Add a game by hand: the fourth curation store

BGG wants base game and expansion as separate collection entries, but
a box that stores its expansion's bits shows one spine to the camera —
the hidden half was unreachable. "add a game" on the Titles page
records an entry in data/title_additions.json (committed, like every
curation store), joined into every rebuild BEFORE edits and dedupe: so
corrections apply to it, a later photo sighting of the same game
merges instead of duplicating (photo provenance wins), and re-adding
an existing title is a no-op. Photo-less lines show an "added by hand"
chip where their photo links would be; from resolve onward they are
ordinary titles.

- 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.
- **Human curation is durable**: `data/title_splits.json` (photo-scoped split-into-copies decisions, honored by extract's dedupe AND resolve's dedupe), `data/title_edits.json` (corrected reads/cues, applied before dedupe on every titles.json rebuild), and `data/title_removals.json` (lines removed from the catalog — filtered out of every rebuild; delete the record to undo) persist forever. 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). 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.
