The shop knows when it is open, and says so — to visitors and to Google

Three things a bakery's site should do that this one couldn't, all from the same fact. THE HOURS WERE MARKUP, so the only thing the site could do with them was print them. A visitor at half past two on a Sunday had to work out for themselves that the shop was shut. They are data now (Shop.WEEK), and `Hours` reads them two ways: as the list the footer and the contact page print — consecutive days with the same times collapsed into one line, the way a sign does it, instead of three hand-written rows — and as an answer. The header now says "Open until 2:00pm", or "Closed · opens Tuesday at 7:00am", worked out on the server in the shop's own timezone. Right now, on a Sunday evening, it says the latter. THE SHOP IS NOW DESCRIBED TO A SEARCH ENGINE: schema.org Bakery in the head, with the address, the phone number and those same opening times. For a shop whose customers find it by searching its town, that is the difference between a blue link and a listing that shows "Open ⋅ closes 2pm" — and it cannot drift from what the page says, because it is built from the same record. Serialised with Jackson rather than string-built, so the day somebody interpolates a name into it, it is not an injection. (Jackson 3 — `tools.jackson` — which is what Boot 4 ships; the fasterxml import does not compile.) A SHARED LINK NOW HAS A PICTURE. og:image, og:image:alt and a large summary card: it was a grey box with a title, which is what every link to this site has looked like in a message. AND IT PRINTS. The catering page is a price list and a bakery prints price lists — Ctrl-P now gives the prices on paper rather than a screenshot of a website: no chrome, no sage bands eating a cartridge, cards that don't split across a page break, and the buttons that only exist to be clicked marked `no-print`. Five new tests, all of them free of Spring, because this is a calculation over a constant: the week collapses as a sign would write it, the minute of opening counts as open and the minute of closing does not, and a Saturday afternoon is told when Tuesday starts. Also swept the last one-off styles the earlier pass missed — max-w-3xl/4xl, an inline letter-spacing the .h2 class already carries, and the mobile menu's link string.
