Players Cog Refactor - Implementation Complete

Overview

The players.py cog has been successfully refactored from a monolithic 1,713-line file into 6 focused, maintainable modules. The refactor maintains all existing functionality while dramatically improving code organization and maintainability.

Usage

Running Tests

# Run all tests
python tests/players_refactor/run_tests.py all

# Run specific module
python tests/players_refactor/run_tests.py player_lookup

# Run with coverage
python tests/players_refactor/run_tests.py coverage

# Fast tests only (no integration)
python tests/players_refactor/run_tests.py fast

Loading Modules

All modules are designed to be loaded as individual Discord cogs:

# Load individual modules
await bot.load_extension('cogs.players.player_lookup')
await bot.load_extension('cogs.players.team_management')
await bot.load_extension('cogs.players.paperdex')
await bot.load_extension('cogs.players.standings_records')
await bot.load_extension('cogs.players.gauntlet')
await bot.load_extension('cogs.players.utility_commands')

Benefits Achieved
