caaae4cd00 docs(70): re-derive the stale-claim fix by grep instead of working the review's list
Round-3 review returned BLOCKED: must-fix (b) was not closed. It was right, and
the root cause it named is the point of this commit — the previous correction
"was scoped to the four sites the reviewer listed rather than re-derived by grep".
Fixing the list is not fixing the class. That is the same failure as B1, where the
gate covered the two writers already in hand and missed CreateChannelFromLineup.

Re-grepped the behavior class instead. Three survivors, two of them missed and one
freshly introduced by the correction itself:

- CreateMultiCollectionHandler.cs — the create twin of a comment whose UPDATE twin
  I corrected and whose create twin I never opened. Present tense, and contradicted
  by two tests in this same PR.
- decisions.md — corrected one line in that file and left its sibling.
- MultiCollectionItemWeight.cs (and its decisions.md mirror) — the ceiling rationale
  still claimed unbounded weights overflow the sum. They cannot: EffectiveWeight
  clamps before every sum and CycleLength widens to long. The earlier pass
  pattern-matched on the word "filtered" and left the identical defect on the
  ceiling. The ceiling's real job is the floor's argument — a billion is not a share
  of airtime any more than 0 is — so it now says that, and credits the clamp with the
  arithmetic safety it actually provides.

Also corrected the writer claim to the right predicate: not "two persisting writers"
(Add*ToPlaylist and Trakt persist it too, hardcoded) but two writers that persist a
CALLER-SUPPLIED order. The full set is now classified persists-caller-value /
persists-hardcoded / in-memory, including Engine/PlaylistHelper, which the previous
"two Preview handlers" phrasing missed. That bullet has been wrong three times in
the same shape; it now says so, since a lesson that keeps being re-learned is worth
recording as a pattern rather than a fact.

The BOM check caught this commit re-adding a BOM to the one file patched with
utf-8-sig — the same trap, an hour after writing it down. Stripped; the mechanical
pre-push check is what makes that survivable.

Core.Tests 566, ErsatzTV.Tests 1673, 0 failed. Format verify exit 0. decisions.md
+90/-0 (append-only guard green).

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. Start from its Index, which links the four topic files under docs/decisions/ (large same-topic clusters) and lists the remaining in-file entries.
  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).
