[4.1.0] - 2026-03-20

Added

  • Deck Builder Theme Selection: Enhanced theme picker with pool size indicators, smart sorting, and optional grouping
    • Pool Size Badges: Numeric card count displayed on all theme chips (recommended + general)
    • Smart Sorting: Themes automatically sorted by pool size (descending), then alphabetically
    • Visual Separator: Clear separation between recommended and general themes with section headers
    • Pool Size Sections: Optional grouping of themes into Vast/Large/Moderate/Small/Tiny sections, controlled by THEME_POOL_SECTIONS environment variable (default: off)
    • Popup Wizard Parity: New Deck modal has full feature parity with the legacy builder (badges, sorting, sections)
    • Partner-Aware Sections: When a partner commander is selected, partner themes are bucketed into the correct pool size section rather than appended flat
    • Pool Size Tooltips: Section headers and the "All Available Themes" label include tooltips explaining what the card count badge means and the tier thresholds
    • Badge Styling: Muted, compact pool size badges integrated seamlessly into chip design
  • Theme Quality Dashboard: Diagnostic dashboard for monitoring catalog health at /diagnostics/quality
    • Quality Distribution: Visual breakdown of theme counts by tier (Excellent/Good/Fair/Poor)
    • Catalog Statistics: Total themes, average quality score displayed prominently
    • Top 10 Highest Quality: Best-curated themes with links to theme pages
    • Bottom 10 Lowest Quality: Themes needing improvement with actionable suggestions
    • Improvement Tools: Direct links to linter CLI command and editorial documentation
    • Protected Access: Dashboard gated behind SHOW_DIAGNOSTICS=1 flag for admin use
    • Main Diagnostics Integration: Quality stats preview card on main diagnostics page with link to full dashboard
  • Theme Badge Explanations: Detailed reasoning for quality, pool size, and popularity badges on individual theme pages
    • Quality Explanations: Multi-factor breakdown showing synergy breakdown (curated/enforced/inferred counts), deck archetype classification, description curation status, and editorial quality status
    • Pool Size Explanations: Card count with contextual guidance on flexibility and optimization potential
    • Popularity Explanations: Adoption pattern descriptions explaining why themes have their popularity tier
    • Collapsible Display: Badge details in collapsible section (open by default), matching catalog page badge legend pattern
    • Feature Flag Respects: Explanations only show for enabled badge types (respects SHOW_THEME_QUALITY_BADGES, SHOW_THEME_POOL_BADGES, SHOW_THEME_POPULARITY_BADGES)
    • Dynamic Reasoning: Explanations generated based on actual theme data (quality score, synergy counts, editorial status, archetype metadata)
  • Theme Catalog Badge System: Comprehensive metric visualization with granular display control
    • Quality Badges: Editorial quality indicators (Excellent/Good/Fair/Poor) with semantic colors
    • Pool Size Badges: Card availability indicators (Vast/Large/Moderate/Small/Tiny) showing total cards per theme
    • Popularity Badges: Usage frequency indicators (Very Common/Common/Uncommon/Niche/Rare) based on theme adoption
    • Badge Feature Flags: Individual toggle flags for each badge type (SHOW_THEME_QUALITY_BADGES, SHOW_THEME_POOL_BADGES, SHOW_THEME_POPULARITY_BADGES)
    • Filter Controls: Dropdown filters and quick-select chips for all three metrics with master toggle (SHOW_THEME_FILTERS)
  • Theme Pool Size Display: Visual indicators showing total card availability per theme
    • Pool Size Calculation: Automatic counting of cards with each theme tag from parquet data
    • Pool Tier Badges: Color-coded badges (Vast/Large/Moderate/Small/Tiny) showing pool size categories
    • Pool Data in API: Theme pool size (card count) and tier included in all theme API responses
    • Pool Badges CSS: New badge styles with distinct colors (violet/teal/cyan/orange/gray for pool tiers)
    • Dual Metric System: Quality badges (editorial completeness) + Pool size badges (card availability) shown together
  • Theme Quality Score Display: Visual quality indicators in web UI for theme catalog
    • Quality Tier Badges: Color-coded badges (Excellent/Good/Fair/Poor) shown in theme lists and detail pages
    • Quality Scoring: Automatic calculation during theme loading based on completeness, uniqueness, and curation quality
    • Quality Data in API: Theme quality tier and normalized score (0.0-1.0) included in all theme API responses
    • Quality Badges CSS: New badge styles with semantic colors (green/blue/yellow/red for quality tiers)
  • Theme Catalog Filtering: Advanced filtering system for quality, pool size, and popularity
    • Filter Dropdowns: Select-based filters for precise tier selection (Quality: E/G/F/P, Pool: V/L/M/S/T, Popularity: VC/C/U/N/R)
    • Quick Filter Chips: Single-click filter activation with letter-based shortcuts
    • Combined Filtering: Multiple filter types work together with AND logic (e.g., Good quality + Vast pool + Common popularity)
    • Active Filter Display: Visual chips showing applied filters with individual remove buttons
    • Filter Performance: Backend filtering in both fast path (theme_list.json) and fallback (full index) with sub-200ms response times
  • Theme Editorial Quality & Standards: Complete editorial system for theme catalog curation
    • Editorial Metadata Fields: description_source (tracks provenance: official/inferred/custom) and popularity_pinned (manual tier override)
    • Heuristics Externalization: Theme classification rules moved to config/themes/editorial_heuristics.yml for maintainability
    • Enhanced Quality Scoring: Four-tier system (Excellent/Good/Fair/Poor) with 0.0-1.0 numerical scores based on uniqueness, duplication, description quality, and metadata completeness
    • CLI Linter: validate_theme_catalog.py --lint flag with configurable thresholds for duplication and quality warnings, provides actionable improvement suggestions
    • Editorial Documentation: Comprehensive guide at docs/theme_editorial_guide.md covering quality scoring, best practices, linter usage, and workflow examples
  • Theme Stripping Configuration: Configurable minimum card threshold for theme retention
    • THEME_MIN_CARDS Setting: Environment variable (default: 5) to strip themes with too few cards from catalogs and card metadata
    • Analysis Tooling: analyze_theme_distribution.py script to visualize theme distribution and identify stripping candidates
    • Core Threshold Logic: theme_stripper.py module with functions to identify and filter low-card-count themes
    • Catalog Stripping: Automated removal of low-card themes from YAML catalog with backup/logging via strip_catalog_themes.py script

Changed

  • Build Process Modernization: Theme catalog generation now reads from parquet files instead of obsolete CSV format
    • Updated build_theme_catalog.py and extract_themes.py to use parquet data (matches rest of codebase)
    • Removed silent CSV exception handling (build now fails loudly if parquet read fails)
    • Added THEME_MIN_CARDS filtering directly in build pipeline (themes below threshold excluded during generation)
    • theme_list.json now auto-generated from stripped parquet data after theme stripping
    • Eliminated manual JSON stripping step (JSON is derived artifact, not source of truth)
  • Parquet Theme Stripping: Strip low-card themes directly from card data files
    • Added strip_parquet_themes.py script with dry-run, verbose, and backup modes
    • Added parquet manipulation functions to theme_stripper.py: backup_parquet_file(), filter_theme_tags(), update_parquet_theme_tags(), strip_parquet_themes()
    • Handles multiple themeTags formats: numpy arrays, lists, and comma/pipe-separated strings
    • Stripped 97 theme tag occurrences from 30,674 cards in all_cards.parquet
    • Updated stripped_themes.yml log with 520 themes stripped from parquet source
    • Automatic integration: Theme stripping now runs automatically in run_tagging() after tagging completes (when THEME_MIN_CARDS > 1, default: 5)
    • Integrated into web UI setup, CLI tagging, and CI/CD workflows (build-similarity-cache)

Fixed

  • Counter Type Tags: Fixed leading spaces in theme names for Blood and Hone counter types
    • Corrected Blood to Blood and Hone to Hone in tag_constants.py COUNTER_TYPES list
    • Prevents creation of malformed theme names like Blood Counters (with leading space)
    • Requires re-tagging to regenerate parquet files and theme catalog with corrected names
