Real-library audit (270 records) traced the data damage to:
- identity matching on ANY shared token ("Zwerg", "der Zwerg", "Mann") with
"longer text wins" merging (Arthag b02 = Kolon's species/relationships), and
- csRosterCanonicalName renaming a sheet to the first cast name among its
aliases, which saved 16 whole-sheet copies (Zwerg/Kolon = Arthag b03,
Fremder = Mann, Alchimist = Promos ...).
Fixes:
- static/js/character-identity.js + core/character_records.py: generic labels
are never identity evidence; csFindMergeKey, csConsolidateAliasDuplicates,
csRosterCanonicalName, clSameIdentity use it; own name always wins; clUpsert
writes to the exact-name record before any alias scan; no seed rename onto a
name that has its own record.
- _charsheets_parse: in cast-target mode drop other cast members' names from
aliases / first / last name (Kolon: "Sharraz Garthai"), strip reasoning
leakage ("Warte:", "Der Text sagt ...") from every text field.
- _character_scene_evidence: only a quote naming the character is used,
otherwise its own mannerisms (16 panels showed another character's scene).
- _character_age_category: Junge/Mädchen/boy/girl, number words, Sommer/
Winter ages, evidence clause, age-tagged quotes; "15 Jahre älter" is no age.
- scripts/audit_character_records.py (read-only) and
scripts/clean_character_records.py (dry run by default, --apply backs up).
Tests: tests/test_character_record_hygiene.py, tests/character-identity.test.mjs.
