+### Stats final screen — Stage B: verdict hero + goals-by-round (2026-06-16)
+- **Verdict hero (`stats.js`):** `heroHTML()` now dispatches — `model.verdict ? verdictHeroHTML() : aggregateHeroHTML()`. The verdict hero shows the champion (trophy + gold-outlined flag + name) and a **2/3/4 podium** (runner-up / 3rd / 4th) above the same 4 count-up tiles (extracted to `heroTilesHTML()`, shared by both heroes). **Gated on the REAL final:** `computeVerdict()` reads `getBracketTree().nodesByRef.get('FINAL')` and returns `null` unless `result.status==='finished' && !simulated && winner` — so a user's **simulated** champion never leaks into the verdict (`decide()` sets the real winner first, so `simulated:false` ⇒ real). Third/fourth come from `tree.third` the same way, independently (podium degrades gracefully if only the final is in). Until the final is really finished it falls back to the existing **aggregate "tournament in progress" hero**, so an early merge stays correct (current 17/104 data shows the aggregate hero — verified).
+- **`stats.js` now imports `getBracketTree` from `bracket.js`** — the 4th intentional circular import with `app.js` (safe: only called at render runtime, and `bracket.js` evaluates before `stats.js` in `app.js`'s import order).
+- **Goals-by-round chart (`goalsByRoundHTML`, in the Overview section after goals-by-stage):** finer companion to goals-by-stage — the group stage is split into its **3 matchdays** (derived per group by `computeGroupMatchdays`: sort each group's 6 fixtures by kickoff, chunk into pairs → MD1/2/3; **`matches.json` has no matchday field**) plus each knockout round on its own. `ROUND_ORDER = ['MD1','MD2','MD3', ...STAGE_ORDER]`. **Hidden until ≥2 rounds have data** (`order.length < 2 → ''`) so early on it doesn't show a lone bar duplicating goals-by-stage's "Group" bar (current data = only MD1 → chart hidden, verified). The model gained `byRound` + `verdict`.
+- **New i18n keys** (EN+PT): `stats.goalsByRound`, `stats.matchday` ("Matchday"/"Rodada"), `stats.verdictTitle`, `stats.runnerUp`, `stats.thirdPlace`, `stats.fourthPlace`. **New CSS** in `stats.css`: `.stats-verdict` + `.verdict-champion/-trophy/-flag/-name/-crown/-podium/-place/-rank/-place-name/-place-label`.
+- **Verified (preview 8126, branch):** real 17/104 → aggregate hero + goals-by-round hidden, console clean; **faked all-104-finished** (+ a valid `thirdPlaceAssignment`, injected via `preview_eval`, restored by reload) → verdict hero (champion + 2/3/4 podium, tiles 276 goals / 2.65 avg / 6 / 55) + goals-by-round with all 9 buckets (MD1–3 + R32→Final); EN↔PT relabels the verdict + round chart and survives re-render; no regression after restore.
+- **Next:** Stage C — final ranking 1–48 (phase-reached → pts → GD → GF → id chain), favorite-row highlight (`getFavorites` + `favchange`), team record cards (biggest rout → modal, champion's path, form). Awaiting approval.

 ### How to update real-world data (scores, schedule)
 Follow `how-refresh-data.md` (project root). In short:
 1. Edit `data/results.json` (scores/status) or `data/matches.json` (schedule, rare).
