## Changelog

### 1.0 — 2026-09-08

First release.

- One dataset row per NBA field-goal attempt: shooter, team, opponent,
  home/away, period and game clock, action and shot type, made flag, points,
  NBA's three zone labels, and the raw `LOC_X`/`LOC_Y` coordinates.
- **Computed spatial fields NBA does not publish**: exact (unrounded) distance
  from the hoop, bearing in degrees, distance from the baseline, plot-ready
  coordinates for the standard 500×470 court grid in both orientations, and
  geometric three-point / corner-three / restricted-area flags. Verified
  against all 219,160 shots of the 2025-26 regular season.
- **Shot quality**: expected points and points-over-expected, joined from the
  league FG% table the endpoint returns alongside every query. The baseline is
  fetched once for the whole season rather than per window, so the comparison
  is against the league and not against the sample's own mean.
- **Complete season queries.** `shotchartdetail` silently truncates at 102,400
  rows, dropping over half a season without any error. League-wide queries are
  split into windows before being sent, and anything still returned at the cap
  is split again.
- Targeting by game, player, team, date range, season and season type, with
  players and games combinable.
- Offseason-safe default: with no input at all the run resolves the most recent
  season actually played and returns that season's last slate.
- 256 MB, no browser, no proxy on a healthy run.
