- Add NashMixture and MetaWeaknesses fields to meta.Description and
compute them from island population proportions (§10.2 PSRO)
- Update behaviorDistance to support N-D vectors for 4-D MAP-Elites
grid (aggression, economy, exploration, formation)
- Wire NashMixture/MetaWeaknesses through FromMetaDescription converter
so they actually reach the LLM prompt (was dead code before)
- Align LLM prompt with plan §15.1/§15.5: correct combat rules
(focus-fire), fog of war, HTTP protocol section, Nash mixture target
- Fix diversity normalization from sqrt(2) (2-D) to 2.0 (4-D max)
- Rename handleUIFeedback to handleCreateFeedback (§13.6 naming)
- Update tests for new fields and corrected prompt text

Add perspective dropdown (Omniscient + per-player) that filters the
replay view to a single player's fog of war, hiding cells/bots outside
their vision radius. Add minimap canvas in the corner showing the full
grid with walls, energy, cores, bots, fog overlay, and a viewport
rectangle. Clicking the minimap pans the main canvas and zooms in.

§16.13: Picture-in-Picture replay mini-player
When navigating back to a replay page where PIP was active, the
restoration logic was creating duplicate canvas elements (the
placeholder from the new DOM and the restored canvas from PIP).
Changes:
- Remove placeholder canvas before inserting restored PIP canvas
- Set 'replay-canvas' ID on restored canvas for TheaterMode and other consumers
- Use consistent 'actualCanvas' variable throughout initialization
The full PIP flow now works:
1. User starts replay on /watch/replay/:id
2. Clicks nav link → canvas reparents to floating mini-player
3. Playback continues uninterrupted
4. Click "return" → canvas reparents back to inline wrapper
5. Replay resumes at same tick

Add formatSeasonChampionshipContext helper to inject season progress,
championship bracket positioning, and seed lines into LLM prompts.
Add §13.2 critical moment / turning point summary to the match-of-the-week
section of buildSpotlightPrompt. These complete the §15.1/§15.5 alignment
for structured contextual match data in sports-journalism-style prompts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Restore detailed system prompt constant framing the LLM as a sports
journalist covering an emergent bot league, with specific guidance on
ELO deltas, rivalry context, head-to-head records, and scouting-style
lineage framing. Enrich per-arc prompts with critical moment summaries
(§13.2), community tactical hints, ELO before/after deltas, and
head-to-head records. Fix rivalry arc to include ELO context for both
bots. Ensure fall arc shows both wins and losses in key match listings.

Generates contextual turning-point descriptions for matches used in blog
narratives and rivalry chronicles (§13.2). Summarizes close scores, ELO
upsets, non-standard end conditions, and marathon matches.

Two functions referenced in generateLLMChronicle were undefined:
- getCurrentSeasonTheme: returns the active season's theme string
- buildHeadToHeadFromArc: computes W/L head-to-head records for a bot
against all opponents from match data, enriching LLM narrative prompts
Also improves the sports journalist system prompt with more detailed
coverage style guidance for better narrative quality.

- Add data/meta/rivalries.json to R2 upload list in uploadMetaJSONToR2
- Add attachCommunityHints() to narrative.go to enrich story arcs with
highest-upvote community tactical hints (upvotes >= 3, idea/mistake types)
- Fix detectRivalryArcs() key separator from "-" to "|" to avoid UUID
hyphen collisions when parsing bot ID pairs
- Fix partitionBots() call sites in bot_strategies_phase13.go to use
struct field access (.friendly, .enemy) matching updated return type
generator.go already contains generateArchetypes, generateCommunityHints,
and generateMatchFeedback (all called from generateAllIndexes). main.go
uploads all four outputs to R2 on every build cycle.

Changed RetirementCheckInterval from 1 hour to 24 hours to align
with the 7-day low-rating rule specified in §10.8. The retirement
automation is already fully implemented:
- startRetirementTicker: runs periodic checks (now daily)
- EnforcePolicy: retires bots below rating threshold (800) for 7
consecutive days, enforces 50-bot population cap
- queryConsecutiveLowRating: uses rating_history table to track
consecutive days below threshold
- RetireBot: handles K8s manifest deletion via declarative-config
- TestEnforcePolicy_CapEnforcement: integration test for cap enforcement

- Add filterReplayDebug() to server.go: strips debug fields from replay JSON
for bots with debug_public=false; owner bypass via Bearer <api_secret>
- handleRegister and handleBotPatch already accept/persist debug_public
- PATCH /api/bot/{id} route lets owners toggle flag post-registration
- Registration form exposes debug_public checkbox (web/src/pages/register.ts)
- BotProfile and RegisterRequest types include debug_public (api-types.ts)
- Index builder reads and emits debug_public in /data/bots/{id}.json
- Replay viewer debug panel visibility controlled by server-filtered JSON
- Add ReplayPlayer to type imports in replay-viewer.ts
- Add explicit type annotation for entry parameter in replay.ts transcript map
- Fixes TypeScript compilation errors for §15.3 screen reader transcript feature
Implements the full map lifecycle audit as a hourly ticker in the
matchmaker:
1. updateMapFairnessStats: recompute per-slot win counts from completed
matches into the map_fairness table
2. flagUnfairMaps: flag maps where any slot deviates >10pp from expected
(1/N) across 80+ matches → status='probation'
3. retireDislikedMaps: force-retire maps with >20 net negative votes
4. pruneLowEngagementMaps: monthly bottom-10% engagement prune per tier
5. promoteClassicMaps: top-5 all-time engagement, 3+ months → 'classic'
Matchmaker already filters retired maps and gives probation maps 50%
reduced selection probability in selectMapLRU.

§13.3: Display "Narrated" badge on enriched matches in bot profile
recent matches section, matching the match list page behavior.
- Add enriched badge rendering to renderMatchItem() in bot-profile.ts
- Add .enriched-badge CSS style (pink/magenta color to match
playlist category styling)
The index builder already sets the Enriched flag via isMatchEnriched()
which checks R2 for commentary file existence. The match list page
(matches.ts) already displays this badge.

Adds generatePredictionsOpen to acb-index-builder, writing:
- data/predictions/open.json — upcoming predictable matches
Queries pending matches that are "predictable":
- Both bots in top 20
- Rivalry matches (3+ previous h2h matches)
- Series matches
- Evolved bot vs top-10 human-written bot
Output schema:
- updated_at — timestamp of generation
- matches — array of {match_id, bot_a, bot_b, a_rating, b_rating, open_until, head_to_head_record}
Limits to next 10 matches to keep file small. Refreshes every ~15 min by the index builder.

Add crane CLI to the runtime Dockerfile so the index builder can pull the
latest SPA shell from the Forgejo container registry on each cycle. The
existing syncSiteBuild logic checks for a newer image digest, extracts
the dist/ assets via crane export, and overlays generated JSON data files
on top before deploying to Cloudflare Pages.
- Dockerfile: install go-containerregistry crane binary (v0.20.2)
- sitebuild.go: new file with syncSiteBuild, craneDigest, craneExport,
digest caching, fallback to baked-in /app/web/dist
- main.go: wire initCraneAuth at startup, replace hardcoded webDistDir
with syncSiteBuild call in runBuildCycle
- sitebuild_test.go: 18 tests for extractRegistry, digest caching,
fallback logic, crane auth config, and copyWebAssets overlay behavior

The bestCandidate function allowed game count to override pairing recency
when both candidates had non-zero LastPairedAt values. Per §6.1, pairing
recency must be the primary criterion with game count only breaking ties.
Also adds 10 tests covering: never-paired preference, oldest-pairing
preference, game count tiebreaking, Pareto distribution verification,
multi-opponent selection, and regression test for the priority inversion.

Per plan §10.8 (deployment pipeline) and §9.8 (Argo Workflows):
- Add waitForWorkflowCompletion() that polls Argo Workflow API
- Add getWorkflowStatus() to fetch workflow phase/status
- Update Promote() to wait for workflow completion before inserting bot record
- Update Promote() to wait for K8s deployment readiness (waitForDeployment)
- Update triggerArgoWorkflow() to return workflow name for polling
- Add acb-evolved-bot-deploy-workflowtemplate.yml to manifests
The promotion flow now:
1. Writes bot source to bots/evolved/<bot_name>/
2. Commits and pushes source to git
3. Triggers Argo WorkflowTemplate
4. Waits for workflow completion (build + manifest commit)
5. Waits for K8s deployment to be ready
6. Inserts bot record into bots table
7. Updates programs table with bot_id/bot_name
This ensures evolved bots have running containers before being marked active.
Adds generateMapsIndex to acb-index-builder, writing:
- maps/index.json — active/probation/classic maps grouped by player count
- maps/{map_id}.json — full map definition with walls, cores, energy_nodes
Queries maps.map_json column for geometry; adds RawJSON field to MapData
and updates fetchMaps to select it.

Implementation complete:
1. engine/thumbnail.go - New thumbnail rendering package
- GenerateMatchThumbnail() creates 640x360 PNG thumbnails
- Renders grid, bots, cores, walls, energy with player colors
- SelectThumbnailTurn() chooses most interesting turn
- Pure Go stdlib image rendering (no canvas required)
2. cmd/acb-worker - Upload thumbnails to B2 alongside replays
- uploadThumbnail() generates PNG and uploads to B2
- Key: thumbnails/{match_id}.png, content-type: image/png
- Called after match completion, non-blocking on failure
3. cmd/acb-index-builder/deploy.go - Promote thumbnails to R2
- promoteRecentReplays() copies both replays AND thumbnails from B2 to R2
- Thumbnails promoted to warm cache alongside replay promotion
4. cmd/acb-index-builder/generator.go - Populate thumbnail URLs
- buildPlaylistMatch() now includes thumbnail_url field
- URL pattern: https://r2.aicodebattle.com/thumbnails/{match_id}.png
- Enables playlist cards and embed OG tags to show preview images

Replace random 2-player pairing with the full §6.1 algorithm:
- Seed selection: bot with oldest last-match timestamp (tiebreak: lowest bot ID)
- Format selection: seed's least-played player count among {2, 3, 4, 6}
- Opponent selection: Pareto 80%/16-rank skill proximity + oldest last-pairing
with seed + fewest 24h games for game-count balance
- Map selection: least-recently-used active map for the chosen player count,
with map_scores.last_used_at updated after each match
- Random player slot assignment for all participant counts

Max-aggression strategy with unconditional attack: every unit charges the
nearest enemy, never retreats, and presses engagements within attack range.
Fixed self-collision bug by reserving all starting positions and freeing
them as bots move away. Falls back to enemy core rushing when no enemies
are visible, with exploratory spreading when no targets exist.

Two bugs in the Opportunist bot strategy:
1. retreatMove: when a lone bot is surrounded by enemies with no nearby
allies, all passable directions scored below the -1 initial threshold
due to flat enemy penalties. Fixed by scoring distance-from-enemies
as a positive value (further = better) instead of a flat penalty,
ensuring the bot always picks the safest direction.
2. attackMove: BFS could never reach enemy targets because the passable
function excluded all enemy positions. The target IS an enemy, so the
path was unreachable. Fixed by wrapping passable to treat the target
position as passable during attack pathfinding.
All 19 tests now pass, including TestComputeMovesRetreat and
TestComputeMovesNearbyAdvantageAttack.
