When the board-game search (and truncation heads) runs dry, resolve
falls back to type=rpgitem — the geekdo database is shared, so the same
API, token, cache, and classification machinery apply. Matched rpgitems
flow through review and enrich normally but diff routes them to a
local_only bucket, structurally outside to_add/to_update: their
collections live on RPGGeek, beyond this pipeline's write scope. The
library page gains an All/Board games/RPGs filter and an "RPG · local
only" badge; the catalog tags them too. Fixture generators write blanket
empty rpgitem stubs for every known query (the fallback fires for every
unmatched title) with real synthetic entries for Alice Is Missing.
Data: both Alice rows re-resolved from unmatched to auto rpgitem
matches. First diff since the audit reworks also lands their real-data
consequences: Dungeon! gains its TSR edition update on a versionless
copy the old claim ordering missed, to_add rows carry unioned reshoot
provenance, and the Herbaceous typo row's survivor is now the
correctly-spelled title.

compute_diff is a pure function over matches + collection items: new
games land in to_add.csv (carrying a confident version when matching
produced one); owned version-less entries with version_auto/approved
matches produce additive to_update.csv rows keyed by collid, consuming
distinct collids when photos show two editions; entries that already
carry a version are never touched — disagreements are reported in the
summary. Unseen collection entries are listed informationally. Live API
mode activates when BGG_API_TOKEN + username exist; otherwise the two
hand-pulled snapshot XMLs (real 2018 collection, 79 unique copies after
collid dedupe) are used, and they double as parsing fixtures in tests.

bggpipe resolve works end to end: search -> exact/fuzzy candidate
scoring -> auto/ambiguous/unmatched classification with owned-count
tie-breaks (mixed base/expansion candidates never auto-match), version
scoring from edition cues (never guessed; no cues -> version_unknown),
idempotent matches.csv appends.
Discovered mid-build: BGG now requires registered-application Bearer
tokens on the XML API (2025 policy change) and returns 401 otherwise.
Client sends Authorization from BGG_API_TOKEN and raises an actionable
BGGAuthError; CLAUDE.md and the bgg-api skill are updated to match.
Live fixture recording is blocked until registration is approved, so
tests replay hand-crafted stub fixtures via a network-refusing
transport; scripts/record_fixtures.py re-records real XML under the
same cache keys once a token exists. One live read-only smoke test is
skipped unless --run-live.

Design spec for the bggpipe shelf-to-BGG pipeline, CLAUDE.md and
bgg-api skill capturing BGG API constraints, ruff format-on-edit
hook, README, LICENSE, and .gitignore.
