/**
 * What a good merge looks like, in two numbers the unit suite cannot see.
 *
 * The catalogues are regenerated by a scheduled job that pushes straight to `main` once the unit
 * tests and a production build pass — and both passed, for weeks, on a catalogue carrying 23 000
 * stars twice: the suite tests code against fixtures, and no fixture is 400 000 real stars. The
 * two ways the merge has actually failed both show up here.
 *
 * A star kept twice leaves its two entries near each other on the sky, from *different* sources —
 * one catalogue does not list a star twice. Under an arcsecond that is never two stars at this
 * depth, so every such pair is a miss. Nineteen survive today, all of them a second HYG row
 * wanting a Gaia entry that already absorbed one (Gliese lists some doubles twice); the merge
 * that trusted a Hipparcos parallax over direction left 1 112.
 *
 * The other failure leaves no close pair at all, because proper motion had already carried the
 * two entries tens of arcseconds apart — the 2026-08-24 refresh, where HYG sat at epoch 2000.0
 * and Gaia at J2016.0. What it does leave is HYG rows that found no counterpart: 36 056 of them
 * against the 10 886 today, and no counterpart was possible for most of those. Two thirds of them,
 * 6 835, are the stars Gaia measures but the main query never downloads, because Gaia's parallax
 * puts them past `ETL_GAIA_DISTANCE_PC` while Hipparcos put them inside `ETL_STAR_DISTANCE_PC`;
 * they are every star in the published catalogue beyond 250 pc. The rest are what Gaia genuinely
 * lacks: bright stars it saturates on, red dwarfs past its magnitude cut. So the headroom left to
 * the ceiling tracks the gap between those two cutoffs as much as Gaia's completeness.
 *
 * This bounds a merge that went wrong, and — loosely — a Gaia download that came back short: a
 * truncated answer leaves the HYG rows whose counterpart it dropped without one, so survivors go
 * *up*, not down. Measured against the published catalogue: 10 886 today, 11 004 at nine tenths of
 * the rows, 12 711 at half, 16 258 at a third. So this ceiling only catches a truncation past about
 * two thirds, and `fetchGaiaStars` catches the shallower ones with its own row floor.
