Name the Data Graph moving-average settings for what they do

[mairas]

The Data Graph Display tab had two labels that did not describe their effect.

Display Moving Average never said how far back it averaged. The span is a quarter of the graph window at that window's own sampling cadence — 2.5 min on a 10-minute graph, 15 s on Last Minute — and nothing in the UI said so. It is now Show Smoothed Trend with a hint carrying the real span, recomputed as the time scale and duration change.

Track Against Moving Average did two things its name covered neither of: it swaps which series is the bold line and which is the shaded band, and it switches the widget's big reading from the live value to the average. It is now a Main Series choice between Live Value and Smoothed Trend, with a hint saying what follows the choice. The persisted trackAgainstAverage boolean is untouched, so stored dashboards load exactly as before and no migration is needed.

Two cards in the same tab were both titled "Series". They merge into one, with the min/average/max annotations grouped under Reference Lines. Show Average Line becomes Show Window Average Line, because it is the mean over the whole visible window — a different average from the rolling one, and the third thing in this tab that read as the same feature.

describeSmoothingWindow in graph-window.util.ts derives the span from deriveDataSourceInfo, so the hint tracks the real smoothing period rather than restating the 25 % constant.

Verified: six new specs (span wording across time scales, the hint following a duration edit, one Series card holding both the toggles and the reference lines, the Main Series options), the existing enable/disable specs unchanged, and the whole npm run ci gate — lint, snc, 2113 tests, MCP schema. Also rendered the panel from a production build against the mock Signal K server to check the merged card.

VERSION goes to 1.5.0: the open cycle was patch-level and this is a user-visible behavior change.

Closes #598

Leaves #599 (the dead datasetAverageArray and showDatasetAngleAverageValueLine fields, found while working here) for a separate change.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The graph display options now describe the smoothing window, provide Live Value and Smoothed Trend choices, and combine series reference-line controls. The smoothing duration follows the configured time scale and period. Project versions change to 1.5.0.

Changes

Graph display smoothing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Smoothing window formatter src/app/core/utils/graph-window.util.ts, src/app/core/utils/graph-window.util.spec.ts	Adds describeSmoothingWindow, which formats the smoothing span in readable units and handles short or empty windows.
Smoothing controls and reference lines src/app/widget-config/graph-display-options/*, src/app/widget-config/root-modal-widget-config/root-modal-widget-config.component.html	Passes time-scale and period controls into the display-options component. The component refreshes the smoothing hint reactively. The template replaces the moving-average checkbox, adds series choices, and merges reference-line controls into one Series card. Tests cover the updated behavior.

Release version metadata

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Project version update .bumpversion.cfg, VERSION, package.json	Updates the project version from 1.4.1 to 1.5.0.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7e36c

Saved dashboards may unexpectedly switch to the smoothed trend as the main series when smoothing is enabled, changing the prominent graph line and headline reading. Merge should wait for this bounded behavior issue to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Review triage — both findings valid, both fixed here

Remove the fixed fraction statement — confirmed. The 100 ms sample floor plus the integer floor on maxDataPoints * 0.25 puts the span under a quarter for small windows: a 1 s window samples at 100 ms, keeps 10 points, and averages 2 of them — 200 ms, a fifth. The fraction is exact whenever the buffer size is a multiple of four, which covers every minute-and-longer window, and drifts low on short seconds-scale windows. Fix: say "about a quarter of the graph window" rather than dropping the fraction, so the caption still tells the reader the span scales with the window.

Reset the main-series value when smoothing is off — confirmed, and pre-existing: the old checkbox rendered the same stored state as checked-and-disabled. Fix: ngOnInit sets trackAgainstAverage to false before disabling it, matching what the toggle handler already does, plus a spec for the stored pair.

Related defect, filed separately

showAverageData = false with trackAgainstAverage = true also misrenders the widget itself, which is why the second finding matters beyond the dialog: applyTitleAndAnnotationValues reads the smoothed value into the widget's big number with no smoothed series on screen, and createDatasets drops the Value line's border and fills it as a band, so the graph shows a shaded area and no line at all. Guarding it properly means threading showAverageData through ~10 call sites in widget-data-graph, which is widget rendering rather than this PR's settings panel — filed as #601.

Both findings fixed in 7e36c03

• Fixed fraction statement — graph-display-options.component.html:45 now reads "about a quarter of the graph window". The span is exactly a quarter whenever the buffer size is a multiple of four (every minute-scale window and longer) and drifts low on short seconds-scale windows, bottoming out at a fifth for a 1 s window.
• Main-series value not reset — graph-display-options.component.ts:57-62 sets trackAgainstAverage to false before disabling it, matching the toggle handler. Spec at graph-display-options.component.spec.ts:74-86 covers the stored showAverageData=false + trackAgainstAverage=true pair; it failed against the previous commit.

Verification: npm run ci green — lint, snc, 179 files / 2114 tests, 34 MCP-schema tests.

Surfaced while verifying finding 2 and filed rather than fixed here: #601, the widget-side misrender for the same stored pair.
