Two independent cold reviews (one cross-family) agreed on the top two findings. 1. The #688 fix was defeated by its own complement test. test_main_is_QUIET_about_ drift asserted the drift notice was ABSENT while running main() over the LIVE corpus — whose failure condition is bit-for-bit v4's assertion, in the same blocking job, three functions down. p90 sat exactly on 60, so one over-ceiling record would have reddened it. Replaced with an IFF test that uses ceiling_calibration as its oracle, so it asserts the WIRING rather than the corpus's current state, plus a guard that at least one branch fires. 2. The coarse bound was nearly unfalsifiable. `0 < fraction_over < 1/3` accepted EVERY ceiling from 39 to 229 on the real corpus — including the ceiling of 200 my own docstring offered as the case it catches, because one 230-line record keeps the count nonzero. That claim was simply false and is corrected. The floor is now a FRACTION (2%) and the cap 25%, which rejects 200/229/230 and 20, and accepts roughly 45..150. Headroom measured, not estimated: 37 consecutive over-ceiling additions, against ONE record to break v4. 3. yaml.safe_load raises a bare ValueError, not a YAMLError, on a well-shaped but impossible date (stale-after: 2026-06-31), which escaped as a traceback and killed the validator on any machine with PyYAML. The except is now deliberately broad, with a test. 4. PyYAML returns TYPED mapping keys, so a stray `1: x` made sorted(set|set) raise TypeError. Sorted with key=str. 5. The headroom prose was arithmetically wrong (~42/~40 where the real values are 63/64; each addition moves numerator AND denominator) and the record counts were stale. Corrected against measurement. 6. test_adding_ordinary_records passed identically with its two additions removed. It now asserts the additions were counted, and that they break the v4 property while leaving v5 satisfied — guarded by `if`, never asserted, since whether v4 currently holds is a fact about the live distribution and asserting it would rebuild the ratchet. Also recorded honestly in docs.frontmatter-pyyaml-crosscheck: decisions-guard installs no PyYAML, so in CI the cross-check always skips and script-tests already caught both hazards — the CI delta is close to zero and the real fix is the local loop plus the tool/suite agreement. And the new record was trimmed 64 -> 58 prose lines: at 64 it moved p90 to 64 by itself, i.e. this PR would have reddened the old blocking job. That is now cited in the test as the live demonstration. Verification: 426 scripts/tests pass; ruff at baseline parity (47); validator exits 0; corpus back to p90=60, 18/183 over the ceiling, marks_tail and flags_minority both true.

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.

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:
- Current conventions/decisions → catalog-first. Start at
docs/decisions/README.md; discover via theErsatzTV-Decisionswing (active) /ErsatzTV-Decisions-Archive(superseded/retired). Resolve by topic/key, never by chasing a file path. - Issue history → evidence, not authority. The
Gitea-ErsatzTVwing is historical narrative that may be stale; it never overrides current Markdown. - The breadcrumb rule (the crux behavior change). A file path named inside a historical issue
comment (e.g. "grep
docs/decisions.md2026-07-17", "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 ownstatus: 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.) - Fallback when MemPalace is stale/down:
docs/decisions/README.mdcatalog, thenrg '^`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".
