Merge pull request 'fix: series removal sent its status line twice' (#176) from fix/series-remove-double-writeheader into main

adminSeriesRemove answered the list surface with two h.render calls -- the
row fragment and the out-of-band heading -- and h.render writes a status
line each time, so every removal logged "superfluous
response.WriteHeader call". The heading is an append to a response
already committed, so it now executes straight onto w, the way
writeChromeOOB already does it.

The regression test runs the router under a real server with a captured
ErrorLog: a ResponseRecorder never sees this warning, which is why the
existing removal test did not catch it.

-  subagents to negotiate is a merge conflict you scheduled.

-  as two briefs, or back to the user.

-## 3. Get the plan approved

-Present, and stop:

+# Plan tickets
+
+You produce the two artifacts the `implement-tickets` skill runs on: a **plan
+file** and one **brief** per ticket in the next wave. You write no ticket code
+and create no worktrees — that is the runner's half.
+
+Ticket source and tracker conventions: `docs/agents/issue-tracker.md`. `tea` usage: skill `gitea`.
+
+Called twice in a batch's life, at least: once to open it, then again after each
+wave lands, because a later wave's briefs may need what the last one changed. On
+a re-entry, read the existing `.scratch/<batch-slug>/plan.md` first and plan only
+the next unlanded wave — the waves and contracts already approved there stand
+unless the landed wave proved one wrong.
+
+## 1. Collect the tickets
+
+The user's argument is the selector: issue numbers, a label, a parent issue, or
+nothing. With nothing, take the open issues labelled `ready-for-agent`.
+
+Fetch each with `tea issue <n> --comments`, and read the **whole** body —
+acceptance criteria and the `Blocked by` line are what the rest of this skill
+runs on. A ticket whose blockers are still open is out of this batch unless a
+blocker is also in it. Read the issue each ticket refers to, its parent or spec,
+the same way: nothing on the implementation path reads the tracker after you —
+only `cr-spec` does, at review time — so a decision that lives in a comment
+reaches the implementer only if you carry it into the brief.
+
+## 2. Plan the batch
+
+Explore enough of the codebase to write briefs a fresh context can act on: the
+files each ticket lands in, the patterns it must follow, the `AGENTS.md`
+invariants it touches.
+
+Then decide three things:
+
+- **Waves.** Blocking edges set the order; tickets with no open blocker inside
+  the batch share a wave. Cap each wave at **3** concurrent tickets unless the
+  user set another width.
+- **Contracts.** Two tickets in one wave that meet at a function signature, a
+  JSON shape, a table column, or a token name: you decide the shape now and
+  write the identical wording into both briefs. A contract left for the
+  subagents to negotiate is a merge conflict you scheduled.
+- **Splits.** A ticket too big for one fresh context window goes into the wave
+  as two briefs, or back to the user.
+
+## 3. Write the artifacts
+
+Pick a `<batch-slug>` — short, from what the batch is about — and write
+`.scratch/<batch-slug>/plan.md`. It is the handoff: the runner is a fresh context
+that reads this and nothing of your reasoning.
+
+<plan-template>
+
+# Batch <batch-slug>
+
+**Base branch.** The branch every worktree forks from and merges back into.
+
+**Waves.** A table: wave number, ticket number, title, brief path, and status —
+`planned` | `dispatched` | `landed` | `handed back`. Every ticket in the batch,
+including waves not briefed yet.
+
+**Contracts.** Each cross-ticket contract verbatim, naming both ticket numbers.
+
+**Assumptions.** What you had to assume, and what the user corrected at approval.
+
+</plan-template>
+
+Then write a brief per ticket in the next wave to
+`.scratch/<batch-slug>/t<n>-brief.md`, using the template below, in the
+ubiquitous language of `CONTEXT.md` — a brief that says "scrape" where the domain
+says Poll hands the subagent the wrong model of the system.
+
+<brief-template>
+
+# Ticket #<n> — <title>
+
+**Decisions.** Whatever the ticket's comments or its parent spec settled that
+the body never got updated with, restated verbatim. The implementer reads this
+brief and the code, never the tracker — a decision missing here is lost to it,
+and a stale comment thread is not a source you want a fresh context guessing
+from. Omit only when the ticket has no comments.
+
+**Goal.** The end-to-end behaviour this ticket makes work, from the user's side.
+
+**Acceptance criteria.** Verbatim from the ticket.
+
+**Contract.** The exact shared signatures / shapes / names this ticket must

+# ADR-0014: Cover addresses derived from the bytes, not the source URL
+
+Date: 2026-08-22
+Status: accepted
+
+## Decision
+
+A Cover's content address is the hex SHA-256 of its **bytes**, not of the
+source URL it was fetched from. `CoverAddressForBytes(body)` names the address
+`putCover` stores under, `SetSeriesCover` and `ReplaceSeriesCover` point the
+Series row at it, and the wire URL is built from it exactly as before — same
+route, same 64-hex-digit shape, same immutability, only the input to the hash
+changes. Rows written before this ADR keep their URL-derived addresses
+forever: they are never rehashed on read, and they heal into byte addressing
+only when a Forced Poll replaces them.
+
+`ReplaceSeriesCover(site, seriesID, sourceURL, body, contentType)`
+`(previous, current, error)` is the one write that may move a Cover once one
+exists. It stores the bytes, then in one transaction locks the Series row,
+reads the old `cover_address`, writes the new one and the source URL, and
+reports both addresses: `previous == ""` means there was no Cover,
+`previous == current` means the Site served identical artwork, and any other
+pair names the stranded address.
+
+## Why a future reader will find this surprising
+
+The address is what makes a re-art visible at all. URL addressing collapses
+every image behind a stable URL into one address, so a Series whose Cover
+changes (a big-budget CPI blitz on a light novel is the standing example)
+keeps serving its original cover bytes: the poll refetches the same URL,
+hashes it, and the store records the same address, everyone happy except the
+Reader. Nothing in the system can detect the change, because the address is a
+pure function of the fetch target, and identical bytes written 1,000 times
+are one blob on disk. Storing bytes we already know how to store is only a
+few lines of work. **Rejecting that work is the surprising part, and the
+answer is the Forced Poll wave**: for a corrupt/blank cover the poll's
+fill-if-blank installer already worked, but for a *wrong but non-blank* cover
+there was no write that would move it at all — only a manual truth in
+`series.cover_address`, which is exactly the thing that must never be set by
+hand. Byte addressing gives the replacement write a **new address to write**,
+and with it a legitimate, transaction-safe mover.
+
+## Considered options
+
+**Keep URL addressing and add a generic "clear the cover" write.**
+Rejected: clearing is a two-phase action (blank it, wait for the poll to
+re-fill, hope the bytes changed in between) that cannot report what the
+write did, and it makes the Series render cover-less in between. The
+replacement write is atomic, reports its displacement, and has one effect:
+the Series now points at bytes that actually came from its source URL.
+
+**Address by URL, but salt it so a re-art is a new address.**
+Rejected: the salt would have to live somewhere addressable (a stored per-
+Series nonce), turning the address from a content fact into a mutable fact —
+two rows could then hold identical bytes under different addresses and the
+invariant "same bytes object" is gone.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- `store.CoverAddress` (URL-hash) is deleted; `CoverAddressForBytes` is
+  public so tests and the forced-poll wave can predict addresses from the
+  bytes fakes serve.
+- Legacy URL-addressed rows are read-only facts: `GetCover(sourceURL)` keeps
+  resolving them (the poll heal path), and they are re-addressed only by a
+  forced replacement. Until one happens, they are invisible to byte-derived
+  lookups — the reverse direction was always true, so this side has no
+  migration and no lookup fan-out.
+- A replaced Cover's old bytes stay on disk under their address (the `covers`
+  row is untouched — only the Series row moves). Nothing reclaims them
+  today; a later sweep is a small query over `covers` addresses not
+  referenced by any `series` row.
+- `SetSeriesCover` keeps its `cover_address = ''` guard untouched: the
+  acquisition-at-creation and poll fill paths still may not overwrite a
+  non-blank Cover. The two installers are now deliberately different
+  functions instead of one function with a conditional.
+- The address is still a filesystem path (≤64 hex chars, no separators), so
+  `coverAddressRe` and the sharding stay exactly as they are.
+
+## Cost of reversing
+
+The URL-hash side of the current rows is uncomputable from the rows alone: a
+rollback would need every stored blob's source URL, a join to a table that
+does not store it, or a refetch of every Series. Keeping both derivations
+resolvable is cheaper than either, so the two derivations are documented in
+the 0009 migration comment: no component may assume which derivation a
+stored address came from, because the 64-hex shape hides it.

+# ADR-0015: Finished is a fact about the Series, not a bookmark bucket
+
+Date: 2026-08-22
+Status: accepted
+
+## Decision
+
+"Finished" moves from the per-Reader `bookmarks.status` bucket to a
+Series-owned flag: `series.finished_at`, unix ms, zero while the Series is
+still running. The Lane's gate reads the flag — a Series is polled only while
+`finished_at = 0` — and `bookmarks.status` keeps exactly two values,
+`reading` and `archived`.
+
+The cutover is one-way, done by migration 0016 in three load-bearing
+statements:
+
+1. `ALTER TABLE series ADD COLUMN finished_at bigint NOT NULL DEFAULT 0`.
+2. Seed it from the bookmarks: a Series is stamped finished when no bookmark
+   on it is outside the `finished` bucket. This mirrors the pre-cutover due
+   gate exactly — the old query skipped a Series only while
+   `COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE status <> 'finished') = 0` — so no Series changes
+   polling state at the cutover.
+3. Rewrite every `finished` bookmark to `archived`. The bucket is gone; the
+   seed ran first because it is the only statement that can still read it.
+
+The JSON API rejects a `finished` status with the same plain 400 as any
+unknown value, and the web UI no longer offers a Finished tab, a finish
+button, or a finished state badge.
+
+## Why a future reader will find this surprising
+
+The bucket looked Reader-shaped but described a Series fact. A Series is
+finished once, and every Reader reading it is then on a finished Series —
+yet the bucket carried three copies of the answer, one per Reader, free to
+disagree. The disagreement is not theoretical: a second Reader who merely
+kept the Series (or never read it) kept it in `reading`, so the poll gate
+kept fetching a Series the first Reader had closed out, forever. Worse, the
+disagreement was never resolvable — nothing in the system could say "this
+Series is finished" without rewriting every bookmark, which silently edits
+another Reader's progress state.
+
+The flag is also the only memory of the bucket after the flip. `finished`
+bookmarks become `archived` because a two-value status needs no third
+value, and an archived row must keep meaning "shelved, but the Series is
+being watched" — which is what the row says. The migration's seed is what
+keeps the legacy meaning: a Series every Reader finished is stamped, so the
+Lane stops polling it just as it would have pre-cutover; a Series any
+Reader still reads is left alone, exactly as the old gate left it. A
+Series whose every Reader only shelved (archived) continues to be polled,
+because an archived bookmark is *supposed* to be polled — the cutover
+changes the answer, it does not invent it. And because the flag is a series
+fact, the cutover also repairs the disagreement case: the moment one Reader
+has the Series open, it reads as finished to everyone.
+
+The migration is the only writer of the flag today; the undo is writing 0,
+which returns the Series to the poll. An owner-facing "mark finished" write
+is deliberately not part of this change — the gate is what this ticket
+rewrites, and the write can land on top of it without touching anything
+here.
+
+The userscript merge ranks `archived > reading` now. `finished` is not a
+value the wire can carry, so the merge cannot un-finish a row — it cannot
+even name the state it is protecting.
+
+## Considered options
+
+**Keep the bucket and add the flag alongside it, both live.**
+Rejected: two sources of truth for one fact, with the Lane forced to
+resolve "any Reader finished?" on every due query and every Reader write
+still able to resurrect a finished Series. The whole point of the change is
+that the finished state survives Readers.
+
+**Stamp a Series finished when every bookmark is finished *or* archived.**
+Rejected: it flips polling state at the cutover. Shelved-only Series were
+polled before; making them finished stops the checks the reader knowingly
+asked to keep.
+
+**Finish as "no bookmark is reading", leaving the buckets untouched.**
+Rejected for the same reason plus one: `archived` is a Reader's own state
+and the flip is what makes the flag the *only* source of finished. Keeping
+the `finished` value in the table would force every status validation,
+merge and UI branch to keep handling a value no write can produce.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- `bookmarks.status` is validated to `reading | archived`, empty meaning
+  "keep the stored value"; the API's 400 for `finished` is now the generic
+  invalid-status rejection rather than a special case, and the web UI's own
+  status control rejects it the same way.
+- The Lane due query and the eligible count read `finished_at`; a Forced
+  Poll (issue #146) still overrides the flag — the owner asked, so the Lane
+  looks — and the pending force clears itself when the pass stamps the
+  check timestamp, never by touching `finished_at`.
+- The web UI has no Finished tab; finished Series render in Archived with
+  their archived badge, dimmed like any shelved row.
+- Migration 0016 stamps `finished_at` with the migration's own clock
+  (`now()` ms), which is also the undo: write 0 and the Series returns to
+  the poll.
+
+## Cost of reversing
+
+The finished buckets are destroyed by the flip; reversing means re-deriving
+per-Reader finished state from a Series fact that now encodes the
+majority-agreement snapshot plus whatever the owner reset since. The stamp
+differentiates "finished at the cutover and untouched" from "finished
+later", but not which Reader's choice each Series carried, and any Series
+the owner has since restored is gone from the derivation entirely. The ADR
+is a statement of intent to ship the one-way cutover and live with its
+consequences; the per-Reader history is not kept anywhere in the schema.

+A Series that used to work and has stopped is recorded in one table,
+`poll_failures`, keyed by the same `(site, series_id)` composite the rest of
+the system uses. One row per failing Series, carrying the outcome word and a
+`failing_since` stamp. The row's **existence** is the failure state: there is
+no success sentinel, no counter, no history, and nothing added to the Series
+row. A correct read deletes the row, and a repeated identical failure writes
+nothing — the stamp ages the run of failures, not the current word.
+
+The write is one upsert, from the poll pass loop:
+
+```sql
+INSERT INTO poll_failures (site, series_id, outcome, failing_since)
+VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4)
+ON CONFLICT (site, series_id) DO UPDATE SET outcome = EXCLUDED.outcome
+WHERE poll_failures.outcome <> EXCLUDED.outcome
+```
+
+`failing_since` is simply absent from the `SET` arm, so it is never
+overwritten, and the `WHERE` makes an unchanged word write nothing at all —
+one statement, no read-then-write race. The clear is a plain `DELETE`; a row
+that is not there is not an error, because the poller clears on every
+successful read and most clears find nothing. The composite foreign key
+cascades: deleting a Series takes its failure row, so orphan removal stays a
+single statement.
+
+## Why a future reader will find this surprising
+
+The failure state lives in a table of its own, not on the Series row and not
+in the pass log. A flag on `series` would be the familiar shape, and the
+pass log already records outcomes per pass — why a third place?
+
+Because the failure must outlive the pass that observed it and mean
+something the pass row cannot say. The pass log is a per-Lane stream: it
+records that a Site returned N `errors` and M `not_found` on a given run,
+but "this exact Series has been failing for three months" is not a question
+any single pass row answers — it is a question across rows, and the Lanes
+page is a live view of the last 14 days, not a Series index. A Series-level
+fact needs Series-level storage, and a flag on the Series row is the wrong
+shape too: the failure is *transient by definition* (a correct read ends it)
+and *repeatable* (the same Series can fail again next year), so the honest
+record of "failing since" is a stamp that moves, not a column that flips.
+A row that is created and deleted by the read's outcome is that stamp, and
+nothing else: the moment a read succeeds the row is gone, so "is this Series
+failing?" is answered by one indexed existence check — no success sentinel
+to keep consistent with the failure, no counter to reset, no history to
+prune. The state cannot drift out of step with the reads that maintain it,
+because the reads *are* the maintenance.
+
+The two no-write outcomes are the second surprise. `refused` (the Site is
+holding a challenge) and `unreachable` (the browser sidecar was lost
+mid-loop) issue **no statement at all** — neither an upsert nor a delete.
+The direction matters, and both directions are wrong to touch:
+
+- **Writing would condemn a whole library for one Site's bad day.** A
+  refusal is the Site's mood, not a fact about any particular Series: when
+  Cloudflare turns a zone's JS detection on, every Series on that Site reads
+  refused in the same pass. Writing those rows would stamp every Series in
+  the library as failing on the evidence of one Site's configuration, and
+  #166's worklist would present a Site-wide outage as thousands of broken
+  Series.
+- **Deleting would claim a recovery nothing read.** A lost sidecar tells us
+  nothing about the page — the read never happened. Deleting the row would
+  report the Series healthy, and worse, it would reset `failing_since`: the
+  age that makes a three-month failure findable would start over on a
+  browser restart, erasing evidence no page read contradicted.
+
+So a refusal or an unreachable pass leaves the table exactly as it found
+it — the pass neither adds rows that would condemn nor deletes rows that
+would claim recovery. The four outcomes that are real evidence about the
+page (`not_found`, `no_chapter`, `unfetchable`, `errors`) write; the two
+that are not write nothing; success deletes. There is no third case.
+
+## Considered options
+
+**A `failing_since` column on the Series row, alongside the failure word.**
+Rejected: it is two more columns on a table every due query and every
+bookmark join already touches, for a state that is transient and repeatable.
+The column would need its own "clear on success" writer anyway — the same
+maintenance the row has — while permanently widening the hottest table in
+the system for a value that is usually absent. And the worklist's join
+would have to distinguish "never failed" from "currently healthy", which
+is exactly the sentinel problem the row avoids: an empty column means both.
+
+**A counter or last-outcome timestamp instead of (or beside) the row.**
+Rejected: nothing in the system consumes a failure *count* or a
+last-outcome time — the worklist needs "failing and since when". A counter
+invites "three failures = something" thresholds that the ticket explicitly
+keeps out of scope, and a last-outcome timestamp conflates "the word
+changed" with "the run restarted", which the age is deliberately defined
+against. The stamp is the only number that means anything, and the row
+carries exactly that.
+
+**Write into `poll_passes` and derive the failure state from the pass
+stream.**
+Rejected: a pass row is per-Lane and per-run; deriving "this Series is
+failing since" means scanning 14 days of outcome counts per Series and
+guessing at continuity across retention boundaries. The pass log answers
+"what did this Site's lane do recently"; the failure table answers "which
+Series are broken right now". Two questions, two tables — the pass log is
+already pruned on a fixed cutoff, which would silently reset every
+failure's age the moment the evidence aged out.
+
+**Refused/unreachable write nothing, but the delete happens anyway (or the
+upsert happens, with no delete).**
+Rejected in both directions, above: writing condemns a library for one
+Site's mood; deleting claims a recovery nothing read and resets the age
+that makes a long failure findable. The asymmetry is the point — the two
+outcomes are evidence about the *environment*, never about a page.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The poller writes from the pass loop, one call after `checkOne`, and
+  clears through the ordinary success path: a Forced Poll that reads the
+  page deletes the row with no forced branch of its own, and a Forced Poll
+  *request* — which only stamps the request — clears nothing.
+- `poll_failures` is a poll-write table like `poll_lanes` and
+  `poll_passes`: the store's two methods live next to the Lane-pass
+  writers, and neither runs on a request path. A store failure is logged
+  and the poll continues — a failure row is best-effort, and no single bad
+  Series may stall a Lane.
+- The due query does not join the table. A failing Series is polled at the
+  same pace as any other, because the moment the query started pacing by
+  failure state, the age would stop meaning what the worklist reads it as.
+- Orphan removal stays a single statement: the composite foreign key's
+  `ON DELETE CASCADE` is what takes the failure row with the Series.
+- The table starts empty at deploy, so nothing is findable for the first
+  twelve hours after deploy and a pre-existing breakage reads as new.
+  Accepted; the alternative is inventing history.
+
+## Cost of reversing
+
+The failure state is derived, not stored: a rollback drops the table and
+every in-progress failure age with it, leaving the pass log's outcome
+counts as the only trace — which is exactly the "log line nobody reads"
+the ticket set out to replace. Recreating the table later starts the ages
+over, so a reversal that is later reversed loses the evidence of the
+intervening failures. The failure state itself, however, is the one thing
+that is *not* lost by reversing: it is re-derived from the next pass, in
+the same direction the original design derives it — the row is
+recreated by the next failing read and deleted by the next good one.
