The matcher stops trusting what the user can't see

Browse Source 
Eric's question cut to the bone: "How would a user know? It matched
wiz-war and that IS the game." The auto looked unanimous because the
matcher discarded the evidence of doubt before anyone saw it — and
worse, BGG's search hides evidence of its own: results truncate
unordered in the several-hundreds (the game named "Dungeon!" appears
in NEITHER the "Dungeon!" nor the "Dungeon" search), and punctuation
can bury matches.

Three matcher changes: every title is searched raw AND depuncted,
merged by id; a name that becomes exact once its trailing
parenthetical is stripped ("Wiz-War (Eighth Edition)") is a sibling
edition — BGG files new editions as separate games — and enters the
candidate set at exact grade, so same-named lineages land in review as
a visible choice; and a LONE candidate must now earn trust (stats
fetched, sibling-grade never autos alone, true exacts must clear the
dominance ownership floor) — closing the fast path both impostors
(.dungeon at 31 owners, then Dungeon (ICP)) walked through.

Recorded outcomes: WIZ-WAR → ambiguous with all three lineages on the
ballot; Dungeon! → ambiguous (its true match is beyond BGG's search
horizon — that's what manual id is for); every legitimate auto in the
fixture set held. And the answer to Eric's second question is now
structural: re-match never re-decides — it demotes to unmatched and
the HUMAN picks from re-search or manual id; the machine only chooses
on first resolve, and it now chooses more humbly.

<description>In this first expansion to Wingspan, we increase the scope of the world to include the regal, beautiful, and varied birds of Europe. These birds feature a variety of new abilities, including a number of birds with round end abilities, abilities that increase interaction between players, and birds that benefit from excess cards/food. Along with the new bonus cards, they&amp;rsquo;re designed to be shuffled into the original decks of cards (and cards from future expansions).
The European Expansion also includes an additional tray for storing the growing collection of birds (past, present, and future), as well as 15 purple eggs, extra food tokens, and a colorful new scorepad designed for both multi-player and single-player scoring. It's designed by Elizabeth Hargrave and features birds illustrated by Natalia Rojas and Ana Maria Martinez.
