Eric re-exported to see the new shelves page, got the same summary
line as always, and reasonably concluded nothing happened — while the
wall page sat freshly written on disk. A feature that ships silently
looks like a no-op. The echo now reads "exported N game page(s) + the
shelves page" and the summary dict carries shelves: bool, pinned by
test.

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 idea — the last card in the grid, always visible, carrying the
full piper, the Powered-by-BGG badge, and the legal text. A <div>
rather than an <a>, so the search filter (which selects a.game) can
never hide it: the compliance text is part of the collection, not a
skippable footer. The piper ships from the package's own static art,
credited to Juniper on the card itself.

Five blind reviewers over the day-old export stage; ~30 findings
verified, the big ones sharing one root — a static-site generator
makes promises a pipeline stage doesn't, and the first cut kept none
of them.
URL stability was empirically false two ways: adding an edition whose
key sorted first STOLE the base slug (every colliding URL reshuffled),
and removing the base holder renumbered survivors over the stale
pages' corpses — wrong content at live URLs, not even 404s. And
nothing ever deleted anything: removed games stayed published forever.
One mechanism fixes all of it — a manifest (.bggpipe-export.json) in
the output directory records which slugs the export owns and which
source URL produced each cover. Slugs persist across runs (a published
URL never moves and can never be stolen), stale pages are removed
(only ever manifest-claimed ones — user files are not ours to touch),
replaced box art re-fetches when its URL changes, and "art" is a
reserved name so a game called Art can't move into the asset dir.
Trust-the-network fixes: a 200 response must LOOK like an image (magic
bytes + size) before it's cached, else a CDN interstitial became a
permanent "cover" that re-runs skipped forever; downloads go through
fsio.atomic_write_bytes instead of a hand-rolled fixed-tmp-name dance
(the exact hazard fsio's own docstring warns about); a missing
hand-added cover counts as a failure instead of silently shipping
coverless; the badge file is sniffed too; CDN pacing raised to 1s and
written into the spec as an adjudicated carve-out rather than a code
comment's private opinion.
Ship-shape: pages write atomically with the index LAST (a killed run
can't publish links to pages that don't exist); the CLI exits nonzero
on failures so `export && rsync` can't publish an incomplete site;
footer/fine-print contrast now clears WCAG AA on the sky background;
meta description, og:title/og:image and a favicon stop bare unfurls;
the BGG link moved out of the h1; the noart tile is aria-hidden; the
search box gained a no-matches message; numeric fields from enrich
render instead of crashing the join; years and ids are escaped; the
players/playtime formatters are aligned with their JS twins and both
sides carry keep-in-sync constraint comments; export moved after
enrich in the CLI listing.
Twelve export tests now, including the previously-vacuous atomicity
test rebuilt to actually interrupt a write. One honest loose end: one
full cover re-fetch occurred during rollout that the identical naming
code can't explain; the manifest's URL records make any recurrence
diagnosable. 352 tests.

Eric wanted the library on his blog; the spec always called games.json
"the seed for a future web frontend." The new export stage renders it
as self-contained static pages — an index with search, one page per
game with facts, chips, the owner's edition and the description — that
drop into any static host (Hugo's static/ folder included). No server,
no build step, no external requests from the published pages.
Public pages carry obligations a localhost app doesn't. Cover art is
downloaded once from BGG's CDN instead of hotlinked (0.3s between
fetches — a guest, not a crawler; part-file writes so a failure never
leaves a truncated image; re-runs skip what exists, so the export is
idempotent and resumable like every stage). The footer shows a
Powered-by-BGG badge per BGG's public-app policy — text by default,
upgraded to the official logo when the owner saves it from their
registered-application page as data/powered-by-bgg.png — plus the
trademark attribution. And one privacy rule, tested: shelf photos are
never exported; they picture the inside of the owner's home. Covers
and hand-added local art only, per Eric's explicit choice.
Slugs are deterministic and collision-stable (two editions of one game
get -2 suffixes in sorted-key order) so re-exports keep every URL.
Descriptions un-double-encode BGG's entities. First real run: 136
pages, 254 covers, 64MB, live on the blog's static directory.
