Fourth cold review: no Blockers, 2 High / 2 Medium / 2 Low. It independently re-derived the population (59 files, 59 sites, 69 rows, 3 PINNED) and verified every numeric and factual claim in the diff, including the corrected confinement rationale. THE ONE THAT STINGS. The grant reason string still said a commit pushed before Gitea merges "will clear it and block the merge" — the exact sentence the new decision record quotes as THE overclaim this issue exists to remove. I documented it in three files and left it in the code a human actually reads. It now states the guarantee and its condition: the required check was confirmed rather than assumed, and it holds while that branch protection stands. FIXED HERE (all in files this PR already touches): - enable_status_check is validated as a BOOLEAN. `"true"` is not `true`, and comparing the string to `true` produced a confident deny from a payload never understood — the tri-state collapsing to two, the same defect as the contexts shape one line down. - `.statuses` members are validated, not just the array (see the honest caveat below). - the docs-reminder N/A rationale said "the job cannot fail and never reaches the combined status", which is false — any job's status joins the combined state. The true, narrower reason is that its fetch and diff are failure-swallowed, so the remote read can only change the warning's wording. - docs/README names the scripts/tests exclusion in BOTH statements. A VACUOUS TEST, CAUGHT BY ITS OWN MUTATION PROOF. The regression case for the `.statuses` member validation stays GREEN against the predecessor: the #632 base-retarget block runs first and already validates every member it consumes, so it catches the payload before the scheduled branch is reached. The two guards overlap — duplicate guards masking each other, again — which makes that finding LATENT, not live, and my added clause defence-in-depth rather than a fix. The test now asserts the observable contract (a decision is always emitted) and says plainly that it is not a mutation proof of the newer clause. Shipping it as one would have been the exact grade inflation round 2 rejected. DEFERRED to #803, with the reason stated rather than implied: a head-ABA (force-push H1 -> H2 -> H1 during pagination) defeats pr-changed-files.sh, and three OLDER contracts still assert more than the new inventory rows do. That residual predates #778 and lives in #707's mechanism; correcting another active decision record inside a PR already at four review rounds is how a scoped change stops being reviewable. The inventory rows are accurate today and now point at #803. refs #778 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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 |
| Proposing a new guard / CI check / regression test convention | docs/defect-shapes-773.md §4 (detector menu + the classes where no detector is plausible), then the two rules every guard must satisfy: docs/decisions/records/testing/guard-derives-population-from-source.md and …/guard-ships-with-mutation-proof.md |
| Adding / changing / deleting a guard file | docs/guard-inventory.md — every guard's row is machine-checked by scripts/tests/test_guard_inventory.py, so a new guard must acquire a row before the suite goes green |
| Writing code that reads live Gitea/remote state and then acts on it | docs/decisions/records/process/check-and-use-pins-a-version.md, then docs/remote-state-inventory.md — a new executable under scripts/ (excluding scripts/tests/), .claude/hooks/, .husky/ or .gitea/workflows/ must acquire a row there before scripts/tests/test_remote_state_inventory.py goes green |
| Finding every site that references a symbol (multi-site fix/sweep) | docs/local-lsp-tooling.md — which surface answers, and why a delegated agent must be pointed at the csharp-lsp MCP tools rather than the LSP tool |
| Live local run / Playwright-MCP verification | docs/e2e-local.md + scripts/e2e-local.sh |
| Adding/changing a UI-E2E browser flow | docs/e2e-local.md → "UI-E2E harness" + scripts/e2e-ui.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) → follow the row's link to docs/decisions/records/<area>/<topic>.md for full rationale. docs/decisions/archive/<area>/ 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:
- 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".

Code outside those directories — C#/TypeScript guards,web/, and the test suites themselves — is out of scope, and the doc states that rather than implying coverage. The population is derived from the filesystem and compared for set equality byscripts/tests/test_remote_state_inventory.py, so a new script that talks to a remote service cannot ship unclassified.

The population is derived from the filesystem and the workflow/hook call sites and compared for set equality byscripts/tests/test_guard_inventory.py, so a new guard cannot ship unclassified and a renamed test cannot leave a row claiming coverage it has lost. Guards implemented inline in workflow YAML are deliberately outside that population — the doc states the limit rather than implying coverage.docs/tracker-retrofit-triage-237.md— audit trail for the #524 triage of ersatztv#237's 111 comments (method, per-comment classification, totals).
