The landing hero reads the snapshot from Redis DIRECTLY via heroPropService,
so it never passed through routes/snapshot.js and was still serving model_odds,
ev_pct, value and takeable to anonymous visitors after the first fix. Same
strip, same tier resolution, same private-cache rule for authenticated callers;
the Next proxy now forwards the bearer token.
PRODUCT CONSEQUENCE, FLAGGED RATHER THAN BURIED: the landing hero is served to
anonymous visitors, so it now renders BOOK and FAIR with the model leg LOCKED
instead of the full triplet it showed this morning. That follows the stated
free-tier rule exactly, but it does trade a strong marketing moment (VALUE
+21.1% VS FAIR on the shop window) for consistency of the gate. Reversing is
one line — add 'model_price' to the free tier in src/config/tiers.js, or
special-case the hero route — and is a product call, not a correctness one.

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.
