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.

security.baseline-response-headers 2026-07-11 — Baseline security response headers + Phase-0 API hardening (#197, PR #279) active 2026-07-11 none none `SecurityHeadersMiddleware`, registered first in the pipeline, sets `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`, `X-Frame-Options: DENY`, and `Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin` on every response (CSP/HSTS deliberately deferred); API-key comparison is constant-time and playout pagination is clamped. security headers, nosniff, Phase-0 hardening, constant-time comparison · paths: `ErsatzTV/Middleware/SecurityHeadersMiddleware` · issues: #197, #279, #283 `ErsatzTV/Middleware/SecurityHeadersMiddleware`

Phase-0 of the #197 remediation — the posture-independent safe subset, shipped ahead of the fail-closed/CORS/versioning posture work tracked in #280#289.

  • Baseline security headers on every response. New ErsatzTV/Middleware/SecurityHeadersMiddleware, registered first in the pipeline (before the /iptv MapWhen branch and UseCors), so it covers /api, /iptv, /artwork, static, the SPA fallback, and filter-produced 4xx alike — which is why it's middleware, not an MVC filter. It sets X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, X-Frame-Options: DENY, and Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin. nosniff is the standing backstop for the artwork content-type MIME-sniffing risk (#283). CSP and HSTS are deliberately NOT included here: CSP must be validated against the ChicoryTV SPA's inline assets, and HSTS is a proxy/TLS-termination decision — both belong to the #197 posture design (#284/roadmap), not this baseline. Headers are set eagerly (not via Response.OnStarting); safe today because the pipeline has no UseExceptionHandler/UseStatusCodePages that would Response.Clear() — switch to OnStarting if one is ever added.
  • Constant-time API-key comparison. ApiKeyAuthorizationFilter compares X-Api-Key with CryptographicOperations.FixedTimeEquals (over UTF-8 bytes) instead of ordinal string.Equals, removing the response-timing oracle on the write key. Accept/reject behavior is otherwise identical.
  • Playout pagination clamped. GET /api/playouts and GET /api/playouts/{id}/items now clamp Math.Clamp(pageSize, 1, 100) + Math.Max(0, pageNum) before the query — applying the api-conventions §1 clamp convention the other paged endpoints already follow (these two were passing the raw client value straight to EF Take()).

The larger #197 posture (fail-closed writes, sensitive-read auth tier, CORS lockdown, /api/v1 versioning, the OpenAPI security scheme) is decomposed into #280#289 with the phased roadmap on #197; those PRs will append their own decisions here as they land.
