A denominator that read as the catalogue, and two names for one capability - #58
Conversation
…ility Four things the ecosystem page was saying that it did not mean. "Share of the 144 listed games that told us what they run" put the identified count exactly where the size of the catalogue belongs. 418 games are listed and 144 had told us a codebase, and a reader with no reason to doubt the sentence came away believing the site lists 144 games — the denominator rule failing in the direction it exists to catch, on the page that argues for it. Both numbers are now in one sentence, in EcosystemCopy so the two surfaces cannot drift, and the trailing paragraph that restated half of it is gone. MSSP had a row in its own adoption table. Its measured side is how the declared column exists at all — every probe asks for it by name — so "123 of 418" is a report on our reach wearing a finding's clothes; its declared side was one game listing MSSP inside its own MSSP report. It is filtered from the table rather than dropped upstream, because the row is a real measurement that goes on being recorded and a single game's matrix is the right place for it. In its place is the sentence reconciling the two counts a reader could otherwise subtract: we hold 131 reports and 123 games offer MSSP today, because a report is not thrown away when a game stops reissuing it. MCCP and MCCP2 were one fact in two half-empty rows, and so were SSL and TLS. The handshake names the telnet option it negotiated and MSSP names the feature, so 87 games were measured under one name above 35 declared under the other, each reading as an absence. CapabilityFields.Canonical now folds both on the way in, 0017 moves the rows already written, and the read path deliberately does not fold — two field names arriving at one capability at read time would add their counts rather than merge them. And the lineage map missed sixteen games that answer the question themselves. Reading the FAMILY already in the store places eleven mudlibs under LPMud and five more under DikuMUD, with no new probe needed. Games publishing FAMILY Custom stay unplaced however obvious their ancestry looks from outside, because a resemblance we noticed does not outrank a game's answer about itself.

…floor Removing it had the argument backwards. Being the protocol we ask for by name is what makes MSSP's measured column trustworthy, not what disqualifies it: we request nothing else, so every other figure in that column is a floor and an unknown number of servers support what they never offered us. MSSP is the one row with a real negative beside it — 295 games were asked and declined — and how much of the hobby publishes MSSP at all is the fact that bounds what this site can learn about the rest of it. What being the instrument actually breaks is the declared cell, and only that. All 131 games whose report we hold have proved they support MSSP by sending one, so there is no population left for a share to be over; the 1 of 131 that rendered was counting which of them also listed MSSP inside their own MSSP report, which measures a habit against a fact. DeclaredShare is null for that one protocol and the cell reads as not asked. A protocol nobody declared is still 0%, because absence of a claim is a claim. The reconciliation sentence stays and now sits above a row it explains rather than in place of one. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Prevent numeric identifier collisions in lineage matching.
Named strips digits from every token, so a non-version identifier such as ROT13 becomes ROT and can be incorrectly classified as DikuMUD. Restrict digit stripping to explicit aliases with known fused-version forms, update the related remarks, and add a regression assertion that CodebaseLineage.Of("ROT13") is null.

Run the added Catalog tests through a real PostgreSQL fixture.
These tests call only CodebaseLineage.Of. They do not create or query a PostgreSQL instance. Test the classification through a migrated real PostgreSQL fixture so the Catalog test suite meets the repository test contract.
As per coding guidelines, “Catalog and Crawler tests must exercise a real PostgreSQL instance rather than silently skip when unavailable.”

144 of 144shares sat under a sentence calling 144 the listing, when 418 games are listed.The denominator
Share of the 144 listed games that told us what they runput the identified count exactly where the size of the catalogue belongs. The shares themselves were right — the 144 codebase counts sum to 144 and every percentage checks out — but the sentence made 144 read as the catalogue. That is the denominator rule failing in the one direction it exists to catch, on the page that argues for it.Both numbers are now in one sentence, in
EcosystemCopyso the rendered page and the plain surface cannot drift, and the trailing paragraph restating half of it is gone.The MSSP row keeps its measured column and loses its declared cell
MSSP is the one protocol we request by name, so it is the only row in that table whose measured column is not a floor: 123 offered, and 295 were asked and declined. Every other measured figure is an undercount, because we never request those options and a server may support what it never offered us. How much of the hobby publishes MSSP at all is also the fact that bounds what this site can learn about the rest of it.
An earlier revision of this branch removed the row on the grounds that it measures the instrument. That was backwards, and the row is back.
What being the instrument does break is the declared cell. All 131 games whose report we hold have demonstrated they support MSSP by sending one, so there is no population left for a share to be over — the
1 of 131that rendered counted which of them also listed MSSP inside their own MSSP report, a habit measured against a fact.DeclaredShareis null for that one protocol and the cell readsnot asked — every report here is the answer. A protocol nobody declared is still0%, because absence of a claim is a claim; the blank is this case alone.Above the table is the sentence reconciling two counts a reader could otherwise subtract: we hold 131 reports and 123 games offer MSSP today. The other 8 stopped publishing one after we read it, and a report is not discarded because it stopped being reissued.
MCCP/MCCP2 and SSL/TLS were one fact in two half-empty rows
The handshake records the telnet option it negotiated (MCCP2) and MSSP names the feature (MCCP); MSSP's own variable is SSL where plenty of games write TLS. Measured beside declared exists so the two can be compared, and they cannot be compared across two rows.
MCCP20 measured / 35 declared, as
MCCPSSL, 6 asTLS, 6 games bothCapabilityFields.Canonicalfolds both on the way in and0017_merge_capability_aliases.sqlmoves the rows already written (truewins the SSL/TLS merge; earliestfirst_seen_at, latestlast_confirmed_at). The read path deliberately does not fold — two field names arriving at one capability at read time would add their game counts rather than merge them.No value a game published is lost: the boolean merges, and a capability variable carrying more than a yes still writes its own descriptive row, so
SSL 4202survives verbatim underSSL.Lineages
