Serving/gating change only. src/services/ untouched: no grade, model or
settlement-logic change. Pricing = Build 2, migration = Build 3.
WHY THE PRIOR GATE WAS WRONG: freeing grades at resolution made the free tier a
ONE-DAY-DELAYED FEED OF THE WHOLE PRODUCT — settlement is nightly, so a bettor
watching one cycle behind got the entire method free. There is now NO
per-grade resolution flip: an itemized grade, tonight's or last week's, is
Analyst+.
FREE now gets, none of it itemizing the nightly slate:
1. the full data aggregator (unchanged — schedule, per-book lines, stats,
streaks, hubs)
2. the AGGREGATE track record, which ALREADY EXISTS and is public:
/api/accuracy (sample 937, byGrade tiers, per-sport mlb+wnba, min_sample 20)
and /api/ledger/accuracy (per-grade buckets). The honest-record laws are
already honored there — A/D/F return pct:null under the n>=20 threshold
rather than a fake percentage.
3. a CAPPED, day-rotated sample of resolved calls for texture: cap 3, stable
within a day, rotates across days, and only RESOLVED rows are eligible so a
live read can never be sampled. The cap is what kills the exploit — three
rotating past calls cannot reconstruct a nightly slate, whereas the full
settled list is the feed one cycle late.
4. the locked shell of tonight's reads: they exist, and their shape.
EVERY itemized grade for an unentitled tier now loses grade, confidence,
confidence_basis, reasoning, kill_conditions_triggered, projection, edge_pct,
matchup_grade, form, alt_lines and kelly, and is stamped locked. Free-side DATA
survives so the board still reads as real: player, market, line, book_odds,
fair_odds (the de-vigged fair number is the free hook and is never the paywall),
season/last10 stats, archetype — and `outcome`, because a RESULT is a fact
rather than a judgment.
The tease stays aggregate-only (live_locked {count, tiers}) computed from the
ungated rows and never joined back to one, and no gated row carries a grade, so
nobody can work out which prop is the A.
Floor: 319 suites / 3970 tests green, web build exit 0.

Serving/gating change only. src/services/ untouched (git diff empty): no grade,
model or settlement-logic change. Pricing and migration are Builds 2 and 3.
Push scoring untouched.
THE RULE: a grade is PAID while its outcome is unknown and becomes FREE the
moment it resolves.
Resolution is read ONLY from a written outcome — never from time, game status or
gradedAt. A game can be final long before the settle pass runs, so treating
"probably over" as settled is exactly how a live edge would leak; a test asserts
an hours-old gradedAt with no outcome is still LIVE. void and unrecoverable ARE
resolutions (terminal results, no live edge left). isResolved FAILS CLOSED:
null outcome, {} with no result, and empty-string result all read as LIVE, so a
settlement failure withholds content rather than exposing it — the same
direction resolveTierFromRequest fails.
FREE/ANON: settled grades pass through IN FULL, reasoning and kill conditions
included — settled reads are the proof product and cost nothing once the outcome
is known. That also converts the previously-unenforced board reasoning leak into
a deliberate rule rather than an oversight.
LIVE grades for unentitled tiers are reduced to a shell: every piece of model
JUDGMENT is dropped (grade, confidence, confidence_basis, reasoning,
kill_conditions_triggered, projection, edge_pct, matchup_grade, form, alt_lines,
kelly) and `locked: true` is stamped so the card renders the unlock prompt. The
free-side DATA stays so the tease is real rather than empty: player, market,
line, book_odds, fair_odds, season/last10 stats, archetype, gradedAt, history.
fair_odds deliberately survives — the de-vigged fair number is the free hook and
is never the paywall. A test asserts the serialized free row carries no trace of
the withheld judgment.
THE TEASE IS AGGREGATE ONLY: live_locked = {count, tiers} computed from the
ungated rows and never joined back to one, and no gated row carries a grade — so
a free viewer learns that N reads exist and their tier shape without being able
to work out WHICH prop is the A.
Gate order in the route: stripModelPrice (S67) first, then gateLiveGrades.
Entitled tiers get the array back by reference — zero cost, zero change.
Floor: 319 suites / 3971 tests green (10 new), web build exit 0.
One test note: the route-level supertest case was removed deliberately — it
needs a live Redis and hangs on ioredis' reconnect timer in a single-suite local
run (known behaviour, CLAUDE.md). The gate contract is fully covered by pure
tests; the wire is verified against prod anonymously in the fingerprint.
