Orphan removal: the database is the guard (#155)

(*Store).RemoveSeries deletes one series row by (site, series_id) via a
plain parameterized DELETE; a bookmarks_series_fk violation outside
23503 is translated into the ErrSeriesHasBookmarks sentinel so no
driver type escapes the store. The caller reads the row's cover
address before the delete and reclaims it after: ReclaimCover's guard
cannot pass while a series row still points at the address.

POST /admin/series/{key}/remove answers the list row with the removed
row's fragment plus the heading re-rendered out of band at the fresh
count (HX-Reswap: delete removes the row through the same button that
swaps the refusal back in), and navigates from the detail page to the
No-Readers list (HX-Redirect for htmx, a 303 for plain clients). A
removal that races a fresh Bookmark is a refusal, not a 500: the row
re-renders at its new count with the fact spelled out. The control
renders only at zero Reader count on both surfaces, gated by hx-confirm
with the brief's copy.

 `ticket-implementer` agent. Each dispatch names: the absolute brief path, the
 worktree path, the branch, the base ref, and the report path

-# 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`

-## 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.

-
-<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

-# 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.

-# ADR-0016: The failure row is the state
-
-Date: 2026-08-22
-Status: accepted
-
-## Decision
-
-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.
