Clears the still-live findings from #172 (verified against main; #2/#4/#7 and the auth/search/Trakt tail were already deliberate-documented or fixed since 2026-07-07). - Null/empty Name → 500 (10 create/replace handlers). Block/Template/DecoTemplate/Deco Create+Replace/Update + UpdateFFmpegProfile did `request.Name.Length > 50` on a client-nullable string → unhandled NullReferenceException → HTTP 500 (no global exception filter). Now `string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(request.Name) || .Length > 50` → 422; also rejects empty/whitespace names, matching the group-create handlers' NotEmpty behavior. CreatePlaylist coalesces null→"" at the DTO so it was an empty-name persist, not a 500; guarded the same way. - ReplaceTemplateItems overlap validation iterated with an `item == otherItem` record value-equality skip, so two exact-duplicate items were value-equal and bypassed the intersection check (both persisted). Now index-based (i != j) so duplicates register as a self-intersection and are rejected 422. - Trimmed the unreachable 404 ProducesResponseType from POST /api/blocks/groups and POST /api/templates/groups (a create has no parent lookup that can 404); v1.json regenerated. - Regression tests: all 10 name-guard paths + the duplicate-items path (19 cases). - Docs: decisions.md entry + api-conventions.md §3b null-safe-validation bullet. fixes #172 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
docs/ — reading order
Purpose: index of docs/ so a fresh contributor/agent knows what to read and in what order.
Update this doc in the same PR that adds, removes, or retitles a doc below.
Read in this order at session start:
CLAUDE.md(repo root) — project intro: architecture, layout, dev commands, conventions.docs/contributing.md— established code patterns (CQRS/MediatR, LanguageExt, the ChicoryTV SPA, EF Core dual-provider migrations, FFmpeg pipeline, analyzers, testing). Read before any non-trivial change.docs/domain-model.md— what the app IS: entity glossary, channel→playout→schedule/block concept map, where each concept is edited in the SPA.docs/api-conventions.md— checklist for adding/changing a/api/*endpoint (controllers, DTOs, error mapping, auth, OpenAPI regen, tests).docs/spa-conventions.md— playbook for adding a screen to the ChicoryTV React SPA.docs/e2e-local.md(+scripts/e2e-local.sh) — how to run a live local instance for manual or Playwright-MCP verification.docs/testing.md— testing map: what each*.Testsproject /websuite covers, golden-file nets, the timezone-independence rule, how to run subsets, the per-PR verification gate.docs/blazor-route-parity.md— historical record of the completed #91 phase (b) cutover: the Blazor Server UI is removed and every legacy route now 302-redirects to its SPA equivalent (or falls through to the catch-all →/app). Read it for the full legacy→SPA route inventory.docs/decisions.md— append-only "why" log. Check here before challenging an existing convention.docs/ci-cd.md— build/test/release pipeline, versioning, dependency management.
Also present in docs/:
docs/rest-api.md— REST API design doc for ersatztv#2 (goals, conventions, per-slice plan). Largely superseded day-to-day bydocs/api-conventions.md; read this for the original rationale.docs/channels.md— Channel entity field reference.docs/m3u-xmltv.md— M3U/XMLTV generation overview (ChannelPlaylist,GetChannelGuideHandler).docs/fork-strategy.md— divergence policy vs upstream ErsatzTV.docs/design-sync.md— Claude Design ↔ repo screen workflow (#92).docs/endpoint-index.md— generated REST endpoint index (method/path/operationId/summary per OpenAPI tag). Do not edit by hand; regenerated byscripts/generate-endpoint-index.py/scripts/update-openapi.sh.docs/handoffs/chicorytv-issue-queue.md— static session kickoff prompt + workflow lore. Queue state (goal, arc, what's in flight/next) lives in the pinned Gitea tracker ersatztv#237 — read that, not this file, for current state (protocol: decisions.md 2026-07-11).docs/handoffs/rest-api.md— original handoff prompt for kicking off the REST API work (#2).
