+# TASK-197 - Automate ranking snapshot refresh
+
+## Goal
+
+Automate the periodic refresh of weekly and monthly ranking snapshots in PostgreSQL so `/api/ranking` can keep serving `ranking-snapshot` read-model responses for the supported public combinations without relying on manual one-by-one generation.
+
+## Context
+
+`TASK-194`, `TASK-195` and `TASK-196` already validated the manual generator path in production:
+
+- `generate-ranking-snapshot` works
+- PostgreSQL is the default operational backend
+- CLI JSON serialization is fixed
+- the expected `36` combinations were generated successfully
+- all generated rows ended with `snapshot_status=ready`
+- `/api/ranking` returns `source.read_model=ranking-snapshot`
+- `/api/ranking` returns `fallback_used=false` when a ready snapshot exists
+- `limit_size=30` already covers the current UI limits `10`, `20` and `30`
+
+The remaining gap is operational automation. The repository already has a periodic backend runner in `backend/app/historical_runner.py`, so the default direction for this task is to integrate ranking snapshot refresh there rather than invent a separate scheduler. If that integration becomes too invasive, the fallback is a controlled bulk CLI/manual helper such as `python -m app.rcon_historical_leaderboards refresh-ranking-snapshots --limit 30`, with the periodic integration left prepared for the next step.
+
+Preserve the current product identity: Spanish-speaking HLL Vietnam community, military/Vietnam/tactical/sober visual direction and controlled repository evolution.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Read the listed files first.
+2. Inspect the existing historical runner and ranking snapshot generator entrypoints.
+3. Add the smallest safe backend mechanism that refreshes the weekly/monthly ranking snapshot matrix in PostgreSQL.
+4. Generate the supported matrix with per-combination error reporting so one failure does not necessarily abort the entire refresh.
+5. Keep the manual single-snapshot CLI working.
+6. Preserve `/api/ranking` snapshot-first behavior and runtime fallback when a snapshot is missing.
+7. Document the recommended refresh cadence and manual operational commands.
+
+## Files to Read First
+
+- `AGENTS.md`
+- `ai/repo-context.md`
+- `ai/architecture-index.md`
+- `backend/app/rcon_historical_leaderboards.py`
+- `backend/app/historical_runner.py`
+- `backend/app/rcon_historical_worker.py`
+- `backend/app/payloads.py`
+- `docs/ranking-snapshot-read-model-plan.md`
+- `scripts/run-stats-validation.ps1`
+- `ai/tasks/done/TASK-194-add-weekly-monthly-ranking-snapshot-generator.md`
+- `ai/tasks/done/TASK-195-fix-ranking-snapshot-generator-postgres-default.md`
+- `ai/tasks/done/TASK-196-fix-ranking-snapshot-cli-json-serialization.md`
+
+## Expected Files to Modify
+
+- `backend/app/rcon_historical_leaderboards.py`
+- `backend/app/historical_runner.py`
+- `backend/app/payloads.py`
+- `docs/ranking-snapshot-read-model-plan.md`
+- `scripts/run-stats-validation.ps1`
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Keep the change minimal and backend-only.
+- Do not modify frontend.
+- Do not change design.
+- Do not touch images or assets.
+- Use PostgreSQL as the operational storage target.
+- Do not depend on SQLite for the automated refresh path.
+- Do not change the public `/api/ranking` contract except internal metadata already present if strictly needed.
+- Do not break the manual `generate-ranking-snapshot` CLI.
+- Keep runtime fallback as a safety net when a snapshot is missing.
+- Do not reactivate Elo/MMR.
+- Do not reintroduce Comunidad Hispana #03.
+- Do not introduce an invasive scheduler architecture if the existing runner can safely host the refresh.
+
+## Validation
+
+Before completing the task ensure:
+
+- `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/run-stats-validation.ps1`
+- `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/run-integration-tests.ps1`
+- the automated or bulk refresh path generates the expected `36` combinations:
+  - timeframes: `weekly`, `monthly`
+  - servers: `all`, `comunidad-hispana-01`, `comunidad-hispana-02`
+  - metrics: `kills`, `deaths`, `teamkills`, `matches_considered`, `kd_ratio`, `kills_per_match`
+  - limit: `30`
+- validation proves per-combination failures are reported and do not necessarily stop every remaining combination
+- validation proves the manual CLI `generate-ranking-snapshot` still works
+- validation proves `/api/ranking` still serves `snapshot_status=ready` and `read_model=ranking-snapshot` when ready snapshots exist
+- validation proves runtime fallback remains available for missing snapshots
+- `git diff --name-only` matches the expected scope
+
+## Outcome
+
+Implemented:
+
+- `backend/app/rcon_historical_leaderboards.py`
+  - added `refresh_ranking_snapshots(...)` to generate the full weekly/monthly matrix in one run
+  - added bulk CLI entrypoint:
+    - `python -m app.rcon_historical_leaderboards refresh-ranking-snapshots --limit 30`
+  - preserved the existing manual CLI entrypoint:
+    - `python -m app.rcon_historical_leaderboards generate-ranking-snapshot --timeframe weekly --server-key all --metric kills --limit 30`
+- `backend/app/historical_runner.py`
+  - integrated ranking snapshot refresh into the periodic historical backend cycle through `refresh_periodic_ranking_snapshots(...)`
+  - the cycle now reports `ranking_snapshot_result` separately from the existing historical snapshot result
+- `docs/ranking-snapshot-read-model-plan.md`
+  - documents the new bulk command
+  - documents the runner integration direction
+  - documents `limit=30` as the operational default for the weekly/monthly matrix
+- `scripts/run-stats-validation.ps1`
+  - validates the bulk CLI argument path
+  - validates that bulk refresh covers `36` combinations
+  - validates partial failure reporting without aborting the remaining combinations
+  - keeps validating the existing manual `generate-ranking-snapshot` path
+
+Generated matrix:
+
+- timeframes: `weekly`, `monthly`
+- servers: `all`, `comunidad-hispana-01`, `comunidad-hispana-02`
+- metrics: `kills`, `deaths`, `teamkills`, `matches_considered`, `kd_ratio`, `kills_per_match`
+- limit: `30`
+- total combinations per refresh cycle: `36`
+
+Per-combination failure behavior:
+
+- bulk refresh catches exceptions per combination
+- the full refresh result returns `status=partial` when at least one combination fails and at least one succeeds
+- each failed combination reports:
+  - `timeframe`
+  - `server_key`
+  - `metric`
+  - `error_type`
+  - `error`
+- a single failure does not abort the remaining combinations
+
+Recommended frequency:
+
+- weekly current window: every `5` to `15` minutes
+- monthly current window: every `15` to `30` minutes
+- closed previous week / previous month windows: once after closure or after historical backfill
+
+Validations executed:
+
+- `python -m compileall backend/app/rcon_historical_leaderboards.py backend/app/historical_runner.py`
+- `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/run-stats-validation.ps1`
+- `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/run-integration-tests.ps1`
+- isolated real CLI validation against temporary SQLite files outside the workspace:
+  - `refresh-ranking-snapshots --limit 30` returned `combinations_expected=36`, `succeeded=36`, `failed=0`
+  - `generate-ranking-snapshot` still returned `status=ok` and `snapshot_status=ready`
+
+Validation notes:
+
+- live backend HTTP at `http://127.0.0.1:8000` was not available in this environment
+- `/api/ranking` snapshot-ready and fallback behavior remained validated through the existing local route-contract checks in `scripts/run-stats-validation.ps1`
+- no frontend, design, asset, Elo/MMR or Comunidad Hispana `#03` changes were made
+
+Pending limitation kept out of scope:
+
+- this task integrates the refresh into the existing periodic historical runner and adds a bulk CLI, but it does not introduce a separate external scheduler or deployment-specific cron wiring
+
+## Change Budget
+
+- Prefer fewer than 5 modified files.
+- Prefer changes under 200 lines when feasible.
+- Split the work into follow-up tasks if limits are exceeded.
