 ### Sunrise/Sunset Algorithm
-- Implement a simplified solar position algorithm based on the NOAA Sunrise/Sunset and Solar Equinoxes/Solstices algorithm
-- No external APIs or third-party dependencies
-- Algorithm inputs: latitude, longitude, date
-- Algorithm output: sunrise time, sunset time (in local timezone)
-- Cache results in AppGroup container to avoid recalculation on each app launch
+- Implement a simplified solar position algorithm based on the NOAA algorithm (https://github.com/NOAA-OWP/sunpy)
+- No external APIs; algorithm is self-contained
+- **Algorithm Reference:** NOAA Solar Position Algorithm
+  - Calculate solar declination using Spencer's formula
+  - Calculate equation of time for date
+  - Calculate hour angle at sunrise/sunset
+  - Convert to local solar time then UTC
+- **Inputs:** latitude (Double), longitude (Double), date (Date in user's timezone)
+- **Outputs:** sunrise (Date), sunset (Date) in local timezone
+- **Cache:** Store in AppGroup container; recalculate daily or when location changes
+- **Accuracy:** Results valid to ±2 minutes

 ### Offline Functionality
-- **First Launch:** Location permission is requested. If granted, app calculates and caches sunrise/sunset. If denied, app uses Greenwich (0°, 0°) and displays all features with default location times.
-- **Subsequent Use:** App and widget work entirely offline; all solstice dates and countdown calculations are local
-- **Sunrise/Sunset:** Cached and recalculated daily or when location changes. If unavailable (permission denied), widget displays countdown only
+- **First Launch:**
+  - App requests location permission
+  - If granted: Fetch location and calculate sunrise/sunset for that location, cache in AppGroup container
+  - If denied: Use default location (Greenwich, 0°/0°) and cache as `isDefaultLocation: true`
+  - All subsequent uses work offline
+- **Subsequent Use:**
+  - App and widget work entirely offline; solstice dates and countdown calculations are all local
+  - Sunrise/sunset times use cached values from AppGroup container
+- **State Recovery on Permission Changes:**
+  - If app is running when user changes location permission in Settings, recalculate sunrise/sunset on next app foreground event
+  - If AppGroup container is missing or corrupted on launch, fall back to Greenwich location and log error
+- **Widget Behavior When Location Unavailable:**
+  - Widget always displays countdown (never fails)
+  - Sunrise/sunset times display as "—" if location permission denied and no cached data exists
