2026-05-10 — TIP Price Status + OEM Detail Resolution

Part-Number Details Verifier

Added packages/scraper/src/utils/verify-part-number-details.ts.

Purpose:

• close detail gaps where form factor, reach and fiber are already present but speed_gbps=0
• use conservative part-number inference only
• write canonical details evidence with robot verify:part-number-details

Safety catch:

• Cisco GLC-FE-* appeared in dry-run
• these are Fast Ethernet, so the generic GLC-* => 1G rule was rejected
• final rule only infers 1G for safe patterns such as GLC-SX, GLC-LX, GLC-LH, GLC-ZX, GLC-EX, GLC-BX, GLC-T, GLC-TE

Live apply:

• Juniper Networks:
  • 375 candidates updated
  • 375 details verified
• Cisco Systems:
  • 176 candidates updated
  • 176 details verified
• evidence:
  • details | verify:part-number-details | 551

Result:

• details_verified increased to 16913
• Juniper detail gaps dropped from 173 to 43
• Cisco detail gaps dropped from 146 to 80

Price Status Model

Added migration sql/105-price-status-and-unavailable-evidence.sql.

New fields:

• transceivers.price_status
• transceivers.price_status_updated_at
• transceivers.price_unavailable_verified_at
• transceivers.price_unavailable_reason

Allowed states:

• public_price
• no_public_price
• needs_research
• ambiguous
• unknown

Important semantic rule:

• price_verified=true still requires a real public price observation
• quote-only/OEM/no-checkout cases use price_status=no_public_price
• no price rows are fabricated

Added price_unavailable evidence type.

Added packages/scraper/src/utils/resolve-price-availability.ts.

Live apply:

• resolved quote-only/OEM/manufacturer/test-equipment/hyperscaler vendors to no_public_price
• wrote 5361 price_unavailable evidence rows
• preserved real retail/source-discovery vendors as needs_research

Health API now exposes:

• price_status.public_price
• price_status.no_public_price
• price_status.ambiguous
• price_status.needs_research

Live health after this pass:

• active products: 17195
• price verified: 11414
• price status:
  • public_price=11414
  • no_public_price=5595
  • needs_research=186
  • ambiguous=0
• image verified: 12104
• details verified: 16913
• fully verified: 10505
• competitor status:
  • matched=10775
  • no_valid_match=74
  • ambiguous=556
  • needs_research=5790

Remaining price research:

• 10Gtek=126
• SFPcables=31
• ShopFiber24=24
• ATGBICS=3
• Vcelink=2

Interpretation:

• remaining price work is now real retail/source discovery
• SFPcables search tests for 10Gtek part numbers did not return reliable direct hits
• 10Gtek requires a source/alias discovery robot rather than no-public-price classification
