# Major Domo v2 Release — 2026.3.17

**Date:** 2026-03-17
**Branch:** next-release → main (PR #81, 33 commits)
**Image:** `manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest`
**Server:** akamai (`/root/container-data/major-domo`)
**Deploy script:** `/mnt/NV2/Development/major-domo/discord-app-v2/.scripts/deploy.sh`

## Release Summary

Merged 33 commits from `next-release` into `main`. This was the first release cut since the next-release branch workflow was adopted. A merge conflict in `views/trade_embed.py` required manual resolution.

## Merge Conflict Resolution

**File:** `views/trade_embed.py`
**Cause:** Two divergent changes since the branch point:
- **main hotfix** (`e98a658`): Stripped all emoji from trade embed UI, added inline validation error details to Quick Status
- **next-release refactor** (`858663c`): Moved 42 lazy imports to top-level, which also touched this file and had emoji additions

**Resolution:** Kept main's hotfix (no emoji, detailed validation errors) as the authoritative version, then applied only the import refactor from next-release (hoisted lazy imports to top-level). Merged main into next-release first to resolve, then PR #81 merged cleanly.

## Key Changes in This Release

### Trades & Transactions
- Trade validation now checks projected rosters (next week + pending transactions)
- Player roster auto-detection in `/trade add-player` and `/trade supplementary` (was hardcoded to Major League, caused cascading validation errors)
- Team-prefixed validation errors: `[BSG] Too many ML players`
- Stale transaction cache fixed — TransactionBuilder re-fetches on each validation
- Stale roster cache fixed — refreshed before validation, invalidated after submission

### Scorecard Submission
- All spreadsheet data read before any DB writes (prevents partial state on formula errors)
- Detailed error messages shown to users instead of generic failure

### Commands & Permissions
- `/injury set-new` and `/injury clear` verify team ownership (admins bypass)
- `/admin-maintenance` maintenance mode flag implemented (but see Post-Deploy Issues below)
- Roster labels updated: Active Roster / Minor League / Injured List sections

### Bug Fixes
- Key plays score text: tied scores now show correctly
- `is_admin()` helper prevents AttributeError in DM contexts

### Performance & Code Quality
- Persistent aiohttp session for Giphy (eliminates per-call TCP/DNS overhead)
- 42 lazy imports moved to top-level across codebase
- Deduplicated command hash logic

### CI/CD
- `next-release` branch now triggers Docker builds via shared `docker-tags` composite action

## Post-Deploy Issues

### 1. Maintenance mode interaction_check was broken (FIXED)

**Discovered immediately after deploy.** RuntimeWarning in logs:
```
RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'CommandTree.interaction_check' was never awaited
```

**Root cause:** `@self.tree.interaction_check` is not a decorator — it's an async method meant to be overridden via subclassing. The check was never registered; maintenance mode was a complete no-op.

**Fix:** PR #83 — Created `MaintenanceAwareTree(CommandTree)` subclass, passed via `tree_cls=` to Bot constructor. Merged and redeployed same session.

**Issue:** #82 (closed)

### 2. Stale scorecards causing repeated channel updates (MITIGATED)

**Discovered after deploy.** The `#live-sba-scores` channel kept being cleared/hidden every 3 minutes despite no active games.

**Root cause:** `scorecards.json` on akamai contained 16 stale entries from March 9-17. The `data/` volume is mounted `:ro` in docker-compose (to protect Google Sheets credentials), which silently prevents `ScorecardTracker.save_data()` from persisting scorecard removals. Completed games accumulate indefinitely.

**Immediate fix:** Cleared the file on akamai:
```bash
ssh akamai
echo '{"scorecards": {}}' > /root/container-data/major-domo/storage/scorecards.json
```

**Permanent fix needed:** Split volume mount — credentials read-only, state files writable. Also add logging to the bare `except` in `save_data()`.

**Issue:** #85 (open)

## Rollback

Previous image digest (pre-release):
```
manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp@sha256:8e01dd6ee78442c1bbf06f3c291c7e8694e472683defb403b70f6d1e1a5facf1
```

Rollback command:
```bash
ssh akamai "cd /root/container-data/major-domo && \
  docker pull manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp@sha256:8e01dd6ee78442c1bbf06f3c291c7e8694e472683defb403b70f6d1e1a5facf1 && \
  docker tag manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp@sha256:8e01dd6ee78442c1bbf06f3c291c7e8694e472683defb403b70f6d1e1a5facf1 manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest && \
  docker compose up -d discord-app"
```

**Note:** Rolling back would reintroduce the broken `@self.tree.interaction_check` (no-op, not harmful) but would also lose all the trade validation fixes which are actively used by league GMs.
