 - Discount-line behavior remains unchanged; this task only cleaned normalized names and preserved the existing audit trail.

 ** notes
+- The old observed/canonical auto-layer is no longer in the active review/combine path. `build_purchases.py`, `review_products.py`, and `report_pipeline_status.py` now operate on `normalized_item_id`, `catalog_id`, and `catalog_name`.
+- I kept the review CLI shape intentionally close to the pre-refactor flow so the project only changed its identity model, not the operator workflow.
+- Existing auto-generated catalog rows are no longer carried forward by default; only deliberate catalog entries survive. That keeps the new `catalog.csv` conservative, but it also means prior observed-based auto-links do not migrate into the new model.
+- Live rerun after the refactor produced `627` purchase rows, `387` review-queue rows, `407` distinct normalized items, `0` linked normalized items, and `0` unresolved rows missing from the review queue.
