There was a problem hiding this comment.
🔴 Countdown badge shows the wrong day and hides today's events later in the day
The days-until-event count is now measured from the current clock time instead of from the start of today (Math.floor((eventDay.getTime() - now.getTime()) / MS_PER_DAY) at lib/event-date.ts:21), so any time past midnight the result is short by a fraction of a day and rounds down to the wrong number.
Impact: An event happening today is treated as already past (its badge disappears), an event tomorrow is labelled "Today", and every countdown is off by one for most of the day.
Why removing the local-midnight baseline breaks the count
Previously today was set to local midnight of now and both operands were midnight timestamps, so the subtraction yielded an exact whole number of days. The new code subtracts the full current timestamp. For example with now = 2026-07-17 15:30 and event 2026-07-17, eventDay is 2026-07-17 00:00, so the difference is -15.5h and Math.floor(...) = -1, which eventCountdownLabel (lib/event-date.ts:26-28) maps to null instead of "Today". Likewise event 2026-07-18 yields ~0.35 → 0 → "Today" instead of "Tomorrow". This also fails the existing tests in tests/event-date.test.ts:25-35 (e.g. expecting daysUntilEvent("2026-07-17", now) === 0 and the DST case === 2).

Summary
The "Today / Tomorrow / In N days" badge only appeared on an event's claim page, so the home page list gave no sense of urgency. This renders the same
eventCountdownLabelbadge next to each event's date on/.Also simplifies
daysUntilEventto subtract straight fromnowinstead of allocating a secondDatefor local midnight:Based on #17 (test suite + CI), so this targets that branch until it lands.
