fix(matching): Cap a source title that stops short of the filename's main title - #32
Conversation
…main title
Changes:
- Add matching.title_sim: sim() plus one rule, a source title that is a strict prefix of the filename's main title is capped at CONTAINED_SCORE
- Score every source's title with it in enrich.score, passing the filename's main title (FilenameFacts.query)
- Pin the direction in tests, with a pipeline test where two catalogues name the earlier volume of a series
- Say so in the README and docs/filenames.md
The prefix rule treated a prefix as the same book with and without its subtitle in either direction. That is right when the catalogue is the longer one; when the catalogue names less than the filename's main title it is another book: "The Dark Tower" answered for "The Dark Tower The Waste Lands" is volume VII, "Dune" for "Dune Messiah" is the first book, and the first volume answered for a two-book omnibus is half of it. Each scored 0.95, two catalogues answering with the shorter book agreed with each other, and the shorter book's ISBN reached HIGH. The same asymmetry already applies to author names, and every matcher measured (Audiobookshelf, Calibre's plugin tests, Open Library's edition matcher) accepts containment only with the candidate as the longer side.
Notes:
- Safety model change, in matching.py. Checked against: the 50-book wide sample replayed with the web sources (35 HIGH, 1 MED, 7 LOW, 7 unanswered, every verdict identical before and after; one book loses Inventaire from its trusted set because its label is cut a word short, verdict and merged fields unchanged), and the pristine sample replayed with fixtures-v2 and fixtures-wide-raw (identical)
- A source answering exactly the main title before a declared subtitle ("Sapiens" for "Sapiens - A Brief History of Humankind") keeps the prefix score; only a source that stops short of it is capped

Keep the shorter-volume MED match from contributing identifiers. trusted_names() retains both CONTAINED_SCORE answers because no source is strong and their title scores exceed HALLUCINATION_FLOOR. classify() returns MED from the matching author. compute_gains() then treats the result as identified and adds the head volume's isbn and series to proposal.gains when those fields are empty. The --include-low gate does not protect this MED path. Make this match non-identifying for edition-specific fields or lower its verdict to LOW. Assert that proposal.gains excludes isbn and series in TestAShorterBookCannotBeWrittenOverALongerOne.

Changes: - Rank Apple and Inventaire hits with matching.title_sim against the query, so a hit that stops short of it no longer ties with the book itself - Say in docs/filenames.md that a name declaring the series as its main title still reaches HIGH, and how to name it instead Review of the pull request showed the pickers still using the symmetric sim: "Dune" and "Dune Messiah (Dune Chronicles, Book 2)" both scored 0.95 against "Dune Messiah", the first won on result order, the pipeline then capped it, and a book both catalogues know fell from HIGH to MED. Notes: - The two picker tests fail on main and pass here; the 50-book replay with the web sources is unchanged from the previous commit

The same asymmetry already applies to author names (_author_sim).Research behind it (ten sources): Audiobookshelf and Calibre's plugin tests accept containment only with the candidate as the longer side; Zotero requires exact normalised equality; Open Library's edition matcher scores containment 350 against 600 for exact so it can never carry a match alone; LazyLibrarian, Readarr and RapidFuzz's partial and token-set ratios score containment both ways and hit the "book 2 vs book 3" problem, which LazyLibrarian patches by penalising differing numbers; OCLC's FRBR keys use the main title and disambiguate with the full one; Crossref validates search hits against independent fields.
Safety model change, in
matching.py. Checked against: the 50-book wide sample replayed with the web sources (35 HIGH, 1 MED, 7 LOW, 7 unanswered, every verdict identical before and after; one book loses Inventaire from its trusted set because its label is cut a word short, verdict and merged fields unchanged), and the pristine sample replayed withfixtures-v2andfixtures-wide-raw(identical). A source answering exactly the main title before a declared subtitle keeps the prefix score; only one that stops short of it is capped.Checks:
ruff check,ruff format --check,pytest(408 passed),node scripts/pyodide-smoke.mjs(408 passed under Pyodide). After review: the Apple and Inventaire hit pickers rank with the same direction rule, so a hit that stops short of the query no longer wins a tie and gets capped downstream. No web source changed, so the web checks are the same as onmain.Trade-offs accepted, both in the direction of writing less:
Author - The Dark Tower - The Waste Lands) still hands the head volume HIGH, because the filename itself says the book is calledThe Dark Towerand the sources are asked exactly that. Named with the number (Author - The Dark Tower - 03 - The Waste Lands) the series is kept apart from the title. Documented indocs/filenames.md.Title Series Book 2, as an underscore scheme leaves it) reads as one long title, so a catalogue answering the real short title is now capped at 0.69 and that shape tops out at MED.
