Using our branch-based refactor, our PRs are continuing to bolster insights for our QA, enabling us to build out programmatic test coverage, which is certainly not an overnight feat.

![A flow diagram showing the Services Contact Form process on the Acorn website. The flow begins at START and moves to a Services Single page (default). Users encounter a form asking "Want to chat more about [service]?" with mandatory fields (First name, Last name, Email) and Message field. After form submission, there are two paths:
Success path (green): Leads to Services Single page (success state), sends verification email to inbox, then reaches END
Error path (red): If validation fails for mandatory fields, returns user to the form to correct entries
The diagram includes mockup thumbnails of the services page interface at the bottom. A note references the Figma mockups at the provided URL.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:n3xrtzprp3blxeqiid5abew3/bafkreielzrh3tihvrnh7hulyqctkmi527mysilcucnjc6qqvqer7iatgre@jpeg)

Many struggle with writing alt text for charts and other other data visualizations. Amy Cesal's "Writing Alt Text for Data Visualization" hammers home the importance of explaining the chart type, the type of data, and the reason for the chart.

Writing Alt Text for Data Visualization
How do you write text that conveys the whole meaning of a visualization? You probably can’t. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try

It's a bit of back and forth, but now KNOWING we have all mongo collections added to the global data container without route provisioning, we can see how total blocking time is implicated by the mongo queries themselves which implicates largest contentful paint.

The applications indexing after the SSR boondoggle on prod *appears* to be making waves now. It's things like these (touching up blemishes on prod while enacting a structural refactor) that have me happy about the environment provisioning. Now we're almost done the overdue global data provider.

Route activation with new SSR patterns starting to show results. Blocking time and thread work will be a doozy, but it's a good first step.

And FINALLY after all that, we begin to be able to roll out design tweaks as well.
The challenge I am giving the team is to
1) enact test coverage on a per page basis while
2) using deltas in code changes such that our coverage is adaptive to revisions.
Now that is a "thriller", to us.

Branch-to-trunk updates:
We did need the branch for the core upgrades to INFORM the coverage. So while divergent from our QA branch, we can at least stipulate what is going on, and what needs coverage to begin to trunk.
🧟Otherwise we would haunt the project🧟

One little trick we like to do with festive decorations is to construct a to-do list to verify applicability of the decals themselves:
1) Is the jack-o-lantern positioning itself a fire hazard?
2) Does the team have any pumpkin allergies?
3) What is the risk of haunting?
