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.

spa.channels-screen-extraction 2026-07-11 — Channels screen extraction (#244): single-file screen, no sibling helper dir (epic #243 phase 1) active 2026-07-11 none none The Channels domain is a single-file zero-prop screen (`web/src/screens/ChannelsScreen.tsx`) with a colocated test file and no sibling helper directory, since its pure logic is too small (~30 lines) to justify a separate business-rule layer like Schedules' `itemRules.ts`. screen extraction, single-file screen, no helper dir · paths: `web/src/screens/ChannelsScreen.tsx` · issues: #244, #243, #238 `docs/spa-conventions.md` §6

First bounded extraction under the App.tsx modularization epic (#243): the Channels domain moved verbatim out of web/src/App.tsx into web/src/screens/ChannelsScreen.tsx (zero-prop, self-sufficient, mirroring the SchedulesScreen extraction), with its behavior tests moved to a colocated ChannelsScreen.test.tsx that owns its own scoped fetch mock (spa-conventions §6). Pure structural move: no API/route/CSS/visual change; App.tsx retains only the import + the <ChannelsScreen /> dispatch clause.

Decision — no web/src/channels/ sibling helper directory (unlike Schedules' web/src/schedules/). Channels' pure logic (stateByChannelId, sortedChannels, groupedChannels, progressFromChannelState, formatChannelNumber) totals ~30 lines with no independent business-rule layer comparable to Schedules' itemRules.ts (~470 lines, separately unit-tested). Keeping it inside the single screen file matches the Blocks/Decos/Templates precedent. Revisit only if a later #243 phase adds substantial pure Channels logic worth isolating.

One cross-domain helper inlined, not shared: the Dashboard-owned progressFromNowPlaying (still in App.tsx, used by OnAirCard) was structurally reused by the Channels progressFromChannelState. Rather than export it from App or create a shared module, its ~5-line start/finish/now percentage math was inlined into the moved progressFromChannelState (behavior-identical — ChannelState.nowPlaying carries the same startUtc/finishUtc shape), so ChannelsScreen.tsx has no import back into App.tsx.

#238 (TopBar primaryAction dead button) left untouched — the channels route's inert ctv:primary-action dispatch is #238's owned bug and out of scope for a behavior-preserving extraction; the shell/action redesign is deferred to #247 (epic phase 4).
