Phase B1a of docs/SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md. src/base_classes/sports.py becomes a package so the upcoming capability modules have a home and diffs show their blast radius: sports/__init__.py re-exports the public API sports/core.py SportsCore sports/modes.py SportsUpcoming / SportsRecent / SportsLive No logic change: the 1515 class-body lines are byte-identical to the original (verified by concatenating the two modules and diffing against HEAD). Only module docstrings and the redistributed import blocks are new. MRO and __abstractmethods__ are unchanged, and every existing import site — including 'from src.base_classes.sports import SportsCore' in the sport subclasses, the skin tests, and the characterization suite — resolves through the package __init__. One test edit was required: the characterization suite monkeypatched 'src.base_classes.sports.get_background_service', which is no longer a module attribute on a package. Retargeted to 'src.base_classes.sports.core.get_background_service' — the module whose globals SportsCore.__init__ actually resolves, so the patch is effective exactly as before. No test logic or assertion changed. Also adds docs/SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md: the architecture for the whole B1-B5 sequence — how upgradability (guarded imports, capability probing, frozen view-model keys, the sunset rule), reusability (promote only what all nine copies share), and modularity (capabilities as opt-in mixins rather than config branches, variants as named strategies, sport-unique code as declared override points) are kept as three separate mechanisms. Verified: characterization + skin 94 passed; the 10-file unit suite 338 passed; test/plugins 60 passed — all identical to pre-change counts.

Archive
docs/archive/ holds older guides that have been superseded or describe
features that have been removed. They are kept for historical context and
git history but should not be relied on.
Contributing to the docs
- Markdown only, professional tone, minimal emoji.
- Prefer adding to an existing page over creating a new one. If you add a new page, link it from this index in the section it belongs to.
- If a page becomes obsolete, move it to
docs/archive/rather than deleting it, so links don't rot. - Keep examples runnable — paths, commands, and config keys here should match what's actually in the repo.
