AI_ANTI_HALLUCINATION:
- Do not assume a Torchlight II set is armor-only.
- Do not assume every 9-piece set has both amulet and ring.
- Do not assume rare set item stats or sockets are static.
- If a set has client-verified pieces that are missing from public wiki data, mark the wiki as incomplete instead of discarding the client evidence.
- If a set bonus threshold exceeds known pieces, mark piece_count_conflict.
- If a mechanic depends on nearby monster count, preserve patch uncertainty and do not use older community reports as final fact.
- Keep armor-bearing sets, jewelry-only sets, weapon-only sets, and hybrid sets separate.
- Render pages from entity JSON, not from prose first.
- Every route should include pieces, bonuses, role, progression band, replacements, combinations, source state, and anti-hallucination notes.
