Fawlty Towers (12 episodes) airs about 7 times a week, down from 11. - Committed plans are kept and phase in. A cursor saved by an older version simply has no block positions and starts them fresh. - Unit tests: 330 passed, including the 9 plan fingerprints from 0.81.4 and a new day-to-day rotation test. Lint passed. + +## Install checks (3 November 2026, Paul's list) + +Two weeks replayed from the box's real pools, committed plans and progress for all 30 smart channels, topping up every hour as the app does, with every plan and progress file written and read back each hour as after a restart. A second run without the fix gives the comparison. + +- Restarts: the run through files matched an unbroken run exactly on all 30 channels. Each block's place is saved in the plan's tail. +- Committed plans: unchanged in all 337 hourly top-ups on every channel. +- Gaps: none. Fallbacks: the same with and without the fix (only film channels resting films). The same show on two channels at once: 0. +- Blocks, weekdays and weekends: every new programme came from the right block for its time and day. Vortex's films only at Movie Night on Friday and Saturday. +- Episode order: no in-order show skipped or repeated an episode; mixed shows followed their own mix, with 0 to 2% of steps happening to be the next episode. +- Each block now starts its day from different shows: Dark Files' day block 6 different openers in 8 days, against 2 before; Orbit 2's daytime 6 of 9, against 1. +- Special rules: Tots never more than 2 in a row; Paradox and Dark Files kept their blocks; Ring X's nights unchanged. +- Shows unaired in the replay after the fix are short series that had finished their round and were waiting for the others (the finish-together rule, unchanged), and new comedy titles the box hadn't read yet. +- Limit: the progress file doesn't carry block places, only the plan file does. If both copies of a plan were lost, blocks would start afresh, as before. + +Installed on the box 3 November 2026 at about 13:30 with the box on the Google TV home screen; the app wasn't launched. Plans stay as they were until Orbit next opens and reads its new lists.
