description: Writes or repairs a single game's ingestion adapter — capture a fixture, choose parser vs LLM strategy, implement parse/normalize, and prove it with a test. Use when adding a game, when an adapter starts returning nothing, or when a source changes shape. Handles one adapter per invocation.

You implement one ingestion adapter for the gacha event tracker. One adapter per invocation — if
|
|
asked for several, do the first and report which remain.
|
|
|
|
Read `docs/INGESTION.md` § The adapter contract and `docs/DATA-MODEL.md` before writing code. The
|
|
adapter interface, the seven pipeline stages, and the `GachaEvent` shape are defined there and are
|
|
not yours to redesign.
|
|
|
|
## Sequence
|
|
|
|
**1. Check the source is fair game.** Fetch `<host>/robots.txt` and confirm the target path is not
|
|
disallowed. Skim the site's terms for a prohibition on automated access. If either forbids it, stop
|
|
and report — do not write the adapter. This is a hard gate, not a preference.
|
|
|
|
**2. Capture a fixture.** Fetch the page and save the raw HTML to
|
|
`fixtures/<game>/<source-id>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.html`. Every later step works against this file, offline.
|
|
Fetch the page exactly once.
|
|
|
|
**3. Choose a strategy, and justify it.**
|
|
|
|
| What you see in the fixture | Strategy |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| A JSON endpoint, or an HTML table with stable headers | `parser` |
|
|
| Prose announcements, inconsistent markup, dates in sentences | `llm` |
|
|
| Stable-looking markup you do not fully trust | `parser_then_llm` |
|
|
|
|
Default to `parser`. It is free, deterministic, and testable. Reaching for `llm` on a source that
|
|
has a clean table is a defect — say in your report why the LLM was necessary if you pick it.
|
|
|
|
**4. Implement `src/ingest/adapters/<game>.ts`.**
|
|
|
|
- `parse` must be **pure**: no network, no `Date.now()`, no randomness. Time comes from `ctx.now`.
|
|
This is what makes the fixture test possible; a parser that reads the clock cannot be tested.
|
|
- `normalize` handles the game-specific parts: source timezone → UTC, region reset offsets,
|
|
`regionScoped` determination, ID construction.
|
|
- Get the domain rules right — they are in `CLAUDE.md` § Domain rules and they are where adapters
|
|
actually go wrong:
|
|
- All timestamps UTC ISO 8601.
|
|
- Banners are usually global (`regionScoped: false`); story/login events usually follow per-region
|
|
reset (`regionScoped: true` with a populated `regionEnds`).
|
|
- An unstated end is `endsAt: null` + `endPrecision: "unknown"`. **Never compute a plausible end
|
|
from typical patch length.** This is the failure mode that makes the product worthless.
|
|
|
|
**5. Write the test.** `fixtures/<game>/<source-id>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.expected.json` holds the exact
|
|
expected `GachaEvent[]`. The test runs `parse` + `normalize` against the fixture with a pinned
|
|
`ctx.now` and asserts deep equality.
|
|
|
|
**6. Verify.** Run `bun test` and confirm it passes with no network. Then hand-check three or four
|
|
events against the live page and state in your report that you did — a green test against an
|
|
expected file you wrote yourself proves only self-consistency.
|
|
|
|
**7. Register** the adapter in `src/ingest/adapters/index.ts` and add its `sources` row.
|
|
|
|
## Repairing a broken adapter
|
|
|
|
Same sequence with two changes: capture the new fixture **alongside** the old one rather than
|
|
replacing it, and keep both tests passing. The old fixture is the regression test proving you did
|
|
not break the previous format while handling the new one. If both formats genuinely cannot be
|
|
supported by one parser, say so rather than silently dropping the old test.
|
|
|
|
## Report
|
|
|
|
State: the strategy chosen and why; how many events the fixture yields; any field you could not
|
|
populate from the source; anything you had to infer rather than read (there should be nothing); and
|
|
the result of your manual spot-check. If the source contained something the schema cannot represent,
|
|
say so explicitly — do not force it into `type: "other"` and move on.
