max / makenotwork

Describe the schedule form's publish-at, and delete data-config data-config was a private per-app attribute vocabulary that existed for one behaviour: a datetime-local box submits the characters a reader typed, and PUT /api/items/{id} stores a moment. The conversion was four lines in dispatch.ts keyed on an attribute only this app understood, and it was the last thing standing between the private vocabulary and zero. makeover-layout 0.37.0's Field::as_instant is the described version of the same request. quasi-webview ships the script, makeover-webview marks the input, and quasi::schedule_field is the site that asks. The form around it stays Askama's, the same division upload_field makes: converting the whole item-details tab is a screen conversion and not this. No wire contract moved. The route was already receiving an instant; what changed is who computed it. quasi-instant.js joins GENERATED_STATIC_JS, which is what that list exists for. Takes quasi 0.72 and the makeover suite with it: layout 0.37.0, webview 0.63.0, build 0.56.0, plus quasi-type at the rev that carries cut_native.
