The dataset's median passage was 69 characters, about twelve words, which is
over in twelve seconds at an ordinary speed. Some packs were worse: shell had
a median of 46 and a shortest entry of 17. That is the reason packs felt
small. It was not the number of entries, which was 15 to 37 per pack, but the
length of each one.

Multiplayer had already hit this and worked around it: load_race_texts
filters to 120 characters or more. That filter left only 61 of 350 passages
eligible, 38 of them from two packs, so races repeated constantly and four
packs could never come up at all.

Both halves are fixed.

Content: 104 longer passages added across every pack. The command packs get
whole pipelines rather than single flags, which is how the tools are actually
used and what the explanations were always for. Prose packs get passages that
run 150 to 320 characters.

Selection: a floor of 120 characters. Prose packs draw from their long
entries where a pack holds at least five, so no pack is reduced to the same
few passages. The command packs chain consecutive entries into one drill,
which is the natural shape for them, and the explanations are collected so
each line is still described.

Measured over 400 draws per pack, every category now runs a median of 146 to
218 characters with a shortest draw of 120. The race pool went from 61 of 350
to 130 of 454.

Attribution: 24 passages had none and displayed nothing at all under the
text. They now say Unknown, which is the honest answer for a fact written for
the pack, and the pangram is credited as one. The results and typing screens
both fall back to Unknown rather than rendering an empty line, and the pack
name is shown beside the source.

Multiplayer results, three fixes:

- PB never appeared. A race has no mode of its own, so modeKey was undefined,
  so recordResult never ran. Races share one key, because the passage is
  whatever the server dealt and a per-passage best would never be beaten.
- Play Again started a solo test. A race carries standings and a solo run does
  not, so the results screen can tell them apart and now queues for another
  race. The end screen's own cleanup leaves the old room first.
- CONSISTENCY was the longest label on the screen and made the accuracy
  column wider than the WPM column opposite it. It reads CON.

RaceText carries the pack name so the results can show it for a race the same
way single player does.

24 Rust tests and 3 browser tests pass.

Naming
- "Typing Test" removed from the browser tab, the crate description and the
  READMEs. The scope outgrew it: solo practice, live races, code drills and
  adaptive weak-key training.

Content
- Movies was prose *about* film, not film quotes - the same mistake the
  programming pack had. Replaced with 28 attributed lines. New anime pack,
  28 lines across 24 series.
- This follows the model TypeRacer states outright ("type quotes from popular
  music, songs, anime, comic books and more"): short excerpts attributed to
  the work they came from. The scalable half of their approach is user
  submission with moderation, which is a feature this does not have yet.

Leaderboard
- An empty board tells a new player nobody is here. Bots now race the eight
  fixed-length leaderboard modes, seeded with a fortnight of backdated results
  on first run and one new result every 90 seconds after.
- They are ordinary users carrying is_bot, returned by the same query and
  labelled "bot" in the UI. Seeding a board is reasonable; passing synthetic
  scores off as human results is not, so the flag travels with the row.
- Seeding is checked per mode. A single result from the live ticker used to
  satisfy an "any bot results" guard and leave every other mode empty forever.

Stats
- The per-key accuracy data Practice mode is built on was computed, used to
  generate text, and never shown. The screen now ranks your weakest keys with
  the error rate and pause length behind each one.
- Added recent form against your lifetime average, best accuracy, and tests
  this week.

Multiplayer standings
- Now place, racer, WPM, accuracy and time, with column labels - the columns
  TypeRacer and 10FastFingers both show.

Site furniture
- Share (Web Share where available, clipboard otherwise - no third-party
  button, no tracking script), a GitHub link, and a real privacy page written
  from what the code actually stores rather than from a template.

Button hierarchy
- Everything was an outlined box of roughly equal weight, so a screen's one
  real action, a settings toggle and a filter chip looked alike. Three tiers
  now: primary (filled, one per screen), default (outlined), quiet (toggles
  and filters, bordered only when hovered or active).
