Batched /thing?stats=1 fetches (20 ids, sorted so batch cache keys stay
stable), parsing the full frontend-seed payload: designers, artists,
publishers, player counts with Best-majority poll analysis, playtimes,
min age, weight, rating, rank, categories, mechanics, description, and
image URLs. Chosen-version details are reused from matches.csv's stored
candidates — zero extra API calls. Already-enriched keys are skipped
entirely; --refresh bypasses the cache read since ranks and ratings
drift. Degrades gracefully without BGG_API_TOKEN: cached ids enrich,
the rest wait, everything fetched is saved.
