feat: infer links regardless of Raider.IO ownership visibility - #34
Merged
Conversation
The sweep gated both its root and every candidate on Raider.IO ownership being public (`ownerId === null`). That condition cannot tell a player who withheld the link from a character never claimed on Raider.IO at all, and it excluded the latter — most characters, and precisely the bank and levelling alts the fingerprint exists to find. Maintainer's decision to remove both gates. This reverses the resolution of "Privacy stance on defeating hidden ownership" (#8) and drops the behavioural mitigation "Data-protection exposure for publishing derived account linkage" (#16) identified as the one that materially moves the UK GDPR balancing and necessity tests. Manual removal requests are now the only exclusion route, and suppression checks are unchanged. Removing the candidate gate also removes one unbudgeted Raider.IO request per roster member — hundreds per sweep, counted against neither the discovery cap nor the Blizzard hourly budget. /privacy no longer promises an exclusion the code does not make; the design spec carries an amendment and CONTEXT.md redefines the term.

Replaces #33, which was left conflicting after #32 squash-merged. Same single commit, rebased onto
main.The sweep gated both its root and every candidate on
ownerId === null— Raider.IO ownership not being publicly linked. That one condition covers two unrelated states:characterDetails.usernullnullSampling arbitrary characters found the second state is the ordinary one, and it is exactly the population the fingerprint exists to reach — bank alts and levelling alts are the least likely characters to be claimed upstream. Both gates are removed.
This reverses a closed decision. Privacy stance on defeating hidden ownership resolved that privacy-hidden ownership excludes fingerprint-derived linkage, and Data-protection exposure for publishing derived account linkage named not publishing inferred-only linkage where a contrary preference was signalled as one of the two mitigations that materially move the UK GDPR balancing and necessity tests. A fingerprint-derived link may now connect characters whose Raider.IO ownership is not public. Maintainer's decision; recorded on both issues and on the map.
Also in scope, because the candidate gate was where it lived: each candidate cost one live

Removing the gate removes the call, and a test now pins it./privacyno longer promises an exclusion the code does not make, and points at removal requests as the only route.CONTEXT.mdredefines privacy-hidden ownership.Both new handler tests were confirmed red against the previous code.
