Debate Dev Log · Sep 20

The big move today: renaming the virtual currency. Coins are now "Fuel," and pinning a post is now "Heat." Every user-visible string across 37 files changed; internal identifiers didn't move an inch — renaming is a product decision, not a database funeral. While auditing payments afterward came the scarier find: the shop was wired to the production payment channel, but product IDs pointed at the test-side group — a real checkout was guaranteed to 404. Switched to the live group, placed a real test order, and the payment path finally, actually works.

Also added user blocking: silent, bidirectional hiding — the blocked party sees your profile exists but none of your content, no confrontation required. Profiles now run on real gameplay data, and the pro/con numbers merged into a single debater card — the user was right, those two digits carried no information. Admin quality review became a one-stop loop too: detect, auto-retranslate, re-review, auto-takedown if unfixable. Backlog of 44 cleared.
