Wrong LeetCode rating displayed

[vd77-1]

Bug Description

LeetCode rating is showing extremely large values (e.g. 3146352), which is actually the user's global ranking being displayed as contest rating.

Expected Behavior

Contest rating should show values between ~1000–2500 or "No rating" if user has not participated.

Actual Behavior

When contest rating is null, global ranking is incorrectly used as rating.

Root Cause (suspected)

Fallback logic in frontend/backend is mapping profile.ranking to contestRating.

Suggested Fix

• Do not fallback contestRating to globalRanking
• Keep rating and ranking strictly separate

Example

• Correct rating: 1650
• Incorrect displayed value: 3146352 (global rank)

Priority

High (data misrepresentation)

Thanks for raising this! @vd77-1

To clarify, when a user has not participated in any contests, the fallback to global rank is an intentional design choice on the single-platform card so the slot isn't left empty, and the label there correctly dynamically switches to "Rank".

However, you are absolutely right that this bug exists when multiple platforms are rendered! In the dedicated competitive coding section (src/renderers/cp-section.renderer.js), the fallback occurs when a user has no contest participation, but the label remains hardcoded as "Rating", showing a massive rank number under the wrong label.

To fix this we could dynamically change the label to 'Rank' in cp-section.renderer.js

I have assigned this issue to you. you can proceed to add a PR
