Phone audit: the same screen showed green 'SIGNAL LIVE · UPDATED 0s ago' AND
amber 'SYNC 46:03' — two components reading different fields. The Slate's
'UPDATED Xs ago' measured the CLIENT poll time (always ~0s, since it refetches
every 60s), while the app-bar clock honestly measured the pipeline's data age
(refreshed_at). '0s ago' claimed a freshness the data didn't have.
Now the Slate captures snap.refreshed_at from the snapshot it already fetches
(newest across sports) and 'UPDATED' shows THAT — the same source of truth as
the clock. The clock still owns the amber/STALE reaction; the strip just states
the honest data age. No more contradiction.

Phone audit: at 390px we still rendered the full desktop 3-row header (nav +
TOP MOVES ticker + SYNC line) eating ~20% of the viewport, and its height
clipped page titles under it (MY READS tabs, HEAD TO HEAD). Implemented Design's
mobile app bar <768px:
- New MobileSyncClock (extracted from HeartbeatBar) lives in the Nav's right
cluster — wall clock rests, amber/STALE reacts off the shared freshness tier.
- <768px: the ticker row (.nav-ticker) AND the whole heartbeat bar are hidden;
only the nav row shows (logo + clock + search). main padding-top → 62px and
the Slate sticky tabs → top:60px, so nothing clips under the bar.
- Locked in vyndrParityQA (P0-4): ticker+heartbeat hidden, nav clock shown,
paddings collapsed.

Design colors every LIVE indicator green (active = green; the live-dots and
LIVE·Q3 labels are all green). The slate header's 'N LIVE' count was red
(--live #ff3b3b) — contradicts the one-meaning-per-color contract (red = miss/
error, which live isn't). Aligned to --g-a.

The one genuinely-new mobile screen. Design's mobile BOARD is a FLAT edge-ranked
list (all graded props across every game on one list, sorted by edge) — not the
desktop's game-grouped cards. Implemented to the drawing with REAL snapshot data:
- slateAdapter.flattenToEdgeBoard(cards) — pure transform of the assembled
GameCardData[] (grade→game join already done) into ranked rows, edge desc.
STRICT null edge sorts LAST (never 0-coerced to the top — Data Semantics Rule).
Threaded edge_pct through buildPlayerStripsFromProps (was dropped). 6 unit tests.
- MobileEdgeBoard component — Design's exact screen-01 rows: rank (green #1),
player + prop, matchup sub-line with TeamChips + live-dot, tier grade chip,
and the edge% as the one bold mono hero (green +, red −). Ranked opacity ramp
(1 → .55) + green inset border on the top reads. Breadth strip EDGES/AVG CLV/
GAMES — CLV honest '—' (per-slate CLV isn't computed; never fabricated).
- Slate: <768px renders the flat board, ≥768px keeps game cards (same data,
toggled by width). Ungraded slate still shows game cards on phones (no blank).
Built to Design's screen-01 drawing, VISUALLY UNVERIFIED at 390px — the core
mobile screen, top of the master-audit list.

Step 3 — OUTLOOK MODE. The game grid no longer dead-ends in a "NO SLATE" CTA.
When there are no live games (and it's not a network failure) it shows REAL,
always-available data: yesterday's PROVEN A-tier receipts (/api/ledger/model)
+ tomorrow's date-pinned ESPN schedule preview (free/cached). A network
fetchError stays a distinct ERROR state — never a fabricated outlook.
- lib/outlook.js (new, CommonJS, unit-tested): buildOutlook selection +
mapTomorrowPreview (upcoming-only, drops incomplete matchups, never invents).
- Slate.tsx: OutlookSurface replaces the empty-grid CTA (dateOffset 0 only).
- dashboard/page.tsx: DashboardOutlook replaces the "Today's games" NO-SLATE CTA.
Step 4 — MARKET-BREADTH / CONSENSUS vs MODEL. Makes the DeskShowcase
"consensus vs model" claim REAL. Consensus = median book line across a prop's
per-book rows; the model's position is model_value vs consensus, signed by the
graded side. <2 distinct books → null (never fabricate a consensus); a
non-numeric line is ignored, never coerced to 0.
- lib/marketBreadth.js (new, CommonJS, unit-tested): median/computeBreadth/
collectBreadth (strict null guards).
- components/vyndr/MarketBreadth.tsx (new): mono/tabular strip, colored by sign
via colorContract.edgeColor, self-hides when nothing has >=2 books.
- Slate.tsx renders it above the grid (joins books + snapshot model_value).
- slateAdapter.js exports gradeKey for the join.
- DeskShowcase.tsx: the consensus claim is now backed by the shipped feature.
Tests: tests/unit/outlook.test.js + tests/unit/marketBreadth.test.js (23 cases).
Full suite 2984 passing (245 suites); next build exit 0.

MLB statsapi + WNBA ESPN live boxscores -> per-player current values
(live:{sport}:{date} TTL 90s, /api/live/:sport + Next proxy). Pure
propState math (HIT / ON PACE / NEEDS N / HOLDS / LINE PASSED — never
red in-progress), attachLiveProgress strip join on nameKey+statType,
proximity-to-hit slate float, StatStrip LiveTracker in the ROW-GRAMMAR
outcome slot (spec amended + lock test updated). Grades never change
in-game — tracking, labeled as such. 2698 -> 2757 tests, web build 0.

- lineupService: statsapi hydrate=lineups (live shape verified) →
CONFIRMED (batting slot) / NOT_IN (team posted without the player) /
PROJECTED (not posted). 10-min cache, pure parser, injectable.
- NOT_IN visibly KILLS the grade on the slate: struck through + NOT IN
LINEUP chip, parlay/book actions suppressed. The locked ledger read is
untouched — honesty is showing the read is dead, not deleting it.
- injuryService: ESPN injuries feed → OUT/GTD/PROB chips (unknown status
→ no chip, never invented). Chips on slate strips via ViabilityChips.
- Date navigation on the Slate: YESTERDAY (results surface — finals +
THE SETTLE panel of that date's settled reads w/ outcome + CLV chips,
via new ?date= filter on /api/ledger/model) / TODAY / TOMORROW
(schedule until lines post). Odds/grades/pitcher layers are TODAY's
and never fake other dates; 60s poll only refreshes today.
- Routes /api/schedule/:sport/lineups + /injuries + Next proxies.

- StreaksPanel renders THE LENS (interpreted read + tonight difficulty) +
snapshot grade letters; streaks are FREE for every tier per the product
definition (the picture is free, the read is paid) — only hot lists keep
the free top-3 gate.
- One stat selection now filters ALL layers: card props narrow together
with streaks + hot lists (Slate activeStat → slateGameToCardData).
- /explore = server SEO shell (daily-indexable: 'MLB Hit Streaks, Hot
Hitters & Stat Leaders') + ExploreHub client: leaders + full streaks +
hot lists, real-tier gated, defaults to the in-season sport.
- Landing teaser fixed: it pointed at NBA (off-season → self-hid forever);
now MLB top-3 through the lens — the anonymous-visitor hook actually
shows.
- Player dossier: ACTIVE STREAKS block (free, lens reads) via new
?player= filter on /api/streaks/:sport.
- Schedule layer already the Slate base (mergeSlate) — verified, no change.

Overnight sprint for the Saturday 10 AM ET deploy gate — day one of the
public ledger record locks against freshly posted lines.
Task A — ledger team/opponent (migration 020, applied at 0 rows):
populated in both write paths from the real feed; opponent only when the
player's team matches a game participant (never guessed). Roadmap: Phase
4.5 WNBA ESPN-boxscore settlement (due ~Jul 24) + Phase 5 per-tier
calibration logged.
Task B — work-order 1.6 CLOSED (canonical player keys):
- searchPlayer resolves via nameKey; the old matcher deleted accents
("Sanchez" with acute -> "snchez") and substring-guessed onto the WRONG
player (the mismatched last-10 bug). Ambiguous -> null, never guess.
- Slate JOIN INVARIANT: a graded prop whose player's real team isn't in
the game is dropped (TB player can't render under MIL@PIT) — locked by
tests that fail the suite on regression.
- grades:{sport} TTL 2h -> 6h (expired between 5h cron gaps — the real
cause of /team "No active props" for slate players).
Task C — Phase 2 slate UX: tabs are THE filter (URL ?sport=, deep-linkable,
duplicate legacy tablist removed); cards cap at 6 graded props sorted
A+->F with ALL N READS in-place expander; waiting states show the real
next pipeline run ("Grades post ~6:00 PM ET").
Task D — Phase 3 mobile P0: root cause of vanished 390px nav was HIDE_ON
including '/' (landing had zero navigation) — fixed; html/body overflow-x
contained; GAME LINES collapses to best-line summary + "N BOOKS" expander
below 640px; venue drops before time/pitchers ever truncate.
Live verification: raw ESPN today STILL returns the Jun 13 NYK@SA Finals
game without a date pin; the pinned fetch returns 0 games, 0 off-date.
Backend 2327 -> 2352 tests (202 suites), web build exit 0.

Work-order Phase 0 (Jul 10 live audit): every fabricated UI element deleted
or rewired to real data. Deletion sprint — no new product features.
0.1 Fake NBA game: root cause was scheduleService fetching the ESPN
scoreboard with no ?dates= param or date filter — off-season ESPN
returns the NEAREST slate (Jun 13 NYK@SA Finals rendered as tonight).
Now pinned to the requested ET date + defensive filter; undated events
dropped. Honest month-aware per-sport empty states (lib/emptyState.js).
0.2 Fake header counters: liveTick stripped to a bare 1s pulse (the
auto-incrementing "247 graded", sin-driven brain-%, aPlus/cascades are
dead). New GET /api/snapshot/summary (cache-only, before /:sport) +
Next proxy; HeartbeatBar shows the real graded count and SYNC =
elapsed since the last pipeline run (amber past 5 min).
0.3 Ticker: hardcoded fallback items deleted (real snapshot exhaust only);
MOVE kept — computeLineDeltas is real movement. <4 real items → no
ticker; bar publishes --ticker-h so the fixed header collapses cleanly.
0.4 /terminal retired: route redirects to /dashboard; VVI/injury-wire/
leaders layouts preserved unrouted as §12 content-engine templates.
Nav PRIMARY = Slate/Scan/Ledger; BottomTabBar Terminal→Explore; PWA
shortcut Terminal→Ledger; #terminal alias → /dashboard.
0.5 ›Query nav pill deleted (duplicate /scan link).
Backend 2289 → 2309 tests (199 suites), web build exit 0.
Spec: specs/phase-0-kill-the-lies.md. Next: work-order Phase 1 (ledger
persistence + settlement).

Product overhaul core — the two transformative, differentiated systems:
Self-learning loop (Phase 2): outcomeService settles locked snapshot grades
against real MLB Stats API results → hit/miss/push, rolling accuracy by grade
tier (30d window). Idempotent, injectable, unit-tested. New GET /api/accuracy +
/api/ledger/accuracy + internal settle triggers + cron hook. AccuracyBadge
(dashboard/scan/landing) is honest — "LEARNING" below MIN_SAMPLE, never a fake
number. Settled HIT/MISS chips overlay the live slate.
Real-time layer (Phase 1): Slate silent 60s auto-refresh (no flash, no wipe on
transient blips) + "SIGNAL LIVE · UPDATED Xs ago" freshness strip; Ticker LIVE
badge that flashes on fresh events.
Landing (Phase 3): TopSignals shows tonight's real top-3 A-rated grades + live
accuracy — the product shown, not described.
Founder pricing: FOUNDER_CODE_EXPIRY default 2026-06-30 → 2026-12-31 (had
lapsed, disabling every founder code + the ClaimMeter pitch). That expiry — not
a tier change — was the real cause of the 4 stripe test failures.
Backend 2255 (4 failing) → 2274 (all green; +19 new, +4 fixed). Web build 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).

The on-demand "Read" grade model is RETIRED. A scheduled pipeline pre-grades the
slate, locks grades to the line, tracks movement; the dashboard shows them already
there. Orchestrates existing services — nothing rebuilt.
- snapshotService.runSnapshot(sport): getOdds → gradeAndCacheSlate → classify
archetype per player → lock gradedAt → line deltas vs previous snapshot → write
snapshot:{sport}:latest/previous + grades:{sport} → ticker events. Fully
injectable, zero-network unit tests. runAllSnapshots = cron entrypoint.
- Internal trigger POST /api/internal/snapshot/:sport + /all (requireInternalAuth).
In-process cron (SNAPSHOT_CRON=1, UTC 14,19,22,1,3) in server.js, no new dep.
- Public reads: GET /api/snapshot/:sport (cache-only) + GET /api/ticker (merges
TICKER_MANUAL pins) + Next proxies.
- GameCard swap: live Slate renders vyndr/GameCard (legacy kept for types only),
overlays locked grades onto game props → player name once + archetype badge +
"Graded Xh ago at -115 · Current 2.5 · ▲ TOWARD +1.0". Ungraded → "Awaiting next
scan", NO Read button. On-demand onGrade flow deleted.
- Ticker polls /api/ticker every 30s, graceful fallback to hardcoded items.
- NBA/WNBA: espnStatsAdapter free fallback (defensive parse → found:false on shape
mismatch) wired into resolvePlayerStats after the offline Python service.
Env: PROPLINE_API_KEY_1/2/3, VYNDR_INTERNAL_KEY, SNAPSHOT_CRON=1, TICKER_MANUAL.
Backend 2061 -> 2100 tests (+39), 173 suites. Web build clean (exit 0).

VYNDR 2.0 conversion, Phase G (the systems that make the design alive). All 5
wired. Frontend-only; zero backend changes.
- lib/parlayMath.js: correlation model (0.62/0.34/0.06/0) + parlayGrade penalty
+ grade->odds + combined odds (frontend; backend parlayService unchanged).
- lib/oddsFormat.js: fmtOdds across american/decimal/fractional/implied with the
totals-pass-through rule (safer than the prototype's parseAm, which would
mis-convert 228.5) + region presets.
- lib/prefs.js: applyPrefs sets <html data-*> (the S33 a11y CSS layer) + load/save.
- lib/liveTick.js: single tick engine (SSR/test-safe, no auto-start, fresh state).
- lib/checkout.js: checkoutUrl(plan).
- LiveLayer (useLive/LiveNumber/HeartbeatBar) under the Nav ticker; GlobalHosts in
layout applies prefs + registers __prefs/__goPaywall/__checkout + hosts the
Preferences and Paywall modals. Nav read-meter is now a paywall trigger.
Gotchas: useEffect can't return a Set.delete unsub directly (boolean != cleanup);
header grew to 124px so layout paddingTop + Slate sticky-top updated to match.
18 new tests. Backend 1872 -> 1890, 146 suites, zero regressions. Web build clean.
