The play streak resets even though the player did not skip a day

Streaks feel great until one is lost unfairly: the player simply has not played yet today, or missed a single day and had a protection item. Here is the counting rule that treats today as still open and spends protection days only where they actually save the streak.

Why this works

A streak is a promise to reward showing up, so it should only break when the player truly had the chance and missed it. Today is still open until it ends, and a protection day counts only where it actually saves a run that would otherwise end.

When not to use it

Skip it when you do not want to pressure people into daily play, as in a calm or family game, or for players who may be unwell or away. Reward total play or a weekly goal instead, which forgives gaps without punishing anyone.
