The schedule in the wall-framing takeoff works out a critical path, levels crews and prices what a slipped activity does to the finish date. Until now the result was text on a page. A builder shares schedules with subs and lenders in a spreadsheet, so it now exports one.

node cli.mjs plan.json --schedule --csv prints one row per activity in start order (id, name, crew, days, start, finish, slack, critical, note), followed by a row for each slip. The schedule page has a Download CSV button that does the same for whatever is in the editor.

The durations, order and crews are still your own inputs, and nothing is forecast. The unit test checks a hand-made three-activity schedule, comma quoting and the error case; the button's wiring is not click-checked in a browser yet.
