# MLB The Show Companion Automation — 2026.4.01

**Date:** 2026-04-01
**Repo:** `cal/mlb-the-show-market-tracker` on Gitea
**Branch:** `main` (latest `f15e98a`)
**Deploy method:** Local script — `uv run scripts/grind.py`

## Release Summary

Two fixes to the companion app automation. The buy-orders command couldn't scroll through the market list because it used keyboard events instead of touch swipes. The exchange command now stops selecting cards once it has enough points for a pack.

## Changes

### Bug Fixes
- **Fixed buy-orders market scrolling** — replaced `KEYCODE_PAGE_DOWN` (keyboard event ignored by WebView) with `scroll_load_jiggle()` which uses touch swipes + a reverse micro-swipe to trigger lazy loading. This matches the working exchange scroll strategy. (`49fe7b6`)

### Optimizations
- **Early break in exchange card selection** — the selection loop now stops as soon as accumulated points meet the exchange threshold, avoiding unnecessary taps on additional card types the app won't consume. (`f15e98a`)
