# bug-1856: OpenWolf 2.5.0 post-write hook would create a duplicate bug id: autoDetectBugFix numbers new…

## Description
OpenWolf 2.5.0 post-write hook would create a duplicate bug id: autoDetectBugFix numbers new entries bug-<len(bugs)+1> (next: bug-1194), but ids run to bug-1854 and bug-1194 already exists

## Environment
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._

## Reproduction
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._

## Root cause
Upstream OpenWolf hook (.wolf/hooks/post-write.js autoDetectBugFix, nextId = bugLog.bugs.length + 1) assumes ids are dense and never renumbered; this buglog's ids are sparse after renumbering/consolidation (see bug-1630). The hook also never sets the project's status field.

## Fix
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._

## Verification
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._
