Chain Link States

A chain that only ever showed 'done' or 'broken' would be lying about most real progress. Chain link states exist to give every day an honest, specific visual instead of flattening the whole history into two outcomes. A solid link means the day was fully completed. A partial fill shows a count or duration task that made real progress but didn't reach its target — three glasses of the eight, fifteen of the thirty minutes. A thin minimum stroke marks a day where only the bare floor was met, enough to count but visibly less than a full effort. A repaired weld band marks a day fixed after the fact with a repair credit — it counts, but it's drawn differently from a day that was never broken, because pretending otherwise would erase the honesty the whole system is built on. A skipped link, muted and neutral, marks a day spent on a skip credit — deliberately paused, not failed, and deliberately not celebrated either, just left alone. A frost-outlined link marks a day the system protected automatically, like Balanced mode's weekly auto-skip catching a miss before it broke anything. A dashed link marks a day the task itself was paused, not due. And a genuinely broken day gets its own visibly split link — honest and muted, never colored red or dramatized. The point of all seven is the same: the chain in front of you should look like what actually happened, not like a cleaned-up version of it.
