Patch notes: season rollover, modes, and new draft types

Huge commissioner and season update. This is the batch about to hit main. Please break it on purpose and tell us what fails. SEASON ROLLOVER • After a champion is crowned, commissioners can start next-season setup from the season page. • Copies teams, managers, and settings into a fresh season with empty rosters, then drops you on the teams step to edit who is returning. • Season names must stay unique inside the league. • This looks solid in our passes. Still poke it on a real finished season and report anything weird. SEASON MODES AND SCHEDULES • Standard seasons and tournament-style seasons. • Best-of series support for regular season and playoff / tournament rounds. • Computer leagues / computer games for leagues that want them. Those games stay out of human lifetime stats. • Clearer champion banner and standings / playoff views when a season wraps. DRAFTING (TEST THIS) • More draft formats: snake, linear, random, auction, and salary draft. • Draft order options including random and manual ordering. • Live draft boards for the formats that use them (including auction). • Roster policy choice: classic season draft, or draft-when-you-play (no season draft board; characters come from uploaded games). • Mock draft page for practice. • Honest note: live drafting and the new draft types still need real room testing. Snake may feel familiar; treat the new formats as fresh and send bug reports. COMMISSIONER HOME AND SETUP • Cleaner commissioner home with less clutter. • Setup resume prompts so you can pick up league / season setup where you left off. • Richer Discord posts around finals and big moments (phase 1 webhooks still need a later polish pass). WATCHING GAMES • Live stream links on game pages when a Twitch or YouTube URL is set. STILL ROUGH / NEXT • Live draft + new draft formats: please stress-test before draft night matters. • Auto-upload (Dugout Link) is still not open for everyone (admin testing only for now). Manual paste and lifetime batch upload remain the everyday path. • Discord webhook polish (easy test posts, clearer setup) is next now that rollover is in. • Inky subscription depth (paid gate, longer memory, more article beats) is still ahead. Thanks for playing through a big build. Draft bugs and rollover surprises are especially useful right now.
