Version one to version two
Version one was built in a weekend and lasted eleven months, which is longer than anything else here. Version two took three weeks and exists because of one screen that had quietly become unexplainable.

What the rewrite was actually for
Nothing on the outside changed. No user asked for this and no user noticed it, which is the honest summary. What changed is that I can now answer a question about that screen in under a minute instead of opening four files and guessing. That was worth three weeks to me and would be worth nothing to somebody shipping this for a client.
