"It's here anyway" + the tape measure: the human overrules the packer

Eric, looking at a dense cube full of "no room" and "unmeasured":
how do I say it really IS here, and in what orientation? Two answers.

The packer models one flat pile and one standing row; real shelves are
3-D — boxes sit crosswise, ride on top of piles, stand proud of the
edge. Acknowledge generalizes from overhang-only to the human
overruling the model: "it's here anyway" on any resident the lanes
can't take. An acknowledged box takes a lane when one works (honoring
a flat/standing override; the spine-out case lands relaxed standing,
now tagged ", proud" by the packer itself instead of guessed from
misfit-ness) and otherwise is WEDGED IN: really there, in some
arrangement the model can't see, outside the capacity bars and never
warned about. The previous commit's ackable gate is gone — accepting
always does something now, so no placebo remains to guard against.

And "unmeasured" is no longer a dead end: the chip is a button. Tap,
enter width × length × depth from your own tape measure, and it saves
to data/measurements.json (a new committed curation store) with dims
source "measured" — overlaid on every games.json read (web, dims,
export, CSV import), because the owner's ruler outranks BGG's
database. All three fields empty clears one.

Verified live: Etherfields on the tower reads "standing, proud", an
acknowledged box in a width-starved cube reads "wedged in", the
measure form opens with three inputs, zero page errors.

 - Base game vs. expansion vs. new edition is the top failure mode — bias matching toward `ambiguous` over auto-match ("Wingspan Europe" must not match base Wingspan).
 - Editions/versions matter: Eric owns multiple editions of some games — each is a separate collection entry (keyed by `collid` on BGG). Never guess a version: no legible cues → `version_unknown` and a version-less collection entry.
 - Normalize titles (casefold, strip punctuation/articles, special chars like é/&/:) identically on both sides of a match; dedupe across photos but keep `source_photos` provenance.

Row-level decisions persist via the `dedupe_veto` column — edits never drop veto'd rows (a rename retitles them in place); removal drops them (explicitly discarding the line).

 - **RPGs are local-only citizens**: when the board-game search runs dry, resolve falls back to `type=rpgitem` (same geekdo API/token). RPGGeek items carry their OWN link types (`rpgdesigner`, `rpgpublisher`, `rpggenre`, `rpgcategory`, `rpgmechanic`) — a board-game-only parser silently returns nothing for them. Matched rpgitems enrich into the library but diff routes them to `local_only` — they must never reach `to_add.csv`/upload (their collection lives on RPGGeek, out of scope).
 - Detailed BGG API behavior (202 queueing, collection-endpoint quirks, endpoints): use the `bgg-api` skill. **If the spec's BGG behavior changes, update the `bgg-api` skill to match** — they must not drift.
