MEDIUM: the status bar contradicts itself, counts the wrong things, and goes blank in two of six views #106
Description
Severity: MEDIUM. Class: broken.
What breaks
The status bar reports a count that silently changes meaning between views, counts the wrong objects on one view, and goes blank on two — including on a second visit to the view that populated it the first time.
Where
public/js/app.js — the status-bar update calls; the bar itself is 22 px tall and always present.
How to reproduce
Reproduced live. Walking the six views in order and reading #status-bar after each render:
| view | status bar |
|---|---|
| Monat | 4 Termine geladen. |
| Woche | 2 Termine geladen. |
| Tag | 0 Termine geladen. |
| Agenda | (empty) |
| Aufgaben (Kanban) | 5 Termine geladen. |
| Monat (again) | (empty) |
Why it matters
Three separate problems in one control. The count is scoped to the visible window, so "0 Termine geladen." on a free day reads as "loading produced nothing" rather than "this day is free" — the design system's rule that a loading, empty and error state must each say which it is. It reports events on the Kanban board, which shows tasks. And because it blanks in two of six views, it cannot be relied on as confirmation of anything, while still occupying permanent screen real estate.
Fix direction: make the bar state-explicit ("Lade…", "Keine Termine an diesem Tag.", "4 Termine"), scope its noun to what the current view shows, and give every view a value so it never goes blank.

Still live on
origin/master@5a92edd. Not closing.The three symptoms in the table are genuinely gone.
public/js/app.js:250to:310now reaches anannounce()call on every render path, and the Kanban branch atapp.js:274reportsN Aufgabeninstead of an event count. DrivingrenderCalendarViewonce per view with the status bar reset to''before each call (so a view that never writes stays visibly blank) gives: month, week, workweek, day, agenda all2 Termine; kanban3 Aufgaben. ThesetTimeout(() => setStatus(''), 3000)that blanked the bar on a second visit is gone.What is still live is the blank bar itself, on the error state.

DrivingloadEvents()against a rejectingEventsAPI.listwith no cache entry, the bar receives, in order:Final value: empty. A failed load still leaves the always present bar blank, which is the "cannot be relied on as confirmation of anything" case the issue names; and since
#status-barcarriesaria-live="polite"(public/index.html:482), the error text is written and wiped within the same task, so it is unlikely to be announced at all.Secondary: the empty state is still a bare count. A free day renders
0 Termine, not an explicit "Keine Termine an diesem Tag.". Of the three states in the fix direction, only "Lade Termine…" is state explicit.One note on the regression guard, since it carries the issue number in its

PatchingrenderCalendarViewso every view except month returns beforeannounce()leaves four of six views never touching the bar, and the test still passes 2/2 on stale content. It does have teeth on the Kanban noun: swappingAufgabeback toTerminatapp.js:274turns it red. Both patches were reverted;git status --porcelainis empty.BeSovereign commentedon Sep 28, 2026

Automated attempt stopped without a change: Agent reported blocked: The #106 fix is done: a failed load keeps 'Fehler: …' in the status bar instead of blanking it, empty ranges say 'Keine Termine an diesem Tag.'/'Keine Aufgaben.' per view, and the node and E2E tests (pass in isolation) catch a view that skips the bar; playwright.config.js gives each checkout its own E2E database. Blocked because the full Playwright suite fails 26 tests on two leftover calendars (/test/e2e-345-ticked-1791983389577/, /test/e2e-345-unticked-1791983389577/) that another worktree's #345 run left on the shared Radicale; a human must delete them and fix that test's cleanup, then re-run the gates.
