docs(handoff): fix queue-drift root cause — live Gitea state is the sole source of truth
Recent session pickups re-did finished work (thought closed issues were
still open). Root cause: DONE/OPEN status lived in append-only prose (arc
inline markers + each comment's 'Recommended next'), which lags real issue
state — worst across parallel sessions narrating each other's merges.

Kickoff prompt fixes:
- SOURCE OF TRUTH = live Gitea state, never prose; verify OPEN (issue AND
  milestone) before claiming.
- Gate/frontier defined structurally (lowest-numbered open arc item), not
  hardcoded to an issue number (an earlier pass re-planted the bug by
  hardcoding '#197 cluster'/'#91b milestone CLOSED').
- Label-based ranking: arc order -> gate(review label/milestone) -> priority.
- Pick order across arc-frontier / priority-pickup / audit pools.
- Bound the comment read (~6 newest); MCP-down REST fallback; #237 canonical.
- New lore bullet capturing the drift root cause + structural cure.

Companion edits to tracker #237 body (prune arc status -> 'Done (history)'
section) made live; noted in a session comment there.

docs/ — reading order

Purpose: index of docs/ so a fresh contributor/agent knows what to read and in what order. Update this doc in the same PR that adds, removes, or retitles a doc below.

Read in this order at session start:

  1. CLAUDE.md (repo root) — project intro: architecture, layout, dev commands, conventions.
  2. 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.
  3. docs/domain-model.md — what the app IS: entity glossary, channel→playout→schedule/block concept map, where each concept is edited in the SPA.
  4. docs/api-conventions.md — checklist for adding/changing a /api/* endpoint (controllers, DTOs, error mapping, auth, OpenAPI regen, tests).
  5. docs/spa-conventions.md — playbook for adding a screen to the ChicoryTV React SPA.
  6. docs/e2e-local.md (+ scripts/e2e-local.sh) — how to run a live local instance for manual or Playwright-MCP verification.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. docs/decisions.md — append-only "why" log. Check here before challenging an existing convention.
  10. docs/ci-cd.md — build/test/release pipeline, versioning, dependency management.

Also present in docs/:

  • 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/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 (goal, arc, what's in flight/next) lives in the pinned Gitea tracker ersatztv#237 — read that, not this file, for current state (protocol: decisions.md 2026-07-11).
  • docs/handoffs/rest-api.md — original handoff prompt for kicking off the REST API work (#2).
