Mast Pager

A page can sound through the ringer switch Turn on critical alerts and a page sounds at its own volume, through the ringer switch and through every Focus. It is off until you turn it on: Settings, the gear at the top of the feed, then Critical alerts, then Turn on. iOS asks separately from the notification prompt, because it is the one permission that overrides a physical switch. With it off, a page still breaks through Focus and repeats until someone acknowledges it, as before. Pause your pages, for as long as you say Mute and quiet hours have never silenced a page — that is the whole of what a page is — so there was nothing to reach for when you walk into a room the phone must not ring in. A pause is that control: you name a length, a page arriving inside the window lands in the feed without a sound, and everything nobody acknowledged pages again at full volume the moment the window closes. Nothing is dropped and nothing is downgraded; what changes is when the phone makes noise. An amber banner carries the countdown while one is open, with End early one tap away, and a channel can be allowed to keep its voice through a pause. Every vital, as a field of dots Fifteen vitals used to read "15 vitals" and one green ball: a number you had to trust and could not check. The feed draws one dot per vital now, colored by its own state, so a single amber dot in a green field is visible without opening anything. The field breathes in the order your fleet actually beats; Reduce Motion keeps the color and drops the movement. Five tones, and a picker that plays them The Sound row offered one choice and a promise. Five tones ship — pager, klaxon, rising, chirp and bleep — and tapping one plays it, through the ringer switch exactly as the notification will be, because a rehearsal that plays through a silenced phone is a dishonest one. Take the text of a page off the phone The title and the body of an incident are selectable: press and hold a word to take the hostname or the error string on its own. Under the message, Copy · Share copies the whole thing in one tap — the title and the body as the sender wrote them, and nothing else. A feed row is a button, so a long press on one offers Copy message and Copy incident instead, as VoiceOver actions too. Copy the whole incident from the log Press and hold the event log for Copy incident: the channel, the priority, an absolute timestamp carrying its offset, the message, the sender's link and every line of the delivery record, as plain text for a ticket or a thread. The feed says which messages arrived silently A row that was silenced says so, read off the message rather than off the channel, so a mute set this evening no longer marks something that arrived this morning at full volume. A muted channel now reads as muted wherever the app offers to mute it, so checking no longer rewrites the window. Settings, where Tissue was, and the version in it The screen behind the gear is called Settings, and the device you are holding leads it. It holds what it always did — the account, critical alerts, the wake checklist — but it is named after what is on it. It ends with the version: the release number the App Store shows, and under it the build this device registered with. A first minute that says what it is doing A cold launch with a populated cache drew the wall of vitals for one frame before the first sync answered. The feed says connecting in that gap instead. Forty-four text styles scale with Dynamic Type, up from seven, and the header takes two rows when one will not hold it. Smaller things A channel made from a script or a deployment tool showed its name and its messages but not its send address, on the phone that owned it; it reads the address for every channel it can see now. A code block's Copy and Share were announced to VoiceOver as one element named after the command, so neither could be reached. The 12- or 24-hour clock is the phone's setting rather than a row of Mast's.
