thatguygriffandClaude Opus 5	7e2bba79fe	Collect a birth year instead of a full date of birth ... Signup and the profile page now ask for a four-digit year between 1900 and the current year. Anything else — a short year, a full date, a year in the future — is discarded rather than stored, so a typo cannot leave a nonsense age on the record. The year lives in a new us_birth_year user meta rather than reusing us_date_of_birth, which would have left one key holding two formats. The old key is not migrated in bulk. Instead GuardianService handles it in two halves: birthYear() falls back to the year of the old date when the new key is absent, so a student added before this change still shows one, and setBirthYear() deletes the old date on every save. That deletion is what makes the fallback safe rather than merely tidy. Without it, clearing the birth year on a student who predates the change would leave the old date behind for the fallback to read straight back, and the year could never be cleared at all. Stored in user meta, so no Schema.php change and no USC_VERSION bump. Closes #147 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>	2026-07-29 20:47:56 -03:00
