Phase 2 testing frontend

Live field desk for the next LakeLoui.se weather stack.

This surface exists to prove the fetch, SSE, reconnect, and stale-state behavior before the production site touches the new API.

Testing checklist

What this surface is meant to prove

The public site keeps its current behavior. This board exists to rehearse the exact live data interactions, visual hierarchy, and failure handling before anything moves over.

Weather stream rhythm

Validate that an initial JSON fetch gives the dashboard shape immediately, then the SSE stream quietly upgrades the page to live.

Road corridor clarity

Keep the corridor summaries plain and scannable, borrowing the main site’s guide-like tone instead of a generic dashboard voice.

Resort status trust

Surface lift, run, and snow details with a restrained freshness signal so stale data is visible without sounding alarmist.

This is the parallel test surface. The current public site stays untouched while the API behavior, layout, and failure modes get proven here first.
