From 1ac3e59d36ab54f79c659b5660763fa6e427839c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Blanchard Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2026 23:21:34 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] feat: cross-platform card database reader from Arena's SQLite files Arena ships its card database as a SQLite file (Raw_CardDatabase_*.mtga) in Downloads/Raw/. New pure-JS reader auto-discovers and reads it: ~27K cards with names, set codes, collector numbers, localization for 8+ languages. No native code, no process attachment, no sudo. Dependency: sql.js (pure JS SQLite) 10 tests included.
