windsteer: name the close-hauled angle's wind reference and default it to 45 - #617
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe wind-steer angle field now shows degree units and states that close-hauled line locations use the true wind angle. The widget default and two dashboard defaults change from 40 to 45 degrees. ChangesWind-steer angle configuration

Full details: Linked Issues checkExplanation The changes satisfy the true-wind wording and the 40-to-45 defaults in Full details: Title checkExplanation The title clearly describes the Windsteer change, but it does not use the required Conventional Commit form because it omits a commit type before the scope. The trigger is the PR title format; the affected code path is Windsteer configuration and defaults; the user-visible consequence is that the title does not meet repository parsing and consistency requirements.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAssert the 45-degree scalar defaults. The widget spec does not assert
WidgetWindComponent.DEFAULT_CONFIG.laylineAngle, and the dashboard spec checks seeded paths but notlaylineAngle. A revert to40would therefore leave the tests passing while new wind-steer widgets or seeded dashboards use the wrong layline angle. Add focused scalar-default assertions to both specs.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

The "Optimal Close-hauled Angle" field gave no wind reference, so 40 read as a true angle and 25-30 read as an apparent one with nothing to distinguish them. A user who entered an apparent number got both close-hauled lines displaced toward the bow by TWA - AWA. Add a hint naming the true wind angle as the reference. Add a degree suffix, matching the ms suffix on the update-interval field. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
40 degrees is a racing number. 45 is closer to what a cruising boat beats at, and windsteer ships with close-hauled lines enabled, so the default is what most users see first. Covers the widget default and both widget-wind-steer entries in the blank dashboard; the generated MCP schema artifact follows. Saved dashboards keep their stored value, so only new widgets change.

CodeRabbit's other finding, from the review of the previous head, asked the specs to assert the 45 default. Filed as #619 rather than folded in here. Asserting the value would pin a constant to itself and need editing on every default change. The real gap is that |

Why
The windsteer "Optimal Close-hauled Angle" field never said which wind it is measured from. 40 reads as a true wind angle, 25-30 reads as apparent, and nothing in the UI distinguished them. The code treats the value as true:
svg-windsteer.component.ts:346-353draws the lines atTWA +/- lay. A user who entered an apparent number therefore got both close-hauled lines displaced toward the bow byTWA - AWA, which is 10-20 degrees when beating.That ambiguity is what #613 was reporting, via the equivalent upstream Kip change. The geometry is correct as it stands; the label was not.
What
The field now carries a hint naming the true wind angle as its reference, and a degree suffix in the style of the update-interval field above it.
The default moves from 40 to 45. Windsteer ships with close-hauled lines enabled, so the default is what most users see before they touch anything, and 45 is closer to what a cruising boat actually beats at. Saved dashboards keep their stored value, so only newly created widgets change.
Verification
./run ciclean: lint, strictNullChecks, 2163 tests across 180 files, plus the 34 schema-project tests../run buildsucceeds.The generated
src/assets/skip-dashboard-schema.jsonembeds widget defaults, so its spec failed until regenerated withnpm run gen:mcp-schema; that regeneration is in the second commit.Notes for the reviewer
The angle field lives in the shared
root-modal-widget-configtemplate, gated onlaylineEnable !== undefined. Racesteer also setslaylineEnable, so the new hint renders there too, and racesteer does not readlaylineAngleat all. Its default is left at 40 and untouched here. Whether that key is simply dead in racesteer needs its own look, noted in #616.Renaming the
laylineAngleandlaylineEnableconfig keys is deliberately not part of this change; the keys are persisted in user dashboards. That work waits for a config schema change, tracked in #616.Closes #615
