What's new (v1.3)

## v1.3.2 (iOS) - What's New
### Smarter Goalkeeper Management
**Keeper Time, Done Right**
- Goalkeeper minutes are now tracked as a first-class part of each player's time, shown in their own purple ring
- Choose how keeper time counts toward fair play: full credit, half credit (shared keepers), or fully discounted so your keeper still earns a full outfield turn afterwards
- A fully-discounted keeper is no longer constantly suggested to come off — the goal is to give them their field time, not bench them
- New keeper rotation settings: **No keeper rotation** (fixed keeper) and **Only rotate keepers at half time**
### Shared-Keeper Half-Time Swaps
**A Clear Cue When It's Time to Switch**
- When you nominate two keepers to share the gloves, the app prompts the swap at the half-time pause
- During that pause, both keepers now glow with a swap badge on the pitch so you can see at a glance who's ready to switch — even when both are already on the field
### Auto-Order the Bench
**Keep the Next Player Up Front**
- New per-team bench ordering that re-sorts live as the game runs
- Sort by: Priority (who should come on next), Freshest, Longest bench stint, or Needs time (most field time still owed)
- Manual stays the default, preserving drag-to-reorder
### Avoid Long Bench Stretches
**Nobody Sits Too Long**
- New per-team "preferred bench stretch" keeps any one player from sitting too long in a single spell
- Smart defaults based on game length, or set your own (or turn it off)
- A gentle amber glow and a subtle haptic flag when someone's stretch is running long
### More Control Over Recommendations
**You're Always in Charge**
- Exclude any player from substitution recommendations with one tap — handy for injuries, knocks, or your own coaching calls
- The app now aims to surface up to three substitution suggestions at a time
### Helpful Tips While You Pause
- Refreshed the "Did you know…" clock tip: you can swipe the clock to increment or decrement the time
### Under the Hood
**Performance & Stability**
- Hardened the on-field suggestion/keeper ring rendering
- Extensive new tests across keeper time credit, bench fairness, bench ordering, and the half-time swap cue
- Bug fixes and stability improvements throughout
