Premier League Predictor: Django & MySQL — Chapter 4, Exercise 3
====================================================

TASK
Build the full click-to-pair page yourself against a real gameweek,
enter at least 3 fixtures, then deliberately remove the X-CSRFToken
header from addFixture() and confirm the real, different error you get
back compared to attempting to reuse an already-fixtured team.

SOLUTION

Steps to complete this exercise:

1. Wire up the URL routes for fixture_entry and create_fixture, save
   fixture_entry.html and fixtures.js as shown in this chapter, and
   confirm a real gameweek with a real season already has 20
   SeasonTeam rows (from earlier chapters).

2. Load the fixture-entry page for that gameweek and confirm the 20
   team buttons appear immediately on page load, with no visible
   loading delay — direct evidence of Exercise 1's own server-side
   rendering claim.

3. Click three real team pairs into Home/Away and press Add Fixture
   each time, confirming each pair's own buttons become disabled and
   the slots reset — three genuine fixtures now stored.

4. In addFixture(), comment out or delete the
   'X-CSRFToken': csrftoken, line entirely, then reload the page (a
   fresh page load re-triggers @ensure_csrf_cookie, so the cookie is
   still present in the browser even though the header is no longer
   being sent).

5. Attempt to add a fourth, genuinely new fixture (two teams not yet
   used). The fetch call should return a real 403 Forbidden response,
   and the page's own error handling (reading error.error from the
   JSON body) will likely fail or show something unexpected, since a
   403 CSRF rejection from Django's middleware doesn't return the same
   {"error": "..."} JSON shape create_fixture itself returns for a
   genuine business-logic failure — worth inspecting directly in the
   browser's network tab to see the real raw response.

6. Restore the X-CSRFToken header, then attempt to submit a fixture
   reusing one of the three already-used teams from step 3. This time
   the request passes CSRF validation successfully and reaches
   create_fixture's own code, which returns a real 409 Conflict with
   the JSON body {"error": "One of these teams is already fixtured
   this gameweek"} — correctly displayed via the page's own alert().

One-sentence confirmation: removing the CSRF header produces a real
403 rejected before create_fixture's own logic ever runs, while
reusing an already-fixtured team (with the header restored) produces a
real 409 from inside create_fixture's own deliberate duplicate check —
two genuinely different failures at two genuinely different layers.

WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER
----------------------------
It walks through building and using the real page end to end, then
deliberately reproduces both failure modes named in Exercise 2 (the
403 CSRF rejection and the 409 duplicate-team rejection) and confirms,
by actually running both, that they are genuinely different responses
happening at genuinely different points in the request's own
lifecycle.
