+## [1.5.2] - 2026-05-27
+- Document BLANK-guard convention for Airtable formulas — Airtable surfaces #ERROR! / #NaN! when arithmetic, date, or string operations touch a blank field and propagates the error through every downstream formula; add a quick-rule bullet calling out the failure modes (multiply/divide-by-blank, DATEADD on blank date), show the IF({field}, <expr>, BLANK()) and AND()-guarded shapes, note why explicit guards beat catch-all IFERROR (don't mask typos), and re-render the common-patterns block with guards applied to the date examples; bump to 1.5.2
+
 ## [1.5.1] - 2026-05-21
 - Expand the "formulas in create/update" anti-pattern to cover every read-only field type (rollup / aiText / lookup / createdTime / lastModifiedTime / autoNumber, not just formulas), document the silent all-or-nothing parser failure (Actions tab empty, enabled stays false, every other writable field in the same q.select is lost), cite the verified 2026-05-22 wig-details-page.jsx case (Wig Tag ID formula + Total client/worker rollups + Instrucciones aiText all shared with useRecordUpdate), and point at the bisection diagnostic; bump to 1.5.1

 For formula fields inside Airtable itself (NOT scripts). Quick rules:
 
 - **NEVER add comments inside Airtable formulas.** Airtable's formula engine doesn't have a comment syntax — anything that looks like a comment will fail to compile.
+- **Guard against blank inputs by default.** Airtable surfaces `#ERROR!` (or `#NaN!` for divide-by-blank) when arithmetic, date, or many string operations touch a blank field — `{A} * {B}` errors when either is blank, `{A} / {B}` errors when `{B}` is blank, `DATEADD({Start At}, 20, 'minutes')` errors when `{Start At}` is blank, and one upstream `#ERROR!` propagates through every downstream formula that references it. Wrap any formula whose inputs could be empty with an `IF()` guard returning `BLANK()` in the empty branch. Prefer explicit `IF()` / `AND()` guards over a catch-all `IFERROR(<expr>, BLANK())` — explicit guards keep intent readable and don't mask unrelated bugs (a typo'd field name silently returns blank instead of failing loudly). Reach for `IFERROR()` only when inputs come from genuinely uncontrolled sources.

 - Reference fields by name with curly braces: `{Field Name}` (single field) or `{Other Table}` is not valid — formulas are scoped to the current table only.
 - Functions are case-insensitive (`IF` = `if`) but field names ARE case-sensitive.
 - Use `&` for concatenation, NOT `+` (the latter is numeric).
 - For conditional logic, prefer `IF()` nested or `SWITCH()` for many branches.
