This is what the rest of the work was for. The app asks for the store that was built for this cycle, expands it into a new generation, and switches to it — so the minutes it spent inserting a decoded property list into SwiftData become a transfer and a decompression. Cycles are asked for by name and walked backwards, one at a time. A manifest states the window it is effective for, which a mutable "latest" pointer could not, and a cycle whose publish failed therefore costs the pilot the previous cycle's data rather than four weeks with no update at all. The published schema fingerprint is checked before anything is downloaded, let alone opened. SwiftData answers a near-miss by migrating the store rather than refusing it, so a build that opened first would get a silent, slow migration where a clean fall back to importing was wanted. The download is checked against the digest its manifest published, and the expanded store still has to open and hold airports before anything switches to it. The OurAirports processing date comes across in the manifest, so About reports it whichever path installed the data. Nothing in the store file records when its non-FAA airports were gathered, and a store that arrived prebuilt would otherwise report none. The consent screen no longer claims the wait is a few minutes. It is seconds when the prepared store is there, and only the property-list fallback behind it still takes minutes. Every step may fail and none of them is fatal: a cycle nobody published, a store built for a different schema, a truncated transfer — each falls back to importing the property list, which is still published and still works. That is what keeps this an optimization rather than a dependency, and it is why the import path was kept rather than replaced.

This is what the rest of the work was for. The app asks for the store
that was built for this cycle, expands it into a new generation, and
switches to it — so the minutes it spent inserting a decoded property
list into SwiftData become a transfer and a decompression.
Cycles are asked for by name and walked backwards, one at a time. A
manifest states the window it is effective for, which a mutable "latest"
pointer could not, and a cycle whose publish failed therefore costs the
pilot the previous cycle's data rather than four weeks with no update at
all.
The published schema fingerprint is checked before anything is
downloaded, let alone opened. SwiftData answers a near-miss by migrating
the store rather than refusing it, so a build that opened first would get
a silent, slow migration where a clean fall back to importing was wanted.

Every step may fail and none of them is fatal: a cycle nobody published,
a store built for a different schema, a truncated transfer — each falls
back to importing the property list, which is still published and still
works. That is what keeps this an optimization rather than a dependency,
and it is why the import path was kept rather than replaced.
