  • SYNRGY-angle lint: 1,270 files scanned, 689 flagged (222 HIGH / 976 MEDIUM / 535 LOW; 1,733 total hits). High-violation count largely concentrated in older updates/ run logs which describe prior cleanup work; article-side violations continue to drop with ongoing voice cleanup queue.
  • Aged-stub queue: Phase 1G captured 423 stubs aged >30 days on 2026-05-10. Drained 15 entries tonight; 408 remain.

Research Progress

    • 5 Michigan aged-stub clubs (pass-fc, legends-fc-michigan, liverpool-fc-ia-mi, vardar-sc, lakeshore-fc) — all expanded to drafts
    • 3 Illinois aged-stub clubs (eclipse-select-sc, sockers-fc-chicago, chicago-fire-academy) — all expanded to drafts
    • 2 more Illinois aged-stub clubs (chicago-magic, chicago-fc-united) — both confirmed 3STEP-owned
    • Naperville SA, Libertyville FC 1974, Internationals SC — drafted from aged stubs (2 new EINs resolved)

    • Remaining tournament stubs in US Club Soccer + soccertournaments.com lists (~80 tournaments still queued; ★ items prioritized, non-★ items remain)
    • Recent ★ extracted entities (Rory Dames, Chad Gruen, Andy Wagstaff, Morris Lupenec, Jeff Bradley) recommended for follow-on person stubs
    • AGENDA #44: MLS Next / ECNL evolution (industry deep-dive)

Open Questions / Issues for Trevor

  • Linter bug noted by Opus agent: scripts/lint-tax-status.py find_strong_nonprofit() substring-matches “Form 990” / “ProPublica” / “Nonprofit Explorer” without checking negation context. Negative mentions in body text (e.g. “no ProPublica match located”) can auto-promote tax_status: nonprofit. The NEGATION_NEAR_NP regex is currently only applied to weak signals, not strong-body phrases. Worth a separate small fix.
  • Newport Mesa Cup 2026 cancelled mid-cycle; stub captures the cancellation and expected 2027 resumption.
  • Chicago FC United / Chicago Magic: founder Chad Gruen now serves as 3STEP CEO (a strategic detail worth flagging in any future 3STEP / Goldman sale tracking).
  • Eclipse Select SC: Rory Dames remains owner despite NWSL lifetime ban (2023). Ownership succession story still open.
