`docs.no-session-narrative` reaches every durable artifact, but its detector scanned only
`docs/**/*.md` and root markdown, and nothing had ever swept the rest. The issue named four sites
from one grep and called them a floor. Deriving the population instead — a whitespace-joined sweep
over every tracked file outside the detector, for the detector's own phrasings plus the attribution
and review-round class #812 found — gave 453 sites in 108 files at `fb5592971`, and a second pass
for phrasings the first list missed (hyphenated `round-N`, "an earlier version", "the reviewer
proved") added residuals in the same files. Every site was classified with #812's three
dispositions (CUT / SEVER / KEEP with its sub-kind) under the who-benefits test; the per-site
manifests are on the PR. The rejected designs, tested-and-rejected fixtures, measurements and
traps stay; the attribution of who found them and the round in which they were found go.

The detector's population grows to `.claude/`, `.gitea/`, `.husky/` and `scripts/` regardless
of extension, minus the detector and its own test (whose fixtures ARE the phrasings) and minus
`scripts/tests/fixtures/` (test data, including decision-record copies — the same reasoning as
the records' own exemption, and what keeps the record's depth measurement true), and `--all`
lists tracked REGULAR files only — a symlink's content is its target and a gitlink has none. The #812
argument for leaving `docs/superpowers/**` in the population runs the other way here: `--diff`
sees only ADDED lines, and 287 of the 453 sites were under 30 days old — this corpus is where
narrative is being added, so the advisory nudge has reach. Density agrees: 56 line-mode hits over
the 113 regular files the predicate admits, against 9 over 66 docs files before #812. `web/` and C# stay out on the same
measurement (3 of 74 PATTERNS-matching sites, ~4,600 files). The predicate did not grow: PATTERNS
matched 74 of 453 sites, and widening the word list to the attribution class is the treadmill
the withdrawn parity test ran on. The population oracle is restated over segments with the new
arms, the synthetic cross product gains the process heads and non-markdown extensions, a fixture
witnesses that a tracked symlink is neither scanned nor counted, a `.py.bak` axis separates a
by-name exemption from a `startswith` over the same tuple, and eight mutants (drop the process
arm, drop the by-name exemption, exempt by `startswith`, drop or add a prefix, drop the fixtures
exemption, list only markdown, drop the symlink filter, test the mode per row instead of per
path) each
redden it. A pre-existing silent drop in `--diff` goes with it: git tab-terminates a `+++`
filename that contains a space, and the kept tab made `is_scanned_path` refuse the file with no
notice — fixed, with a positive control and its own mutant.

Code is unchanged by construction, measured per file type against `origin/main`: Python modules
are AST-equal with docstrings stripped, except `#` lines inside the embedded fixture programs
(string literals) of three test modules; workflows differ only in `#` lines inside `run:` block
scalars; shell, C#, TypeScript and jq are equal with comment lines stripped. The stated
exceptions: the detector and its test, 26 vitest titles that carried review-round or severity
labels or a reviewer attribution (call sites whose title changed — every changed title line
walked back to its `it(` / `it.each(...)(` anchor, so a `' + '` concatenation counts once), two
registry note strings and the mutation manifest's prose fields. scripts/tests: 1565 passed.
Web: lint, typecheck, 1319 tests green. Closes #876.

Round-five review confirmed the decision record is coherent with no third
survivor of the empty reading, and returned three LOW findings. All are in
prose I wrote in the last two commits.

- The comment defending `(IsAbstract && !IsSealed)` cited
  AlternateScheduleSelectorTests as an in-repo static-fixture witness. That
  class IS static, but it merely NESTS its [TestFixture]es and declares no test
  of its own, so it would fail the sibling "declares no runnable test" assertion
  rather than demonstrating the point. The rule is right and the witness was
  wrong, which is the worse of the two failures because a wrong example is what
  a reader checks the rule against. No witness is cited now, and why is stated.

- A mis-bound `because` in `rule:`: "assigning a null and calling SaveChanges
  SUCCEEDS ... because only the HTTP request records normalize with `?? []`".
  The `?? []` clause explains how a null could REACH the entity; what makes the
  save succeed is the column being nullable. A right observation with a wrong
  cause attached. Split into the two claims.

- `signals:` carried the literal token `paths:` twice, an artifact of appending
  the #823 path list to the existing one. It degrades the field the discovery
  surface parses.

Also recorded from that review, and NOT changed: `MonthsOfYear ?? AllDaysOfMonth()`
survives the selector fixture and no date can kill it -- 1..31 contains every
valid month, so it is an EQUIVALENT mutant there rather than a coverage gap.
Its non-equivalent twin at the DTO boundary is pinned per-dimension by
RecurrenceLimitsMapperNullTests. Left alone deliberately: chasing an equivalent
mutant with a contrived date would buy nothing and cost the fixture's
readability.

Local gate: ErsatzTV.Tests 2091 passed / 6 skipped, Core.Tests 697/1 -- 0
failures. Format clean, no BOM. decisions_validate OK.

Round-four review. One HIGH, again in the decision record, and the previous
commit message asserted this exact class was cleared. It was not.

THE HIGH, and the reason it recurred.

A second sentence still described the rejected reading: "The guard form is
`?? []` into a local rather than this record's Optional(x).Flatten(), a STATED
deviation". The shipped guard is `?? AllDaysOfWeek()`. That sentence is the one
that dictates guard FORM to the next implementer, so it would have taught the
`[]` reading the same record spends a paragraph calling data corruption -- and
it had already propagated into docs/decisions/README.md, the mandated entry
point, which carries `rule:` verbatim.

The mechanism, not the sentence, is the defect. I swept with a regex keyed on
"null" plus a reading word; this sentence talks about guard FORM and contains
neither, so it could not match. That is grepping the retracted WORDING instead
of sweeping the CONCEPT, which is exactly what this corpus warns about -- and
three rounds in a row have now found a defect introduced by the previous
round's targeted string edit. So the fix is not another targeted edit: the
whole `rule:` field was split into its 39 sentences and read back one by one
against the code. Everything below came out of that pass rather than a grep.

Its secondary damage is worth recording because it is the shape of a rationale
that outlives its claim: the deviation was justified by ".ToList() allocates
for nothing", which is now BOTH irrelevant to the choice AND false about the
shipped code, since AllDaysOfMonth()/AllMonthsOfYear() are themselves
Enumerable.Range(...).ToList() on exactly the null path it describes.

- The opening sentence of `rule:` prescribed Optional(x).Flatten() as THE
  read-site form. It is the sentence most likely to be read in isolation, and
  it is wrong for six of the eight columns. It now separates the universal half
  (a LOCAL, never assigned back) from the half that is not (the substituted
  value), and names where each applies.
- `signals:` had never been touched, so roughly 60% of `rule:` was unreachable
  by the discovery surface built for it -- no AlternateScheduleSelector, no
  mapper, no "unrestricted", and its paths: list named none of the files this
  work touched. It also advertised "Optional Flatten hoisted local" as the
  form, which is precisely what the six do NOT use.
- The body prose was still entirely about SongMetadata while `rule:` had grown
  a whole second subject. Added the two results that contradicted the prior
  reasoning, in prose, where a reader meets them.

A REAL BUG in my own guard, not just prose:

  fixture.IsAbstract.ShouldBeFalse(...)

A C# `static class` compiles to `abstract sealed`, and NUnit runs tests
declared in one -- this repo already has such a fixture
(AlternateScheduleSelectorTests is `public static class`). So the check I added
one commit ago to reject an un-runnable fixture would have falsely reddened a
perfectly good static one. Now rejects an abstract BASE (abstract and NOT
sealed), which is the case NUnit actually cannot instantiate.

A SURVIVING MUTANT the added controls did not kill:

AnyDate was 2024-03-06. With a day <= 12 a CROSS-WIRED substitution survives
the whole fixture -- `DaysOfMonth ?? AllMonthsOfYear()` hands back 1..12, which
still contains day 6, so every assertion passes while the guard substitutes the
wrong set. Moved to 2024-03-20, still a Wednesday in March, outside 1..12.
Measured both ways rather than reasoned: the cross-wire mutant passes the old
fixture and FAILS 2 of 11 on the new one.

Also re-witnessed, because I had modified that file and never re-proved it:
restoring `??=` in LuceneSearchIndex reddens the LUCENE fixture (1 red, 1
green) -- the exact mirror of the Elastic mutation. Extracting
ThrowOnWarningLogger did not cost #701 its proof, and the two fixtures are
independently load-bearing in both directions.

The record is now 73 prose lines, over the 60-line WARNING ceiling. Stated
rather than trimmed: it is 42nd of 42 records over that line, and the added
content is distinct findings (a second subject, a migration analysis and three
residuals), not redundancy against a sibling.

Local gate: ErsatzTV.Tests 2091 passed / 6 skipped (the three fixtures' MySQL
halves), Core.Tests 697/1 -- 0 failures. Format clean, no BOM. decisions
validate OK.

Round-three review findings. One HIGH, and it was in the durable artifact
rather than the code.

THE HIGH: the record stated the shipped reading and its inverse.

The semantic reversal (empty -> unrestricted) rewrote the residual and the
write-half of `media.nullable-primitive-collection-mutation` but left the
ORIGINAL reasoning standing two sentences earlier: "A null reads as EMPTY, so
the item matches nothing"; "the REJECTED alternative was the All*() set";
"SKIPPING the row is the conservative repair". The shipped code is
`?? AllDaysOfWeek()` -- precisely the alternative that passage calls rejected.
The previous commit then inserted residual (1), which reasons entirely FROM
the All*() reading, two sentences after the sentence denying it.

That is worse than a stale comment. A session resolving this key -- or reading
the MemPalace mirror, which carries `rule:` verbatim -- would have been told to
write the guard the other way, i.e. talked into the `[]` reading that the same
record elsewhere argues is data corruption one save later. Replaced the whole
passage, then swept the record for every other mention of the empty reading
rather than trusting the one replacement: the only survivor is the new sentence
that records EMPTY as the rejected alternative, which is the direction that
stops it being re-adopted.

THE MEDIUM: one arrangement did not close the hole it claimed to.

The discriminating control added last commit nulls DaysOfWeek against a
restrictive MonthsOfYear. It excludes "any NULL matches unconditionally" only
for that dimension. The review supplied the surviving mutant --
`if (item.MonthsOfYear is null) { return item; }` ahead of the checks -- and
traced it green through all nine tests. Verified by EXECUTION, not by reading:
applied to the previous fixture it passes; applied now it FAILS 1 of 11. Each
of the three dimensions is now nulled against a restriction on a different
dimension.

The rest, all from the same round:

- The coverage guard's test detection listed attribute TYPES, and each list
  falsely reddened whatever it omitted: TestAttribute alone missed [TestCase],
  and the three-type replacement missed [Theory]. Now decided by NUnit's own
  ITestBuilder/ISimpleTestBuilder interfaces, which cannot fall behind the
  vocabulary. It also dropped BindingFlags.Static (GetMethods() defaults to
  including it), which would have falsely reddened a static test method.
- The same guard accepted an ABSTRACT fixture -- NUnit never instantiates one.
  The indexer population already filtered IsAbstract; the fixture side now
  mirrors it.
- The record's `mechanics:` still described the old `[Test]`-only clause, in
  the same file the change edited.
- An <inheritdoc> made the ProgramScheduleAlternate empty-case test inherit a
  docstring written from the PlayoutTemplate test's viewpoint.

Two more mutations executed:
- `if (item.MonthsOfYear is null) return item;` -> 1 red, 10 green. This is the
  mutant that survived the previous head; it no longer does.
- an abstract type named in the covered set -> coverage guard red.

Local gate: ErsatzTV.Tests 2091 passed / 6 skipped (the three fixtures' MySQL
halves, skipping visibly without ETV_TEST_MYSQL_CONNECTION), Core.Tests 697/1
-- 0 failures. Format clean, no BOM on the touched set. decisions_validate OK.

Follow-up commit (the branch is pushed, so not an amend). Two more cold
reviews landed on the previous head; both reported 0 Blocker and 0 High, and
these are their Mediums and Lows. Each fix carries its own witnessed mutation.

1. The selector fixture could not tell the fix from a much broader one.
   Every null test set a NULL and expected the item SELECTED, so all of them
   pass equally under "NULL means unrestricted" and under "any NULL makes this
   item match unconditionally" -- a refactor short-circuiting the whole date
   check on any null kept them green. Added the discriminating control: a NULL
   DaysOfWeek paired with MonthsOfYear = [1] against a MARCH date must be None.
   Only the narrow reading passes.

2. A_Null_Item_Does_Not_Disturb_Selection_Of_A_Later_Item never measured its
   own docstring. The nulled item was unrestricted and at Index 0, so it always
   won and the second item was never evaluated -- the stated invariant ("a null
   on the first item must not decide the second") went unmeasured while the
   test passed. Split into two: one where the nulled item genuinely does not
   match, which measures that the loop CONTINUES; and one that pins the
   index-order win separately.

3. The empty-preservation control existed for one of two identical mappers.
   The anti-mutant test for "empty or null becomes All*" covered only
   Playouts.Mapper; Scheduling.Mapper is a byte-identical triple in another
   file and had none, so a defensive edit to it alone would have rewritten a
   deliberately-empty user selection to 1..31 with the suite green. That is the
   one-helper-two-callers shape this repo has been bitten by. Added the
   matching test.

4. The coverage guard's [Test] clause did not check what its message claimed.
   GetMethods() without BindingFlags returns INHERITED methods, so a fixture
   that merely subclasses another satisfied it while driving the wrong indexer
   -- and Values.Distinct() cannot catch that, since the two Types differ. It
   also matched TestAttribute alone, so a future fixture written as [TestCase]
   would have falsely reddened, and it accepted an [Explicit]/[Ignore]d fixture
   that never runs, which is the "wired is not running" failure the guard
   exists to prevent. Now DeclaredOnly, the full test-method vocabulary, and
   Explicit/Ignore rejected at both method and fixture level.

5. Three residuals recorded on media.nullable-primitive-collection-mutation
   that the previous head asserted nothing about:
   - the LOUDNESS change, worst for an all-three-NULL ProgramScheduleAlternate,
     which now matches unconditionally and shadows the default schedule where
     it previously threw. Unreachable today, and a choice over an unreachable
     state rather than a measured requirement -- said plainly.
   - the normalization is ONE-WAY and WHOLE-LIST: both PUT paths are full
     replaces, so editing any row persists All*() over EVERY NULL row in that
     playout, and afterwards "the operator selected all 31" and "this is a
     legacy row" are indistinguishable. An ordinary user action closes that
     door.
   - the WRITE side disagrees with the READ side about what ABSENCE means: an
     omitted daysOfWeek normalizes to [] ("never applies") while a NULL column
     reads as unrestricted, so an API client gets HTTP 200 and a row that
     silently never fires. Filed as #880 rather than folded in here, because a
     client omitting a field on a write is a different question from what a
     legacy NULL meant.

Two more mutations executed, both witnessed:
- DaysOfWeek guard disarmed in Scheduling.Mapper -> 1 red, 3 green.
- A fixture with no DECLARED test named in the covered set -> coverage red.

Local gate (MySQL lane armed): ErsatzTV.Tests 2097 passed / 0 skipped,
Core.Tests 695/1 -- 0 failures. Format clean, no BOM on the touched set with
the population count asserted. decisions_validate OK.

Both issues are #701 deferrals, and they land together because both rewrite
the same decision record.

#823 -- can a null reach one of the six collection-valued scalar columns?

MEASURED against a real TvContext on BOTH providers (SQLite, and MySQL 8.4
on an ephemeral server), because the reasoning available beforehand pointed
the wrong way. The two converters differ on their read side --
IntCollectionValueConverter maps null-or-blank to Array.Empty<int>(), while
EnumCollectionJsonValueConverter would dereference the result of
JsonConvert.DeserializeObject -- so the expectation was that a NULL row
behaves differently per column. NEITHER RUNS: EF does not invoke a value
converter for a NULL column at all. All six materialize as CLR null, the
int converter's null-to-empty branch is dead on this path, and unguarded
each .Contains in AlternateScheduleSelector throws NullReferenceException.

A NULL reads as UNRESTRICTED -- the All*() sets -- not as empty. This is
the whole semantic question and the first draft got it backwards. It is
decided by the one NULL reachable WITHOUT any code writing one: Sqlite's
20240113140741_Add_PlayoutTemplate_DaysOfMonth adds the column with
nullable:true and NO defaultValue, so a PlayoutTemplate row inserted before
it holds NULL and by construction had no day-of-month restriction. Reading
that as empty INVERTS the row's meaning and silently stops the template
applying at all. All*() preserves it, and is how "no restriction recorded"
is already represented (GetPlayoutAlternateSchedulesHandler,
PreviewBlockPlayoutHandler). What does NOT decide it, and was wrongly cited
in the first draft: the API request records normalize an omitted field with
`?? []`, but that is a client omitting a field on a WRITE and says nothing
about what a legacy database NULL meant.

Two read sites, not one. Guarding only the selector would have left the
entity->DTO mappers unguarded, and those feed the SPA: PlayoutScheduleEditors
spreads the collection (`[...template.daysOfMonth]` -> TypeError on a JSON
null) and playoutTemplateCalendar's appliesToDate -- an exact port of
GetScheduleForDate -- calls .includes on it. Both mappers now substitute the
SAME defaults, so the preview agrees with what is actually scheduled. Neither
guard is assigned back onto the entity, which is the
media.nullable-primitive-collection-mutation mechanism.

Reachability, stated precisely rather than overclaimed. All six are
nullable:true on both providers, but a nullable column does not produce a
NULL row: five of the six were present at CreateTable, so a NULL there still
needs code to write one, and on MySQL there is NO code-path-free NULL for any
of the six. The write path ACCEPTS a null (SaveChanges succeeds, stores SQL
NULL) but no caller supplies one today -- every production construction of the
two commands goes through the request records. That is a property of the code,
not a live caller; claiming otherwise would be the banned "it's AsNoTracking
today" argument pointed the other way.

#824 -- ElasticSearchIndex.UpdateSong had no regression test

Issue option 1 (a non-network transport) shipped, and needed no new package:
Elastic.Transport.InMemoryRequestInvoker is public in the pinned version and
ElasticsearchClientSettings(NodePool, IRequestInvoker) accepts it, injected
into the private _client the way #701 injects the Lucene IndexWriter.
UpdateItems never runs `_client ??= CreateClient()`, so the injected instance
is the one used.

Two traps there are load-bearing, both measured: the canned response must
carry an `X-Elastic-Product: Elasticsearch` header or the client's product
check throws UnsupportedProductException INTO UpdateSong's catch, and an empty
body fails to deserialize the same way. Either turns the fixture into a green
measurement of the error path -- which is how it first failed here, caught by
the ThrowOnWarningLogger. The document id is asserted as the LAST PATH SEGMENT,
not by substring: the index name carries digits, so ShouldContain would stop
discriminating for a song whose id collided with one.

Six mutations executed, each disarming ITS OWN clause alone:

- `??=` restored in ElasticSearchIndex only -> the Elastic fixture reddens on
  "metadata.Artists should be null but was []" while the LUCENE fixture stays
  GREEN. The #824 hole demonstrated, not described.
- DaysOfWeek guard disarmed in the selector -> 4 red, 3 green (DaysOfMonth and
  MonthsOfYear unaffected). Each clause is independently load-bearing.
- DaysOfMonth guard disarmed in Playouts.Mapper -> 1 red, 2 green.
- Elastic dropped from the covered set / mapped to the SAME fixture as Lucene /
  mapped to a class with no [Test] -> SearchIndexMutationCoverageTests reddens
  on each.

That coverage guard is the boundary fix the issue asked for: the covered set is
compared against an ISearchIndex population DERIVED FROM THE ASSEMBLY. Its claim
stops where the check does -- no static check can establish that a named fixture
actually DRIVES its indexer, so it forces a human to look rather than proving
coverage. ThrowOnWarningLogger moved to ErsatzTV.Tests/Support so both fixtures
share it; the Lucene fixture's assertions are otherwise untouched, since it is a
witnessed proof artifact.

No production change in ElasticSearchIndex.cs -- #824 is coverage only.

Docs: testing.md gains a "Provider-parity fixtures" section naming all THREE
opt-in-MySQL fixtures and recording that CI runs none of them (#627);
docs/README.md gains the matching task signal; guard-inventory.md's
hand-written C# guard list goes from five files to six. Scheduling/Mapper.cs
loses the UTF-8 BOM it inherited, per #311 fix-as-you-touch.

Local gate (with the MySQL lane armed): ErsatzTV.Tests 2096 passed / 0 skipped,
Core.Tests 693/1, Infrastructure.Tests 114, Architecture.Tests 7, Scanner.Tests
1504 -- 0 failures in each. scripts/tests 1228 passed / 2 skipped. dotnet format
whitespace --verify-no-changes clean; BOM check over the touched set with the
population COUNT asserted, because a bare zsh loop silently checks one
concatenated filename. decisions_validate OK.

Both search indexers opened UpdateSong with

    metadata.AlbumArtists ??= [];
    metadata.Artists ??= [];

Artists/AlbumArtists hold the whole list in ONE COLUMN rather than
being navigations. So unlike the same `??= []` idiom on
Genres/Tags/Artwork all around them, the property IS the column value:
assigning it on a TRACKED entity flips the entry to Modified and the
next SaveChanges writes [] over a NULL column. This is the mechanism an
adversarial review demonstrated in #691, which is why that issue's
entity-level guard was reverted in favour of guarding at the read site.

Measured rather than reasoned about, per the issue's first done-when
box. Restoring ONLY the `??= []` clause (the real predecessor lines,
not a hand-written mutant) reddens the new fixture on
`metadata.Artists should be null but was []`; a probe variant with the
first two assertions replaced by prints reports STATE=Modified and the
raw column moving from NULL to "[]". Today's two feeds are both
AsNoTracking (SearchRepository.GetItemToIndex and GetAllSongs), so no
shipped caller loses data -- but that is a property of two callers, not
of the indexer, and #691 already recorded it as a loaded gun. The
fixture pins the indexer's own contract instead.

Removing the assignment is not sufficient alone: it was load-bearing
for the four reads below it, and deleting it by itself converts a
silent write into a live throw on every untagged song. Measured by
deleting only those two lines from the real predecessor file:
NullReferenceException, thrown at the foreach (cited by symbol: a line
number in a mutant that exists in no committed tree is unreproducible
by construction). The
exception type follows the read FORM, not the field -- foreach yields
NRE, string.Join/ToList yield ArgumentNullException -- and this PR
contains two of each, which is why no single exception-name grep
characterises the class. So each site moves together with its reads:

- LuceneSearchIndex.UpdateSong / ElasticSearchIndex.UpdateSong: hoist
  Optional(...).Flatten().ToList() locals and read those.
- RefreshChannelDataHandler: the Scriban context took the raw nullable
  lists (the issue's second item). The shipped _song.sbntxt only does
  array.join, but a custom template is free to do anything.

The population was derived from the MODEL rather than from the issue's
file list, and the obvious derivation is wrong: "the IList<string>
properties under ErsatzTV.Core/Domain" returns two of eight. It misses
the six value-converted collections (ProgramScheduleAlternate and
PlayoutTemplate each carrying DaysOfMonth, MonthsOfYear, DaysOfWeek),
declared as plain ICollection<T> and made single columns only in
Data/Configurations -- and their storage differs (comma-separated text
for the int converter, JSON for the enum one), so the shared property
is "one scalar column", not the serialization. No site applies `??=`
to any of the six, so this defect has no instance there; whether a null
can REACH one at runtime is unverified and is filed as #823 rather than
asserted either way. Only the SongMetadata pair is left NULL in
practice, by FallbackMetadataProvider. Every site touching either field
was then swept; the remaining readers were already guarded by #691.

The fixture carries two anti-vacuity guards, both witnessed:

- A POSITIVE CONTROL (`writer.NumDocs.ShouldBe(1)`). Every other
  assertion says something did NOT happen, so all of them hold
  vacuously if UpdateSong never runs -- and it silently stops running
  if a future refactor gates UpdateItems on `_initialized`, which this
  fixture bypasses by injecting the writer. Verified BOTH directions:
  with that gate added the control fails `NumDocs should be 1 but was
  0`, and with the control removed the whole test PASSES while the code
  under test is unreachable.
- A capturing logger, because UpdateSong wraps its body in a catch that
  assigns metadata.Song = null -- severing a required relationship and
  cascading the metadata to Deleted. Without it the probe silently
  measures the error path; on the first run it did exactly that (a bare
  ILanguageCodeService substitute NPEs inside AddLanguages). The raw
  column helper also fails loudly on a missing row, since ExecuteScalar
  returns CLR null for both "NULL column" and "no such row".

ElasticSearchIndex has no equivalent fixture -- it needs a stubbed
transport -- so its change is by inspection against the Lucene one, and
the gap is filed as #824 rather than covered by a source-text guard.

The whitespace-only churn in ElasticSearchIndex.cs is the #311
fix-as-you-touch format gate: it scopes to whole changed FILES.
`git diff -w` over that file shows only the two hunks above.

Local gate: ErsatzTV.Tests 2006 passed / 4 pre-existing skips,
Core.Tests 685/1 skip, Infrastructure.Tests 114, Architecture.Tests 7,
Scanner.Tests 1504 -- 0 failures in each. scripts/tests 874 passed / 2
skipped. dotnet format whitespace --verify-no-changes clean on the four
touched files, no BOM on any. decisions_validate OK.

Final sweep confirmed the retracted MySQL over-match claim survives in no file
on the branch (only in two immutable commit messages, which stay -- rewriting
history would invalidate every sha-bound review verdict). Three nits remained.

- The fixture's class docstring said the on-MySQL claim "rests on the server's
  collation", which is the one thing the decision record says it does NOT rest
  on. It rests on Unicode-aware LOWER(); the executed comparison bypasses the
  collation entirely. Reworded.
- The record's `rule:` enumerated the covered fields but omitted show_genre,
  which GetSource and the fold both handle ("genre" or "show_genre"). Added.
- My own #688 write-up was wrong twice: the 60-line ceiling warning is
  NON-blocking by design, and the calibration pytest reds at >=61, not >=60 --
  main's p90 is 59, so a 60-line record makes p90 == ceiling and PASSES. The
  bullet even contradicted itself, since the next sentence relies on 60 passing.
  Corrected in the PR body and in the issue.

Round 3 said "correct the claim everywhere" and missed two places, which is
the same mistake in a new coat: I fixed the spots I remembered instead of
grepping for the subject.

- The class-level summary of the very file round 3 edited still said MySQL's
  "ci collation OVER-matches instead", contradicting the method docstring
  forty lines below it. Reworded.
- The PR body still carried the retracted over-match story -- and round 3's
  commit message claimed it had been corrected. It had not. Now corrected,
  with the measurement table and the retraction stated openly.

This time the sweep was `grep -i over-match` across every file the branch
touches; the remaining hits are the SQLite-fold invariant and #578 history,
which are correct and stay.

Also softened two overclaims the reviewer flagged. Round 3 deleted the
predecessor's "configuration-incidental, not designed" hedge and replaced it
with a firmer statement than the evidence supports: that MySQL cannot
over-match is contingent on MySqlConnector fixing the connection collation to
utf8mb4_bin, not a property of MySQL. A driver, protocol or prepared-statement
change could restore it. The record and the fixture docstring now say
"driver-contingent, not a law"; the code is safe either way because the ordinal
filter stays regardless.

Filed #689 for the source of the copied falsehood -- LibraryFolderDedupeMigrationTests
on main carries the same "CI sets ETV_REQUIRE_MYSQL_TESTS=1" sentence.

Review BLOCKED on a false CI claim I copied from the sibling fixture ("CI sets
ETV_REQUIRE_MYSQL_TESTS=1"). Nothing sets it; the doc now says plainly that CI
does not arm this lane and points at ersatztv#627. That was the blocker.

Chasing the reviewer's second finding then overturned something bigger. It
predicted that seeding an unaccented "Edith" would make the in-memory ordinal
filter load-bearing on MySQL, since utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci treats é as e. Mutation
test says otherwise: with the filter deleted the MySQL test stays GREEN.

Measured against a live 8.4 to find out why:

    LOWER(Name) LIKE 'é%'          (literal)          -> Édith AND Edith
    LOWER(Name) LIKE @v            (ai_ci variable)   -> Édith AND Edith
    LOWER(Name) LIKE @v COLLATE _bin                  -> Édith only
    the EF query, executed                            -> Édith only

The driver binds the pattern with a BINARY collation, so the executed
comparison is accent-SENSITIVE and MySQL does not over-match at all. MySQL's
correctness rests on its Unicode-aware LOWER(), not on the collation.

My earlier probe used a LITERAL pattern -- a different query from the one the
code runs -- and I wrote its result into the handler comment, the decision
record and the PR body. All three now say what actually happens, and the record
carries the lesson: measure the query the CODE runs, not one you type.

The "Edith" row stays as a near-miss control, with a docstring that says what it
does and does not prove rather than the over-match story it was added for.

Also moved EnsureCreatedAsync out of [SetUp]: NUnit skips [TearDown] when
[SetUp] throws, so a mid-create failure would strand the database.

The PR's central claim is "reachable on BOTH providers", and on MySQL that
rests on the server's collation rather than on any code this repo owns --
exactly the kind of assumption worth executing rather than asserting.

Adds SearchFieldValuesProviderTests, parameterized over Sqlite and MySql on
the LibraryFolderDedupeMigrationTests contract: opt-in via
ETV_TEST_MYSQL_CONNECTION, a VISIBLE skip without it, and a hard failure
instead of a skip when ETV_REQUIRE_MYSQL_TESTS is set, so the lane cannot
degrade into "connected to nothing and passed". Fresh never-reused database
per test, dropped with its pool cleared.

Verified for real, not just written: run against a live mysql:8.4 it reports
4 passed / 0 skipped and the stored 'Édith' is returned for both q=é and q=É.
Without the connection string it skips (2 skipped); with REQUIRE set and no
connection it FAILS. All three paths exercised.

The MySql half wires RegisterUnicodeCaseFunctions to an explicit no-op, so the
test proves MySQL reaches the value through its own Unicode-aware LOWER() and
not through SQLite's custom fold.

Known and deliberate: CI does NOT arm this lane, so it will skip there. Per the
note in docker-build.yml, running MySQL fixtures against the live service was
implemented and removed as non-deterministic (ersatztv#627) on the grounds that
an intermittently-red gate is worse than none. Re-arming it is that issue's job,
not this PR's -- so this fixture is opt-in exactly like its sibling.

timothy 04ea2abb40 test(491): restore per-test databases; keep the pool clear (fixture determinism)
Second CI failure of this fixture, and my previous fix caused it: collapsing to
one shared database traded isolation for a wipe that has to succeed, and when it
silently did not, the second test seeded onto the first's rows and failed with
'Duplicate entry 1 for key LibraryPath.PRIMARY' in 539ms - too fast to have
re-run the migration chain, i.e. MigrateAsync no-opped against an already-current
__EFMigrationsHistory.

The coordinator's read was right and I verified it rather than assuming: the leak
came from never clearing pools, not from names being unique. Harness against a
real 8.4 server, unique database name per iteration WITH ClearPoolAsync on that
connection string: 0 leaked threads over 30 iterations. So isolation costs
nothing and the shared name was solving a problem pool-clearing already solved.

Restore a fresh etv491_<guid> database per test, never created out of band (the
test's own MigrateAsync(PreviousMigration) creates it, keeping EF the single
owner of the schema), dropped in TearDown via the guarded EnsureDeletedAsync and
followed by ClearPoolAsync on that exact connection string. The stale-session
hazard from the first failure needs the connection string to be REUSED after the
drop, which a never-repeated name makes impossible; clearing the pool is the belt
to that brace and closes the leak.

Verified: 10 consecutive runs 10/10 green, server threads flat at 2 and zero
leftover schemas throughout; each test run ALONE twice; both tests with the order
REVERSED - order-independence being the evidence this failure would have needed,
since contamination is invisible when a test runs first. Negative control
re-confirmed after the change: restoring COLLATE utf8mb4_bin still fails with
survivors [1,4,5,6,7,9] vs [1,4,5,6,7,9,10], then restored and green again.

No Retry anywhere. One shared fixture body across providers; still fail-closed
under ETV_REQUIRE_MYSQL_TESTS.

timothy cdb67e26f2 test(491): make the MySql dedupe fixture deterministic (pool + database lifetime)
The new MySql coverage failed intermittently in CI with 'Unknown database
etv491_...' at connect time, and passed on the immediately preceding commit -
a latent race in the fixture, not a regression. Diagnosed against a real 8.4
server rather than by inspection; two measured mechanisms:

1. A pooled session outlives DROP DATABASE. Reopening the dropped database's
   connection string SUCCEEDS, because MySqlConnector hands back the still-alive
   session whose default schema no longer exists. Whether a caller sees success
   or 1049 then depends on whether the pool reuses that session or opens a fresh
   one - a fresh handshake names the dropped schema and fails. That is the
   non-determinism, and it is invisible in any single green run.
2. A per-test database name leaks a pool per test. MySqlConnector keys pools by
   connection string, so each test built a new pool that was never cleared,
   leaking ~1 server thread per iteration (measured); hammering it exhausted
   max_connections outright, and a saturated server also inflated this fixture
   from ~1m20s to 13 minutes.

Fix is structural, not a retry: ONE fixed database name (hence one pool), EF owns
the lifecycle via EnsureDeletedAsync (guarded, unlike a raw DROP), the pool is
cleared after every drop, and the drop moves to the START of a test so no test
leaves a live pool pointing at a database it just destroyed. ServerVersion is
resolved once per SetUp instead of twice.

Determinism verified: 10 consecutive runs, 10/10 green, server threads flat at 2
throughout. Negative control re-confirmed after the change - restoring COLLATE
utf8mb4_bin still fails with survivors [1,4,5,6,7,9] vs [1,4,5,6,7,9,10].
Both providers still share one fixture body; still fail-closed under
ETV_REQUIRE_MYSQL_TESTS.

timothy 83cd36e0de test(491): run the dedupe fixture against MySql in CI; correct the collation claim
The dedupe DML had zero automated coverage on MySql: the migrations job only
applies migrations to a fresh EMPTY database, so no dedupe row ever executed
there. Two MySql-only collation defects escaped that gate in this session and
were caught only by hand-run containers.

Parameterize LibraryFolderDedupeMigrationTests over both providers from ONE
fixture body - same seeded rows, same expected survivors - rather than adding a
MySql-only copy that would drift and recreate the gap. Assertions no longer use
WHERE Path = '...', which is itself collation-dependent and would quietly mean
something different per provider; rows are read once and compared ordinally in
memory. A new step in the existing migrations job runs it against that job's
mysql:8.4 service, on a per-test database of its own.

Proven red when the collation is wrong: restoring COLLATE utf8mb4_bin fails the
MySql half with survivors [1,4,5,6,7,9] - the trailing-space sibling deleted -
while SQLite stays green. Proven non-skippable: without
ETV_TEST_MYSQL_CONNECTION the fixture ignores visibly, and with
ETV_REQUIRE_MYSQL_TESTS=1 (which CI sets) that skip becomes a hard failure, so
it cannot pass having connected to nothing. Local runs need no MySql.

Also correct an overstated comment. The schema pins only the utf8mb4 charset,
never a collation, so the effective comparison is the server default: always
case-insensitive, but PAD SPACE only on utf8mb4_general_ci - 8.4's default
utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci is NO PAD, verified on the real column. The migration bug was
independent of that because the old code applied an EXPLICIT utf8mb4_bin, which
is PAD SPACE everywhere; the runtime simply tolerates both.

timothy 48d41b9235 fix(491): make the MySql dedupe byte-exact, not just case-exact (PAD SPACE)
Cross-family review of 1b4dd6d6 found that utf8mb4_bin - chosen to keep the
dedupe case-exact - is a PAD SPACE collation, so trailing spaces are
insignificant under it. Verified on MySQL 8.4: '/media/Foo' = '/media/Foo ' is
TRUE, while case correctly compares unequal. Two distinct legal directories
therefore grouped together and the second was DELETED irreversibly, even though
PathUtils.GetPathHash hashes them differently and the unique index about to be
created would have accepted both. The dedupe destroyed data the constraint
never required it to destroy.

Group and join on CONVERT(Path USING binary) instead - NO PAD and byte-exact,
matching the hash. utf8mb4_0900_bin is also NO PAD but carries a server-version
floor. This is the only path comparison in either migration (every other
predicate keys off an integer id), so there is no mix of padded and unpadded
comparisons across the keeper-selection, repoint and delete steps.

SQLite's = on TEXT is byte-exact with no padding, so that migration was already
correct - which is exactly why a SQLite-only test could not see the divergence.
The two providers are now semantically equivalent, and the dedupe fixture is
shared: same rows, same expected survivors (1,4,5,6,7,9,10), asserted by the
SQLite test and reproduced by hand on MySQL 8.4.

Runtime was never affected, and this is now stated and tested rather than
assumed: GetFolder's SQL equality is a superset narrowing (both collation quirks
make it more permissive, never less, so it cannot miss a byte-exact match) and
ResolveExact settles identity with StringComparison.Ordinal, which compares
length first. Added ResolveExact coverage for the trailing-space axis.

it. Admit it in the filter.

unit-test it with both spellings in the candidate list. No SQLite-backed test
can exercise it (SQLite's = on TEXT is already binary), so this converts the
half that rested on hand-run MySQL evidence into automated coverage. The
end-to-end companion test's comment no longer claims to be provider-independent.

L4: assert PRAGMA foreign_keys is 1 before migrating, so the enforcement guard
cannot silently degrade into the weak pre-fix form it was added to replace.

L3: detach the failed heal, matching the insert path.
N3: the heal's inner predicate now matches its IsNullOrEmpty outer guard, so a
PathHash = '' row cannot enter the branch and silently never heal.
N4: record that GetFolder returning null for a case-differing spelling makes
MySQL insert a second row where it used to reuse one — correct, and now matching
SQLite, but a real behaviour change on a case-insensitive filesystem.

timothy 14e9b03433 fix(491): wire the unique-violation classifier in the scanner; make folder lookup case-exact
Review of 491f5099 found the fix inert in the only process that runs it, plus
a MySQL collation defect in the lookup.

B1 — TvContext.IsUniqueConstraintViolation was assigned only in ErsatzTV/
Startup.cs, but ErsatzTV.Scanner is a separate executable and every production
caller of GetOrAddFolder/SetEtag lives there. The classifier kept its '_ =>
false' default, so the catch never ran and the DbUpdateException failed the
whole scan - worse than the duplicate row it replaced. Wire both provider
branches in ErsatzTV.Scanner/Program.cs, and add ProviderStaticsWiringTests
(architecture) asserting the scanner assigns every TvContext static the host
assigns, with IsSqlite documented as the one exemption.

H1 — GetFolder's 'Path == folder' is case-insensitive on MySQL while PathHash
is case-sensitive, and FirstOrDefault was unordered: a scan of '/x/foo' could
resolve the '/x/Foo' row and stamp the wrong hash onto it (verified on MySQL
8.4: the WHERE matches both, LIMIT 1 returns the wrong one). Treat the SQL
equality as a narrowing filter, order by Id, and settle identity ordinally.
Route the heal through EF and drop a classified violation, so an opportunistic
maintenance write can never abort a scan.

Also: run the dedupe migration test with foreign keys ON (matching prod), clear
the keeper's etag, null out a self-parent, and document the cleanup's limits
(NULL paths excluded, Down does not restore deleted rows, CI's fresh-DB apply
covers none of the data mutation).

timothy 9a4f3e832d fix(491): unique index on LibraryFolder(LibraryPathId, PathHash) + tolerate concurrent insert
GetOrAddFolder was a check-then-insert with no unique constraint behind it,
so two callers racing the same folder could both miss the lookup and both
insert. Enforce identity in the schema and make the loser adopt the winner.

- LibraryFolder gains a SHA-256 PathHash (the MediaFile.Path/PathHash
  precedent): Path is MySQL longtext, which cannot be indexed without a
  prefix length and collates case-insensitively, so the unique index is on
  (LibraryPathId, PathHash) instead.
- GetOrAddFolder and SetEtag catch a classified unique violation via the
  existing TvContext.IsUniqueConstraintViolation seam (#308) and re-read.
- Dual-provider migration audits and collapses pre-existing duplicates
  (repointing MediaFile, ParentId and ImageFolderDuration) before creating
  the index; legacy rows keep a null hash and heal on the next scan.
- Tests: deterministic cross-connection race, 8x10 barrier stress with an
  insert-attempt vacuity guard, classifier-inversion negative control, and
  a real-migration dedupe test.

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.

timothy 6bd1d954bd fix(496): review fixes — thread the replaced local path, scope identity per library, sweep legacy rows [decisions-edit]
Independent cold review (Codex) returned BLOCKED. Findings 1, 3 and 4 are fixed here;
each has a regression test proven non-vacuous by a negative control.

1. Blocker — the replaced local path was discarded. The scanner computed localPath but
   GetOrAdd only received `incoming`, so the repository re-derived the path from the
   UNREPLACED projection. On any install with path replacements, adoption hashed the
   server-side path, missed the existing row, ALSO slipped past MediaFileAlreadyExists
   (which hashes that same wrong string) and inserted a duplicate row under a server path,
   leaving the original collection-linked row identity-less forever. The test harness hid
   this because its path-replacement stub was an identity function.
   → GetOrAdd now takes localPath explicitly and never reads the projection's path;
     BuildPathReplacement takes a real mapping and the new test genuinely replaces.

3. Medium — GetByItemId matched on ItemId alone, so two media sources presenting the same
   item id (cloned Jellyfin DB) resolved to each other's row, letting one library repoint
   another's. → filtered by LibraryPath.LibraryId.

4. Medium — a row predating the identity that the server had ALREADY stopped reporting was
   never adopted (adoption only runs for an incoming item) and carried no identity, so the
   itemId diff could not see it either: it sat Normal and schedulable forever, strictly
   worse than the hard delete it replaced. → GetExistingLegacyMusicVideoPaths +
   FlagFileNotFoundByPaths reconcile legacy rows by local path, and they are counted into
   the #477 empty-fetch guard (on the first scan after this ships they ARE the whole
   library, so a guard counting only identity rows would sweep all of them on a transient
   empty fetch).

Finding 2 (the issue's Done-when #2) is a scope question, not a defect, and is unchanged:
one file path is still one MediaItem row globally, so this lands music videos at parity
with movies rather than eliminating shared-row trashing. Recorded honestly in the decision
record; raised for an explicit call before the issue is closed.

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.

Follow-up to the cold review of 615e00a. The record was corrected to say only
that no NEW sentinel rows are created, but the test file's header still carried
the disclaimed "the data is clean at rest for every provider" claim — sitting on
the very test that supposedly proved it. It now states what the tests actually
pin, and names what they cannot speak to (rows written before this change, which
keep the sentinel and are covered only by the read coercion).

the neighbouring Scanner.Tests cell is corrected in #602 instead, to keep the two

timothy 890745d1d4 fix(460): write null LastScan on disable-sync instead of the MinValue sentinel [decisions-edit]
MediaSourceRepository's Plex/Jellyfin/Emby remove-and-recreate (disable-sync)
flows stamped SystemTime.MinValueUtc into library.LastScan, so normal use kept
minting 0001-01-01 sentinel rows. #409 fixed the READ side (the API coerces the
sentinel to null and a migration cleaned the historical residue), so the wire
contract was already correct — this stops new sentinel rows being written.

Safe because every remaining LastScan reader either coalesces
(LastScan ?? SystemTime.MinValueUtc) for its own non-nullable scan-comparison
needs, or is the API read-boundary coercion itself — audited every reference
under ErsatzTV{,.Application,.Core,.Infrastructure,.Scanner,.Mcp} plus web/.
There is no Where/OrderBy/GroupBy on LastScan anywhere, so the SQL
null-ordering divergence between SQLite and MySQL has no surface here.
Scan-comparison behavior is unchanged.

Deliberately ships NO second cleanup migration: rows written between #409's
NullOutNeverScannedLastScan and this change keep the sentinel at rest, and the
permanent read coercion — not a migration — is what keeps the contract honest
for them (as it must be anyway for a restored or hand-edited DB).
LibraryPath.LastScan is likewise left untouched: the flows re-add Paths with
their original values, and its only readers are the local-library scan
handlers, so it has no API surface and no remote-scan effect.

Regression test per provider (MediaSourceRepositoryDisableSyncTests), proven
non-vacuous: restoring the MinValue writes fails all three.

[decisions-edit] — the media.lastscan-null-boundary record documented this
write as an ONGOING sentinel source and rested its "the coercion is permanent"
argument on it, so the rationale prose is corrected in the same PR per
docs.decision-lifecycle. The Rule line is unchanged, so the generated
decisions/README.md catalog is byte-identical.

MediaSourceRepository.cs also loses its UTF-8 BOM (fix-as-you-touch, #311).

The remove-stale + add-new reconcile idiom materializes its add set with
.ToList() BEFORE the loop mutates the existing collection, so the add filter
(`incoming.All(x2 => x2.Name != x.Name)`) is evaluated against a snapshot. Two
identically-named incoming entries whose name is not yet on the existing item
therefore BOTH passed the filter and BOTH inserted — a duplicate row.

Deduplicate the incoming set on the same key the filter compares (Name; Guid
for Guids), in both copies of the idiom:

- PlexMovieLibraryScanner.UpdateMetadata (the original) — genres, studios,
  actors, directors, writers, guids, tags.
- JellyfinMusicVideoLibraryScanner.Reconcile{Genres,Tags,Studios,Artists}
  (added in #497, mirrors the Plex pattern verbatim).

Plex ACTORS are the exception and get an artwork-preferring dedup hoisted out
and shared with the remove filter, because that filter is keyed on
(Name, artwork-presence) — it is the mechanism that drops an artwork-less actor
so the add loop can re-add it WITH artwork. A bare DistinctBy(a => a.Name)
there keeps the FIRST duplicate, so Plex listing the artwork-less copy first
discarded the artwork; worse, the remove filter would still see the
artwork-less duplicate, making its upgrade clause false, so the stale row was
never removed and the artwork never arrived on ANY later scan either. Actor
also carries Role/Order, which first-wins would silently drop too. Caught by
the cold review of the first version of this commit.

For the Jellyfin scanner the dedup sits at the incoming-list declaration, which
also covers the remove filter — safe because all four of those filters only ask
"is this name present at all", an answer duplicates cannot change.

Tests: duplicate-collapse for both paths, the two Actors cases above, and a
POSITIVE CONTROL proving distinct entries are still all added and stale ones
still removed (without it, a mis-keyed dedup that collapsed genuinely different
entries would pass every other assertion). Each proven non-vacuous.
The Plex tests drive the protected UpdateMetadata through a minimal test-only
subclass, as MediaServerMovieLibraryScannerTests already does.

Low likelihood in practice (a media server emitting two identically-named
genres for one item is unusual); this is defensive, with no observed occurrence.

The same idiom is copied into 8 further scanners/repositories that this change
deliberately does not touch (the issue scoped it to two paths) — filed as #600
so the class of bug is tracked rather than silently left in the majority of its
instances. The dedup rule is recorded under scan.musicvideo-reconciliation.

Jellyfin-sourced music videos rendered weaker MTV-style credits than local
NFO libraries: the Scriban credits templates expose Album/Track, and
MusicVideoNfoReader has always mapped both, but the Jellyfin projection
never did. ChronologicalMediaComparer orders music videos by the same two
fields, so they were also ordering worse.

Verified against the live server (1437 MusicVideo items): Album comes back
on 111 and IndexNumber on 4, both WITHOUT being named in the `fields` query
param -- Album is a plain BaseItemDto property, not an ItemFields value, so
no Refit `fields` change is needed (and adding one would be wrong).

ParentIndexNumber is deliberately NOT used for Track: on live data, where
both are present ParentIndexNumber is 1 while IndexNumber carries the real
ordinal, and where only ParentIndexNumber is present it is a collection/disc
grouping that tracks the Album ("Glastonbury: 2022" -> 230).

The fix is two layers, not one. The projection alone would only ever reach
music videos ADDED after it -- UpdateMetadata copies scalars field by field,
so an existing item whose album/track is set or corrected in Jellyfin would
keep a stale value forever. That is the same class of bug #497 fixed for
child collections, one layer up.

Also strips a pre-existing UTF-8 BOM from JellyfinLibraryItemResponse.cs,
which the format gate flags once the file is touched (format-as-you-touch).

JellyfinMusicVideoLibraryScanner.UpdateMetadata copied only scalar fields
for an EXISTING music video, so genres/tags/studios/artists edited in
Jellyfin never reached ErsatzTV — the update path silently dropped every
child collection (only the Add path ever persisted them). Root cause is
inherited from upstream: unlike the movie/episode Jellyfin path, which
reconciles collections inside the tracked repository GetOrAdd,
MusicVideoRepository.GetOrAdd is AsNoTracking and the scanner never
reconciled the collections itself.

Fix mirrors PlexMovieLibraryScanner.UpdateMetadata's remove-stale +
add-new idiom, reconciling exactly the collections that BOTH the Add path
persists AND GetOrAdd eager-loads: Genres, Tags, Studios, Artists. Guids
(add-persisted but not eager-loaded — would duplicate) and Directors
(eager-loaded but not add-persisted for music videos) are deliberately
out of scope.

Movie/Episode paths do NOT have this gap (they reconcile in the tracked
repo GetOrAdd), so no separate fix is needed there.

Test is an interaction test (substituted repos, canned existing item)
verifying the exact reconcile calls; proven non-vacuous. The real-DB
double-scan approach can't drive this: the in-memory harness shares one
SQLite connection across contexts and mid-scan GetOrAdd's First()-nav
path predicate mis-resolves once the existing item carries metadata
children — a harness-only quirk (prod uses per-context pooled
connections).

GetOrAddFolder read libraryPath.LibraryFolders, a navigation collection only
eager-loaded on the local scan path (via GetLibrary). The Jellyfin remote sync
path takes its LibraryPath off the JellyfinLibrary entity, where LibraryFolders
is null, so .Filter(null) threw ArgumentNullException('source') on the first
item of every Jellyfin music-video scan — a feature that had therefore never
run in prod, CI, or locally.

Look the folder up from the DB by (LibraryPathId, Path) instead, removing the
implicit eager-load contract entirely (correct for all nine callers) and
documenting it on ILibraryRepository. null != empty is preserved so a re-scan
does not insert duplicate LibraryFolder rows. No new hot-path cost: local
scanners already query GetParentFolderId per folder just before this call.

Tests:
- LibraryRepositoryTests: GetOrAddFolder with a null LibraryFolders (the exact
  remote-path shape) creates the folder, is idempotent on re-scan, and persists
  a supplied ParentId.
- JellyfinMusicVideoLibraryScannerTests: an end-to-end scan of one synthetic
  music video, wiring the REAL LibraryRepository/ArtistRepository/
  MusicVideoRepository against in-memory SQLite (the existing MediaServer*
  scanner tests mock every repo, which is why the bug escaped), asserts the scan
  completes and creates Artist + MusicVideo rows with a real LibraryFolder.

Both proven non-vacuous against the reverted fix (each reproduces the issue's
ArgumentNullException). decisions.md entry added.

The media-server television scanner reconciles removed items at three levels
via existing.Except(incoming), but the season and episode sweeps live inside
the per-parent loops (ScanSeasons inside the show loop, ScanEpisodes inside the
season loop). Those loops only iterate parents present in the incoming list, so
a show (or season) that is gone from the media server is never visited and its
descendants are never swept — they keep their last state. On Jellyfin/Emby that
is RemoteOnly, which PlayoutBuilder does NOT skip even with PlayoutSkipMissingItems
on, so every orphaned episode keeps getting scheduled as a guaranteed tune-in
failure (the #473 reproduction; 717 stale prod rows across 10 removed shows).

Fix: cascade the flag by parent MediaItem.Id. Two provider-agnostic repo helpers
(Season.ShowId / Episode.SeasonId are on the base tables) flag descendants and the
scanner drives them after each parent sweep — show → seasons → episodes, and
season → episodes for the show-present case. Shared abstract base fixes
Jellyfin/Plex/Emby at once; Movie/OtherVideo are flat and have no such gap.

Tests: a Scanner.Tests case asserts the scanner cascades through the (substituted)
repository (non-vacuous — fails if the cascade calls are removed), and Integration
tests exercise the real cascade SQL against the schema, proving it flags only the
targeted subtree and no-ops on empty input.

fixes #476

timothyandClaude Opus 4.8 02a493e95e feat(#259): id-based reconcile for schedule-items replace (backend + DTO)
Add optional `int? Id` to ScheduleItemRequest/ReplaceProgramScheduleItem so
a client can round-trip each existing item's server id. When ids are present,
ReplaceProgramScheduleItemsHandler reconciles by id (not array position), so an
item's persisted fill-group/shuffle state (PlayoutScheduleItemFillGroupIndex,
FK OnDelete Cascade) follows the logical item across reorders/inserts instead of
being inherited by whatever previously occupied its new slot (#259, split from
#252/#253). A fully id-less payload keeps the verbatim positional fallback.

Guards (inside PersistItems, after CheckVersion so 412 precedes 422): duplicate
id -> 422; id not in this schedule -> 422 (a stale id under Phase-1 force-write is
a live lost-update signal, not a new item). Index stays array-position derived.

Regenerated v1.json + TS client.

First slice of the REST API (ersatztv#2). Idiomatic REST over existing MediatR handlers; design in docs/rest-api.md.

Foundation: NotFoundError : BaseError (Core) to split 404 from 422; ApiResults mapping helpers (Either/Option -> 201+Location / 200 / 204 / 404 / 422), additive (existing *ToActionResult untouched); ApiKeyAuthorizationFilter (optional X-Api-Key on mutating actions, gated by Api:WriteKey, no-op when unset) — independent of the IPTV JWT toggle so Jellyfin/Dispatcharr reads are unaffected, applied at controller-class level so every mutating action incl. ResetPlayout is covered fail-safe.

Channels: POST /api/channels (201+Location), PUT/{id} (200/404), DELETE/{id} (204/404), GET/{id} (200/404). Request DTOs -> existing commands; responses reuse ChannelViewModel. Ported page-only validations into handlers (ShowInEpg-when-disabled, external-logo-URL, Group NotEmpty) + FFmpegProfile/Watermark/Filler existence on update for create-parity. Fixed a latent 500: the .Filter(c>0) existence pattern threw TaskCanceledException on not-found; rewritten to AnyAsync.

Tests (NUnit, TZ=UTC): handler success/404/422, ApiResults mapping, API-key filter, controller status/Location/mapping, a controller-security regression net, and a create->read->delete EF integration test on a new in-memory SQLite harness. ErsatzTV.Tests 46/46, Architecture 5/5.
