+/**
+ * MLB matchup context helpers (Session 15).
+ *
+ * Two pure functions, no I/O, no state:
+ *   - platoonAdvantage(pitcherHand, batterHand)
+ *   - projectedPA(lineupPosition)
+ *
+ * Sources:
+ *   - Platoon splits: the standard MLB convention — opposite-handed
+ *     matchups favor the batter (LHP vs RHB, RHP vs LHB). Switch
+ *     hitters get the advantage in either matchup because they bat
+ *     opposite-handed by definition.
+ *   - Lineup → projected plate appearances: derived from MLB-average
+ *     team PA distributions per lineup slot (2024 league composite).
+ *     A leadoff hitter sees ~4.7 PA in a 9-inning game; the 9-hole
+ *     sees ~3.5. Numbers from baseball-reference team batting tables
+ *     averaged across all 30 teams.
+ *
+ * Callers (computeFeatures MLB branch) attach the outputs to the
+ * feature vector as `platoon_advantage` (bool|null) and
+ * `projected_pa` (number|null). When inputs are absent or invalid
+ * the helpers return null — engine1 treats null as a neutral signal
+ * and reasoning omits the line gracefully.
