feat(buglog): one Markdown record per bug, checked against a record standard
The buglog was one 27K-line JSON file whose fields covered only symptom,
root cause and fix, as free text: 2% of entries named the code version a
bug was found on, 12% the build profile, 36% a way to reproduce, and 58% of
the file was OpenWolf hook auto-detections ("Missing guard clause",
"Function not marked async" on .md files).

- .claude/skills/buglog/bug-record.md: the record standard. Eight
  sections (Summary as the title, Description, Environment, Reproduction;
  Root cause, Fix, Verification, References once fixed), each with the
  content it must contain -- e.g. Environment needs the OS, the libc the
  failing binary loads (from its ELF interpreter: glibc 2.42 in the nix
  shell vs 2.40 on the host), toolchain, build profile and commit.
- .wolf/bugs/<id>.md: 500 records migrated from buglog.json; every field
  verified to round-trip. They carry legacy: true and an explicit "not
  recorded" where the old log had no such field; component derived from
  file paths, severity from keywords (else unknown), fix_commits from
  hashes in status_note/fix that git resolves (91 of 463 fixed).
- .wolf/buglog-archive.json: the 710 hook auto-detections, verbatim.
- .wolf/buglog.json is now an index generated from the records, keeping
  the fields OpenWolf's hooks and `openwolf bug search` read.
- scripts/buglog.py rewritten: new (template + Environment collected from
  the machine and --binary), check, status (refuses a status the record
  doesn't support; fixed needs Root cause, Fix, Verification and
  --commit hashes git resolves), note, recur, set, show, list, triage,
  env, index. 29 unittest cases in scripts/tests/test_buglog.py.
- scripts/git-hooks/pre-commit runs `check --staged`: incomplete staged
  records, a legacy record hand-changed to fixed without the fix-time
  sections, a new record claiming legacy: true, or a stale index refuse
  the commit.
- scripts/gitea-sync.py reads the records: issue body = the record's
  sections plus linked fix commits (origin remote, GITEA_COMMIT_REPO to
  override), and a body hash so an issue's text is refreshed when the
  record changes.
- bug-1866 rewritten to the full standard as the worked example.

# bug-1486: Backgrounded `xce-build.sh all` run went silently stale mid-flight ([360/362], no ninja…
## Description
Backgrounded `xce-build.sh all` run went silently stale mid-flight ([360/362], no ninja FAILED/error line, no completion marker, log just stopped growing at 03:38:35) with no matching build process left in `ps aux`
## Environment
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._
## Reproduction
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._
## Root cause
Multiple DIFFERENT Claude agent sessions independently invoked xce-build.sh against the same shared worktree's src/xce.build directory at the same time (confirmed via `ps auxf`: sibling `bash src/tools/xce-build.sh controller` and a separate `... all` invocation running under different parent `claude --output-format stream-json` PIDs). xce-build.sh has no lock/mutex around its unconditional `rm -rf "$BUILD_DIR"` + `meson setup` step (same code path as bug-1464), so a peer session's rm -rf tore the build directory out from under this session's own in-progress ninja/meson compile with no error propagation -- the backgrounded process's output just stops, indistinguishable at first glance from a hang.
## Fix
No code change; workflow fix. Before trusting a backgrounded xce-build.sh log that has gone stale, run `ps auxf | grep -E 'xce-build|meson|ninja|cc1'` to check for a sibling xce-build.sh invocation from a different session targeting the same worktree. If found, do not start a third concurrent build -- bounded-poll (`while kill -0 $PEER_PID; do sleep 5; done`, not a passive wait for a background-task notification) until all peer invocations exit, then run exactly one clean blocking `xce-build.sh all` and treat only that run's own output as ground truth. Real fix would be a flock/lockfile around setup_build()'s rm-rf+meson-setup step in xce-build.sh itself so concurrent sessions serialize instead of clobbering.
## Verification
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._
