- **Operational knot-selection matrix.** Compare task, load behavior, release needs, and rope condition. Results explain both fit and failure modes, stop entirely for damaged or unknown rope, and elevate life-safety limitations. - **Rope lifecycle records.** Log dated inspections, findings, notes, and pass/watch/retire outcomes. Existing inspection history is imported into structured records without discarding the original log. - **Spaced practice.** Due and overdue reviews now use confidence and successful repetitions to schedule the next recall while preserving the complete practice history. - **Clearer safety boundaries.** Prominent notices identify the app as instructional reference, require rope and knot inspection, and state that calculations are unverified estimates rather than WLLs, certification, or qualified instruction. - **More resilient local data.** An unreadable SwiftData store is backed up before recovery; Settings reports recovery or temporary-storage status. - **Accessibility.** Touched flows use Dynamic Type, stronger VoiceOver descriptions, and at least 44-point interactive targets.
