+# TASK-254 - Fix historical ratio values and stats profile performance regression
+
+## Summary
+
+This task fixes two regressions detected before pushing TASK-252 and TASK-253:
+
+1. Historical leaderboard ratio columns could show `0,00` when the direct ratio field was `null`.
+2. The public player profile in `stats.html` could become slow when the weekly/monthly read model was empty and the endpoint fell back to runtime aggregation.
+
+## Historical Ratios
+
+Root cause:
+
+- `formatHistoricalPerMatch(...)` converted `null` direct values with `Number(null)`, which becomes `0`.
+- For `Top muertes` and `Soporte`, that caused the formatter to stop early and render `0,00` instead of dividing the real total by matches.
+
+Fix:
+
+- treat `null`, `undefined` and empty string as missing direct values
+- only use a direct ratio value when it is truly present
+- otherwise compute:
+  - kills / partidas
+  - muertes / partidas
+  - soporte / partidas
+- if `matches <= 0` or the total is missing, render an empty string instead of a fake `0,00`
+
+Expected examples:
+
+- kills `170`, matches `4` -> `42,50`
+- deaths `225`, matches `14` -> `16,07`
+
+## Stats Profile Performance
+
+Root cause:
+
+- TASK-253 added a runtime fallback for weekly/monthly personal profile reads when `player_period_stats` was empty.
+- That fallback queried live materialized match/player tables and ranking windows on the request path.
+- For public profile reads this is too expensive and can degrade page responsiveness.
+
+Fix:
+
+- disable the runtime fallback for weekly/monthly profile reads
+- keep the endpoint read-model-first only for public weekly/monthly profile windows
+- when the read model is missing:
+  - return a lightweight profile payload
+  - keep external profile links and platform identity
+  - keep `kpm = null`
+  - keep `kpm_status = missing_active_time`
+
+This preserves:
+
+- translated labels
+- hidden personal ID in the visible profile card
+- external profile buttons
+- no fake KPM
+
+## Teamkills
+
+No TeamKills change was implemented here.
+
+Reference:
+
+- `TASK-251-investigate-teamkills-ranking-zeroes.md`
+
+## Validation
+
+Executed:
+
+- `node --check frontend/assets/js/historico.js`
+- `node --check frontend/assets/js/stats.js`
+- `python -m compileall backend/app`
+- `cd backend; python -m unittest tests.test_current_match_payload`
+- `cd backend; python -m unittest tests.test_historical_snapshot_refresh`
+- `cd backend; python -m unittest tests.test_stats_player_profile_payload`
+
+Static/manual checks:
+
+- no `undefined` titles remain in historical leaderboard labels
+- `Kills/partida` only stays on `Top kills`
+- `Muertes/partida` stays on `Top muertes`
+- `matches_over_100_kills` keeps no ratio column
+- Steam profile buttons still resolve to Steam + Hellor + HLL Records + Helo
+- Epic profile buttons still resolve to Hellor + HLL Records
+
+## Notes
+
+- No backend scheduler change.
+- No RCON/server configuration change.
+- No asset change.
