# TIP Verification Artifact Cleanup And Vendor Completion — 2026-05-09

## Scope

- Continue TIP verification with deterministic robots only.
- Keep Erik safe by avoiding broad parallel crawl waves.
- Do not use external AI; TIPLLM training receives the lessons, not runtime inference.
- Sync all learnings into Gitea for Claude/Codex handoff.

## Implemented

- Added `verify:quarantine:non-transceivers`.
  - Excludes obvious non-transceiver artifacts from active product verification.
  - Clears price/image/details/competitor/fully flags on those rows.
  - Covers GAO, Ascent, FS.com, Flexoptix, Arista, ShopFiber24, and Coherent artifact patterns.
- Added `verify:normalize:product-urls`.
  - Repairs duplicated Mouser URL prefixes.
- Added `scrape:gaotek:details`.
  - Lightweight fetch+cheerio verifier for GAO product pages.
- Hardened Ascent parser.
  - Skips category/family rows before they enter the database.
- Repaired 10Gtek/SFPcables scraper.
  - Passes product URL and image URL into the common verification path.
  - Adds deterministic reach parsing for common meter/range text.
- Hardened scheduler reconcile.
  - Does not promote excluded non-transceiver categories into `details_verified`.

## Live Runs

- Non-transceiver cleanup:
  - 121 artifacts quarantined.
  - 103 Flexoptix filter URL artifacts quarantined.
  - 68 Ascent/category artifacts quarantined.
  - 38 FS/Flex/Arista/ShopFiber/Coherent artifacts quarantined.
  - 6 final FS/Flex redirect/no-source artifacts quarantined.
- GAO detail verifier:
  - 245 product pages inspected.
  - 181 rows updated and details verified.
  - 64 skipped because the source still lacked complete deterministic specs.
- Mouser URL normalizer:
  - 388 malformed `mouser.de` URLs repaired.
- 10Gtek/SFPcables:
  - 50 products parsed after URL/image propagation fix.
- Ascent:
  - 237 genuine products kept after category filtering.
- FS.com:
  - 1 remaining DB detail page scraped.
  - 1 price observation and 1 spec verification written.
- Reconcile completed.
- Equivalence matcher completed at `2026-05-09 20:11:39 UTC`.

## Final Observed State

- TIP health: healthy.
- Load: ok.
- Memory used: 13%.
- Active total: 17,405.
- Price verified: 11,523.
- Image verified: 12,125.
- Details verified: 16,810.
- Fully verified: 10,758.

## Vendor Truth

- Flexoptix:
  - Active products have price/image/details complete.
  - Remaining not-full rows are competitor-match only.
- FS.com:
  - Active products have price/image/details complete.
  - Remaining not-full rows are competitor-match only.
- GAO Tek:
  - Quote-only/no public prices in crawled catalog.
  - Prices were not fabricated.
- OEM-heavy vendors:
  - Juniper, Cisco, Eoptolink, Ascent and similar vendors remain blocked mostly by missing public price/image/competitor evidence.

## Training Pool

- Appended four TIPLLM lessons to `training-data/tip-llm-capabilities-v1.jsonl`.
- Lessons cover:
  - quote-only truthfulness
  - non-transceiver artifact quarantine
  - Erik-safe crawler operation
  - Flexoptix/FS distinction between product-data completeness and competitor-match completeness
- JSONL validation passed.
