Merge plan

Refresh of the three Cytomic plug-ins already in the catalog. Discovery
came from the pre-staged sitemap record (generated the same day), and the
brand's shop page confirms the roster is complete at three products
("Showing all 3 results"), so nothing was added and nothing was retired.

⚠️ Auto-resolved — verify these before merging

11 fields were resolved by heuristic rather than left for a person. All of
them are the prose allowlist (description, details, specs) plus two
category supersets, and all three entries' prose was genuinely stale: the
old specs blocks carried a version: line that is now superseded by a
real versions list.

  • data/software/cytomic-the-drop.yaml field description → applied extracted value
    • reason: prefer extracted (default trust)
  • data/software/cytomic-the-drop.yaml field details → applied extracted value
    • reason: prefer extracted (default trust)
  • data/software/cytomic-the-drop.yaml field specs → applied extracted value
    • reason: prefer extracted (default trust)
  • data/software/cytomic-the-drop.yaml field categories → not applied
    • reason: extracted array is superset of existing (gains entries); the apply
      step skips categories by design, so the file is unchanged here
  • data/software/cytomic-the-glue.yaml field description → applied extracted value
    • reason: prefer extracted (default trust). Then corrected by the data
      review
      — see Data review below. The refreshed og:description was dealer
      or SEO copy and made an SSL 4000 G claim the vendor page never makes.
  • data/software/cytomic-the-glue.yaml field details → applied extracted value
    • reason: prefer extracted (default trust)
  • data/software/cytomic-the-glue.yaml field specs → applied extracted value
    • reason: prefer extracted (default trust)
  • data/software/cytomic-the-glue.yaml field categories → not applied
    • reason: extracted array is superset of existing (gains entries); skipped as above
  • data/software/cytomic-the-scream.yaml field description → applied extracted value
    • reason: prefer extracted (default trust)
  • data/software/cytomic-the-scream.yaml field details → applied extracted value
    • reason: prefer extracted (default trust)
  • data/software/cytomic-the-scream.yaml field specs → applied extracted value
    • reason: prefer extracted (default trust)

videos and versions were applied as ordinary safe-adds on all three
entries (the fields were absent on main, so no guard had anything to
protect). links was extracted but the apply step skips it, so no link was
written. No merge-guard verdict fired: guarded came back empty.

Buckets

Bucket Count
new 0
updated 3 (of which 3 have field conflicts)
discontinued 0
unchanged 0

Auto-resolved by heuristic: 11 field(s) — see list above.

Conflict ratio warning. conflictCount (3) is at or above half of
updateCandidate (3), so the conflicts are surfaced here prominently rather
than as a footnote. Two of the three are the same benign case; read on.

Conflicts requiring human review

1 and 2 — formats ordering only, no action needed.

  • data/software/cytomic-the-drop.yaml field formats
    • existing: ["vst2", "vst3", "au", "aax"]
    • extracted: ["au", "vst2", "vst3", "aax"]
  • data/software/cytomic-the-glue.yaml field formats
    • existing: ["vst2", "vst3", "au", "aax"]
    • extracted: ["au", "vst2", "vst3", "aax"]

The two sets are identical and differ only in order, so the diff is an
artifact of list comparison. Nothing was written and nothing needs to be.

3 — a real category judgement.

  • data/software/cytomic-the-scream.yaml field primaryCategory
    • existing: distortion
    • extracted: overdrive
  • data/software/cytomic-the-scream.yaml field categories
    • existing: ["saturation", "effect"]
    • extracted: ["effect", "distortion", "emulation", "plugin"]

The Scream models a TS808 Tube Screamer, which is an overdrive pedal, so
the extracted overdrive is arguably the more specific value and the
extracted categories would then keep distortion as a secondary. Left
untouched because a primaryCategory change moves the entry in Studio's
browse tree, and that is a person's call. Apply the resolution by hand
(Edit the YAML) before merging if you agree.

Deterministic checks

Check File Rule Detail
prose-lint data/software/cytomic-the-glue.yaml spelling (specs) flagged: PEAKCLIP

PEAKCLIP is the control's on-screen label on the plug-in GUI ("PEAKCLIP
IN"), not a misspelling, so it was kept.

supersedes-resolve.ts found no candidate links. No merge-guard rows.
pnpm validate --strict-unknown-keys on the three changed files is clean,
the unscoped pnpm validate passes with no warning on any Cytomic entry,
and pnpm validate:translations flags only pre-existing unapproved locales
on unrelated files.

Robots

Metric Value
Hosts crawled 1
robots.txt: ok 1 (rules fetched and applied)

No path was disallowed, no Crawl-delay was declared, and no fetch was
refused or escalated. The ledger records the prestage load; the per-page
extraction fetches on this lane go through the agent template's own
curl, which does not reach a recorder.

Data review

  • Mode: slim consistency pass (3 entries, all read in full)
  • Auto-fixes applied: 2, both in data/software/cytomic-the-glue.yaml
    • description: the refreshed og:description was replaced with the
      vendor page's own opening sentences. The og text prepended the
      manufacturer to the product name, used "+" shorthand and superlative
      voice, and asserted an "SSL 4000 G Series" model that Cytomic's page
      never claims (only a quoted Sound On Sound review says SSL). The two
      sibling entries take their description verbatim from the page, so this
      one was the outlier the refresh introduced.
    • specs: removed - Formats: VST2, VST3, AUv2, AAXv2, a W126-style
      line restating the file's own formats.
  • Remaining notes (INFO / un-auto-fixed):
    • Version history is uneven by source, not by neglect. The Scream has a
      full 22-entry history back to 1.0.7 (2017-06-22) read from
      TheScream-ReleaseNotes.pdf. The Glue and The Drop have only their
      current release (1.9.3 and 1.10.5, both 2026-08-14) because their
      release-notes PDFs use subsetted fonts with no usable ToUnicode map, so
      the extracted text was scrambled and was discarded rather than guessed
      at. Worth a follow-up with a better PDF reader.
    • Two YouTube embeds per entry are Complianz consent-gated; the video IDs
      were read from data-src-cmplz. Iframe titles are the generic "YouTube
      video player", so only one title (The Drop's "A Little Taste of Wobble
      Bass") was recoverable from on-page text and the rest were omitted
      rather than invented.
    • No entry states a bundle identifier anywhere, so identifiers is still
      absent on all three.
    • No product states its own release date, so releaseDate is still absent
      on all three. Neither the WordPress article:published_time nor the
      dates on magazine reviews were used.
    • The extraction wrote term: perpetual on The Drop's and The Scream's
      single USD price. It was removed before the diff: the catalog sets
      term only when one currency carries more than one price, and the
      currency|term row identity would otherwise have appended a second USD
      row behind the one Studio reads.

Findings filed

None. This run recorded no findings. There is no current Cytomic product
without an entry, no entry whose url points at a listing page, no
retirement candidate (the discontinued bucket is empty), no price
disagreement between sources on any page, and no io at all, these being
software entries.

Note for the record: SUBMISSIONS_GITHUB_PAT was not set in this run's
environment. Nothing was held back as a result, because nothing was
recorded, but a run that does record a finding in this environment would
need that token.

Cycle 1

Review SHA: 1182b8c29fc610396fd7e220bd523b6bd1c8f926 (CodeRabbit review submitted 2026-09-20T03:51:06Z)

Findings by severity: 1 actionable (🟡 Minor). No nitpicks, no outside-diff-range findings.

Applied: none.

Skipped (with reply + thread resolved):

  • data/software/cytomic-the-scream.yaml:50 — "Mark version 1.3.2 as a pre-release" — unsourced. The saved page text this import read contains no beta token; Downloads lists only TheScream_v1.3.3_{Mac.dmg,Win.zip} and the changelog lists 1.3.0 through 1.3.3 as plain dated releases. preRelease is a valid field, so this is a sourcing objection, not a schema one. CodeRabbit reviewed the push-back and withdrew the finding.

Pushed SHA: none (no file changes were warranted).

Local gate: lint ok (warnings only, pre-existing corpus-wide), validate ok (20,747 entries, no duplicate/invalid IDs), validate:translations ok, format clean (no diff), build 0 ok, validate-urls --changed-only reported one timeout on https://cytomic.com/product/drop/ which is transient: two manual fetches returned 200 (20.5s then 7.3s, a slow origin). No broken-urls label on this PR.
