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-1420: xce_test CLI harness generates colliding jobids across separate process invocations within the…
## Description
xce_test CLI harness generates colliding jobids across separate process invocations within the same wall-clock second, surfacing as a spurious APPLY_DIVERGENT fence in chaotic HA soak (misattributed at first to bug-1419's controller-side dedup logic).
## Environment
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._
## Reproduction
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._
## Root cause
idgen() (src/lib/idgen.c) derives jobid from a per-context {timestamp (1s resolution), sequence (reset to 0 whenever the second rolls over or the context is freshly initialized)} pair, plus caller-supplied clusterId/apiserverId bits (src/include/config.h: 6+4 bits respectively) that are meant to partition the jobid namespace across independent generators. xce_test's cmd_jsub called idgen(&idctx, 0, 0, arsize, ...) -- both partition fields hardcoded to 0 -- so every xce_test process shares the SAME (degenerate, unpartitioned) jobid space. run-ha-soak.sh's submit_jobs() (run-ha-soak.sh:446) spawns a fresh xce_test process per submit/retry attempt (`printf script | xtest`, xtest() = `timeout 60 "$XT"`), and idgen_ctx_init() resets sequence=0 on every fresh process start. Two unrelated job submissions from two different xce_test process launches landing in the same wall-clock second therefore compute an IDENTICAL jobid (ts, tag, seq all equal) -- a genuine, reproducible collision between logically distinct jobs, not a retry of the same one. This is NOT a production defect: apiserver's GenerateJobID (src/frontend/apiserver/backend/clib.go) initializes its idgen_ctx_t exactly once per process via sync.Once (sequence only resets on an actual apiserver restart, far rarer than per-request), and each deployed apiserver instance is assigned its own distinct apiserverId, so config.h's bit layout already partitions the production jobid namespace across instances even in the rare restart-collision case.
## Fix
Folded getpid() into the harness's apiserverId at the idgen() call site (test.c:1868): idgen(&idctx, 0, (size_t)((uint64_t)getpid() & MAX_APISERVER_ID), arsize, &(jobsubmit.jobid)) -- gives every xce_test process invocation its own slice of the same namespace partitioning production already relies on, making a same-second cross-process collision structurally impossible. Mechanical, test-tool-only change; no production code touched. Verified via clean rebuild of both xce_test and controller_unit_test targets (no coupling, no regressions).
## Verification
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._
