bda031566a feat(shard): read clilocs from a source SET so shard items get names
Shards edit items and add new ones, and those carry cliloc ids no stock client
table has. Reading exactly one converted file meant an operator had to
re-export 5 MB every time they added one item — friction enough that the table
would simply go stale, which is the failure the spawn atlas was redesigned to
avoid in the first place.

So this mirrors spawnAtlasSource.readSources(): a BASE (the converted client
table) plus every operator-maintained overlay under `custom/`, all re-read on
every boot and hash-gated as a SET. Later sources win, so an overlay both adds
ids the client never had and overrides stock ones the shard re-purposed.
Adding, editing or removing any overlay counts as drift.

`custom/` is the one convention here that is ours rather than the shard's, and
deliberately so: ServUO has no server-side notion of a custom cliloc — they
live in the patched client a shard distributes, and nothing in the tree
declares them. There is nothing to discover. (An operator who does patch their
client cliloc needs no overlay: convert the patched file and the edits are in
the base.) Scale, measured on the live shard: its script tree references 16,434
cliloc ids and only 37 are absent from stock — tens against a 67k base, which
is why this is an overlay and not a second table.

The set brings back a hazard a single file did not have, and it gets the
atlas's answer. A corrupt source fails the parse loudly, but a source that has
VANISHED parses perfectly and imports a table quietly missing everything it
contributed — an unmounted volume is indistinguishable from a deliberate
deletion. So it is staged, not applied (`needsReview`), reported by both the
import and status(), and accepted with `{approve:true}`. That is a flag rather
than the atlas's approve/reject pair because the atlas stores a pending
decision SO THAT approving re-parses; here nothing is stored, so re-reading at
approval time is automatic.

Also reports a per-source breakdown (entries/added/overrode) on import and in
status, which is how an operator confirms an overlay took effect — "overrode: 0"
on a file meant to re-label stock items says it did not.

Two bugs this surfaced, both found by running a shard-style overlay rather than
by another stock-table fixture:

- displayText tidied punctuation unconditionally, so a custom
  "Runic Gateway Sigil (v2)" rendered as "(v2". Stripping leftover brackets is
  right after a placeholder is removed and wrong otherwise — the same condition
  the `%` rule already had.
- CANDIDATE_NAMES did not include `clilocs.plain`, which is the exact filename
  CLILOCS.md and the export tool's README tell operators to write. Pointing at
  the directory they were told to create failed with NO_FILE.

Verified end to end against the live MariaDB and a real server boot: base-only
import, overlay adding one id and overriding another (per-source breakdown
correct), unchanged set as a no-op, an edited overlay re-importing and
withdrawing its override, a vanished overlay refused with the table intact,
status reporting missingSources, approve applying it, and a file-path
configuration still finding overlays beside it. All three resolve correctly
through the running server: shard-added, overridden and stock. 646 server tests
pass (16 new in clilocSource.test.js, 3 new in clilocParse.test.js); swagger,
routes.manifest.json and routes.guards.json regenerated.

b61a4d6721 feat(shard): resolve cliloc names for items and reward titles
Protocol 3.0 §8.6 (docs/link/v3.md), the dependency order 5 was sequenced
behind. Items on the wire carry a LabelNumber, not a name — the bridge has
always sent it (char.profile.equipment.cliloc, reward titles as a cliloc
number in string form, and one per marketplace listing) but the site had no
table to resolve it against, so a character sheet could only render
`id 1023721` where the game renders "quarter staff".

The number was never the missing piece. The table was.

Sourced from a file the operator converts once from their own client, at a
path from the `cliloc_client_path` setting falling back to UO_CLIENT_PATH.
Nothing client-derived is committed: UO's strings are EA's, exactly as the
creature sprites are. A shard with nothing configured is fully supported —
names render as ids, as they did before.

The conversion step is not avoidable, and that is the substantive finding
here: every current client ships its cliloc files COMPRESSED (first DWORD's
high byte 0x8E, the Mythic container), and ServUO's own bundled
Ultima.StringList cannot read that either — so VendorSearch.GetItemName is
already inert on such a shard and the plugin could not supply names instead.
v3.md's original "read the client's Cliloc.enu" recommendation was therefore
not implementable as written, and its committed db/data/clilocs.json artifact
also predates the Part C corrections (no committed derived snapshots, nothing
EA-derived shipped). Replaced with the spawn-atlas pattern: parse on boot from
an operator-configured path, hash-gated, output gitignored.

- utils/clilocParse.js — pure parsers, fs-free so the suite runs in CI.
  Accepts the plain binary layout and delimited text, sniffed by header rather
  than extension. Rejects a compressed file BY NAME: without that check the
  plain parser reads it as ~19k records of negative ids and 60 KB "strings"
  before dying mid-file, and the resulting error names the wrong problem.
  displayText() drops the ~1_val~ arguments the bridge never sends.
- utils/clilocSource.js — the fs layer. hashSource reports `compressed` so the
  admin panel can flag an unconverted file WITHOUT parsing 5 MB per poll;
  otherwise pointing at a client directory reports a healthy file with pending
  drift ("ready to import") and the operator only finds out on failure.
- model/shardClilocs — refresh/status/lookup. All-or-nothing replace (DELETE,
  not TRUNCATE — TRUNCATE is DDL in MariaDB and implicitly commits). Batched
  server-side resolution behind a capped cache; never throws, because a cliloc
  lookup is decoration on a character sheet.
- Deliberately NO staged-approval flow, unlike the atlas: the atlas escalates
  facet loss because a half-copied tree and a real map change are
  indistinguishable from inside the process, whereas a partial cliloc copy
  makes the parser fail on a truncated record. The ambiguity the atlas must
  escalate is one this parser simply detects.
- No public route. The table is never served AS a table: 67k rows would dwarf
  any page using them, and the Android client consumes the same resolved JSON.

Two parser bugs found by building it, both now covered by tests: trimming a
text line before splitting ate the trailing separator on empty-text entries
and silently dropped 55,994 of 123,490 while still reporting success; and
Number('') is 0, not NaN, so a line starting with a separator imported as a
bogus cliloc 0.

Verified against the real client table (123,490 entries) and the live MariaDB:
import 663 ms, hash-gated boot no-op 14 ms, cold resolve 4.2 ms / warm 0.015 ms.
Binary and TSV imports converge on the same 67,496 rows with identical keys
(blank entries — half the table — are dropped at import). A file truncated to
half its length is refused with TRUNCATED and leaves the previous table
serving. Boot logs verified for both the import and the compressed-file
warning; neither blocks startup. All three admin routes exercised over HTTP
with a real session. 629 server tests pass; client builds clean; swagger,
routes.manifest.json and routes.guards.json regenerated.

Not covered by an automated test: the character sheet renders resolved names
in presentational React with no DOM test harness in this repo, and was not
rendered against a live linked-player profile — that needs a logged-in player
with a linked game account and a shard answering a profile RPC.
