# Scope every game path seat to its current context

A phase of [[user:task/league/build-game-path-owner-profile-foundation.md]], which holds the overview, background, design, assumptions and notes this plan relies on; read its Design and Notes first. Paths are relative to `repository/active/league/` unless they start with a user-base directory.

## Plan

### Seats and context

- [x] **One admission source; every seat in its current context**
  - File: `libs-server/nfl-game-path-simulation/build-game-path-pool.mjs`, `build-game-path-context.mjs`, `audit-game-path-context-admissions.mjs`; `libs-server/game-sample/resolve-game-regime.mjs`
  - Purpose: the registry's producing conditions become the only admission definition, and each seat reads its current context.
  - Changes: compile producing conditions into the game-sample documents; replace `GAME_PATH_ADMISSION_SEATS` and `GAME_PATH_QUARTERBACK_ADMISSION_SEATS`; defense, head coach and kicker follow their measures in the target season; special teams admit per seat; a thin backup quarterback refuses; the audit reads the registry.
  - Verify: an independent query over each run's admitted esbids, joined to `nfl_game_coaches` and the starting quarterback from `resolve-game-regime`, finds no game outside its seat's context; replay gate; forward comparison at both seeds.

- [x] **Context-break detection**
  - File: `libs-shared/nfl-game-path-profiles/detect-owner-context-breaks.mjs` (new), `libs-server/nfl-game-path-simulation/load-game-path-quarterback-changes.mjs`, the runner
  - Purpose: a new caller, starting quarterback or group membership starts a fresh context; an in-game quarterback change applies in forecasts.
  - Changes: reuse `resolve-game-regime` for callers and starting quarterback; detect group membership changes from charted roles; forecasts apply a quarterback change the way reviews do.
  - Verify: week 8's benched starters each start a fresh quarterback context; a caller change in 2026 is detected; BAL @ BUF week 8 shows the change applied.
