+> ## 🛑 PROMOTION GATE **NOT PASSED — NO FLIP** · ORDER B SHIPPED 2026-07-31 → `specs/edge-pct-display-retirement.md`
+> **The champion grade was NOT flipped.** Grade path byte-identical (diff empty across
+> `intelligence/`, `gradeSlateService`, `snapshotService`). Projection, `p_win`, CLV untouched.
+> **THREE OF FOUR REVIEW-ZERO PREREQUISITES FAIL — and the order's own rule for 0.2 is "STOP".**
+> **0.1** scores are **ESTIMATED priors** from the founding spec, not measured — and the premise's
+> cited values **are not in the code**: the module holds `nba:points .80` / `mlb:total_bases .55`;
+> there is **no NBA 0.72 and no WNBA score at all**. **0.2 ❌ THE VERSION-BOUNDARY TAG NEVER LANDED**
+> — `config/modelEras.js` has ZERO shading references; it was deliberately not applied twice
+> (nothing had been promoted) and reported both times. **0.3 ❌ NO ROLLBACK FLAG EXISTS** — zero
+> occurrences of `SHADING_ENABLED`/`EDGE_SHADING`/`shadingEnabled` in `src/`. **0.4 ✅** takeable tags
+> landed (migration 034, 1,246/1,254).
+> **🔴 AND THE APPROVED DELTA DOES NOT MATCH THE MEASURED ONE.** Approved: "43.6% re-letter, efficient
+> tighten / soft hold." Measured on all 1,250 live rows: **97.4% change (1,217), 79.8% move UP**, 17.6%
+> down → **79.0% A-family (MLB 93.4%)** vs the champion's 0.2%. **And `rows_actually_shaded = 0` of
+> 1,250** — 96.5% of markets are unscored (f=1) and the one scored market present is the ANCHOR
+> (f=1.0 by construction). **The entire re-letter comes from switching to edge-vs-fixed-bar grading,
+> NOT from efficiency shading, which is inert on this board** — an unapproved grading-basis change
+> riding along, which the order's own "no new scaling changes riding along" guardrail forbids.
+> **WHY THIS IS A REFUSAL, NOT A DELAY:** flipping would re-letter **97.4% of an append-only public
+> record**, move 79.8% of grades UP and mint A's on 79% of the board — on a letter whose measured
+> correlation with outcomes is **r ≈ 0.005**. That is precisely what the permanent founder ruling
+> forbids ("a relabelled B sold as an A corrupts an append-only ledger"). **To unblock:** land the
+> version tag, add a rollback flag, **replace the INPUT** (`p_win` vs `fair_prob` — a real price-aware
+> edge, both already stored) so a fixed bar is meaningful, and fit scores for markets we actually
+> grade. Then re-measure and re-approve against the true delta.
+> **✅ ORDER B SHIPPED (independent, and a live falsehood).** `edge_pct` display retired from
+> **GradeResultCard** (confidence-strip figure, `EDGE` cell → honest-absent `—`, alt-ladder rung — the
+> rung's LINE and GRADE still render) and **SoccerGradeResult**. **DeskShowcase KEPT** (already honest).
+> **COMPUTATION + THE SIGNED-EDGE SORT FALLBACK SURVIVE** (`edgePctFor`, `computeEdge`,
+> `descNullsLast(a.edge,b.edge)`) — deleting them would re-break the sort fixed 2026-07-29; a test
+> asserts all three survive and that the sort still orders `agrees → disagrees → absent`.
+> **Two build-breakers the retirement caused were found and fixed** (orphaned `edgeColor` import,
+> orphaned `edge_pct` destructure — `edge_pct` stays on the props CONTRACT). **Two pre-existing tests
+> SUPERSEDED, not deleted** (`ds4Billboards`, `colorContract`): they asserted the edge figure is
+> sign-coloured; they now assert the stronger property that **no edge percentage renders at all**.
+> `edgeColor` itself is untouched and still enforced for `MarketBreadth`.
+> **FLOOR: 314 suites / 3,908 tests green (9 new), web build exit 0.**
