Problem

ESPN's IndyCar standings aggregate lags hours behind a race finish. After Mid-Ohio, Álex Palou was stuck at 374 points an evening later — his true total was 409 (P1). Our 2-hour sync cadence isn't the bottleneck; ESPN's aggregation itself is stale.

Change

New OcBlacktopIndyCarStandingsAdapter reads the fresher OC Blacktop feed (x-api-key, free tier) and maps drivers to the existing FetchedStandingsRecord shape — nothing downstream changes.
Falls back to the existing ESPN IndyCarStandingsAdapter on any failure: missing key, network error, empty payload, or schema drift. A flaky third party never breaks the sync.
Per-row validation throws on missing id/name or unparseable position/points (→ fallback) rather than silently overwriting real standings with zeros, while still keeping legitimate 0-point backmarkers.
Wired into getAdapter() for indycar_standings; OCBLACKTOP_API_KEY documented in .env.example.

Verification

npm run test:run — 86 pass, incl. 6 new adapter tests (mapping, fallback on non-OK/empty/schema-drift/no-key, zero-point preserved).
npm run typecheck — clean.
Live: adapter returns 33 drivers, Palou 409/P1 against the real API.

ESPN's IndyCar standings aggregate lags hours behind a race finish (Palou
stuck at 374 an evening after Mid-Ohio, vs. his true 409/P1). Add an
OcBlacktopIndyCarStandingsAdapter that reads the fresher OC Blacktop feed and
delegates to the existing ESPN IndyCarStandingsAdapter on any failure (missing
key, network error, empty payload, or schema drift) so a flaky third party
never breaks the sync.

Per-row validation throws on missing id/name or unparseable position/points to
route to the fallback rather than overwriting real standings with zeros, while
still keeping legitimate 0-point backmarkers.
