GPS / value trend
Logged GPS and value trends appear after at least two real daily snapshots.
Daily snapshots only. Sparse history stays hidden rather than drawing a flat line.

Dashed line is reconstructed from season ratings, age, role, and today's GoalPost value. Logged-live value points will appear here once history accrues.
