Backend mutation-hardening cluster from the 2026-07-11 mutation-safety audit
sweep (adversarial-reviewer #22/#23), the parallel-safe backend-isolated slice.
audit#22 F4 — standardize post-commit enqueues on CancellationToken.None:
20 command handlers under MediaCollections/, ProgramSchedules/, Playouts/,
Channels/ threaded the request cancellationToken into work that runs AFTER
SaveChangesAsync commits (WriteAsync rebuild/refresh enqueues, mediator.Publish,
reindex, cache Refresh, and post-commit lookups that gate an enqueue). A late
client-disconnect then turns an already-durable commit into a thrown request AND
drops the side effect. Generalizes the #251 deco-handler fix. Excludes
BuildPlayoutHandler (worker/background token, not a client-disconnect token),
the config/FFmpeg multi-upsert handlers (partial-commit case, separate
follow-up), and response-projection reloads (correctly keep the request token).
audit#22 F2 — DeleteChannelHandler/DeletePlayoutHandler now delete the channel
guide {number}.xml through IFileSystem.File.Delete (observable under
MockFileSystem) and BEFORE the commit (a post-commit delete orphans the xml on a
crash; the xml is regenerable on demand, so pre-commit delete is the safe order).
audit#23 F4 — ReplacePlayoutAlternateScheduleItemsHandler rejects an empty item
list in the handler (not only the controller pre-guard) so a direct caller can't
trip the Max()-on-empty crash.
Docs: api-conventions.md §7a (post-commit token convention + boundaries),
decisions.md entry (rationale, sweep scope, #253 PR2-4 coordination note).
Tests: guide-cache-delete-through-FS for both delete handlers, empty-list guard.

Independent Codex review of the fix diff surfaced two real findings the fork pass missed:
- Medium: the #251 affected-playout QUERIES in ReplaceDecoTemplateItemsHandler and
UpdateDecoHandler still ran on the request `cancellationToken`, so a cancellation
landing after SaveChanges committed but before those queries executed would throw
before the CancellationToken.None enqueue — the edit committed but no playout Reset,
re-opening the stale-content bug in that window. Run the entire post-commit
invalidation (queries + enqueue) on CancellationToken.None so the side effect can't
be half-aborted once the data has changed.
- Low: UpdateDefaultDecoHandler enqueued a Reset for request.PlayoutId even when
ExecuteUpdateAsync matched 0 rows (nonexistent playout), creating a background build
request for an id that isn't there. Guard the enqueue on rows-updated > 0 so the
enqueued set equals the affected set. Added a regression test.
Also corrected the ReplaceProgramScheduleItemsHandler comments: the schedule-item
hierarchy is TPT (table-per-type), not TPH — the SetValues reconcile is safe either way
(same-runtime-type guard; no discriminator to corrupt), Codex confirmed.

#252: ReplaceProgramScheduleItems deleted and re-inserted every item on every
save (even a no-op PUT-back), and PlayoutScheduleItemFillGroupIndex.ProgramScheduleItemId
is OnDelete(Cascade) — so every schedule save silently wiped persisted
fill-group/shuffle enumerator progression for all playouts using the schedule.
Switch to a positional in-place reconcile: for a same-typed slot, copy scalars via
CurrentValues.SetValues (BuildItem stays the single source of item construction, so
no field is dropped) and rebuild the watermark/graphics join rows, keeping the item
id — and with it the fill-group index. Subtype change / surplus falls back to
delete+insert for that slot only. The request DTO carries no stable item id, so
position is the only key here; true content-aware stable identity is deferred to the
shared concurrency/round-trip contract in #253.
#251: deco / deco-template CONTENT edits (and default-deco assignment) only take
effect on a playout Reset build — deco/break/default-filler content is applied during
Reset, a Continue keeps the frozen filler items, and BlockKey change-detection has no
deco dimension to self-heal. The editors enqueued nothing (a commented-out TODO in
ReplaceDecoTemplateItemsHandler), so filler/break content stayed stale indefinitely
until a manual Reset. Enqueue BuildPlayout(Reset) for exactly the affected playouts:
- ReplaceDecoTemplateItemsHandler: playouts via PlayoutTemplate.DecoTemplateId
- UpdateDecoHandler: playouts via Playout.DecoId and via deco-template items
- UpdateDefaultDecoHandler: the reassigned playout (adjacent same-class fix)
Post-commit enqueues use CancellationToken.None (audit #22 policy).
Tests: DecoInvalidationTests + ReplaceProgramScheduleItemsReconcileTests, each proven
non-vacuous against a negative control (inverted the primitive, verified 0 CS errors so
the --no-build run used a fresh dll). Full ErsatzTV.Tests suite green (1067).

Bug 1 (500 on watermark/graphics save): Replace/Add handlers projected the
freshly-built entity graph, whose ProgramScheduleItemWatermark / -GraphicsElement
join rows carry only foreign-key ids — the Watermark/GraphicsElement navs are null,
and Mapper.ProjectToViewModel dereferences them unguarded, throwing an NRE that the
controller surfaced as a 500 on PUT/POST. Both handlers now reload the persisted
item(s) through the read-side include chain before projecting. Extracted that chain
into ProgramScheduleItemQueryExtensions.IncludeScheduleItemDetails() so GET, Replace
and Add share one source of truth.
Masking: PersistItems returned a lazy LanguageExt Map, and the existing round-trip
test only checked .IsRight — never enumerating it, so the deferred NRE never fired.
The new ScheduleItemWriteProjectionTests force enumeration (as the controller's
.ToList()/serialization does) and seed watermark/graphics via a separate context so
the handler's fresh factory context has nothing pre-tracked.
Bug 2 (server side): GetProgramScheduleItemsHandler now .OrderBy(i => i.Index) —
it previously returned id order, which is not index order.
