timothyandClaude Opus 4.8 275908ec11 fix(locking): atomic EntityLocker flags + single-owner release contract (#231)
The six plain-bool lock flags (Plex, Trakt, Emby/Jellyfin/Plex collections,
troubleshooting playback) used a non-atomic check-then-set, so two concurrent
Lock* callers could both win. Convert them to int flags mutated only via
Interlocked.CompareExchange, so the caller that wins the 0->1 transition is the
sole owner and the only one that fires the change event. The three
ConcurrentDictionary-backed kinds (Library/Playout/RemoteMediaSource) were
already atomic; drop their redundant ContainsKey pre-checks.

Define the ownership contract (tokenless single-owner discipline, no interface
change) on IEntityLocker and in docs/decisions.md: a true from Lock* confers
ownership of exactly one release; Unlock* on an unlocked slot returns false,
fires no event, and logs a warning (the double-release / non-owner tripwire).

Adds EntityLockerTests (real locker, parallel-caller races) proving exactly one
winner per kind, one-releaser-per-slot, and event-fires-once-per-transition.

Ref #231. Scan-lifecycle call-site fixes that consume this contract land in the
same PR (#232); the BuildPlayout/subtitle finally-gating is #234.

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:

  1. CLAUDE.md (repo root) — project intro: architecture, layout, dev commands, conventions.
  2. docs/contributing.md — established code patterns (CQRS/MediatR, LanguageExt, Blazor/ MudBlazor, EF Core dual-provider migrations, FFmpeg pipeline, analyzers, testing). Read before any non-trivial change.
  3. docs/domain-model.md — what the app IS: entity glossary, channel→playout→schedule/block concept map, where each concept is edited in the SPA.
  4. docs/api-conventions.md — checklist for adding/changing a /api/* endpoint (controllers, DTOs, error mapping, auth, OpenAPI regen, tests).
  5. docs/spa-conventions.md — playbook for adding a screen to the ChicoryTV React SPA.
  6. docs/e2e-local.md (+ scripts/e2e-local.sh) — how to run a live local instance for manual or Playwright-MCP verification.
  7. docs/testing.md — testing map: what each *.Tests project / web suite covers, golden-file nets, the timezone-independence rule, how to run subsets, the per-PR verification gate.
  8. docs/blazor-route-parity.md — the #91 phase (b) tracker: which Blazor routes are redirected, SPA-ready-but-not-redirected, or still Blazor-only (and which issue blocks each).
  9. docs/decisions.md — append-only "why" log. Check here before challenging an existing convention.
  10. 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 by docs/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 by scripts/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).
