7-day verdict strip

The row of day cards at the top of the Irrigation tab. Each card is the engine’s answer to one question: “if this day were tonight, would we water?” computed against the merged forecast for that day.

Each card shows the day’s weather glyph, the high/low, expected rain, and a verdict pill:

VerdictMeaning
RunConditions clear every skip rule; zones water their planned minutes.
SkipA rule trips (rain, wind, cold, soil already wet); the reason is on the card.
ExtendA heat trigger lengthens runs beyond the baseline plan.
OffWatering is paused (vacation mode) or outside allowed days.

Only tonight’s card is a commitment; later days re-evaluate every forecast refresh, so a Tuesday “skip” can become “run” as the rain chance fades. The strip exists to answer “do I need to think about watering this week?” at a glance.

The same verdict logic powers per-zone pills on the Zones page; a zone can disagree with the day (its own soil probe says wet) and skip alone.
