 ## BUG-283 | 今日星语每次进入首页都停在“没能生成”

+- 状态：regressed
 - 首次发现：2026-08-18
-- 最近更新：2026-08-18
+- 最近更新：2026-08-19
 - 影响面：`/` 首页“今日星语”卡片、`POST /api/daily-starlanguage`、进程内缓存与浏览器当日缓存
 - 用户现象：资料完整的账号每次打开首页，卡片都显示“今天的星语没能生成，稍后再回来看看；这里不会用通用文案顶替。”，没有当日内容。
 - 触发条件：出生时间可用于个人星盘的账号进入首页。冷路径或换实例后必现。
 - 根因：BUG-265 把卡片改成同步等待 Agent，失败就不展示内容；BUG-269 修好了请求守卫，但首页仍把 30–45 秒的模型生成当作首屏依赖。进程内缓存不跨实例、不跨重启，JSON 解析或超时失败后客户端只剩失败文案。再进入等于再走一条冷路径。
 - 修复：星盘、双轨 Dasha、分盘和过境算完后，立刻用这份证据拼一张个人卡片返回，不再等待模型。Agent 改为后台润色，成功才覆盖缓存。首页按账号+资料指纹把当天卡片写入 localStorage，刷新先显示已有内容；只有星盘算不出来才落到失败文案。日期改用出生时区日历日，不再用 UTC。
 - 验证：`frontend/tests/daily-starlanguage.test.ts` 覆盖证据卡片因盘而异、未确认出生时间不用上升宫、请求路径不阻塞 Agent、失败不覆盖已缓存卡片。
-- 防复发：首页入口卡片不得把 LLM 生成当作首屏成功条件。禁止用固定四句文案池顶替；也禁止在生成失败时让整张卡空白。

+## BUG-299 | 今日星语首屏仍失败：证据卡还在等完整星盘
+
+- 状态：resolved
+- 首次发现：2026-08-19
+- 最近更新：2026-08-19
+- 影响面：`/` 首页“今日星语”卡片、`POST /api/daily-starlanguage`、`/api/daily_guidance`
+- 用户现象：资料完整的账号一进首页就看到“今天的星语没能生成。点这里从今日问起；不会用通用文案顶替。”，没有当日内容。
+- 触发条件：出生时间可用于个人星盘的账号打开首页。冷路径必现。
+- 根因：BUG-283 不再等模型，但首屏仍串行调用完整 `/api/chart`（含 VedAstro 总览、Shadbala、瑜伽等）再并行等 Vimshottari、Narayana、D9/D10、过境，最坏约 40 秒，超过路由 `maxDuration = 30`。超时后客户端只剩失败文案。失败文案还写了“点这里”，而整张卡本来就是点击热区。仓库里已有轻量 `/api/daily_guidance`（本命盘 + 今日月亮过境宫 + 当前大运），首页没用。
+- 修复：首屏只调 `/api/daily_guidance`。卡片按今日月亮过境宫与当前大运拼句，不用四句通用文案池，也不用本命月亮宫冒充今日。Agent 润色仍在后台。失败态改成“今天的星语还没写出来。”，行动改为“从今日问起”。引擎超时 8 秒，路由上限 20 秒。
+- 验证：`frontend/tests/daily-starlanguage.test.ts` 锁定 `/api/daily_guidance`、禁止首屏 `/api/chart`、今日过境宫与本命月宫区分、失败文案不含“点这里”；`tests/test_daily_guidance_service.py` 锁定结构化宫位/大运且不同日期会变。
+- 防复发：首页日签不得把完整 `/api/chart` 或四层附加计算当作首屏成功条件。失败文案不得写“点这里”，也不得解释内部“不用通用文案”政策。
+- 相关记录：BUG-265、BUG-269、BUG-283
+- 复发自：BUG-283（不再等模型，但仍把完整排盘当首页可用性）
