A skeptical-cloner review flagged the patterns that read as AI-iteration
residue: test comments and section headers narrating the review process
that produced them, "legacy format" framing in a days-old repo, shadow
re-imports appended without reading file headers, one genuine machine
leftover (FIXTURE_CACHE = FIXTURE_CACHE), and a few register slips.
Every history-narrating comment is rewritten as the timeless invariant
it was guarding, test sections are grouped by behavior, function-local
imports are hoisted, and the README loses its one marketing clause and
heaviest dash runs. No behavior changes; 176 tests unchanged and green.

The re-run confirmed round 1 held and then caught second-order bugs in
its own fixes plus two long-standing ones everyone missed. TUI decisions
after a mid-session reload were counted but never written (rows are now
re-adopted into the fresh list on every save, preferring undecided slots
on duplicate keys); row_ix was computed by equality so duplicate rows
shared an ordinal (identity now, merges included, veto sends it); upload
job keys collided for two same-version copies (completions are counted
per key, so --limit or an interrupt can no longer strand the second
copy); diff consumes collids on exact-version matches (a vetoed
same-version second copy was silently swallowed) and splits mismatches:
report-only disagreement while an unclaimed copy exists, second-copy add
only when every copy is claimed.
Also: XML responses are validated and written atomically before caching
(a torn or truncated 200 body can never poison a re-run), JSON artifacts
write atomically, thing/search parsers refuse missing ids like the
collection parser, empty game names are refused by the upload queue, a
never-rendering version picker fails retryably instead of terminally,
the systemic-failure abort compares exception types, blocked same-title
entries defer as a group so positional pairing can't misalign,
truncation heads pick the earliest separator, diff messages tell the
truth when a token exists without a username, and the shared-constant
sweep now actually covers every module (statuses, search types, marker
names, client_for, ports). pydantic declared as a direct dependency.

Correctness: review vetoes persist via a dedupe_veto column (resolve
re-runs no longer overturn humans); diff emits second copies whose
confident version matches no owned copy (spec: pairs own only on both
ids) and fetches the live collection with refresh; resolve pairs
titles.json entries to rows by title so a reshoot photo updates
provenance instead of duplicating rows; version lookups survive empty
/thing results; publisher tie-break now honors the mixed
base/expansion veto and refuses multi-candidate picks; empty-normalized
(non-Latin) titles never count as exact.
Upload: LoginError aborts a run instead of logging N bogus failures
(and 3 identical consecutive failures abort as systemic); Cloudflare
interstitials are detected; added-without-version gets its own logged
status that verify understands; same-game updates run one per pass so
the name-targeted row edit can't overwrite a fresh version; absent
diff outputs fail loudly; pagination clicks are paced.
Web review: a lock serializes freshen/decide (threadpool race dropped
decisions); failed saves roll memory back and always alert the browser
(non-JSON 500s included); session warnings reach the page instead of a
StringIO; state-load failures and dead servers show banners instead of
a blank page; duplicate (title, photos) rows are addressable by
ordinal.
Consistency: shared CONFIDENT_VERSION_STATUSES, client_for(),
Config paths for every artifact, one review-port constant, named
matching thresholds, strict collection-id parsing, error-doc responses
never cached, unknown config keys warn, extract reports dropped vision
entries, fixture generators share escaping + marker text.

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.
