During the jappeace#243 migration a TextConfig construction missing the new tcTextColor field compiled with only the default -Wmissing-fields warning, which was overlooked in the build output, and crashed at runtime inside the test suite (in errorWidget of all places). A missing field is always a latent runtime crash, so the warning that can be missed becomes an error that cannot. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
-Werror=missing-fields immediately found three long-standing incomplete UserState constructions in the tests (two in AppContextTests, one in WidgetTests), each missing userPlatformSignInState and userRequestRedraw and surviving only because nothing evaluated those fields. They get a fresh sign-in state and a no-op redraw. Also documents the flag in the changelog. The first push missed these because the local incremental build did not recompile the test modules under the new flag; verified with a forced full recompile this time.

The -Werror=missing-fields change rebuilds every Haskell module, and a timeout-cancelled job skips its nix cache save, so retrying at 45 minutes would start cold every time (run 29340371964 died at exactly 45 minutes mid emulator test). Warm runs stay ~25 minutes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Review finding: the android job has no cache-save step (the only cache-nix-action in the workflow belongs to macos-apk); it reads nix-cache.jappie.me and pushes nothing, so run completion has no effect on the next run's warmth. The real reason for 70 minutes is that a ghc-options change invalidates every Haskell derivation and each run builds cold until the external cache is populated.

…test Same arithmetic as the android bump: the job reads nix-cache.jappie.me and pushes nothing, so ghc-options changes build cold until the cache is fed externally, and the simulator test (the known jappeace#235 flake) then runs out of clock at 45 minutes; two runs on this PR lost it to the cutoff.

Review finding: run 29334286560 passed (44m17s, on jappeace#243) and was miscited as a timeout casualty. The actual prior instance of the build-passes-simulator-test-cancelled fingerprint is run 29281533228 on jappeace#239, alongside this PR's run 29344658446 and the historical mid-compile timeout 9dcf105.

watchos died in 44 seconds on 'opening lock file /nix/var/nix/db/big-lock: Permission denied'; the same tree passed watchos twice earlier today. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Follow-up to #243: during that migration, a
TextConfigconstruction missing the newtcTextColorfield compiled with only the default-on-Wmissing-fieldswarning, was overlooked in the build output, and crashed at runtime inside the test suite (inerrorWidget, of all places). A missing record field is always a latent runtime crash (Missing field in record construction), so this promotes the overlookable warning to an unmissable error via-Werror=missing-fieldsincommon-options.The codebase is currently clean of such sites (full build and suite green with the flag on), so the change costs nothing today and blocks the whole class tomorrow.
