Replaced awkward "lookback" pattern with clean "prepare → execute → save"
orchestration that captures state snapshots BEFORE each play.
Key improvements:
- Added per-team batter indices (away_team_batter_idx, home_team_batter_idx)
- Added play snapshot fields (current_batter/pitcher/catcher_lineup_id)
- Added on_base_code bit field for efficient base situation queries
- Created _prepare_next_play() method for snapshot preparation
- Refactored start_game() with hard lineup validation requirement
- Refactored resolve_play() with explicit 6-step orchestration
- Updated _save_play_to_db() to use snapshots (no DB lookbacks)
- Enhanced state recovery to rebuild from last play (single query)
- Added defensive lineup position validator
Benefits:
- No special cases for first play
- Single source of truth in GameState
- Saves 18+ database queries per game
- Fast state recovery without replay
- Complete runner tracking (before/after positions)
- Explicit orchestration (easy to debug)
Testing:
- Added 3 new test functions (lineup validation, snapshot tracking, batting order)
- All 5 test suites passing (100%)
- Type checking cleaned up with targeted suppressions for SQLAlchemy
Documentation:
- Added comprehensive "Type Checking & Common False Positives" section to CLAUDE.md
- Created type-checking-guide.md and type-checking-summary.md
- Added mypy.ini configuration for SQLAlchemy/Pydantic
