Semantic COLOR fix, not cosmetic. The S6/S7 build predated the current Scanner
States spec: it used AMBER (the quarantine / model-suppressed channel) for the
"no market / line not priced" case, telling users "model suppressed" when the
truth is "the board never priced this." Corrected to the HANDOFF Session-3
blue-boundary law: BLUE (--priced-out #8FB2DE) = no-market boundary; amber stays
QUARANTINE; red stays REFUSAL.
Phase 1 (reskin): NoMarketState → dashed BLUE void box + blue header/copy; the
S7 rows → spec format (o 27.5 · BK −114 · ◆ −105 · OPEN READ ▸) at 44px,
390-legible. Input-area surfacer pills reskinned to the blue channel too.
Phase 2 (never-built states, only those Phase 0 confirmed against live data):
- GREEN CTA with LIVE player count ("PLAYER · N PRICED PROPS ▸"), degrading
honestly to the board path ("N PROPS LIVE · TONIGHT'S BOARD ▸") at 0 — count
from the SAME fresh index as the rows (pricedCountForPlayer), can't disagree.
- CASE A none-priced DEFAULT: "WE PRICE THESE FOR [player]" — the player's other
priced stats (pricedStatsForPlayer, filter by nameKey).
- Typed-line-mismatch blue fact line ("o X ISN'T PRICED · NEAREST ↓").
FLAGGED / not built (no shells): Case C off-slate quiet-stop needs schedule/
roster membership the pricedLines index doesn't carry (out of the presentation
fence). Spec CONTRADICTION: Case B says "fair previews amber," but the law
reserves amber for quarantine — fair renders NEUTRAL ◆ (blue-dim), not amber, to
avoid blurring the channel.
Free-tier gate VERIFIED before rendering FAIR: fair_odds is the de-vigged MARKET
price (valueState: "never hide the honest fair number"), NOT the gated
model_odds — no paid leak. Carried through indexPricedLines (additive; keying/
refresh/onPick/stale-tap all unchanged — the proven S7 data path is untouched).
Scan A byte-identical; PRICED_NUDGE_ENABLED still the kill switch; reversible.
Build exit 0; priced + parity suites green (67).

The Session-78 diagnosis stands: the join works, and a marketless scan rightly
shows no triplet. This makes that absence legible and points the user at what IS
priced, without fabricating a market.
PHASE 0 gate — design-check, reachability, timing, all clear. Design-check: the
bundle has the triplet's own REFUSAL language ("we'd rather show nothing than a
number we can't stand behind") as the honesty precedent, and a designed
EmptyState component whose actions give a path forward — so the empty state is
built in the established visual language, not freelanced. Reachability: the
scanner already fetches games/odds/search per selection; the snapshot is one
more public, 30s-cached fetch per sport, re-run when the sport changes.
Staleness: the snapshot rotates 5x/day and every scan re-validates the market
server-side at submit time, so a surfaced line that goes stale degrades to the
empty state on tap rather than a vanishing triplet — the stale-tap guard is
inherent, not bolted on.
Reversibility was the design constraint. The working card, price triplet, grade
adapter, valueState and the scan route are BYTE-IDENTICAL — a test asserts none
of them even reference the new empty state. Everything new lives in two added
files (lib/pricedLines.js, components/vyndr/NoMarketState.tsx) and additive
blocks in the scan page. Removing them leaves the Scan-A path untouched.
Non-fabricating by construction: indexPricedLines only keeps snapshot rows that
carry a real book price, keyed by exact player+stat via nameKey. A different
stat priced for the same player surfaces nothing for the picked stat; an
off-slate player surfaces nothing; nothing is suggested, interpolated, or
rounded to a nearest line. The empty state shows no market numbers of its own —
only real priced lines as one-tap chips, or a link to the live board when there
are none.
Framing is help, not restriction: a "PRICED TONIGHT" chip row sits under the
free-typed line input, and the scanner still accepts any player, stat and line.
Tapping a chip pre-fills the priced line and re-scans it — the market is
re-resolved server-side, so the tap either yields a real triplet or degrades to
the honest empty state.
Path forward, not a wall: a marketless scan no longer dead-ends in blank space.
It states truthfully that the board didn't price that line, keeps the grade, and
routes the user to the priced lines for that exact player+stat or to tonight's
board.
Tests 3760 passed / 303 suites, web build exit 0.
