Edit a food item — “changes apply everywhere this item is used”, with history frozen.

Nutrient fields partial-merge into the per-serving nutrition (null clears); any nutrient or serving change sets source="user_edited" (clears the “estimated” badge). Propagation:

  • Template meal_items (the library’s saved meals) re-snapshot and their parent meals’ aggregates recompute — unless a parent meal is user-edited (_meta.source == "user").
  • Event-scoped meal_items (logged history) keep their frozen snapshots, EXCEPT the event named by refresh_event_id — the tray currently being edited — which re-snapshots so the user sees their correction take effect.

FoodItemUpdate

Partial edit of a food item (“changes apply everywhere this item is used”).

Identity fields (name/place/is_drink/serving_description) and per-serving nutrient values share one flat payload — the edit sheet saves them together. Nutrient semantics mirror the saved-meal nutrition PATCH: omitted = untouched, explicit null = clear. Any nutrient or serving change marks the item user_edited (clears the “estimated” badge and protects it from the AI job’s values winning a future dedup).
