Session 57: Phase 0 — Kill the Lies (2309 tests)

Work-order Phase 0 (Jul 10 live audit): every fabricated UI element deleted
or rewired to real data. Deletion sprint — no new product features.

0.1 Fake NBA game: root cause was scheduleService fetching the ESPN
    scoreboard with no ?dates= param or date filter — off-season ESPN
    returns the NEAREST slate (Jun 13 NYK@SA Finals rendered as tonight).
    Now pinned to the requested ET date + defensive filter; undated events
    dropped. Honest month-aware per-sport empty states (lib/emptyState.js).
0.2 Fake header counters: liveTick stripped to a bare 1s pulse (the
    auto-incrementing "247 graded", sin-driven brain-%, aPlus/cascades are
    dead). New GET /api/snapshot/summary (cache-only, before /:sport) +
    Next proxy; HeartbeatBar shows the real graded count and SYNC =
    elapsed since the last pipeline run (amber past 5 min).
0.3 Ticker: hardcoded fallback items deleted (real snapshot exhaust only);
    MOVE kept — computeLineDeltas is real movement. <4 real items → no
    ticker; bar publishes --ticker-h so the fixed header collapses cleanly.
0.4 /terminal retired: route redirects to /dashboard; VVI/injury-wire/
    leaders layouts preserved unrouted as §12 content-engine templates.
    Nav PRIMARY = Slate/Scan/Ledger; BottomTabBar Terminal→Explore; PWA
    shortcut Terminal→Ledger; #terminal alias → /dashboard.
0.5 ›Query nav pill deleted (duplicate /scan link).

Backend 2289 → 2309 tests (199 suites), web build exit 0.
Spec: specs/phase-0-kill-the-lies.md. Next: work-order Phase 1 (ledger
persistence + settlement).

+# Phase 0 — Kill the Lies (Session 57)
+
+Source: VYNDR work order (Jul 10 2026 live audit × VYNDR-OVERHAUL-SPEC). Every
+task is a P0 credibility fix — deletion or rewiring of fake elements. No new
+product features.
+
+## 0.1 — Delete the fake NBA game
+
+**Root cause (found):** `scheduleService.fetchScheduleFromEspn` hits the ESPN
+scoreboard with NO `?dates=` param and NO date filter. In the off-season ESPN
+returns the *nearest* slate (the Jun 13 NYK@SA Finals game), which every
+consumer (dashboard legacy section, Slate merge, hasOdds flags) then renders as
+tonight's game.
+
+**Fix (backend, at the source):**
+- `fetchScheduleFromEspn(sport, date)` appends `?dates=YYYYMMDD` to the ESPN
+  scoreboard URL.
+- Normalized events are filtered to the requested ET date (`gameTime` converted
+  to America/New_York must equal `date`). Events with no parseable date are
+  dropped — live-feed-only, no exceptions.
+- `getSchedule` passes its `date` through.
+
+**Fix (frontend):** sport-specific empty-state copy on the dashboard when a
+sport has zero games (NBA off-season: "NBA returns in October. The model is
+watching the MLB + WNBA boards tonight.").
+
+**Acceptance:** `/api/schedule/nba?date=D` never returns an event whose ET date
+≠ D. Regression test uses the old NYK@SA fixture (event dated D+1) and asserts
+it is filtered out.
+
+## 0.2 — Delete the fake header counters
+
+- `lib/liveTick.js` state trimmed to `{ tick }` — the fake `graded: 247`
+  auto-increment, sin-driven `neural %`, and `aPlus/cascades` counters are
+  deleted. The tick remains solely as the 1s re-render pulse for the clock.
+- `HeartbeatBar` now fetches **real** data from a new endpoint
+  `GET /api/snapshot/summary` (public, cache-only Redis reads, registered
+  BEFORE `/:sport`): `{ graded, updated_at, sports: {nba,wnba,mlb,soccer} }`.
+  - graded = Σ grades in each `snapshot:{sport}:latest` (fallback
+    `grades:{sport}`). Real and small beats fake and big.
+  - "neural XX%" — deleted entirely, no replacement.
+  - SYNC = elapsed since `updated_at` (counts up; amber past 5 min). No
+    snapshot data → "SYNC —", no graded count invented.
+- Next proxy `web/src/app/api/snapshot/summary/route.ts` (S25 rule).
+
+**Acceptance:** header numbers change only when the snapshot changes; refresh
+does not reset them to 247/96%.
+
+## 0.3 — Ticker: real items only
+
+- The MOVE pipeline is already real (`computeLineDeltas`: locked line vs
+  current line keyed `nameKey|stat|side`) — kept.
+- Nav's hardcoded `TICKER_ITEMS` fallback (fake Wembanyama A+ / "NYK vs SA
+  Q3" / fake Tatum MOVE) — deleted. Ticker fallback is now an empty list.
+- Spec §3 rule: fewer than 4 real items → the ticker bar does not render.
+  The bar sets `--ticker-h` (32px/0px) on `<html>`; layout `main` paddingTop
+  and Slate sticky top become `calc(Xpx + var(--ticker-h))` so the header
+  collapses cleanly.
+
+## 0.4 — Pull /terminal from nav
+
+- Entire surface is fabricated (Finals-era sample data) → route now
+  `redirect('/dashboard')`.
+- Sample layouts preserved (unrouted) at
+  `web/src/components/intel/TerminalTemplates.tsx` for the §12 content engine.
+- Nav PRIMARY = Slate / Scan / Ledger. BottomTabBar: Terminal tab → Explore.
+  PWA manifest Terminal shortcut → Ledger. `routes.js`: `/terminal` out of
+  OPEN_ROUTES; `#terminal` alias → `/dashboard`.
+
+## 0.5 — Kill ›Query
+
+Duplicate link to /scan (`data-search-trigger`) deleted from Nav.
+
+## Test plan
+
+- Updated: scheduleRoute (date filter + regression), vyndrSystems (liveTick),
+  vyndrMobile (tabs/manifest), vyndrAppShell (routes/nav), vyndrCoreScreens
+  (terminal redirect), vyndrParityQA (tab list).
+- New: snapshot summary route integration test; schedule off-date filter test.
+- Full suite green before ship.
