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-1786: Found immediately after bug-1784/1785: with group resolution and default-scope semantics both…
## Description
Found immediately after bug-1784/1785: with group resolution and default-scope semantics both fixed, match_limit() finally reported a genuine match (rc=1) for the FIRST time in this codebase's live history -- and the very next step (usage/threshold accounting) immediately broke: limit_job_election()'s loop aborted after the first matching limit, so no limit past it in iteration order was ever evaluated for that job.
## Environment
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._
## Reproduction
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._
## Root cause
match_job_global_limit_(), right after a successful match_limit(), does `rc = key_find(privdata->instances, vresname, &vres); if (rc <= 0) { return rc; }` before the `if (vres == NULL) { instantiate_limit(...) }` block below it. On the FIRST-EVER lookup of a given vresname (always true immediately after bug-1784/1785 made matching work for the first time), key_find() signals "not found" as a NEGATIVE rc (confirmed live: rc=-2/-ENOENT, not 0) -- this codebase's kvmgr convention elsewhere (get_group(), is_host_based_limit()) treats rc<=0 uniformly as "not found", so this specific early-return, written assuming rc==0 meant not-found and only negative meant a real error, unconditionally caught EVERY not-found case and returned before instantiate_limit() could ever run. limit_job_election()'s own loop breaks on any rc<0 from match_job_global_limit_, so this also silently aborted evaluation of every remaining limit for that job. Same defect class already fixed once before in this codebase, in a different pair of functions: bug-1495 (sched_get_user()/sched_get_project(), core.c) hit and fixed the identical rc<0-vs-not-found conflation.
## Fix
FIXED (2026-09-07). Removed the erroneous `if (rc <= 0) { return rc; }` guard entirely; `vres` (calloc'd NULL, only ever reassigned by a successful key_find) is already the correct, sufficient signal for "needs instantiation" via the existing `if (vres == NULL)` block immediately below -- mirrors this file's own build_vres_name/key_add error-handling style, just without conflating a legitimate not-found miss with failure. No new unit test added for this specific control-flow fix (see bug-1788's fix note for why: exercising limit_job_election() end-to-end requires a fully-wired xce_sched_core_t fixture -- resmgr, sharedInst, a real xce_sched_obj_t with initialized xlist_t/zarray_t fields -- judged not worth the fragility for a single control-flow correction already covered by full live E2E verification). Full scheduler suite: 76/77 (pre-existing bug-1762). LIVE-VERIFIED: after this fix (combined with bug-1787/1788, needed to get all the way through), all 7 limits in limits.yaml now appear in match_job_global_limit_'s own trace log for every job submission, where previously only the first one in iteration order ever did.
## Verification
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._
