# MSG-2026-04-13-calibrate-dropdown-not-rendering

**From:** Chronicler #85  
**Date:** 2026-04-13  
**Priority:** HIGH — Identify Version button does nothing (no console errors)  
**Status:** OPEN

## Problem

The `pending_calibration` render block does an early return with its own div.
When the user clicks "Identify Version", `openCalibrate()` fires, sets
`showCalibrate = true` and loads releases — but the main render path that
includes `{showCalibrate && renderCalibrateDropdown()}` never runs because
the early return already exited.

The dropdown is orphaned — state is set but nothing renders it.

## Current (broken)
```tsx
if (data?.pending_calibration) {
    return (
        <div>
            ...
            <button onClick={openCalibrate}>Identify Version</button>
            // ← showCalibrate and renderCalibrateDropdown() never appear here
        </div>
    );
}
// This code never runs for pending_calibration servers:
{showCalibrate && renderCalibrateDropdown()}
```

## Fix

Include the dropdown inside the pending_calibration block:

```tsx
if (data?.pending_calibration) {
    return (
        <div className={classNames(
            'rounded shadow-lg bg-gray-600',
            'col-span-3 md:col-span-2 lg:col-span-6',
            'px-3 py-2 md:p-3 lg:p-4 mt-2'
        )}>
            <div className={'flex items-center justify-between'}>
                <div className={'flex items-center'}>
                    <FontAwesomeIcon icon={faCube} className={'w-4 h-4 mr-2 text-gray-400'} />
                    <span className={'text-gray-400 text-sm'}>
                        {data.modpack_name || 'Modpack'} — Version unknown
                    </span>
                </div>
                <button onClick={openCalibrate}
                    className={'text-xs px-3 py-1 bg-cyan-600 hover:bg-cyan-500 text-white rounded transition-colors'}>
                    Identify Version
                </button>
            </div>
            {showCalibrate && renderCalibrateDropdown()}
        </div>
    );
}
```
