SenrokaiandClaude Opus 5 29d3ddb6ef Say so when Gaia is missing, rather than as 68 000 unmatched stars
With the merge gate in place, a Gaia DR3 outage no longer ships a HYG-only
catalogue: the ETL skips the unreachable source, and validateMerge then fails
on the survivor count. That is the right outcome and the wrong message: "68 000
HYG stars found no Gaia counterpart" sends the reader looking at the merge.
Gaia contributing nothing is now checked first, by name.

Two comments said Gaia was best-effort, in data-refresh.yml and on the merge
in fetchStars. They now say what happens instead.

/**
* 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 10 876 Gaia genuinely lacks (bright stars it saturates on, red dwarfs past its
* magnitude cut).
