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-1556: Every host using the documented hosts.yaml default (no max_slot, meaning 'auto-detect from CPU…

Description

Every host using the documented hosts.yaml default (no max_slot, meaning 'auto-detect from CPU count') gets 0 scheduling slots -- permanently blocks the scheduler from placing any job on that host

Environment

Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json).

Reproduction

Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json).

Root cause

hosts.schema.json documents max_slot: -1 as the 'auto-detect' sentinel, but HostConfig.mxj is UInt32 on the wire and cannot represent -1 (pycapnp raises capnp.KjException for a negative assignment). mapping.py's _build_host_config() worked around this by leaving mxj unset when max_slot was absent/negative, which capnp defaults to 0. worker.c's apply_join_state() then does nslots = hconfig->mxj; if (nslots < 0) nslots = maxcpus; -- but 0 is never < 0, so the auto-detect fallback never fires, and the host is explicitly configured with 0 slots. Confirmed live via a real deploy: resval -n slots showed value: 0.000000 for the default host. An existing test (test_mapping.py) even asserted this broken behavior as correct (assert h.mxj == 0).

Fix

mapping.py now sets mxj = HOSTCONFIG_MXJ_AUTO_DETECT (0xFFFFFFFF) instead of leaving it unset. The controller's int mxj field receives this via capn_read32()'s implicit uint32_t->int conversion, which reinterprets it back to -1 on this project's two's-complement target platforms -- no capnp schema change or C-side change needed, apply_join_state()'s existing nslots<0 fallback already handles a genuine -1 correctly (now proven by a new C regression test, test_apply_join_state_mxj_negative_one_falls_back_to_maxcpus, since no existing test exercised that branch with a negative mxj before). Updated the stale test assertion, added a new test for the absent-max_slot production case, and regenerated the xceadmin golden fixture (tests/fixtures/full/expected.bin) whose wire bytes changed as a result.

Verification
