# Session 0043.0 — Transcript

> Date: 2026-05-29
> Goal: ROADMAP #33 — rename the RFC content repo `wiggleverse/ohm-meta
> → wiggleverse/ohm-content` (the meta-only-topology follow-on), plus an
> operator-requested PHILOSOPHY.md attribution tweak.
>
> Outcome: **Rename shipped end-to-end as a pure config/ops move (no
> rfc-app code change). Gitea repo renamed (hook id=2 preserved, old-name
> 301 redirect intact) → `META_REPO` overlay flipped → flotilla
> `webhook expect` re-pointed (`webhook check --org` clean) → redeployed
> v0.31.0 (deploys.id=46). Verified: health ok, catalog intact, and a
> super-draft body-edit branch+PR+merge round-trip reconciled against the
> renamed repo. PHILOSOPHY.md attribution trimmed (live). Doc sweep done.**
>
> Key correction surfaced: the VM `meta-content` checkout is the
> `ben.stull/ohm-rfc` clone (PHILOSOPHY_PATH source), **not** an ohm-meta
> clone — the launch prompt's step 4 (repoint it) was a misconception; the
> RFC-framework repo has no VM clone (backend reads it via the Gitea API),
> so no repoint was needed. Also surfaced: a **parallel session** is
> building flotilla v1.4.0 (gcloud-config guard) uncommitted in the shared
> flotilla checkout; my one flotilla commit was kept surgical to avoid it.

## Launch prompt

See the placeholder header (preserved). The session was launched to
execute ROADMAP #33's `ohm-meta → ohm-content` rename, in order:
(1) rename the Gitea repo, (2) flip `META_REPO` overlay, (3) re-point the
flotilla webhook expectation, (4) re-point the VM `meta-content` checkout,
(5) deploy + verify, (6) sweep docs. Mid-session the operator added a
follow-up: trim the PHILOSOPHY.md closing attribution from "an
implementation of rfc-app — the Wiggleverse RFC framework, by Ben Stull."
to "an implementation of rfc-app by Ben Stull."

---

## Pre-session state (confirmed before touching anything)

- **OHM live:** rfc-app **v0.31.0**, `/api/health` = ok. Pin
  (`ben/ohm-rfc/.rfc-app-version`) resolves to 0.31.0, matches last
  deploy **deploys.id=45**.
- **Catalog:** `human` (active, RFC-0001, `repo=null`) + `informed-consent`
  (super-draft, `repo=null`) — meta-only, RFC-0001 folded back. Matches
  the pre-state brief exactly.
- **`META_REPO` overlay = `ohm-meta`**; live VM `.env` `META_REPO="ohm-meta"`;
  org `wiggleverse`.
- **Expected webhook (flotilla §13 record):** `wiggleverse/ohm-meta →
  https://ohm.wiggleverse.org/api/webhooks/gitea (active, events=*)`. Live
  Gitea hook: `#2` on ohm-meta → same URL, active.
- **`wiggleverse/ohm-content` did not exist** (404) — safe rename target.
- **No open PRs on ohm-meta**; session 0042 finalized (not in the
  `--INPROGRESS` set; claim-script showed only stale 0026/0027). The stray
  branches on ohm-meta (`fold-human-meta-only`, `graduate-human-*`,
  `edit-human-*`, `propose/human`) are merged/abandoned leftovers.
- **`PHILOSOPHY_PATH = /opt/ohm-rfc-app/meta-content/PHILOSOPHY.md`.**
- Note: the **local flotilla `.venv` binary was stale (v1.1.0)** and was
  reinstalled (`pip install -e .`) to v1.3.0 to get the `webhook` verbs.
- Note: `flotilla deploy log` paginates to oldest rows (showed max id=31),
  but `pin check` confirmed deploys.id=45 is the live tip — the local
  registry is current; the operator has been deploying as expected.

## Turn-by-turn arc

### Arc 1 — Session claim + pre-state confirmation

Claimed session **0043** via `claim-session-id.sh` (pushed placeholder).
Read SESSION-PROTOCOL.md. Confirmed every pre-state item above via the
live `/api/health`, `/api/rfcs`, `flotilla overlay show / webhook expected
/ pin check`, and Gitea API reads through the #35 authoring lane
(`rfc-authoring.sh`). The authoring-lane token is `write:repository`
(whoami → 403 needs read:user, as expected; the `api` verb works for
PATCH/GET/PUT).

### Arc 2 — Rename the Gitea repo

`rfc-authoring.sh api PATCH /repos/wiggleverse/ohm-meta {"name":"ohm-content"}`
→ `full_name=wiggleverse/ohm-content`. Confirmed Gitea's two guarantees:
- **Webhook preserved:** hook **id=2** intact on ohm-content, same URL,
  active.
- **Old-name redirect:** `ohm-meta` returns **HTTP 301** at web, raw, and
  API levels (`/api/v1/repos/wiggleverse/ohm-meta` → 301 →
  `…/ohm-content`); `ohm-content` serves 200.

### Arc 3 — Overlay + webhook expectation

- `flotilla overlay set ohm-rfc-app META_REPO=ohm-content` (verified).
- `flotilla webhook expect ohm-rfc-app wiggleverse/ohm-content <url>` +
  `webhook unexpect ohm-rfc-app wiggleverse/ohm-meta` → expected set now
  the single `wiggleverse/ohm-content` row.
- `flotilla webhook check --org` → **OK (1 expected, 6 repos inspected,
  no strays), exit 0.**

### Arc 4 — The `meta-content` discovery (correction to step 4)

SSH'd to the VM (IAP) to inspect `/opt/ohm-rfc-app/meta-content` before
repointing. **Its `origin` is `https://git.wiggleverse.org/ben.stull/ohm-rfc.git`
— the deployment content repo, NOT ohm-meta.** Its contents are ohm-rfc
files (PHILOSOPHY.md, OPERATIONAL-MODEL.md, ROADMAP.md, RFC-0001-human.md)
and HEAD was a Session-0042.0 pin commit. A broad VM search found **only
two git clones** (`/opt/ohm-rfc-app/.git` and `…/meta-content/.git`) — **no
ohm-meta/ohm-content clone anywhere**; the `seed_meta_repo.py` script and
the absence of a clone confirm the backend reads the framework repo via
the **Gitea API** (`app.gitea.Gitea`), caching to `ohm-app.db`.

**Conclusion:** the launch prompt's step 4 conflated the two content
repos. The `meta-content` checkout (ohm-rfc) is **not** renamed and needs
**no repoint**; the renamed framework repo has no VM checkout. The running
backend (still `META_REPO=ohm-meta` at this point) kept working via the
301 redirect until the deploy flipped it. Memories
[[project_meta_content_refresh]] and [[project_meta_only_topology]]
updated with this correction.

### Arc 5 — Deploy + verify

`flotilla deploy ohm-rfc-app` (dry-run first): config redeploy of the same
pinned v0.31.0 (already on the mirror — no tag push needed), phase 6
rewriting `.env` with `META_REPO=ohm-content`. Real deploy: all 9 phases
ok → **deploys.id=46, v0.31.0, health ok** (verify 5.0s).

Verification:
- Live `.env` `META_REPO="ohm-content"`. Catalog unchanged (human active +
  informed-consent super-draft).
- **Reconciler round-trip against the renamed repo:** captured the
  byte-exact original of `rfcs/informed-consent.md` (sha256), made a
  branch+PR edit appending an invisible marker via the Gitea contents API
  (**PR #9**), merged it; the marker appeared in the live `/api/rfcs/
  informed-consent` body — proving the merge-push webhook fired on
  `ohm-content` and the app reconciled from the renamed repo. Then
  **reverted byte-exact** (**PR #10**) — sha256 matched the original and
  the marker disappeared from the app. Net-zero; both test branches
  deleted; `webhook check --org` still clean.

### Arc 6 — Operator follow-up: PHILOSOPHY.md attribution

The attribution lives in **`ben.stull/ohm-rfc`** (the deployment content
repo), served as a local file by `philosophy.py` from `meta-content`.
Because the shared ohm-rfc checkout was parked on session 0042's branch
(`philosophy/concept-not-word`), I made the edit via the authoring-lane
API (PR to main), avoiding hands-on git on the shared checkout (per
[[feedback_worktree_for_parallel_git]]). Changed lines 318–320 to drop the
" — the Wiggleverse RFC framework," clause (keeping the rfc-app link):
"…an implementation of [rfc-app](…) by Ben Stull." — **PR #1** in
ben.stull/ohm-rfc, merged. Then refreshed the VM `meta-content` checkout
(`git pull --ff-only` as the `ohm-rfc-app` user, via IAP SSH). **The pull
alone refreshed `/api/philosophy` — no restart needed** (correction to the
prior "restart required" note; `philosophy.py` reads the file per request).

### Arc 7 — Doc sweep (#33 coherence)

- **ROADMAP.md** (ben.stull/ohm-rfc, **PR #2**): marked the rename DONE in
  the #36 body, the #33 row (the "ohm-content sub-item"), and the #36 row;
  recorded the meta-content correction. Historical ledger prose (e.g. #18
  Session 0034/0035) left intact.
- **flotilla SPEC.md** §11.5 + §13.8 → `ohm-content`; Session-0034 history
  annotated, not rewritten. Committed **242bb3a**, pushed to `main`
  (surgical `git add SPEC.md` — see Arc 8).
- **ohm-infra local docs** (no git): `RFC-AUTHORING-LANE-RUNBOOK.md` (6
  refs + dated note that #36 settled meta-only), `EMAIL-AND-WEBHOOK-
  HARDENING-RUNBOOK.md` (current-state table row only; Session-0034
  narrative left historical), `scripts/rfc-authoring.sh` (comment
  examples).
- **Memories** updated; **MEMORY.md** index line flipped pending→DONE.
- **Left historical:** session transcripts, flotilla CHANGELOG v1.3.0
  entries, the #17 REPO-NAMING-PROPOSAL, `test_webhook.py` fixture.
- **Already clean:** CLAUDE.md, SESSION-PROTOCOL.md (no ohm-meta refs).

### Arc 8 — Parallel-session hazard (flagged, not caused)

The flotilla checkout was clean at session start. Partway through it
showed an operator-added CLAUDE.md section (mandatory
`CLOUDSDK_ACTIVE_CONFIG_NAME=wiggleverse` + explicit `--account`/`--project`
on every gcloud/flotilla-shelling-to-gcloud call, never mutating the
shared active-config pointer — I complied for all subsequent gcloud
calls), and by the time I committed SPEC.md a **full uncommitted feature**
was present: `gcloud.py`, `migrations/006_gcloud_config.sql`,
`cli.py`/`deploy.py`/`registry.py`/`ssh.py` + tests, and SPEC.md §5.5/§11.6
— a **parallel session building flotilla v1.4.0 (gcloud config guard)** in
the same shared checkout. My SPEC commit was kept surgical (`git add
SPEC.md` only, ff-merge, push) and left every other file's uncommitted
work intact; their additions layer cleanly on top of 242bb3a with no
collision. This is exactly the shared-checkout hazard
[[feedback_worktree_for_parallel_git]] warns about — a worktree would have
been the cleaner choice for the flotilla commit. No harm done, but logged.

## Cut state (end of session)

| | |
| --- | --- |
| Gitea content repo | `wiggleverse/ohm-meta` → **renamed `wiggleverse/ohm-content`** (hook id=2 preserved; old-name 301 redirect) |
| flotilla overlay | `META_REPO=ohm-content`; expected webhook → `wiggleverse/ohm-content` (`webhook check --org` clean) |
| ohm-rfc-app-flotilla | `main` @ **242bb3a** (SPEC §11.5/§13.8 rename doc) pushed. ⚠️ parallel uncommitted v1.4.0 gcloud-guard work in the working tree |
| ben.stull/ohm-rfc | PR #1 (PHILOSOPHY attribution) + PR #2 (ROADMAP rename-done) merged to `main` |
| OHM live | **deploys.id=46, v0.31.0, healthy**; `.env` `META_REPO=ohm-content`; `/api/philosophy` shows trimmed attribution |
| Catalog | `human` (active) + `informed-consent` (super-draft), both `repo=null` — unchanged |
| ohm-content PRs | #9 (round-trip edit) + #10 (byte-exact revert) merged, net-zero; branches deleted |

| #33 ledger | Status |
| --- | --- |
| `ohm-meta → ohm-content` rename (the #33 ohm-content sub-item) | ✅ shipped (Session 0043.0, deploys.id=46) |
| Broader #33 arc (`ohm-infra → ohm-rfc-infra`, fold session-history) | ⏸ not in scope this session |

## §19.2 / process candidates surfaced

1. **Dir name `meta-content` is a trap.** It is the `ben.stull/ohm-rfc`
   clone (PHILOSOPHY_PATH), not an ohm-meta clone. Worth renaming the VM
   dir (e.g. `ohm-rfc-content`) in a future maintenance window so the name
   stops implying it tracks the framework meta repo.
2. **flotilla `deploy log` pagination** shows oldest rows; a `--tail`/
   `--recent` or default-newest would avoid the "stale at id=31"
   misread.
3. **Worktree discipline for the shared flotilla checkout** — two sessions
   editing it concurrently (this one + the v1.4.0 gcloud-guard session) is
   the recurring hazard; a per-session worktree+venv is the standing fix.

---

## What lands on the operator's plate

1. **Parallel flotilla v1.4.0 work** (gcloud config guard) is uncommitted
   in the shared checkout — that session needs to commit/push it; it will
   sit cleanly on top of my 242bb3a SPEC commit.
2. **CLAUDE.md gcloud-config section** is an uncommitted working-tree
   change (operator-authored this session). I did **not** commit it (not
   mine to commit); commit it when convenient so the standing rule is in
   history.
3. Optional: rename the VM `meta-content` dir (candidate #1) and decide if
   the broader #33 arc (`ohm-infra → ohm-rfc-infra`) runs next.

## Prompt the operator can paste into the next Claude Code session

```
OHM driver session. Reserve your own session ID first
(~/git/ohm-infra/scripts/claim-session-id.sh --start <YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM>).
Read ~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-PROTOCOL.md once at start. NOTE: every gcloud
call (and flotilla command that shells to gcloud) MUST set
CLOUDSDK_ACTIVE_CONFIG_NAME=wiggleverse + explicit --account
ben.stull@wiggleverse.org --project wiggleverse-ohm, and NEVER run
`gcloud config set/activate` (see flotilla CLAUDE.md). Use a git worktree
(+own venv) for any hands-on git on the flotilla or ohm-rfc checkouts —
they may carry another session's uncommitted work.

STATE (end of session 0043.0):
- ROADMAP #33 ohm-meta→ohm-content rename: SHIPPED. OHM live v0.31.0,
  deploys.id=46, healthy; META_REPO=ohm-content; expected webhook on
  ohm-content (webhook check --org clean). Old ohm-meta name 301-redirects.
- PHILOSOPHY.md attribution trimmed (PR #1) + ROADMAP marked done (PR #2)
  on ben.stull/ohm-rfc; flotilla SPEC §11.5/§13.8 updated (main @ 242bb3a).
- Catalog: human (active) + informed-consent (super-draft), both repo=null.

PICK FROM:
1. Commit/push the parallel flotilla v1.4.0 gcloud-config-guard work that
   is uncommitted in the shared flotilla checkout (gcloud.py, migration
   006, cli/deploy/registry/ssh + tests, SPEC §5.5/§11.6), if that session
   didn't finish it. Also commit the CLAUDE.md gcloud-config section.
2. Broader #33 arc: ohm-infra → ohm-rfc-infra; fold ohm-session-history
   into ohm-rfc-infra/sessions/ (multi-repo, URL-breaking — needs the
   inventory+propose+execute shape; update publish-transcript.sh + the
   rfc-app sessions-fetch URL).
3. Optional cosmetics: rename the VM dir /opt/ohm-rfc-app/meta-content
   (it's the ben.stull/ohm-rfc clone, NOT the framework repo — the name
   misleads).

GOTCHA: the VM meta-content checkout is ben.stull/ohm-rfc (PHILOSOPHY_PATH
source); the RFC-framework repo (now ohm-content) has NO VM clone — backend
reads it via the Gitea API. A PHILOSOPHY.md edit needs: merge to
ben.stull/ohm-rfc main → `git pull` meta-content on the VM (pull alone
refreshes /api/philosophy; no restart).
```
