timothyandClaude Opus 4.8 b1e7e08884 feat(521): rework decisions guard — lifecycle validator + narrow [decisions-edit]; header + CI rewrite [decisions-edit]
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(functionally unchanged — still status: superseded, same key) and updated the two prose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.

# Decision migration map (legacy heading → active record / archive)
Auditable mapping produced during the #521 lifecycle migration. Every legacy H2 heading maps to
either an active record (key) or an archive location. Most headings in `docs/decisions.md` and the
`docs/decisions/*.md` topic files are still `status: legacy-unmigrated` (no metadata block yet) — this
table only covers records touched so far. `PYTHONPATH=. python3 scripts/decisions_validate.py` prints
the running legacy-unmigrated count; it must trend to 0 over the arc, not drop to 0 in one PR.
| Legacy heading | Key | Status | Location |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2026-07-17 — No persistent compiler servers in CI; every `services:` container gets an explicit cap; #390's small-lane move reversed (#406) | `ci.runner-placement` | active | `docs/decisions.md` |
| 2026-07-19 — CI `test` job reports a sampled true peak-anon, not cache-inflated `memory.peak` (#412) | `ci.peak-anon-measurement` | active | `docs/decisions.md` |
| 2026-07-12 — decisions.md is append-only, enforced; root-screenshot guard (#303 H9/H3) — heading kept identical to the pre-split original (only the body/metadata were split) so the lifecycle validator's relocation check matches it | `docs.append-only-guard` | superseded (`superseded-by: docs.decision-lifecycle@2026-07-21`) | `docs/decisions/archive/release-ci-governance.md` |
| 2026-07-12 — Root-screenshot guard: pre-commit refuses root-level `*.png` (#303 H3) — split from the original H9/H3 bundle | `ci.root-screenshot-guard` | active | `docs/decisions/release-ci-governance.md` |
| 2026-07-21 — Decision records carry a lifecycle schema, validated by a script; append-only-by-diff is retired (#521) | `docs.decision-lifecycle` | active (`supersedes: docs.append-only-guard@2026-07-12`) | `docs/decisions.md` |
## Migration conventions
A legacy `##` entry that bundles an active sub-decision with a superseded/retired one is SPLIT during
migration — the superseded half moves to `archive/`, the active half becomes its own `status: active`
record in the active files. Never relocate an active decision to `archive/`. First applied to the
#303 H9/H3 bundle (below): H9 (docs.decisions.md append-only) is genuinely superseded and archived as
`docs.append-only-guard`; H3 (the root-screenshot pre-commit guard) is independent and still active, so
it was split out into its own active record, `ci.root-screenshot-guard`, in
`docs/decisions/release-ci-governance.md` rather than being carried into archive with its superseded
sibling.
## Notes on records considered but NOT given a standalone entry
- **#390 (small-lane move for `api-docs`/`format`).** Investigated whether #390's reversal (described
in #406's prose, point 3: "#390's `small`-lane move ... reversed") ever existed as its own `##`
record. It did not — grep for `#390` across `docs/decisions.md` and `docs/decisions/*.md` finds it
only inside #406's own body text (and one other unrelated mention of #390's apt-ffmpeg estimate,
also inside #406). #390 was **prose-only**: no separate heading, so nothing to mark `superseded` or
move to archive. `ci.runner-placement` (#406) therefore carries `supersedes: none`; the reversal is
recorded only in its `**Signals:**` line (`#390 (prose-reversed, no standalone record)`) and in this
note.
- **#411 (the earlier `memory.peak`-headline measurement).** Investigated the "#411 obsolescence" the
brief references. #411 is mentioned twice in `docs/decisions.md`, both inside #412's own body
("the `test` job's memory instrument (added in #411) now reports ..." and "the older #411 probe
... is superseded"). Like #390, #411 never had its own `##` heading — its "decision" was
narrated retroactively inside #406 (the "Measurement is now continuous" paragraph, which describes
the instrument #411 actually shipped) and explicitly marked obsolete inside #412's own prose. Since
there is no standalone #411 record, there is nothing to move to `archive/`; `ci.peak-anon-measurement`
(#412) — the record that supersedes #411's approach — carries `supersedes: none` and documents the
prose reversal in its `**Signals:**` line. The governed surface (CI memory measurement) still exists
and is very much active, so this is a straightforward **supersession of an unnamed predecessor**, not
a retirement — there's no case to make for `retired` here since the surface it measures is live.
## Still open (tracked for later migration passes, not this PR)
- `## 2026-07-11 — Queue state lives in the pinned Gitea tracker (#237), not in the handoff file` is
reversed by #520, not #521 — per the task-5 brief its supersession lands in PR2/Task 8, not here.
- The remaining ~90 headings in `docs/decisions.md` and the other three `docs/decisions/*.md` topic
files (`optimistic-concurrency.md`, `api-auth-security.md`, `spa-modularization.md`, and the rest of
`release-ci-governance.md`) are unmigrated (`status: legacy-unmigrated`, no metadata block). They are
valid under the schema as-is (the validator treats an unmigrated H2 as a migration target, not an
error) and migrate incrementally as each is next touched, per the arc's design.
