Retire the line-level append-only mechanic (ersatztv#303 H9) in favor of the lifecycle validator built in Tasks 1-5. .claude/hooks/decisions-guard.sh is now a thin fail-open shim around scripts/decisions_validate.py; .husky/pre-commit calls it for the structural (working-tree) checks, .husky/commit-msg drops the old staged/[decisions-edit]-deletion block and keeps only the Co-Authored-By check. The Gitea decisions-guard job is renamed "decisions lifecycle" and now runs decisions_validate.py --base/--head (structural + body-diff + no-vanish) and build_decisions_catalog.py --check (active catalog drift), with actions/setup-python@v5 added since the bare `small` lane doesn't guarantee python3; the old 1800-line consolidation-floor step is removed (replaced by the validator's aggregate active-corpus budget). docs/decisions.md's header is rewritten from append-only to lifecycle framing (metadata schema, statuses, generated catalog, archive, same-PR supersession); [decisions-edit] is re-scoped (not removed) to rationale-prose edits/factual corrections only. docs/ci-cd.md's release ritual and hook/job descriptions are rewritten to match. Also fixes a pre-existing validator false-positive surfaced while sanity-checking against origin/main: Task 6's #303 H9/H3 split (commit d09be57e) renamed the archived record's heading away from the pre-split original, which the validator's heading-based relocation check reads as "removed without an archive copy." Restored the archived heading to match the original text (functionally unchanged — still status: superseded, same key) and updated the two prose cross-references (migration-map.md, release-ci-governance.md) that pointed at the old anchor. PR1 scope only (per brief): does NOT wire the kickoff-guard CI step or touch the kickoff/README/select-queue docs — that's Task 8/PR2.

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:
CLAUDE.md(repo root) — project intro: architecture, layout, dev commands, conventions.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.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*.Testsproject /websuite 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— append-only "why" log. Check here before challenging an existing convention. Start from its Index, which links the four topic files underdocs/decisions/(large same-topic clusters) and lists the remaining in-file entries.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 bydocs/api-conventions.md; read this for the original rationale.docs/mcp.md— theErsatzTV.Mcpstdio JSON-RPC MCP server (#58): how it wraps/api/v1as 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 byscripts/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).
