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-1806: xce-harness-component task 4.3: /xce-build controller alone still rebuilds harness/xce_test on…

Description

xce-harness-component task 4.3: /xce-build controller alone still rebuilds harness/xce_test on disk under the default asan profile, apparently violating requirement 2.2 (controller-only build shall not produce xce_test as a side effect)

Environment

Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json).

Reproduction

Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json).

Root cause

Deterministic, not a flake -- confirmed via build-log line analysis. meson test (run by /xce-build controller's default RUN_TESTS=1 asan profile via meson test --suite controller) rebuilds every registered test()'s build-order dependencies PROJECT-WIDE before filtering which tests actually RUN by --suite. harness_unit_test's test() registration (src/harness/meson.build) has depends: [xce_test] (added task 2.1, verified load-bearing in task 4.2), so any meson test invocation -- even one scoped to --suite controller -- transitively relinks xce_test. The explicit step is clean (never references xce_test); only the SUBSEQUENT meson test step touches it. Task 3.1's own validation missed this because it checked for the OLD path (controller/xce_test, correctly absent) rather than the NEW path (harness/xce_test, which does get rebuilt).

Fix

NOT FIXED -- accepted as a documented Meson platform limitation (user decision 2026-09-14). Requirement 2.2 narrowed to scope the build system's guarantee to what it directly controls: the explicit compile-target list never names xce_test (still true and verified). Rejected alternatives: (a) add --no-rebuild to xce-build.sh's meson test calls -- non-trivial, since controller's OWN test suite already has 4 small standalone test binaries (sched_push_unit_test, sched_worker_change_unit_test, apiserver_push_unit_test, host_runusage_unit_test) not in its explicit compile target list, relying on this same auto-rebuild; fixing this properly means auditing and completing every component's explicit target list, with real regression risk; (b) restructure harness_unit_test's pty-spawning tests to drop the depends: edge and locate xce_test at runtime instead -- directly reverses the build-order guarantee task 4.2 just verified is real and load-bearing, reintroducing the stale/missing-binary risk it was added to prevent. requirements.md/design.md/tasks.md updated to reflect the narrowed, accurate guarantee.

Verification

Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json).
