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-1417: [xce-test-ha --chaotic] FAIL round 4/10: election stall after killing ctrl-1 — ctrl-2 PreVote wins…
## Description
[xce-test-ha --chaotic] FAIL round 4/10: election stall after killing ctrl-1 — ctrl-2 PreVote wins but real election times out despite ctrl-3 granting RequestVote
## Environment
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._
## Reproduction
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._
## Root cause
vote_reply_dispatch passes local votes_idx (compressed, excludes self) directly to raft_on_vote_reply which expects ABSOLUTE peer index (includes self). For self_idx=1 (ctrl-2), ctrl-3's vote (absolute=2, local=1) lands in vote_replies[1]=ctrl-2's own self-slot → treated as duplicate → vote silently dropped. With ctrl-1 dead in chaotic mode, ctrl-2 only has self-vote (1 < quorum 2) → eternal timeout. Self_idx=0 and self_idx=2 are partially/fully immune due to index alignment luck. ha_repl_ack_abs_peer_idx() already exists (ha.c:3779) with correct mapping and passing tests — vote_reply_dispatch just doesn't call it.
## Fix
FIXED (src/controller/ha.c vote_reply_dispatch, ~line 5233): raft_on_vote_reply now receives ha_repl_ack_abs_peer_idx(ha, 1, idx) instead of the raw compressed local idx. ha_repl_ack_abs_peer_idx (ha.c:3779, already existed + unit-tested for the heartbeat-ACK path) performs the exact inverse of raft_cb_send_vote_request send-side remap: votes_idx < self_idx ? votes_idx : votes_idx + 1. ha_record_vote_reply (immediately preceding line) is UNCHANGED -- it correctly wants the compressed idx for ctx->votes[]. Confirmed pre_vote_reply_dispatch needs NO equivalent fix: raft_cb_send_pre_vote_request (ha.c:301) already stores the ABSOLUTE peer_idx in vctx->peer_idx for the PreVote path (explicit code comment there), matching raft_on_pre_vote_reply/pre_vote_replies[] absolute-index expectation -- only the real-vote send path (raft_cb_send_vote_request, ha.c:175) stores compressed. RED->GREEN: new unit test test_bug1417_middle_index_real_vote_from_peer2_not_dropped (test_ha_vote_send.c) drives a REAL 3-node election (self_idx=1) through raft_start_election then a genuine peer-2 grant via vote_reply_msg_handler_for_test (the actual decode/dispatch path, not the xce_vote_reply_hook bypass every other real-vote test in this file uses) -- reproduced Expected 2 Was 1 pre-fix, GREEN post-fix (votes_granted=2, role=RAFT_LEADER). Verified: full 79-group controller_unit_test sweep 0 new failures; 10-round --chaotic xce-test-ha soak PASS (committed_divergence=0, committed_job_loss=0, 18 jobs). Soak surfaced an UNRELATED, pre-existing --chaotic harness bug (run-ha-soak.sh run_chaotic_rounds: DOWN variable is not cleared on a skip-this-round no-primary-to-kill path, so a subsequent round calls start_node on the same already-running node without killing it first -- 6 stacked ctrl-2 processes observed piling up over rounds 5-10) -- confirmed via git diff this script was untouched by this fix, logged separately, NOT fixed here (out of bug-1417 boundary).
## Verification
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._
