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.

Both resolve as unmatched by design — it's an RPG (geekdo rpgitem), so
the boardgame search realistically returns nothing; empty-search stubs
cover all five queries incl. truncation heads. Resolve also merged six
duplicate reads across photos (Hebarceos -> Herbaceous et al.).

One self-contained page (inline CSS/JS, system fonts, works offline):
match cards show source photos, extracted cues, and candidates with
cached-XML thumbnails (placeholder tiles until real fixtures exist);
actions are pick / manual BGG id / reject, plus a skippable editions
pass (pick or unknown). Keyboard-first: j/k navigate, 1-9 pick, r
reject, m manual, u unknown, d dismiss. Every decision writes
matches.csv through the same ReviewSession methods the TUI now shares —
the TUI remains as the no-flag fallback. unidentified.json renders as
visually distinct reshoot work-orders with dismissals persisted in
data/unidentified_dismissed.json (survives extract rebuilds). Progress
tally and a diff-ready done screen; photo serving is allowlisted to
photos/ contents; server binds 127.0.0.1 only. Layout leaves room for
a later games.json browse view.
Provenance guard: fixture generators now write STUB_FIXTURES.marker
into their cache dirs, and CLAUDE.md gains the hard rule that stub-
resolved version_ids are placeholders — upload must refuse to run
while data/bgg_cache/STUB_FIXTURES.marker exists.

Long transcribed box titles that defeat search now retry with shorter
heads (pre-separator, pre-"Game ..." descriptor, first-two-words from
the pre-subtitle part) matched exact-only against the head — fuzzy
thresholds stay untouched. Tie-breaks gain a publisher pick: when the
box showed a publisher and exactly one exact-named candidate is from
that publisher, it wins (SPI's Sorcerer 1975 now beats the more-owned
White Wizard Sorcerer 2019). The extract prompt excludes thematic/
subject years from year_hint; re-extracting Flat Top's photo drops the
bogus 1942, and a regression test pins that a wrong year can never
drive version selection. Re-extraction also drifted two transcriptions
(DUNGEON!, and Herbaceous misread as "Hebarceos") — fixtures added; the
misread demos review's re-search rescue in the end-to-end run.

Data-driven stub XML for all 27 extracted titles (searches incl. empty
results for the long Avalon Hill/SPI box titles, truncated-head retry
queries for later, tie-break stats with publisher links, version lists
aligned with the real collection objectids). Language-only cues no
longer trigger a versions fetch — language can't reach the plausibility
threshold alone, so the request would always be wasted; it still scores
when stronger cues exist. Baseline resolve: 22 auto, 1 ambiguous
(Wiz-War editions), 4 unmatched (the long box titles — next commit).

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.
