Lineups of one game by unit and slot, plus the absentees.
Reads the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation statistics API (data.sihf.ch, keyless JSON). SIHF keys a
season by its END year (2026 = 2025-26). An unknown season, league_id or phase_id is never an
error upstream (SIHF silently answers another one), so every table answer is checked against the
body's own filter echo and refused when it differs. Every request is spaced at least one second
from the last one to the host.
