Jake 592b894790 docs(cr-2026-04-22): add release-blocker issue tracker at docs/issues/
Captures the 12 items from docs/code-review-2026-04-22.md that
must land before v0.1 ships. One markdown file per issue with:
severity, path:line, problem description, acceptance criteria,
fix scope, and dependency graph.

Split by severity:
- 3 CRITICAL: live-session race, migration atomicity, transcript-
  profile FK
- 9 MAJOR: monolith refactor, channel-fatality, capture worker
  join, runtime capabilities, macOS App Nap, decoder error prop,
  LLM prompt preflight, keystore thread-safety, hotkey device
  filter

README.md indexes them with a fix-order dependency graph and a
fish-shell script for bulk-converting to GitHub issues once `gh`
CLI is installed and authed. Deferred step by user decision —
markdown tracker is authoritative until then.

RB-10 MAJOR: LLM prompts not preflighted against context window

Severity: MAJOR Path: crates/llm/src/lib.rs:143-166, :317-321 Source: 2026-04-22 code review Labels: release-blocker, major, llm

Problem

generate tokenises and batches the full prompt at runtime. context_window_size hard-caps context at 8192 tokens. Long transcripts (a 30-minute dictation session is easily 40006000 tokens after segment joining) reach inference with prompts already bigger than the available context — causing late runtime failure instead of a controlled early-exit path.

Acceptance

  • Before inference begins, the prompt token count is compared against the available context window (minus the expected response budget).
  • Oversized prompts either (a) surface a typed error the caller can handle gracefully, or (b) are truncated with a logged warning — decide during the fix.
  • Regression test: synthesise a transcript whose tokenised form exceeds 8192 tokens, assert the chosen behaviour (early error or truncated input).

Fix scope

Medium. Tokeniser access is already on the LLM path; the check is cheap. Decision work is in what to do when a prompt is too long (fail hard vs truncate).

Dependencies

  • None — standalone fix.
