Apply the J27 (5/6/2026) Stern specialization sheet: - Add Healthcare (HCR) as the 15th specialization, with HCR cross-listings on spr2-health-medical, spr3-analytics-ml, sum2-social-media (renamed), and fall1-managing-change. 10 credits available, no required-course gate. - Rename sum2-social-media to "Digital Marketing Strategy in Practice"; replace its description with new MSKCC-anchored content; clear instructor pending confirmation of new lead. - Switch from delete-and-replace to the previously-unused cancelled flag (Approach B): mark spr5-customer-insights cancelled, add Managing Growing Companies back to Summer Set 2 as a cancelled placeholder per the printed sheet. - Update data integrity tests: course count 46 -> 47, spec count 14 -> 15; per-spec "across sets" helper now filters cancelled courses so future cancellations trigger an obvious assertion failure (BRM 6 -> 5, MKT 7 -> 6, HCR 4 new). - Replace hardcoded 14 in optimizer.test.ts with SPECIALIZATIONS.length.

Why
The Stern School published an updated J27 Specializations one-pager (dated 5/6/2026) that introduces a new Healthcare specialization, cancels the Customer Insights elective, lists Managing Growing Companies as a cancelled placeholder in Summer Set 2, renames Social Media and Mobile Technology to Digital Marketing Strategy in Practice (with a substantively different course description and focus), and cross-lists four existing courses to the new Healthcare specialization. The solver's data files must match the official sheet so students rely on accurate availability information.
What Changes
- Add Healthcare (HCR) specialization (10 credits, no required course)
- Add HCR qualification to four existing courses:
spr2-health-medical(Business of Health & Medical Care)spr3-analytics-ml(Analytics & Machine Learning for Managers)sum2-social-media(formerly Social Media and Mobile Technology)fall1-managing-change(Managing Change)
- Rename
sum2-social-mediato Digital Marketing Strategy in Practice and replace its course description with the new MSKCC-anchored content (provided indigital-marketing.txt); clear instructor field pending confirmation of new lead instructor - Mark
spr5-customer-insightsascancelled: true(retain entry; do not delete) — switching from prior delete-and-replace pattern to the existing-but-unusedcancelledflag pattern (Approach B) - Add a new cancelled-only entry
sum2-managing-growing-companies("Managing Growing Companies") to Summer Set 2 withcancelled: trueand no qualifications, restoring the printed sheet's 5-slot listing - Update test assertions in
app/src/data/__tests__/data.test.tsto reflect the 15th specialization, the 5-entry sum2 set, and revised per-spec set counts (BRM, MKT losespr5-customer-insights)
Capabilities
New Capabilities
None — this is a data refresh that uses existing capabilities (course-data, specialization-ranking).
Modified Capabilities
course-data: Add Healthcare specialization, four HCR cross-listings, the renamed Digital Marketing course, and two cancelled-flag entries. Adoptcancelled: true(Approach B) as the standing pattern for cancelled courses, superseding the prior delete-and-replace approach.
