Eric, looking at a dense cube full of "no room" and "unmeasured":
how do I say it really IS here, and in what orientation? Two answers.
The packer models one flat pile and one standing row; real shelves are
3-D — boxes sit crosswise, ride on top of piles, stand proud of the
edge. Acknowledge generalizes from overhang-only to the human
overruling the model: "it's here anyway" on any resident the lanes
can't take. An acknowledged box takes a lane when one works (honoring
a flat/standing override; the spine-out case lands relaxed standing,
now tagged ", proud" by the packer itself instead of guessed from
misfit-ness) and otherwise is WEDGED IN: really there, in some
arrangement the model can't see, outside the capacity bars and never
warned about. The previous commit's ackable gate is gone — accepting
always does something now, so no placebo remains to guard against.
And "unmeasured" is no longer a dead end: the chip is a button. Tap,
enter width × length × depth from your own tape measure, and it saves
to data/measurements.json (a new committed curation store) with dims
source "measured" — overlaid on every games.json read (web, dims,
export, CSV import), because the owner's ruler outranks BGG's
database. All three fields empty clears one.
Verified live: Etherfields on the tower reads "standing, proud", an
acknowledged box in a width-starved cube reads "wedged in", the
measure form opens with three inputs, zero page errors.

Eric clicked accept-overhang on two boxes in a Kallax cube and got an
"overhang ✓" pill with no lane behind it. The cube's flat pile claims
11.7 of 13.25 inches of width, leaving 1.55 inches of standing lane —
acknowledging waives depth and height, never width, so nothing changed.
That opening is overfull, not overhung, and the button was a placebo.
The sheet now probes before offering: a laneless resident gets the
accept button only when acknowledging would actually land it a lane;
otherwise it's marked "no room" with the honest tooltip. Acknowledged
boxes that DID land show "▮ standing, proud" (their lane isn't
flippable — proud of the shelf is the whole point), plus the
retractable "overhang ✓". Verified against the live wall: the three
Etherfields monoliths on the tower's big row read standing-proud, the
squeezed cube residents read no-room, zero page errors.

Eric's office towers are 9.5 inches deep; Etherfields boxes are 11.8
inches square. Spine-out they stand 2.3 inches proud of the shelf edge
— clearly livable, it's how they sit today — but the lane model will
honestly refuse forever: can't stand (11.8 > 9.5 depth), can't stack
flat (same), so the opening warns NO PACKING FITS. The first deliberate
misfit deserves first-class status.
An assignment can now carry acknowledged: true. An acknowledged box
takes the standing lane WITHOUT the height/depth check — the human has
seen the overhang — while the width budget stays honest (nine
acknowledged monoliths still overflow a 23.25-inch row). It drops out
of misfit/laneless warnings everywhere: the wall diagram, the sheet,
and bggpipe dims (which now says "overhangs, acknowledged" instead).
Ways in: an "accept overhang" button in the opening's sheet (appears
on any resident the lanes can't take; tap again to retract), or an
acknowledge column (yes) in shelve --import. Once acknowledged, later
imports needn't re-state it.
Re-import hardening, prompted by Eric's "will a new import make a
mess?": it's an upsert, not a reset — and now genuinely so. Previously
a re-import preserved notes but silently wiped lane overrides; now
notes, lanes, and acknowledgments all survive when the opening is
unchanged (a move resets lane and acknowledgment — new spot, new
verdict). Same fix in /api/locate: the lane-flip button used to wipe
the hand-entered note because LocateBody.note defaulted to "" —
it's now tri-state, None means leave it alone.

Eric: styled buttons look great, but edit-description does nothing.
One missing character — .forEach(b = instead of (b => — turned the
callback into a strict-mode ReferenceError that killed wire() midway:
everything bound before the typo (rename, duplicate) worked,
everything after (edit description, its save, the add-opening submit)
silently never bound, and the throw hid inside an async refresh where
no pageerror fires. Fixed and verified live: description edits save,
add-opening works again.
And Eric's next question answered in code: things live ON the
furniture too. The add-opening form gains an "at the top" checkbox —
new openings (or whole grids) land above the existing rows instead of
below, so "on top of the Kallax" is one labeled opening away. Give it
real width/depth and the height to your ceiling, or no sizes for a
no-limit display spot.

Eric's ask. duplicate-unit clones the STRUCTURE — openings with their
sizes, zones, and descriptions, under fresh ids and the first free
"<name> 2"-style name — never the game assignments. And because a
copy immediately wants a real name, units gained rename: opening ids
are stable through it so locations and export URLs never notice, and
a rename-only edit no longer risks wiping the description (the body
field learned the None-means-leave-alone convention). Tests pin the
disjoint ids, the empty copy, the numbering past taken names, and
the wipe-nothing rename.

Eric's wall answered the orientation question with a screenshot full
of red: the capacity model assumed one flat stack per opening, so his
spine-out cubes read 200% full. His reviewer's prescription, built to
its acceptance cases: each opening packs a FLAT lane (thinnest axes
against interior height, claiming the widest flat box's width) and a
STANDING lane beside it (boxes on edge against the remaining width;
standing boxes must fit height and depth upright). The largest-
footprint class lies flat, smaller boxes stand, any box's lane is
flippable per-assignment (▬/▮ toggle in the opening view, ✱ marks an
override), and ⚠ now means NO packing fits — not merely "tall stack".
Unmeasured boxes take no lane but keep their honesty tag; dual fill
bars show each lane's budget; a broken opening is never offered by
the suggester. On the real wall: the double-wides and half the cubes
went green (7 games = 13.12" flat + 2.91" standing), and the
remaining warnings mark cubes that genuinely hold 12-16 boxes.
Both reviewer acceptance tests pass verbatim.
And the export gains the humanity Eric asked for: game pages say
where each box lives, containers list their contents, and a shelves
page draws the wall as it physically stands — proportional cells,
zones, descriptions, every opening linking its residents. Publishing
a shelf layout is a choice: --no-shelves keeps the layer out.
"shelves" joins "art" as a reserved slug. 387 tests.

Eric's correction: the opening-level description shipped, but the
unit deserved one as well (my own example sentence was unit-scale
prose). Units take a description at creation and edit it in place —
a linkish add/edit control under the unit's name with an inline
input — shown as quiet meta text on the card and stored in
furniture.json. Label addresses, zone matches, descriptions explain;
now at both scales.

Eric's ask. Free text on any opening ("tall bookcase by the window —
kids reach the bottom rows"), edited in the opening settings sheet,
shown under the sheet's title, and surfaced as the cell's hover title
on the wall diagram. Stored in furniture.json like everything else.

Eric asked what the ↑↓ buttons did — the honest answer was "reorder a
flat list that no longer exists, and fragment your wall diagram if
pushed across a row boundary" (A1, B1, A2 renders as THREE rows under
the letter-grouped layout). The useful half survives as ← → "move
within its row"; the endpoint clamps at row-letter boundaries so the
diagram can't fragment. Tests pin both the clamp and the legitimate
within-row swap; the acceptance flow's reorder step updated to match
the new semantics.

Three requests from Eric plus his reviewer's ranking doctrine.
The unit renders its PHYSICAL shape: openings group into rows by
their label letters and each cell's width is proportional to its
interior width — the Kallax reads as two double-wides spanning the
top, then four-across cube rows. A diagram of the wall, not a list.
The toggle buttons died: "Add a unit" and "Add an opening" are
labeled, always-visible forms — the button that merely revealed the
form below it was ceremony.
Suggestions got their relevance doctrine, three rules deep:
(1) Reunification beats geometry — an opening holding a series-mate
or base game (kinship = the normalized pre-colon name stem, plus the
series field where enrich has one; no taxonomy invented) ranks first,
marked ♥. Every placement the owner confirms teaches the suggester
their organization by example; expansions chase their base games
automatically during the move. (2) "Fits" means the REMAINING
opening: the stack budget already spent is subtracted before
offering, so the suggester's honesty holds precisely as shelves fill
— the direction it used to degrade. (3) Then tightest verified fit,
so a small box is offered cubes and never the oversize row. Nothing
matching says "no matching openings yet" instead of offering
everything the wall has.
One composed test pins the interplay: a full shelf isn't offered even
to a series-mate (honesty outranks reunification), and freeing the
space flips the same suggestion to ♥-first. 382 tests.

Five blind reviewers over the day-old shelves layer, ~28 verified
findings — plus Eric's screenshot catching the biggest one live: the
generic .card is flex (built for review's photo-beside-ballot layout),
so unit headers shared a row with their grids and unshelved rows
flowed horizontally off the page. Shelf cards are now .card.stack.
The model fixes. Containment chains resolve recursively with a cycle
guard — minis inside an insert inside a big box live where the big box
does, instead of vanishing from every list; the stored-in endpoint
walks the whole chain when refusing cycles, and clears the newly
contained game's own shelf spot (one box must never consume capacity
in two openings). Contained games are listed residents but occupy no
shelf space: only physical boxes are stacked and fit-checked — the web
report now agrees with the dims report about the same opening. A
location pointing at a vanished opening (hand-edited or reverted
store) SURFACES as unshelved with a "shelf gone" chip in the app and
counts as homeless in the CLI, instead of hiding the game from every
list while the page declares everything has a home.
Honest edges. Opening dimensions are all-or-none everywhere (a
half-sized opening silently became limitless; the CLI report crashed
formatting it); a second grid on a unit continues the row letters so
labels stay unique and label-addressed CSV imports keep working, and
row letters survive past Z; CSV re-imports preserve hand-entered
notes; the ambiguity reject names the fix that actually works;
corrupt furniture/locations stores speak a 500 instead of a raw
traceback; the dims help text stops saying Kallax; DIM_AXES gets one
home in models.py instead of three drifting copies; the new stores
join CLAUDE.md's commit registry.
The page behaves. Custom-dims fields hide unless the custom preset is
chosen (typed values were silently discarded); the sheet is a real
dialog (role, aria-modal, Escape, focus return, one layer at a time);
backdrop close requires press AND release on the backdrop (a text-
selection drag out of the search box no longer dismisses); refresh
goes through changeGate and stops wiping the search mid-interaction;
the prompt() chain is an inline per-unit form with client-side
all-or-none validation; unit-create only toasts success after the
openings actually land, recovers from its own half-failures, and
guards against double-submit (a click retried against the re-rendering
DOM built a second grid — caught live in a Playwright run); warnings
speak (aria-labels on ⚠ and overfull in the fill bar's label);
unmeasured boxes are visible in cells and sheet rows; the library's
unshelved filter matches the Shelves page's definition; reorder
buttons have names; the detail locform wraps at phone width.
Eight new regression tests from the seats' sketches; 380 total.

Eric's spec, all nine points. Two committed local-only stores follow
the local_games.json pattern — furniture.json (units of openings with
interior dims; a dimensionless opening is a virtual spot like a travel
case) and locations.json (game key -> opening + note). Shelf layouts
are nobody's data but the owner's; nothing touches upload.
The Shelves page builds furniture without hand-editing JSON — the
acceptance bar (two double-wides above three rows of four cubes, two
bookcases, a travel case) is a TEST, driven entirely through the
endpoints the UI calls. Presets for Kallax/Billy/custom/virtual,
grid creation with A1-style labels, openings editable/deletable/
reorderable. Units render as grids: zone, count, fill bar (stacked
thinnest-axis vs interior height), ⚠ on overfull or any resident that
can't fit. Openings open as a modal — a bottom sheet at phone widths,
search-first with thumb-sized targets for the moving-day loop.
Unshelved games list alongside with one-tap suggestions (only openings
they verifiably fit, with room).
Containment composes: a game stored inside another box inherits its
container's location, rides along in the opening's resident list
(marked), and refuses direct assignment naming its container. The
detail page's where-it-lives card gains the picker (openings grouped
by unit, each labeled fits / doesn't fit / can't verify) plus virtual
notes ("lent to Sarah, June"); the Library list shows a location line,
filters by unit or unshelved, and search matches location text and
zones.
bggpipe dims drops its hardcoded Kallax for the user's actual
furniture: per-opening capacity, overfull and misfit warnings,
unshelved count. bggpipe shelve --import loads a name,opening CSV
(ids or labels), rejecting — never guessing — unknown names, ambiguous
copies, unknown/ambiguous openings, misfits, and contained games.
Ten new tests incl. the acceptance flow, inheritance, CSV rejects,
and a phone-sheet smoke; 372 total.
