Mark bc310d98cf revert(01): reopen Phase 1 — D-13 multi-EBML-concat is unplayable ...

REQ-video-ring-buffer flipped from [x] back to [ ]. ROADMAP.md Phase 1
row reverted from [x] Closed 2026-05-15 to [ ] reopened 2026-05-16.
STATE.md status flipped phase_complete → phase_reopened with full
historical narrative preserved.

Root cause (confirmed at byte level by gsd-debugger 2026-05-16):
D-13's concat-of-self-contained-WebM-segments architecture produces a
3-EBML-header WebM that standards-compliant Matroska parsers
(mpv, ffmpeg, Chrome HTMLMediaElement) play only as the first segment
(~9.94 s) and silently drop the remaining 2 segments. Confirmed via
operator mpv drag-drop test of BOTH the canonical 2026-05-15 closure
fixture and the 2026-05-16 UAT-produced fixture — both exhibit the
same broken playback.

The 2026-05-15 "operator-confirmed clean Chrome playback" assessment
was insufficient: it verified the file plays without freezing but did
not measure total duration. Phase 1's primary deliverable
(REQ-video-ring-buffer / SPEC §10 #7) is therefore NOT satisfied.

Fix path chosen by user: ts-ebml (parse) + webm-muxer (write) to
replace mergeVideoSegments file-concat with real single-EBML remux.
Will land as Plan 01-08 via fresh /gsd-plan-phase ceremony.

RED test landed in tests/offscreen/webm-playback.test.ts (2 new
assertions on container-format-duration + ffmpeg-full-decode-duration).
2 failures, 53 baseline tests still GREEN.

Option C port-lifecycle refactor (debug session
empty-archive-port-race, commits 674c415..f0871c0) DID land cleanly
and is retained — that fix was orthogonal and correctly resolved the
silent-empty-archive symptom that previously masked this deeper bug.
