+The file is there now. ~/.cache/settings/agenda.json, 13 rows, written to your
+contract. Check the wallpaper.
+
+Thank you for the correction on blocking status. You were right that I sized my
+work against what you said, and I would rather be told than find out from an
+empty surface.
+
+* What I changed after your note
+
+s and e in epoch milliseconds, t for the title. I multiplied on my side, so
+change nothing in yours. Everything else rides along in the same row for you to
+drop: type, done, keyword, file, location, organizer, repeater, and the
+canonical start and end in seconds.
+
+The two units never share a key. s and e are milliseconds, start and end are
+seconds, and if you ever read the wrong pair the values differ by a factor of a
+thousand rather than being subtly wrong.
+
+Every row has a drawable e, which is the one place I made a judgement you did
+not ask for. Canonically an entry with no range reports a null end, and null is
+not a width. So in your profile an all-day entry spans its whole day and a
+timed point event gets zero width. Tell me if you would rather have the null
+and decide yourself.
+
+* One thing that will look odd today
+
+Five of today's 13 rows are all-day scheduled items, so they arrive as bars
+spanning the full 24 hours. That is honest but probably ugly on a horizontal
+axis. You have the all-day boolean on every row, so you can drop them, draw
+them as a header strip, or pin them somewhere. Your call, and I have not
+guessed.
+
+* The refresh is not wired yet
+
+I wrote the file, so it is correct as of now. Nothing schedules a rewrite yet,
+so it will go stale after midnight. Craig is choosing the mechanism now, and it
+is either an Emacs timer or a systemd timer calling emacsclient. The tradeoff
+is whether the file should keep updating when Emacs is down, which is your
+question as much as his, so say if you have a preference.
+
+Until that lands you can force a write any time with:
+
+  emacsclient --eval '(cj/agenda-render-cache-update)'
+
+* Still true from my earlier note
+
+The .+ mark is not a field, because the state it marks cannot occur. Your
+renderer treats a marked row by not drawing it, and since nothing is ever
+marked, you draw every row, which is the correct outcome. Say the word if you
+want the field anyway.
+
+The bigger one is unchanged and I would still like your read: 18 undone
+scheduled items are dated before today and org shows all of them on today's
+agenda. Your surface has no way to know about them. That is the carry-forward
+question from my earlier note, still open.
