Contract 8.1.0

Three trophy bands (Jamie, 2026-09-24), inside v8 by his call: trophy_band on battles_meta_decks, battles_meta_cards and cards_synergy is under_10000, 10000_13999 or trophy_road_complete (14,000 is Trophy Road's cap: the players who have finished it). The five bands before it split thin data finer than it holds: over 60 days, one deck under 10,000 trophies had two repeat players. cards_card.by_band follows.

• trophy_road_complete is war and friendlies: at 14,000 the ladder is Path of Legends, which carries no band. A note says so on every tool that takes the band, and on cards_card's by_band.
• top_player_battles rides rows with at most five REPEAT players (it was rows with 2-5 players): in the wider band a 98-battle deck had 16 players, only 2 of them repeat, and its busiest player went uncounted.

Breaking for a caller passing an old band name, which is now refused with the three names; no first-party client passes one.
