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.

httpx client with injectable clock/sleep/rng for testability. Successful
responses cached under data/bgg_cache/ keyed by endpoint+params; 202
retries follow the spec schedule (2/5/10/30s, give up after 5); 429/503
get jittered exponential backoff; consecutive requests are spaced
rate_limit_seconds apart. Parsers (via defusedxml, per security hook)
cover search, thing (+stats/+versions), and collection, including the
Not Ranked and error-document cases.
