All 192 Tests Passed While Amana Kept Repeating the Same Three Names
Amana passed 192 tests but kept repeating sky names. Here is how modular arithmetic, realistic fixtures, and a Swift harness exposed the gap.
On September 10, the author was capturing screenshots for the Amana app. The collection screen displayed every sky they had photographed, each with a name assigned by the app. They fed seven photos through the English UI, resulting in three distinct names: Day's End from the West, Day's End, and Word from the West. Despite the collection screen having a duplicate check in place, the same three names appeared repeatedly.
The author attempted to resolve this issue by swapping photos three times, but the result remained unchanged. This led to the realization that the current approach was inadequate. The author then built a small harness, copying the feature-extraction code and running it against the seven JPEGs. By doing so, the harness reproduced the same three English names consistently, highlighting the need for a more effective solution.
