One self-contained page (inline CSS/JS, system fonts, works offline):
match cards show source photos, extracted cues, and candidates with
cached-XML thumbnails (placeholder tiles until real fixtures exist);
actions are pick / manual BGG id / reject, plus a skippable editions
pass (pick or unknown). Keyboard-first: j/k navigate, 1-9 pick, r
reject, m manual, u unknown, d dismiss. Every decision writes
matches.csv through the same ReviewSession methods the TUI now shares —
the TUI remains as the no-flag fallback. unidentified.json renders as
visually distinct reshoot work-orders with dismissals persisted in
data/unidentified_dismissed.json (survives extract rebuilds). Progress
tally and a diff-ready done screen; photo serving is allowlisted to
photos/ contents; server binds 127.0.0.1 only. Layout leaves room for
a later games.json browse view.
Provenance guard: fixture generators now write STUB_FIXTURES.marker
into their cache dirs, and CLAUDE.md gains the hard rule that stub-
resolved version_ids are placeholders — upload must refuse to run
while data/bgg_cache/STUB_FIXTURES.marker exists.

Long transcribed box titles that defeat search now retry with shorter
heads (pre-separator, pre-"Game ..." descriptor, first-two-words from
the pre-subtitle part) matched exact-only against the head — fuzzy
thresholds stay untouched. Tie-breaks gain a publisher pick: when the
box showed a publisher and exactly one exact-named candidate is from
that publisher, it wins (SPI's Sorcerer 1975 now beats the more-owned
White Wizard Sorcerer 2019). The extract prompt excludes thematic/
subject years from year_hint; re-extracting Flat Top's photo drops the
bogus 1942, and a regression test pins that a wrong year can never
drive version selection. Re-extraction also drifted two transcriptions
(DUNGEON!, and Herbaceous misread as "Hebarceos") — fixtures added; the
misread demos review's re-search rescue in the end-to-end run.

Data-driven stub XML for all 27 extracted titles (searches incl. empty
results for the long Avalon Hill/SPI box titles, truncated-head retry
queries for later, tie-break stats with publisher links, version lists
aligned with the real collection objectids). Language-only cues no
longer trigger a versions fetch — language can't reach the plausibility
threshold alone, so the request would always be wasted; it still scores
when stronger cues exist. Baseline resolve: 22 auto, 1 ambiguous
(Wiz-War editions), 4 unmatched (the long box titles — next commit).

compute_diff is a pure function over matches + collection items: new
games land in to_add.csv (carrying a confident version when matching
produced one); owned version-less entries with version_auto/approved
matches produce additive to_update.csv rows keyed by collid, consuming
distinct collids when photos show two editions; entries that already
carry a version are never touched — disagreements are reported in the
summary. Unseen collection entries are listed informationally. Live API
mode activates when BGG_API_TOKEN + username exist; otherwise the two
hand-pulled snapshot XMLs (real 2018 collection, 79 unique copies after
collid dedupe) are used, and they double as parsing fixtures in tests.

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.
