Scouting Report — Know Your Opponent Before the First Serve

A binoculars icon on every casual game, tournament pool, bracket, and league match opens a quick-glance intel panel about the opponent: DUPR + trend, recent form, hot/cold streak, head-to-head, mutual friends, common opponents. Built on data the opponent already exposes publicly. Minor-protected, block-honored, scout-views never surfaced to the scoutee. This update is designed for players who want a better the mobile experience experience — less manual work, more control, and a smoother workflow.

What's Included

Contextual entry — the icon appears only on competitive contexts (casual games, tournament pools, brackets, league matches); not on Player Hubs or feeds

Two visibility tiers — public stats (DUPR, form, streak, H2H, badges) visible to anyone; social-graph signals (mutual friends, top partners, top opponents, common opponents) visible only to confirmed friends

Built on existing data — no new aggregation tables, no scout-view rows; aggregates PlayerStatsService + DuprRatingSnapshot + Friendship in a single cached read

Per-context shapes — tap a player avatar for an individual report; tap a doubles team chip for a team report with combined DUPR, chemistry, and team H2H

DUPR trend — 90-day delta vs the most recent snapshot, fires when the swing is ≥ 0.10

Hot/cold streak — fires when last 3+ matches are all wins or all losses

Reuses EventFollow polymorphic infrastructure — Follow button uses the existing 5/hour digest-capped notification; no new model, no new endpoints

Minor-safe — minors are never scoutable; the icon renders a generic 'not available' shell

Block-honored — blocking party gets the same shell as a minor account; block existence never leaked

Scout-view privacy posture — analytics events are scrubbed of (scouter, target) joinability; the scoutee can never determine who scouted them

AI integration — ask the in-app AI 'Scout Jamie' or 'Tell me about Jamie before my match' and get the same report card with deterministic narration

Tier-aware from day 1 — `for_tier(:free | :premium)` filter built in; flipping the future paywall is a one-line tier-config change, no service code change required
