Wave 2 Findings

Date: 2026-03-12

Scope:

Changes applied to source data:

Removed low_light from Saintpaulia ionantha (Afrikanisches Veilchen)
Removed low_light from Clivia miniata (Riemenblatt)
Removed sun from Helleborus orientalis (Lenzrose) by overriding the default flower categories to ['flowering']

Evidence basis used:

Saintpaulia ionantha: bright indirect light guidance, not a true low-light placement
Clivia miniata: bright indirect / filtered light guidance, not a dark-corner low-light placement
Helleborus orientalis: part-shade / shade-oriented placement, so sun was too broad

Deliberately not changed in this wave:

Haworthia fasciata and Gasteria carinata in low_light, because they are borderline tolerance cases and need a tighter horticultural pass before retagging
Wasabi in bright_light, because the current label can still be read as bright indirect rather than direct sun
Hydrangea macrophylla in bright_light, because the existing tag remains plausible for bright, non-scorching conditions
broad sun garden inventories that are locally consistent and would need species-by-species horticultural review rather than heuristic edits

Operational note:

These source changes do not update the persisted backend catalog automatically.
Production still needs a catalog rebuild via server/scripts/rebuild-from-batches.js and a deploy.
