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-1450: xce-audit-invariants controller pass (dim: async I/O thread-role) found ha_demotion_convergence_fn…
Description
xce-audit-invariants controller pass (dim: async I/O thread-role) found ha_demotion_convergence_fn scheduled directly as a delaymgr task body with no vtask/slow-lane hop: it truncates the WAL (persist_truncate_wal_above, file I/O under p->lock) then calls ha_self_restart (tlog_exit synchronous log flush + execv) -- all inline on the delaymgr thread, the SAME single thread that drives heartbeats and election timeouts cluster-wide for the whole cluster.
Environment
Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json).
Reproduction
Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json).
Root cause
ha_demotion_convergence_fn (ha_convergence.c) ran its full body -- truncate + self-restart -- synchronously on whatever thread invoked it (the delaymgr worker in production). A prior fix attempt (2026-07-10, see bug-1429) tried moving this to a VTASK_LIVE_BLOCK vtask via c->ha.pool and deadlocked controller_unit_test, because c->ha.pool is never initialized/started by this file's lightweight unit-test fixtures (dc_setup), so a vtask enqueued VTASK_LIVE_BLOCK blocked forever waiting for a worker that never existed; that attempt was reverted.
Fix
Split ha_demotion_convergence_fn into a dispatcher (fast admin work: single-flight CAS on new ha_state_t field demotion_convergence_inflight, then slowlane_submit) and a new demotion_lane_fn slow-lane worker body running the actual truncate+self-restart (extracted into ha_demotion_convergence_do_run) -- the SAME established slow-lane pattern already used for snapshot send / config-push / peer connect in ha.c (ha_snapshot_send_dispatch, ha_config_push_offloadable, ha_connect_to_peer), not the vtask pool that deadlocked before. New feature flag g_drive_async_demotion_offload (ha_set_demotion_offload_for_test / ha_demotion_offload_enabled, ha.h/ha_convergence.c) gates the offload. IMPORTANT: defaulting this flag to ON (1) was tried first and reproduced a NEW real hang -- raft_cb_become_follower (which schedules this task) is exercised by a very broad set of pre-existing controller_unit_test fixtures across many files that never call slowlane_init, so the offloaded work was silently queued on an uninitialized c->slowlane (queued, never run -- no live workers) and downstream code waiting on the now-never-happening completion hung. Reverted the default to OFF (0), matching the ORIGINAL rollout discipline of the three reference offloads (all shipped OFF-by-default, flipped ON only in a later dedicated compatibility-audit pass -- raft-drive-async task 3.4). The mechanism is correct and covered by dedicated tests (test_demotion_offload_task_returns_promptly / test_demotion_inline_task_blocks_RED in test_demotion_convergence.c) that explicitly flip the flag ON against a fixture with a real slowlane_init'd lane. Flipping the cluster-wide default to ON is a follow-up compatibility audit across the full test suite, explicitly out of scope for this fix. Verified: standalone controller_unit_test binary run directly (bypassing meson) reports 976 Tests 0 Failures 0 Ignored, no hang/timeout.
Verification
Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json).
