D-04: Test a schedule pattern that supports different times on different days

[roobottom]

Summary

Explore an alternative session pattern that lets users set different opening times for different days within the same schedule.

Rationale

Round 1 research showed that some sites have shorter Saturday hours, and the current pattern risks confusion when exceptions apply to only part of the intended schedule.

Traceability

• Decision: D-04
• Source: docs/decisions/round-1.md
• Finding: Round 1, finding 5
• Related assumptions: A-07 daily session times are usually consistent
• Labels: decision, research, round-1

Implementation checklist

• Prototype the alternative schedule pattern for mixed weekly hours
• Ensure the new pattern can handle different times across weekdays without forcing separate schedules
• Review how exceptions interact with the revised schedule structure
• Capture trade-offs against the current repeating-session model
• Define the key questions to test in the next round
