-fix: show membership date for stores without pickups
+fix: refresh invalid last pickup timestamps
 
-Treat Foodsharing's zero lastFetch value as no pickup, store memberSince, and
-show compact, visible mobile status information without hover tooltips.
+Force an immediate member refresh for legacy epoch timestamps so they are
+replaced by the correct no-pickup status without waiting for the weekly check.
