End-to-end run: extract -> resolve -> review -> diff on real data

27 titles from 4 shelf photos against the real 2018 collection snapshot: 19 already owned, 8 to add (2 with confident versions), 9 additive version updates for hand-entered version-less entries. Review rescued the "Hebarceos" vision misread via re-search and settled Wiz-War as the Eighth Edition; Dungeon!'s three same-publisher TSR editions correctly stay unresolved rather than guessed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Progressive title truncation, publisher tiebreak, thematic-year fix

 - Per game: navigate to the game page → "Add to Collection" flow → status **Owned** → if a version_id is known, set it in the collection item's version picker → save. Never guess a version — omit it when unknown. The flow has been walked and documented: see `docs/bgg-upload-flow.md` for the dialog structure, version-picker behavior (paginated, no search — match by canonical version NAME from the XML API), and observed automation gotchas (stale elements, hidden-not-removed dialogs, hydration races).

+- A second copy of an owned game must be a NEW collection entry (new collid), not an edit of the existing item. Conversely, version UPGRADES from to_update.csv must edit the EXISTING item (same collid) — additive only: fill the empty version field, change nothing else, and skip any entry that already has a version.

 - Fetch my current collection: `https://boardgamegeek.com/xmlapi2/collection?username=<me>&own=1` (handle the 202-retry queue; also pass `&subtype=boardgameexpansion` in a second call — the collection endpoint excludes expansions from the default subtype).
 - Output `to_add.csv`: approved/auto matches whose IDs are **not** already in the collection.
 - **Multiple editions of the same game**: collection items are identified by `collid` (one per copy), not just `objectid`. If matches contain two entries for the same `bgg_id` with different `version_id`s, both belong in the collection as separate entries. Diff logic: a (bgg_id, version_id) pair is "already owned" only if a collection item matches both; a bare bgg_id with `version_unknown` is "already owned" if any copy of that game exists.
- Print a summary: N recognized, N already owned, N to add (including second editions), N rejected/unmatched.
+- **Improvement pass (to_update)**: for games already owned whose collection entry has NO version set, where photo matching produced a `version_auto`/`version_approved` — emit `to_update.csv` (`collid, bgg_id, bgg_name, version_id, version_name`). This upgrades the hand-entered 2018 entries with edition data from the shelves. Strictly additive: only fill empty version fields; if the collection entry already has a version, never touch it (even if the photo disagrees — report the disagreement in the summary instead).
 - Informational only: list collection entries not seen in any photo (possible missing/loaned/sold games) in the summary. No action taken.
 - Print a summary: N recognized, N already owned, N to add (including second editions), N version updates, N rejected/unmatched.
 ### Stage 5 — `upload`: Add games via Playwright
 - Log in to boardgamegeek.com with credentials from env vars (`BGG_USERNAME`, `BGG_PASSWORD`). Never write credentials to disk or logs. Persist the browser session/storage state locally so repeat runs don't re-login.
 - For each row in `to_add.csv`: navigate to the game page, use the "Add to Collection" flow, set status **Owned**, and — when a `version_id` is present — set the specific version in the collection item's version picker before saving. Manually walk this flow once and document the selectors before automating; the version UI is the most fragile part.
 - Adding a second copy of an already-owned game must create a NEW collection entry, not edit the existing one.
 - **Update mode** (rows from `to_update.csv`): open the EXISTING collection entry (keyed by `collid`) rather than the add flow, set the version, save. Must never create a duplicate entry and never change any other field of the entry. Verify the already-owned dialog behavior manually first — flagged as unverified in `docs/bgg-upload-flow.md`.
 - Log every attempt to `upload_log.csv`: `bgg_id, name, status (added|already_present|failed), timestamp, error`.
 - Idempotent: skip IDs already logged as `added`; re-verify against a fresh collection fetch on `--verify`.
 - Deliberately slow: 2–4 s randomized delay between games. This is a real account on a community site — behave like a polite human.

 6. Credentials never appear in any file, log, or error message.
 7. Where photos show legible edition cues, the matched version survives to the BGG collection entry; where they don't, the entry is added version-less rather than with a guessed version.
 8. A game I own in two editions ends up as two distinct collection entries, and `games.json` contains full metadata for every game in the collection.
 9. Version upgrades land on existing collection entries (same `collid`) with no duplicate entries created and no non-version fields changed; entries that already have a version are never modified.

 """Stub BGG XML fixtures for the 27 titles extracted from the real shelf
 photos, aligned with the objectids in the real collection snapshots.
 Like write_stub_fixtures.py these are hand-written approximations (BGG's
 API is locked until the registration is approved). They cover: the plain
 search per title, empty results for the long Avalon Hill/SPI box titles
 (what real search does with them), the truncated-head retry searches,
 tie-break stats (Cosmic Encounter, Wiz-War, Sorcerer), and version lists
 for every title with publisher/edition/year cues. Once BGG_API_TOKEN
 exists: delete the cache dirs and re-run resolve/record_fixtures to
 replace all of this with real recordings.

 """Stage 4 — diff approved/auto matches against the existing BGG collection.
 Two collection sources:
 - live API (default once BGG_API_TOKEN exists): /collection base + expansion
  subtype calls, merged by collid;
 - snapshot files (fallback): data/collection_snapshot_base.xml +
  data/collection_snapshot_expansions.xml, pulled manually via the
  logged-in-user exemption.
 Outputs both artifacts:
 - to_add.csv    — recognized games not in the collection (new entries);
 - to_update.csv — owned, VERSION-LESS entries where matching produced a
  confident version (version_auto/version_approved). Strictly additive:
  entries that already carry a version are never touched — a photo/version
  disagreement is reported in the summary instead.

Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5	58956f626d	End-to-end run: extract -> resolve -> review -> diff on real data 27 titles from 4 shelf photos against the real 2018 collection snapshot: 19 already owned, 8 to add (2 with confident versions), 9 additive version updates for hand-entered version-less entries. Review rescued the "Hebarceos" vision misread via re-search and settled Wiz-War as the Eighth Edition; Dungeon!'s three same-publisher TSR editions correctly stay unresolved rather than guessed.

Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5	4a466f2a68	Progressive title truncation, publisher tiebreak, thematic-year fix 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.

Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5	09274e039c	Photo-title fixture set + resolve baseline; language-only cues skip fetch 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). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-01 14:09:13 -04:00
Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5	3543005236	Diff stage: snapshot/live collection modes, to_add + to_update outputs 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.
