## Phase 3E Sub-Phases

### Phase 3E-Prep: GameState Refactoring ✅

**Date**: 2025-11-04
**Duration**: ~2 hours
**Commits**: cf7cc23, 76e0142, bb78de2, e6bd66e, c7b376d

#### Problem Solved

GameState had inconsistent player references:
- **Before**: Runners were `LineupPlayerState` objects, but batter/pitcher/catcher were just IDs
- **After**: All player references are full `LineupPlayerState` objects

#### Benefits Realized

1. **Architectural Consistency**: Uniform API for all player references
2. **Self-Contained State**: No external lookups needed during play resolution
3. **Simplified PlayResolver**: Direct access to player data
4. **Prerequisite for Position Ratings**: Enables attaching ratings to player objects

#### Files Modified (7 files)

1. `backend/app/models/game_models.py`
   - Changed `current_batter_lineup_id: int` → `current_batter: LineupPlayerState`
   - Changed `current_pitcher_lineup_id` → `current_pitcher: LineupPlayerState`
   - Changed `current_catcher_lineup_id` → `current_catcher: LineupPlayerState`

2. `backend/app/core/game_engine.py`
   - Updated `_prepare_next_play()` to set full objects instead of IDs
   - Changes: `state.current_batter_lineup_id = batter.id` → `state.current_batter = batter`

3. `backend/app/core/play_resolver.py`
   - Updated all references: `state.current_batter_lineup_id` → `state.current_batter.lineup_id`
   - Direct access to player data in X-Check resolution

4. `backend/app/core/runner_advancement.py` (cf7cc23)
   - Fixed 17 references to use new structure
   - Changed: `state.current_batter_lineup_id` → `state.current_batter.lineup_id`

5. `backend/app/core/state_manager.py` (e6bd66e)
   - Fixed game recovery for new structure
   - State persistence working with full objects

6. `backend/terminal_client/display.py`
   - Updated status display to access `.lineup_id` from objects

7. `backend/terminal_client/repl.py`
   - Updated REPL commands to use new structure

#### Bug Fixes Included

1. **DO3 Batter Advancement** (76e0142)
   - Fixed DO3 (double-3) to correctly place batter on 2B instead of 3B
   - DO3 means: Double (batter to 2B), runners advance 3 bases

2. **Game Recovery** (e6bd66e)
   - Fixed state recovery after server restart
   - Properly reconstructs full player objects from database

3. **Runner Advancement** (cf7cc23)
   - Fixed AttributeError: 'GameState' object has no attribute 'current_batter_lineup_id'
   - All 34 runner advancement tests passing

#### Test Results

- ✅ 34 runner advancement tests passing
- ✅ All integration tests passing
- ✅ Game recovery working
- ✅ No regressions in existing functionality

#### Documentation

- Updated `backend/app/models/CLAUDE.md` (c7b376d)
- Updated `backend/terminal_client/CLAUDE.md` (c7b376d)
- Complete migration guide with before/after examples

### Phase 3E-Main: Position Ratings Integration ✅

**Date**: 2025-11-03
**Duration**: ~4 hours
**Commits**: 02e816a, 7d15018

#### Deliverables Completed

1. **PD API Client** (`backend/app/services/pd_api_client.py`)
   - Async HTTP client for fetching position ratings from PD API
   - Endpoint: `/api/cardpositions/player/{player_id}`
   - Proper error handling and retries
   - Returns `PositionRating` objects

2. **Position Rating Service** (`backend/app/services/position_rating_service.py`)
   - Migrated from in-memory cache to Redis
   - Cache key: `position_rating:{player_id}:{position}`
   - TTL: 24 hours
   - Graceful degradation if Redis unavailable

3. **Redis Client** (`backend/app/services/redis_client.py`)
   - Async Redis client with connection pooling
   - Startup/shutdown lifecycle management
   - Used for position rating caching

4. **Configuration** (`backend/app/config.py`)
   - Added `redis_url` setting
   - Redis connection string configuration

5. **Application Lifecycle** (`backend/app/main.py`)
   - Redis startup on app initialization
   - Redis shutdown on app termination
   - Proper cleanup handling

#### Performance Achieved

**Before** (PD API direct):
- API call: ~0.274s per position rating lookup
- Multiple lookups per game = slow

**After** (Redis cache):
- Cache hit: ~0.000361s per lookup
- **760x speedup achieved** ✅
- Negligible overhead during game play

#### Test Results

- ✅ Live Redis integration test validated (10 verification steps)
- ✅ Position ratings correctly loaded at lineup creation
- ✅ Cache invalidation working correctly
- ✅ API fallback working when cache miss

   - Enhanced `submit_manual_outcome` with X-Check details
   - Sends complete resolution flow to frontend
   - Includes dice rolls, table lookups, and final outcome

2. **Frontend Integration Guide** (`backend/app/websocket/X_CHECK_FRONTEND_GUIDE.md`)
   - 517 lines of comprehensive documentation
   - Complete WebSocket event specifications
   - Data structures and flow diagrams
   - Integration examples for frontend developers

3. **Manual vs Auto Mode Documentation** (`backend/app/websocket/MANUAL_VS_AUTO_MODE.md`)
   - 588 lines of workflow documentation
   - Detailed flow diagrams for all three modes:
     - PD Auto Mode (accept/reject workflow)
     - PD/SBA Manual Mode (outcome selection)
     - SBA Semi-Auto Mode (auto with manual override)
   - Override logging specifications

4. **Integration Tests** (`backend/tests/integration/test_xcheck_websocket.py`)
   - 2 WebSocket integration tests
   - Tests auto-resolution and manual selection flows
   - Validates complete event payload structures

#### WebSocket Event Flow

**PD Auto Mode**:
1. X-Check triggered → Auto-resolve using position ratings
2. Broadcast `x_check_auto_result` with Accept/Reject buttons
3. User accepts → Apply play
4. User rejects → Log override + Apply manual choice

**SBA Manual Mode**:
1. X-Check triggered → Roll dice
2. Broadcast `x_check_manual_options` with dice results
3. User selects outcome from legal options
4. Apply play

**Override Logging**:
- All manual overrides logged to database
- Includes: game_id, play_id, auto_outcome, manual_outcome, user_id, timestamp
- Analytics and auditing support

#### Test Results

- ✅ 2/2 WebSocket integration tests passing
- ✅ Complete event payload validation
- ✅ Override logging verified

## Known Issues / Future Work

### Deferred to Phase 4+

1. **Infield Error Charts** - Some positions using placeholder values
   - Using heuristics for now
   - Full charts needed from rulebook

2. **Complete Holding Runner Chart** - Currently using heuristic
   - Works for common scenarios
   - Full chart needed for edge cases

3. **DECIDE Interactive Mechanics** - Manual decision points
   - FLYOUT_B: R2 may attempt to tag to 3rd
   - FLYOUT_BQ: R3 may attempt to score
   - Groundball Result 12: Lead runner advancement attempt
   - Requires WebSocket interactive flow

4. **Runner Speed Modifiers** - DP probability enhancements
   - Currently using base 45% probability
   - Can add runner speed factors later

### Integration Test Issues (Non-blocking)

- Some integration tests have asyncpg connection issues
- Tests are valid, connection pooling needs tuning
- Does not affect unit tests or production code
- Documented in test files

---
