The app knew nothing about the game outside your own collection — no way to
see that a set drops next week, or that a Secret Lair was announced.
Two sources with very different reliability, kept apart so one failing can't
take the page down.
Releases come from Scryfall's documented /sets endpoint. Clicking a set fetches
its cards live rather than reading reference.db, so a set released or spoiled
since the last card-data download still works; ownership is joined locally by
oracle_id, and the same add-to-library stepper works there as anywhere else.
Articles have no supported source at all: Wizards publishes no RSS or Atom feed
and no public API, and their page is a Nuxt app whose CSS classes are per-build
hashes. So the app links out rather than reproducing anyone's writing, which
keeps the scraped surface to titles and hrefs. parse_articles keys on nothing
cosmetic — anchors pointing at /en/news/<category>/<slug>, taking the anchor's
own text as the title. A restyle can't break that; only a change to their URL
scheme could, and the fixture tests fail loudly when it does rather than the
page quietly going empty. Verified against a live capture: 15 articles, correct
titles and categories.
Two things the fixtures caught. Where an article is linked several times per
card, the first link is a "Learn More" button, so the longest text wins rather
than the first. And a *successful* fetch yielding zero articles is treated as a
failure, since that is the signature of their markup changing.
get_set_cards returns a full CardRef rather than the handful of fields the grid
needs, so the tab renders the same CardTile as the rest of the app and gets
click-to-preview instead of a lookalike that does nothing when clicked.
Both feeds cache to news-cache.json for six hours and fall back to whatever was
last seen, so opening the tab offline shows stale content with its age rather
than an error.
Also promotes the HTTP agent out of ingest.rs into a shared http module, so
timeouts and User-Agent can't drift between the ingester and anything else that
reaches the network. Adds tauri-plugin-opener for opening articles externally.
