docs(524): triage #237's 111 comments — no decision retrofit is owed
Exhaustive triage of the closed tracker ersatztv#237, whose 111 comments
server-management#642 excludes from MemPalace ingestion (over the per-file
cap) and #520 removes from startup. #524's premise was that facts living only
in those comments would be orphaned and need curating into lifecycle records.

Result: zero decision-shaped orphans. Every durable decision-shaped fact is
already held by the decision corpus or by the individual issue the comment
narrates -- which the exporter does ingest. The tracker was always the lossy
copy, because the session protocol required the fuller closing record on the
worked issue first.

- docs/decisions.md: new active record docs.tracker-comment-retrofit, leading
  with the reusable rule (check the worked issue BEFORE the decision corpus)
  and the consequence for #642's benchmark row, which has no valid subject.
- docs/tracker-retrofit-triage-237.md: the audit trail -- method, per-comment
  classification of all 111, totals, and the one candidate raised and
  disproved (#497's Guids/Directors scope, stated more fully on its own issue).
- docs/handoffs/chicorytv-issue-queue.md: sweeps the two genuinely orphaned
  LORE facts the triage surfaced (e2e-local.sh readiness probe hanging on a
  reused config dir; troubleshooting playback cannot exercise channel branding).
- docs/README.md: index the new doc.

The claim is deliberately narrow: no *decision-shaped* orphans. The lore bucket
was classified but not coverage-checked, and it was not empty -- hence the sweep.

# docs/ — task-signal map
Purpose: route a fresh contributor/agent to the minimal set of docs for the task at hand, instead of
a mandatory front-to-back read. **Update this doc in the same PR that adds, removes, or retitles a
doc below, or that changes which sections a task signal points to.**
## Start here, always
- **`CLAUDE.md`** (repo root) — project intro: architecture, layout, dev commands, conventions,
Task Completion Protocol.
- **`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.
## Task signal → minimal sections
| Signal | Read |
| --- | --- |
| Session startup / "what's next" (no issue named) | `docs/handoffs/chicorytv-issue-queue.md` (standing kickoff — two concurrent tracks: orientation ‖ `scripts/select-queue.sh 5`) |
| Named-issue pickup | Skip queue selection; go straight to focused retrieval — see "Knowledge retrieval" below, then the issue body |
| Adding/changing a `/api/*` endpoint | `docs/api-conventions.md` checklist + `docs/endpoint-index.md` |
| Adding a ChicoryTV SPA screen | `docs/spa-conventions.md` |
| Scheduling / playout engine work | `docs/domain-model.md` + decisions catalog rows keyed `sched.*` (`docs/decisions/README.md`) |
| Concurrency / optimistic-locking work | `docs/api-conventions.md` §7a/b/c + `docs/decisions/optimistic-concurrency.md` |
| Auth / security-surface work | `docs/decisions/api-auth-security.md` |
| CI / release pipeline work | `docs/ci-cd.md` + `docs/decisions/release-ci-governance.md` |
| Live local run / Playwright-MCP verification | `docs/e2e-local.md` + `scripts/e2e-local.sh` |
| What does a test suite cover | `docs/testing.md` |
| Legacy Blazor route lookup | `docs/blazor-route-parity.md` (historical #91 phase (b) inventory) |
| "Why do we do X this way" / challenging a convention | **Catalog-first**: `docs/decisions/README.md` (active rows) → `docs/decisions.md` + `docs/decisions/*.md` for full rationale. `docs/decisions/archive/` only for "what did the rule used to be." |
## Knowledge retrieval (MemPalace + catalog + Gitea)
These four rules are the seam agreed with server-management#642 (the Gitea→MemPalace exporter).
They apply whether the question comes up via MemPalace, a grep, or a stale comment:
1. **Current conventions/decisions → catalog-first.** Start at `docs/decisions/README.md`; discover
via the `ErsatzTV-Decisions` wing (active) / `ErsatzTV-Decisions-Archive` (superseded/retired).
**Resolve by topic/key, never by chasing a file path.**
2. **Issue history → evidence, not authority.** The `Gitea-ErsatzTV` wing is historical narrative
that may be stale; it never overrides current Markdown.
3. **The breadcrumb rule (the crux behavior change).** A file path named inside a *historical issue
comment* (e.g. "grep `docs/decisions.md` 2026-07-17", "see …") is a **breadcrumb, not a live
pointer.** Find the current rule via the catalog / active wing **by concept**; do not treat the
named path as current. (Why it's safe: still-current → in the active wing, breadcrumb resolves;
superseded → the active wing returns the *successor* and a literal follow lands on a record that
announces its own `status: superseded`; retired → the active wing returns nothing, which is
itself the signal. The validator-enforced move-to-`archive/` is what prevents the catastrophic
"superseded rule read as current" case.)
4. **Fallback when MemPalace is stale/down:** `docs/decisions/README.md` catalog, then
`` rg '^`key: <dotted.key>`' docs/decisions/ ``. MemPalace is never authority nor sole fallback.
MemPalace is candidate discovery only — every passage is verified against its cited Markdown/Gitea
source before use. Never derive live queue state from MemPalace, #237, or historical comments; queue
state is live Gitea state, retrieved via `scripts/select-queue.sh` (see
`docs/handoffs/chicorytv-issue-queue.md`). Full retrieval contract (altitude/precedence, staleness
bounds, what's mined per issue): `docs/handoffs/chicorytv-issue-queue.md` → "Knowledge retrieval".
## Also present in `docs/`
- **`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 `*.Tests` project / `web` suite 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`** + **`docs/decisions/*.md`** — active decision records (lifecycle schema:
key/status/since/supersedes/superseded-by). **Generated active view**: `docs/decisions/README.md`
(catalog / task router) — start there. Superseded/retired records live in
`docs/decisions/archive/` and are read only for history, never for "what is the current rule."
- **`docs/ci-cd.md`** — build/test/release pipeline, versioning, dependency management.
- **`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/mcp.md`** — the `ErsatzTV.Mcp` stdio JSON-RPC MCP server (#58): how it wraps `/api/v1` as
read + cautious-write tools, its config/env vars, auth, security posture, and the tool catalog.
- **`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 is **live Gitea state**, retrieved each session via `scripts/select-queue.sh` — see
that file's standing kickoff for the two concurrent tracks (orientation ‖ selection). ersatztv#237
is a closed, archival historical tracker (superseded by `startup.parallel-orientation` in
`docs/decisions.md`) — not a live pointer.
- **`docs/tracker-retrofit-triage-237.md`** — audit trail for the #524 triage of ersatztv#237's 111
comments (method, per-comment classification, totals). Evidence for the
`docs.tracker-comment-retrofit` decision; read it only when triaging another over-cap tracker.
- **`docs/handoffs/rest-api.md`** — original handoff prompt for kicking off the REST API work (#2).
