Eric spotted it: the README told people to clone this repo, rm the
committed data, and run — which writes THEIR pipeline artifacts at
git-TRACKED paths. The next `git pull` (this repo commits data every
session) refuses to merge, and the internet's standard remedies for
that error — reset --hard, checkout ., stash, clean -fdx — destroy
their review decisions, hand-written games, upload log, and photos.
Two layers. The README's "Bring your own shelves" now leads with
`uv tool install git+…` and running in a directory of your own: data
lands untracked by construction and a bug fix is `uv tool upgrade`,
which cannot touch it. And because nobody re-reads a README, Config
gains tracked_data_warning(): if artifacts under data_dir are
git-tracked, `bggpipe init` and the web dashboard both warn in plain
words. The owner's exemption is data/.own_repo — a GITIGNORED marker,
so the author's checkout is silent while a fresh clone of the same
repo still gets the warning (a committed marker or config key would
have shipped the exemption to exactly the people who need warning).

The key rotated on every server restart, stranding every phone that
held the previous cookie — during active development that guaranteed a
wall of refusals from stale polling tabs after each restart. The key
now lives in data/.lan_key (gitignored, 0600 — the Playwright-state
treatment for credential-adjacent files) and is reused across
restarts; delete the file to rotate. A keyless browser navigation now
gets a one-line HTML page saying what to do instead of raw JSON.

Per-photo raw results cached under data/extract_raw/ (gitignored) so
re-runs are free, --only re-extracts a single photo, and titles.json is
rebuilt with dedupe that keeps conflicting-edition sightings separate.
HEIC converts via pillow-heif; images downscale to <=1568px long edge;
model JSON parsed defensively (code fences, surrounding prose). Vision
callable is injectable — tests use a local fake; the real one uses the
anthropic SDK (approved) with the model from config.toml.
