Rarity V3, and Collectible Tracking in Guides

Rarity Score V3, collectible tracking for supported guides, the new Guide Wishlist, a unified Games page, improved Xbox reconnect handling, and a bunch of performance and polish improvements across the site.

This is a pretty big Alpha update, with a mix of new features, backend improvements, and a lot of cleanup across the site. The biggest addition is Rarity Score V3. The rarity system has been rebuilt to handle Xbox rarity data more carefully, especially around newer releases, player cohorts, and cases where the available rarity is still too fresh or incomplete to score confidently. The goal is a rarity score that better reflects what the data actually supports instead of blindly treating every percentage the same. Collectible tracking is also now part of CompletionLab guides. Guides that include collectible support can let you check items off directly as you follow the walkthrough, then use a dedicated Collectibles section near the end to review everything in one place and show only the items you still have unchecked. These checklists are personal to your CompletionLab account and are kept completely separate from Xbox achievement progress. There’s also a new Guide Wishlist, where players can request guides for games that do not currently have one and see which games have the most demand. Requests can be cancelled and re-requested later when appropriate, and they automatically disappear once a qualifying guide is published. The Games experience has been cleaned up too. Library and general game browsing now live together on one page, with My Library and All Games as the main views. Navigation has been simplified across desktop and mobile, and a number of large-page and large-achievement-list performance improvements landed alongside it. Xbox account handling also got some attention. CompletionLab can now surface clearer reconnect states when an Xbox connection genuinely needs attention, without treating unrelated sync failures as authentication problems. There are also improvements across guide moderation, admin tools, title identity, artwork handling, responsive layouts, guide-request history, and a pile of smaller accessibility, performance, and reliability fixes. This is still Alpha, and there’s plenty more I want to build, but this release lays a lot of groundwork for where CompletionLab is headed next. :)
