seems it should probably make a feeding time transition instead of shifing it overnight.

The problem is that it's a smart feeder, so it adjusted its internal clock with DST. A "dumb" feeder would've stayed at the same "physical" time because it also would have no concept of DST.

right, so for it to keep its clock accurate to the set times but not shock kitty with late dinner, have it feed 10 minutes earlier or later over the course of 6 days to transition.

I think it'd just be better for it to ignore DST honestly
