## Summary
- **MLB simulator seeding now responds to projected wins**: replaced hardcoded FanGraphs `p_div`/`p_wc` probability draws with Binomial regular-season simulation. Admin-entered projected wins (via Elo) now drive both playoff _qualification_ odds and in-bracket game win probability, not just the latter.
- **Reads current standings mid-season**: `getRegularSeasonStandings` is called so synced `wins`/`gamesPlayed` feed into each simulation iteration's projected final standings.
- **27× seeding performance improvement**: `sampleBinomial` now uses a Box-Muller normal approximation for `n ≥ 30`, dropping the seeding phase from ~243M to ~3M `Math.random()` calls per 50K-sim run (pre-season, 162 remaining games × 30 teams).
- **Missing-standings warning**: when standings exist for some teams but not all recognized ones (partial sync), a `logger.warn` now surfaces which teams are falling back to 0 wins / 162 remaining instead of silently distorting seeding.
- **Cleanup**: `eloToRDif` calls `rawWinRateFromElo` instead of inlining the same formula.
- **Simulate errors surface inline**: moved simulation action from dedicated route to parent page `intent="simulate"` so errors display inline rather than crashing to an error page.
## Test plan
- [ ] `npm run test:run -- mlb-simulator` — 49 tests pass
- [ ] `npm run typecheck` — clean
- [ ] Trigger a simulation from the admin panel for an MLB season with projected wins entered; confirm teams with higher projected wins show meaningfully higher EVs
- [ ] Confirm that running simulate with no projected wins entered (pre-season defaults) still produces a valid bracket
- [ ] Check logs after simulating a season where some teams lack standings rows — confirm warning appears
