# Session 0005.0 — Transcript

> Date: 2026-05-27 → 2026-05-28
> Goal: Execute Slices 1 and 2 of the `ohm-rfc-app-flotilla` SPEC §20
> slicing plan. Slice 1 = registry + non-secret overlay (no actuation).
> Slice 2 = secret references + Secret Manager bootstrap doc.
>
> Outcome: **Slice 1 shipped at v0.1.0** — committed (`581687a`) and
> tagged locally; not yet pushed. Python package skeleton, SQLite
> schema (migration 001), seven CLI verbs (`deployment {list, show,
> add, remove}` + `overlay {show, set, unset}`), Gitea Actions CI,
> register-ohm.sh as the executable form of SPEC §13, 15 pytest tests
> green. **Slice 2 code shipped in working tree, uncommitted, awaiting
> the operator-side Secret Manager bootstrap gesture before v0.2.0
> cut** — migration 002 (`secret_refs`), the `secrets` group of CLI
> verbs (`bind`/`unbind`/`list`), a Secret Manager read wrapper,
> `docs/secret-bootstrap.md` as the operator runbook, 35 pytest tests
> green. CHANGELOG block reads "0.2.0 — pending operator gesture";
> `VERSION` deliberately left at `0.1.0`.
>
> Two implementation decisions settled: CLI uses **Click** (not Typer),
> CI uses **Gitea Actions** (canonical remote is git.wiggleverse.org).
> Migration runner pattern mirrors `rfc-app/backend/app/db.py` — raw
> `.sql` files, filename stem stored in `schema_migrations.version`.
> Spec corrections (per §19.3 rule 2) normalized every `flotilla …
> ohm` reference in §20.1–§20.5 to `ohm-rfc-app` (the bound name from
> §13.1).
>
> Two harness-level issues surfaced and were fixed in-session: Click
> 8.2 removed the `mix_stderr` kwarg from `CliRunner` (broke Slice 1
> tests on first run); Slice 1's `test_open_db_is_idempotent` asserted
> a literal migration count of `1` and broke when Slice 2 added
> migration 002 (replaced with a no-re-apply invariant). Both were
> root-caused and fixed rather than worked around.

## Turn 1 — User

> run the session based on what's in memory

## Turn 1 — Assistant

Read the project memory at
`/Users/benstull/.claude/projects/-Users-benstull-projects-wiggleverse-ohm-rfc-app-flotilla/memory/`
to recover context: `MEMORY.md` (the index),
`project_ohm_rfc_app_flotilla.md` (this repo's framing, with the
§20 slicing plan and the standalone-tool-not-library commitment),
`project_open_human_model.md` (OHM = corpus, RFC = process),
`project_wiggleverse.md` (founder/org/spec split), and
`project_ohm_deployment_host.md` (live URL is `ohm.wiggleverse.org`,
deprovisioned host was `rfc.wiggleverse.org`).

Memory was unambiguous: v0.0.1 ships only `SPEC.md`; the §20 slicing
plan names Slice 1 as the next session ("Subsequent build sessions
pick a slice off this list"). User's prompt "run the session based on
what's in memory" was parsed as "execute Slice 1."

Read repo state:

```
$ ls -la
SPEC.md      70774 bytes
CHANGELOG.md   644 bytes
README.md      773 bytes
LICENSE       1066 bytes
VERSION          6 bytes   (0.0.1)
.git/

$ git log --oneline -10
a9a9aaa Release 0.0.1: initial spec
```

Read SPEC §20 in full (1318–1479) — confirmed Slice 1 scope:
Python project skeleton with Click entrypoint, SQLite schema per §4.3,
seven CLI verbs (`deployment add/list/show/remove`, `overlay
set/unset/show`), register OHM per §13.1–§13.6 (everything except
secrets and pin reading), pytest round-trip tests. Exit criteria:
`flotilla deployment show ohm-rfc-app` and `flotilla overlay show
ohm-rfc-app` render the OHM record. Ships as v0.1.0.

Spotted a spec inconsistency: §20.1 exit criteria reads `flotilla
deployment show ohm` then `flotilla overlay show ohm-rfc-app` — two
different names for the same deployment. §13.1 binds `name =
ohm-rfc-app`. Per §19.3 rule 2, flagged for in-session correction.

Two implementation choices remained per the spec: CLI library (§12
says "Click or Typer; either is fine — this is an implementation
choice the Slice 1 session settles") and CI platform (§20.1 calls for
a "CI scaffold" but doesn't say which). Asked the user via
AskUserQuestion, recommending Click + Gitea Actions (canonical
remote is git.wiggleverse.org).

## Turn 2 — User

Both recommendations accepted:
- CLI lib: **Click**
- CI scaffold: **Gitea Actions**

## Turn 2 — Assistant

Dispatched one Explore agent to survey `rfc-app` for patterns to
mirror — project layout, version-file format, migration runner shape,
`schema_migrations` columns, test layout, CI presence, CLAUDE.md
conventions, CLI framework (if any). In parallel, read SPEC §12 in
full to confirm CLI surface details (`--json` on every read verb,
errors to stderr + non-zero exit).

Explore agent report (under 400 words):

- rfc-app is TypeScript frontend + Python (FastAPI) backend, no CLI
- VERSION file at root, mirrored in `frontend/package.json#version`
- Migrations: numbered `.sql` files in `backend/migrations/`
  (`001_users_and_audit.sql` … `011_allowlist.sql`); hand-rolled
  runner at `backend/app/db.py:34-54`; `schema_migrations` table is
  `(version TEXT PRIMARY KEY, applied_at TEXT DEFAULT datetime('now'))`
  with `version` storing the filename stem
- pytest, no conftest.py at root, tests in `backend/tests/`
- No CI in rfc-app — the user has no precedent to follow there
- CLAUDE.md exists at `/Users/benstull/git/rfc-app/CLAUDE.md` with
  separation-of-concerns + VERSION mirroring rules
- No CLI framework in rfc-app

Entered plan mode (`EnterPlanMode`) and wrote a structured plan to
`/Users/benstull/.claude/plans/snappy-cuddling-zebra.md`. Plan covered:
repo bootstrap (`pyproject.toml`, package skeleton, Click entrypoint,
Python `>=3.12`), DB layer (mirror rfc-app's runner shape), migration
001 (deployments + overlay_entries + schema_migrations, including
`target_vm_tunnel_through_iap` from §13.2 even though §4.3's
illustrative list omits it), registry as pure data layer
(dataclasses + CRUD, no Click), CLI verbs (Slice 1 scope only — not
`secret`/`pin`/`deploy`), `scripts/register-ohm.sh` as the executable
form of §13, pytest with temp-SQLite fixture, Gitea Actions
`.gitea/workflows/test.yml`, VERSION bump + CHANGELOG + spec
correction. Out of scope explicitly: secrets, pin reading, deploy
gesture, memory updates.

Called `ExitPlanMode`.

## Turn 3 — User

Plan approved.

## Turn 3 — Assistant

Created 10 tracking tasks via `TaskCreate`, then executed in order.

**Task 1 — Project skeleton.** Wrote `pyproject.toml` with setuptools
backend, Click + pytest deps, entrypoint `ohm-rfc-app-flotilla =
ohm_rfc_app_flotilla.cli:main`, Python `>=3.12`. Wrote
`ohm_rfc_app_flotilla/__init__.py` reading `__version__` from the
`VERSION` file at repo root.

**Task 2 — DB layer.** Wrote `ohm_rfc_app_flotilla/db.py` with
`data_dir()` honoring `OHM_RFC_APP_FLOTILLA_DATA_DIR` env override,
`connect()` enabling WAL + foreign-keys, `run_migrations(conn)`
mirroring `rfc-app/backend/app/db.py:34-54` (creates
`schema_migrations` if missing, iterates `migrations/*.sql` sorted,
skips already-applied, wraps each in `BEGIN; … COMMIT;`), and
`open_db()` that connects + migrates in one call.

**Task 3 — Initial migration.** Wrote
`ohm_rfc_app_flotilla/migrations/001_initial_schema.sql` with
`deployments` (15 columns per §4.3 + §13.2's
`target_vm_tunnel_through_iap`), `overlay_entries` (with `ON DELETE
CASCADE` to `deployments` and a unique constraint on
`(deployment_id, env_key)`), and an index on
`overlay_entries(deployment_id)`.

**Task 4 — Registry data layer.** Wrote
`ohm_rfc_app_flotilla/registry.py` with frozen dataclasses
`Deployment` and `OverlayEntry`, plus CRUD functions (`add_deployment`,
`get_deployment`, `list_deployments`, `remove_deployment`,
`set_overlay`, `unset_overlay`, `list_overlay`). Custom exception
classes `NotFoundError` and `DuplicateError`. Overlay set uses
`INSERT … ON CONFLICT … DO UPDATE` for upsert.

**Task 5 — CLI verbs.** Wrote `ohm_rfc_app_flotilla/cli.py` with the
Click root group, `deployment` subgroup (list / show / add / remove,
with all 11 of §13's `add` flags), `overlay` subgroup (show / set /
unset). `_exit_with_error()` helper writes to stderr and exits 1. All
read verbs accept `--json`. `overlay show` rendered the secret refs
section as `(no secrets registered — Slice 2)` placeholder.

**Task 6 — OHM registration script.** Wrote
`scripts/register-ohm.sh` (chmod +x) as the executable form of §13:
one `flotilla deployment add ohm-rfc-app …` invocation with §13.2's
values, then 13 `flotilla overlay set` invocations covering §13.6's
non-secret keys. `OAUTH_CLIENT_ID` deliberately omitted (value not
known at Slice 1 time; Slice 2 firms it up from the live `.env`).

**Task 7 — Tests.** Wrote `tests/conftest.py` (`tmp_data_dir` fixture
sets the env var to `tmp_path`; `runner` fixture wraps Click's
`CliRunner` with an `expect_exit` assertion helper), `tests/test_db.py`
(3 tests: migration apply, idempotent open, FK cascade),
`tests/test_deployment.py` (6 tests: add/list/show/remove round-trip,
JSON shape, error paths), `tests/test_overlay.py` (6 tests:
set/show/unset, upsert, `=` in value, JSON shape, error paths), and
empty `tests/__init__.py`.

**Task 8 — Gitea Actions CI.** Wrote `.gitea/workflows/test.yml`:
Python 3.12, `pip install -e .[test]`, `pytest -q`, triggers on push
to main and on PR.

**Task 9 — Docs/version bump.** Bumped `VERSION` `0.0.1 → 0.1.0`,
added a `## 0.1.0 — 2026-05-27` CHANGELOG block, expanded README with
a quickstart, applied the §19.3-rule-2 spec correction to §20.1
(`deployment show ohm` → `deployment show ohm-rfc-app`).

**Task 10 — Verification.** First attempt failed:

```
$ python3.12 -m venv .venv
(eval):1: command not found: python3.12
```

Discovered the system has Python 3.13 but not 3.12. Since the
pyproject floor is `>=3.12`, used 3.13 locally (CI keeps 3.12 as the
pinned matrix entry):

```
$ python3.13 -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -e '.[test]'
(succeeded)

$ .venv/bin/pytest -q
…
E       TypeError: CliRunner.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'mix_stderr'
…
3 passed, 12 errors in 0.04s
```

Click 8.2 removed `mix_stderr`. Investigated rather than worked
around — the kwarg was added in Click 8.0 to keep stderr separate
from stdout; in 8.2 separation became the default and the kwarg was
dropped. Fix was one line in `tests/conftest.py`:

```python
- self._runner = CliRunner(mix_stderr=False)
+ self._runner = CliRunner()
```

Re-ran: `15 passed in 0.03s`. End-to-end against a sandbox data dir:

```
$ SANDBOX=$(mktemp -d) && export OHM_RFC_APP_FLOTILLA_DATA_DIR="$SANDBOX"
$ export PATH="$PWD/.venv/bin:$PATH"
$ ./scripts/register-ohm.sh

$ ohm-rfc-app-flotilla deployment show ohm-rfc-app --json
{
  "id": 1,
  "name": "ohm-rfc-app",
  …
  "target_vm_tunnel_through_iap": false,
  …
}
```

§20.1 exit criteria met. Wrote a `.gitignore` covering `.venv/`,
`*.egg-info/`, `__pycache__/`, `*.pyc`, `.pytest_cache/`. Reported
Slice 1 done; left commit to the user per the harness rule "never
commit unless the user explicitly asks."

## Turn 4 — User

> Ok, let's move on to Slice 2

## Turn 4 — Assistant

Two preconditions to settle before plan-mode:

1. Slice 1 was uncommitted — moving on without a tagged baseline
   would tangle Slice 2's commits with Slice 1's.
2. Slice 2 has two distinct halves: a code part (schema + verbs + GCP
   client + tests) flotilla can do alone, and an operator part
   (`gcloud auth ADC`, SSH to ohm-app, read live `.env`, `gcloud
   secrets create` per key, then `flotilla secret bind` per key) that
   needs the user's credentials.

Read SPEC §7 to confirm the binding shape — read-only client (no
secret creation in v1 per §7.6), `bind` validates by attempting a
Secret Manager read (refuses if the operator can't resolve it), `list`
never prints bytes, naming convention `<deployment>-<env-key>` with
underscores → dashes, IAM model is operator-with-ADC needing
`secretmanager.secretAccessor` for ongoing use and `secretmanager.admin`
for the bootstrap.

Asked two questions via `AskUserQuestion`:

1. Commit + tag v0.1.0 first? Recommended yes.
2. Slice 2 scope split? Recommended "code + docs this session; you
   run the operator gesture in your own time" — three options
   (code+docs+you-gesture, code+drive-gesture-together-here,
   code-only-defer-docs).

## Turn 5 — User

Both recommendations accepted:
- Commit + tag v0.1.0 first
- Code + docs this session; user runs the operator gesture

## Turn 5 — Assistant

Committed Slice 1 with explicit paths (avoiding `git add -A`):

```
$ git add .gitignore .gitea/ ohm_rfc_app_flotilla/ pyproject.toml \
    scripts/ tests/ CHANGELOG.md README.md SPEC.md VERSION

$ git commit -m "Release 0.1.0: Slice 1 — registry + non-secret overlay

Ships the Python skeleton, SQLite schema, and seven CLI verbs that let
the operator register a deployment and edit its non-secret overlay.
OHM is registered via scripts/register-ohm.sh — the executable form of
SPEC §13.1–§13.6. No actuation, no GCP, no network.

Per SPEC §20.1 exit criteria: \`ohm-rfc-app-flotilla deployment show
ohm-rfc-app\` and \`… overlay show ohm-rfc-app\` render the OHM record.

Spec correction (§19.3 rule 2): §20.1 exit criteria normalized to
\`ohm-rfc-app\` as the deployment name, matching §13.1's binding.

(Git printed an identity-setup notice about `Ben Stull
<benstull@mac.lan>`; left it as-is, did not touch git config per the
git-safety protocol.)

Entered plan mode for Slice 2. The harness reminded that a plan file
already existed from Slice 1; per the workflow, overwrote it for the
new task. Wrote a structured plan covering:

- Migration `002_secret_refs.sql` per §4.3 (`secret_version TEXT
  DEFAULT 'latest'` to carry both `latest` and integer-as-string)
- `ohm_rfc_app_flotilla/secrets.py` — read-only GCP wrapper with
  `parse_ref` / `format_ref` / `read_secret` / `SecretReadError`,
  lazy-importing `google.cloud.secretmanager` so monkeypatch-stubbed
  tests don't need the package installed
- `registry.py` additions: `SecretRef` dataclass + three CRUD
  functions (matching Slice 1's upsert pattern)
- CLI: new `secret` group (bind/unbind/list); update `overlay show`
  to render bound secrets per §6.2 as `KEY = [secret:
  project/id@version]`
- `tests/test_secrets.py` with monkeypatch fixture; update
  `test_overlay.py` for the new secret listing
- Add `google-cloud-secret-manager>=2.20` to dependencies
- `docs/secret-bootstrap.md` — 9-step operator runbook
- Spec corrections in §20.2/§20.3/§20.4/§20.5 (continuing the §19.3
  rule 2 cleanup begun in Slice 1)
- `VERSION` **unchanged** at `0.1.0`; CHANGELOG block headed `## 0.2.0
  — pending operator gesture` to be flipped to a real date in the
  operator's follow-up commit

Called `ExitPlanMode`.

## Turn 6 — User

Plan approved.

## Turn 6 — Assistant

Cleared the 10 Slice 1 tasks (marked deleted) and created 9 Slice 2
tasks.

**Task 11 — Migration 002.** Wrote
`ohm_rfc_app_flotilla/migrations/002_secret_refs.sql` with the
`secret_refs` table per §4.3 + an index, including a header comment
stating `Never carries the secret bytes themselves (§3 invariant 1)`.

**Task 12 — secrets.py.** Wrote `ohm_rfc_app_flotilla/secrets.py`:

- `SecretReadError(Exception)` — single error type carrying the
  failure-mode-named message
- `parse_ref(ref)` — parses `<project>/<id>[@version]` with version
  defaulting to `"latest"`; raises `ValueError` for empty, missing
  `/`, empty project, empty id, empty version after `@`
- `format_ref(project, id, version)` — inverse, always emits the
  `@version` suffix (so `latest` is unambiguous in display)
- `read_secret(project, id, version="latest")` — lazy-imports
  `google.cloud.secretmanager`, `google.api_core.exceptions`,
  `google.auth.exceptions`. Catches `DefaultCredentialsError` →
  "no ADC available — run `gcloud auth application-default login`";
  `PermissionDenied` → "permission denied reading …";
  `NotFound` → "secret not found …"; generic `GoogleAPICallError`
  fallthrough. Each raise wraps the underlying with `from e` for
  inspection but the user-facing message names the mode.

**Task 13 — registry.py additions.** Edited
`ohm_rfc_app_flotilla/registry.py`: added `SecretRef` frozen
dataclass and three functions (`bind_secret` with the same `INSERT …
ON CONFLICT … DO UPDATE` upsert pattern as `set_overlay`,
`unbind_secret` with `NotFoundError` on zero rowcount,
`list_secret_refs` ordered by `env_key`).

**Task 14 — CLI: secret group + overlay show update.** Edited
`ohm_rfc_app_flotilla/cli.py`: imported `secrets`; added `secret`
group with `bind` / `unbind` / `list` commands. `bind` flow:
`get_deployment` (validates deployment exists) → `parse_ref` →
`secrets.read_secret` (validates readability — refuses with "refused
to bind — secret not readable: …" on `SecretReadError`, no DB row
written) → `bind_secret`. `list` uses `--json` for the structured
shape, never prints bytes. Updated `overlay show` to read
`list_secret_refs` and render bound secrets per §6.2 as `KEY =
[secret: project/id@version]`; with `--json` the `secret_refs` field
is now the real list, not `[]`.

**Task 15 — Tests.** Wrote `tests/test_secrets.py` with 18 tests:

- `parse_ref` happy + parametrized error cases (`""`, `"no-slash"`,
  `"/no-project"`, `"proj/"`, `"proj/id@"`, `"/"`)
- `format_ref` round-trip + explicit-`latest` rendering
- `stub_read_secret` fixture monkeypatches
  `ohm_rfc_app_flotilla.cli.secrets.read_secret` to return stub bytes
- Round-trip: bind → list (human + `--json`) → unbind → list empty
- `--json` shape includes `secret_version`, excludes `secret_value`
  and `value` (§3 invariant 1 guard)
- Idempotent rebind (second bind updates version)
- Refuses when stubbed `read_secret` raises `SecretReadError` (no DB
  row written; verified by `list --json` returning `[]`)
- Malformed ref rejected with "missing '/'" message
- Unknown-deployment and unknown-key errors
- `overlay show` lists bound secrets; stub bytes never appear in
  output
- `overlay show --json` includes the real `secret_refs` list with
  the correct shape

Updated one assertion in `tests/test_overlay.py` to match the new
behavior (`"no secrets registered" → "no secrets bound"`).

**Task 16 — Dependency.** Edited `pyproject.toml` to add
`google-cloud-secret-manager>=2.20`.

**Task 17 — Operator runbook.** Wrote `docs/secret-bootstrap.md` —
9 sections:

0. Read first (sources of truth, no-bytes invariant, two buckets)
1. Prereqs (`gcloud auth ADC`, enable Secret Manager API, IAM
   `secretmanager.admin` for bootstrap, `secretAccessor` afterward)
2. Pull live `.env`: `gcloud compute ssh ohm-app … 'sudo cat
   /opt/ohm-app/backend/.env' > /tmp/ohm-rfc-app.env` with chmod 600
3. Partition table — §13.6 (14 non-secret keys) vs §13.7 (6 secret
   keys), instruction to stop and discuss anything else
4. Reconcile the non-secret overlay (especially `OAUTH_CLIENT_ID`
   which the Slice 1 register script left blank)
5. Create the six Secret Manager entries via `printf '%s' "$VALUE" |
   gcloud secrets create ohm-rfc-app-<env-key> --data-file=-
   --project=wiggleverse-ohm --replication-policy=automatic`, with a
   table mapping each §13.7 ENV_KEY to its §7.2 secret ID, and
   handling for `ALREADY_EXISTS` (use `secrets versions add` instead)
6. Six explicit `flotilla secret bind ohm-rfc-app KEY
   wiggleverse-ohm/ohm-rfc-app-<id>` invocations
7. Verify: `flotilla secret list ohm-rfc-app` shows the six bindings;
   optional manual cross-check via `gcloud secrets versions access
   latest …`
8. Cleanup: `shred -u /tmp/ohm-rfc-app.env` (or `rm -P` on macOS),
   IAM downgrade
9. Cut v0.2.0: bump VERSION, replace the CHANGELOG placeholder
   header with the date, commit + tag

**Task 18 — Spec corrections + CHANGELOG + README.** Edited `SPEC.md`
in six places: §20.2 exit criteria (`secret list ohm` →
`secret list ohm-rfc-app`), §20.3 exit criteria (`deploy ohm
--dry-run` → `deploy ohm-rfc-app --dry-run`), §20.4 goal + exit
criteria (`deploy ohm` → `deploy ohm-rfc-app`, twice), §20.5 scope
bullets (`pin check ohm` and `deploy ohm` → both `ohm-rfc-app`),
§20.5 operator-guide bullet (`deployment add ohm …` →
`deployment add ohm-rfc-app …`). Added the `## 0.2.0 — pending
operator gesture` CHANGELOG block describing what shipped. Updated
README "Status" section to mention Slice 2 lands ahead of v0.2.0 and
link the bootstrap doc.

**Task 19 — Verification.** `pip install -e .[test]` picked up
`google-cloud-secret-manager` and its transitive deps. `pytest -q`:

```
.F.................................                                      [100%]
=================================== FAILURES ===================================
__________________________ test_open_db_is_idempotent __________________________

            rows = conn.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) AS n FROM schema_migrations").fetchone()
>           assert rows["n"] == 1
E           assert 2 == 1

tests/test_db.py:19: AssertionError
```

Slice 1's test asserted a literal migration count of `1`. With Slice
2's migration 002 the count is `2`. The test was too narrow — its
spec-relevant invariant is "no migration runs twice," not "exactly
one migration exists." Replaced with that invariant:

```python
def test_open_db_is_idempotent(tmp_data_dir):
    flotilla_db.open_db().close()
    first = _migration_versions(flotilla_db.open_db())
    second = _migration_versions(flotilla_db.open_db())
    assert first == second
    assert len(first) == len(set(first))
```

Re-ran: `35 passed in 0.06s`.

End-to-end spot-check of the new CLI surface against a sandbox data
dir, including the deliberately unauthenticated `bind` to verify the
ADC-missing path surfaces correctly:

```
$ SANDBOX=$(mktemp -d) && export OHM_RFC_APP_FLOTILLA_DATA_DIR="$SANDBOX"
$ ./scripts/register-ohm.sh > /dev/null

$ ohm-rfc-app-flotilla overlay show ohm-rfc-app | tail -5
SMTP_STARTTLS     = 1
SMTP_USER         = ben@wiggleverse.org

    wiggleverse-ohm/ohm-rfc-app-gitea-bot-token
error: refused to bind — secret not readable: no Application Default
Credentials available — run `gcloud auth application-default login`
exit: 1
```

Exit code 1, no DB row written, message names the failure mode. §3
invariant 1 + §7.5 satisfied throughout.

Reported Slice 2 code complete and verified. Final working-tree

Per the user's Turn 5 scope decision, did not commit — the v0.2.0
tag waits on the operator gesture, and committing now would create a
"code shipped" commit that the user can compose with the gesture
results into a single v0.2.0 commit (or split if they prefer).

## Turn 7 — User

> ok, I'm going to start a new session for slice 3

## Turn 7 — Assistant

Wrote a brief hand-off summary:

- v0.1.0 (Slice 1) committed (`581687a`) + tagged
- Slice 2 code complete in the working tree, uncommitted
- 35 tests pass
- CHANGELOG says "0.2.0 — pending operator gesture"; VERSION reads
  `0.1.0` deliberately
- Slice 3 (SPEC §20.3) is pin reading + dry-run deploy → v0.3.0
- Suggested the next session decide whether to commit Slice 2 first
  (clean baseline) or stack on top

No `/schedule` offer — the user signaled done, no quoted artifact
with a date in this session's work.

## Turn 8 — User

> ok what's the claude command I should use to start slice 3 and what
> dir should i start it from?

## Turn 8 — Assistant

```
cd /Users/benstull/projects/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc-app-flotilla
claude
```

Flagged that the directory matters: the auto-memory is keyed to that
path (`-Users-benstull-projects-wiggleverse-ohm-rfc-app-flotilla`).
Launching from anywhere else loses the project context. Suggested
first prompts: `run the session based on what's in memory` (same as
Turn 1 of this session) or just `start Slice 3`.

## Turn 9 — User

> write a full transcript of this session (EVERYTHING) to ~/git/ohm-infra

## Turn 9 — Assistant

This file. Checked `~/git/ohm-infra/` for existing convention —
found `SESSION-0002.0-TRANSCRIPT.md`, `SESSION-0003.0-TRANSCRIPT.md`,
`SESSION-0004.0-TRANSCRIPT.md` (82 turns, 1267 lines). Matched the
format: header with date/goal/outcome blockquote, numbered turns
alternating User and Assistant, narrative prose for assistant turns
with code blocks for key outputs. Wrote
`/Users/benstull/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-0005.0-TRANSCRIPT.md`.

## What's load-bearing for the next session

- Slice 2 code is **on disk, uncommitted, tested green** at the start
  of Session 0006.0. Decide commit timing before plan-mode.
- `VERSION` stays `0.1.0` until the operator gesture in
  `docs/secret-bootstrap.md` runs end-to-end. Session 0006.0's Slice 3
  work can land on top either way; the v0.2.0 cut is independent.
- The §19.3-rule-2 spec-correction discipline is now established
  practice (Slice 1 fixed §20.1; Slice 2 fixed §20.2–§20.5). If Slice
  3 finds more §20 typos or anything else, fix in-session.
- Migration runner pattern is set: numbered `.sql` files, filename
  stem in `schema_migrations.version`, raw SQL via `executescript`
  wrapped `BEGIN; … COMMIT;`. Slice 3 likely adds no new tables (§20.3
  scope is "exercise existing pin-source columns" + a Gitea client +
  plan assembly, no schema).
- Test fixture conventions: `tmp_data_dir` (env-var override),
  `runner` (Click CliRunner wrapper with `expect_exit`), monkeypatch
  fixtures for external clients (`stub_read_secret` pattern is
  reusable for a future `stub_gitea_pin`). New external client in
  Slice 3 will be a Gitea raw-file reader; mirror the
  `ohm_rfc_app_flotilla/secrets.py` shape (lazy import, named-error
  failure modes, "no bytes leak" discipline applied as "no token
  leak" for Gitea PAT auth).
- Click 8.2 `mix_stderr` lesson: don't pin patterns from old Click
  docs; the test helper in `tests/conftest.py` is now `CliRunner()`
  with no kwargs.
- Python toolchain: local dev on 3.13 (no 3.12 installed); CI matrix
  pinned at 3.12; pyproject floor `>=3.12`. Either works.
