Session Log

Terse one-line-per-change record of decisions made outside of normal commits (config changes, external dashboard setup, business decisions) — append to this, don’t rewrite history.

• 2026-06-18 — Fixed stripeWebhook missing checkout.session.completed subscription (new signups weren’t upgrading); fixed missing IAM invoker permission (403 on all webhook calls); verified end-to-end with a real test-mode payment.
• 2026-06-18 — Switched support contact from Grant’s personal email to theroundrobinhelp@gmail.com across legal pages, about page, footer, and billing-portal error.
• 2026-06-18 — Resolved BMaC keep-vs-retire question: kept as supplemental donation option (not redundant — payouts confirmed routing through the same Stripe account as subscriptions, no tax-separation risk).
• 2026-06-18 — Set up external tax tracking (Google Sheets, outside this repo) and quarterly estimated-tax TickTick reminders for Hansell Ventures LLC; deferred Stripe→Sheets automation until real subscriber volume exists.
• 2026-06-18 — Migrated AdSense from a personal Individual account (ca-pub-1386753632665435, closed) to a new Business account under Hansell Ventures LLC (ca-pub-7126063136941605, pending Google review) — Individual→Business can’t be converted in place. Updated publisher ID in _layouts/default.html, assets/js/ad-slot.js, bracket/src/app.jsx.
• 2026-06-18 — Mobile UI/UX audit closing out 3 TickTick tickets: added isPhoneViewport responsive logic to bracket/view/src/app.jsx (previously had none, unlike Bracket Studio); enlarged + regrouped Bracket Studio’s phone action-sheet buttons (FFO/NFO/AC inline, CMP/Pool separated, all ≥36-44px); added team logos throughout predictions/index.html from the previously-unused logos/ directory. Verified via local Playwright screenshots at 390px.
• 2026-06-18 — Refreshed homepage hero copy and Bracket Studio card description (see Project Overview for the new tagline); retired the old “the methodology behind the madness” slogan.
• 2026-06-18 — Imported a Claude Design mockup (“Bracket Studio Redesign.html”) and implemented it in bracket/src/app.jsx: desktop/tablet header switched from labeled buttons to a circular icon-only toolbar with hover tooltips (new IconBtn helper, defined outside App alongside TeamCard/CompareCard); board’s Compare Resumes / Seedlines / Bubble sections split into tabs (new boardTab state, default "compare") with per-tab action zones, panels kept mounted via display:none (not unmounted) so drag-and-drop stays live; keyboard shortcuts (C, F/N/A, seed-number keys) now also call setBoardTab(...) to switch tabs; Help modal rewritten with Toolbar/Board Tabs sections. Mobile (isPhoneViewport) and narrow single-pane mode (isNarrowViewport) intentionally untouched — mockup was desktop-only. Sort strip, ghost conference pills, and range sliders already matched the mockup pre-existing, no changes needed there. Pushed to main as commit 94c0076. Logged as a completed TickTick task in the UI & UX column.
• 2026-06-19/20 (retroactive) — Hall of Fame tool, several rounds of eligibility-math and data-correctness fixes: corrected an off-by-one in Modern-Era/Senior Pool eligibility timing (validated against Drew Brees’s real first-ballot induction); fixed a DEFENSE_POSITIONS gap ("DL" label missing, truncating J.J. Watt-style careers) and a second one ("MLB" missing, affecting 104 players); fixed fetch_offense_seasons() silently dropping zero-stat seasons for core special-teamers (Matt Slater), requiring a roster-first join instead of stats-first; fixed the Kellen Winslow Sr./Jr. name collision with an eligibility-timing plausibility check in attach_label(); added a career_fully_observed feature so the model stops treating honors as a full substitute for production when a player’s entire career (not just the tail end) is inside the 1999+ stats window, fixing Matt Slater’s overrated score.
• 2026-06-20 — Hall of Fame table redesign: split the single “Committee Prediction” cell into separate sortable Projected Induction Year / Induction Chance columns; replaced the auto-written “Career Summary” column (now modal-only) with Award Points and a new per-player Signature Stat (pick_signature_stat() in build_hof_data.py — compares the position-typical raw counting stat against Pro Bowls/All-Pro/Award Points/Championships/Playoff Wins within the same peer group, keeps whichever the player is most exceptional at; fixed a same-peer-group bug along the way that was unfairly favoring honors); added a 4-bucket Eligibility filter (Enshrined/Eligible Now/Projected/Not Yet Eligible) so a not-yet-eligible player with an active queue projection (e.g. Adrian Peterson, Tom Brady) has a real bucket instead of disappearing when “Eligible” was checked.
• 2026-06-21 — Hall of Fame trust/data-richness pass: fixed a real bug in simulate_induction_queue() where a candidate never aged out of the Modern-Era pool into the unprojected Senior Pool track, letting weak cases get handed unrealistic far-out predicted years (Hines Ward: 2041 → 2035 after the fix); added a persistent first_eligible_year field powering new “Nth year of eligibility” displays; rewrote the “Next Up” card (HoFW + eligibility year + overall chance per candidate, plus a “Just Missed” list from the existing on_bubble data); converted the Eligibility checkboxes into a multi-select dropdown; added a trust-building callout near the table explaining HoFW’s real inputs; added colored per-year tags to Projected Induction Year; added inline unit/scale clarification to the modal’s Career Value / Peak Value rows; strengthened the methodology copy distinguishing the deterministic queue-simulation snapshot from the calibrated induction_chance probability.
• 2026-06-21 — Fixed Class of 2026 showing only Luke Kuechly instead of all five real inductees (Brees, Fitzgerald, Kuechly, Vinatieri, Craig): fixed a RET-status roster bug inflating Drew Brees’s last_season by a year; decoupled eligible_retired()/assign_track() from CURRENT_SEASON via new LAST_REAL_CLASS_YEAR constant (was silently dropping recently-retired real inductees like Fitzgerald from the entire modeled pool); added MANUAL_INDUCTEE_OVERRIDES for Craig (pre-1999 career) and Vinatieri (kicker, unscored position) — see scripts/HOF_FIXES.md for all three. Re-ran build_hof_data.py and committed the regenerated hof_data.json.
• 2026-06-21 — Hall of Fame model correction pass driven by Grant’s spot-check of 7 specific players: fixed championships’ sign-flipped collinear coefficient; added a value-floor discount on Pro Bowl/All-Pro/All-Decade credit for players whose career_value is weak relative to established peers; added a small-sample confidence shrink for active players’ early seasons. Net result: Mahomes now scores clearly above the 100 baseline (was barely-Lock), Calvin Johnson moved into Lock tier, Matt Slater dropped well below Urlacher/Watt (was above them), Frank Gore moved into Borderline, Cordarrelle Patterson dropped out of Strong Case into Borderline, and Ja’Marr Chase/Justin Jefferson both dropped behind DeAndre Hopkins. Philip Rivers/Eli Manning/Ben Roethlisberger stayed in Long Shot despite two further attempts — see scripts/HOF_FIXES.md for why those were reverted instead of forced. Cross-validated AUC-ROC 0.999 / average precision 0.89 (up from 0.877), no regressions on previously-fixed reference cases (Gronkowski, Hines Ward). Re-ran build_hof_data.py and committed the regenerated hof_data.json + hof_model_coefficients.json.
• 2026-06-21 — Follow-up fixes from Grant: (1) found and fixed a real data bug, not a tuning issue — Jason Peters was modeled as a one-season TE (his real career was 17 seasons at tackle after a rookie-year position conversion), with his real career honors attached to that phantom season; added ol_predominant_player_ids() to exclude players whose roster history is predominantly an unmodeled OL position, which removes him from the modeled pool entirely (correct — same bucket as kickers/punters, not yet eligible for MANUAL_INDUCTEE_OVERRIDES since he isn’t enshrined). (2) Added a RING_LOGIT_WEIGHT-driven post-hoc championship bonus, gated by its own value-floor discount curve, to credit Roethlisberger/Gronkowski for their rings without reopening the Slater/Patterson loophole. Gronkowski moved from Strong Case (81.8) to Lock (96.3), now above Jason Witten as intended. Roethlisberger moved up (41.3→45.8) but stayed Long Shot — pushing further trades off against Cordarrelle Patterson, who’s now right at the Strong/Borderline cusp (76.2 vs. ~75.8 threshold); see scripts/HOF_FIXES.md for why 0.5 was kept as the balance point. CV AUC-ROC 0.9989 / average precision 0.913 (both slightly improved). Top-25 trr_value and the prior round’s reference cases (Slater/Urlacher/Watt ordering, Chase/Jefferson/Hopkins ordering) checked clean, no regressions. Re-ran build_hof_data.py and committed the regenerated hof_data.json + hof_model_coefficients.json.
• 2026-06-21 — Pre-1999 Hall of Fame coverage pass, using Grant’s new Stathead license: added 177 new MANUAL_INDUCTEE_OVERRIDES entries to build_hof_data.py for real Pro Football Hall of Famers whose entire career predates the 1999+ stats window and who weren’t otherwise represented (previously only Roger Craig and Adam Vinatieri existed in this bucket). Sourced via one bulk Stathead Player Season Finder query (match=player_season_combined, is_hof=Y passed as an explicit URL param — checking the radio button via JS didn’t actually get included in the submitted query string, a real bug worth remembering if Stathead is scripted again) across year_min=1920–year_max=1998, giving career years/position for 174 of 177 targets; the remaining 3 (Guy Chamberlin, Jimmy Conzelman, Ray Flaherty — all pre-1930s player-coaches absent from Stathead’s HOF query) got manual best-effort entries from public-record career years, flagged as such in their note field. Target list derived by diffing the full 387-entry Wikipedia HOF roster against hof_data.json’s existing covered names, excluding non-player roles (coach/owner/GM/etc.) and OL/kicker/punter positions (no scoring pipeline). Position labels derived from Wikipedia’s own text description rather than mapping legacy Stathead position codes, which mishandled pre-modern-era positions (e.g. Sammy Baugh’s single-wing “TB” code reads as QB, not RB; Don Hutson’s “LE” code has no clean modern mapping). Verified zero duplicate names/player_ids against the 177 new entries and the existing 10,216 covered names; confirmed the edited file parses as valid Python (179 total override entries: Craig + Vinatieri + the 177 new). Pipeline not yet re-run — this sandbox’s network allowlist blocks several nfl_data_py calls the script depends on (raw.githubusercontent.com CSV/parquet fetches, GitHub release binaries for import_draft_picks/import_schedules/import_team_desc/import_ids/ import_seasonal_pfr/import_snap_counts), so hof_data.json still needs python3 scripts/build_hof_data.py run locally (per the existing “not run in CI” convention) and the regenerated JSON committed before these 177 players actually appear on the live site.
• 2026-06-21 — Fixed a follow-up bug found right after the 177-override pass: Jerry Rice still showed seasons_played: 6 post-fix because he’s a different bucket than that pass covered — his career spans 1999 (debuted 1985, retired 2004) rather than predating it entirely, so he was never eligible for MANUAL_INDUCTEE_OVERRIDES. Traced and confirmed his actual HoFW score was already correct (227.4, Lock, rank 1/2035 WRs) — only the bio span was wrong. Fixed fetch_draft_honors()/ build_player_features() to pull real debut/retirement years from import_draft_picks()’s season/to columns (covers draft classes back to 1979) and extend the truncated span instead of replacing the model output — see scripts/HOF_FIXES.md for the at-least-53-other-players scope and the still-open Signature Stat gap (needs a real PFR/Stathead career-totals scan, written up for a follow-up pass). Code change made, pipeline not yet re-run — same sandbox network restriction as the 177-override pass; needs python3 scripts/build_hof_data.py run locally and the regenerated hof_data.json committed.
