Commissioners can now opt in to having a draft start automatically at
its scheduled draftDateTime rather than requiring a manual "Start Draft"
click. The 1-second timer loop checks for eligible seasons each tick and
calls the new shared startDraft() service, which is also used by the
existing commissioner HTTP route.
- Add autoStartDraft boolean to seasons table (migration 0108)
- Extract core start logic into app/services/draft-autostart.ts so both
the API route and the timer can call it without AsyncLocalStorage
- Add checkAndAutoStartDrafts() to the timer tick; disables autoStartDraft
and stops retrying if no draft order is set at fire time
- Guard against null draftDateTime in both the timer query (isNotNull)
and server actions (autoStartDraft forced false when datetime is null)
- Add "Auto-start at scheduled time" checkbox to league creation wizard
(step 3) and league settings, gated on date+time being set
- Show countdown + "Start Now" button in draft room when auto-start is
scheduled; reuses the existing nowForPauseCheck 1-second ticker
- Show orange warning banner on league homepage to commissioners when
auto-start is within 1 hour and no draft order has been configured
