timothyandClaude Opus 4.8 fb6720ea27 fix(521): de-dup 6 overlapped records; guard duplicate metadata blocks; exclude retrieval-eval; complete eval bank [decisions-edit]
- Exclude docs/decisions/retrieval-eval.md from active decision parsing
  (_NON_DECISION_FILES); its `## N.` eval-question headings were being
  miscounted as 7 legacy-unmigrated records.
- Add decisions_lib.metadata_line_count() + a decisions_validate guard
  that fails a record with more than one `key:` metadata line, so a
  stacked-metadata-block migration bug (which the parser silently
  tolerated by reading only the first block) can't recur unnoticed.
  TDD: test_duplicate_metadata_block_fails / test_single_metadata_block_passes.
- De-duplicate the 6 docs/decisions.md records left with two stacked
  metadata blocks (scan.getoraddfolder-db-lookup #488,
  scan.musicvideo-reconciliation #494, scan.jellyfin-mixed-content-library
  #489, iptv.logo-drives-bug-preset #67, ffmpeg.qsv-decode-encode-split
  #498, ci.small-lane-git-only server-management#639), merging the union
  of Signals/paths/issues/Mechanics from both blocks and keeping the
  richer Rule wording; rationale prose untouched.
- Fill in the deferred Q6b row in docs/decisions/retrieval-eval.md now
  that startup.parallel-orientation is active in docs/decisions.md,
  scoring it as a real active-vs-superseded question against the
  archived docs.queue-state-gitea-tracker.
- Regenerate docs/decisions/README.md via build_decisions_catalog.py.

Raw Blame History

Active decisions — catalog / task router

The compact current view of settled decisions. Each row is an active record; follow the link for rationale. Superseded/retired history lives in archive/. Regenerated by scripts/build_decisions_catalog.py.

Key Current rule Since Record
api.artwork-rooted-urls API response DTOs return artwork as rooted, directly-usable URLs (plus passthrough for absolute/proxy URLs), never relative Blazor-convention paths. 2026-07-07 link
api.async-op-contract Queue-triggering /api/* endpoints normalize onto one contract — 202 Accepted (queued), 404 (missing entity), 409 (lock held), 422 (domain precondition) — with Trakt as the reference implementation; playout list/detail GETs also carry an isLocked observability flag as the HTTP-observable substitute for a live push channel. 2026-07-11 link
api.channel-health-signal Channel health rides ChannelResponseModel/ChannelListItem DTOs as a raw int PlayoutCount fact (free — GetAll already Includes Playouts), not a new endpoint, not /channels/state (runtime-liveness cadence), and not a derived ChannelHealth enum (would freeze policy before the #383/#384 auto-tune status taxonomy lands). 2026-07-17 link
api.decode-by-id Endpoints that decode/expand opaque stored state accept a database row id and resolve it server-side rather than round-tripping client-supplied serialized state. 2026-07-07 link
api.healthcheck-remediation-dto Health-check remediation is server-declared {Kind, Target} metadata on an additive DTO field; the SPA renders/acts on it, it doesn't derive labels itself. 2026-07-17 link
api.healthcheck-ttl-cache Health-check results are held in a 30s TTL cache inside HealthCheckService; a non-forced GET /api/v1/health returns the cached list, and ?refresh=true (or a forced internal caller) bypasses it to run fresh. 2026-07-19 link
api.logs-sort-params GET /api/logs takes allow-listed sortField (timestamp|level) and sortDirection (asc|desc) query params, normalized (not rejected) on an unrecognized value. 2026-07-11 link
api.mediatr-passthrough The REST API is thin controllers over existing MediatR handlers, with no new service/business-logic layer. 2026-06 link
api.openapi-mirrors-runtime The generated OpenAPI spec is made to match the runtime Newtonsoft wire contract (via NewtonsoftSchemaNamingTransformer), not the reverse. 2026-07-09 link
api.parentid-drillin Media drill-in (season/episode/artist/music-video) is served by an optional parentId query param on library-browse, not dedicated per-kind child-listing endpoints. 2026-07-07 link
api.playout-build-lock-409 Every id-keyed playout/channel mutation endpoint checks IEntityLocker.IsPlayoutLocked(id) and returns 409 Conflict while a build is in-flight, mirroring Blazor's disabled-buttons behavior; reset-all stays 202 and silently skips locked playouts. 2026-07-10 link
api.postcommit-cancellation-none Once a mutation commits, its entire compensating side effect (enqueues, publishes, reindexes, cache refresh, and any post-commit lookup gating one of those) runs on CancellationToken.None so a late client disconnect can't half-abort an already-committed change. 2026-07-11 link
api.put-replace-index-order PUT-replace-the-whole-list endpoints derive each item's Index from its request-array position, never a client-supplied field; alternate-schedule/playout-template rows are evaluated in Index order with the least-conditional row placed last as the catch-all default. 2026-07 link
api.response-dtos New REST response DTOs live in ErsatzTV.Core/Api/<Domain>/*ResponseModel.cs with a file-scoped #nullable enable pragma; controllers never expose Application VM types directly. 2026-07 link
api.schedule-item-flat-dto Schedule-item GET/POST/PUT use a flat, non-polymorphic ScheduleItemResponseModel (every subtype field promoted to a nullable top-level member) instead of the polymorphic Application VM hierarchy, with mutation field names matching ScheduleItemRequest 1:1 for a lossless round-trip. 2026-07-10 link
api.scheduling-hardening Create/Replace handlers guard against null/whitespace name (IsNullOrWhiteSpace, not just Length) to prevent NRE-500s, template-item overlap validation compares by index (not record value-equality) to catch exact-duplicate items, and unreachable 404 ProducesResponseType attributes on create-only actions are trimmed. 2026-07-13 link
api.search-allitems-paging GET /api/v1/search/all-items is paginated (capped page size, Totals field) to bound DoS exposure; the SPA add-all flow pages to completeness instead of relying on an unbounded response. 2026-07-18 link
api.search-paging-cap Search stays capped at 100 items per media kind; an overflowing kind's "See all" reuses library-browse paging instead of adding new API surface. 2026-07-11 link
api.versioning-v1 The entire /api surface is versioned to /api/v1 uniformly (no unversioned corner); legacy unversioned callers are rewritten in-pipeline (not redirected) with Deprecation/Link/Sunset headers, and post-freeze /api/v1 is additive-only — a breaking change requires /api/v2. 2026-07-13 link
blazor.rollback-tag The commit immediately preceding the Blazor-removal merge is tagged blazor-final (not a v* tag, so it doesn't trigger a prod release build) as the documented rollback/restore path. 2026-07-11 link
blazor.ui-removed The legacy Blazor Server UI (Pages/, Shared/, ViewModels/, Validators/, MudBlazor + 8 other packages, Blazor Startup wiring) is fully deleted now that the SPA has parity; the legacy MapWhen branch is kept only for controllers/docs/OpenAPI/LegacyUiRedirects, and the catch-all fallback 302s any unmatched non-api/artwork/docs/openapi path to /app. 2026-07-11 link
ci.build-once-rejected CI build-once (a shared compile artifact across jobs) was implemented, measured, and rejected for a 40-85% wall-clock regression; keep the #420 cross-run tree-identity skip instead. 2026-07-18 link
ci.docs-only-detect-shallow-safe The docs-only detect script must diff against FETCH_HEAD (always resolves after git fetch, even shallow) using a two-dot tree diff — not origin/<base> with three-dot — because a fetch-depth: 1 shallow clone has no remote-tracking ref and no merge-base, which silently fails the original detect into docs_only=false (full matrix, no functional error). A CI-behavior change must be verified by measuring the effect (job durations), not just a green check. 2026-07-17 link
ci.docs-only-skip-steps A docs-only change must still run every required job (test, migrations) so their commit-status contexts always report; each heavy job runs scripts/ci-detect-docs-only.sh first and gates its real STEPS on if: steps.detect.outputs.docs_only != 'true', never if:-skips the whole job (an if:-skipped job reports skipped, not success, which branch protection may never unblock on). Detection biases toward running more on any doubt. 2026-07-17 link
ci.format-gate-folder-mode The blocking format CI job (and matching pre-commit hook) runs dotnet format whitespace . --folder --include <files> instead of loading the full MSBuild/Roslyn solution, cutting the gate from ~480s to ~0.5s with unchanged whitespace/charset coverage. 2026-07-19 link
ci.functional-e2e-harness The functional-e2e CI job boots the PR's own code from source via dotnet run (scripts/e2e-local.sh) and runs curl-only, deterministic assertions (scripts/e2e-functional.sh) as an advisory (non-blocking) job, not a build dependency or required check. 2026-07-16 link
ci.peak-anon-measurement The test job's headline memory figure is a sampled high-water mark of cgroup anon, produced by scripts/ci-peak-anon.sh; memory.peak and the end-of-job anon/file split are kept only as a cache-inflated reference. 2026-07-19 link
ci.root-screenshot-guard The Husky pre-commit hook refuses a staged root-level *.png (belt-and-suspenders with the .gitignore rule); nested *.png real assets are unaffected. 2026-07-12 link
ci.runner-placement No persistent Roslyn compiler server survives a CI build (UseSharedCompilation=false etc., runner env + Dockerfile ENV); every services: container gets its own explicit --memory/--memory-swap/--cpus cap (it does not inherit the job container's). 2026-07-17 link
ci.small-lane-git-only runs-on: small is defined by what a job does (git-only), not its usual runtime; the two docker build jobs (docker-build.yml, ci-image.yml) move to ubuntu-latest because their worst-case memory, not median runtime, was pinning the small lane's per-slot cap. 2026-07-20 link
concurrency.diff-scalar-fanout The frozen Block optimistic-concurrency recipe (api-conventions §7a) fans out to Collection/Playout×2/MultiCollection/RerunCollection, keeping a guard-returned PreconditionFailedError out of any handler's generic catch(Exception)→422 mapping, and preserving each aggregate's existing SaveChangesAsync() > 0 gate semantics under the new unconditional Version++. 2026-07-11 link
concurrency.etag-rotation-completion Every handler that mutates a versioned root's editor-visible config state must bump Version (rotating the ETag) with no per-aggregate carve-outs, short-circuiting on a genuine no-op before the bump so idempotent re-submits don't fire spurious rebuild fan-out; SaveChangesForcingVersion rebases the retry (stored + pending delta), never adopts the stored token verbatim. 2026-07-12 link
concurrency.force-write-non-ifmatch Any handler that leaves a versioned root Modified or Deleted but takes no If-Match (deletes, item add/remove bumpers, scalar-config writers) must save through ConcurrencyExtensions.SaveChangesForcingVersion — force-write past a concurrent Version bump rather than throw an unhandled DbUpdateConcurrencyException (500). 2026-07-12 link
concurrency.idempotent-concurrent-add A concurrent duplicate Add*ToCollection that loses the race on the composite-key unique constraint is treated as an idempotent no-op (skip the reindex/rebuild fan-out), not a 500 — detected via a provider-specific TvContext.IsUniqueConstraintViolation delegate defaulting to "no". 2026-07-18 link
concurrency.ifmatch-rfc7232 ConcurrencyHeaders.ParseIfMatch is a real RFC 7232 entity-tag/list parser: a syntactically-valid tag that doesn't strong-match (weak/empty/non-canonical/out-of-range/list) returns 412, and only a genuine grammar violation returns 400. 2026-07-12 link
concurrency.replace-all-contract Replace-all aggregate PUTs carry a uniform plain int Version concurrency token (EF .IsConcurrencyToken()), checked pre-save and enforced by the EF UPDATE guard, returning 412 (not 409) on a stale If-Match. 2026-07-11 link
concurrency.schedule-item-child-identity PUT /api/schedules/{id}/items reconciles by an optional round-tripped child Id (null/absent/0 ⇒ new item), never by array position, so fill-group/shuffle state follows the logical item across reorders; an unknown or duplicate id is rejected 422 (checked after the §7a CheckVersion, so 412 precedes 422). 2026-07-11 link
docs.convention-docs-session-start The standing convention-doc set (api-conventions, spa-conventions, e2e-local, blazor-route-parity, domain-model, decisions, README) is read at session start and updated in the same PR that changes what it documents, replacing per-session recon. 2026-07-07 link
docs.decision-lifecycle every decision ## record (active or archived) carries a 5-field metadata block (key, status, since, supersedes, superseded-by) checked by scripts/decisions_validate.py; a record is never deleted or line-edited to reverse a call — it is moved to docs/decisions/archive/ with status: superseded/retired and a reciprocal superseded-by/supersedes key pair to its replacement. 2026-07-21 link
ffmpeg.external-logo-graphics-engine External-URL channel logos pass through to the graphics engine like any other watermark source; WatermarkSelector must never gate them on File.Exists (always false for a URL) and never route them through the ffmpeg-native overlay shortcut. 2026-07-20 link
ffmpeg.hls-cold-start-burst HLS cold-start latency is fixed with a bounded -readrate_initial_burst (gated on FFmpeg ≥6.1 capability detection), not by raising work_ahead_limit, which would remove the concurrency guarantee it exists for. 2026-07-20 link
ffmpeg.qsv-decode-encode-split QSV decode is decoupled from QSV encode via a single FFmpegProfile.QsvPreferNativeDecoder bool (default ON, Linux-only), so a QSV encode profile can decode with the more tolerant native VA-API decoder instead of the QSV decoder, mirroring Jellyfin's hybrid decode/encode toggle instead of a general decode-family enum. 2026-07-20 link
ffmpeg.remote-image-fetcher-bounded remote graphics-engine images are fetched through IRemoteImageFetcher with a pooled HttpClientFactory client, a body-covering deadline, a wire-transfer size cap, and a decoder-enforced DecoderOptions.MaxFrames bound re-verified post-decode — never cached, re-fetched per element init. 2026-07-20 link
iptv.base-url An optional advertised base URL (iptv.base_url) is resolved centrally via a pure Core helper (AdvertisedBaseUrl) inside the two IPTV generation handlers (M3U + XMLTV); unset/malformed values fall back byte-identical to the request-derived host, and it's a new iptv settings group distinct from ETV_BASE_URL and out of scope for HDHomeRun. 2026-07-16 link
iptv.logo-drives-bug-preset One uploaded channel logo drives both the listing logo and the on-screen bug via a shared, seeded ChannelLogo-sourced watermark preset (Channel Bug), not new per-channel schema. 2026-07-20 link
locking.entitylocker-atomic-flags EntityLocker uses Interlocked.CompareExchange-guarded atomic flags plus a documented single-owner-release discipline (no owner tokens/leases); Unlock* on an already-unlocked slot returns false and logs a Warning rather than throwing. 2026-07-11 link
mcp.server-foundation ErsatzTV.Mcp is a fresh stdio JSON-RPC server wrapping frozen /api/v1 with explicit narrow per-endpoint tools, read-only-by-default enforced at runtime (ERSATZTV_ALLOW_WRITES), machine-key auth, and opt-in If-Match. 2026-07-20 link
media.lastscan-null-boundary A never-scanned LastScan surfaces as null at the API/MCP boundary, not the 0001-01-01 MinValue sentinel — enforced by an ongoing read-boundary coercion plus a one-time data migration cleanup. 2026-07-18 link
media.remote-stream-probe ValidatePlayoutItemPath probes the Plex/Jellyfin/Emby remote-stream URL via IRemoteStreamProber before returning it; only a redirected 404 fails closed (PlayoutItemNotAvailableFromMediaServer), everything else fails open, and there is no toggle. 2026-07-19 link
media.remote-stream-probe-externaljson External-JSON playout channels' StreamRemotely now probes the remote-stream URL through the same IRemoteStreamProber seam as the generated-playout path, closing the #473 scope gap for a channel kind with no DB PlayoutItem rows. 2026-07-20 link
media.source-mgmt-write-api Media-source management (local/Plex/Jellyfin/Emby) is a REST write API + SPA under /app/libraries/*, wrapping existing MediatR commands 1:1 with no new commands or DB migration; connection GETs never leak a stored apiKey, and each PUT-replace family's identity contract is documented per-family (not assumed uniform). 2026-07-11 link
release.api-contract-ci-gate A PR touching ErsatzTV/Controllers/Api/** or ErsatzTV.Core/Api/** must ship regenerated OpenAPI artifacts (v1.json, v1.d.ts, endpoint-index.md) in the same diff, enforced by a blocking api-docs CI job that regenerates-and-diffs against a fresh build. 2026-07-12 link
release.done-when-merge-consent A PR may merge only when its linked issue's ## Done-when checklist is fully ticked and the PR's CI is green, enforced by a PreToolUse hook on the Gitea merge tool (deny/allow/ask) plus a pre-push backstop for direct pushes to main. 2026-07-12 link
release.format-as-you-touch-rebase A blocking format CI job runs dotnet format --verify-no-changes scoped only to the PR's changed .cs files (never the legacy BOM backlog), and a PR branch must be kept current by rebasing on origin/main (never merging main in), enforced by .husky/pre-pushprepush-rebase-check.sh. 2026-07-12 link
release.live-e2e-required A PR that changes an API write-path handler must include a live-E2E pass (driving the real endpoint/screen and confirming the round-trip through a subsequent read), not only unit/characterization tests, and must state whether live-E2E ran or wasn't required. 2026-07-12 link
release.merge-consent-autogrant When Done-when boxes are ticked, CI is green, and a fresh positive Review-verdict references head, the merge-consent hook emits permissionDecision: allow to actually suppress the redundant mechanical prompt — the derived state IS the consent, no separate conversational confirmation on that path. 2026-07-12 link
release.migration-rehearsal-prodcopy Before promoting a migration-bearing release, rehearse the new image's migrations against a throwaway copy of the latest prod backup (scripts/migration-smoke.sh), gating PASS on the migrator's completion log line rather than HTTP readiness alone. 2026-07-12 link
release.prepush-clean-worktree-guard A fail-open pre-push hook blocks a push when any file in the branch's diff vs origin/main also has uncommitted working-tree or index changes, since a stale-index commit (e.g. git reset --soft + git add over an edited-but-unstaged fix) can silently push, CI-test, and get reviewed a different tree than the one on disk. Scope is precise to pushed-diff files; escape hatch ETV_ALLOW_DIRTY_PUSH=1. 2026-07-17 link
release.promotion-floating-prod Prod tracks the floating :prod image reference; a tag build's immutable :<version> image is scanned first, then promotion happens via a separate manual DeployStack, with daily auto-update only as a fallback — tag with enough runway before 03:00 to avoid an unscanned promotion. 2026-07-13 link
release.review-verdict-gate A PR may not merge until a Review-verdict: <MERGEABLE|APPROVED|BLOCKED|NOT-MERGEABLE> @ <head-sha> comment references the PR's current head sha (short-sha prefix match, line-start marker only, negative wins over positive on the same head); folds into the H6 merge-consent hook as condition (c). 2026-07-12 link
scan.collections-scan-status GET /api/v1/media-sources/collections-scan-status reports a family-global (not per-source), boolean-only active-scan set read from IEntityLocker; the SPA reconciles authoritatively against it (with a grace-tick helper) instead of a fixed client-side timeout. 2026-07-12 link
scan.getoraddfolder-db-lookup ILibraryRepository.GetOrAddFolder resolves the existing folder via a DB query on (LibraryPathId, Path), not the caller's LibraryPath.LibraryFolders in-memory navigation, since that navigation is only eager-loaded on the local scan path and is null on remote (Jellyfin) callers. 2026-07-20 link
scan.jellyfin-mixed-content-library A Jellyfin library whose collection type is mixed (or absent) maps to one ErsatzTV library of LibraryMediaKind.Mixed, scanned by running the movie/television/music-video scanners in sequence against that single library — a library is a place, not a media kind. 2026-07-20 link
scan.musicvideo-reconciliation JellyfinMusicVideoLibraryScanner reconciles removed music videos by a library-scoped local-path diff plus hard delete (TrashMissingMusicVideos), not the server-itemId soft-trash pattern the other media-server scanners use, because music videos carry no server identity. 2026-07-20 link
scan.zero-item-fetch-guard A media-server library sweep refuses to flag missing items when a successful fetch returns zero incoming items against a non-empty existing set (MediaServerReconciliationGuard.ShouldFlagMissing), rather than treating an ambiguous empty result as a full-library deletion. 2026-07-19 link
sched.auto-tune-foundation Auto-tune preview enumeration uses EF distinct+count queries for exact counts, while each created channel is persisted as a live SmartCollection; coexistence with existing channels/numbers is additive-only, never mutating. 2026-07-16 link
sched.autotune-detailpanel-members The Auto-Tune DetailPanel's per-channel content-source list is a live ISearchIndex.Search roll-up through the server-owned AutoTuneAxisMap.GenerateQuery, not an EF distinct+count query, so the preview matches exactly what the built channel's SmartCollection will contain. 2026-07-17 link
sched.autotune-per-channel-overrides Auto-Tune per-channel overrides reuse the Channel Builder's advanced-options DTO verbatim; per-source weights and bug-colour logo are deferred to #425. 2026-07-17 link
sched.autotune-per-source-weights Auto-Tune per-source rotation weights and query corrections are supplied at bulk-create time via #70's MultiCollection/SmartCollection machinery, not a post-hoc PUT. 2026-07-18 link
sched.clock-padding-existing Clock-boundary padding already exists via FillerPreset's FillerMode.Pad (Classic) and pad_to_next/pad_until (Sequential/YAML); #77 is closed as verified+documented, not built new, with a one-click per-channel toggle deferred behind the #388 design-system epic. 2026-07-17 link
sched.playbackorder-support-matrix Every build-time dispatch site logs a loud (non-fatal) warning on an unsupported PlaybackOrder, and a declared PlaybackOrderSupport matrix + partition tripwire test makes adding a new order safe by construction. 2026-07-18 link
sched.reshuffle-scoped-reset POST /api/v1/playouts/{id}/reshuffle runs ErasePlayoutHistory (reseeds Playout.Seed + clears anchors/rerun-history) then enqueues a scoped Reset build, so reshuffle always reseeds — even for the non-Classic kinds Reset alone wouldn't reseed; Playout.Seed is surfaced on list/detail DTOs as visible confirmation. 2026-07-16 link
sched.seasonal-scheduling-existing Seasonal/date-conditional scheduling already ships first-class via IAlternateScheduleItem (Classic ProgramScheduleAlternate, Block PlayoutTemplate) evaluated by AlternateScheduleSelector.GetScheduleForDate (first match in Index order, catch-all last); #73 is closed as already-implemented with a docs-only "seasonal/holiday" recipe added, not new code. 2026-07-17 link
sched.shuffle-source-builder Shuffle-source construction moves to a static, DI-free ShuffleSourceBuilder (a shared seam, not a service) so Classic and Playlist stop cross-engine reaching into PlayoutBuilder statics; a unified Classic+Playlist enumerator factory is explicitly rejected as a god-factory. Block/Scripted/YAML duplication is left alone, deferred to a follow-up gated on #381. 2026-07-17 link
sched.weighted-shuffle Fair-share/weighted airtime distribution ships as one new PlaybackOrder.WeightedShuffle = 9 order (equal weights = fair-share), not a retrofit of ShuffleInOrder (which only anti-clumps, since its padding spacers emit nothing) and not a separate orthogonal "distribution" setting; weights live on MultiCollectionItem/MultiCollectionSmartItem (DB default 1, dual-provider migration), bounded at write (1..1000) and clamped again in the enumerator, and the write path rejects WeightedShuffle at every dispatch site that doesn't handle it rather than let it silently degrade to unweighted random. 2026-07-17 link
sched.weightedshuffle-editor WeightedShuffle per-source weights are edited on the multi-collection editor (property of the MultiCollection), while the WeightedShuffle order itself is offered only on classic MultiCollection schedule items; fair-share is a "reset weights to 1" action, not a stored mode. 2026-07-19 link
security.artwork-content-type-sniff Artwork content type is always derived from the stored bytes (never the client-declared value or a ?contentType= query param) at both upload and serve, clamped to an image allow-list, closing the unauthenticated stored-XSS chain; Kestrel MaxRequestBodySize bounds upload DoS. 2026-07-12 link
security.baseline-response-headers 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. 2026-07-11 link
security.blazor-removal-auth-posture Removing the Blazor UI's OIDC-challenged surface exposes nothing a user couldn't already reach via the already-open /app SPA (open since phase (a)); real SPA/API authentication is deliberately deferred to #197, and the removal PR must preserve ConditionalIptvAuthorizeFilter, ApiKeyAuthorizationFilter, and JwtHelper access_token support. 2026-07-11 link
security.contract-freeze-honesty The OpenAPI doc's declared security/401 scheme is generated from the same ApiKeyAuthorizationFilter.EndpointRequiresKey predicate the runtime enforces (so declared auth can't drift from enforced auth), every /api/* action returns a ResponseModel (no raw Application VMs), and Channel REST resources are keyed by immutable Id, never mutable Number. 2026-07-12 link
security.corp-same-origin SecurityHeadersMiddleware sends Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy: same-origin on every response including /docs//openapi, blocking cross-origin no-cors embedding without affecting allowed CORS-mode fetches or server-side Jellyfin /iptv/* requests. 2026-07-13 link
security.csp-permissions-policy SecurityHeadersMiddleware sends an enforcing (not report-only) Content-Security-Policy (no unsafe-inline/unsafe-eval; the one inline theme-bootstrap script allow-listed by hash) and a deny-all Permissions-Policy on the SPA//api//artwork//iptv; /docs and /openapi keep only the baseline headers, excluded from CSP because Scalar needs inline bootstrap. 2026-07-12 link
security.fail-closed-api-auth Every mutating /api request requires X-Api-Key (no open mode); reads are gated by Api:RequireKeyForReads (default true) OR [RequiresApiKey] on sensitive controllers; CORS is an exact-origin allowlist (ApiCors); ForwardedHeaders trust stays configurable but defaults to trust-all-with-warning. 2026-07-12 link
security.session-auth-dual-credential ApiAuthorizationFilter accepts a request when a valid X-Api-Key matches OR the principal is an authenticated session (cookie ctv-session, HttpOnly/SameSite=Lax); session-authenticated mutations require the presence-only X-CSRF header or are rejected 403. This narrows the OIDC-inert sub-claim of security.blazor-removal-auth-posture (#206) — the rest of that record's auth-surface enumeration still holds. 2026-07-12 link
security.session-cutover-postify The browser SPA authenticates cookie-only (no more X-Api-Key from web/); the machine key is repurposed to external/MCP-only via GET /api/auth/machine-key; every side-effecting GET/HEAD under /api is converted to POST so the existing CSRF gate covers it (standing rule: never add a side-effecting GET/HEAD under /api). 2026-07-12 link
spa.add-to-layer All add-to-collection/playlist/schedule affordances share one component layer at web/src/media/addTo/; multi-select is an explicit screen-level toggle, and the per-card menu offers schedule only for the server-validated kinds. 2026-07-10 link
spa.app-shell-extraction App.tsx is only the composition root over web/src/app/routes.tsx (stable route-object identity), app/AppShell.tsx (shell chrome), and app/ScreenContent.tsx (exhaustive screen dispatch); primary actions are one explicit PrimaryActionProvider registration per screen, replacing the old global ctv:primary-action window event. 2026-07-15 link
spa.autotune-detailpanel-slideover The Auto-Tune DetailPanel SPA is a reusable SlideOver primitive sharing useOverlayBehavior with Dialog, plus a shared advanced-options model extracted from ChannelBuilder; decorative panes without backend support are dropped. 2026-07-18 link
spa.channel-editor-create-logo Bare-channel create is a "New blank channel" action on the channels list (reusing Blazor's add-mode defaults) that navigates into the full editor, and an external logo URL always wins over an uploaded logo, matching ChannelEditViewModel precedence. 2026-07-11 link
spa.channel-renumber-prompt Channel renumbering uses a sequential prompt()-driven "Renumber" action instead of drag-to-reorder. 2026-07-09 link
spa.channels-screen-extraction The Channels domain is a single-file zero-prop screen (web/src/screens/ChannelsScreen.tsx) with a colocated test file and no sibling helper directory, since its pure logic is too small (~30 lines) to justify a separate business-rule layer like Schedules' itemRules.ts. 2026-07-11 link
spa.collection-custom-order-ui Collection custom ordering uses per-row Move up/Move down buttons (not drag) and is offered for any manual collection with custom order enabled, not just movies-only. 2026-07-09 link
spa.datetime-local-input The channel-mode date/time input uses a native <input type="datetime-local"> instead of free-text Chronic natural-language parsing. 2026-07-09 link
spa.deco-templates-table The deco-templates editor also renders its day/deco assignment as a table, extending (not replacing) the templates-editor-table convention. 2026-07-09 link
spa.download-sample-gate The SPA disables both Download Media Sample and Download Results while a troubleshooting session is starting/running (Blazor only gated Download Results). 2026-07-09 link
spa.legacy-redirect-matcher LegacyUiRedirects.TryGetRedirect is a two-tier matcher — an exact OrdinalIgnoreCase Map (Tier 1) then an ordered segment-template pattern list (Tier 2, first-match-wins) — collision-free by construction, with a guard invariant that no rule may prefix-match /api, /artwork, /docs, /openapi, /iptv, /app, or /media/sources. 2026-07-11 link
spa.logs-page-size-local The Logs page rows-per-page preference is stored in window.localStorage (ctv-logs-page-size), not a server ConfigElement. 2026-07-11 link
spa.playback-troubleshoot-poll The playback-troubleshooting screen reports FFmpeg completion by polling GET /api/troubleshoot/playback/status (~2s) rather than a server push channel. 2026-07-09 link
spa.playout-reset-button The SPA keeps a single Reset action (server picks the default build mode) and drops Blazor's separate "Schedule reset" button since its capability already exists via the playout's Edit-details flow. 2026-07-09 link
spa.playouts-screen-extraction The Playouts domain (including its unguarded PlayoutsRouteScreen route wrapper with local pathname/popstate state) moved as one unit into web/src/screens/PlayoutsScreen.tsx, keeping its screen-specific sub-path route ownership colocated with the base screen; a pure structural move with no API/route/CSS/behavior change. 2026-07-14 link
spa.schedules-editor-draft-save The schedules SPA editor mutates a local draft and flushes one explicit Save (PUT /api/schedules/{id}/items) instead of instant-persisting each action; Copy deep-copies all source references (fixing a Blazor omission); the shuffled-schedule GET's EnforceProperties lossy normalization is preserved and mirrored in the SPA's option lists. 2026-07-11 link
spa.sidebar-collapsible-accordions The shell sidebar's collapse + nav-group-accordion state persists under two hyphenated ctv-sidebar-* localStorage keys (matching the repo's ctv- convention, not the prototype's dotted names); labeled groups default-collapsed. 2026-07-18 link
spa.smartcollection-rule-builder The SmartCollection visual rule builder compiles to/from a closed subset of the Lucene grammar over the existing stored query string — no new AST, one level of group nesting. 2026-07-18 link
spa.spa-rebuild-decision The UI is a full React SPA (ChicoryTV) rebuild over the REST API, not a Blazor Server reskin. 2026-06 link
spa.templates-editor-table The SPA templates editor renders day/block assignment as a table, not Blazor's drag-and-drop calendar grid — an accepted, deliberate parity deviation. 2026-07 link
spa.topbar-primary-action The TopBar's primary-action "+" button renders only when the active route declares a non-empty primaryAction, is wired (via a shared usePrimaryAction hook) only on single-unambiguous-create-flow list screens, and is dropped everywhere else rather than left as a dead/no-op button. 2026-07-12 link
spa.yaml-validator-textarea The YAML playout validator takes pasted YAML via a <textarea>, not a server-side file path, since the SPA has no filesystem access. 2026-07-09 link
startup.parallel-orientation A fresh session runs two concurrent tracks at startup — Orientation (AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.mddocs/README.md task-signal map → the active decisions catalog docs/decisions/README.md) and, only when no issue is named, Selection (scripts/select-queue.sh N, deterministic live-Gitea ranking). A named issue skips Selection entirely. ersatztv#237, the closed pickup tracker this replaces, is reduced to a single archival breadcrumb and MUST NOT be read for live state. 2026-07-21 link
