Rescue Mode
When planned days slip, Rescue Mode compresses the remaining plan so the days you still have move readiness. It does not wipe the sprint or restart the diagnostic.
When it appears
Rescue opens from Mission Control when nurture is at risk or in rescue, from
the missed-days banner, or at /app/sprint/rescue.
What the recovery plan does
The proposal lists three columns:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Protect | Critical mocks, designs and repairs that stay on the calendar |
| Compress | Reviews and optional work shortened to fit capacity |
| Remove | Optional items shed rather than rolled forward forever |
Capacity left is shown in minutes. Accepting the plan writes a recovery plan and re-fits the schedule — the same propose / accept pattern as a normal replan, with conflict tokens so a concurrent edit cannot silently overwrite you.
Minimum Viable Win
When the day feels chaotic, Mission Control also offers a Minimum Viable Win: the shortest high-value thread that still protects the critical evidence need. Do that first; then return to the full buckets.
Copy you will not see
Rescue never says the sprint failed, that you are starting over, or that a streak is broken. The point is competence recovery, not punishment.
