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)

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

   • 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:

• 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

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
