THE PROMOTION WAS NOT PERFORMED. Champion grade path byte-identical (diff empty
across intelligence/, gradeSlateService, snapshotService). Projection, p_win and
the CLV instrument untouched.
REVIEW ZERO IS A GATE AND THREE OF FOUR PREREQUISITES FAIL:
0.1 scores are ESTIMATED priors from the founding spec, not measured. The
premise's cited values are not in the code either — the module holds
nba:points .80 and mlb:total_bases .55; there is no NBA 0.72 and no WNBA
score at all.
0.2 VERSION-BOUNDARY TAG DID NOT LAND — config/modelEras.js has zero shading
references. It was deliberately not applied twice (nothing had been
promoted) and reported both times. The order's own rule says STOP.
0.3 NO ROLLBACK FLAG EXISTS — zero occurrences of SHADING_ENABLED /
EDGE_SHADING / shadingEnabled anywhere in src/.
0.4 takeable tags DID land (migration 034, 1246/1254 rows). PASS.
AND THE APPROVED DELTA DOES NOT MATCH THE MEASURED ONE. Approved: 43.6% of
grades re-letter, efficient markets tighten and soft hold. Measured on all 1250
live rows: 97.4% change (1217), 79.8% move UP, 17.6% down, resulting in 79.0%
A-family (MLB 93.4%) against the champion's 0.2%. And rows_actually_shaded = 0
of 1250 — 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. That is an unapproved grading-basis change riding along, which the
order's own "no new scaling changes riding along" guardrail forbids.
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 — the exact scenario the permanent
founder ruling forbids.
SHIPPED — ORDER B (independent of the promotion, and a live falsehood):
edge_pct display retired from GradeResultCard (confidence strip, EDGE stat cell
now honest-absent, alt-ladder rung) and SoccerGradeResult. DeskShowcase kept
(already honest). Computation and the board's signed-edge sort fallback SURVIVE
— deleting them would re-break the sort fixed on 2026-07-29; a test asserts all
three survive and the sort still orders agrees -> disagrees -> absent.
Fixed two build-breakers the retirement caused (orphaned edgeColor import,
orphaned edge_pct destructure; edge_pct stays on the props contract). Two
pre-existing tests superseded rather than deleted: they asserted the edge figure
is sign-coloured, and now assert the stronger property that no edge percentage
renders at all.
Floor: 314 suites / 3908 tests green (9 new), web build exit 0.

The landing hero was a static Jokic "Example" card with a name-length pick and a
hardcoded A- 73% +6.2% fallback. Now it's deterministic and live:
- heroPropService.pickHeroProp reads the pre-graded snapshot and selects the
prop with the LARGEST |projection - line| gap among A/B grades (conviction,
not noise) — the read where VYNDR disagrees most with the market, the card
that makes a stranger argue. No curation, no grading (reads cache → no API
credits). GET /api/hero-prop (backend) + repointed Next proxy.
- The card shows the disagreement EXPLICITLY: the book's line vs VYNDR's model,
side by side (model in green), with the real grade timestamp ("Graded 2:14
PM"). The EXAMPLE chip is gone.
- Empty slate → the MOST RECENT real graded read (flagged "LATEST READ", real
date). Nothing cached → { available:false } and the card HIDES. No
hand-written fallback — the Jokic card is deleted. Survives a dead night: a
live rule shows tonight's real MLB read, never a phantom July NBA card.
7 service tests lock the rule (max-gap, A/B gate, projection/line required,
empty→recent, hidden, cross-sport). colorContract updated to the new
disagreement display. Change-affected suites green, web build exit 0.

Signal-green #00D4A0 now means exactly ONE thing (edge/active/A-tier/CTA),
locked by tests that fail on violation. Part 1 of DESIGN-SPEC v2.
- web/src/lib/colorContract.js — pure CommonJS helpers: edgeColor(value)
colors edge/CLV/delta by SIGN (neg=var(--miss), pos=var(--g-a), 0=neutral);
gradeTierColor() (A/A+ green, B blue, C amber, D/F red, in lockstep with
vyndrTokens.gradeColor); gradeGlows() (A/A+ only); deltaE()/isSignalGreen()
CIE76 gate so no archetype hue dilutes the signal.
- GradeResultCard: edge confidence-strip + EDGE row route through edgeColor
(a -33.3% edge was rendering GREEN — audit #3); grade-hero glow gated to
A/A+ via gradeGlows (a glowing C devalued the cue); VYNDR INTELLIGENCE
panel de-flooded (neutral border, Form/Rest neutral not green — #15).
- LiveHeroProp: negative edge now muted red, not neutral (sign completeness).
- Archetype dedup off signal-green (both archetypes.js + archetypeService.js,
kept matched): DUAL THREAT/MOTOR #00D4A0, MIRROR #34D399, ARTILLERY/RANGE/
GHOST/BLADE #2DD4BF, BRUSH #3DDC84 shifted to distinct non-green hues (all
ΔE>=44 from #00D4A0). Within-sport uniqueness preserved.
- tests/unit/colorContract.test.js — 21 tests: helper units + source-grep
violation locks + archetype-green-dedup. QA.20-22 kept green.
