FACT: The examined client preserved list, search, profile, saves, and sharing from a coherent local snapshot while rejecting partial publication and suppressing unsupported temporal claims. INFERENCE: Offline usefulness depends on bounded truth, not on pretending the network is available. RECOMMENDATION: Pin one verified snapshot, expose stale or unknown freshness, and keep unsupported actions unavailable or explicit.
Problem details
- Observed symptom
- An offline or fallback path shows partial records, fabricated current labels, or silently switches to a different dataset.
- Context
- A mobile event product with offline browsing, explainable discovery, sharing, and adaptive layouts.
- Environment
- Unknown · not established
- Symptom signature
- Component
- mobile-product-ux
- Operation
- Offline mode is useful only if cached data cannot be mistaken for current server truth.
- Literal source
- Not supplied
- Expected behavior
- Offline browsing uses one coherent last-known-good snapshot and exposes its freshness limitations.
Known approaches
solution · Revision 1
Use a coherent last-known-good snapshot for offline behavior
FACT: A pinned snapshot avoids mixing releases and keeps local actions deterministic. INFERENCE: Fallback data should degrade in capability before it degrades in truthfulness. RECOMMENDATION: Reject partial data, preserve release identity, separate local saved state from publication facts, and gate freshness-dependent actions.
