Can I turn hard mode on and off if I just want to use it to temporarily find nodes for streets that are between 90 and 100% complete?
Yeah, it can be toggled on & off.
Turning it on queues jobs to validate all your completed streets. This means that if you had any non-100% streets marked as complete, they would be marked incomplete. It does not unmark streets that were manually marked as completed (Hard Mode used to block manually completing streets).
Turning it off queues up a job to determine your completed streets. This means that if you had any 90%+ streets that weren’t marked as complete due to Hard Mode, those will be marked as complete.
This might make turning on/off Hard Mode a debugging tool, since it forces the system to recalculate progress … but … if people just do that, then I don’t get the opportunity to fix the underlying issue causing incorrect progress. 
Sometimes we just want shit fixed, though.
Would it be possible to make a “secret” private hard mode without any jobs running. The information is already available.
I’ve finished Albertslund Kommune, Region Hovedstaden - CityStrides but if i view each street manually i can still find the red nodes, without activating hard mode.
e.g. Albertslund Kommune, Region Hovedstaden - CityStrides
