# Close the double-veto race and validate the commissioner trade veto end to end

The veto route in `api/routes/leagues/trade.mjs` guards `approved` but not `vetoed` on its conditional update (around line 1700 on 2026-09-30), so two close vetoes both commit the reversal. The veto action itself has never run against a live league.

## Plan

- [ ] Add `.whereNull('vetoed')` to the veto update, split the zero-row refusal message, and add a double-veto spec proven red first — [[████████████████████████-██-██████████████-████-█████-███████-██████-███████]]
- [ ] With operator approval, exercise a real veto on a vetoable trade (live one, or an agreed test trade) and verify reversal, refusals and UI — [[████████████████████████-██-█████████████████-█████-████-███████-████-█████████]]

## Notes

The veto POST is destructive. The end-to-end step needs the operator to re-auth the `league-prod` profile and approve the specific trade. Deploy is human-gated.
