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.

sched.clock-padding-schedule-toggle 2026-07-22 — per-schedule clock-boundary padding is a synthetic content-less Pad over the existing per-episode machinery (#392) active 2026-07-22 none none A `ProgramSchedule.PadToNearestMinute` (nullable int; null = off) makes the Classic builder pad every content item up to the next N-minute clock boundary without a hand-wired Pad `FillerPreset`, by reusing the existing per-content-item Pad path in `PlayoutModeSchedulerBase.AddFiller`. It extends — does not supersede — `sched.clock-padding-existing` (#77/#388). per-schedule clock padding, PadToNearestMinute on ProgramSchedule, offline gap on pad, ClockPadOfflineTarget, synthetic Pad without FillerPreset · paths: `PlayoutModeSchedulerBase.AddFiller`, `PlayoutSchedulerResult.ClockPadOfflineTarget`, `FallbackFillerForPad`, `/app/schedules` · issues: #392, #77, #388 `PlayoutBuildGoldenTests` (One/Flood/Duration/Multiple clock-pad cases), midnight-crossing invariant tests

A ProgramSchedule.PadToNearestMinute (nullable int; null = off) makes the Classic builder pad every content item up to the next N-minute clock boundary WITHOUT a hand-wired Pad FillerPreset. It reuses the existing per-content-item Pad path (PlayoutModeSchedulerBase.AddFiller, already called once per emitted item): a self-contained synthetic branch engages only when the item has no own FillerMode.Pad filler (the item's Pad wins — no double-pad) and the parent schedule declares a positive divisor. The gap fills with the schedule item's FallbackFiller via the existing FallbackFillerForPad; when no fallback content exists, the branch records an offline target and the four schedulers advance PlayoutBuilderState.CurrentTime to the boundary, leaving an implicit offline gap (the same representation fixed-start items use — absence of a PlayoutItem, rendered as "Channel is Offline" at stream time). That advance is carried by a transient per-build PlayoutSchedulerResult.ClockPadOfflineTarget (never serialized — no anchor schema, no migration); the day-seam anchor clamp is exempted by exact equality with that target.

This is the per-schedule convenience layer deferred behind #388 in sched.clock-padding-existing; that record's per-item Pad-preset behavior is unchanged. Determinism needs no new anchor/seed state (the pad math is a pure function of offsets). Coverage is per-scheduler-mode (One/Flood/Duration/Multiple) via golden and invariant tests across midnight crossings. The SPA schedule editor exposes it as a 5/10/15/30/60 minute picker; TZ-independence holds only for divisors of 60. See #77 (prior art) and #392.
