builtbykev bf7c0a3c08 Wave 3: /compare built (real head-to-head); resolution tail scoped, not shipped
No grade, ledger or scoring change. Push scoring untouched.

REVIEW ZERO 0.3/0.4 — THE RESOLUTION TAIL DOES NOT FIRE. The resolver is
POST /api/grading/resolve (routes/grading.js:208), and its fanout at :356-371
covers webPush, telegram and discord — but:

  - share-card generation: SPEC'D-NOT-BUILT. Not in the fanout at all (grep
    shareCard in grading.js = 0). shareCards/renderer.js exists with ZERO
    callers, so the component is built but no step would ever invoke it.
  - push notifications: BUILT-NOT-FIRING. In the fanout but gated on
    webPush.configured() (VAPID). push_subscriptions = 0 rows and
    user_notifications = 0 rows — nothing ever subscribed or delivered.
  - Telegram result posts: BUILT-NOT-FIRING (gated on BOT_TOKEN + CHANNEL_ID).
  - Discord result posts: BUILT-NOT-FIRING (gated on webhookFor('results')).
  - recap (all-Final trigger): SPEC'D-NOT-BUILT. No recap file exists in src/.

AND THE WHOLE TAIL IS UNREACHABLE: nothing calls /api/grading/resolve — there is
no ESPN poller in the repo. The live settlement path is the scheduler's
settleAllOutcomes + settleAllLedgers, which fans out to opsNotify only (ops
alerts), with no user-facing output. So even the built channels have no trigger.

Per the order's own rule, ShareCard, /notifications, result posts and recap are
therefore ALL SCOPED, none shipped — no dead shells over a silent pipeline.

BUILT — /compare. Semantics (0.2): a same-market head-to-head, two players with
every row a measure BOTH sides are scored on, aligned via alignRows so the
numbers are comparable — deliberately not two disconnected graded props. Reads
the live /api/stats/player/:name?sport= aggregate. Honest-absent three ways: an
unresolved side reads NO DATA while the other still renders; a measure only one
side has renders a dash, never 0; if neither resolves the page refuses to
compare. NO VERDICT — it shows measures and says the reader draws the call.

Two pre-existing tests (vyndrPhaseE, vyndrParityQA) asserted the in-development
placeholder; both superseded rather than deleted — they now assert the stronger
properties against the real page (live fetch, no sample players, NO VERDICT,
NO DATA, "not a zero").

Floor: 316 suites / 3930 tests green (10 new), web build exit 0.

builtbykev ff7f5d8d2d Wave 1: wire /intelligence, /slip, /parlay + /marketplace honesty pass
Wiring + one copy pass. No grade, ledger, model or scoring change (diff empty
across intelligence/, ledgerService, outcomeService, gradeSlateService).

REVIEW ZERO — each surface proven with real data BEFORE wiring:
  0.1 /intelligence vs /system are NOT duplicates. System.dc.html is a
      multi-surface artboard (TERMINAL + INTELLIGENCE + WIRE sections), not the
      design for a distinct /system route; its INTELLIGENCE section is already
      realised as the live app/intelligence/page.tsx. No /system page exists and
      none should be built as a second copy — the prod 404 is correct.
  0.2 /intelligence renders live and gates SERVER-side, not by blur: the proxy
      requires auth and limits by tier (desk 50 signals / non-desk 8), and
      returns 401 to an anonymous caller (verified live). No leak.
  0.3 /slip parses a real DraftKings slip end to end: 3/3 legs,
      needs_review false, Aaron Judge total_bases over 1.5 @ -115. Honest limit
      recorded: parsers are layout-rigid, an unsupported layout yields ZERO legs
      rather than wrong ones (never-guess), so real-world OCR hit-rate across
      layouts is CANNOT DETERMINE until user slips arrive.
  0.4 /parlay direct route hits the real correlation builder on the same
      ParlayContext the drawer uses.
  0.5 /marketplace advertised four unbuilt things but made NO performance or
      profit claim, and its capture was already real (/api/waitlist upserts to a
      waitlist table). The gap was tense, not fabrication.

WIRED: Nav MORE gains Intelligence, Slip Reader and Marketplace; Parlay Lab
re-pointed from the drawer hash to /parlay (the drawer is unaffected —
ParlayPanel stays mounted with its floating badge).

GATING: /intelligence added to GATED_ROUTES because its feed 401s signed-out, so
an ungated link would land visitors on a permanently empty page. /parlay stays
OPEN deliberately — it is the free parlay funnel and gating it would be a
monetization regression.

/marketplace honesty pass: every item body now opens "Not built yet." /
"Not written yet." / "Not produced yet." with what is planned; the subhead states
it is not a purchase, not a pre-order and not a promise of a ship date; the
playbook item carries "No profit claim, no promised return". The capture stays
real — no fake button. Unit-locked.

Floor: 315 suites / 3920 tests green (12 new), web build exit 0.

builtbykev e70c02aca0 report: incomplete-surface build triage; boundary tag NOT applied (no promotion exists)
Report-only. Nothing built, wired, tagged, or removed.

PART 1 — the recalibration boundary was NOT written. The build order asks to tag
grades pre/post edge-shading at "the true promotion timestamp"; there is no such
timestamp, and writing the marker would insert a fabricated model transition
into an append-only public record — the exact corruption the order exists to
prevent. Three independent production proofs:

  A. model_snapshots.code_sha — every sha that ran the pipeline in the last 5
     days is a documented commit from this session (f3bf300 currently live,
     then f310608, 9b5235c, b8ee216, afb56b1, 3592aba, 914a057), all stamped
     model_version engine1@2026-07-20. No promotion commit exists.
  B. Daily A-family share 07-24..07-30: 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.6, 0.0 —
     flat at zero, no step change on any date. A 92.9% re-letter under shading
     would have driven the board to ~79-93% A overnight.
  C. efficiencyShading has zero production importers; HEAD d54eca0, clean tree.

Phase 2 delta: neither 92.9% nor 43.6% is attested in any measurement here, and
no re-lettering occurred at any scale, so partial-slate-vs-full-board cannot
explain a gap that does not exist. The only measured numbers, on all 1250 rows
(the full board): 97.4% would change, 79.8% up, 79.0% A-family, and 0 of 1250
rows actually shaded — the hypothetical re-letter would have come entirely from
an unapproved grading-basis switch, which is why the flip was refused.

Measurement integrity needs nothing new right now: model_version already
separates the S64 eras and takeable tags are complete (1245/1250). The boundary
becomes a hard prerequisite the day a promotion actually ships.

PART 2 — build triage for 14 incomplete surfaces, classified from code with each
one's real dependency and honest size, sequenced into five waves: pure wiring
(/intelligence, /slip, /parlay, /marketplace after a copy honesty pass);
design-only gaps (Live tracking, Slip reader, Newsletter artboards);
self-contained builds (/compare, ShareCard host, /notifications); model-gated
(price triplet MODEL leg and the calibration board both need p_win vs
fair_prob — building either on edge_pct would re-ship the retired 620% lie);
and sport-boundary/quota-gated (/soccer blocked on odds-api 0/500, /system,
Offseason).

Matrix corrections: Live tracking, Newsletter and Slip reader are built/live/
honest and marked incomplete only on the DESIGN column; /parlay is
drawer-reachable, not unreachable; /compare is already honest. No live surface
is showing fabricated data today.

builtbykev d54eca0afc report: pre-audit status pull — no promotion occurred; matrix re-derived (15/26)
Verified three ways that nothing was promoted and no re-lettering happened:
HEAD is the no-flip commit with a clean tree, efficiencyShading is imported by
zero production files, and live grades carry 0.0% A-family (MLB {B:1,C:4},
WNBA {B:15,C:10}). Neither 92.9% nor 43.6% is a figure measured here - the
challenger's real numbers were 97.4% would-change / 79.8% up / 79.0% A, with
0 of 1250 rows actually shaded.

Takeable tags landed (1245/1250 tagged, takeable_floor on all, one floor -160;
the 5 untagged have no locked price). The model-version boundary is absent and
correctly so - there was no recalibration to mark. Not a pre-audit gap.

Matrix re-derived from live prod probes, importer counts and nav-link counts:
15 of 26 fully done. Book comparison RESOLVED (BookComparisonPanel routed to
the grade card). Grade card honesty improved by the edge_pct retirement.
ShareCard / MobileEdgeBoard / DemoScan still dead code. Seven live routes
remain orphaned with zero nav links; /system and /offseason are 404. No
LIVE-but-not-HONEST surface found.

Design is NOT complete: Live tracking, Slip reader and Newsletter are shipped
with no design artboard - design is the gap, not build. Offseason is the
reverse (designed, never built).

Chrome audit manifest assembled: 11 items with per-item session state, four
requiring an entitled Desk session that only Kev can drive.

builtbykev 10aaaeb1da docs: promotion gate not passed (no flip); Order B edge_pct display retired

2026-07-31 00:58:34 -04:00
builtbykev 0997334f8b Order B: retire edge_pct display. Promotion gate NOT passed — no flip.
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.

builtbykev c2c7abbb65 Edge-shading challenger: built + measured. Flooding NOT fixed — input scale is the bug
Challenger only. Champion grade byte-identical (verified by diff). Nothing
promoted, no live grade re-lettered, no ledger row deleted or re-settled.

BUILT src/services/challengers/efficiencyShading.js (measured-never-served):
  adjusted_edge = raw_edge * f(efficiency); grade = band(adjusted_edge) against
  ONE fixed bar (A+>=10, A>=5, B>=3, C>=1, D>=0, F<0) that never moves.
  f(e) = E_SOFTEST/e bounded to (0,1] — soft markets intact (never amplified),
  sharp shaded toward but not past zero, unscored -> f=1 and FLAGGED.
  A fence test asserts no production grade path imports it.
  Cross-market behaviour is unit-proven: the same raw 6% edge grades A in soft
  mlb:total_bases and B in sharp nba:points.

MEASURED on 1250 live ledger rows — Phase 2.5's answer is NO, the flooding is
not gone: challenger 79.0% A and 80.9% A/B (MLB 93.4% A) vs champion 0.2% A.

TWO findings explain why, and they are the point of the order:

1. The shading is a NO-OP on the live board: rows_actually_shaded = 0 of 1250.
   96.5% of rows are UNSCORED (f=1), and the one scored market present
   (mlb:total_bases) is the anchor so its f is 1.0 by construction.
   mlb:strikeouts and nba:points do not appear in the ledger at all (our
   basketball is wnba, not nba). Challenger vs baseline: 0 rows changed.

2. Placement was never the bug — the INPUT SCALE is. Against a fixed 5% bar the
   RAW edge already clears A on 100% of MLB doubles, 89.6% of hits, before any
   shading. MLB median raw edge is 60%, twelve times the bar. Decisive test:
   apply the sharpest score in the spec (f=0.647) to EVERY row — the maximum
   the design permits — and 75.8% still clear A (MLB 91.7%). Since f is bounded
   <= 1, no achievable shading can close a 12x overshoot. Moving the multiply
   from the threshold to the edge does not change the outcome.

This is edge_pct behaving as the 2026-07-29 diagnosis described: a price-free
(proj-line)/line gap whose scale is a function of line size. It is not a
betting edge, so no fixed betting-edge bar is meaningful against it.

2.6 efficient-market over-suppression: CANNOT DETERMINE — zero live rows are
shaded, so there is no efficient market in the data to over-suppress.

Phase 3: takeable tagging was completed in the previous order (migration 034,
1246/1254 rows) and is not repeated. The model-version boundary is again NOT
applied: nothing promoted, so no boundary exists.

Unblocking needs the input replaced, not the multiply moved: p_win vs
fair_prob (both already computed) instead of edge_pct, plus scores FIT from our
own record for the markets we actually grade.

Floor: 313 suites / 3899 tests green (9 new), web build exit 0.

builtbykev 2bfaeff572 Ledger takeable tagging (deferred C2); efficiency challenger BLOCKED
Champion grade UNCHANGED. Push scoring untouched. Additive tags only — nothing
deleted, nothing re-settled.

PART A — THE EFFICIENCY CHALLENGER: BLOCKED, NOT BUILT.
Review Zero came back ABSENT on all three inputs:
  0.1 efficiency scores DO NOT EXIST (zero occurrences of market_efficiency /
      marketEfficiency / efficiency_score in src/ or web/src/).
  0.2 base thresholds DO NOT EXIST (engine1.js has zero `edge` references — the
      grade is not an edge-vs-threshold comparison; grade_thresholds.json holds
      PROBABILITY bands).
  0.3 the +/-0.05 additive efficiency nudge DOES NOT EXIST. The only 0.05s on
      the grade path are featureCache.teammate_absence_bump, a bvp_advantage
      cutoff, and p*0.9+0.05 inside probabilityEstimator (the 0.5*0.1 term of
      the shrink-toward-0.5). There is no additive scaling to replace.

So a challenger differing from the champion in EXACTLY ONE thing cannot be
constructed: there is no additive scaling to swap, no base threshold to
multiply, and engine1.js has zero `sport` references so market cannot reach the
grade. A threshold must exist first — that is R1 of
specs/full-output-grade-mapping.md, an explicitly held separate order. Shipping
R1+R4 together would make the Phase-3 delta report misleading: the re-letter
would be driven mostly by switching to probability grading while being
presented as the efficiency fix.

0.4 coverage: the spec names 5 scores; the live ledger has 11 markets and only
MLB total_bases maps to one. 9 of 11 have no score, so "all scored markets"
cannot be satisfied without inventing 9 numbers.

PART B — LEDGER TAKEABLE TAGGING: BUILT (the deferred C2).
New src/config/takeableStandard.js: floor on the minus side, UNCAPPED plus.
Deliberately NOT valueEngine.isTakeable (the -160..+200 PROMOTION band) — a
+400 prop is not promotable but IS takeable; a test asserts the two diverge on
the plus side and agree at the floor so they can never quietly merge. Absent
price returns null, never false (Number(null) === 0 would tag a missing price
takeable). The floor is POLICY not derived (C1 could not derive one) and is
labelled so; each row records takeable_floor so a re-derivation can re-tag.

Migration 034 (applied + tracked): ledger_entries.takeable boolean +
takeable_floor numeric, nullable, partial index. Forward tagging in
ledgerService at row build; backfill in one statement.
Result: 1254 rows, 1246 tagged (781 takeable / 465 below floor), 8 NULL with
null_despite_price = 0 (the NULLs are genuinely priceless rows). Settled 1163
and graded 1254 unchanged.

PART C — the model-version boundary tag is DELIBERATELY NOT APPLIED: no scaling
change shipped, so no boundary exists, and stamping one would mark a model
transition that never happened. modelEras.js is its home when a real one lands.

Floor: 312 suites / 3890 tests green (8 new), web build exit 0.

builtbykev a6afac43cc report: market-efficiency scaling check — FLAT, mechanism structurally absent
Report-only. No threshold, grade, or efficiency value changed.

VERDICT: FLAT. marketEfficiency.js does not exist (zero occurrences of
market_efficiency / efficiency_score in src/ or web/src/). The spec's
0.85/0.60/0.55 values appear in grade_thresholds.json only as PROBABILITY
BANDS - a coincidental numeric overlap, not efficiency scores.

The base edge thresholds (MLB A:5%, NBA A:7%) do not exist either: engine1.js
has zero `edge` references, so the live grade is not an edge-vs-threshold
comparison at all. The specced rule threshold = base x efficiency has no host.

DISPOSITIVE: engine1.js contains ZERO `sport` references. computeFactors
receives no sport or market, so per-market OR per-sport scaling is structurally
impossible in the live grader - not merely unwired.

Phase 2: the matched-edge test is confounded (edge is not the grading input -
the same market emits both B and C at one edge). The aggregate that
discriminates: mean grade index wnba points 4.71 at mean edge 10.2 vs mlb hits
4.58 at 69.5 vs mlb total_bases 4.32 at 84.9 - the efficient market earns the
highest grades on one-eighth the edge, the opposite of spec.

PREMISE CORRECTION (measured): this order's opening claim that full-output and
collapsed grades "agree 100%" does not hold - on 512 rows carrying both they
agree 17.8%, with 33.8% differing by 3+ tiers. The prior discrimination result
stands (champion r=0.0050 null vs probability r=0.1313; MLB 0.0686 n.s. vs
0.2356 p~0.0004). Repo unchanged between orders. The collapse was not a
phantom and the re-adjudication list stays open.

Scope: flat thresholds are a grade-CALIBRATION gap only - the projection and
the CLV edge (which measured p_win, never the letter) are untouched, so this is
not a third shadow-model alarm. But the fix is NOT independently bounded: with
no threshold step to multiply, efficiency scaling presupposes probability
grading. It is rule R4 of specs/full-output-grade-mapping.md and belongs to
that MLB-first challenger.

builtbykev 708f0fde5c report: full-output grade mapping spec + collapse cost measured
Report-only. Nothing built, reconnected, or promoted.

Premise corrected again: the three-layer engine is BUILT but NOT WIRED and NOT
DEPLOYED (0 python refs in every grade-path file, 0 python in Dockerfile; there
is no engine1Adapter). So no posterior/CI/similarity prior exists to inventory
or diff. Measured against the collapse that actually exists instead.

THREE collapses, not one: (A) estimateProbability's components discarded at
analyzeViaEngine1:521-524; (B) THE SEVERE ONE - p_win never reaches the grade
at all (engine1.js has zero probability references), so the probability is
excluded from grading rather than collapsed into it; (C) grade_thresholds.json
(probability->grade) read backwards to manufacture confidence.
Market-efficiency scaling is never computed - a gap, not a collapse.

MEASURED on 354 settled rows carrying the served letter and the locked pre-game
p_win (forward, not lookahead). Grade->outcome point-biserial r: champion letter
0.0050 (p~0.93, null) vs probability letter 0.1313 (p~0.013). Per sport: MLB
champ 0.0686 n.s. vs prob 0.2356 (p~0.0004); WNBA champ -0.0986 vs prob -0.1258
- BOTH INVERSE. The served letter is inverted between its only two populated
tiers (B 52.4% n=168 vs C 56.9% n=174).

Verdict: costly on MLB, and un-collapsing does NOT help WNBA -> the challenger
must be MLB-FIRST. Five falsifiable mapping rules specced, incl. R2
(uncertainty grades down) stated explicitly and droppable if it fails.

Hard requirement on the next order: persist per-row n, SE and pre-adjustment p,
or R2/R4 can never be adjudicated (not stored today).

Re-adjudication list flagged incl. proj-v1.1's NOT PROVEN verdict (judged
against the collapsed champion, so not final) and ROI-by-grade (with B/C
inverted, the MLB-C +4.57% segment is likely an artifact of a meaningless
letter).

builtbykev dd98b0b614 report: model architecture recovery map — the live grade uses 0 of 3 specced layers
Archaeology only; nothing built, reconnected, or promoted.

The champion is two DISCONNECTED estimates: the letter is engine1's additive
factor index (zero references to p_win or any probability in engine1.js), and
p_win is probabilityEstimator's frequencyOver + 5 heuristic layers, computed
after and merely attached. The live grade path never calls the Python service.

The Python three-layer engine is NOT DEPLOYED — no python/pip in the
Dockerfile; app.js only health-checks it. So Layers 1-2 never shipped.
Layer 3 is wired BACKWARDS: grade_thresholds.json maps PROBABILITY->GRADE and
the live JS reads it in reverse to manufacture confidence from an
already-chosen letter. Per-sport market-efficiency scaling is specced-absent.

Consequence stated plainly: every metric audited to date is on the shadow
model, not the specced engine, which has never been measured.

Sport boundary TESTED not asserted: a new sport on the live path is a ~10-file
core edit with four documented silent-failure modes. Per-sport records DO
exist (sports.mlb n=526/62% vs pooled overall n=937/58%, each n>=20 gated),
but /api/accuracy ignores ?sport= and the pooled overall would absorb a new
sport. Park x weather confirmed challenger-only; xwOBA and leash absent.

Recovery map is dependency-ordered with MLB as the reference module.

builtbykev f3bf300b36 report: C1 takeable-floor derivation — CANNOT DERIVE (every bucket CI spans zero)
MLB decided overs n=296, 100% with locked_odds. ROI by locked-price bucket
shows every 95% CI containing zero; the curve is NON-MONOTONE and runs opposite
to the premise (deepest buckets positive, the -111..-160 middle most negative);
and price bucket is confounded with market (+200up = doubles/HR longshots).
Rows needed per bucket to resolve a 5-pt edge: 661-2285 vs actual 8-71 (~187
days for one bucket at current accrual). The inherited -160 is neither
confirmed nor refuted. The no-ceiling call is not supported by this data either
(+200up is the worst bucket) though it is not refuted - it stays a design
choice, not a data-backed one.

Recommends C2 proceed with -160 as an explicitly-labelled POLICY floor plus a
re-derivation trigger (any negative bucket n>=300, or end of MLB regular
season; adopt a derived floor only when a bucket CI excludes zero). Enumerates
all 9 takeable sites, incl. the live drift hazard (backend env-tunable,
frontend hardcoded) and the user-visible band copy in PriceTriplet.

builtbykev f310608ca4 docs: top-graded selector fingerprinted — strip-after-rank boundary proven in prod
The anonymous live order (Brionna Jones edge 29.4 ahead of Rhyne Howard edge
42.9) is only explicable by server-side p_win ranking (.90 vs .745, both
takeable) while the payload carries no paid fields — the free caller got the
paid RANKING without the paid SIGNAL, on live data.

builtbykev 72a14dc4cd Build /api/props/top-graded server selector: rank with p_win, serve without it
New READ endpoint. No grade, ledger row, lock_line, or scoring write. Push
scoring untouched.

REVIEW ZERO CORRECTED THE PREMISE: the handler NEVER EXISTED in any commit
(searched git rev-list --all for a /top-graded definition in src/ — zero hits).
Not "removed" — the three axios callers (cheatsheetGenerator, gradeOfTheDay,
widget) and the Next proxy were written against a phantom endpoint, so those
three content generators have silently received [] for their entire life.
Contract recovered from the four consumers, not guessed: {props:[...]},
?sport=UPPERCASE (absent = all sports, which gradeOfTheDay relies on) + ?limit,
rows carrying player/stat/line/direction/sport/grade/confidence? plus the
player_name/stat_type aliases and game_id.

POPULATED-PATH RISK FOUND: the board's populated branch had never run in prod,
and dashboard/page.tsx:463 calls g.stat.replace(/_/g,' ') UNGUARDED (g.player
also feeds the row key, /scan URL and heading; sport must be UPPERCASE for
SportPill). toRow requires non-empty string player+stat and a finite line,
uppercases sport, and DROPS unrenderable rows — a shorter board beats a broken
one.

THE LEAK BOUNDARY (why this is server-side): the browser cannot rank on p_win
for all tiers because stripModelPrice deliberately withholds it from unentitled
tiers. Order of operations is
  read cache -> RANK with p_win (every tier) -> map rows incl. model fields
    -> stripModelPrice(rows, tier) -> serialize
so a free caller receives the paid RANKING without the paid VALUES. Tier comes
from resolveTierFromRequest, which FAILS CLOSED to 'free'. Cache-Control is
private under a bearer token, public otherwise (the /api/snapshot precedent).

ONE SHARED DEFINITION, no drift: new src/utils/gradeRanking.js
(takeablePWin/descNullsLast/rankGrades). heroPropService now imports
takeablePWin instead of its inline copy (behaviour unchanged — it was that
logic verbatim); the selector imports rankGrades; web/src/lib/slateAdapter
keeps its mirror (the browser cannot import src/, S25) and a test cross-checks
the two on identical fixtures (playerName.js precedent). Board is grade-first
("top GRADES"), hero is p_win-first ("top read") — they differ BY DESIGN and
agree within the leading tier.

HONEST LIMIT: the Next proxy (cachedBackendJson) sends no Authorization header
and caches under a shared key, so via the dashboard every viewer gets the
free-tier payload — correct order, no paid values. That is the SAFE behaviour;
forwarding auth into a shared cache is exactly how a paid payload leaks to
anonymous viewers. Per-tier delivery through the proxy needs a tier-keyed cache
and is not done here.

Verified on real prod snapshot data (anonymous path): MLB 8 props, WNBA 10,
0 paid-field leaks, render-contract safe on every row, sport uppercase.

Floor: 311 suites / 3882 tests green (18 new — leak test uses POPULATED p_win,
not today's nulls: entitled gets p_win and it drove the order, unentitled gets
a byte-identical order with all five MODEL_FIELDS absent and no trace in
JSON.stringify, while book/fair market facts survive). Web build exit 0.
Dashboard visual is auth-gated -> tagged for the Chrome audit, not faked.

Held: edge_pct rescale/retirement (Order B); board columns/contract unchanged;
tier-keyed proxy caching.

builtbykev b85b351993 Grade-board sort: signed signal, takeable-gated p_win, missing sorts LAST
Display ORDERING only. No grade, ledger row, lock_line, scoring, or edge_pct
scale/display change. Push scoring untouched.

Two defects removed from selectTopGrades (wrong at ANY scale, independent of
edge_pct's separate retirement):
  1. edge: Math.abs(numOr(g.edge, -Infinity)) — abs() on an already-
     direction-signed value ranked the model's strongest DISAGREEMENTS level
     with its strongest agreements (177 public ledger rows carry a negative
     edge; positive = the model AGREES with the graded side).
  2. Math.abs(-Infinity) === Infinity, so a row with NO edge sorted FIRST —
     absent data presented as the top pick (the Number(null) class).

New key: grade -> confidence -> takeable-gated p_win (nulls LAST) -> SIGNED
edge (nulls LAST) -> input order. Scales are never mixed in one comparator.
Takeable band = web valueState.isTakeable, asserted byte-equal to the hero's
config/valueEngine.isTakeable (-160..+200) incl. strict-null.

Alt-line ladder (analyzeViaEngine1:506) no longer sorts by edge_pct: ordered
highest-p_win-first derived analytically at zero added compute — P(stat >= k)
is monotone non-increasing in k, so p_win-desc is line-ASC for an over and
line-DESC for an under. base stays marked; no consumer depends on
alt_lines[0]; deskShowcaseService.rungsOf already re-sorted by line.

THREE PREMISE BREAKS found report-first, before code:
  - /api/props/top-graded 404s in prod (absent from src/) so the dashboard
    board renders receipts/empty — the edge sort orders nothing there today.
    The prior order's "97.3% of rows tie" was a LEDGER measurement wrongly
    extrapolated to that board. Fix is correct-in-itself and lands when the
    feed is restored.
  - p_win cannot be a client-side key for all tiers: snapshotGating strips it
    for unentitled tiers ("shipping p_win is shipping the model price").
    Verified live: prod /api/snapshot carries p_win on 0/8 MLB, 0/25 WNBA.
  - Ladder rungs carry no per-rung price, so the takeable gate is inapplicable.

Verified on real data, both sports, both paths: unentitled — WNBA (n=25)
ordering CHANGED, MLB (n=8) unchanged, signed edge non-increasing in every
(grade,confidence) tie group (20 pairs, 0 violations); entitled — 40 real
ledger rows with p_win+locked_odds, p_win-descending, untakeable chalk NOT
promoted (Trea Turner .757 @-275 does not beat Rhyne Howard .745 @-120)
(36 pairs, 0 violations).

Hero consistency, stated honestly: same signal + same gate, different
precedence BY CONTRACT (board = grade-tier-first "top GRADES"; hero =
p_win-first "top read"). Identical within the leading tier (verified); across
tiers the board may lead with an A the hero doesn't pick. Not a contradiction.

Floor: 310 suites / 3864 tests green, web build exit 0. Dashboard + Desk
visuals are auth/feed-gated -> tagged for the Chrome audit, no visual faked.

Held: edge_pct rescale/display retirement (Order B); building the missing
/api/props/top-graded selector; exposing p_win to unentitled tiers.

builtbykev 41b86e3874 Hero ranking fix: rank by champion p_win among takeable, honest empty state
Review Zero found the hero's ACTUAL behavior was worse than "unknown": it ranks
on ev_pct (heroPropService v2), but ev_pct is NULL on served grades and
Number(null)===0 made Number.isFinite(Number(null)) TRUE — so every prop tied at
EV 0 and the "top read" was really the FIRST takeable A/B prop in cache order
(arbitrary, dressed as ranked).

v3: rank by the CHAMPION's p_win (the only signal with a promising, not proven,
edge — its takeable-MLB-over CLV survived the skew audit) among A/B, TAKEABLE-
priced reads (isTakeable band -160..+200, same as the proof/audit). Strict
null guard kills the Number(null)=0 bug. Takeable filter is mandatory (raw p_win
crowns -300 chalk). NO backfill: nothing qualifies → honest empty state
(available:false, reason:'no_qualifying_read'), never a weak recent read.

p_win is RANKING-ONLY, server-side — toHero never exposes it and the route strips
it. Framing unchanged in substance (model number vs book number, grade,
timestamp) — no proven-edge / +EV / best-bet claim, no CLV/ROI/edge number.
Display-only: reads snapshot caches, writes to nothing (no grade/ledger/lock_lines).
Full suite 3852 green, web build exit 0.

BookComparison.tsx was built but UNROUTED (dead). Route it to the GradeResultCard
via a new self-fetching BookComparisonPanel that reads the live /api/books feed
(source:'bookprices' — the snapshot-locked, fenced, byte-identical store).

Contract fix (Review Zero 0.1): books frequently sit at DIFFERENT lines (WNBA DK
21.5 / FD 18.5; MLB 2/3), so BookComparison now renders EACH book's own line
per-row — never one shared header line implying a false same-number comparison.

Honest states: single-book (the common case for MLB) → one book, "One book
posting this prop.", NO crown/second row; multi-book → all books' own line+price,
NONE crowned (BOOK_CROWN_ENABLED=false — no best-price claim, verified live
crowned:false); no books → renders NULL (panel self-hides), never a placeholder.

No regression: only the always-empty inline d.books section was replaced; grade,
projection, PropLine line, and PriceTriplet price are untouched (wiring test
asserts them). Freshness (0.4): bookprices is written in the SAME snapshot that
locks the grade (intraday refresh touches neither gradedAt.line nor bookprices) —
same fresh, no stale-label needed. Web-only → grade byte-identical trivially.
Full suite 3851 green, web build exit 0.

builtbykev c7067c80c4 Persist lock-time multi-book lines to lock_lines (unblocks the staleness audit)
The over-side skew audit's confirming check — was our locked line stale-high vs
consensus AT LOCK — was BLOCKED because multi-book lines at lock were never
persisted (bookprices is Redis current-only). This persists them.

- migration 033: lock_lines table (tracked + applied to prod). One row per
  (graded prop × book) with both odds + a lock timestamp. RLS enabled, NO
  policies -> service-role only (fence). UNIQUE key -> idempotent re-runs.
- lockLineCapture.js: buildLockRows (pure, graded-props only, honest-absent
  single-book) + idempotent upsert persist. Built from the in-memory props at
  the LOCK moment (ts) -> no Redis re-read, no TTL race.
- snapshotService: persist right after `enriched` (the lock moment; gradedAt
  uses the same ts). Best-effort + fenced.

FENCE (measurement-only): lock_lines is read by NOTHING on the grade path
(gradeSlateService, snapshot dedup/indexOdds, challengers, selector, ledger) —
a grep test asserts it, and RLS locks it to the service role. Grade byte-
identical proven: runSnapshot grades are identical with persist on/off (test).

Volume ~1.5-3k rows/day (graded props x books x 5 snapshots); weeks retained,
no pruning needed short-term. Does NOT retroactively fix the existing 62 rows —
future accrual only; confirmation still needs weeks of settled rows. Full suite
3842 green, web build exit 0. No grade/locked_odds/outcome/served surface changed.

builtbykev 6552281661 CLV instrument repair: fix attachClosingProb read + recoverable market_unavailable
The closing_prob funnel collapsed 100k priced captures -> 59 usable. Root cause
(VERIFIED against prod, join key is PERFECT with 0 mismatches):
- attachClosingProb read closing_captures with .limit(50000) and NO ORDER BY on
  a 730k-row table that is 86% refusal rows -> saw ~7% for MLB, missed most
  priced closes and declared 200+ rows closeless that HAD a capture.
- market_unavailable_reason was write-once/terminal, so a row wrongly declared
  (truncated read / premature declaration before the capture was visible) could
  never recover even once its genuine capture existed. 298 rows (204 MLB + 94
  WNBA) were stuck this way.

Fix (CLV computation only — no grade/locked_odds/outcome touched):
- Read ONLY priced captures (missed_reason IS NULL, both odds NOT NULL), scoped
  to the candidate rows' game_dates -> small AND complete, no arbitrary truncation.
- Drop the market_unavailable exclusion from candidates; make it a re-checkable
  absence: a genuine close now UPGRADES the row (writes closing_prob, clears the
  verdict). closing_prob stays write-once (first true close wins). No capture +
  past game -> still declared absent (honest). No churn on already-absent rows.
- New internal trigger POST /api/internal/ledger/attach-closing[/:sport] for
  backfill + verification (scheduler already runs attach per tick).

Recovers ~312 usable closes (59 -> ~371), MLB included. Capture itself was
healthy all along (94.9% MLB / 95.8% WNBA per-prop coverage). Full suite 3835

builtbykev e81c9b8c51 Book Comparison Phase 1-3(backend): fenced per-book store + honest gated crown
Per-book prices existed only transiently (odds cache, ~1h, raw names, grade-path
input); every grade-path persistence point collapses to one book. The
/api/books feature was built+mounted but non-functional (fed FLAT rows to a
GROUPED comparator -> always empty).

Phase 1: bookPriceStore captures per-book prices from `props` BEFORE dedupeProps,
keyed nameKey|stat, into bookprices:{sport} (SNAP_TTL) in snapshotService. Fenced:
reads props, writes its own key, read by nothing on the grade path. Grade proven
byte-identical (test + no-grade-path-reference grep test).

Phase 2: scripts/measure-book-spread.js reports same-line best-vs-worst spread
(cents + implied-prob pts), per sport, never pooled. Pre-registered crown
threshold: median >=8c OR >=2pp. Runs post-deploy on real data.

Phase 3 (backend): compareProp is honest-absent (single-book/flat -> no crown)
and the crown is gated (BOOK_CROWN_ENABLED, default OFF until Phase 2 clears).
/api/books repointed to the snapshot-locked store (fallback odds cache),
nameKey-matched; `source` field is the deploy fingerprint.

HELD unchanged: dedupeProps, snapshot dedup, selector, grade, champion,
challengers, ranking, edge_pct/ev_pct. UI routing of BookComparison + crown
treatment deferred to post-measurement (gated on Phase 2). Full suite 3834 green,
web build exit 0.

builtbykev 914a057611 proj-v1 book-implied: raw odds → de-vigged FAIR (fix self-flattering basis)
proj_book_implied derived from raw book_odds — VIG-INCLUSIVE. A -110/-110 market
implies 52.4%/side (104.8% sum); fair is 50%. Comparing our P against raw book
overstates the book on both sides, biasing the handicapper test IN OUR FAVOR; on
juiced longshots (the Judge HR -18.5pt case) much of that "edge" was vig, not
disagreement.

Fix (fenced to proj-v1's stored comparison basis): proj_book_implied now derives
from DE-VIGGED FAIR via the grade's g.fair_prob — the SAME multiplicative de-vig
the triplet uses (utils/devig.js), so the basis matches the product's shown fair.
Expressed on the OVER basis (under props → 1 - fair) to match our stored P(≥rung);
traded-rung ladder book_implied likewise. HONEST-NULL where fair is uncomputable
(one-sided market, ~14%) — NEVER a raw-book fallback (that would recreate the vig
bias on a subset and mix two bases in one ledger). proj_factors records
book_implied_basis ('fair_multiplicative'|'none').

Phase 0 (prod-verified): fair reachable at store point (g.fair_prob on the grade,
no threading); 86% batting coverage; method = multiplicative/proportional.
Phase 2 FLAG: multiplicative de-vig mis-splits vig on juiced longshots (favorite-
longshot bias), so a longshot fair still carries known method bias — flagged
per-row (longshot_devig_caveat); a better de-vig (Shin/power) is a separate item.
Phase 3: version bumped proj-v1 → proj-v1.1 so pre-fix (raw-book) and post-fix
(fair) rows never silently mix — the projection model is byte-identical, only the
basis changed; pre-fix rows can't be recomputed (only the graded side's odds were
stored). Champion + arch-v1 + contact-v1 + proj-v1's other columns untouched.
proj suites 26/26.

builtbykev e96b0dbb6d proj-v1: book-implied from book_odds (grades carry odds, not fair_prob)
The live fingerprint showed proj_book_implied null on every real row: grades
carry book_odds/locked_odds (e.g. -264) but NOT a de-vigged fair_prob, so keying
the book comparison off fair_prob yielded null. The book ODDS are exactly "the
book's implied probability" the handicapper test needs. Now proj_book_implied +
the traded rung's book_implied derive from americanToImplied(book_odds),
expressed on the OVER basis (under props → 1 - implied) so it's directly
comparable to our P(≥rung). Vigged (a known offset the ledger measures both
sides of). proj-v1 suites 24/24.

builtbykev 316b79733e proj-v1 sanity fixes (caught in the real-data induction)
1. matchupRead fly-ball signal: the batter metrics `gb_pct_bb`/`fb_ld_pct` are
   MISLABELED — they're exit velocities by batted-ball type (Judge fb_ld_pct =
   100.3 mph, not a rate), not ground/fly RATES. Switched fly-ball lean to
   avg_launch_angle (league p10/p50/p90 = 7.1/13.9/20.1°), the correct signal.
2. Absolute rate now fits the FULL season (recency-weighted), not a 20-game
   window: the window under-sampled rare stats — Judge HR projected 0.11 vs his
   0.28 season rate (a fake -32pt edge). Now point=0.27 (matches season); the
   last-5-2x recency lean is preserved.

Post-fix induction (real statsapi logs + real statcast): Judge HR 0.27 (P>=1
0.235 vs book 0.42 -> flags the juiced over), Judge TB P>=2 0.548 vs 0.48
(+6.8pt), thin-hot 3-game P>=1 0.726 / P>=3 0.164 (credible low, thin high),
.300 hitter != 3.0. proj-v1 suites 23/23.

builtbykev 6386e737b9 proj-v1: absolute matchup projection challenger (distribution + full ladder)
A THIRD challenger (after arch-v1, contact-v1), MLB batting v1. Champion is
market-relative P(stat>LINE); proj-v1 is ABSOLUTE — what the hitter will DO —
emitted as a full distribution from which the WHOLE LADDER (P≥1,P≥2,P≥3) derives.
Champion untouched; nothing claimed; the ledger decides per rung, per stat.

- projection/distribution.js — Bayesian Gamma-Poisson → negative-binomial
  predictive. Admits over-dispersion; under-dispersion → Poisson approx
  (conservative, documented). Uncertainty scales with sample by construction
  (r=α): thin → WIDE (real mass on P≥1, honestly thin P≥3), thick → tight.
  NEVER abstains — width carries the honesty.
- projection/matchupRead.js — the input the book doesn't use. HONEST FIDELITY:
  pitcher repertoire is rich (97% pitch-mix) but hitters have NO pitch-type
  performance, so TRUE repertoire-vs-profile is impossible today. This is the
  COARSE version (arsenal buckets fastball/sinker/breaking + whiff/hard-hit
  tendency × hitter whiff/chase/gb-fb/hard-hit) — beats generic L/R, derived +
  documented + TESTED two-sided. A hitter pitch-type feed unlocks the true form.
- projectionChallenger.js — park RELATIVE to the player's own log exposure
  (isHome→own park, away→opp park; Phase B's raw-multiply bug solved), recency-
  weighted fit, per-factor breakdown (form/park/weather/platoon/matchup — show
  your work), full rung set + book-implied per rung. Combined non-form
  multiplier bounded.
- Wired after contact-v1, own try, flag PROJ_V1_ENABLED, reusing arch-v1's
  already-computed park/weather/platoon (no duplicate env I/O). Own ledger
  columns (migration 032, applied to prod): distribution, ladder, point, line,
  our-P, book-implied, factor breakdown — measurable per rung/stat after settle.

Phase 0 (prod-verified): venue join via isHome; NB family; uncertainty-as-width;
coarse matchup honest fidelity; no lineup-slot (per-game rate, volume implicit).
Sanity: thin-hot → wide (credible low rung, thin high rung); .300 hitter ≠ 3.0;
matchup two-sided; champion byte-identical. proj-v1 suites 23/23; snapshot/
ledger/siblings 74 green. Forward-only, version-stamped, PROJ_V1_ENABLED kill.

builtbykev b6f12daa98 Contact-quality challenger (contact-v1) — nominate, don't swap
Phase A #2: the champion grade (l5/l20 result-based form) is a HYPOTHESIS that
contact quality predicts better — unmeasured on our props, with zero settled
p_win yet. Swapping l5/l20 (the champion's two heaviest ±1.0 factors) blind
could degrade the core grade undetectably for weeks. So this NOMINATES contact
quality as a second challenger, records what it WOULD project per prop, and lets
the settled ledger decide. Nothing users see changes; the champion is untouched.

- src/services/contactChallenger.js — pure, mirrors challengerProjection. Log-
  odds lean (capped, never a re-forecast) from SEASON contact quality vs league
  percentiles. Metric→prop mapping is the whole game: barrel_pct→HR,
  hard_hit_pct→TB/doubles, k_pct-INVERSE→hits (singles resolve on contact
  frequency, not barrels), k_pct→batter K. rbi/runs/walks ABSTAIN (opportunity/
  discipline — no clean contact predictor). Honest-absent: thin (<50 PA)/absent/
  unmapped/non-batter → p_win_contact NULL (no projection), never a fallback;
  "measured but unremarkable" is distinct (equals champion, delta 0).
- Wired in snapshotService AFTER arch-v1, reusing the already-loaded statcast
  rows; its own try so a second challenger can't break the pipeline. Reads
  g.p_win, never writes it.
- Retained SEPARATELY on the ledger (p_win_contact/contact_delta/
  contact_adjustments/contact_version='contact-v1') so each challenger's marginal
  contribution is measured independently; ledger_entries.stat gives per-prop-type
  segmentation. Migration 031 (applied to prod).

Phase 0 (prod-verified): statcast_aggregates is SEASON cumulative (not rolling),
48h stale now but season-scoped so ~8 PA/600 is negligible; 100% of graded
hitters covered, 92% at ≥50 PA; no xBA/xwOBA in the feed. Forward-only,
version-stamped (contact_version null on pre-nomination rows). Promotion is a
LATER decision on settled evidence, per prop type — never asserted here.

contactChallenger 14/14; snapshot/ledger/arch-v1 suites 80 green.

builtbykev 125919f86a Scanner reskin: amber → blue boundary channel + build never-built S6/S7 states
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).

builtbykev 83e9da3663 Consistency classifier: CV → index of dispersion for low-mean counts
The A/D investigation found CV (std/mean) is scale-broken on count data —
for a Poisson-ish stat cv ≈ 1/sqrt(mean), so EVERY stat with mean < 4 blew
past the boom_bust cutoff regardless of behavior. The S63 stopgap made those
return 'unknown', which silently ate a real +1.0 consistency signal on every
MLB batting prop — steady low-mean hitters never got their earned factor.

Fix, fenced to the low-mean branch of consistencyScore (the only branch that
was returning 'unknown'): classify with the index of dispersion (variance/mean,
Poisson baseline 1.0) — the scale-appropriate, UNBIASED statistic for counts.
mean ≥ 4 keeps the NBA-calibrated CV path BYTE-IDENTICAL (zero NBA blast
radius). This is a bug CORRECTION, not threshold loosening: the CV thresholds
and the engine1 ±1.0 delta are unchanged.

Bands (asymmetric around Poisson 1.0, since counts are naturally mildly
over-dispersed): iod<0.60 elite / <0.85 reliable (+1.0) / ≤1.30 volatile
(neutral) / >1.30 boom_bust (−1.0). Sample floor MIN_GAMES_FOR_IOD=8 so a
thin sample abstains ('unknown') — no small-sample guess.

Validated on real 10-game logs (two-sided): Kwan hits 0.67 / Alonso hits
0.78 → reliable (RECOVERED); Alonso TB 2.57 / Henderson hits 1.33 → boom_bust
(no false consistency); HR mean 0.1 → 1.0 → neutral. Direct engine1 proof: a
strong steady prop that grades B+ today reaches A- once the +1.0 fires; a
boom-bust bat stays B (no inflation). A- now emerges NATURALLY from a real
recovered factor. Standing two-sided test pins all three directions.

Forward-only (settled grades are locked in the ledger, never re-graded).
Emitting A- ≠ proving A- — the A-tier record accrues from emission, still
measurement-gated. Full unit suite green (4 pre-existing redis/timing flakes
pass in isolation); web build exit 0.

builtbykev 3440738d9e Landing hero → bundle visual system; claims filtered to earned only
Migrate the Landing hero (Landing-only component; LiveHeroProp/triplet
untouched) to the design bundle's visual language: mono "SPORTS
INTELLIGENCE TERMINAL" eyebrow, tightened 56px/800 headline "Every line,
graded before you bet it.", dual mono CTAs (OPEN THE TERMINAL / SEE THE
PUBLIC RECORD), proof chips.

Claims audited against the held list — the bundle's marketing copy carries
claims we have not earned; those did NOT ship:
- "CLV-VERIFIED" chip + "verified against closing lines" — HELD (C4 broken)
- "312 props / 47 games" count — fabricated demo → ABSENT (no count)
Shipped copy is earned only: pre-graded, edge-ranked, settled in public,
misses included; PUBLIC LEDGER / MISSES INCLUDED / 5 FREE READS chips.

HELD + FLAGGED for a design pass (fabrication-backed, no honest designed
state — check-don't-freelance): the edge-board demo (A+/A don't emit), the
"grades calibrate · A+ hit 80%" claim (calibration unmeasured), and the
tier-record band (real data is B/C-only, no ROI). Not built with fake data.

Tokens via var(--g-a/--void/--border/…) with bundle-hex fallbacks
(documented-intentional pattern). Build exit 0; parity QA green.

builtbykev 4f3f433aae Complete S7 priced-line nudge: freshness on a long-open page + reversible gate
REPORT-FIRST correction. This order's premise — "S7 is a shell that doesn't
update per selection" — is not what the code does. pricedForSelection is a
useMemo on [pricedIndex, selectedPlayer, stat] and setSelectedPlayer/setStat
fire on every user pick, so the chips already update per selection, and the
prior session's verification of that stands. The genuine gap was FRESHNESS: the
snapshot fetch depended on [sport] only, so pricedIndex was fetched once per
sport-change and never refreshed. The pricing cron re-prices at five UTC hours,
so a scanner left open across a cron boundary surfaced hour-stale priced lines.
That is the real defect, and the only one fixed.

FRESHNESS. The fetch is now a refreshPriced callback re-run when the held
snapshot is older than PRICED_STALE_MS (30s, matching the /api/snapshot cache)
at the moment of use — on selection change and on window focus — so a long-open
page never shows a stale line. Sport change still clears the index first, so the
old sport's lines never flash.

STALE-TAP was already safe and is unchanged: the scan submit re-fetches the live
snapshot server-side, so a chip that's gone stale between render and tap either
lands on a real triplet (still priced) or degrades to the honest empty state
(rotated away) — proven in the prior session and re-confirmed here (an
off-snapshot line returns no market and shows the empty state).

REVERSIBLE GATE. The whole nudge sits behind one PRICED_NUDGE_ENABLED flag: false
empties the surfaced set, so the scanner falls back to S6's link-only empty
state with the chips gone. Shipping enabled only after the cases are proven this
session; the flag is the instant revert lever.

DISPLAY-LAYER ONLY. Only scan/page.tsx changed. GradeResultCard, PriceTriplet,
gradeAdapter, valueState, both scan routes and the pure pricedLines helper are
byte-identical — Scan A and the scan-submit resolution are untouched, and the
change is independently revertible.

Tests 3765 passed / 303 suites, web build exit 0.
