+## Balance Lab deterministic class/spec coverage (2026-09-17)
+
+- Automatic sweeps now offer **Random parties**, **All specs**, and **Specific
+  specs**. All-spec mode derives the minimum valid 1-tank/1-healer/3-damage
+  party set that covers every available build. Specific mode guarantees every
+  selected build appears and uses distinct compatible fillers for missing
+  roles; selected builds are not reused as fillers when alternatives exist.
+- A real level-20 WoW all-spec sweep against Eck the Ferocious generated eight
+  distinct parties and placed all 31 catalog builds in `suite-report.json`
+  with zero missing. The combined catalog audit found 70 CoA builds requiring
+  16 coverage parties and 16 RoM builds requiring four; every source exposes
+  enough tank, healer, and damage builds for valid coverage parties.
+- Eight Python controller tests, nine Balance Lab service tests, two server
+  integration tests, and the production build passed. Production Edge
+  automation verified the All Specs estimate, selected Paladin Holy through the
+  Specific Specs picker, completed the server job, rendered all seven overview
+  graphs, and passed desktop plus 480×900 overflow checks without browser
+  errors. Evidence is in `playtest-artifacts/balance-lab/02-server-job-config.png`
+  and `playtest-artifacts/balance-lab/03-server-job-complete.png`.

+- **Random parties** preserves the original seeded behavior and generates the

+- **All specs** creates the minimum deterministic set of valid parties needed

+- **Specific specs** treats each selected build as required coverage and fills
+  the remaining tank, healer, and damage slots with distinct compatible builds.
+  When alternatives exist, required builds are not reused as fillers.
+
+Coverage parties always contain one tank, one healer, and three different
+damage builds. Their composition is deterministic for the party seed, and no
+build is duplicated inside one party.
