Found live during task 2.2 implementation (bug-1746): design.md claimed
persist_submit_job_dispatch_fact's NULL-alloc case was "explicit,
tested, backward-compatible" on both apply seams -- true for the DECODE
side (apply_committed_entry/apply_wal_entry, bug-1678's actual fix
target), but the ENCODE side (capnp_encode_joballoc) was never
exercised with NULL before this feature and had a latent unconditional
NULL dereference. Corrected all references to distinguish encode vs.
decode safety and note the bug-1746 fix task 2.2 required.

Discovered live during task 1.4 development: xceadmin's controller.capnp
copy is freshly synced from src/schema/ on every /xce-build xceadmin run
(meson-build.sh), so task 1.1's two new ClusterConfig fields already
broke the checked-in golden-fixture tests (test_golden_fixture_matches_
checked_in_expected_bin[minimal/full]) by changing the binary's wire
layout. Deeper gap: neither field has a YAML->binary configuration path
at all (unlike their own cited precedent, heartbeatInterval/
inactiveHeartbeatCount, which is wired into both xce.schema.json and
mapping.py) -- the original design review never scoped xceadmin as a
boundary. Added design.md Boundary Commitments addendum + tasks.md
task 1.5 to close both gaps together.

Design validation (2026-09-01) found and fixed 4 issues: a stale bug-1678
citation blocking reuse of persist_submit_job_dispatch_fact, missing
XCE_WORKER_RECONCILING accounting against scheduler-dispatch-commit's
dispatch-fail retry/terminal-fail classification, bug-1631 reactivation
(job.allocs never released on RUN->PEND reconciliation), and an eager-vs-
deferred mutation inconsistency between the new job.c functions and the
bug-1679 explicit-notify precedent. design.approved and tasks.approved
both set; tasks.md drafted (7 major/19 sub-tasks) and passed two rounds
of independent task-graph sanity review.
