The secondary admissions section words the absence of a cut-off distance:
"<LA> has not published a cut-off distance for this school." That sentence
is true when the authority publishes nothing. It is false when the
authority does publish and the admission_distance flag is simply off — and
off is the current state, so every secondary page with an EES admissions
row has been making a claim about a council on our behalf.
The backend already draws the distinction the copy needs. /api/schools/{urn}
omits the admission_distance key entirely while the flag is dark rather than
sending null, precisely so that "we are not publishing cut-offs" stays
distinguishable from "this school has no cut-off"; lib/types.ts says so in
as many words. The page then collapsed the two with `?? null` before the
section ever saw them.
So stop collapsing it: thread the raw field to SecondarySchoolSections and
word the absence only when the feature is on. Null still gets the sentence
naming the authority — that case is unchanged and still tested.
Primary pages are unaffected: AdmissionsSection carries no absence copy and
renders nothing when there is no figure. DistanceSection already treated
absent and null alike; only its type widens.

fix(e2e): scope the Distance-tab assertion, and separate the tile figures

The failing journey was wrong; the page was correct.
Locator: getByRole('button', { name: 'Distance' })
Expected: 0 Received: 1
getByRole matches accessible names by case-insensitive SUBSTRING, so
{ name: 'Distance' } matched <button>Show this distance on a map</button> —
the map toggle added by the same feature. The assertion was meant to say "no
Distance tab in the admissions segmented control" and instead said "no button
anywhere whose label contains the word distance".
Now scoped to the control it is about, via its own aria-label, and read
positively: the tab list must contain "This year" and must not contain
"Distance". An absence check against an unscoped locator passes for the wrong
reason the moment the selector stops matching, which is exactly how the
regression this test guards would return unnoticed.
Two sibling locators had the same weakness and are tightened: 'Check' is a
prefix of the button's own busy label "Checking…", and the figure matcher
accepted `(miles|m)` — a leftover from the mixed-unit era that would have kept
passing if the headline regressed to metres, which is the thing #105 just
fixed.
Tightening that matcher surfaced a real defect behind it. The cut-off figure
and its metric support are flex children with the gap drawn by CSS and nothing
between them in the text layer, so the element read "0.88 miles1.4 km" —
what a screen reader announces, and why a `miles\b` boundary could never
match. Both templates now carry an explicit space. Whitespace text nodes are
not rendered as flex items, so the reading changes and the layout does not.
Verified against staging: 54/54.

Earlier years are to become a paid feature, so they stop being published.
The load-bearing part is that this is a change to the API, not only to the
page. /api/schools/{urn} is public and unauthenticated: leaving
admission_distance_history in the payload while declining to render it would
have handed the whole record to anyone who opened the network tab. It is
withheld at the source, and the page follows.
Nothing changes upstream. The tap, the plausibility band and
fact_admission_distance are untouched and still load every published year, so
restoring history for entitled callers is a change to one function in
data_loader rather than a re-collection.
What the reader now gets is the latest figure on the Admissions tile, and a
Distance section that answers the question the number alone cannot: whether
their own address falls inside it. Retitled to "How far away are you?", which
is what it now does — the previous title described a record that is no longer
there.
Removed with the history: the trend chart, the year-by-year table, the
per-year verdict strip, the trend summary and the coverage note, along with
their CSS. The section goes from 743px to 417px.
One consequence worth naming. A run of years used to soften a single close
call — a home just outside one year's cut-off was usually inside another. With
one year published, the "too close to call" band is the entire safety margin
between a parent and a place they do not have, so the verdict now names its
year, and the three outcomes are tinted apart rather than distinguished by
wording alone.
The existing stylesheet test earned its keep here: the three verdict classes
were referenced before they were written, and it caught them. Unstyled, a
"beyond the cut-off" result would have been indistinguishable from an "inside"
one — the exact failure the longhand class map was written to prevent.

The admissions card measured 1503px on a live school page — half the height of every section put together, and nearly three times the next largest — with its default view rendering as four tiles adrift in about 1080px of blank card. The cause was a layout trick meeting content it was never sized for. The admissions views are stacked in one grid cell so switching them never shifts layout, and the hidden ones keep their box: only visibility is dropped. That works while the views are comparable. The distance view added in #102 carries a chart, a table and a map, came to 1402px against the tile grid's 316px, and pinned every other view to its height — including the one that renders by default, which nobody had clicked. Rather than only unpinning it, the detail moves out. Every other topic on the page is a section with a nav entry, and "how close did we need to live, and would we have got in?" is a topic, not a variant reading of the intake figures. The headline number stays on the Admissions tile where the intake story is; the record behind it now lives in a Distance section directly below. admissions 1503px -> 554px distance new -> 743px (median section on the page is ~528px) Three further changes, each of which also makes the content better rather than only shorter: * The map renders on request. Before a postcode is entered it is a circle drawn round a school, and it costs a Leaflet bundle and 240px to say so; a successful check opens it automatically, which is the point at which it starts answering something. Map height 320px -> 240px. * The chart appears only at the four published years that let the summary state a direction. Below that we already refuse to call the series a trend, and a line through three points asserts one regardless of what the sentence beneath it admits. The table carries those years anyway, with the reasons a line cannot show. * Three caveat paragraphs become one. They said walking-route twice and made the same point about priorities in two voices. It now sits in CutoffDistanceDetail rather than inside the check, so it still renders for a school with coordinates missing, where there is a table but no map and no check. The new e2e guard asserts no section exceeds 2.5x the median section height. Measuring the card's internals cannot catch this: the tile grid is flex: 1, so it absorbs the stretch and every box still looks full. The first version of this test targeted an arbitrary primary, passed against the live bug, and proved nothing; pointed at a school that actually holds cut-off history it fails on staging with "#admissions is 1459px against a 526px median".

Completes the last-distance-offered feature against the mockup: the year-by-year record, the same numbers drawn over real streets, and the reader's own address measured against them. Serving the history The first cut deliberately served only the latest year, because a plain series would draw a trend line straight through gaps that are absences of publication, not of a cut-off. That reasoning is answered rather than abandoned: cutoffYearRows classifies every year in the span, and the chart breaks the line rather than interpolating across it. A missing year is not one fact but three. It may be unpublished; it may be a year the school was not oversubscribed; or there may be no record at all. Collapsing them into "no data" throws away the reassuring case and hides the important caveat, so each is stated in words in the table. The claim is held to what the data supports. fact_admissions.oversubscribed compares FIRST PREFERENCES against places, which does not establish that every applicant was offered one — so the copy says "places available on first preferences" and a test asserts the stronger claim never appears. The trend summary is not a verdict It names both endpoints and their years and lets the reader conclude. It is withheld below four published points, and a swing under a tenth of the earlier figure is reported as "broadly the same" rather than dressed up as a direction. The postcode check This is the only place on the site that answers a question about a family rather than a school, so most of the care went into what it refuses to say. postcodes.io returns a centroid covering roughly fifteen addresses, which against a 500 m cut-off is a fifth of the whole distance — so a margin inside 100 m returns "too close to call" rather than a place a family does not have. Unpublished years count as unknown, never as a pass. The limits are stated before the check is used, not revealed with the answer. The postcode is geocoded in the browser and never stored. Both templates Banded and selective secondaries are exactly where this matters most, so the detail is shared. The primary page gives it a third tab; the secondary page is one flat panel by design and renders it inline. Absence is explained rather than reported. A selective school's missing figure is explained by how it admits; a consistently undersubscribed school reads as good news. Also makes the batch loader's test double honour ORDER BY. It was a no-op, so "latest row per URN" was really "first row in the fixture" and the test would have passed with the sort reversed or removed. Verified: 214 frontend tests, 54 backend, 45/53 e2e green against staging (the 8 cut-off journeys skip until the DAG runs). Rendered offline against the real compiled CSS in both themes and at 390px; every new surface clears WCAG AA, measured on composited pixels.

feat(admissions): show the last distance offered where councils publish it

Adds the cut-off distance a parent actually asks about — "how close do we
need to live?" — end to end: a Singer tap, dbt staging and mart models, an
Airflow DAG, and a tile on both detail templates. 3,597 schools across 57
local authorities carry a figure; the rest are unchanged.
There is no national source for this. Each LA publishes its own cut-offs in
its own format, and the collected CSV is transcribed from PDFs, spreadsheets
and web pages — so most of the work here is deciding what is safe to show.
Data
* tap-uk-school-distance loads the CSV verbatim into raw. Keyed on
(urn, year, school_name), because school_name carries the admission
route: (urn, year) alone collides on 118 keys and a reload would have
silently dropped every band but one.
* stg_school_distance applies a 25 m – 25 km plausibility band. The source
contains 0.0-mile rows (published where a school filled on a higher
criterion), 1-metre cut-offs, and one reading 533 miles — ~4% of rows,
all of which would put a visibly wrong number on a live page.
* fact_admission_distance collapses routes to one row per school per year
using the furthest, and keeps route_count so the page can say the figure
is the widest of several bands rather than the one for a given child.
Serving
* Kept out of fact_admissions: that mart is EES-derived and near-complete
for England, this one covers 57 LAs, and the two refresh independently.
* Latest year only. Coverage is ragged — a school may have 2021 and 2026
and nothing between — so a history array would invite a trend line drawn
through gaps that are absences of publication, not of a cut-off.
* The Admissions section now renders on either source. 3% of the schools
that render have a cut-off and no EES admissions row, and gating on
admissions alone would have hidden the figure on those pages.
Interface
* The year travels with the figure everywhere it appears; a cut-off
detached from its admissions round is not a fact about anything.
* "Not a fixed catchment — it moves every year" sits under every instance,
because that is the inference a parent will otherwise draw.
* Replaces a hardcoded "Historical distance cut-off data is not available
for this school" that appeared on every secondary page, including the
ones whose council does publish it. The absence is now stated only when
it is real, and names the authority that would hold it.
The tint costs the muted tokens their AA margin: measured on the composited
backdrop (not the computed one, which reports the untinted card), --text-muted
falls to 4.09:1 in dark theme. The tile uses --text-secondary instead — 6.50:1
dark, 6.60:1 light.
The DAG is manual, like the other annual ones: councils publish on allocation
day, each on its own timetable, so there is no date worth scheduling against.
