The tidy existed but lived inside the list page, so the DETAIL page never had
it: following a row through showed "Apple" becoming "Apple Pty Ltd." Moved to
src/lib/merchant-label.ts and applied on both surfaces.
Running it over all 1,451 distinct merchant names — rather than over examples —
turned up two real defects:
Coburger & Co -> "Coburger &"
eBay Commerce Australia Pty Ltd. -> "EBay Commerce Australia"
The first strips a suffix that is part of the brand and leaves a dangling
connector. The second is the capitalisation rule firing on "starts with a
lower-case letter" when what it means is "is a bare domain" — mangling a brand
that is deliberately lower-cased. Both are now guarded, and re-running over the
full corpus reports 170 names tidied and 0 defects.
PRESENTATION ONLY. It merges nothing and must never decide two rows are the
same merchant. Amazon.in stays Amazon.in — a different marketplace with
different currency and geography, not a name variant — and there is a test
asserting it can never equal amazon.com.au. Kogan.com, GOG.com, AliExpress.com
and Catch.com.au are real brand names containing a TLD and are left alone.
Real unification is the merchant-alias bridge, ticket 176, which has already
merged what can be merged safely.
The five names that read alike after tidying (ebay/eBay/eBay Inc.,
menulog/Menulog Pty Ltd, deliveroo/Deliveroo, grab/Grab, paypal/PayPal) are
genuinely one merchant each, so reading alike is correct. Lower-case platform
SLUGS are deliberately not capitalised: "ebay" -> "Ebay" is wrong, and getting
it right is the registry's job, not the stylesheet's.
