Since 494fb56 and 4c8e4a0, fetchStars wrote stars.bin, stars-meta.bin and stars-index.json, and
fetchExoplanets wrote them again with the 3 277 hosts it adds from the archive and the 574 Gaia
designations it renames, after the live Horizons and archive fetches in between. A run stopped
between the two writes, or fetchStars.ts run on its own as the README documented, left 452 294
stars on disk with no archive star and 574 hosts back to their designations, and the existing
exoplanets.json pointing 4 237 planets at stars that were not there. It happened on this branch:
the dev server served those files.
fetchStars now returns the stars and writes nothing; fetchExoplanets, which build.ts runs after
it, is the only writer. fetchStars.ts run on its own runs fetchExoplanets, which fetches the
stars itself. Checked from cache: `tsx tools/etl/fetchStars.ts` exits 0 and writes 455 571 stars,
the published files byte for byte; build.ts with fetchSolarSystem made to throw fails with
"simulated Horizons outage" and leaves every data file unchanged, where before it left the
452 294-star catalogue. The README's table now names fetchExoplanets.ts as what writes them.
The ETL has no unit harness; these two runs are the check.
