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-1505: controller_unit_test SIGSEGV in write_WalCatchupEntry (lib/controller.capnp.c)…
Description
controller_unit_test SIGSEGV in write_WalCatchupEntry (lib/controller.capnp.c), test_wal_catchup_append_term_fields_round_trip -- discovered incidentally while chasing bug-1504; NOT fixed, logged for its own follow-up.
Environment
Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json).
Reproduction
Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json).
Root cause
Same root cause as bug-1504 (Data-field codegen no-op leaves an uninitialized stack capn_ptr in the generated encode_XXX_ptr()'s local struct), a DIFFERENT field: WalCatchupEntry.payload (@2: Data), in the controller's HA/WAL-catchup subsystem (bug-847's own territory -- see controller.capnp's comment there), entirely unrelated to scheduler-core. Confirms this is a systemic, project-wide bug class affecting every :Data field in controller.capnp whose bytes are populated via the generic encode_XXX()/write_XXX() composite pipeline rather than fully hand-written low-level accessor code -- not a one-off. Known/suspected other Data fields with the same latent gap: ReplayHeader.configHash (dormant so far, no real consumer), CtrlHelloRequest.key, and possibly others not yet audited.
Fix
FIXED 2026-08-07. Investigated production exposure first: xce_wal_batch_encode_raw()/wal_entry_to_wire() (request.c) never call the generic encode_WalCatchupEntry() at all -- they memset() their own struct and call write_WalCatchupEntry() directly with every field hand-set, deliberately leaving payload unset (bug-847's own comment). So this bug was 100% test-only exposure, zero production risk, confirmed by grepping every caller of encode_WalCatchupEntry_ptr/decode_WalCatchupEntry (only test_e2e_capnp.c uses the generic path). Fix: same as bug-1504 -- changed WalCatchupEntry.payload (@2) and batchPayloads (@10) from Data to List(UInt8) in controller.capnp, with batchPayloadsLen (@11, new) as batchPayloads' maplistcount companion (payload reuses the existing wirePayloadLen @9). Verified batchPayloads' own top-level-single-blob shape means this does not reintroduce bug-847's per-element cross-segment far-pointer loss (that issue is inherent to PER-ELEMENT data regardless of Data vs List(UInt8) spelling -- payload, the per-element field, was already legacy/unpopulated in production before this fix and stays that way; batchPayloads is single top-level, never subject to that issue either way). Updated typemap.h's wal_catchup_entry_t field types (xce_data_t* -> uint8_t*, new batch_payloads_wire_len). Fixed request.c's extract_data_bytes() to accept a raw capn_ptr instead of capn_data (it already only ever used .p internally) so all 4 call sites (WalCatchupEntry.payload/batchPayloads, SnapshotTransfer.payload, per-sub-entry we.payload) work regardless of which Data-shaped wrapper type the accessor returns. Strengthened test_wal_catchup_append_term_fields_round_trip (test_e2e_capnp.c) with real payload/batchPayloads content assertions (previously never exercised at all, since the test's src.payload/batch_payloads were left NULL). Verified: controller_unit_test no longer crashes (3/3 controller suite), scheduler suite unaffected (37/37, unrelated schema area).
Verification
Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json).
