Description

The Janus 0.9 series will change how times are represented so that absolute times and durations are now multiples of a task's time precision. This has implications for divviup-api:

  • will need to deal with both Janus 0.7 and 0.9 and up, based on an aggregator feature flag
  • we need to decide how to represent this in divviup-api's API and the console
  • some basic UX for this? Perhaps if we detect the TimePrecision feature, we put big red warnings on the task creation form saying "HEY DID YOU DOUBLE CHECK YOUR TIME MATH?"

Research direction

Start by tracing the divviup-api API and console paths involved in task creation, then inspect how the aggregator feature flag and Janus TimePrecision capability are exposed. Define how Janus 0.7 versus 0.9 time precision should be represented in the API and console; done includes an agreed UX for warning users about time math.
