A mention took in a stored name's leading or trailing punctuation only
where the text repeated the stored spacing exactly, although the rule
says spacing is ignored. With Regulars "Beef Chili !" and "Chili!", the
reason "Like your Beef Chili!" left the first mention at "Beef Chili",
so a citation of "Chili!" passed. Match the punctuation with any spacing
beside it, then apply the same border check to the extended mention.

A mention took in the name's trailing or leading punctuation without
checking the border beyond it, so with Regulars "Beef Chili" and "Beef
Chili!" the text "Beef Chili!X" named "Beef Chili!" alone, though the
shared bare mention is ambiguous (MQ-100-6). Punctuation is now taken in
only where the border still holds after it; otherwise the mention stays
the bare name, and stays shared.
Only punctuation and the spacing beside it may be left off a name's ends,
and a combining mark counts as part of its letter, so a stored "Chicken
Cafe" with a decomposed accent is no longer mentioned by "Chicken Cafe",
nor plain "Chicken Cafe" by the accented spelling (MQ-100-7). Symbols are
no longer trimmed either.

The reason check split on white space and trimmed punctuation before
looking a phrase up, so a stored name ending in punctuation could be
trimmed into a different Regular (MQ-100-4) and a name joined to the
next word by punctuation was never seen (MQ-100-5).
A mention of a Regular is now where the reason spells its name, ignoring
case and spacing, with the name's own outer punctuation optional and no
letter or digit just outside it. A mention names its Regular unless a
different Regular's mention covers the same text or more, which keeps a
mention of "Easy Beef Chili" from naming "Beef Chili" (MQ-100-3).
One table-driven test covers the whole matrix.

The reason check compared normalized names, so a reason naming only
"Beef Chili" passed for a citation of "Easy Beef Chili". Find the
Regulars the reason names with the same find the citations use, taking
the longest run of words at each point, and require a cited Regular
among them.

A cited Regular now resolves by exact name (ignoring case and spacing)
first, then by normalized name only when that names a single Regular;
an ambiguous citation drops the Side quest instead of rewriting it to
whichever Regular shared the key (MQ-100-1).
A Side quest name with no words left after normalizing is malformed and
goes through the repair turn, so it can no longer evade the dedupe or
the dinner-name rule (MQ-100-2).

The skill asks for twice the Side quests needed, using the household
context plus the pending Side quests, through an embedded, checksummed
prompt template. A malformed reply gets the harness's one repair turn.
A well-formed Side quest is dropped (and listed in Dropped) when it
repeats a Regular, Quest log dinner, pending or passed name or an
earlier Side quest in the batch, cites no Regular or one that is not a
Regular, or has a reason over 180 characters or naming none of its
cited Regulars. Golden tests use llm.Fake.
