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-1864: Standby controllers NACK in-order WAL catch-up entries (ae_reject_logmismatch, prevIdx one ahead…

Description

Standby controllers NACK in-order WAL catch-up entries (ae_reject_logmismatch, prevIdx one ahead of their log) ~576 times in a 45-min run (data/logs, 2026-09-25): e.g. ctrl-2 21:37:50.115 handled walCatchupEntry seq 258 (prevIdx=149) BEFORE seq 257 (prevIdx=148). With both standbys NACKing, the primary marks them catch-up, loses its write quorum and answers jobdispatch/join with E_XCE_NOT_READY (-10013) (ctrl-1 21:39:24.494); the scheduler client fails over (bug-1850), rejoins, and gets a JOBS_PUSH built from lagging committed state -> 'refusing resync state 0x1 ... existing job is RUN' WARNs for 14 jobs.

Environment

Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json).

Reproduction

Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json).

Root cause

vtaskmgr's dispatcher (pick_eligible_task -> dataq_deq(taskq, vtask_eligible)) evaluates each queued task's eligibility one item at a time while holding only the taskq lock; the per-endpoint busy flag it reads (endpoint_is_task_blocked) is cleared by the vcpu finishing the previous message WITHOUT that lock. Within one scan, task N (seq 257) is checked while the endpoint is still busy and skipped, the endpoint unblocks, and task N+1 (seq 258) for the SAME endpoint is then found eligible and dequeued first. endpoint_block_tasks gives mutual exclusion per endpoint but not FIFO order. Log proof (ctrl-2 21:37:50.113-.118): '04b650 not eligible' -> 'endpoint not blocked' -> '03cae0 eligible' in one scan; 03cae0=seq 258, 04b650=seq 257; tasks enqueued in arrival order by the single netio thread (vtask_handle_msg).

Fix

UPDATE (2026-09-25): Fix (uncommitted): dataq gains dataq_deq_ctx (per-scan matcher context); vtaskmgr's scan is now vtask_deq_eligible(taskq, is_blocked) with a per-scan set of endpoints found busy -- every later task of such an endpoint stays ineligible for the rest of that scan (overflow past 64 distinct busy endpoints makes all later IO tasks ineligible), so per-endpoint FIFO holds without taking any new lock (bug-1282 ABBA). Test lib/testsuite/test_vtask_order.c: is_blocked injected to flip ep busy->free mid-scan; reproduced the reorder (N+1 dequeued) before, NULL after; other-endpoint progress and FIFO/generic cases pass. Suites: lib 1/1, controller 5/5, worker 10/10, scheduler 87/87, harness 5/5. Reorder signature (reject prevIdx=K then accept K-1): user run 26 (-> 576 NACKs incl. cascades), pre-fix chaotic soaks 2 and 5.

Verification

Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json).
