- Name normalization completed: NICKNAMES table (Matt↔Matthew, Mike↔Michael...)
resolved in nameKey, parenthetical team-tag strip "(STL)", verified accent-fold
(Iván/Ivan, José/Jose). Slate strip now DISPLAYS the normalized de-dotted name
("AJ Ewing" not "A.J. Ewing") via buildPlayerStripsFromProps.
- Complete MLB VYNDR INTELLIGENCE: mlbGameLogFeatures derives rest_days (days off
between latest games; 0=B2B) + ab_per_game (usage). buildIntelFields renders
usage as "X AB/G", rest as B2B/Xd, matchup from bvp_advantage fallback.
- Ticker SCAN dedup: pushTickerItems keeps one SCAN per sport (sport field or
text-prefix parse for legacy); MOVE/GRADE preserved; cap 50.
- BOMBER threshold prorated for mid-season (hr>=15 strong / >=10 mod) so June
sluggers classify BOMBER not FLEX/DRIVER.
Backend 2122 -> 2149 tests (+27), 179 suites. Web build clean (exit 0).

Three focused P1 fixes on the Session-45 snapshot model.
- Grade card intel ROOT CAUSE: gameLogService is NBA/WNBA-only (offline Python),
so MLB props never got l5_avg/l20_avg and buildIntelFields returned {}. Wired
MLB game logs into featureCache.gameLogFeatures via mlbStatsAdapter.getPlayerStats
(pure mlbGameLogFeatures + MLB stat_type->field map). buildIntelFields gained
playerStats/projection fallbacks for partial intel.
- Player name normalization: src/utils/playerName.js (+ web/src/lib copy):
normalizeName -> {display,key}. Strips periods, de-dots suffix, accent-folds
the key. Applied in snapshotService grouping, slateAdapter grade index +
player-strip merge (variants collapse, longest name shown), and
playerIntelService. "A.J. Ewing"/"AJ Ewing" + "Jazz Chisholm"/"Jr." now merge.
- MLB starting pitchers: new GET /api/schedule/:sport/pitchers (probablePitchers
service wrapping mlbStatsAdapter.getScheduleWithPitchers + best-effort ERA).
Slate fetches it, builds a team->pitcher map (full name + mascot match),
attaches pitchers to MLB GameCardData. + Next proxy.
Backend 2100 -> 2122 tests (+22), 176 suites. Web build clean (exit 0).
