- [D-021] 2026-10-02 · Primary metric = raw ratio, bar > 0.50 (the author's decision on 2026-10-02, not the app maintainer's) · status: superseded by D-036 (Floor-adjusted ratio + win/tie/loss became the headline on 2026-10-06 (applied 2026-10-07); the raw rule is still printed as the formal rule.)
