Detailed Description

Spelling-file lookup for canonical names and player metadata.

Spelling is the name-authority layer above Database. It loads Scid spelling files, stores canonical names and aliases for each database name category, and answers correction and metadata queries without mutating the database itself.

General name normalisation applies prefix, infix and suffix rewrite rules. The loaded spell checker then provides canonical-name lookup and the player-only side channel for titles, countries, dates, peak ratings, biographies and rating history.
