Every running clock can now identify exactly which CareTV build it is using, and every clock contains a discreet touchable path back to CareTV.org.
The caregiver controls now show:
Version 2026-08-17-v006
The same build ID is also embedded in machine-readable form in the page:
<meta name="caretv-version" content="2026-08-17-v006">window.CARETV_CLOCK_VERSIONdocument.documentElement.dataset.caretvVersionThis makes it possible to identify a deployed clock visually through the caregiver panel or programmatically during support/testing.
A small low-contrast CareTV.org link now sits at the lower-left of the clock. It is intentionally unobtrusive so the orientation display remains visually simple for a person with memory impairment, while a caregiver can still touch it to reach:
The link is a normal HTML anchor and therefore requires no special application logic.
The normal display still emphasizes only daypart, time, weekday, and date. Version details remain inside the caregiver panel rather than adding another prominent label to the resident's primary view.
The CareTV.org link is deliberately low contrast and small, but remains touchable.
The service-worker cache identifier changes from caretv-dementia-clock-v005 to caretv-dementia-clock-v006. This is important because an installed or previously visited clock may otherwise continue serving older cached files.
This is a new version, not an overwrite.
