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-1788: Found immediately after bug-1787: with the resmgr type-confusion fixed, instantiate_limit() still…

## Description
|
|
Found immediately after bug-1787: with the resmgr type-confusion fixed, instantiate_limit() still returned rc=-2/-ENOENT, still aborting limit_job_election()'s loop after the first limit -- reproduced identically on a scheduler's FIRST-EVER join to a freshly-started controller, ruling out any rejoin/resync-specific explanation.

## Reproduction

_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._

|
|
|
## Root cause
|
|
The EXACT same defect class as bug-1786, recurring twice more, plus a related truthiness bug, all inside instantiate_limit() itself: (1) `rc = key_find(resmgr, vresname, &(vres->vres)); if (rc < 0) { return rc; } if (rc == 0) { add_vres(...); }` -- live-confirmed via targeted diagnostic instrumentation that this key_find's own "not found" signal is rc=-2/-ENOENT (not 0) for THIS resmgr-backed lookup too, so the `if (rc<0) return rc;` guard caught every first-ever vresname lookup before the add_vres()-creates-it branch could run. (2) The immediately following lookup of the limit's underlying resource (limit->val.resname, e.g. "slots") had the identical `if (rc==0) return -ENOENT;` pattern, vulnerable to the same rc convention mismatch (not hit in this specific trace only because "slots" was already registered by the time it was reached, but latent). (3) `if (is_host_based_limit(resmgr, limit)) { shared = 0; }` checked bare truthiness of a function that can return a negative errno -- a non-zero, therefore truthy, value -- so a transient is_host_based_limit() failure would have incorrectly flagged a limit as host-based.

## Fix
|
|
FIXED (2026-09-07). All three corrected in instantiate_limit(): (1) `if (vres->vres == NULL) { add_vres(...); }` replaces the rc<0/rc==0 checks -- vres->vres is calloc'd NULL and only ever reassigned by a successful key_find, the same reliable-signal pattern as bug-1786's fix. (2) `if (vres->res == NULL) { return -ENOENT; }` replaces the equivalent rc<0/rc==0 pair for the resource-existence check. (3) `is_host_based_limit(resmgr, limit) > 0` replaces the bare truthiness check. No new unit test added (same reasoning as bug-1786: this function's correctness is now covered by full live E2E verification, and hand-building a resmgr+sched_core fixture for a unit test was judged not worth the fragility versus the live proof already obtained -- see bug-1786/1789 discussion). Full scheduler suite: 76/77 (pre-existing bug-1762). LIVE-VERIFIED: combined with bug-1784/1785/1786/1787, all 7 limits in limits.yaml (ug1_slots, ug2_slots_per_user, night_mem_pct, hg1_slots_per_host, ug1_normal_slots, limit1, limits2) now correctly appear in the trace and complete matching+instantiation for every job submission on a completely fresh, never-before-touched cluster deploy -- confirmed reproducible across 3 independent from-scratch redeploys, ruling out any deploy-specific or rejoin-specific artifact.
