- Line 10: Update the Show ID definition to specify the inclusive range
1..Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER, and update EpisodeRecipeId.recipeId validation to
reject values outside that range while preserving the positive-ID requirement.

Kotlin now rejects show IDs above Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER, matching the JS copy, and the identity contract states the range.

Summary
Adds
docs/EPISODE_IDS.md, the contract for episode identity: what identifies an episode, the fixed recipe ID formula, how keys are taken from stored data, how ID collisions are handled, and how the phone keeps several IDs for one episode.Motivation
The recipe ID is computed in Kotlin and JS today, and more implementations will follow. The rules lived only in code comments and tests, so nothing written down said which parts can never change or how a collision must be handled.
What changed
docs/EPISODE_IDS.md: identity (show ID, catalog key); the recipe formula, trim set and shared fixture hash (marked fixed); legacy and synthetic keys; collision rules for Room and keyless lookups; alias states, the single owner and projected state; validation; how the contract may change.ARCHITECTURE.md,core/rss/README.mdand theAGENTS.mddocumentation map link to it.EpisodeRecipeId.recipeIdrejects show IDs above 2^53 − 1 (SHOW_ID_MAX), matching the JS implementation, so both agree on every episode namespace.Behavior & compatibility
No listener-visible change.
EpisodeRecipeIdisn't used for storage yet; Podcast Index show IDs are far below the new limit.Impact (required)
