Feature Context: Initial Implementation

Configuration

• Development mode: Automated
• Execution mode: Orchestrator
• Strategy: Big Bang
• Build: dotnet build Marathon.sln
• Test: dotnet test Marathon.sln
• Lint: dotnet format Marathon.sln --verify-no-changes
• Run: dotnet run --project src/Marathon.Hosts.WpfBlazor
• Implementer models: Sonnet 4.6 (backend), Opus (frontend)
• Reviewer model: Sonnet 4.6

Customer Constraints

• Source: marathonbet.by — anonymous scraping (no login). ToS risk acknowledged by customer.
• Output: Excel files matching customer's wide-column spec (Bet_Match_Win_1, Bet_Period-1_Win_Fora_2_Value, etc.) with date-range filenames.
• Storage: customer accepted SQLite-with-Excel-export instead of Excel-as-database (decided 2026-05-05).
• UI tech: Blazor Hybrid (changed from initial WPF assumption — better for web migration).
• Locale: RU + EN.
• Scope: analyze-only initially; design IBetPlacer extension point for future betting.
• Configurability: every variable parameter (polling, concurrency, retry, UA, retention, thresholds, locale) goes in appsettings.json + Settings UI page.

Current State

Repo just initialized. Single main commit with .gitignore + README.md + CLAUDE.md. Working on feature/initial-implementation branch. No source code yet — Phase 0 starts with scraping research, no implementation.

Temporary Workarounds

(none yet)

Cross-Phase Dependencies

• Phase 1 (Domain) is the foundation; all later phases reference domain types.
• Phase 2 (Storage) & Phase 3 (Scraping) depend only on Phase 1 — can run in parallel.
• Phase 4 (Application + Workers) depends on Phase 2 + Phase 3.
• Phase 5 (UI Shell) depends on Phase 1 only — can run in parallel with 2/3.
• Phase 6 (Event Browsing UI) depends on Phase 4 + Phase 5.
• Phase 7 (Anomaly) depends on Phase 4 (snapshot storage) + Phase 6 (UI patterns).
• Phase 8 (Results) depends on Phase 6.
• Phase 9 (Packaging) is final — runs full build + test suite.

Deferred Work

• Bet placing (explicit out-of-scope; design extension point only).
• Authenticated scraping (anonymous now; IOddsScraper impl is swappable).
• Multi-bookmaker support (only marathonbet.by; abstraction allows future expansion).
• PostgreSQL backend (SQLite for now; IRepository<T> abstraction allows swap).

Failed Approaches

• Public results / archive endpoint — does NOT exist. Tested https://www.marathonbet.by/su/results, /su/results/, /su/results.htm — all return HTTP 404. No /archive, /history links anywhere in the public HTML either. Phase 8 deviation: the Results loader cannot back-fill from an archive — it must poll each event detail page until eventJsonInfo.matchIsComplete=true and snapshot resultDescription at that moment. Phase 8 implementer must revise the subplan accordingly.
• JSONP /su/liveupdate/popular/ endpoint — exposes only refresh signals ({"modified":[{"type":"refreshPage"}],"updated":<ts>}), not actual odds. Cannot be used as a JSON odds source. Use it only as a "something changed" hint to trigger a full event-detail re-scrape.
• Anonymous WebSocket (STOMP) at /su/websocket/endpoint is documented in initData.stomp but appears to require an authenticated session (PUNTER-SESSION-HASH cookie); we did not test it but the customer's anonymous scraping constraint makes it unsuitable anyway.

Phase Execution Log

Phase	Agent	Model	Test Writer	Parallel	Notes
Phase 0	phase-implementer	Opus	⏭️ Skipped (research only)	—	✅ Done 2026-05-05. Outputs: spike/SCRAPE_FINDINGS.md + spike/SCHEMA_DRAFT.md + 7 local fixtures. Anonymous scraping confirmed feasible; HttpClient+AngleSharp recommended; no Playwright needed; no public results page found (Phase 8 deviation noted).
Phase 1	phase-implementer	Sonnet 4.6	⏭️ Skipped (Big Bang)	—	✅ Done 2026-05-05. 9 projects (5 src + 4 test). 96 domain tests passed. Key decisions: BetScope sealed hierarchy, ScheduledAt=UTC+3 (Moscow), OddsValue rejects zero. Deviations: slnx auto-created alongside sln, WPF App.xaml.cs needs FQ Application type.
Phase 2	phase-implementer	Sonnet 4.6	⏭️ Skipped (Big Bang)	✅ With 3 + 5	—
Phase 3	phase-implementer	Sonnet 4.6	⏭️ Skipped (Big Bang)	✅ With 2 + 5	—
Phase 4	phase-implementer	Sonnet 4.6	⏭️ Skipped (Big Bang)	—	✅ Done 2026-05-05. 4 use cases, 3 BackgroundService pollers, InfrastructureModule, ApplicationModule, reflection wiring removed. 202/202 tests green (+17 new).
Phase 5	phase-implementer-frontend	Opus	⏭️ Skipped (Big Bang)	✅ With 2 + 3	Uses frontend-design skill
Phase 6	phase-implementer-frontend	Opus	⏭️ Skipped (Big Bang)	—	Uses frontend-design skill
Phase 7	phase-implementer (split if needed)	Sonnet/Opus	⏭️ Skipped (Big Bang)	—	UI portion uses Opus
Phase 8	phase-implementer (split if needed)	Sonnet/Opus	⏭️ Skipped (Big Bang)	—	UI portion uses Opus
Phase 9	phase-implementer	Sonnet 4.6	✅ Final phase tests	—	Full build + test enforced

Environment & Runtime Notes

• Windows 10, PowerShell 5.1 default shell, Bash also available.
• git configured globally; remote origin = https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/maraphon-app.git.
• Note: home directory (C:\Users\Alexei) is itself a git repo (likely accidental). The maraphon-app local .git overrides it for this directory tree.
• .NET SDK assumed installed; if Phase 1 fails on dotnet --version, install or document in CONTEXT.md.

Implementation Notes

Phase 1 (Solution skeleton + Domain model, 2026-05-05)

• .NET 10 SDK creates .slnx by default. dotnet new sln produces Marathon.slnx (new XML format), not Marathon.sln. A hand-crafted Marathon.sln was added alongside it so that dotnet build Marathon.sln works as specified in the plan. Both files are kept; prefer Marathon.sln for CLI commands.
• BetScope is a sealed record hierarchy: abstract record BetScope with sealed record MatchScope : BetScope (singleton Instance) and sealed record PeriodScope(int Number) : BetScope. Use pattern matching, not an enum+nullable approach.
• Event.ScheduledAt must be UTC+3 (Moscow), not UTC. The domain enforces Offset == TimeSpan.FromHours(3). Phase 3 must construct DateTimeOffset with +03:00 before passing to Event; do NOT convert to UTC first.
• Directory.Build.props must NOT set TargetFramework — WpfBlazor needs net8.0-windows while all other projects use net8.0. Each csproj owns its TFM.
• Marathon.Application namespace conflicts with System.Windows.Application in WPF App.xaml.cs. Fix: use System.Windows.Application fully qualified. Phase 5 must keep this qualification.
• Central package management: all PackageReference elements in test csproj files must NOT include Version=. Versions live exclusively in Directory.Packages.props.
• 96 domain tests, 0 failures. All invariants covered: SportCode, EventId, OddsRate, OddsValue, BetScope, Bet (all 4 type combinations), OddsSnapshot, Event (ScheduledAt offset), Anomaly.

Phase 0 (Scraping spike, 2026-05-05)

• Anonymous scraping is feasible from a non-Belarus IP. No Cloudflare, no JS challenge, no UA filtering observed. Server: nginx. Standard cookies only.
• Site is fully SSR. All needed data (event grid, full odds, breadcrumbs, period markets) is in the raw HTML. No SPA hydration required.
• Recommended scraper stack: HttpClient + AngleSharp + Polly v8. Playwright is not required for read-only scraping — keep it as an optional fallback flag (Scraping:UsePlaywright) for future-proofing only.
• Polling cadence: site itself polls live updates every 3 s; for our analyzer, pre-match 30 s and live 5–10 s is sufficient.
• Rate-limit: 5 sequential requests at 1 req/s pacing all returned 200 in <1 s, no throttling. Recommend default RequestsPerSecond=1, MaxConcurrent=4.
• Sport ID semantics: customer's "Sport_Code = 6" (Basketball) maps to data-sport-treeId="6" in the breadcrumb-canonical sport listing (/su/betting/Basketball+-+6). Some sports also have a separate "category tree ID" used inside the live grouping (e.g., 45356 for Basketball-live) — ignore those, use only the canonical breadcrumb ID.
• Selection key format: <eventId>@<MarketName>{LineIndex?}.<Outcome>. The market name is sport-specific (Match_Result, 1st_Half_Result, Total_Goals, Total_Points, Total_Games, To_Win_Match_With_Handicap, etc.). Total thresholds are encoded in the outcome (Under_3.5, Over_213.5). Handicap values are NOT in the key — they're in <span class="middle-simple"> text.
• Tennis has no Draw outcome — domain Bet_Match_Draw must be nullable.
• Date display ambiguity: listing shows HH:MM (today) or DD <ru-month> HH:MM (future). Anchor the parser on initData.serverTime (Moscow TZ, format YYYY,MM,DD,HH,MM,SS).
• No public results page (/su/results → 404). Final scores are exposed only on the event detail page itself via eventJsonInfo JSON (matchIsComplete, resultDescription). Phase 8 must poll until completion; cannot back-fill from an archive endpoint.
• Probe environment: Windows 10 + curl, geo-routed as Poland (countryCode: PL). Customer in Belarus may see slightly different KYC overlays — parser must be defensive (treat missing markets as null, never throw).
• Captures saved locally at spike/captures/*.html (gitignored): 7 fixtures for offline parser development in Phase 3.
