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.

Eric's curation session through the new UI — corrected reads and cues
(Dungeons & Dragons, Huggermugger, Patch Work, Verdant, Wiz-War, the
Ain't It Cool Trivia Game, and others) and removed non-game or
duplicate-read lines (publisher spines read as titles like Slugfest
Games and Cheapass Games, a misread "Bird on Your Bread?!", stray
partial reads). titles.json reflects the replayed decisions.

Eric's observation: cleaning up raw reads happens BEFORE resolve, but
the app ordered Review ahead of Catalog and never said proofreading was
a step at all. The pipeline has two human checkpoints — proofread the
reads (after extract), decide the matches (after resolve) — and now the
app says so: the sidebar runs Pipeline, Photos, Titles, Review, Queue,
Library, Help in true workflow order; the Titles page (né Catalog — the
old name suggested a finished collection, which is the Library's job;
/catalog redirects) gets a badge counting unresolved shaky reads; an
edit marks its entry human-verified so the badge drains as you
proofread; the extract stage card nudges toward the proofread before
resolving; and the Help flow is rewritten as six stages + two
checkpoints with the loop called out.

Titles that aren't games (misread box art, out-of-scope items) can now
be removed outright: a danger button in the catalog's edit panel posts
/api/remove-title, which drops the line's matches rows (veto'd ones
too — removal is the human explicitly discarding the line), records the
decision photo-scoped in data/title_removals.json, and replays
titles.json. Every rebuild filters removed sightings after edits and
before dedupe, so re-extraction cannot resurrect them; undo by deleting
the record from the store. The three stores now share one scoped-record
parser and recorder.
