## Launch prompt

```
/goal implement engineering#35 — land the Claude Design vs Claude Code rubric doc and wire the recorded decision into solution-design/GUIDE.md + TEMPLATE.md, referencing the new design-system/ as the code-resident design system
```

## Plan

> Anchor: #35 (`type/story` — ELIGIBLE per R2b, checked via check-issue-eligibility.sh)
> Worktree: `.claude/worktrees/claude-design-rubric-35`, branch `worktree-claude-design-rubric-35` (mandated — live concurrent SESSION-0009)
> Plan doc: archived to engineering `plans/2026-06-10-claude-design-vs-code-rubric.md` (commit `0a6bc06`)

1. Land the rubric **verbatim** (extracted mechanically from issue #35's appendix) at `solution-design/claude-design-vs-code.md`, with a non-verbatim preamble carrying provenance + the Wiggleverse binding (Q4 reads against the code-resident `design-system/`).
2. GUIDE.md: §5 restructured — new **§5.1 Design tooling decision** (three output forms, pointer-only to the rubric) + §5.2 per-screen description; new authoring-conventions bullet.
3. TEMPLATE.md: §5.1 decision slot (Decision + Rationale fields, N/A default); example screen renumbers §5.1→§5.2 (verified uncited elsewhere).
4. Pointers: README.md §3.3 (Product row + closing paragraph) and agent-context.md digest — pointer + load-bearing rule only, no restatement.
5. Push branch → PR (`Closes #35`) → merge (autonomous posture). §6 numbering untouched (§6.8/§7.2 citations preserved).

## Pre-session state

- `main` clean and even with `origin/main` at `757a2fd` (merge of PR #38 — the Claude Design export bundle `design-system/` landed the same day, which #35's goal references).
- Issue #35 open (`type/story`, `priority/P2`), carrying the operator's rubric verbatim in its appendix (from capture session engineering-0013) — the text existed nowhere else.
- SESSION-0009 live in flight (claimed 09-40, worktree `engineering-session-0009` on branch `docs/solution-design-design-system-home`) → §5.4 worktree isolation mandated for this session.

## Turn-by-turn arc

1. **Session gate + claim.** Classified as planning-and-executing; claimed ID 0015 (dry-run peek surfaced live SESSION-0009; autonomous posture → warned and proceeded). Baseline verified clean/pushed.
2. **Worktree isolation.** Native `EnterWorktree` → `.claude/worktrees/claude-design-rubric-35`, branch `worktree-claude-design-rubric-35` off verified-clean main.
3. **Anchor gate.** `check-issue-eligibility.sh --for implementation-plan --repo wiggleverse/engineering --issue 35` → `ELIGIBLE: type/story (R2b)`. Issue body fetched via `gitea-api.sh`.
4. **Plan.** Read GUIDE/TEMPLATE/README §3.3/digest + `design-system/README.md`; wrote the just-in-time plan (superpowers:writing-plans). Key call: decision slot at **§5.1 (product lens)**, not the issue's non-binding "engineering lens" suggestion — the decision gates *how §5 gets authored*, and §6 renumbering would break §6.8/§7.2 citations. Verified nothing cites a solution-design §5 subsection.
5. **Execute.**
   - `57652d0` — rubric landed: appendix extracted mechanically (6661 chars), appended below a provenance preamble, **byte-verbatim asserted** by a Python equality check.
   - `1a9e5b5` — GUIDE.md §5 → §5.1 Design tooling decision (three output forms; Q4 → code-resident `design-system/`; no-UI N/A) + §5.2 per-screen; authoring-conventions bullet.
   - `6a9734e` — TEMPLATE.md §5.1 Decision/Rationale slot; screen example → §5.2.
   - `f89d869` — README.md §3.3 (Product row + closing ¶) and agent-context.md digest pointers. Cross-refs verified (5 hits; the §3.3 table row deliberately link-free, the ¶ below carries the link).
6. **Ship.** Pushed; PR #39 opened via API; merged; `origin/main` → `0292c8e`; issue #35 auto-closed (`Closes #35`). Checkpoint-published the transcript post-merge (`99631e6`).
7. **Finalize.** Plan archived via `submit-plan.sh` → engineering `plans/` (`0a6bc06`). Worktree removed via `ExitWorktree` (branch merged; local plan copy discarded — archived). Canonical clone fast-forwarded to `0a6bc06`; remote branch deleted. Deferred plugin-side pointer parked as plugin tracker issue #106. Memory updated (`project_solution_design_standard.md` + MEMORY.md index).

## Deferred decisions

- **Decision-slot placement: §5.1 (product lens) instead of the issue's non-binding "subsection inside the engineering lens" note.** Rationale: the decision gates *how §5 gets authored* (canvas exploration vs text), so it must precede layout authoring; appending §6.11 would read as an afterthought after migration/compat, and inserting earlier in §6 would renumber §6.8/§7.2, which the handbook, digest, and skills cite. Low risk: nothing cites a solution-design §5 subsection today.
- **"Brainstorming flow points at the doc" acceptance bullet satisfied doc-side only.** The `wgl-brainstorming` skill lives in the plugin source repo, out of this session's repo scope; it authors specs *from* GUIDE/TEMPLATE, which now carry the gate. The optional skill-side pointer is parked as plugin tracker issue [#106](https://git.wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin/issues/106) (type idea, severity low).

## Cut state (end of session)

| Repo | Branch | State |
| --- | --- | --- |
| wiggleverse/engineering | main | `0a6bc06` (= PR #39 merge `0292c8e` + plan archive); tree clean; session branch deleted (local + remote); worktree removed |
| wiggleverse/session-history | main | engineering/0015 finalized (this file) |
| wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin | (tracker only) | issue #106 filed (skill-side rubric pointer, untriaged) |

Pipeline status (§9): docs/markdown-only change to the engineering meta-repo — no deployable UI app, no localhost/PPE/prod stage to run; nothing deferred.

Landed artifacts: `solution-design/claude-design-vs-code.md` (rubric, verbatim v1) · GUIDE.md §5.1/§5.2 + conventions bullet · TEMPLATE.md §5.1 slot · README.md §3.3 pointers · agent-context.md digest amendment (live in every future session via the `~/.claude/wiggleverse.md` symlink) · `plans/2026-06-10-claude-design-vs-code-rubric.md`.

## What lands on the operator's plate

- Nothing required for #35 — shipped end-to-end.
- Optional: react to the two deferred decisions above (§5.1 placement; plugin pointer parked as plugin#106 — it'll surface in the next `/review-dev-claude-plugin-feedback` pass).
- Standing blocker unchanged: gitea-backups SLICE-1 needs the VM scope maintenance window (operator-present gesture).

## Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

```
/goal Do the gitea VM service-account scope maintenance window (stop → set-service-account --scopes=cloud-platform → start, per infra/deploy-gitea-on-gcp.md Backups box), then finish SLICE-1 (verify the VM can write to gs://wiggleverse-gitea-backups) and build SLICE-2 scheduled dump+upload, per specs/gitea-forge-backups.md §7.2 (engineering#30)
```
