From Loom to Engine: The Scheduling Core Gets a Clean Schema
· 11 min read
The scheduling brain of RABS just had its biggest renovation since the project began. The metaphor names everyone learned -- workshed, loom, ribbon -- have done their job and are now retired. In their place sits core_engine: a born-clean Postgres schema with 19 tables, a dedicated instance API at /api/v1/engine, a fully-wired program creation wizard, and a working philosophy for how the past becomes truth. Twelve backend route files were rewritten to point at the new schema. Seventy-three real billing rates replaced the POC junk rows. The wizard now handles NF2F lines, participant photos, participant fees, click-to-edit time slots, and full draft management. None of this is theoretical anymore.
