timothyandClaude Opus 5 8d0df55398 fix(629): review fixes — tilde fences, an unbounded sha field, and a forgeable comment boundary
Cross-family review of 38a96f47 returned BLOCKED with three findings. All reproduced first:

  ~~~ fence           -> positive   fences were stripped for ``` only; markdown also takes ~~~
  @ <40hex>f / ZZZ    -> positive   the sha matched {7,40} with NO right boundary, so an
                                    over-long or malformed token was TRUNCATED into a passing one
  \x01BODY-BOUNDARY\x01 -> positive an in-band separator joined comment bodies, so a body
                                    containing that line forged a boundary, reset fence state
                                    mid-comment, and exposed a verdict inside an unclosed fence

Fixes: both fence markers honoured; the hex run matched whole, required to end at a
non-alphanumeric boundary, with its length validated separately so an out-of-range token is
rejected rather than trimmed to fit; and bodies carried OUT-OF-BAND (one JSON-encoded string
per line), which removes the forgery class instead of escaping the sentinel.

The third is the one worth remembering: an in-band delimiter is forgeable by whoever writes the
data, and here that is anyone who can comment on the PR.

Two of these fixes broke previously-green tests, both of which were right to break:
- an over-long token now classifies `no-sha`, not `stale`. The fixture asserting `stale` was 45
  hex chars, so it had been exercising the length guard while claiming to test the prefix rule.
  Rebuilt as a well-formed 40-char sha that contains the head prefix without starting with it.
- `jq -e` exits 4 when a filter produces NO output, which is the legitimate empty-comment-list
  case. Treating it as an error turned "no comments yet" into an input error — and callers fail
  closed on those, so a new PR would have read as unclassifiable. Exit 4 is now accepted.

44 classifier tests, 155 total. `~~~` and the boundary fixes are each mutation-verified; the
out-of-band fix has no equivalent mutation (it is structural, not a regex) so its evidence is the
direct reproduction against the previous commit.

timothyandClaude Opus 5 38a96f47cc fix(629): close three false-opens in the H10 verdict grammar, and give it tests
The H10 classification lived inline in `pretooluse-merge-consent.sh` with no tests. Three
protections the `release.review-verdict-gate` record described were never actually
implemented, and each graded an unreviewed head as approved. All three reproduced first:

  1 MERGEABLE-LATER   -> positive     the token was prefix-matched, so any word STARTING
                                      with mergeable/approved/lgtm passed
  2 fenced code block -> positive     the line-start anchor is satisfied inside ```, so
                                      documentation showing the convention was a verdict
  3 URL-borne sha     -> positive     the sha came from the first `@<hex>` ANYWHERE on the
                                      line, so a markdown link could supply it

Fixes: whole-word token matching, with a token in neither vocabulary classified `unknown`
(never positive, and not guessed into a block either — it goes to a human); fenced blocks
stripped with fence state reset per comment body; the sha read from the verdict's OWN
`@ <sha>` field, which also makes multi-`@` lines unambiguous.

The grammar moves to `scripts/check-review-verdict.sh` so it can be tested at all — 38 tests,
and each fix mutation-verified: restoring the old regex/extraction makes exactly the
corresponding test fail, control green.

#629's fourth reported item is NOT a defect and is not claimed as a fix. A later `@ <head>`
on a BLOCKED line was reported as "masking a negative"; under the documented grammar that
line is a verdict for the sha in its own field, so `stale` is correct — and was correct
before this change too. Kept as a characterization test.

`test_post_review_verdict.py`'s cross-check re-implemented the hook's regexes in Python and
asserted the shell still contained them. That mirror is removed: it is the same duplication
that let these three survive, and a Python copy would keep passing while the shell drifted.
It now runs the real classifier.

The decision record is corrected — it asserted the URL protection this commit actually adds.

Note: the active corpus is 5637 lines against a 5600 budget, so the validator emits its
consolidation warning (non-blocking). That is #620's subject, not regressed here.

Third BLOCKED verdict, third legitimate finding. The per-row guard validated the
DESTINATION only, so `{"filename":"docs/x.md","status":"renamed"}` with no
`previous_filename` passed while its source silently vanished — precisely the
path-hiding that collecting both sides exists to prevent. A rename row must now
carry a non-empty `previous_filename`.

Required for rename rows ONLY. Demanding it globally would reject every ordinary
modified/added row and make the gate refuse all exemptions — which every
"withholds the exemption" test would happily pass through, so that direction gets
its own positive control. Predicate checked against ten shapes before adopting;
mutation-verified in both directions (dropping the clause fails 2 tests, applying
it globally fails 3 including the controls).

Also fixes a wart this PR introduced. `review-verdict/h10` is itself folded into
the COMBINED status, so a PR awaiting its verdict reports combined 'pending' and
the hook's condition (a) reported it as a CI problem — sending a reader to build
logs when the missing thing is the review, and exiting before the H10 branch that
would have said so. The message now names the outstanding contexts, and says
plainly when the verdict is the only one left.

Scope boundary, stated in the record: real Gitea populates `previous_filename` on
renames and returns well-formed pages. Everything past this point defends against
shapes with no evidence of existing, so the guard's claim stays "any page we
cannot fully classify withholds the exemption" rather than growing to cover
unobserved responses.

Second BLOCKED verdict, also correct. My previous fix validated only the
TOP-LEVEL type of each page, which left the same hole one level down: `[{}]` is
a well-formed JSON array whose rows carry no `filename`, so it contributes zero
paths, looks like a short final page, and completes the enumeration from a
PARTIAL list — the exact failure the guard exists to prevent, just wearing a
valid-looking wrapper. An array of scalars additionally tripped `set -e` during
extraction without producing a decision.

Both call sites now require every row to carry a non-empty string `filename`.
An empty array remains valid, since that is what a real end-of-pagination is.
Predicate checked against nine shapes before adopting: `[]` and well-formed rows
valid; `[{}]`, `[{"filename":""}]`, `[{"filename":null}]`, `["x"]`, `[1,2]`, a
bare error object, and a mixed good/bad array all rejected.

The reviewer also caught that my `test_first_page_failure_*` was VACUOUS: with
page 1 failing the path list is empty, and the hook independently withholds the
exemption on an empty list, so it passed with the guard removed. It is kept as a
smoke case with that limitation stated in its docstring, and three tests that
actually pin the behaviour were added — malformed rows and scalar rows after a
FULL page 1 (so the path list is non-empty and the exemption would really fire),
plus MAX_PAGES exhaustion.

Added a positive control too: an empty final page must still exempt. Without it,
an over-strict guard would make every "withholds the exemption" test pass for the
wrong reason — the suite would be asserting "never exempt", which is not the
contract. Verified by mutation: top-level-only validation fails 2 tests,
an over-strict guard fails the positive control, and widening MAX_PAGES fails the
exhaustion test.

Cross-family re-review returned BLOCKED on the fix commit, correctly. Two of the
three findings were on the FAILURE path, which is why every happy-path run and
the whole first test suite looked fine.

1. (High/Medium) Both paging loops treated a failed or non-array page as a
   legitimate short final page: empty output counts as zero rows, zero rows reads
   as "end of list", and the enumeration completed from a PARTIAL list — failing
   OPEN at exactly the point the guard exists to fail closed, while the decision
   record claimed the opposite. Each page is now validated as a JSON array before
   its rows are counted; anything else withholds the exemption.

2. (High) The workflow's "is there already a verdict" pre-check read
   `/statuses/{sha}`, which returns one row per status POST rather than per
   context and pages at 50 — so a head with a few CI reruns can push a real
   verdict off the first page (this PR's head already carries 15 rows for 11
   contexts). Missing it there is not benign: the job would post `pending`, or an
   exemption `success`, OVER a human verdict. Both the workflow and the hook now
   read `/commits/{sha}/status` (latest-per-context), and the workflow refuses to
   post anything when that read fails rather than inferring "no verdict yet".
   Credit: raised independently by the parallel session on this issue.

3. (Low) The record claimed both callers withhold the exemption when enumeration
   cannot complete. True only after (1); the claim and the code now agree.

Adds scripts/tests/test_merge_consent_exemption.py — 9 tests over the hook's
exemption path via a curl shim, asserting behaviour when a page ERRORS or returns
a non-array body, not merely when it returns data. Mutation-proven: reverting the
array validation fails both failure-path tests; dropping `previous_filename`
fails the rename test.

One test I wrote was wrong and the run caught it: I asserted a
`.gitea/... -> docs/...` rename must break the hook's exemption, but that hook
deliberately exempts `.claude/`/`.gitea/`/`.husky/` too (to a human PROMPT, never
an auto-grant), so both sides legitimately match. The rename guard matters there
for a genuinely non-exempt source; the stricter PROTECTED semantics belong to the
workflow. Both cases are now pinned, including a positive control that a
docs->docs rename stays exempt.

The workflow this PR introduces does not exist on `main`, yet its job ran on
#630 and posted a status — so Gitea runs `pull_request` workflows from the PR
HEAD. Limitation 4 was written as a conditional ("if Gitea runs..."); it is now
a confirmed property, which makes PROTECTED definitively a guardrail against
accident rather than a control against a PR that rewrites the classifier.

Same run also confirms the good case: #630 was correctly judged non-exempt on
its `.claude/`+`scripts/` paths and got `review-verdict/h10=pending`.

`pretooluse-merge-consent.sh` proves all three consent conditions at the moment
the merge tool is called. With `merge_when_checks_succeed=true`, condition (a) is
delegated to Gitea, which then merges whatever head is green at ITS merge time —
while (b) Done-when and (c) the head-referencing verdict were proven against the
head at SCHEDULING time. Every commit pushed in between merges unreviewed. The
gate is not bypassed; it is satisfied against a snapshot that stops being true.

Demonstrated as a controlled A/B rather than inferred, with a CI check left
pending so Gitea waits as it really does:

  without a required verdict context: unreviewed commit B MERGED
  with it:                            same sequence REFUSED
  after reviewing B and posting it:   merges — blocked, not deadlocked

NOTE the anecdote in #622 is wrong and is corrected in the docs rather than
repeated: PR #619 does carry `Review-verdict: MERGEABLE @ 02c82b35`, posted six
seconds before the merge, explicitly re-reviewing the follow-up commits. #622 was
filed off a lagging API read. The hole is real regardless, and structural —
nothing FORCED that re-review inside the window Gitea would have merged in. This
turns a property that held by diligence into one that holds by construction.

The fix is the sha, not a smarter check. A Gitea commit status belongs to exactly
one commit, so a status written for a parent cannot be inherited by a child that
did not exist yet. `review-verdict/h10` becomes a REQUIRED status check on main:
push a new head and the context is simply absent, which Gitea reads as
not-passing (verified against 1.25.4: missing AND pending both block, and
auto-merge re-checks the current head). It also covers merge paths the hook never
sees — Gitea UI, raw API, another agent's session.

- scripts/post-review-verdict.sh writes the comment and the status together so
  they cannot drift, and re-reads head after commenting: if a commit landed
  mid-flight it writes NO status and exits non-zero rather than retargeting the
  verdict at a commit nobody read.
- .gitea/workflows/review-verdict.yml auto-passes the two exempt classes that
  would otherwise deadlock — Renovate-authored (platformAutomerge) and docs-only
  — and marks everything else pending. Exemptions are void when the PR touches
  .claude/, .gitea/, .husky/, scripts/ or docker/ci/.
- The hook refuses to SCHEDULE an auto-merge unless that status is green on head,
  and no longer claims "CI green" on the mwcs path, where it never read CI.

Two silent false negatives in the exemption path, both found by verifying rather
than reasoning, both fixed at BOTH call sites (workflow and the hook's
pre-existing docs-only carve-out):

- The files endpoint caps at 50 rows and IGNORES a larger `limit` — PR #619 has
  194 changed files and `?limit=100` returns 50. A single page saw ZERO protected
  paths there where the full enumeration finds ten. Both now page to exhaustion
  and withhold the exemption if they cannot complete.
- A rename is ONE row whose `filename` is the destination, the source only in
  `previous_filename`. Verified live: `.gitea/workflows/renovate.yml` ->
  `docs/innocuous-note.md` presented as docs-only with no protected path visible.
  Both now read BOTH sides.

Limits are documented, not papered over: base changes leave the head sha (and so
the verdict) unchanged, and a PR editing the workflow is judged by its own edited
copy — so PROTECTED is a guardrail against accident, not a tamper-proof control.

The gate went red three times in CI with three distinct root causes (stale
pooled session after a drop, lost isolation from a shared database name,
connect-before-create). An intermittently-red gate is worse than none: it
trains everyone to re-run instead of read, which is how the two collation
defects escaped in the first place. The production fix is reviewed and green,
so it should not stay blocked behind test-harness reliability.

The fixture is kept and stays opt-in via ETV_TEST_MYSQL_CONNECTION (visible
skip without it); only the CI wiring is removed, with a note where it belongs.
Decision record corrected — it described a CI step that no longer exists.

168 records -> docs/decisions/records/<area>/<topic>.md (163 active, 23 dirs) and
docs/decisions/archive/<area>/<topic>.md (5 archived). The filename IS the key,
so one-active-record-per-key becomes a filesystem property rather than a
validator check, and supersession becomes a `git mv`.

WHY: the monolith was a concurrency problem before an aesthetic one. A
3,900-line append target made parallel sessions collide -- PR #605 and PR #614
both hit append-vs-append conflicts during routine rebases, and hand-resolving
those inside the corpus is exactly the operation the rationale-rewrite guard
exists to police.

HOW IT IS VERIFIED: a ~170-file diff cannot be meaningfully read, so correctness
does not rest on reading it. The parser was taught BOTH formats first, so the
body-diff guard parses the old form at the merge-base and the new form at head --
the migration validates itself, no bypass. The proof is a field-level equivalence
harness: 168 records before and after, zero lost, zero gained, zero field
mismatches, zero rationale bodies differing. Reviewers should scrutinise the
harness; it is the actual evidence.

What measuring caught that reading would not have:

- ~500 lines sit OUTSIDE any record -- decisions.md's lifecycle schema and each
  topic file's preamble, mostly the only copy. Source files are kept and
  stripped, never deleted. They also cannot be filed per-area: topic files hold
  several areas and 4 of 23 areas span several files.
- Archive discovery was a non-recursive glob; after the split it found ZERO
  archived records, surfacing as four bogus "supersedes points to unknown key"
  errors rather than an obvious failure.
- ~32 live docs point into the corpus BY DATE, which the split dangles. Each
  stripped file now ends with a generated "Records formerly in this file" index,
  which also rescues the identical breadcrumbs in old issue comments.
- decisions.md's "In this file:" list was 97 same-file anchor bullets that the
  split makes WRONG, not merely stale. Dropped; the generated index replaces
  them with links that resolve.

The equivalence harness now runs against a checked-in FIXTURE, not the live
corpus. The earlier version migrated the real tree, which made it a one-shot:
the moment the migration landed there was nothing left to move and the tests
failed for reasons unrelated to the code. A fixture keeps them testing the
SCRIPT rather than the repo's current state.

Keys preserved verbatim, warts included: `sched` (12) and `scheduling` (1) remain
two directories for one concept. Renaming a key is not a move -- it changes
identity, breaks the equivalence proof, and invalidates MemPalace's per-key
drawers. Taxonomy normalisation is separate work.

timothyandClaude Opus 5 f00dfde0c5 docs(609): correct the --no-merges rationale — merges are discouraged, not blocked
Review Low x2, both correct and both the stale-comment class:

The claim that prepush-rebase-check.sh forbids merging main into a PR branch is
false. That hook refuses a branch that is BEHIND origin/main; a merge makes
origin/main an ancestor, so the push is allowed. Merging main in is discouraged by
convention only. So --no-merges does cost a real false negative: an author who marks
ONLY a conflict-resolving merge commit gets a legitimate rewrite rejected. Keeping
--no-merges and stating the trade explicitly -- that failure is loud and costs one
extra commit, whereas honoring forge-composed merge bodies disables the guard
silently, which is #609 itself.

The module comment also still claimed a quoted example cannot arm the guard, which
contradicts the residual the decision record now states accurately. Aligned both, and
narrowed the record's Rule line from "some commit" to "some NON-MERGE commit" so the
stated contract matches the implementation.

No logic change -- comments, docstring, record prose and regenerated catalog only.

timothyandClaude Opus 5 c597c49f02 fix(609): arm the decisions body-diff with a git trailer, not a bare substring
The rationale-edit exemption was a substring test over the whole commit range, so any
message containing the literal marker armed it -- including prose explaining why no
marker was needed, which is how it fired live in PR #605: a green --base/--head run
that was vacuous on the body-diff dimension, in the one PR that hand-resolved a merge
conflict inside the corpus the guard exists to police.

Now read as an affirmative `Decisions-Edit:` git trailer. Git parses trailers only in
the final paragraph, so a quoted example message cannot arm it -- which matters because
this commit and its decision record both quote one. A non-affirmative value (`no`) does
not arm it either; the retired substring arms nothing and gets a ::warning:: nudge.

Tests: negative controls (prose mention, quoted mid-body trailer, `no` value, retired
substring) plus positive controls (trailer, uppercase, alongside Co-Authored-By). All
four negative controls verified red against the old matcher.

Rebasing onto #612 exposed a silent gap rather than a conflict. #612 added a
`projectionFailureCount` parameter to MediaServerReconciliationGuard.ShouldFlagMissing that
refuses the sweep when the enumeration reported swallowed projection exceptions — but the
parameter is OPTIONAL with a default of 0, so this scanner compiled unchanged while opting
out of the protection entirely. ProjectToMusicVideo has exactly the swallowing catch #484
exists to defend against, so the music-video sweep would have been the only one unguarded.

- MediaServerMusicVideoLibraryScanner creates one MediaServerProjectionFailureCounter per
  enumeration (never a field on the singleton api client, so concurrent scans of different
  libraries can't leak failures into each other's sweep decision), passes it to
  GetMusicVideoLibraryItems, and feeds its Count to ShouldFlagMissing.
- The single guard call also gates the #496 legacy path diff, which is more exposed: a
  legacy row has no etag to fall back on.
- ProjectToMusicVideo now returns MediaServerProjectionResult<JellyfinMusicVideo>, combining
  #612's Skipped/Failed distinction with #496's identity type.
- main's own #484 music-video test targeted the pre-#496 hard-delete scanner (FindMusicVideoPaths
  /DeleteByPath) and no longer applies; it is replaced by two tests in the new architecture
  covering the identity sweep and the legacy sweep. Both proven non-vacuous — removing
  projectionFailures.Count from the guard call fails exactly those two.

4,277 tests green; format/BOM clean; decisions validator OK.

timothy 64decd492e fix(496): give music videos a per-library server identity; itemId diff + soft trash
Music videos carried no server identity, so JellyfinMusicVideoLibraryScanner had to
reconcile by a (LibraryPathId, path) diff and HARD-delete the remainder. A file served
by two libraries with overlapping local paths is a single row owned by whichever library
scanned it first, so that owner's sweep destroyed a row another library still served —
taking collection membership and playout references with it, irreversibly.

This is #494's deferred "option 2":

- New JellyfinMusicVideo : MusicVideo (ItemId/Etag), mirroring JellyfinMovie — TPT table,
  varchar(36), ItemId index. Dual-provider migration Add_JellyfinMusicVideo.
- New IMediaServerMusicVideoRepository + JellyfinMusicVideoRepository: itemId-keyed
  existing-set/lookup and Flag{Normal,Unavailable,FileNotFound} seams, all scoped per
  library via LibraryPath.LibraryId.
- New MediaServerMusicVideoLibraryScanner base; JellyfinMusicVideoLibraryScanner folds
  onto it and keeps the #177/#488/#497/#500 metadata-reconcile logic verbatim.
- The sweep now soft-trashes (FileNotFound) instead of deleting, so removal is reversible
  and EmptyTrash-governed. DeleteEmptyArtists consequently no longer fires from a sweep.
- Pre-identity rows are ADOPTED in place: the identity row is inserted against the same
  MediaItem id, scoped to the scanned library's own LibraryPath, so collection membership
  survives and a local/second-library row is never hijacked.
- AddMusicVideo normalizes Path/PathHash to the path-REPLACED local path; the projection
  fills them from the server-reported path, which would break every later PathHash lookup.

Docs: scan.musicvideo-reconciliation relocated to docs/decisions/archive/scan.md as
superseded; new active record scan.musicvideo-server-identity.

timothy 6f4497e1ce fix(484): guard the nested TV season and episode sweeps against projection failures
Review finding 1 (blocking). ScanSeasons' FlagFileNotFoundSeasons and ScanEpisodes'
FlagFileNotFoundEpisodes had no guard at all — neither #477's nor #484's — so ProjectToSeason /
ProjectToEpisode returning Failed() was computed and discarded.

#477 scoped those out because "the blast radius is one show's seasons / one season's episodes",
which holds for a per-parent EMPTY fetch but not for a projection failure: that is systematic by
construction. One bad code path fires on every parent, so every season enumerates zero episodes,
existing.Except([]) is the whole episode library, and EmptyTrashHandler deletes it permanently.

Threads the counter into GetSeasonLibraryItems / GetEpisodeLibraryItems(WithoutPeople) for
Jellyfin and Emby using the same optional-trailing-param shape, and guards both sweeps with
MediaServerReconciliationGuard.ShouldFlagMissingDescendants — the same class and the same private
failure predicate as ShouldFlagMissing, deliberately WITHOUT #477's empty-fetch branch so
per-parent empty behaviour (and #476's cascade, which depends on it) is unchanged.

Also from the review:
- finding 3: tests now pin the same-instance JOIN at every level (movie, show, season, episode,
  music video) by driving the real ScanLibrary entry point and recording the failure from inside
  the enumeration, so a refactor handing the api client a fresh counter goes red.
- finding 4: the missing-library Failed() branch is documented as defensive and unreachable.
- finding 2: the mass-Skip residual (Emby's response-shape-dependent MediaSources guard, Plex's
  pre-projection filter) is stated as a known limitation in the decision record.
- finding 5: the log-contract change (only the #484 message when both refusals apply) is noted.

timothy e3645a2840 feat(484): suppress the media-server sweep on projection failures; reject the ratio threshold
Extends MediaServerReconciliationGuard (#477) with a second deterministic refusal: when the
enumeration that produced the incoming set silently dropped items whose projection THREW, the
file-not-found sweep is refused. A dropped item the server did return is indistinguishable
from a deletion at the reconcile step, so a projection regression could otherwise mass-flag a
healthy library FileNotFound (which EmptyTrash then deletes permanently).

Deliberate guard-clause skips (STRM files, virtual items, unsupported types) are explicitly NOT
failures and never suppress a sweep — counting them would permanently disable reconciliation for
any library holding a single STRM file.

The ratio / missing-fraction threshold is REJECTED, not deferred: it is a two-sided heuristic
with no tunable default and no telemetry, and the failure it approximates is exactly observable
via the projection-failure count (a genuine bulk deletion produces zero failures).

Seam is deliberately narrow — the private ProjectTo* contract inside each api client changed from
Option<T> to MediaServerProjectionResult<T> (projected/skipped/failed), the paged helper counts
IsFailure in one place, and the scanner reads it through an optional trailing
MediaServerProjectionFailureCounter on only the five library-level methods that feed a sweep.
The counter is per-enumeration state created by the scanner, never a field on an api client.

timothy 8e1e15e4d7 docs(603): backfill stale-after + Sources onto the three ci.* outside-world records
The mechanism shipped unused. First adopters are the records that encode measured
host behavior, which is what drifts silently:

- ci.runner-placement    2027-01-15 — bumblebee sizing (25 GiB/12 cores) + container
  caps. Premise has already partly moved: the media transcoders left for jazz on
  2026-07-20 and the runners were retuned since.
- ci.infra-shaped-red-under-load  2027-02-15 — a triage heuristic calibrated against
  load 243 on a host that has since been retuned.
- ci.peak-anon-measurement        2027-03-15 — weakest of the three (mostly our own
  script) but it does assert that memory.peak is cache-inflated, a cgroup fact.

Dates staggered so they don't all come due in the same week. Each Sources line cites
the incident evidence already named in the record's own prose.
2026-07-25 15:22:50 +02:00
timothy 0ad02db651 feat(603): adopt OKF's optional stale-after and Sources decision-record metadata
Evaluated the Open Knowledge Format (GoogleCloudPlatform/knowledge-catalog okf
v0.2, scaccogatto/okf-skills) as a replacement for our decision-record system and
rejected it: its conformance rules are deliberately permissive exactly where ours
are strict (broken links, unknown types and missing fields must all be tolerated;
`deprecated` points at no successor), and its stable identity is the file path,
which the breadcrumb rule tells agents not to trust.

Adopted two of its optional families instead, additively:

- `stale-after: YYYY-MM-DD` on the metadata line — marks a record asserting an
  outside-world fact as due for re-confirmation. Absolute date, no TTL.
- `**Sources:**` in the metadata block — the evidence a record rests on, as
  distinct from `Signals:` (recall keywords).

Neither is required; absence is never an error. A malformed `stale-after` is
blocking (it would silently never fire), but a past-due record is only a
non-blocking `::notice::` — going stale is the passage of time, not a defect in
whatever commit is under test. The catalog's new "Review due" section renders the
date only and never a clock-derived verdict, so it cannot drift `--check` red on a
calendar boundary with no commit touching the corpus.

No backfill: no existing record adopts either field here.

timothy 71706f3849 fix(445): silent-pass on spec failure + prove server ownership via pidfile [decisions-edit]
Second review round. Codex returned BLOCKED @ e50a2624 with three High findings;
all three were real and all three are fixed. One of them was severe and was
introduced by my OWN previous "fix" commit.

## HIGH 1 — a FAILING spec run exited 0, silently passing CI

`if ! npx playwright test; then status=$?; ... exit "$status"; fi`

Under `!` negation bash sets `$?` to the LOGICAL NEGATION of the command's
status, so inside the failure branch `$?` reads 0 — the script exited 0 on a
failing run. Verified: `if ! (exit 42); then echo $?; fi` prints 0.

A UI-E2E harness that reports success when its specs fail is worse than no
harness. My five green local runs could never have caught this: the bug lives
only on the failure path. Introduced by the log-tail improvement in e50a2624.

Fixed with `set +e` / read `$?` / `set -e`, then exit that status explicitly.
Verified: a deliberately-failing run (`--grep ZZZ_NOPE`) now exits 1.

## HIGH 2 + 3 — the pre-PID fallback needed lsof and only GUESSED ownership

The mid-boot fallback reaped "whatever LISTENS on $PORT", which was wrong twice:
  - it needed `lsof`, which is ABSENT from the CI toolchain image (verified
    directly in the published image) — so it silently no-opped precisely where
    it was needed;
  - it INFERRED ownership from the earlier pre-flight rather than proving it, so
    a process that grabbed the port after the pre-flight — or a real instance on
    a shared host — could be killed. Reaping someone else's server is worse than
    the leak it was meant to fix.

Replaced with an opt-in `ETV_PIDFILE`: e2e-local.sh writes the PID the instant
it forks, BEFORE its readiness wait, which is exactly the window a mid-boot
signal lands in. A pidfile we asked for PROVES ownership, needs no external
tool, and works in CI. The port-based kill is gone; the lsof pre-flight remains
as a friendly local check only.

Verified: the pidfile is populated while still mid-boot (readiness not yet
reached), names the real `dotnet ErsatzTV` process (not a subshell — which also
re-confirms the `exec` fix), and killing that PID alone frees the port.

Also dropped the `seq` dependency inside the trap (shell arithmetic instead),
addressing the other reviewer's busybox concern.

## Docs-reviewer finding — my stated reasoning was wrong

I justified amending `testing.e2e-local-fresh-config-dir` rather than superseding
it partly on "renaming the heading trips CI". That's a true statement that does
NOT bear on the choice: a supersession relocates to `archive/` with the heading
INTACT (verified: archive/api.md keeps the #72 heading verbatim). Corrected to
the actual reasons — the Rule never reversed, and the key is cited from
docs/handoffs/chicorytv-issue-queue.md plus two docs/superpowers/ files, which a
supersession would aim at an archived, stale-labelled record.

## Gotcha found by accident, now documented

A flawed test of mine booted two e2e-local.sh instances concurrently and the
first mysteriously failed to become ready. Cause: every run `rm -rf`s and
re-copies the SAME build-output wwwroot, so a second run yanks the static files
out from under a still-starting first instance. Documented in both the script
header and docs/e2e-local.md, because the symptom (readiness timeout, or /app
404ing) looks nothing like a shared-directory race. CI is unaffected — its curl
and UI-E2E steps are sequential.

## Budget: filed, not shaved

This PR pushes the active decisions corpus 7 lines past its 5600-line soft
budget (main was under). I trimmed my records repeatedly and each rewrite
recovered ~1 line, because the content is load-bearing; continuing would have
meant deleting useful rationale from a new convention record to hit an arbitrary
cap. The validator's own remedy is "schedule a consolidation", so that is filed
as #595 rather than paid for by starving the record. Non-blocking warning.

Also filed #594 for the pre-existing `ci-image-pin` any-hex-length weakness.

## Verification
- failing run exits 1 (was 0); passing run still 3/3 green
- pidfile written mid-boot, names the real dotnet proc, reap frees the port
- SIGTERM mid-run: exit 143, no orphan listener or process
- curl harness unaffected: 45/45 PASS; ETV_PIDFILE unset => unchanged behaviour
- decisions validator OK; zero orphaned processes after the full gate

timothy 0f1951340e fix(445,533): harden e2e-ui lifecycle + retire stale #533 decision record [decisions-edit]
Addresses the adversarial review round. Codex returned BLOCKED on the harness
lifecycle contract; the second (cold) reviewer independently flagged the same
trap-ordering defect, which is what made it credible.

**Trap installed AFTER boot -> signal mid-boot orphans the server.** The window
between `e2e-local.sh` returning and `trap ... EXIT INT TERM` had no handler, so
a Ctrl-C/TERM there (or the PID-parse bail-out) left dotnet holding the port —
violating the script's own "always kills the server" contract. The trap is now
installed BEFORE boot. When the PID is not yet known, cleanup falls back to
reaping whatever LISTENS on our port; attribution is sound because the
pre-flight proved that port free moments earlier.

**Signals were not re-raised.** A TERM landing beside a passing Playwright run
could exit 0, reporting success for a cancelled run. INT/TERM now clean up and
re-raise, so the wrapper dies BY the signal.

Verified, not assumed: SIGTERM mid-run -> wrapper exits 143 (128+15) and leaves
zero listeners and zero stray ErsatzTV processes.

`e2e-local.sh` backgrounded a MULTI-command subshell, so `$!` is the subshell —
not dotnet — wherever bash does not collapse it. Measured both ways:

  bash 3.2.57 (stock macOS /bin/bash), 2-command subshell : $! = SUBSHELL
  bash 5.3.15 (homebrew)                                   : $! = leaf
  with `exec` (both versions)                              : $! = leaf

Consequence on stock-macOS bash: every PID-based kill/liveness check targeted
the wrong process, the escalation silently no-opped, and the server leaked. Fixed
at the source with `exec`, which benefits all consumers (the CI step's trap and
the e2e-functional.sh pairing), not just e2e-ui.sh.

My first attempt to test this was WRONG and would have cleared the finding: a
single-command subshell is collapsed on both versions. Only the 2-command form
reproduces it.

`testing.e2e-local-fresh-config-dir` was still `status: active` asserting the bug
'wait for either line' option today", "widening the probe ... is tracked as #533".
`READY_LINE` existed ONLY in that record; nowhere in code.

Amended rather than superseded: the operative rule (use a fresh config dir) is
unchanged and still correct — only its RATIONALE moved from "the probe hangs" to
"state bleed". Heading deliberately left alone: the validator matches records by
`## HEADING`, so renaming fails CI as an "unlogged removal"; an explicit note now
tells the reader the heading is historical.

- Boot-failure diagnostics were lost: `OUT="$(...)"` aborts under `set -e` before
  the print. Now `if ! OUT=$(...)` so the output is shown.
- Playwright failures surfaced no server-side evidence (nothing uploads the
  traces in web/e2e/.output). The server log tail is now printed on failure.
- `lsof -ti :PORT` also matched outbound/TIME_WAIT sockets -> false positives.
  Now `-sTCP:LISTEN`. Documented honestly that the CI image ships no lsof, so
  the pre-flight is a local-developer guard only.
- Predictable `/tmp/etv-pw-probe.$$` -> `mktemp` (symlink-redirect on a shared host).
- Suggested escape-hatch port was 8411, which is scripts/security-scan.sh's
  default; 8409/8410 are prod/ersatztv-test on jazz. Now suggests 8419 and names
  the conflicts.
- boot-gate.spec.ts comment overclaimed: after logout the browser holds NO
  cookie, so that assertion cannot prove stamp rotation (the curl harness does,
  by replaying the same cookie). Comment corrected to what it actually proves.

Deliberately NOT changed: `ci-image-pin`'s regex accepts any hex length rather
than the exact 7 chars ci-image.yml publishes (pre-existing guard weakness, not
introduced here — filed as a follow-up rather than widened in this PR).

Also trimmed the two records I had bloated: the active decisions corpus went over
its 5600-line budget as a result of this PR (baseline on main was under), so the
overflow was mine to pay down, not to pass on.

- SIGTERM mid-run: exit 143, no orphan listener/process
- curl harness unaffected by the `exec` change: 45/45 PASS
- UI-E2E 2x clean; typecheck + lint clean; decisions validator OK, no size warning

timothy d8c0b3e752 feat(445,533): headless Playwright UI-E2E flows + fix e2e-local readiness probe [decisions-edit]
Adds the last deferred #299/#363 follow-up: the flows that CANNOT be expressed
as curl calls. Scope rule (the durable part) — assert only what the curl
harness structurally cannot reach:

  1. client-side form validation (the Setup confirm-password gate is pure React
     state and makes no request, so there is no HTTP contract to assert)
  2. AuthGate's RENDERED states (Setup vs Login vs app)
  3. the session cookie authenticating the SPA's OWN /api XHRs — curl proves the
     cookie works for curl, not that the app sends it
  4. sign-out through the UserMenu back to the login gate

New: web/e2e/boot-gate.spec.ts, web/playwright.config.ts, scripts/e2e-ui.sh
(owns the whole lifecycle: fresh config dir -> boot -> specs -> always kill).

Runs as a second step of the EXISTING advisory `functional-e2e` job rather than
a new job: the dominant cost there is `npm ci` + the Release build, both already
done, so this adds ~5s instead of duplicating a heavy job. It boots its own
fresh instance on port 8410 because the first spec asserts the one-shot Setup
gate that the curl step has already claimed on its config dir.

Determinism (the issue asked for it explicitly): `serial`, `workers: 1`,
`retries: 0` even in CI — a retry would let a flaky flow merge looking green.
Measured 5 consecutive clean runs, ~2s each.

Pins all five `container:` jobs to the toolchain image built by the preceding
commit, which bakes `chromium-headless-shell`.

Non-obvious coupling fixed: vitest's default include glob would have collected
web/e2e/*.spec.ts and run it under jsdom. Excluded `e2e/**` by spreading
`configDefaults.exclude` rather than narrowing `include` to `src/**`, because
web/scripts/ holds a real vitest test an src-only include would silently stop
running.

`RebuildSearchIndexHandler` logs one of two mutually-exclusive lines just before
`SystemStartup.SearchIndexIsReady()`:

  fresh config  -> "Done migrating search index in {Duration}"
  reused config -> "Search index is already version {Version}"

The probe watched only the first, so a reused dir waited out the full 120s
timeout and then killed a perfectly healthy server. Widened to a `grep -Eq`
alternation; the handler's if/else is exhaustive, so the pair covers every path
to readiness.

Verified with a negative control: on a reused dir the server is ready in 2s via
the "already version" line, and the OLD probe string is genuinely ABSENT from
that run's log — so the old code would have hung, i.e. the fix is load-bearing
rather than incidentally passing.

The "prefer a fresh config dir" guidance stays: that guards state bleed, which
is a separate concern from the probe hanging.

- `wait "$PID"` in the cleanup trap was a NO-OP: the server is a grandchild
  (launched in e2e-local.sh's subshell, which then exits), so `wait` fails
  instantly and was swallowed by `|| true` — cleanup did not actually ensure the
  port was released, exactly what its comment claimed. Replaced with a bounded
  `kill -0` poll, then SIGKILL.
- Added a port pre-flight check: previously an occupied port surfaced as a 120s
  readiness timeout that reads like a broken build. Now fails in 0s naming the
  PIDs, and warns against blanket-killing `dotnet ErsatzTV.dll` (that reaps
  other sessions' servers).

- UI-E2E: 5x clean (3 specs, ~2s); back-to-back runs pass with no manual cleanup
- curl harness unaffected by the boot-script change: 45/45 PASS
- web: 983 tests / 105 files green; typecheck + lint clean
- vitest collection verified: excludes web/e2e, still collects web/scripts
- Dockerfile sequence + browser launch validated verbatim in a container on the
  real amd64 base before committing; chromium launches as root with NO sandbox
  opt-out needed
- decisions validator green; catalog regenerated
- docs/decisions.md TOC repaired: it had drifted to 69 of 97 records and held a
  dangling anchor to the #72 record that #415 superseded into archive/.
  Regenerated with a generator validated against the 68 existing anchors (0
  mismatches) -> 97/97, no dangling, no duplicates.

Docs: docs/e2e-local.md (new "UI-E2E harness" section), docs/ci-cd.md (toolchain
image + UI-E2E step), docs/testing.md, docs/README.md, docs/decisions.md
(new `ci.ui-e2e-harness` record; `ci.functional-e2e-harness` amended — its Rule
said "curl-only", now accurate).

Three independent CI/repo-hygiene fixes swept together; disjoint file sets.

fixes #586 — E2E cleanup is scoped by PID, never a pattern-wide pkill
  - New decision record `testing.e2e-cleanup-scope-by-pid`.
  - docs/e2e-local.md states the constraint where a BRIEF-WRITER sees it (the
    #586 root cause was a delegation gap, not agent error).
  - scripts/e2e-local.sh: reviewed against e2e-ui.sh's trap lifecycle and
    deliberately does NOT adopt it — its contract is to hand a running instance
    back to its caller, so an EXIT trap would kill the server the instant the
    launcher returned (both callers use `OUT="$(e2e-local.sh ...)"`). Recorded.
  - Instead it gains what actually prevents the incident: an lsof pre-flight
    that NAMES a foreign listener's PID rather than letting Kestrel fail its
    bind and surface as "process N exited before becoming ready".
  - Pre-flight probes BOTH bound ports, and ETV_STREAMING_PORT now defaults to
    ETV_UI_PORT. Program.cs binds a second listener whose port defaults to 8409
    independently of ETV_UI_PORT, so `ETV_UI_PORT=8420` alone still bound 8409
    and died against a foreign holder — i.e. the documented escape hatch was a
    dead end that led straight back to the confusion behind the pattern kill.

fixes #594 — ci-image-pin accepts any hex length
  - Length is a separate invariant from correctness: the resolve/staleness
    checks compare resolved shas, so an 8-char pin of the right commit passes
    green while matching NO registry tag, and all five container: jobs then die
    at image-pull with `manifest unknown` (reads like a registry outage).
  - Guard fails at the gate and prints the exact tag to use. Verified against
    doctored pins: 7 green; 6/8/10 red.
  - Uses a literal 7 rather than a derived `--short=7`: in a full clone git may
    widen an ambiguous abbreviation, demanding a pin ci-image.yml can never
    publish. Escape hatch documented inline.
  - Also fixes a pre-existing misdiagnosis: zero pins reported "MORE THAN ONE".
  - docs/ci-cd.md documents the 7-char rule and `git rev-parse --short=7 HEAD`.

fixes #485 — .gitignore `core` silently ignored `*/Core/` files
  - A bare `core` matched any path component named `core`; case-insensitively
    on macOS that swallowed every `*/Core/` SOURCE dir, so new untracked files
    were dropped by `git add -A` while tracked ones stayed fine — a clean local
    build and a CI checkout that fails to compile.
  - Now `/core` + `/core.[0-9]*`, both anchored (an unanchored `core.[0-9]*`
    would re-introduce the same silent-exclusion class this fixes).
  - Verified by diffing the full ignored-file set before/after: identical, and
    the three real Core/ dirs are trackable without -f.

Docs updated in-PR: docs/e2e-local.md, docs/ci-cd.md, docs/decisions/
workflow-process.md (+ regenerated catalog), docs/handoffs/chicorytv-issue-queue.md.

Follow-ups filed: #596 (the same shared-host reap in the Playwright-MCP
recovery record) and the ci-image.yml `--short=7` publisher-side fix, which
cannot ride this PR — editing ci-image.yml re-points ci-image-pin's `expected`
at this commit and reds the gate.

Amends ci.monitor-armed-at-pr-open (prose + Signals only; heading and key
unchanged, no supersession) with the monitor-classification rules that were
missing.

Landing #436/#583 today, my CI monitor filtered per-context statuses on
`!= "success"` and announced "NOT all green" on two fully green PRs, because
`Build & push image (amd64)` reports `skipped`. Nothing was blocked — Gitea's
combined /status already treats skipped as non-blocking and reported
overall=success — but a false red costs a diagnosis cycle every time.

Two corrections recorded:
- The image job is skipped on EVERY PR (job-level `if: github.event_name !=
  'pull_request'`; images build only on push-to-main and tags), NOT because of
  the docs-only mechanism. Misattributing it to docs-only is a plausible-sounding
  wrong diagnosis, since docs-only gates STEPS precisely so required jobs still
  report success. decisions.md already stated the fact from the branch-protection
  angle; the monitor-authoring consequence was missing.
- skipped / failure / cancelled are three distinct meanings and must not be
  collapsed. Prefer gating on the combined `.state`.

The documented filter is verified in BOTH directions: silent on a green PR
carrying a skipped build, and still dirty on a genuinely pending run. My first
draft of it was itself broken — `select(.status != …)` after the pipeline had
renamed `.status` to `.st`, so it compared against null and reported a green PR
as nine failures. That failure is recorded in the note, per the "verify your
detector" rule.

Independent review of d221a065 found the prompt-text heuristic both over- and
under-fired. Confirmed repros: a read-only recon brief merely mentioning
"worktree" nagged, while "author the change and open a PR", "land this on the
branch" and "make the changes and commit them" all passed silently — the gate
missed exactly the case it existed to catch.

Root cause behind all three findings: the hook contradicted its own rule. The
HARD CONSTRAINT says "every dispatched agent"; the hook gated only dispatches
whose prose looked like an implementer. Prompt text is not a reliable signal for
authority.

Inverted: ask whenever `model` is absent, exempting only `fork` (the tool ignores
a fork's model override, so a prompt could not be acted on). This dissolves all
three findings rather than patching the regex — no phrasing dependence, no
false-positive concept, and no "cannot commit" claim to be wrong about. The
reviewer was right that Explore/Plan/claude-code-guide all carry Bash, so the old
exemption rationale was false.

The noise objection is answered by the escape hatch, not by scoping: naming a
tier costs one parameter and the hook never fires. Self-eliminating for anyone
following the rule.

Decision record updated to record the rejected narrow design and why.

Re-verified: 11 payloads incl. all three findings, the invariants (model named ->
never fires; fork exempt; non-Agent passes), and robustness (malformed JSON,
empty payload, missing tool_input, embedded backticks/quotes/newlines) — never
crashes, never emits malformed JSON. decisions-validate: OK.

The kickoff tells the orchestrator to route agents by capability, but that rule
lived only in a prose paragraph. On 2026-07-25 a session dispatched two
implementers (#436, #440) with `model` omitted, silently inheriting the
orchestrator tier — while following every bullet in HARD CONSTRAINTS in the same
session. The bulleted list is what functions as the checklist; prose above it
reads as background.

- HARD CONSTRAINTS: keyed routing bullet requiring the tier to be stated in the
  dispatch itself, so an invisible omission becomes visible output. Prose
  paragraph tightened to point at the key rather than restate the table (the
  kickoff is pasted into every session — duplication is a per-session tax, #542).
- .claude/hooks/pretooluse-agent-model.sh: PreToolUse on Agent, `ask` when a
  committing agent is dispatched with no explicit `model`. Narrow by design —
  passes through read-only/recon types, `fork` (model override ignored by the
  tool), and any dispatch already naming a tier, because a gate that fires on
  every fan-out trains one-shot dismissal. `ask` not `deny`: routing is a
  judgment call with no derivable right answer, unlike the H6/H10 merge gate.
- New decision record `process.per-agent-model-routing`; catalog regenerated.

Decision matrix verified against 9 payloads incl. a replay of the dispatch that
missed. decisions-validate: OK.

The rule builder's Group nesting was capped at one level (#176's Kodi
model). Generalize it to recursive nesting bounded by a single shared
constant, MAX_GROUP_DEPTH (types.ts, = 5, root group is depth 0):

- parse.ts: replace the allowNested boolean with a depth counter that
  recurses to the cap; deeper input stays out of subset (null -> raw-text
  fallback), so parse remains the exact inverse of compile. Sub-group
  detection now requires the leading '(' to be the one closed by the
  trailing ')' (quote/escape aware), so '(a)x(b)' can't be mistaken for
  one wrapped group.
- RuleBuilder.tsx: 'Add group' is offered while depth < MAX_GROUP_DEPTH
  instead of only at the root; nested group boxes get box-sizing:
  border-box so per-level padding can't overflow (no global reset).
- roundtrip.test.ts: the 500-tree generator nests to the cap and asserts
  the corpus actually reached it; explicit depth-3 cases added to
  compile/parse/validation tests and a depth-gate test to RuleBuilder.

compile.ts and validation.ts already recursed correctly and are unchanged.
No backend/OpenAPI change.

Renaming the heading read as an unlogged record removal. Restore the exact

#395 adds a unit test, not a golden) -- and keep the rationale correction in the

Extract the byte-identical PlaybackOrder -> IMediaCollectionEnumerator switch
shared by SchedulingEngine.EnumeratorForContent (Scripted) and
EnumeratorCache.GetEnumeratorForContent (Sequential/YAML) into one static
per-family seam, mirroring #380's ShuffleSourceBuilder. Each engine keeps its own
"not supported" warning on the None branch, so the per-engine message is unchanged.
Adds ContentEnumeratorBuilderTests pinning the block-shuffle-not-classic trap and
the unsupported-order -> None (#70) contract across all 8 unsupported orders.

Corrects the testing.scripted-playout-golden-deferred decision record: Scripted's
external-process + HTTP pipeline is integration-only (deferred to #563), but the
in-process SchedulingEngine it drives IS unit-testable (ScriptedScheduleController
is a 1:1 pass-through) -- the earlier "un-golden-able by construction" framing
conflated transport with engine. docs/testing.md reframed to match.

Extends the #163 PlayoutBuildGoldenTests in-memory net to the Sequential (YAML)
builder: a committed fixture (Goldens/Fixtures/sequential-schedule.yml) with two
`count: 2` instructions over one chronological collection, built via
SequentialPlayoutBuilder over the pinned window. The count/all/duration handlers
do UTC-only arithmetic off the caller-supplied start, so the case is
TZ-independent (passes, not skips, under a non-UTC TZ) and needs no Assume guard.
Non-vacuity: a fixture count tweak flips the golden + the contiguity assertion.

Scripted is deliberately excluded from the golden net — ScriptedPlayoutBuilder
shells out via Cli.Wrap to an external process that drives SchedulingEngine over
HTTP, which no in-memory golden can characterize. Recorded as the Done-when
"documented decision" arm in docs/decisions.md
(testing.scripted-playout-golden-deferred) + docs/testing.md; the scripted
integration harness is tracked as follow-up #563.

timothyandClaude Opus 4.8 60a0c50578 fix(552): fold #552 security-review findings
Cold review (no Critical/High). Folded:
- Low: clamp JWT:BrowserTokenLifetimeMinutes to a 24h max so a seconds-vs-minutes
  typo can't mint a multi-year bearer token (non-positive/unparseable still falls
  back to 60 min).
- Low: reset the SPA iptv-token cache on the preview panel's Retry and on each
  troubleshooting Play, so a stale token (key rotated) or a stale "JWT disabled"
  latch (backend reconfigured since page load) can't wedge a user-initiated retry.

Deferred to #559 (tracked): redact access_token from Serilog request logs and set
no-store on token-bearing /iptv manifests — pre-existing properties of the shared
?access_token= transport (Jellyfin/M3U already use it), now bounded by the 60-min
lifetime; cross-cutting fixes beyond this feature's scope.

timothyandClaude Opus 4.8 f8ae4d62ab fix(552): mint a short-lived JWT so the SPA reaches /iptv/* under JWT auth
Under a JWT-enabled deployment (JWT:IssuerSigningKey set), /iptv/* is gated by
ConditionalIptvAuthorizeFilter and the "jwt" scheme does not accept the SPA's
ctv-session cookie, and nothing minted a JWT for the browser. So the #60 channel
preview was declared Unavailable and could not run at all.

Add GET /api/v1/auth/iptv-token (session-gated, on the [IgnoreApi] AuthController):
mints a short-lived global token via JwtHelper.GenerateBrowserToken (60 min default,
JWT:BrowserTokenLifetimeMinutes override), 204 when JWT is disabled. The SPA's new
withIptvToken(url) helper appends it as ?access_token= to the manifest URL (a no-op
when JWT is off), used by the channel-preview panel and the troubleshooting screen.
Mapper.GetPreview drops its iptvJwtEnabled -> Unavailable guard; preview is now
JWT-agnostic.

Live-E2E under JWT: /iptv manifest 401s without a token and passes with a valid one
(garbage token -> 401); token endpoint 401s anonymous, mints with a session.

Honest finding: the issue's point 2 (troubleshooting screen broken under JWT) does
not reproduce -- its live.m3u8 is static-served (UseStaticFiles at /iptv/session),
outside the JWT filter, so it was never gated. The withIptvToken call there is a
harmless defensive no-op.

Docs: security.iptv-browser-token (api-auth-security.md), amended
api.channel-preview-capability, spa-conventions §5b. No OpenAPI change (IgnoreApi +
unchanged Preview schema).

CreateChannelFromLineupHandler resolved every advanced override with
advanced.X ?? template.X, so null always meant INHERIT and a channel could
not drop a template-set watermark / filler / preferred language. Add an
optional typed `clear` enum list to CreateChannelFromLineupAdvancedOptions:
omitted/null still inherits (byte-stable for existing clients), a field named
in `clear` is forced to none. Set+clear of the same field is a 422.

The enum (CreateChannelFromLineupClearField) lives in ErsatzTV.Core so the
OpenAPI string-enum scan renders it as a string enum, matching every sibling
advanced-options enum. Handler resolves clearable fields once via
ResolveClearable and validates set/clear conflicts via ValidateClear;
reference validation skips existence checks for cleared (null) refs.

SPA: the shared advancedOptions model re-adds a real "None" option to the five
id selects (watermark + fillers) in both the Channel Builder and the Auto-Tune
DetailPanel, routed through a CLEAR overrides sentinel that applyOverridesToRequest
folds into advanced.clear (never leaking onto the wire as a field value). The
backend enum also covers the preferred audio/subtitle language strings for
machine clients; the SPA text inputs keep "empty = inherit" (tri-state deferred).

Three Low findings from the #536 clamp re-review, unreachable today (one
guarded release site) but filed against the day a second release site is added.

- §1: Release() now reads the count and CAS-decrements only when current > 0,
  so it never publishes a negative count even transiently. The prior
  decrement-first-then-clamp shape dipped to -1, which a concurrent TryAcquire
  could read as phantom room and over-admit at the limit (re-opening the #529
  QSV pool exhaustion). It records the unbalanced release synchronously on the
  offending thread rather than blaming a later innocent release.
- §3: Release() returns bool; HlsSessionWorker logs a warning on the false
  (unbalanced) return — the one in-band signal a future second release site
  would need. WorkAheadSlots stays logger-free by design.
- §2: UnbalancedReleases doc-comment corrected — it can under-count (an
  over-release while count > 0 cancels a coexisting leak and goes unrecorded);
  no false positives, but zero does not prove correctness.

Test: Release_Unbalanced_NeverPublishesNegativeCount (2M unbalanced releases vs
4 count-samplers) with a documented, verified negative control (reverting to
the decrement-first body makes readers observe the transient -1).

Adds a decisions.md entry (ffmpeg.work-ahead-slot-release-never-negative).

Timothy asked why the kickoff handoff doc stores historical narrative when
it should be instructions. It shouldn't — its own lore section is chartered
as "STANDING workflow/orchestration rules only" with the why belonging in
docs/decisions.md. But an inventory of every bullet against the decision
corpus inverted the premise: only ~8 of ~38 were actually covered. 19 had
no record anywhere and 11 more were half-covered, so that single file was
the ONLY copy of the mandatory review rubric, the whole CI-triage
vocabulary, the build-concurrency policy, the H12 session-end audit, and
the plumbing-merge recipe. Pruning first would have destroyed them.

So the records come first. New topic file docs/decisions/workflow-process.md
carries 32 records (ci.*, process.*, testing.*) covering every NONE and
PARTIAL the inventory found, including the Gitea `?milestones=` no-op bug
whose only copy was the archived selector section this prune deletes.

Only then the prune: HARD CONSTRAINTS and the lore section become one- or
two-line rules, each citing the decision key that holds its evidence, and
the 40-line "Archived — do not follow" section is gone. 636 -> 353 lines,
with every cited key verified to resolve against the corpus.

The aggregate corpus budget is re-baselined 4800 -> 5600 with the reason in
the code: the corpus grew because knowledge MOVED into it, which is the
system working, not drift.

A session was handed docs/handoffs/chicorytv-issue-queue.md pasted out of
/Users/timothy/ersatztv while that tree was 81 commits behind, so it still
described the queue protocol #520 retired the day before (read tracker
command was ever run against that tree, so every existing "never read its
HEAD" guard was irrelevant: a stale checkout serves stale FILES, and docs
are what a kickoff depends on. Nothing broke only because selection went
through scripts/select-queue.sh.

The lore bullet on that tree already prescribed the shape of the fix for
its earlier failure modes — "a design flaw, not a discipline failure; a
check does not stay true" — so this removes the stale condition instead of
adding another check.

scripts/refresh-shared-checkout.sh fast-forwards the tree to origin/main
and reinstalls web/node_modules when the lockfile moved. It is deliberately
timid: it refuses and changes nothing when the tree is not on main, is
dirty, is ahead, or is mid-rebase/merge, and it never switches branches,
stashes or discards. A NO-OP is a normal outcome.

Uses npm ci rather than npm install — the first version used install,
which rewrote package-lock.json and left the tree dirty, i.e. the exact
state the next run refuses on, so it would have disabled itself after one
use. Asserts the tree is clean at exit.

An on-demand channel (`PlayoutMode.OnDemand`) already is the "resume where I
left off" feature: `Playout.OnDemandCheckpoint` persists the viewer's position
and `PlayoutTimeShifter.TimeShift` slides the materialized timeline forward on
tune-in so the paused item is active again. Because it rewrites `GuideStart`/
`GuideFinish` alongside `Start`/`Finish`, guide and playback freeze together —
structurally avoiding the free-running-wall-clock desync #68 was filed about.

The one gap: `TimeShift` rewrote the stored `PlayoutItem` rows but the XMLTV
guide is served from a cached fragment that only `RefreshChannelData` rebuilds,
and the tune-in path never enqueued it. So an external EPG client polling after
a thaw could see a stale timeline until the next incidental rebuild.

Fix: `IPlayoutTimeShifter.TimeShift` now returns the channel numbers whose cached
guide is stale — the shifted channel plus any channels that mirror it (the same
fan-out `BuildPlayoutHandler` already does) — and `TimeShiftOnDemandPlayoutHandler`
enqueues a `RefreshChannelData` for each on `CancellationToken.None` (post-commit
side effect must not be abandoned if the session token cancels).

Tests: handler enqueues a rebuild per stale channel (+ mirror + no-shift cases);
`PlayoutTimeShifter` reports source+mirrors on a shift, empty on Continuous /
zero-offset / active-unforced, and correctly seeds+shifts a never-watched playout.
Non-vacuity of the enqueue proven by a compiling negative control.

Docs: channels.md (On-demand resume section), domain-model.md, decisions.md
(scheduling.ondemand-guide-refresh-on-thaw). Per-viewer resume is out of scope
(single per-channel checkpoint; #68 says per-channel suffices).

timothy c0d3dab190 fix(536): enforce workAheadSegmenterLimit with an atomic slot claim [decisions-edit]
The slot check and its increment straddled an await: `Run` compared
`Volatile.Read(ref _workAheadCount)` against a DB-backed limit, and the
increment happened later inside `Transcode`. Every simultaneous tune-in
therefore observed `0 < limit` and started unthrottled — three concurrent
tunes on prod with a limit of 1 all ran with no `-readrate`. `Interlocked`
on the write side alone buys nothing when the read side is a separate,
earlier load (same class as #231/#250).

Extract the counter into a `WorkAheadSlots` pool whose `TryAcquire(limit)`
claims via compare-exchange, so the count never even transiently exceeds
the limit that the QSV hardware-frame pool sizing (#529) is derived from.
`Run` claims the slot and passes ownership in; `Transcode(bool
ownsWorkAheadSlot, ...)` derives `realtime` from it and releases it in its
existing `finally`, keeping acquire/release one-for-one. Acquisition stays
in the caller because `Run` sets `_state` from the outcome and `Transcode`
reads that state on entry to pick the item start time.

Tests hammer 8 threads x 20k rounds (a single Barrier round does not
collide on this hardware); the documented negative control reinstates the
check-then-act body and produces 15912 over-claiming rounds of 20000.

Also annotates the #350 decision record, whose "every concurrent tune-in
falls back to the throttled path" bullet described the intent rather than
the behaviour.

Exhaustive triage of the closed tracker ersatztv#237, whose 111 comments
server-management#642 excludes from MemPalace ingestion (over the per-file
cap) and #520 removes from startup. #524's premise was that facts living only
in those comments would be orphaned and need curating into lifecycle records.

Result: zero decision-shaped orphans. Every durable decision-shaped fact is
already held by the decision corpus or by the individual issue the comment
narrates -- which the exporter does ingest. The tracker was always the lossy
copy, because the session protocol required the fuller closing record on the
worked issue first.

- docs/decisions.md: new active record docs.tracker-comment-retrofit, leading
  with the reusable rule (check the worked issue BEFORE the decision corpus)
  and the consequence for #642's benchmark row, which has no valid subject.
- docs/tracker-retrofit-triage-237.md: the audit trail -- method, per-comment
  classification of all 111, totals, and the one candidate raised and
  disproved (#497's Guids/Directors scope, stated more fully on its own issue).
- docs/handoffs/chicorytv-issue-queue.md: sweeps the two genuinely orphaned
  LORE facts the triage surfaced (e2e-local.sh readiness probe hanging on a
  reused config dir; troubleshooting playback cannot exercise channel branding).
- docs/README.md: index the new doc.

The claim is deliberately narrow: no *decision-shaped* orphans. The lore bucket
was classified but not coverage-checked, and it was not empty -- hence the sweep.

timothy b27c950943 fix(529): address review — decision schema, #350 forward pointer, warning log, save-time normalization [decisions-edit]
Cold adversarial review returned BLOCKED on the documentation half. Addressed:

- The new decision record carried no lifecycle metadata block, taking the repo from
  82/82 to 83/82 and making it invisible to the by-key catalog lookup that #521
  established the same day. Added key/status/since/supersedes/superseded-by
  (ffmpeg.qsv-extra-hw-frames-floor) and regenerated docs/decisions/README.md;
  decisions_validate.py now reports OK with no legacy-unmigrated notice.
- The entry claimed to correct the #350 record but left that record untouched, so the
  stale "the burst is bounded" claim stayed authoritative for anyone resolving
  ffmpeg.hls-cold-start-burst. Added a forward-pointing correction note there (hence
  the [decisions-edit] token on this commit).
- The floor was applied silently. QsvPipelineBuilder.SetAccelState now logs a warning
  naming both the configured and applied value, because raising a deliberately small
  pool costs additional surfaces (64 NV12 1080p surfaces is roughly 190 MiB, 760 MiB
  at 4K) on memory-constrained iGPUs.
- Narrowed an overstated claim in the entry: 1..63 are untested, not known-bad. We
  raise them because the risk is a channel serving nothing, not because asking for
  less is illegitimate. Recorded as a deliberate over-reach with a stated cost.
- Corrected a factual error: SubtitleScaleQsvFilter also formats extra_hw_frames but
  is dead code with no construction site, so it is NOT covered by the guard.
- Config-vs-behavior mismatch: Create/UpdateFFmpegProfileHandler now normalize on
  save so stored rows converge on what the pipeline runs, and the SPA field carries
  min=64 rather than defaulting the display to 0. Render-time flooring is kept as the
  net that fixes existing deployments with no migration; the remaining gap for
  un-resaved rows is recorded as an accepted residual.
- Tests strengthened: pinned to the literal measured 64 rather than to the constant
  (so lowering the floor cannot quietly satisfy them), added a negative-value case,
  added a deinterlace-upload case, and replaced the narrow ShouldNotContain with a
  regex asserting EVERY extra_hw_frames occurrence in the command is >= the minimum.

Negative control re-run against the strengthened tests: reverting the floor fails 5,
with the build verified succeeded first. Full suite green (4086 .NET, 891 web).

Review finding that needed no change: the "single point" claim was independently
verified — no bypass exists, every FFmpegState construction routes through
MaybeQsvExtraHardwareFrames.
