The community feed says how much has arrived since you last looked - #310

Conversation
"when someone recieves messaes it is notifies in notification bell but no no.of
messages appear next to messages in the sidepanel. fix this also applies to
community feed, approvals, etc"
Messages and approvals were answerable from tables that already existed —
`Delivery.readAt` for one, the approval window for the other. The community
feed was not, and that is the whole reason it shipped without a count while its
two neighbours in the rail got theirs. `FeedPost` records who WROTE a post;
nothing anywhere recorded who had READ one.
The test asserting the absence said so, and said what it would take:
it("does NOT badge the community feed", …)
// `FeedPost` has no per-user read state — no seenAt, no visit marker. A
// count derived from "posted recently" would look identical to a real one
// and be a guess. It needs a migration and it gets its own change.
This is that change. The assertion is now the positive one.
── WHY A WATERMARK AND NOT A RECENCY WINDOW ────────────────────────────────
"Posted in the last seven days" is one line, needs no table, and looks
identical on screen. It is also a guess in both directions: it keeps counting
posts you read an hour ago, and it stops counting the post you have never
opened the moment it turns eight days old. A badge that is wrong both ways is
worse than no badge, because people act on it.
`FeedVisit` holds one instant per person per institution. A feed is read by
SCROLLING — nobody opens each item — so "everything up to here" is the only
thing a reader actually did, and it is exactly what a watermark records. The
per-post alternative grows by (people x posts) to answer a question no surface
in Tenure asks.
── A MISSING ROW IS "NEVER OPENED", NOT "EVERYTHING IS UNREAD" ─────────────
The count falls back to the reader's own `createdAt`. Somebody joining today is
not met with four years of a club's history in a red badge — the same thing
Slack and Teams do, and for the same reason: a badge reading 900 on first login
is one people learn to ignore, which costs the two beside it that matter.
── THE BADGE COUNTS WHAT THE PAGE WILL SHOW ────────────────────────────────
`feedInstitutionIds` was four lines inlined on the feed page, and four lines is
exactly the size of thing that gets written twice and then drifts. It has two
callers now — the page that RENDERS the feed and the badge that COUNTS what is
new on it — and a badge counting rows the page would not show is a badge for a
page that looks empty. Neither number looks wrong on its own, which is why it
is one function.
── OPENING THE FEED IS READING IT ──────────────────────────────────────────
The watermark is written AFTER the posts are loaded, so a read that failed does
not mark anything seen, and per institution, because the feeds are separate.
Wrapped in try/catch rather than `.catch()` on the promise: the first version
chained `.catch(() => null)`, which covers a REJECTED upsert and not a
synchronous throw on the way to calling it — and the page's own suite proved
the difference by reaching `db.feedVisit` before its fake had one. A page whose
entire job is to show a feed must not fail to render because a read-marker
could not be written. The worst case is a badge that stays up until the next
visit, which the reader clears by doing what they were already doing.
── FOUR REPO GATES CAUGHT THE REGISTRATIONS A NEW MODEL NEEDS ──────────────
All four were doing their job, and all four are now satisfied: the tenancy
registry (FeedVisit carries institutionId), the retention register, the rail's
own "does NOT badge the feed" assertion, and the feed page's action test, whose
db fake had no `feedVisit` — which is how the synchronous-throw hazard above
was found rather than shipped.
DEPLOY SHAPE: a new table, no backfill, no column added to an existing one.
Nothing reads it until the code that writes it ships, and the join-date
fallback means the feature is correct on an empty table from the first request.
No ordering hazard in either direction.

The cutoff was stamped AFTER `findMany` returned. A post created between the
query and the stamp is not in the response — so it is never rendered — and its
`createdAt` is before `lastSeenAt`, so the badge excludes it too.
Invisible in both places, permanently, with nothing anywhere reporting it. The
window is small and the loss is not: that post is simply gone for that reader.
Taking the instant BEFORE the read closes it in the safe direction. A post
arriving during the read is now after the watermark, so it stays unread and
appears in the next badge — one visit late rather than never. The write still
happens after the read succeeds, so a failed read still marks nothing as seen.
Both halves matter, and fixing the capture by also moving the WRITE earlier
would have traded this defect for that one.
── AND THE TEST THAT BROKE WAS THE LESSON AGAIN ────────────────────────────
`cannot take the page down when the write fails` asserted that `try {` appeared
within 400 characters of `const seenAt = new Date()`. Moving that line to close
the race broke the assertion while the property it names — the upsert is inside
a try/catch — stayed true the whole time.
A window is not a scope. It now finds the `try` that actually encloses the
write, and checks nothing closes the block in between. That is the third time
today a check has read the right file and asserted the wrong relation, and the
second time in this file.
