The real-data era: token live, stubs retired, editions on demand

Browse Source 
BGG application approved. The migration the stub markers guarded for
weeks: both synthetic caches deleted; tests/fixtures/bgg_cache
re-recorded from the live API (recording list extended to every
scenario the suite exercises — Civilization truncation, the Sorcerer
SPI tiebreak, StarForce, Flat Top's thematic year, Alice Is Missing's
rpgitem fallback); resolve --force re-matched all 133 titles for real
(109 auto, 6 ambiguous, 18 unmatched, 30 edition ballots);
data/STUB_DATA.marker deleted with its exit condition met — the guard
mechanism stays armed should stubs ever regenerate.

Reality fixed one bug and taught one lesson. The bug: a multi-type
search lists an expansion twice (once per matched type) and the parser
kept the generic boardgame entry — parse_search now dedupes by id
preferring the specific type, which is what keeps expansion tagging
(the base-vs-expansion review guard) alive on real data. The lesson:
hand-built ambiguity is tidier than the real thing — Wingspan has 46
versions with three plausible English Stonemaier printings, so the
suite's synthetic version ids and version_auto expectations became
real ballots (assertions updated to recorded reality; the cue-plumbing
test keeps its crafted two-version scenario via an injected
transport).

New: pick edition. A cue-less matched row is version_unknown by design
(never guess) — but the owner knows which printing the box is.
open_version_ballot() fetches the game's complete version list,
cue-scores it when cues exist, and marks the row version_ambiguous so
the normal Review edition pass presents it; the Titles page grows the
button (Eric's three Wiz-Wars: two cue-less copies can now each claim
their edition).

<description>Sorcerer is a fantasy wargame. Each player has an army consisting of Sorcerers, human infantry, and magical units (trolls, demons, and dragons). Sorcerers specialize in types of magic represented by 7 different colors. Sorcerer adds a twist to the old "combat differential" system (attack strength minus defense strength) by adding a circular system of combat bonuses based upon what colors of magic are attacking each other; Blue/Green/Yellow/Grey/Orange/Red/Purple with each color having a strong advantage over it's neighbor to the right (with Purple circling around to have power over Blue) and a disadvantage against it's neighbor to the left, with lessening combat bonuses the further away the color is from itself. Combat bonuses are also given based on map position as the hexes alternate colors of magic instead of representing physical terrain. Attacking from one's own color is good.
Several different scenarios are included in the rulebook that range from 1 to 6 players.
