Changelog

/upgrade honesty pass + /upgrade-crypto producer

/upgrade stops advertising Elite like a buyable tier and surfaces the crypto path. New /upgrade-crypto command mints a NOWPayments invoice via the web API and returns a pay-with-crypto link. Elite stays locked until the 300-pick record threshold.

/upgrade/{pro,elite,success,cancel} landing pages

Four upgrade-flow pages that were 404 until now. Pro offers dual-path checkout (Whop card + Discord crypto command), Elite renders a live progress bar against the 300-settled-pick threshold, success and cancel close the NOWPayments redirect loop.

Sentry optional-dep wrapper + real /health data-plane probes

Bot and web both wire Sentry as an optional dep, no-op without SENTRY_DSN or the package. Bot /health now probes DB and Redis with 500ms timeouts and returns 503 when a configured dep is down so oncall gets paged on real outages, not just process liveness.

NOWPayments subscription tier upgrade IPN

Webhook parses order_id 'sub:<discord>:<tier>' on payment_status=finished and upserts users.tier plus fires the paid_pro funnel event. Fantasy escrow continues to route through /api/fantasy/ipn unchanged.

/status system status page

7 services, 5 SLA targets, recent-incident log. Pairs with /trust and /security.

Sports hubs: /soccer, /ncaab, /nfl, /mlb

Four dedicated sport pages. Each with markets we cover, what actually moves the needle, and cross-links to calculators.

Competitor comparisons: /compare/oddsjam + /compare/unabated

Two new deep-dive pages. /compare hub refreshed with card links and fixed stale 85/15 to 50/50 rev-share stat.

/trust + /security transparency pages

Public commitments (6 rules) + security posture (what we store, what we do not, controls, disclosure). Structured + accountable.

/tools hub with 4 calculators

Interactive CLV, no-vig, Kelly, and EV calculators. All client-side, all force-static for perf. No signup required.

Capper follow system

/follow-capper, /unfollow-capper, /my-cappers. Uses existing capper_follows schema. Handles null CLV gracefully until the cappers backfill lands.

/whatsnew + /learn slash commands

Discoverability commands. /whatsnew surfaces recent ships; /learn points to curated content + docs + Academy modules.

Academy modules 5-9

CLV, Bankroll + Kelly, Parlay Reality, Market Types, Line Movement. 25 new questions. Quarter-Kelly-first pedagogy.

DATA_STACK, ROADMAP, CAPPER_AGREEMENT, API

Four new reference docs. Which odds feeds we use and why. Tier 1-3 feature status with honest markers. Plain-English capper agreement. API scaffold.

Brand-noun disambiguation

/daily streak-bonus cap

Capped streak bonus at 100 XP per claim. Kills a multi-week exploit that could generate 10,000+ XP single claims.
