Revised discussion artifact

Users select the Pond. AquaSense supplies the rest.

One Culture calendar per active Pond derives Cycle, DOP, and DOC for both Plankton and Health. The Sample date is fixed when the Draft is created.

01 · Agreed model

Two one-click events drive both products.

Start DOP begins preparation at DOP 1. Start DOC marks stocking day as DOC 0. Neither routine action asks the Admin to enter a date.

AutomaticCurrent local date, Cycle, DOP, and DOC
AccountableEvery lifecycle change has an immutable audit entry
preparation: DOP = days since Start DOP + 1 · stocked: DOC = days since Start DOC

04 · What the redraw removes

Less UI and fewer branches.

Sample date input Removed. Create Sample fixes the local calendar date.
Manual Cycle Removed. The active Culture calendar supplies it.
Manual DOC Removed. Start DOP and Start DOC derive the current day.
Analyze confirmation Removed. The metadata row stays visible beside Analyze.
Client/server mismatch branch Removed. The server replaces stale derived values.
Individual Sample correction Removed from scope. Admins can correct only the stocking date.
