review-verdict/h10 Review-verdict: MERGEABLE @ daedf00
Addresses the round-3 cold re-review's five low-severity findings on #644's client-side paging fix:

- F1: `loadPickerOptions` (RerunCollectionsScreen, PlaylistsScreen) returned one `truncated:
  boolean` for two different conditions — a real Class B cap hit vs an unconverged Class A
  `loadAllPages` load — so an incomplete multi-collection load rendered the self-contradictory
  "Showing the first 47 of 47 — use search to narrow." Replaced with a `hint: 'incomplete' | 'none'
  | 'truncated'` discriminator and distinct copy per value; 'incomplete' matches the wording already
  used by the Class A list-load warn Badge.
- F2: mirrored the out-of-list current-selection injection (RerunCollectionsScreen/PlaylistsScreen's
  `selectedInList` prepend) into FillerPresetsScreen and ScheduleItemInspector's rerun-collection
  picker, so an id outside the loaded page still renders as selected instead of misrepresenting the
  stored value as "(none)".
- F3: gated the `console.warn` on an incomplete Class A load with `!signal?.aborted` in the `multi`
  branches (RerunCollectionsScreen, PlaylistsScreen) and SchedulesScreen.loadAllRerunCollections, so
  a superseded/aborted load (Retry, or a type switch mid-load) no longer logs a false warning.
- F4: added `Select`'s `ariaDescribedBy` prop and wired the truncation/incomplete hint span to it via
  `useId()` in RerunCollectionsScreen and PlaylistsScreen, so screen readers announce the hint
  (FillerPresetsScreen already routed it through `Row help=`).
- F5: added FillerPresetsScreen.test.tsx (previously untested) covering the Class B single-request
  guarantee, the truncation hint's totalCount>100/<=100 boundary, and the F2 injection; added the
  two assertions the re-review found missing anywhere in the suite — the Class A `incomplete` warn
  Badge actually rendering, and a screen-level seqRef stale-overwrite race — to
  RerunCollectionsScreen.test.tsx.

Updates docs/spa-conventions.md §3b and the
spa.list-completeness-vs-bounded-pickers decision record to describe the hint discriminator.

review-verdict/h10 Review-verdict: MERGEABLE @ ee66cb7
Build ErsatzTV Image / Build & push image (amd64) (pull_request) Has been skipped
Independent cold review (Codex, no implementation role) found no Blocker and
three real defects, all fixed here:

HIGH — HDR was re-tagged bt709 only when the profile had NormalizeColors on.
The colorspace filter sat behind desiredState.ColorsAreBt709, so an operator
with normalization disabled got tonemapped SDR pixels still tagged bt2020 and
the player converted them a second time. The guard is now
"tonemapped || (ColorsAreBt709 && ...)". Deliberately NOT fixed by hoisting
usesVppQsv out of the guard, which would force bt709 on scale-only non-HDR
chains that legitimately opted out.

MEDIUM — image subtitles stopped being resized. The subtitle canvas is scaled
only when the video chain contains a recognized scale filter, and that predicate
listed the QSV filters only; swapping ScaleQsvFilter for ScaleVaapiFilter left a
4K HDR + PGS source with a 720p video and a source-size subtitle overlay.
VaapiPipelineBuilder already listed ScaleVaapiFilter; QsvPipelineBuilder does now.

MEDIUM — anamorphic HDR now falls back to the software tonemap. ScaleQsvFilter
is handed the SAR VideoStream calculates (it has a 0:0 fallback); ScaleVaapiFilter
multiplies by ffmpeg's runtime `sar`, which differs when the decoded frame leaves
SAR unspecified. Rather than ship a graph nobody has run, exclude anamorphic --
which leaves those sources exactly where they were before this change.

LOW — tests now pin the exact validated graph as an ordered substring (the prior
assertions would have passed with setFormat off, hwdownload dropped, or the wrong
tonemap output format), assert against the vpp_qsv OPTION rather than a bare
"tonemap=1" substring, and cover NormalizeColors=false, anamorphic and image
subtitles. Each of the three fixes was negative-controlled: reverting it fails
exactly one test, and no others.

The remaining LOW (deriveDevice's defaulted bool is a future-call-site trap) is
recorded as an accepted residual rather than fixed, since a named factory would
push this diff into the VA-API pipeline for no behavior change.

The record is 86 prose lines, over the 60-line ceiling. Declining to cut: every
bullet is a distinct measured finding, which docs.corpus-size-signal names as a
legitimate decline.

timothyandClaude Opus 5 94182cdd53 fix(644): split loadAllPages by list class; bound media-library pickers to one page
Cold adversarial review of fe342a6a found the blanket loadAllPages-everywhere fix
dangerous for the three getLibraryBrowseItems pickers (RerunCollectionsScreen,
PlaylistsScreen, FillerPresetsScreen): paging Episode/Song/Image/Movie/MusicVideo
to completeness can mean ~200 serial requests against a 20k-row library, each more
expensive than the last, to populate a <select> with thousands of <option> nodes.

- Class A (bounded-by-construction lists: rerun collections, multi-collections,
  playlists) keep loadAllPages. Class B (media-library pickers) now fetch ONE
  bounded page and surface truncation via a `Showing the first N of M` hint wired
  to the real totalCount, instead of paging to completeness or truncating silently.
- loadAllPages: reports `{ items, complete }` instead of just `T[]` so a caller
  can no longer mistake a defensive empty-page break for a full list (F4); accepts
  an optional AbortSignal so a superseded loop stops issuing further page requests
  (F2); baseParams is now required via a conditional rest-tuple whenever the
  loader's params type has a field beyond pageNum/pageSize (F6); pushes into the
  accumulator instead of re-spreading it every page (F7).
- MultiCollectionsScreen/RerunCollectionsScreen/SchedulesScreen: add a seqRef +
  AbortController guard around the list/bootstrap loads so a stale loadAllPages
  loop can't resolve after a newer one and resurrect deleted rows (F3); log and
  surface an incomplete load rather than rendering it as whole.
- docs/spa-conventions.md §3b rewritten for the Class A / Class B split; new
  decision record docs/decisions/records/spa/list-completeness-vs-bounded-pickers.md
  (spa.list-completeness-vs-bounded-pickers), catalog regenerated.
- Tests: paging.test.ts covers null/undefined totalCount, null page, a
  short-but-non-empty page, a page-2 rejection, the complete:false flag, and
  cancellation (asserting fetch call COUNT stays put after abort), plus a
  compile-time @ts-expect-error pinning the F6 typing fix. Screen-level tests
  pin a real second HTTP request for a >100-item Class A list
  (MultiCollectionsScreen) and exactly one /library/browse request plus the
  truncation hint for a Class B picker (RerunCollectionsScreen).

timothy 18c4f4e0b2 docs(505): correct the #498 record's escape-hatch claim, which was wrong the dangerous way
The qsv-decode-encode-split record told HDR-on-QSV users to set
QsvPreferNativeDecoder OFF "to keep GPU tonemap". Measured on the Intel host,
vpp_qsv=tonemap=1 is a silent no-op on pre-Gen11 graphics, so following that
advice did not preserve GPU tonemapping -- it disabled tonemapping entirely and
shipped untonemapped HDR.

Prose correction only; the decision itself (the QsvPreferNativeDecoder toggle)
is unchanged and stays active. The software-tonemap half of the bullet was
always accurate and stands.

Decisions-Edit: yes
2026-07-26 21:00:49 +02:00
timothy 41e2870113 fix(505): tonemap QSV HDR through OpenCL; vpp_qsv=tonemap is a silent no-op
#505 asked to route the #498 native-decode path through TonemapQsvFilter to
move HDR tonemapping off the CPU. Measured on the Intel host (jazz: FFmpeg
8.1.2 / iHD 25.1.4 / UHD 630) against real HDR HEVC Main10, that filter is a
SILENT no-op: a graph ending in vpp_qsv=tonemap=1 returns a frame byte-identical
(same md5) to the same graph with no tonemap at all, with no warning and no
error. QSV VPP tonemapping needs Gen11+; pre-Gen11 iHD ignores it.

So the issue's premise was inverted, and the branch it wanted to extend was
already broken: the existing DecoderHardwareAccelerationMode == Qsv path shipped
untonemapped HDR whenever QsvPreferNativeDecoder was off -- which is exactly the
escape hatch #498/#523 recommend. Prod was unaffected (native-decode is the
default and took the working software branch).

Tonemap on the GPU via OpenCL instead, the route VaapiPipelineBuilder already
uses and the one Jellyfin uses. The scale has to run first, in scale_vaapi:
tonemapping full-size is slower than the software path it replaces (15.5s wall
for 12.5s of content, below realtime), while scale-first cuts total CPU ~60%
(35.6s -> 14.1s) and lands at the no-tonemap wall-clock floor. A QSV surface
maps to neither OpenCL nor VA-API, so the gate requires software frames: the
QSV decoder and deinterlace_qsv both fall back to the software tonemap, slower
but correct. TonemapQsvFilter is deleted -- a filter that silently does nothing
is worse than no filter.

Also fixes output tagging: the first end-to-end run was correctly tonemapped yet
still announced bt2020 primaries, because SetPixelFormat's usesVppQsv predicate
("did a hardware filter strip color info") listed only the QSV filters. Both new
filters are now in it.

Validated end to end on jazz with the exact generated command: exit 0,
YAVG 26.39 (software reference 26.6, untonemapped 44.3), and ffprobe reports
bt709 space/transfer/primaries.

timothy fe342a6a0b fix(644): page SPA list loaders to completeness instead of inflating pageSize
Seven call sites (rerun-collections, multi-collections, library/browse) requested
pageSize far above each endpoint's server-side MaxPageSize=100 clamp and took the
single response page as the whole list, so rows past 100 silently vanished with no
error or truncation indicator.

Extract the loadAllRerunCollections pattern from SchedulesScreen (#634) into a
shared, generic web/src/api/paging.ts::loadAllPages helper that pages against
totalCount with an empty-page defensive break, and refactor SchedulesScreen plus
the seven over-cap call sites in RerunCollectionsScreen, MultiCollectionsScreen,
PlaylistsScreen, and FillerPresetsScreen to use it. Server caps are unchanged
(api.search-allitems-paging precedent: client pages, server stays bounded).

Document the convention in docs/spa-conventions.md §3b.

review-verdict/h10 Review-verdict: MERGEABLE @ fefd11d
Squashed from 7 commits (4 review rounds) to keep the rebase onto #621 tractable; the
full round-by-round history is on PR #642.

corpus was 5658/5600 — over budget and warning again — 3h35m after #619 put it at 5228,
with nobody consolidating anything.

So this does NOT re-baseline. An aggregate over a monotonically growing corpus can only
ratchet; that is the "permanently red, therefore no signal" state #542 re-baselined away
from, and growth is not even a smooth rate to plan against (the corpus FELL from 5089 to
5042 across four days, then gained 427 in one evening as two large records landed).

Replaces it with a per-record prose ceiling (default 60), non-blocking, naming each
record over it — not monotonic, so it can go red AND green, and it points at a file. The
aggregate is still printed as an unthresholded trend notice, with record prose and
non-record scaffolding reported separately because they are not the same unit. The
GENERATED catalog is no longer counted at all: it gains one row per record and no
consolidation can shrink it, which made the metric partly a record COUNT in a line-count
costume.

The calibration test took FOUR versions, and the failures are the durable lesson:
  v1  true by construction (`max(under) <= 60 < min(over)` over lists built by that test)
  v2  a gap WIDTH — a ceiling of 200 also sits in a wide gap, so it passed
  v3  fraction band + "clear air" vs the nearest record above — hostage to an unrelated
      record: one ordinary 62-line addition reddened it with the ceiling correctly
      placed, and the only remedy was to RAISE the ceiling. That is this very treadmill,
      as a hard failure in what #631 makes a blocking job.
  v4  `p90 <= ceiling <= p95` — the property stated directly and scale-free.
Two rules recorded: a guard test must depend only on the thing it guards, and a threshold
over a growing population must be expressed in that population's own terms.

Candidates: all over-ceiling records assessed, each actioned or declined with a reason.
The largest (scan.libraryfolder-unique-identity, 230 lines) is a legitimate DECLINE — a
dozen-odd distinct traps whose only copy that is. Nothing pruned, so no archive or
supersession was required. An automated redundancy metric is explicitly rejected.

Also: `--budget` is accepted but announces its retirement rather than no-opping silently;
the dead `budget_ok` parameter is gone; and five "untresholded" typos are fixed, one of
which was propagating into the generated catalog row and MemPalace's per-key drawer.

review-verdict/h10 Review-verdict: MERGEABLE @ 37fd30d
Third latent defect surfaced purely by running scripts/tests in CI — and this one was
already red on origin/main, where test_frontmatter_reader_matches_pyyaml_on_every_real_record
fails.

`api/paging-zero-based.md` carried an UNQUOTED plain scalar title ending
"... (#616, #633)". In YAML a space followed by `#` starts a COMMENT, so PyYAML reads the
title as truncated at "(#616," while the hand-written dependency-free reader keeps the
whole line. PyYAML is correct per spec; the record's title was genuinely losing "#633)"
for any spec-compliant consumer, which includes MemPalace's ingest.

Fixed by quoting the scalar; both parsers now agree byte-for-byte.

Asked "instance or class?" before fixing: swept every frontmatter field of all 179
records under both parsers and compared. This is the ONLY divergence in the corpus, so a
one-line fix is the right scope — no lint rule needed, and #621's structural guard
already makes a parse FAILURE loud (this was a parse-to-different, which no structural
check can see).

216 passed under jq 1.8.2 and jq 1.6.

timothyandClaude Opus 5 bb1809fbf0 fix(647): the jq-1.6 fail-open was ALSO in review-verdict.yml — the enforced gate
Round-4 review caught the miss that matters most: #643 fixed the `jq -e`-on-empty
fail-open in .claude/hooks/pretooluse-merge-consent.sh, but the SAME construct sits in
.gitea/workflows/review-verdict.yml — and that is the copy that runs on the CI runner,
where jq is 1.6, and that feeds the branch-protection-required review-verdict/h10
status.

Reproduced: `printf "" | jq -e '.statuses | type == "array"'` exits 4 on jq 1.8.2 (guard
fires, correct) and 0 on jq 1.6 (guard passes). So on a transient API error `statusjson`
is empty, the guard lets it through, `existing` reads "", and the job posts `pending` —
or for a bot/docs-only PR an exemption `success` — over a possibly-existing human
verdict. That is precisely what the comment three lines above it says must never happen.

The hook version was harmless in practice because it runs on a dev Mac with jq 1.8. This
one is live. Fixed identically, with a comment naming why the sibling fix missed it, and
the same hardening applied to the changed-files read in the same workflow.

Also from round 4:

- LOW, reproduced — an ARRAY-valued `.status` dodged the closed allow-list. `index` is
  polymorphic: with an array argument it does SUBSEQUENCE matching, so
  `[...,"renamed",...] | index(["renamed"])` is truthy while `.status == "renamed"` is
  false — the row passed the allow-list AND skipped the `previous_filename REQUIRED`
  clause. The same `git mv code -> docs/` dodge the closed set exists to block, one type
  away. Now requires `.status` to be a string first; mutation-verified.

- The record now carries all THREE jq rules rather than the one, and notes that the
  durable fix is pinning/preflighting the runner's jq version rather than patching
  constructs one at a time (tracked on #647).

200 tests pass under BOTH jq 1.8.2 and jq 1.6.

timothyandClaude Opus 5 f4473926d4 fix(643): close the status-string dodge, pin the allow-list anchors, fix two doc claims
Round-3 review (MERGEABLE, all findings Low/Nit) — applied anyway, because each is the
over-claim or unpinned-anchor family this PR keeps hitting.

LOW — the `renamed => previous_filename REQUIRED` clause matched `.status` by exact
lowercase string, so any other value took the `else true` branch: a row with
`"Renamed"`, or with no status at all, validated fine and silently dropped its SOURCE
path, letting `git mv ErsatzTV/Program.cs -> docs/a.md` read as docs-only. `.status` is
now checked against a closed set and an unknown value fails closed.

Two things that fix taught me, both caught by my own positive control rather than by
review:
  1. The first predicate was WRONG in a way that gated everything: inside
     `[...] | index(.status)`, jq's `.` is the ARRAY, so `.status` was null and every
     row failed. `$s` is now bound from the row before the context switches. A
     security check that rejects everything looks identical to a working one from the
     failing side — only test_gitea_real_status_values_are_accepted caught it.
  2. The set includes BOTH `changed` and `modified`. Live Gitea 1.25.4 emits `changed`,
     but a closed allow-list built from the wrong vocabulary is worse than the hole it
     closes: it would gate every genuine docs-only PR. The property wanted is "reject
     what we don't recognise", not "enumerate one version exactly".

LOW — three allow-list anchors had no test at all: dropping `^` from the `docs/`
alternative (`ErsatzTV/docs/Program.cs` would exempt), dropping `$` from `.md`
(`x.md.cs` would exempt), and dropping the non-empty-list guard. Since the round-3 `..`
finding WAS an anchor subversion, they are now pinned; all three mutation-verified.

NIT — docs/ci-cd.md called this job "a checkout plus a pure-stdlib pytest run", which
the same file contradicts 450 lines later and which this PR's own record names as the
bug that turned the job red on its first CI run. Also replaced a frozen "111 tests" with
an explicitly indicative figure — the suite is ~190 after rebasing onto main, and a
frozen count has rotted four times this session.

198 passed under both jq 1.8.2 and jq 1.6.

timothy 54c875414c fix(643): validate every field the extraction consumes; fix a vacuous test
Re-review of the previous fix commit found it incomplete and its test vacuous. Both
reproduced before fixing.

MEDIUM — the validation domain did not match the CONSUMPTION domain. `chunk` emits
`(.previous_filename // empty)` for EVERY row regardless of status, but the guard
validated that field only when `.status == "renamed"`. So a row marked `modified` — or
Gitea's distinct `copied` — carrying a newline in previous_filename was still exempted.
Verified EXEMPT for both statuses against the previous commit. Now validated whenever
present, with the `renamed` => REQUIRED clause kept on top.

MEDIUM — test_newline_in_previous_filename_is_also_rejected asserted the right outcome
without exercising the mechanism: its payload's second segment was
`ErsatzTV/Program.cs`, which the allow-list rejects on its own, so the test passed with
the newline guard entirely removed. That is why the hole above went unnoticed — the
same filter-hides-the-defect trap the guard itself is about. Payload changed to a
segment that PASSES the allow-list, so the test now discriminates, plus parametrized
regressions for modified/copied/added.

LOW — `..` components rejected. The allow-list anchors `^docs/`, so
`docs/../ErsatzTV/Program.cs` matched it (reproduced). Git will not produce such a
path, but this guard exists to fail closed on unexpected 2xx shapes.

Added a positive control (a legitimate docs->docs rename still exempts) so the
tightened row schema cannot be satisfied by never exempting anything.

Severity calibrated in the record: the docs-only exemption ends in `decide allow ""`, a
passthrough to the normal permission prompt, NOT an auto-grant. Every bypass here
downgrades a mechanical deny/ask to a human prompt; none can silently self-merge. Real,
worth fixing, but not what an earlier framing of #643 implied.

All mutation-verified; 123 passed under BOTH jq 1.8.2 and jq 1.6.

timothy c046add10a fix(643): close two more fail-opens in the docs-only enumeration, found by cold review
An independent cross-family review of the jq-1.6 fix found two further ways the
docs-only exemption can fire over an incomplete file list — both reachable with NO
transport error, so neither had anything to do with the original bug.

1. HIGH — a path containing a newline. `chunk` flattens paths into newline-delimited
   text before the allow-list grep, so a filename of "safe.md\ndocs/Program.cs" splits
   into two lines that BOTH match the allow-list, while the real single path ends in
   .cs. Git permits newlines in filenames and the reviewer reproduced the bypass
   against this hook. Now rejected outright at the row-schema guard, on both
   `filename` and `previous_filename`: no docs path contains a control character, so
   failing closed costs nothing.

2. HIGH — a short page read as the last page. `n < 50` assumed the server's page size
   is the 50 we requested, but Gitea caps `limit` at the server-wide
   MAX_RESPONSE_ITEMS (default 50, configurable) and may return fewer. A 30-row docs
   page followed by a page of code completed the enumeration over a PARTIAL list.
   Only a validated EMPTY page may now terminate it; the page<=40 cap still fails
   closed, and the cost is one extra request.

3. MEDIUM — the enumeration was not bound to one head. Paging is several round-trips,
   so a force-push between them assembles a list belonging to no single commit: page 1
   from head A plus a short docs tail from head B, with B's code page never read. The
   head sha is re-read after enumeration and the exemption refused if it moved.

All three mutation-verified: reverting each fix reddens exactly its own test and
nothing else. A positive control (short page then empty page) pins that the stricter
terminator still exempts a genuinely docs-only PR, so "never terminate early" cannot
be satisfied by never exempting anything. 118 passed under BOTH jq 1.8.2 and jq 1.6.

The record now states the generalisable lesson: every defect here was an
exhaustiveness failure in an enumeration whose completeness is load-bearing. When a
security decision depends on having seen ALL of something, the termination condition
must be positive and explicit, never inferred from a proxy.

timothy 5f068a2488 fix(631): close a fail-open in the merge-consent gate that only CI could see
Running scripts/tests in CI for the first time turned up a real defect in the gate
itself, not just in the harness.

`jq -e` over EMPTY input exits 4 on jq >= 1.7 but 0 on jq 1.6 — verified against both
binaries, not inferred. The docs-only pagination guard in
pretooluse-merge-consent.sh leaned on that exit status to reject a transport failure.
On jq 1.6, which the CI runner ships:

  page 2 errors -> gq returns empty -> jq guard wrongly PASSES -> n is empty so
  [ "$n" -lt 50 ] errors into false -> the loop walks PAST the failed page -> page 3
  legitimately returns [] -> files_complete=yes over a PARTIAL list -> the docs-only
  exemption fires over unread pages that may be pure code.

That is the very defect the guard's own comment describes, reintroduced one layer down
by a jq version difference. Fixed by rejecting an empty body explicitly rather than
inferring it from jq's exit status. The same hardening is applied to the
review-verdict status read, which fell through to `vstate=""` -> deny (fail-CLOSED, so
never a hole) but would have surfaced the wrong message.

Why it survived: the existing transport-failure test asserts the right thing but can
only observe the bug where jq is 1.6, so it passes on a developer Mac with the bug
fully present — and the suite had never run anywhere else. The new test removes that
dependency by shimming ONLY jq 1.6's empty-input exit status, so it pins the property
on any host. Mutation-verified: revert the fix and it goes red on jq 1.8.2.

The shim is deliberately narrow (no `-n`): a broader first version swallowed the
`jq -n` calls `decide` uses to build its JSON, so the hook emitted nothing and every
decision read as a passthrough — the verifier manufacturing the exemption it was
meant to disprove. test_jq16_shim_actually_reproduces_the_quirk now pins the shim
itself, `-n` case included.

Suite: 113 passed under jq 1.8.2 AND under jq 1.6.

timothy 73577f484f ci(631): install pyyaml too — the suite is not pure-stdlib, and CI proved it
First CI run went red on `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yaml'` at collection:
test_migration_equivalence.py imports scripts/migrate_decisions_split.py, which uses
PyYAML by design. It passed locally only because this machine already had PyYAML.

The original claim came from reading decisions_lib/decisions_validate/build_catalog
and the test files themselves — which is precisely the set that does NOT import yaml.
Replaced with an AST import scan over all of scripts/, which gives the complete
third-party set: pytest and yaml. (etv_client is imported only by
scripts/scripted-schedules/entrypoint.py, a container entrypoint pytest never
collects.)

This does not contradict the dependency-free decisions READ path:
decisions_lib._read_frontmatter is hand-written exactly so validation runs where
nothing is installed. The one-shot WRITE path is allowed PyYAML, and its test needs it.

Verified the way it should have been the first time: a clean venv with pytest alone
reproduces CI's collection error; adding pyyaml gives 111 passed. Comments, ci-cd.md
and the decision record all corrected to drop the "pure stdlib" claim.

timothy c0f4a52d7a ci(631): preflight jq/git in script-tests, and reflow the header comment
test_post_review_verdict.py and test_merge_consent_exemption.py exec the real
post-review-verdict.sh and pretooluse-merge-consent.sh, which shell out to jq ~26
times. Those tests shim `curl` on PATH but NOT `jq`, and no existing small-lane job
proves jq is present on that image — so a missing jq would land as ~20 opaque
assertion failures rather than a diagnosis.

Checks rather than installs: #390 deliberately removed run-time apt-get from CI, so
the correct fix for a genuine miss is baking the tool into the runner image, and the
error message says so.

timothy 69d8d3ccfe ci(631): run scripts/tests in CI as its own job, not inside the flake-covered decisions-guard
Nothing executed scripts/tests/. No workflow and no Husky hook invoked pytest:
decisions-guard runs decisions_validate.py and build_decisions_catalog.py directly
(the code, never its tests) and the `test` job is dotnet test only. The 111 tests
guarding the decision corpus, the #610 migration-equivalence harness, the
merge-consent exemption logic and the #622 review-verdict poster were enforced only
by whoever remembered to run pytest locally.

Adds a `script-tests` job to pr-checks.yml rather than the step inside decisions-guard
the issue proposed. decisions-guard is covered by ci.decisions-lifecycle-flake, a
standing instruction that a lone `decisions lifecycle` red is a known flake and must
not be investigated — so a genuine pytest regression there would surface as exactly
the red every session is told to wave through. A gate inherits the credibility of the
job it lives in.

Runs unconditionally: the suite executes the real post-review-verdict.sh and
pretooluse-merge-consent.sh, so a `scripts/**` path filter would miss a
.claude/hooks/** edit. ~10s, pure stdlib + pytest.

Negative control verified locally (broken test -> exit 1); CI-red measurement follows
on a scratch PR per the Done-when.

The record said "10 tests go red"; on the rebased base a full short-circuit reddens 11.
Both numbers are real and measure different mutations: neutering only the scan loop
leaves the empty-wing check live (10), while returning [] from the whole function
disables that too (11). The reviewer flagged the phrasing as ambiguous before the count
also drifted.

Now states the mutation alongside the number, since a bare count is exactly the kind of
frozen figure this session has watched rot four times.

Re-review found the basename exemption was not actually removed: the code still dropped
any wing-root README.md, and the docstring defended that with "no such file exists
today; the catalog README lives in TOPIC_DIR". That is false — docs/decisions/archive/
README.md exists and parses to []. So the rule text in the record, the catalog row and
ci-cd.md all asserted something the shipped code contradicted.

It was also a live hole, not just wrong prose: dl.active_files() globs RECORDS_DIR.rglob
with NO filter, so a future docs/decisions/records/README.md would be a corpus source
while exempt from the guard — verbatim the hole this PR cites as the reason to stop
using _NON_DECISION_FILES, reintroduced one directory over.

Now exempt by exact RELATIVE PATH ({archive/README.md}), with a test pinning that the
same basename in the ACTIVE wing is still faulted. Mutation-verified.

DISAGREEING with one review finding, deliberately. It asked for the empty-wing
anti-vacuity check to be symmetric across both wings. The semantics differ: zero ACTIVE
records means the scan measured nothing and any clean result is vacuous, while zero
ARCHIVED records is a normal state — nothing superseded yet, true of any young repo and
every fresh clone before the first supersession. Making it symmetric fails a correct
corpus (it reddened 7 tests). The asymmetry stays, with the reason in the code and a
test pinning it so nobody "fixes" it back.

127 passed.

timothy 98b3e8715b fix(621): close three exemption holes and pin the guard's own wiring, per cold review
An independent cold-context review found the guard could be disabled or bypassed in
four ways, one of them silently.

HIGH — the guard's only wiring was untested. Deleting `wing_faults=record_wing_faults()`
from main() left the ENTIRE suite green (120 passed) while a real block-scalar record
vanished again with `decisions-validate: OK`. Every existing test either called the
collector directly or handed validate() a hand-built list, so nothing pinned that
main() ever invokes it — the #609 "prints OK while doing nothing" defect, one level up,
inside the fix for that same defect. Independently reproduced before fixing. Now pinned
by a monkeypatched sentinel test.

MEDIUM — a record could escape by BASENAME. `_NON_DECISION_FILES` is a set of TOPIC-dir
names ({README, migration-map, retrieval-eval}) and was applied to the wings too, so a
genuine record at records/docs/retrieval-eval.md was skipped. Not hypothetical: the
path<->key rule forces key `docs.retrieval-eval` to that exact filename, and
dl.active_files() applies that filter only to the TOPIC_DIR glob — so the file would be
a corpus source while exempt from the guard. Now nothing is exempt by basename.

MEDIUM — the archive exemption was by LOCATION but justified by IDENTITY. Anything
directly in archive/ was skipped, so a new unparseable archive/foo.md would vanish in
the one directory left unwatched. Now exempt only if it really is a #610 stripped index:
one keyless record with a known generated heading.

LOW — parse-to-WRONG. `rule: >-` with an UNINDENTED continuation containing a colon
parses to one VALID keyed record whose rule is literally ">-", plus a junk key, silently
truncating the real value. PyYAML rejects that input, so the hand reader is more
permissive than the writer. Now faulted via an unknown-frontmatter-key check.

LOW — an absent or empty wing reported clean. Now loud: refusing to certify a corpus
from a scan of nothing.

Doc corrections, all measured rather than asserted: "all 167 records use single quoted
lines" was false (117 of 168 rule: values are unquoted plain scalars — the invariant is
single-LINE); the archive shape in the record, ci-cd.md and the rule: field said
`archive/<area>/` where the code deliberately uses archive/** ; the mutation count is 10,
not five; and the "converts ANY reader limitation" claim is softened to the class it
actually covers.

125 passed.

timothy 0f565b1f7e fix(621): make an unparseable decision record loud instead of silently invisible
A file under the record wings that the dependency-free frontmatter reader cannot
parse returned [] and simply vanished from the corpus: decisions_validate.py printed
OK, build_decisions_catalog.py --check said "up to date", the record was absent, and
nothing anywhere errored. Reproduced end-to-end with a YAML block scalar (`rule: >-`),
which is the natural thing to reach for on this corpus's very long rule: values and
which parsed fine under PyYAML before #610's dependency-free reader.

An EXISTING record disappearing was already loud (the no-vanish diff check). The hole
was a NEWLY ADDED record, which that check structurally cannot see — no base state to
diff against — so the author's own PR looks clean. Hence a per-PATH check, not a
per-construct or diff-driven one: asserting "this path yields exactly one keyed
record" turns any present or future reader limitation from silent to loud in one move.

Adds record_wing_files/record_wing_faults to decisions_validate.py, surfaced through
validate() as ERRORS (a file in the record wings that is not a record is a mistake by
definition) and reported first, since a file that failed to parse leaves every
downstream check silently evaluating an incomplete corpus. The five top-level stripped
legacy archive files are exempt — they are generated "Records formerly in this file"
indexes, keyless by construction, and are what keeps older date-based pointers
resolvable.

_read_frontmatter is deliberately NOT extended to accept block scalars; rationale in
the new docs.record-wing-parse-guard record.

8 tests, mutation-verified: with the check neutered 5 go red, restored all 119 pass.
A live-corpus positive control asserts the wings are non-empty so a clean result can
never be vacuous.

timothy 214fad2dcd fix(633): document the 0-based paging contract on the OpenAPI parameters
`api.paging-zero-based` says `pageNum` is 0-based across `/api/v1` and every wrapper
of it. That was true of the MCP tool catalog and the docs, and not true of the
generated OpenAPI document: all 24 paging parameters across the 12 paged operations
were emitted with no `description` at all, so a consumer reading only `v1.json` — the
intended contract, and what generated clients surface to their users — had to infer
the base from `default: 0`. That is the same inference that cost #487 a verification
pass on the MCP side, where the description was present but wrong.

Annotates each `[FromQuery]` paging parameter with `[Description]`
(`System.ComponentModel`), the mechanism `parentId` already used in ImagesController,
and regenerates `v1.json`. `pageSize` states the endpoint's OWN cap, because the caps
genuinely differ — 100 typical, 200 auto-tune members, 1000 search/all-items — and the
record forbids documenting one global number; it also states that the offset derives
from the effective (capped) size, so an over-large `pageSize` narrows the page instead
of widening the offset.

The generated TypeScript client covers DTOs only, not query parameters, so it is
unchanged; `endpoint-index.md` carries summaries, not parameter descriptions, so it is
unchanged too.

Pinned by OpenApiPagingContractTests against the in-process generated document. The
test NAMES the expected set of 12 paged operations rather than only filtering for
parameters called `pageNum`: a filter cannot see an endpoint that should page and
doesn't, which is exactly how two MCP tools escaped the equivalent check in #616. Set
equality is asserted in both directions, and the caps are pinned per endpoint so a
description naming the wrong cap fails — a wrong justification outlives a wrong line.

Mutation-verified both ways: dropping one `[Description]` reddens the description test,
and making one endpoint stop exposing `pageNum`/`pageSize` under those names reddens
the set-equality test.

Round 5: raw HTML is the third code-block form. `<pre>`, `<code>` and HTML comments all render their
contents literally, so a verdict inside one is an example, not an approval:

  <pre> / <code> / <!-- ... -->  containing a verdict  ->  positive

Now stripped, tracked as a marker count rather than parsed — the direction of error is to strip MORE,
which can only ever withhold approval. Mutation-verified: removing the stripper fails all five cases.

AND THE HARDENING STOPS HERE, deliberately. The record now says so, because otherwise the next
session re-derives it: this is a best-effort heuristic, not a markdown parser. It covers the three
code-block forms markdown has (fenced; indented, via the column-0 rule; raw HTML) and is not proof
against every way to render text as non-prose.

Stopping is safe because the comment is NOT the load-bearing gate. Since #622 the authoritative
signal is the `review-verdict/h10` commit status, written only by post-review-verdict.sh from
explicit arguments — a comment cannot forge it. This classifier is condition (c) of the PreToolUse
hook: defense in depth on an agent's merge call. A residual false-open means the hook does not
object; it does not mean a merge happens.

Five rounds found five code-block forms, four of them introduced while fixing the previous round.
The generalisable rule, now in the record: when a heuristic keeps failing at the edges, check whether
it is actually the thing enforcing the invariant before spending another round on it.

Also measured, against the real corpus: a "verdict must be the first line" rule would have killed
every code-block form at once, but 14 of 18 verdict markers ever posted in this repo are NOT on the
first line — so it was rejected as a retroactive break, not deferred.

Round 4 found the last false-open: markdown has a SECOND code-block form the fence stripper does
not cover — indented blocks (4 spaces or a tab). A pasted indented example still self-approved:

    Example:

        Review-verdict: MERGEABLE @ <head>     ->  positive

Adding an indented-code stripper would be the same move that produced rounds 2, 3 and 4: fixing the
instance, not the class. So the grammar is narrowed instead — the marker must sit at COLUMN 0. That
kills every indentation-based ambiguity at once (4-space, tab, list-nested, arbitrary indent).

Cost, accepted deliberately: a verdict indented under a list item is now ignored and classifies
`absent`, which asks a human. For a gate, erring toward ignoring is the safe direction. Fence
detection KEEPS its leading-whitespace tolerance, because stripping more is always safe.

`test_leading_indent_is_tolerated` asserted the old behaviour and is replaced by
`test_falseopen_an_indented_verdict_is_not_a_verdict`, parameterised over four indent shapes and
mutation-verified: restoring `^[[:space:]]*` fails all four, control green. 172 tests.

Round 4 verified clean by execution: the rc plumbing fails closed for a forced failure in the inner
jq, awk, grep AND the pipeline producer (rc 3/4/5/93 -> exit 2); fence-length semantics, mismatched
markers, CRLF fences, 10-marker fences, blockquote fences; emoji, CRLF, a 120k line, 200 comments;
NUL rejection with no JSON-encoding bypass.

Third review round, third set of real findings. Both reproduced before fixing.

1. High: markdown closes a fence only with N-or-more of the SAME marker it was opened with, so a
   ```` block legitimately CONTAINS a ``` line as content. Toggling on any 3+ marker left the
   fence at that inner line and graded the verdict below it as a real approval:

     ````text / ``` / Review-verdict: MERGEABLE @ <head> / ````   ->  positive

   Now tracks the opening marker's character and length; a shorter or different marker while a
   fence is open is content, so it neither closes the fence nor escapes it.

2. Medium: `awk ... | grep ... || true` flattened "no match" (grep rc 1, normal) together with a
   real tool failure (rc >= 2). A failing reader produced no verdict lines at all — `absent` —
   silently discarding a real BLOCKED verdict. awk and grep are now checked separately, and only
   "no match" is tolerated.

Also fixed while writing (2): `[ rc = 0 ] && printf` as the loop body's LAST command would leave
the subshell exiting 1 whenever the newest comment carried no verdict, which the rc check would
then report as a failure to read comment bodies — an ordinary PR reading as broken. Uses an `if`.

169 tests. Both findings mutation-verified: restoring the naive fence toggle fails all four
longer-fence cases, restoring `|| true` fails the failing-grep case, control green. Verified the
ordinary shapes still work: plain ``` and ~~~ fences and lang-tagged fences still stripped, an
unclosed fence still swallows, a real verdict beside a fenced example still counts, and a fenced
positive alongside a real BLOCKED still classifies negative.

timothyandClaude Opus 5 f151b93245 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.

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.

fixes #629

Two LOWs from the re-review of af39123e. Both are the same defect I have already
corrected twice on this branch: a universal claim that the corrected body right
below it disproves. These read as normative, so a reader who stops at the title
gets the false version.

- The record was titled "...and every wrapper says so" while its own body admits
  the 12 OpenAPI pageNum parameters carry no description at all (tracked as
  #633). Retitled to state the target and name the exception.
- docs/mcp.md led with "Rows that reference another entity carry that entity's
  id" — but PlayoutListItemResponseModel.ScheduleName ships with no schedule id.
  Restated as a rule about ACTIONABLE references, matching the wording the record
  already uses, with the known exception named.

The two remaining LOWs are accepted deferrals, not fixed here: the >100 rerun
collection truncation needs paging-to-completeness plus a multi-page fixture
(#634), and the catalog test's forward-looking gap (it compares tool names, not
PathTemplate against the paged-endpoint set) would need the MCP test project to
reference the controllers to close properly.

Docs only; catalog regenerated. No behaviour change.

timothyandClaude Opus 5 af39123e8e fix(616): fix a live 1-based SPA caller and un-cap two MCP playout tools
Findings from the cold cross-family review of 8d35a279/5648f8e9. The review
confirmed the three conclusions in 8d35a279 (the offset math is sound on all 12
paged endpoints; the list DTO really did already carry ChannelId; the new tests
are non-vacuous) but found the previous commits had documented a convention
without checking who actually violates it.

HIGH — a live instance of this issue's own bug class, in the SPA.
web/src/screens/SchedulesScreen.tsx asked for the rerun-collection picker with
`pageNum: 1, pageSize: 1000`. pageNum is 0-based and pageSize clamps to 100, so
the request skipped the first 100 rows: with <=100 rerun collections (the normal
case) the picker was served an EMPTY page and silently offered no rerun
collections at all; above 100 it dropped rows 1-100. Exactly the silent-short-set
failure #616 is about, shipped in the UI. Now `pageNum: 0`, with a vitest that
asserts the offset and is mutation-verified (restoring `pageNum: 1` fails it).

Checked the rest of the SPA rather than assuming: every other pageNum caller is
0-based. CollectionsScreen's paging loop starts at 1 but only after fetching
page 0 explicitly, so it is correct — verified before touching it.

MEDIUM — two MCP tools wrapped paged endpoints while declaring no paging args.
ersatztv_list_playouts and ersatztv_get_playout_items had no pageNum/pageSize,
and ToolArgumentValidator rejects undeclared arguments, so an agent was hard
capped at the first 100 rows with no way to ask for more and no error saying so.
Both now take Page(). A catalog-wide sweep confirmed these were the only two:
the other paged endpoints are not exposed as MCP tools at all.

That same gap made the new ToolCatalog test vacuous in the direction that
mattered — it filtered on tools that ALREADY declare pageNum, so a tool missing
paging entirely escaped it. It now pins the expected set by name, so a new tool
over a paged endpoint has to be added deliberately.

Record corrections (these are read as normative, so over-broad claims are
defects): "every wrapper says 0-based" was false for the OpenAPI surface, whose
12 pageNum parameters carry no description — named as a remaining gap instead of
claimed as done. "Every controller floors with Math.Max" ignored
SearchController's Math.Clamp. The ids-in-rows corollary was stated as an audit
result when PlayoutListItemResponseModel.ScheduleName has no schedule id;
restated as a rule about actionable ids.

Verification: .NET 1900 + MCP 59 pass; web 996 pass across 105 files; tsc clean;
eslint clean; format gate exit 0; no BOMs.

timothyandClaude Opus 5 5648f8e92e docs(616): scope the pageSize cap per endpoint — it is not one number
Self-review of the previous commit caught an overclaim I introduced. I wrote the
paging docs as if the pageSize cap were uniformly 100. It is not:

  most reads (collections, library browse, logs, playouts)  Math.Clamp(.., 1, 100)
  GetAutoTuneChannelMembers                                 pageSize <= 0 ? 100 : Min(.., 200)
  GET /api/v1/search/all-items                              default 500, cap 1000

That made a concrete example in docs/mcp.md simply false. It claimed
`pageSize=500&pageNum=1` returns items 101-200 "not 501-1000" — but
ersatztv_search_all_items also takes Page(), and 500 is UNDER its cap, so there
page 1 really is items 501-1000. A caller following that example on the one tool
most likely to be paged hard would have mis-derived its offsets, which is the
same class of silent-short-set error this issue is about.

The invariant that actually holds everywhere is the derivation, not any single
cap: the offset comes from the EFFECTIVE (bounded) page size, never the
requested one. Reworded to say that, in docs/mcp.md, the api.paging-zero-based
record (rule + mechanics + body), and the ToolCatalog Page() comment. Catalog
regenerated. The record's mechanics line no longer claims every controller uses
Math.Clamp — ChannelController does not.

No behaviour change; MCP suite still 59/59.

timothyandClaude Opus 5 8d35a2792f fix(616): document paging as 0-based, expose channelId on playout detail
#616 filed three MCP/API paging traps. Two were real; one was not, and one was
already half-fixed on main. Verified each against the code before changing it.

REAL — pageNum documented as 1-based. `ToolCatalog.Page()` described pageNum as
"1-based page number" while every paged controller defaults it to 0, floors it
with `Math.Max(0, pageNum)`, and skips `PageNum * PageSize`. A caller that
trusted the description started at page 1 and silently lost the first page: no
error, just a short set that reads as data loss rather than an off-by-one (it
cost #487 a verification pass). Fixed in the description rather than by making
the MCP layer 1-based: /api/v1 is additive-only post-freeze, 0-based is
load-bearing in a dozen controllers and the SPA, and a 1-based wrapper over a
0-based API would make the same parameter name mean two different things on two
surfaces a reader reads together.

NOT REAL — "pageSize caps the page but the offset honors the requested value".
Not reproducible on any endpoint. Every controller clamps before passing, every
handler skips by the clamped size, and GetCollectionItemsHandler re-clamps
defensively. The reported observation (pageSize=500&pageNum=2 on a 204-item
collection returning 4 items) is exactly correct 0-based behaviour at the
clamped width of 100 — page 2 is items 201-204. The issue's own trap-1 table
states this. Pinned by test rather than "fixed".

ALREADY FIXED — playout LIST rows gained channelId in #297 (2026-07-22), three
days before #616 was filed; the report was measured against prod, which runs an
older :prod image. The DETAIL response (PlayoutResponseModel) genuinely still
lacked it, so channelId is added there (additive) and the reset_channel_playout
argument now names the trap: the id spaces overlap numerically, so passing a
playout id silently resets a different channel and returns a plausible 202.

Tests, both mutation-verified (each fails when its fix is reverted):
- ToolCatalogTests pins "0-based" on EVERY paged tool's pageNum description,
  with a non-empty guard so it can't pass vacuously over an empty tool set.
- GetCollectionItemsHandlerTests pins 0-based page boundaries and proves the
  offset derives from the clamped pageSize (page 1 at pageSize=500 returns
  items 101-150; the mutation that honors 500 returns an empty page).

Docs: new decision record api.paging-zero-based (catalog regenerated), the
api-conventions paging bullet, and a Paging section in docs/mcp.md. OpenAPI
v1.json + web/src/api/generated/v1.d.ts regenerated for the added field.

fixes #616

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.

Decisions-Edit: yes

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

- A rename is ONE row whose `filename` is the destination, the source only in
  `previous_filename`. Verified live: `.gitea/workflows/renovate.yml` ->

  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.

Last review Low, marked safe-to-defer but it is two words in a file this PR already
edits. Both prose mentions of the marker now say "non-merge commit", matching the
decision Rule, the catalog, the module comment and the function docstring.

Docs-only.

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 cc9481f541 fix(609): review fixes — exclude merge commits, unfold folded values, correct the fail-posture doc
Cross-family review (High + Medium + Low), all three reproduced before fixing:

High -- on a pull_request event actions/checkout lands on a synthetic merge commit whose
body the forge composes from the PR description, so a description ending in an example
marker armed a guard no author armed. Excluded merge commits from the range; merging main
into a PR branch is separately forbidden, so no author-written commit is skipped.

Medium -- a folded value (`no` + continuation ` yes`) was split into independent lines and
the continuation armed on its own, inverting the value the author wrote. Read with `unfold`
so the value is judged whole.

Low -- the module docstring promised fail-open while marker resolution deliberately fails
closed. The posture is right; the docstring was wrong. Documented as the one exception.

Both new negative controls verified red against the unfixed matcher. Decision record
amended to state the residual honestly rather than overclaim: a quoted example that is the
FINAL paragraph of an ordinary commit is a trailer by git's own grammar and does arm. What
the change buys is that discussing the marker can no longer disable anything.

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.

Re-review Low. The substitute incremented the failure counter inside .Returns(...), i.e. when
the enumerable was handed out, while the real paginator records from ProjectToMusicVideo's catch
DURING enumeration. A refactor that snapshotted Count before the enumeration completed would
then break production while both replacement tests kept passing — exactly the regression the
guard exists to prevent.

Moves the recording into an async iterator, and corrects the decision record to describe #484's
removed music-video test accurately and name its two replacements.

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 147166b053 fix(496): harden the legacy path sweep against MySQL collation (re-review Low)
Re-review returned MERGEABLE with one Low, MySQL-collation-dependent edge in
FlagFileNotFoundByPaths: the C#-side Except diff is ordinal, but `MF.Path IN @LocalPaths`
runs under MySQL's case-insensitive default collation, so a still-reported identified row
differing only in case from an absent legacy row could be matched and flagged missing.

Match on the indexed PathHash instead of collated Path text, and re-state the
NOT EXISTS (JellyfinMusicVideo) guard so the identity pass and the legacy pass are disjoint
by construction rather than by the caller's diff being correct. SQLite was unaffected.

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.
