When the board-game search (and truncation heads) runs dry, resolve
falls back to type=rpgitem — the geekdo database is shared, so the same
API, token, cache, and classification machinery apply. Matched rpgitems
flow through review and enrich normally but diff routes them to a
local_only bucket, structurally outside to_add/to_update: their
collections live on RPGGeek, beyond this pipeline's write scope. The
library page gains an All/Board games/RPGs filter and an "RPG · local
only" badge; the catalog tags them too. Fixture generators write blanket
empty rpgitem stubs for every known query (the fallback fires for every
unmatched title) with real synthetic entries for Alice Is Missing.
Data: both Alice rows re-resolved from unmatched to auto rpgitem
matches. First diff since the audit reworks also lands their real-data
consequences: Dungeon! gains its TSR edition update on a versionless
copy the old claim ordering missed, to_add rows carry unioned reshoot
provenance, and the Herbaceous typo row's survivor is now the
correctly-spelled title.

A skeptical-cloner review flagged the patterns that read as AI-iteration
residue: test comments and section headers narrating the review process
that produced them, "legacy format" framing in a days-old repo, shadow
re-imports appended without reading file headers, one genuine machine
leftover (FIXTURE_CACHE = FIXTURE_CACHE), and a few register slips.
Every history-narrating comment is rewritten as the timeless invariant
it was guarding, test sections are grouped by behavior, function-local
imports are hoisted, and the README loses its one marketing clause and
heaviest dash runs. No behavior changes; 176 tests unchanged and green.

Round 3's two HIGHs: _fill_version resolved versions with the LAST
same-title entry's cues (photo-aware lookup existed since round 1 but
this caller never used it), and the round-2 diff rework let an earlier
row's disagreement consume the exact-version copy a later row matched.
Diff claims now settle strongest-first across all rows (exact matches,
then versionless upgrades, then disagreement/second-copy), unvetoed
bare duplicates stay owned per spec, and updates are withheld with a
manual-fix note whenever any copy of the game already carries a version
(the row edit targets by name and could hit the wrong copy).
Also: entry-to-row pairing matches by photo overlap before position
(titles.json order churn from reshoot filenames could swap editions);
BGGQueueTimeout defers a title like a missing token; DismissStore
writes atomically, mutates memory only after the write, and
quarantines a torn file instead of bricking the server; version-picker
page-limit exhaustion stays retryable; verify's copy-count shortfall
reports once per game (the old guard was dead code); the upload log
header is created atomically; transient version-lookup failures record
a retryable version_error, not terminal version_unknown; extract
isolates per-photo failures and salvages JSON followed by prose; a
state revision counter stops stale poll responses reverting decisions;
plus the shared-predicate/fsio/docstring consolidation and CLI wiring,
live-diff, verify-wiring, and search-guard tests.

The re-run confirmed round 1 held and then caught second-order bugs in
its own fixes plus two long-standing ones everyone missed. TUI decisions
after a mid-session reload were counted but never written (rows are now
re-adopted into the fresh list on every save, preferring undecided slots
on duplicate keys); row_ix was computed by equality so duplicate rows
shared an ordinal (identity now, merges included, veto sends it); upload
job keys collided for two same-version copies (completions are counted
per key, so --limit or an interrupt can no longer strand the second
copy); diff consumes collids on exact-version matches (a vetoed
same-version second copy was silently swallowed) and splits mismatches:
report-only disagreement while an unclaimed copy exists, second-copy add
only when every copy is claimed.
Also: XML responses are validated and written atomically before caching
(a torn or truncated 200 body can never poison a re-run), JSON artifacts
write atomically, thing/search parsers refuse missing ids like the
collection parser, empty game names are refused by the upload queue, a
never-rendering version picker fails retryably instead of terminally,
the systemic-failure abort compares exception types, blocked same-title
entries defer as a group so positional pairing can't misalign,
truncation heads pick the earliest separator, diff messages tell the
truth when a token exists without a username, and the shared-constant
sweep now actually covers every module (statuses, search types, marker
names, client_for, ports). pydantic declared as a direct dependency.

Correctness: review vetoes persist via a dedupe_veto column (resolve
re-runs no longer overturn humans); diff emits second copies whose
confident version matches no owned copy (spec: pairs own only on both
ids) and fetches the live collection with refresh; resolve pairs
titles.json entries to rows by title so a reshoot photo updates
provenance instead of duplicating rows; version lookups survive empty
/thing results; publisher tie-break now honors the mixed
base/expansion veto and refuses multi-candidate picks; empty-normalized
(non-Latin) titles never count as exact.
Upload: LoginError aborts a run instead of logging N bogus failures
(and 3 identical consecutive failures abort as systemic); Cloudflare
interstitials are detected; added-without-version gets its own logged
status that verify understands; same-game updates run one per pass so
the name-targeted row edit can't overwrite a fresh version; absent
diff outputs fail loudly; pagination clicks are paced.
Web review: a lock serializes freshen/decide (threadpool race dropped
decisions); failed saves roll memory back and always alert the browser
(non-JSON 500s included); session warnings reach the page instead of a
StringIO; state-load failures and dead servers show banners instead of
a blank page; duplicate (title, photos) rows are addressable by
ordinal.
Consistency: shared CONFIDENT_VERSION_STATUSES, client_for(),
Config paths for every artifact, one review-port constant, named
matching thresholds, strict collection-id parsing, error-doc responses
never cached, unknown config keys warn, extract reports dropped vision
entries, fixture generators share escaping + marker text.

README rewritten for a fresh clone: working status, quick start with
env-var table and per-stage commands, photo-taking guidance, a
bring-your-own-shelves section (this repo carries the author's live
data), tokenless workflows, and a dev section. New committed
data/STUB_DATA.marker closes a real gap: the cache marker is
gitignored, so a fresh clone had stub-derived to_add.csv with no
guard — upload now refuses on either marker. Username docs: BGG_USERNAME
in .env is the one place it's needed; config.toml is a fallback.

Both resolve as unmatched by design — it's an RPG (geekdo rpgitem), so
the boardgame search realistically returns nothing; empty-search stubs
cover all five queries incl. truncation heads. Resolve also merged six
duplicate reads across photos (Hebarceos -> Herbaceous et al.).

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).

First live vision run: 4 shelf photos -> 27 unique titles with edition
cues (publishers, Bookcase Game/Designer's Edition wording, art notes);
cross-photo dedupe merged repeat sightings. data/titles.json now holds
real pipeline data, so the hand-typed resolve test list moves to
tests/data/titles.json (tests and record_fixtures updated), and the
matches.csv generated from stub fixtures for that list is removed —
the real resolve run will regenerate it once the BGG token arrives.

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.
