Futures odds entry was split across two unrelated places: a standalone
/futures-odds page (which auto-ran the simulation on save and surfaced a
"Simulator is not ready" run failure as if the save itself had failed) and
the Bulk Simulator Inputs CSV importer on the simulator setup page.
Consolidate everything onto the Bulk Simulator Inputs card:
- batchUpsertParticipantSimulatorInputs now COALESCE-wraps every conflict
update column, so a partial paste (e.g. odds-only) updates just the columns
it provides instead of nulling out previously stored Elo/rating/etc.
- The bulk importer accepts sportsbook-style paste (one team per line ending
in American odds) when no CSV header is present, reusing the existing fuzzy
matcher, and auto-runs the simulation on save. A not-ready run is reported
as a successful save plus the readiness gap, never as a failed save.
- Retire the standalone /futures-odds page (now redirects to the simulator
setup page) and drop the redundant Futures links.
- Remove the now-dead futures-only model paths (batchSaveSourceOdds,
clearSourceOddsForParticipants, batchSaveFuturesOddsForSimulator,
batchSaveParticipantSimulatorSourceOdds); the EV-table bridge is preserved
by batchUpsertParticipantSimulatorInputs.
- Repoint the test to the consolidated path and assert the non-destructive
COALESCE behaviour.

When an admin entered futures (preseason) odds for a season that already
had Elo ratings stored, the simulator kept using the old Elo and silently
ignored the new odds. This affected any Elo-based simulator (e.g. NHL).
Root cause: resolveSourceElos() ranks a direct sourceElo above the
sourceOdds -> convertFuturesToElo branch, but batchSaveFuturesOddsForSimulator()
only cleared the bracket-seeding `rating`/`ratingMethod` — never the stale
`sourceElo`/`sourceEloMethod`. A manually entered Elo (method "direct") is not
treated as generated, so it survived and short-circuited the resolver.
Fix:
- batchSaveFuturesOddsForSimulator now also nulls sourceElo and strips
sourceEloMethod (both the pre-update and upsert-conflict paths), so the
existing futures -> Elo conversion drives the run.
- resolveSourceElos' sourceOdds branch now guards for >= 2 participants
(mirroring resolveRatings), so a lone-odds season falls through to the
configured missing-Elo strategy instead of getting a flat ~1500.
- batchSaveSourceOdds clears the legacy EV sourceElo and marks source as
futures_odds so the elo-ratings page won't resurrect a stale rating.
Adds unit coverage for odds-derived Elo, the single-participant guard, the
post-clear regression, generated-vs-direct sourceElo suppression, and the
new clearing behavior in batchSaveFuturesOddsForSimulator.

- Revert ncaaw-simulator to Barthag win probability formula; set
realistic rating bounds (ratingMin: 0.70, ratingMax: 0.97) so derived
ratings stay in the range where the formula behaves well
- Add batchSaveFuturesOddsForSimulator which clears all ratings (manual
and generated) before upserting sourceOdds, so futures odds always
drive the simulation rather than being silently overridden by existing
Barthag ratings from Simulator Setup
- Add clearSourceOddsForParticipants to zero out both tables for
participants excluded from a bulk import
- Add "Clear existing odds" checkbox to the bulk import card; applies
client-side on match and server-side on submit
- Fix missing sportsSeasonId filter in batchSaveFuturesOddsForSimulator
pre-clear UPDATE (could have wiped ratings across other seasons)
- Fix race condition: run batchSaveSourceOdds then
batchSaveFuturesOddsForSimulator sequentially so the simulator inputs
table always ends in the correct cleared state
- Fix Math.round in convertFuturesToElo collapsing Barthag-scale ratings
to 0 or 1; Elo callers already round after clamping
- Handle all-identical-odds edge case in convertFuturesToElo (assign
midpoint instead of throwing)
- Add missingRatingStrategy: worstKnownMinus to ncaaw_bracket manifest
so fallbackRatingDelta is live config, not dead
- Log warning in resolveRatings when only 1 participant has odds
- Reset clearExisting checkbox after applyMatches

Introduces three new schema tables (simulator_profiles,
sports_season_simulator_configs, season_participant_simulator_inputs),
a central model layer (app/models/simulator.ts), and a single runner
entry point so every simulator run follows the same prepare → simulate
→ persist → snapshot → recalculate flow.
Key additions:
- manifest.ts: per-simulator display names, default configs, required/
optional inputs, derivable-input declarations, and setup sections
- input-policy.ts: resolves sourceElo from projectedWins,
projectedTablePoints, or sourceOdds; resolves ratings from sourceOdds;
supports block / fallbackElo / averageKnown / worstKnownMinus strategies
- runner.ts: single entry point for admin simulation runs; materialises
derived inputs, normalises result columns, zeroes omitted participants,
snapshots EVs, and recalculates linked fantasy standings
- /admin/simulators: inventory page with per-season readiness and bulk run
- /admin/sports-seasons/:id/simulator: per-season setup page with readiness
summary, input-policy editor, raw JSON config override, and CSV bulk input
- NCAAM/NCAAW simulators now read ratings from season_participant_simulator_inputs,
falling back to the hardcoded name-keyed maps while DB data is being populated
- Clone flow copies simulator config by default; volatile inputs (odds, Elo)
only copied when explicitly requested
Code-review fixes included in this commit:
- source field in compatibility bridge checked with !== null instead of !== undefined
- sourceEloRequirementLabel no longer appends "configured fallback" when the
participant is already excluded from all resolved sources
- Duplicate inline label maps in input-policy.ts replaced with simulatorInputLabel
- save-config preserves existing inputPolicy when the submitted JSON omits it
- Input table truncation label added (Showing 20 of N)
- CSV description notes values must not contain commas
- N+1 comment added to listSportsSeasonSimulatorSummaries
- assertRegistrySchemaDriftFree called in manifest tests
- Runner test suite added covering happy path, already-running guard,
readiness failure, empty results, and error recovery with status reset
