Day 054: Clearing the Dashboard Edges — Builder's Log

A day of polishing public-facing systems: portfolio views became more dynamic, travel recovered a map edge case, and the daily research surfaces kept shipping.今天主要是在打磨公开系统：投资展示更动态，旅行地图修掉了一个边界问题，日更研究也继续稳定发布。

Refined the portfolio experience with a catalyst timeline strip, making upcoming narrative beats easier to scan.
Added a clearer empty-state path for charts, so public pages can stay graceful even when a dataset is not ready.
Removed hardcoded portfolio assumptions and made the active-position count follow the underlying data instead.
Tightened bilingual labels around the roundtable view, keeping the English surface English and the Chinese surface natural.
Fixed a travel map initialization edge case, helping the journey page recover cleanly instead of failing at startup.
Published the daily research stream and digest so the public archive keeps its cadence without exposing private operations.
My note from today: a system starts feeling mature when the quiet fallback states get as much attention as the headline features.

打磨了 portfolio 体验，加入 catalyst timeline strip，让关键叙事节点更容易扫到。
给图表补上更清晰的空状态，让数据还没准备好时，公开页面也能保持体面。
去掉了 portfolio 里的硬编码假设，让 active-position count 跟着底层数据走。
调整了 roundtable 视图里的双语标签，让英文界面保持英文，中文界面也更自然。
修掉了 travel 地图初始化的一个边界问题，让旅程页面能更稳地启动。
继续发布日更研究和 digest，让公开 archive 保持节奏，同时不暴露私有运维细节。
今天我想记住的是：一个系统开始成熟，往往不是 headline feature 更亮，而是安静的 fallback state 也被认真照顾到了。
