A clock reading is not a reset rule
The older work checks found no new work entry at their recorded times. The later completed run found Go to work visible at 6:15 AM on the game clock.
These separated observations do not identify the exact unlock instant, a daily reset rule or an unlimited work schedule. The live available control is the immediate planning input.
Inspect once before making a plan
Check whether a shift is already running, then read Career and Jobs. A missing Next shift hint can be a recorded result rather than proof that you overlooked a button.
Interpret the current controls
An already checked Go automatically option was observed without an automatic start in the older window. A checked setting alone does not prove that work has begun.
| Visible item | What it can establish |
|---|---|
| Schedule label | The wording shown in that panel |
| Go to work enabled | A currently offered entrance |
| Shift started message | A start was confirmed |
| Already-worked message | An observed restriction, with reset cause still unknown |
Let the next check answer one missing question
If you return later and a legal entrance appears, record that new state. Do not retroactively treat the previous clock reading as the unlock time.
Sleeping, shopping and repeated wishes were not shown to remove the older restriction. Use them for their own purposes instead of calling them verified reset methods.
Does an early entrance contradict the schedule?
It shows that the entrance was available in one earlier window. It does not by itself reconcile every schedule label or measure the shift’s complete duration.
Is an unavailable check a failed promotion? No shift or settlement happened in that window, so it cannot establish a promotion outcome.
Sources & dates
Check what each source records. A menu label and a completed playtest are different kinds of evidence.
