Game requests can represent the same game across multiple platforms, creating repetitive admin data entry.

Provide an admin-only source game ID field and import action that reuses existing game metadata without changing request submission or review flows.

Scope

Add source-game lookup and import behavior to the existing admin request workflow.
Copy supported game metadata into the selected request while preserving request-specific platform, status, requester, and review fields.
Display validation and not-found errors without mutating the request.
Reuse existing authorization, game models, request handling, and admin UI conventions.

Acceptance Criteria

An authorized administrator can enter a valid existing game ID on a request and import its supported metadata.
The target request is updated with the imported metadata and retains its own platform and request-specific values.
Invalid, missing, or inaccessible source IDs produce a clear validation error and leave the target request unchanged.
The import control is unavailable to non-administrators and does not alter public request submission behavior.
The admin interface clearly indicates which fields are imported and provides success or failure feedback.

Test Coverage Required

Feature coverage for an authorized administrator importing metadata from an existing game into a request.
Feature coverage confirming request-specific fields remain unchanged after import.
Feature coverage for invalid and nonexistent source IDs, including no partial update.
Authorization coverage confirming non-admin users cannot invoke the import behavior.

Progress Checklist

Trace the existing request model, admin controller or Livewire surface, routes, and views.
Define the allowlisted game fields eligible for import.
Implement validated admin-only lookup and atomic metadata copy.
Add focused feature and authorization tests.
Run the affected test suite and formatting checks.
