Contract 5.0.0

Pilot Score is gone (Jamie, 2026-09-19: a mirage). Three reviews on the year of the record (docs/reviews/2026-09-19-PILOT-SCORE-ASSESSMENT.md, -PILOT-SCORE-EVOLUTION.md, -ELIXIR-LIFT-TWO-POPULATIONS.md) found that 70-76% of the observations it scored carried no level adjustment at all (Ranked and casual equalize card levels), that between players the adjustment was nearly orthogonal to outcomes (r = 0.09), that a raw win rate was as reliable as the score, and that in Ranked the score was the win rate and the win rate a weekly coin toss. Elixir records and makes the record available; it does not score players against an expected win rate, and will not carry a branded metric of any kind. The card-level fact stays where it always was: mean_level_gap, level_gap_battles and comparable on the deck, card, summary and standings readers.

The same release fills out the card noun (docs/reviews/2026-09-19-CARDS-REVIEW.md): cards_catalog carries type (troop, building, spell, tower_troop, from the id range the API does not spell out) and fetched_at beside as_of (which is the catalog's last CHANGE, and now says so); battles_meta_cards takes cards: [ids] and battles_meta_decks takes containing: [ids] (decks with ALL the cards, any form), both applied after aggregation so usage_share and decided_battles stay the population's.

No deprecation window: every client of this server is first-party (the 3.0.0 and 4.0.0 precedent). The first call after reconnecting should re-fetch tools/list.

Breaking
  • Every card object carries form: "base" | "evolution" | "hero" and the integer evolution key is gone: deck cards on battles_query, battles_decks, battles_meta_decks and players_summary (which once dropped the form), rows of battles_cards and battles_meta_cards, and cards_synergy partners (which carried both spellings). forms_available / forms_unlocked on the catalog and collections are unchanged (they are sets). elixir_timeline facts are unchanged.
  • battles_levels removed: the Level Curve and the per-player Pilot Score, monthly trend, experience cohort and population changes. No replacement; mean_level_gap on players_summary, battles_decks, battles_cards, battles_meta_decks, battles_meta_cards and clans_standings is the record's statement about card levels.
  • clans_pilot_scores removed. No replacement.
  • The meta readers' comparability note no longer points at battles_levels for a level-expected rate; it says the record describes the gap and does not adjust for it.
