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 records and their status
Kept separate from openwolf.md because openwolf update overwrites that file.
- Each bug is a Markdown record,
.wolf/bugs/<id>.md, written to the standard in.claude/skills/buglog/bug-record.md(what Description, Environment, Reproduction, Root cause, Fix and Verification must contain). Create and change records with thebuglogskill (scripts/buglog.py), which checks them against that standard. .wolf/buglog.jsonis an index generated from the records; never edit it..wolf/buglog-archive.jsonholds retired OpenWolf hook auto-detections.- The front-matter
statusis the only source of truth for whether a bug is open. Never infer it from the Fix text or tags: migrated records often quote "NOT FIXED" or "PENDING" from earlier stages. - Values:
open: defect confirmed and still in the code. Intermittent test failures that do still recur count asopen, notcannot-reproduce.partial: part fixed;status_notesays what remains.investigating: real failure observed, root cause not found yet or waiting for a reproduction.fixed: fix committed;fix_commitslists the commit(s) and the Verification section says how the fix was proven.cannot-reproduce: reproduction was attempted and failed; record what was tried inrepro_attempts(e.g. "0/40 runs, 2026-08-01").wontfix: not a bug, accepted limitation, or deferred with no plan.duplicate: same defect as another record; setduplicate_of.
- Change status only with
python3 scripts/buglog.py status <id> <status>(--notefor every status exceptfixed;--commit <sha>forfixed). It setsstatus_updatedand refuses a change the record doesn't support. - A
cannot-reproducebug that recurs:buglog.py recur <id>bumpsoccurrences/last_seenand setsstatusback toinvestigating. - Open-bug list:
python3 scripts/buglog.py list --open, or from the index:jq -r '.bugs[] | select(.status | IN("open","partial","investigating")) | "\(.id) [\(.status)] \(.status_note // .error_message[0:90])"' .wolf/buglog.json - Records with no valid status need triage:
python3 scripts/buglog.py triage.
