Root cause: stale IDB records from prior deploys persisted indefinitely.
Fast path returned 0 (account_id mismatch), API errored silently, and the
error state showed the same message as a genuinely empty result — making
the failure indistinguishable from real data.
Fix is layered defense:
- Bump IDB_CONTENT_VERSIONS.events.event to 2 (one-time force-clear for all users)
- Add check_and_clear_idb_table() helper to store_versions.ts; wire it in
(idaa)/+layout.svelte to catch future version mismatches on session start
- One silent auto-retry (3s) on API failure before surfacing error UI
- Distinct error state (Unable to load meetings) separate from empty state
- Escape-hatch cache-reset button after 8s when zero results + no active filters
- Document root cause and fix in README.md and BOOTSTRAP__AI_Agent_Quickstart.md
