Found by reading the live page: 144 of 144 shares 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 run put 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 EcosystemCopy so 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 131 that rendered counted which of them also listed MSSP inside their own MSSP report, a habit measured against a fact. DeclaredShare is null for that one protocol and the cell reads not asked — every report here is the answer. A protocol nobody declared is still 0%, 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.

before after
MCCP 87 measured / 0 declared, as MCCP2
0 measured / 35 declared, as MCCP
87 measured / 35 declared
TLS 31 declared as SSL, 6 as TLS, 6 games both 32 declared

CapabilityFields.Canonical folds both on the way in and 0017_merge_capability_aliases.sql moves the rows already written (true wins the SSL/TLS merge; earliest first_seen_at, latest last_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 4202 survives verbatim under SSL.

Lineages

Sixteen games answer the question themselves and were going unplaced. Reading the FAMILY already in the store — the same citation #52 used, and it needed no new probe — places eleven mudlibs under LPMud (TMI-2, Dead Souls, Discworld lib, UNIlib, 3Scapes mudlib, TD-MUDLIB, MorgenGrauen, Aldebaran, RoleMUD, Moral Decay, PD/NM III) and five more under DikuMUD (PizzaMUD, Galaxy Engine, EmpireMUD, JediMUD, MUME).

ROM2.4/Haven was unplaced on a space its author did not type — the string splits to ROM2, which no key matched. Trailing digits now come off before the lookup, which is the boundary LoginCommandReading.NamesFamily already applies one rung up and for a higher-stakes decision.

Games publishing FAMILY Custom stay unplaced however obvious their ancestry looks from outside — Legends of the Jedi is a SMAUG descendant by every account but its own, and a resemblance we noticed does not get to overrule a game's answer about itself. Northern Crossroads publishes FAMILY DikuMUD and stays unplaced anyway, because the only key that reaches NC-7.0.278.89f11404 is two letters long.

Against the live catalogue this moves the panel from 100 placed / 44 unplaced to 115 placed / 26 unplaced, and every one of the 26 is a FAMILY Custom, a game with no MSSP, or an abstention we stand behind.

Done outside this branch

Three of the 144 "codebases" were sentences the pre-#51 banner parser invented, still on the page because nothing overwrites a row the fixed parser no longer produces:

*Tiny-Muck *2.2* fb5.60,*          /*.*.*.-         with this muck platform
This MUCK is rated NC-17. If you are not 18 or are offended by this, type 'QUIT'
Tapestries MUCK Copyright 1991-2020 by tapestries.fur.com. All rights reserved.

They were the only three banner CODEBASE rows not re-confirmed on the last crawl, and NamedIn found MUCK in each — so three of the five games in the MUCK lineage were our own bug. Deleted from production directly (144 -> 141); the current parser returns MUCK for all three and will write it on their next probe. The general problem — a measured field whose source has gone quiet still winning the ladder — is not addressed here.

Verification

Build clean with TreatWarningsAsErrors, 0 warnings. All five suites, Postgres exercised rather than skipped, so 0017 runs:

suite total failed
Catalog 411 0
Web 448 0
Crawler 164 0
Crawl 163 0
Discovery 265 0

The lineage figures above are from replaying the new map over the 141 live CODEBASE values, not from the fixture.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Standardized capability names so MCCP2/MCCP and SSL/TLS data are reported consistently.
    • Improved recognition of codebase lineages, including versioned and self-declared names.
    • Added clearer ecosystem reporting for MSSP measurements and their reporting basis.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected capability history and declarations during data consolidation.
    • Improved ecosystem explanations when declared percentages are unavailable.
    • Refined protocol styling and labeling for entries without declared shares.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for capability normalization, lineage detection, and ecosystem reporting.

…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.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change canonicalizes MCCP2 and SSL capability aliases, merges legacy database rows, expands lineage recognition, and updates ecosystem reporting to handle MSSP and codebase denominators explicitly.

Changes

Catalog capability and lineage updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Canonical capability registry and migration
src/MUI.Catalog/Persistence/FieldRegistry.cs, migrations/0017_merge_capability_aliases.sql, tests/MUI.Catalog.Tests/Persistence/FieldRegistryTests.cs
MCCP2 maps to MCCP and SSL maps to TLS. The migration merges legacy rows and preserves values and timestamps.
Crawler and fixture capability integration
src/MUI.Crawler/FieldObservations.cs, src/MUI.Web/Fixtures/FixtureGameQueries.cs, tests/MUI.Crawler.Tests/FieldObservationTests.cs, tests/MUI.Catalog.Tests/Persistence/FacetQueriesPostgresTests.cs
Crawler observations and fixtures use canonical capability names. Tests cover measured and declared normalization.
Lineage mappings and version matching
src/MUI.Catalog/CodebaseLineage.cs, tests/MUI.Catalog.Tests/CodebaseLineageTests.cs
Diku and LPMud mappings expand. Names with trailing version digits are recognized without changing custom or ambiguous classifications.

Ecosystem reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
MSSP semantics and ecosystem presentation
src/MUI.Catalog/Ecosystem.cs, src/MUI.Web/Components/EcosystemCopy.cs, src/MUI.Web/Components/Pages/Ecosystem.razor, src/MUI.Web/Components/PlainText.cs, tests/MUI.Catalog.Tests/Persistence/EcosystemQueriesPostgresTests.cs, tests/MUI.Catalog.Tests/Persistence/EcosystemSnapshotPostgresTests.cs, tests/MUI.Web.Tests/EcosystemSurfaceTests.cs
MSSP no longer receives a declared share. HTML and plain-text output explain codebase denominators and MSSP report-to-offer differences.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 33527

The lineage classification change can misclassify numeric codebase names such as ROT13, causing games to appear under the wrong family and making ecosystem counts inaccurate. Merge should wait for the matching rule and regression test to be corrected.

…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.

🎯 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.”
