Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5 59f4b8c43c The real-data era: token live, stubs retired, editions on demand 
BGG application approved. The migration the stub markers guarded for
weeks: both synthetic caches deleted; tests/fixtures/bgg_cache
re-recorded from the live API (recording list extended to every
scenario the suite exercises — Civilization truncation, the Sorcerer
SPI tiebreak, StarForce, Flat Top's thematic year, Alice Is Missing's
rpgitem fallback); resolve --force re-matched all 133 titles for real
(109 auto, 6 ambiguous, 18 unmatched, 30 edition ballots);
data/STUB_DATA.marker deleted with its exit condition met — the guard
mechanism stays armed should stubs ever regenerate.

Reality fixed one bug and taught one lesson. The bug: a multi-type
search lists an expansion twice (once per matched type) and the parser
kept the generic boardgame entry — parse_search now dedupes by id
preferring the specific type, which is what keeps expansion tagging
(the base-vs-expansion review guard) alive on real data. The lesson:
hand-built ambiguity is tidier than the real thing — Wingspan has 46
versions with three plausible English Stonemaier printings, so the
suite's synthetic version ids and version_auto expectations became
real ballots (assertions updated to recorded reality; the cue-plumbing
test keeps its crafted two-version scenario via an injected
transport).

New: pick edition. A cue-less matched row is version_unknown by design
(never guess) — but the owner knows which printing the box is.
open_version_ballot() fetches the game's complete version list,
cue-scores it when cues exist, and marks the row version_ambiguous so
the normal Review edition pass presents it; the Titles page grows the
button (Eric's three Wiz-Wars: two cue-less copies can now each claim
their edition).

<name type="primary" sortindex="1" value="Flat Top" />
<description>Flat Top is a board wargame of high complexity that covers the battles of the Solomon Seas between the United States and Japan in 1942. It is very well researched and covers all aspects of naval and air combat as it existed in 1942. The system depicts weather, air searches, air combat, surface combat, carrier operations, submarines, air bases, supplies, and much more. The game requires intense planning and searching since movement is covert and the map is huge.
The units are individual ships and submarines with each air point representing three aircraft. Hexes are twenty miles, and each turn represents one hour.
The game includes thirteen hundred counters, 4 maps to create a 44" x 28" map of the South Pacific, four Allied/Japanese operations cards, three player aid cards and two log sheets.
First edition Battle Line has two counter card sheets containing 800 counters.
