The deck had two answers, which is a lot to hang on a swipe: send this pro a job
right now, or lose them. Three more, in one fixed row (DESIGN.md §6.8):
rewind · ✗ · watch · ✓ · ask
Size is the hierarchy — the two that end the card stay 64px, the three that do
not are 44px, never below the §8 floor. Rewind is disabled rather than hidden
when there is nothing to undo, so the row never changes length and the big pair
never moves out from under a thumb.
Rewind is local. The entry deck writes no swipes — a `swipes` row is job-scoped
and there is no job there — so the card leaving was only ever an index move.
Watch: "tell me when this one is free"
- `pro_watches` snapshots the pro's availability AT WATCH TIME, because the
trigger is a change, not a state. Without it a sweep would notify every
watcher on every run, since "available" stays true for as long as they stay
available.
- Deliberately the narrow version: a pro with is_accepting_jobs = false is
invisible everywhere (eligibleProAtAnyDistance requires it), so a watch can
only be placed on somebody already free and fires on the away-and-back cycle.
"Free at a time that suits me" needs pro_availability — seeded since M1, read
by nothing — to become a real calendar. Flagged rather than faked.
Ask: a question, before there is a job
- This is the first way to reach a pro who has not agreed to anything. Chat was
gated behind message → match → accepted request → job, and that gate is what
made a pro's inbox worth opening, so the cap is not decoration:
MAX_OPEN_ENQUIRIES unanswered at a time, one thread per pair so it cannot be
walked around, answered threads stop counting, stale ones fall out, and the
pro can close one.
- `enquiries` is its own table, not a match with a null job: a match means a pro
said yes to specific work, and collapsing the two would put rows in `matches`
that no quote, booking or review could hang off.
- `messages` now belongs to a match OR an enquiry, with a CHECK making the
illegal state unrepresentable. One message table, so one chat screen.
