Ran the manual regrade with the internal key (thanks). Results are mixed
and the honest half matters more.
CONFIRMED WORKING — the probability layer is fully alive in production.
After POST /api/internal/snapshot/{mlb,wnba}: p_win, ev_pct, model_odds
and value are present on 32/32 live grades (mlb 7/7, wnba 25/25), up from
0/8 before. That fix is done.
NOT WORKING — the grade-range half did not land, and I am not going to
claim it did. The live distribution is unchanged (wnba B17/C8 before AND
after; mlb B4/C3), no A, no D, same four confidence values. Diagnosis:
matchup_grade is 0/25 on the live board, i.e. opp_rank_stat is still
null, so engine1's +/-1.0 opponent factor still never fires and the
ceiling is still +3.0 against the +4.5 an A requires.
Two distinct causes, both verified against the live ESPN feed:
1. refreshTeamStats CRASHED on every team — "buckets is not iterable",
captured 0 / errored 15. ESPN's current shape is results.stats =
an OBJECT with categories[], not an array. The old parser did for...of
on it. This was invisible until S63 gave the function its first
production caller. FIXED here (now captured 15 / errored 0) with a
regression test covering the current shape, the legacy array shape,
and empty payloads.
2. Even parsed correctly, the endpoint does not carry a
defensive-strength metric at all: defensive_rating, opponent_ppg,
pace and opponent_fg_pct all normalize to null — it returns only a
team's OWN stats. So defensive_rank_normalized cannot be computed and
opp_rank_stat remains underivable from this source. A test documents
the gap and will fail if that ever changes.
Consequence: A STILL DOES NOT EMIT, so the A-RATED marketing hold STAYS.
Reviving the opponent factor needs a different derivation (opponent
points allowed from scoreboard/schedule, or a different ESPN endpoint) —
logged as the concrete next item, not hand-waved as done.
Suite 278/3305 green.
