Bottom of my calves felt a bit tight around half way today. Is that a not-sufficiently-hydrated sign?

Could be. Or it could be that they weren't quite warmed up enough, or simply still a little heavy from the last run.
So long as there is no pain, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Maybe a little massage, good rest and and see you feel next time

Proof you are working those muscles. Well done. Quick stretch out and hopefully they will be fine. Happy running

Well done.
Stretching immediately after every run, nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/h... while muscles are still warm and supple, pulls out contractions, avoiding carrying tensions into the next run and also improves recovery by improving blood flow.
