Game ID Review

Cleans up backend/game_ids.lua by removing duplicates and ensuring numerical sort order.

Instructions

Step 1: Run tests to check current state

cmd //c "busted tests/game_ids_spec.lua"

Report whether tests pass or fail.

If busted is not available, see docs/development.md section "Running Lua Tests" for setup instructions.

Step 2: Read and parse the file

1. Read backend/game_ids.lua
2. Parse each mapping line to extract AppID, HLTB ID, and comment
3. Identify issues:
   • Duplicates: Same AppID appearing more than once (keep first occurrence)
   • Missing comments: Entries without an HLTB name comment

Step 3: Remove duplicates (if any)

Use targeted Edit operations to remove duplicate lines (keep the first occurrence).

IMPORTANT: Only use Edit to delete problematic lines. Do not rewrite content.

Step 4: Verify numerical sort order

Check that AppIDs are in ascending numerical order. If not sorted:

Use this bash pipeline to sort numerically while preserving exact bytes:

head -n 6 backend/game_ids.lua > backend/game_ids_sorted.lua && \
grep '^\s*\[' backend/game_ids.lua | sort -t'[' -k2 -n >> backend/game_ids_sorted.lua && \
echo "}" >> backend/game_ids_sorted.lua && \
mv backend/game_ids_sorted.lua backend/game_ids.lua

Step 5: Verify

Run tests again to confirm the file is valid:

cmd //c "busted tests/game_ids_spec.lua"

Output Format

Running tests...
[PASS/FAIL]

Found N issue(s):
- Removed duplicate: AppID {id}

Sorted N entries numerically.

Verifying...
[PASS]

Done.

If no issues found and already sorted, report "No changes needed."
