The sidebar page could serve a previous card for hours. It imported the
card through the stable facade, `./houseplan-card.js` — a relative
specifier, and relative resolution does not inherit a query. A dashboard
reaches the same file as `houseplan-card.js?v=1.74.0`, so an upgrade
changes its URL and the browser must refetch. The panel always asked for
the same address, and entries are served with no Cache-Control at all —
only ETag and Last-Modified — so the browser applies heuristic freshness
and may answer from cache without asking. A stale 1164-byte loader names
a stale chunk, chunks are immutable for a year, and the panel then ran a
previous card against the current backend without a single error. The
version banner was telling the truth; reloading could not help, because
the address never changed.
Rollup already emits the right edge: the panel's side-effect import
points straight at the shared implementation. The rewrite in
entryFallbackPlugin replaced it with the facade for a fallback that the
hashed name gives anyway — and better: a chunk the manifest no longer
serves now raises the panel's own "House Plan was updated" notice
instead of silently working on old code.
Two #486 assertions change meaning and are rewritten, not adjusted: the
panel no longer routes through the facade, and its initial graph no
longer contains it. The invariant they defended — the panel reuses the
exact card graph, never a second copy — is now stated over the
implementation, and a new test pins that no built entry reaches the card
by an address without a version.

Golden runs, benchmarks and documentation captures each called
assertFreshDemoBundle; the smoke launcher never did, so all ~128 smokes could
silently test a stale demo/srv/assets bundle. On #234 that cost a round of
analysis: three assertions went red and a fourth went green, because the old
code was wrong in two places that agreed with each other, and a mixed result
reads as a logic defect rather than a stale artefact.
launch() now runs the check once for every smoke, against the repository root
rather than the serving root — demo/srv has no src/** to fingerprint.
HP_ALLOW_STALE_BUNDLE=1 skips it for debugging and warns out loud, because a
guard that says nothing when it steps aside is the silent success this project
keeps removing. A mutation entry proves the call cannot quietly disappear.
