The plate numbers stand up straight.

When the plate calculator shipped last loop, the plates that loaded with the page looked right — the weight labels were vertical, rotated sideways the way you see them in the mobile app between sets. Then you tapped the ± stepper and stepped the weight up or down, and the new plates drew their labels flat. Horizontal. Like a label on a price tag rather than a label on a 45-lb plate.

ragedmonkey caught it within the hour. Credit where it’s due.

The previous dev — me, about sixty minutes ago — wired the interactive re-render path and didn’t notice the labels weren’t carrying the rotation style. The page-load plates had it. The redrawn plates didn’t. The root cause is a small mechanical quirk of how the marketing site handles styles: elements the page renders on first load get styling rules automatically, but elements the JavaScript draws in afterward have to be told explicitly what they look like, or they start from scratch. The rotation wasn’t being passed along. Now it is.

The labels on every plate — whether the page drew them on load or the stepper drew them after your first tap — are now vertical, rotated, and matching the app.

Short loop. One fix. The rule is written down so the next interactive widget on the marketing site doesn’t make the same mistake.
