The card read "1 version updates" while upload said "skipping 1 already
done". Both were right. Recon on the live site shows the update DID
apply — the version cell reads "English first edition Year: 2012" and
its radio is checked — but BGG's XML collection export still reports
that collid with no version, even on a forced refresh. diff reads the
API, so it re-queued finished work; the log correctly refused it.
Nothing to fix in the flow: the pipeline card now counts PENDING jobs
(queue rows minus what the log completed) for both to_add and
to_update, reports outstanding failures rather than every failure ever
logged, and when everything queued is already applied it says so and
names the cause. Documented under "BGG's collection export lags the
site" so the next person doesn't chase it as a bug.

The last unverified flow failed on its guess — the collection row has no
link named "own"; the edit affordances are icon anchors with no text. The
site offers something far better, now verified: the row's VERSION CELL
carries its own collid in an onclick, and the inline editor it opens is a
radio list whose values ARE version ids.
So an update addresses the copy by collid and the edition by version id —
no name matching, no pagination, no dialog, and structurally incapable of
creating a duplicate entry (it sets one field on one collid). Clicking
the radio fires CE_SaveData itself; there is no Save button, and the save
has landed when the cell stops reading "Editing". A version id the editor
doesn't offer aborts with the entry untouched.
The class docstring's UNVERIFIED list is now empty but for the
second-copy add, which --verify already reports as a copy-count
shortfall.

Sleeping Gods and Gloomhaven "vanished on the second pass" because the
second pass began wherever the first ended: closing and reopening the
version sub-view does NOT reset it to page 1 (Angular keeps the scope),
so the rescan started mid-list and never revisited the earlier pages
holding the row. Verified against the live picker.
The second pass now clicks the visible numbered "1" anchor first — and
so does the initial scan, since paging state can outlive anything. The
reopen is gone entirely. Docs record both this and the has_text
whitespace trap.

Munchkin Big Box and Tang Garden hung 30s each on a "First Page" anchor
that exists but is invisible: BGG renders every paging control twice,
and the First/Prev pair lives only in the mobile set
(<li class="visible-xs-inline">). A desktop viewport can never click it.
Paging now selects the first VISIBLE match, and returning to page 1
closes and reopens the sub-view (which always opens on page 1) instead
of reaching for a control that isn't there. A test proves no hidden
control is ever clicked — the fake picker raises if one is.

Five games uploaded; two landed version-less. Neither was the picker's
fault: paging is an AngularJS <ul class="pagination"> of anchors, not
buttons named "next", so the old guess found no control and quit after
page one — and BGG's API version names carry printing qualifiers the
picker omits ("English edition 2018-2" vs "(English edition) (2018)").
_select_version now scans the WHOLE list (verified selectors: rows are
<li>s with a thumbnail; a[title="Next Page"] advances; the parent <li>
disables at the end), collects every candidate, then decides: one exact
match wins; failing that, one match after stripping a trailing year
qualifier wins and says so; several matches are refused outright rather
than guessed, and the reason reaches upload_log.csv. Both call sites
carry the reason through.
docs/bgg-upload-flow.md records what the live site actually does —
including that every login-gate selector the doc called "verified" was
wrong, while the "unverified" dialog structure was right.

Queue from to_add/to_update minus upload_log.csv (append-per-attempt,
so runs resume); per-game failure isolation with 2-4s pacing;
--dry-run/--verify/--retry-failed/--limit; stub-fixture marker blocks
real runs, dry-run warns. Headed browser by default: live recon showed
Cloudflare Turnstile hard-blocks headless, and BGG never reaches
networkidle. Login selectors verified anonymously; version-picker
pagination and the collection-row update flow remain unverified until
real data exists. Client collection fetches gain a refresh passthrough
so --verify sees the live collection, not cache.
