fix: current speed stuck at 0 B/s (unstable spring animation) - #30
Merged
Conversation
animate.Spring multiplied velocity by 1 - damping*dt. At the UI tick interval (130ms) this evaluates to 1 - 12*0.13 = -0.56, a negative damping factor that flips the velocity sign and grows its magnitude every tick. The animated throughput value collapsed to deep negative values, which FormatBpsExt clamps to zero — so the current download/ upload readout stayed at 0 B/s while the sparkline and peak (which read raw history samples) showed real traffic. Damping now uses exp(-damping*dt), which stays positive for any step size, keeping the spring stable and convergent. Adds a regression test at the UI tick interval. Bump VERSION to 0.2.2. Closes #29

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:
- In
TestSpringStableAtUITickInterval, consider replacing the hard-coded0.13with a named constant (or referencing the UI tick interval source) so the test stays aligned if the tick rate changes in the future. - Now that
Springusesmath.Exp(-damping * dt), it may be worth adding a short comment near the function explaining the expected range ofdtanddamping(e.g., to avoid extreme under/overflow) so future changes don’t accidentally push it into pathological regimes.

## Overall Comments
- In `TestSpringStableAtUITickInterval`, consider replacing the hard-coded `0.13` with a named constant (or referencing the UI tick interval source) so the test stays aligned if the tick rate changes in the future.
- Now that `Spring` uses `math.Exp(-damping * dt)`, it may be worth adding a short comment near the function explaining the expected range of `dt` and `damping` (e.g., to avoid extreme under/overflow) so future changes don’t accidentally push it into pathological regimes.Help me be more useful!

Limit and correct the stability claim.
Exponential damping keeps the damping multiplier positive, but Spring still performs explicit force integration without a dt bound or substepping. This change does not establish convergence at every possible step size. Limit the claim to the tested 130 ms UI interval unless a timestep contract is added. Also change evaluated to evaluates.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Reject non-finite values explicitly.
If Spring returns NaN, both math.Abs(val-target) > ... and val < minVal are false. The regression test can then pass incorrectly. Check for NaN and infinity immediately after each spring update.

What
Fixes #29 — the live download/upload speed readout in hero/compact/mini views was stuck at
0 B/swhile the sparkline and peak values showed real traffic.Root cause
animate.Springdamped velocity with1 - damping*dt. The UI tick interval is 130ms, so withdamping = 12this evaluates to1 - 12*0.13 = -0.56— a negative damping factor. Every tick the velocity flipped sign and grew in magnitude, driving the animated value (animDown/animUp) to deep negative numbers.FormatBpsExtclamps negatives to zero, so the display stuck at0 B/s— confirmed by simulation. The sparkline and peak were unaffected because they read raw history samples, exactly matching the issue report.Fix
Use an exponential damping factor
exp(-damping*dt), which stays positive for any step size. Spring remains underdamped (nice overshoot) but provably stable and convergent at 130ms ticks.Also bumped VERSION to 0.2.2 (VERSION file,
main.goversion string, CHANGELOG entry).Verification
