feat(610): split the decision corpus into one YAML-frontmatter file per record
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.

release.api-contract-ci-gate 2026-07-12 — Blocking CI gate for API-contract artifacts (#303 H4/H5) active 2026-07-12 none none A PR touching `ErsatzTV/Controllers/Api/**` or `ErsatzTV.Core/Api/**` must ship regenerated OpenAPI artifacts (`v1.json`, `v1.d.ts`, `endpoint-index.md`) in the same diff, enforced by a blocking `api-docs` CI job that regenerates-and-diffs against a fresh build. OpenAPI drift gate, blocking CI, api-docs job · paths: `ErsatzTV/wwwroot/openapi/v1.json`, `web/src/api/generated/v1.d.ts`, `docs/endpoint-index.md` · issues: #303 (H4/H5) `docs/api-conventions.md` §5; `scripts/update-openapi.sh`; `.gitea/workflows` `api-docs` job

A PR whose diff touches ErsatzTV/Controllers/Api/** or ErsatzTV.Core/Api/** must ship the regenerated OpenAPI artifacts in that same diff, enforced by a blocking api-docs CI job. It rebuilds ErsatzTV/wwwroot/openapi/v1.json, web/src/api/generated/v1.d.ts, and docs/endpoint-index.md from source and fails on any drift. This mechanizes the previously prose-only "docs-update in the same PR" rule for the API contract (the docs-reminder job stays a non-blocking nudge for the route-parity doc). Path-gated inside the job (not via a top-level if:) so it always reports a status on every PR — API-free PRs skip the expensive regen and pass trivially, so it is safe as a required check. Rationale: generation is deterministic from a fresh build (verified — a clean checkout reproduces the committed spec exactly, including the 244 auth security/401 blocks), so CI can trust regenerate-and-diff. The one caveat is local-only: update-openapi.sh runs dotnet-getdocument against the already-built assembly, so a stale bin/ silently yields a stale spec — always dotnet build first (see api-conventions.md §5). CI is immune (no bin/ on a fresh checkout).
