## Launch prompt

> /goal Patchwatch Phase 2B — in wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin, add per-app
> session-start surfacing of open patchwatch Gitea issues (warn + a ready-to-run
> /goal remediate prompt) and a new wgl-remediate skill (PPE→prod, tests+health
> gate, close via Fixes #N, plus --all-impacted cross-app), per
> flotilla-core/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-07-patchwatch-phase2-design.md §4.3–4.4

## Plan

**Goal:** Implement sub-project **B** (Surface & remediate) of Patchwatch Phase 2
in the dev plugin, per design §4.3–4.4. (Sub-project A — capture/issue-filing in
flotilla-core — is a separate effort; B reads/acts on the issues A files.)

Branch: `feat/patchwatch-phase2b-surface-remediate` off `origin/main` (plugin
v0.20.0). The pre-existing `feat/two-session-artifact-collections` branch is
unrelated design work, left untouched.

1. **§4.3 Surface** — fail-open SessionStart hook `hooks/patchwatch-notice`
   (matcher `startup|clear`, alongside gate + feedback-notice): per-repo, query the
   repo's open `patchwatch` issues → warning + `/goal remediate open patchwatch
   issues` prompt. Wired in `hooks.json`.
2. **Deterministic layer (§4.2)** — `skills/wgl-remediate/scripts/list-patchwatch.sh`
   + `set-patchwatch-status.sh` (thin `gitea-api.sh` wrappers).
3. **§4.4 Act** — `skills/wgl-remediate/SKILL.md`: this-app default + `--all-impacted`,
   PPE→prod tests+health gate, close via `Fixes #N`. Not a gate-lifter.
4. **Docs + version** — README, CLAUDE.md hooks 4→5, plugin.json 0.20.0→0.21.0.
5. Branch → PR → merge (autonomous default).

## Pre-state

- Opened on branch `feat/two-session-artifact-collections` (plugin v0.18.0,
  unrelated in-flight design work — left untouched), 16 commits behind
  `origin/main` (v0.20.0). Started Patchwatch work fresh from `origin/main`.
- Three stale `--INPROGRESS` placeholders in the app's history at claim time
  (0020, 0021, 0025) — not flagged `ENDED-UNFINALIZED`; treated as dead (work had
  proceeded past them to 0026). Warned and proceeded per the autonomous default.
- Session-history claim converged on **0027**.
- Design source of truth:
  `flotilla-core/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-07-patchwatch-phase2-design.md`
  (read in full; §3 D1–D9 locked, §4.3–4.4 the deliverables, §5 build order
  A → B → sweep → C).

## Turn-by-turn arc

1. **Session gate / claim.** Classified the opening `/goal` as an executing-plans
   (coding) session; invoked `wgl-executing-plans`; peeked, gated (warn+proceed),
   and claimed 0027. Seeded the transcript Plan block.
2. **Studied precedents.** Read the `feedback-notice` hook + `hooks.json`,
   `gitea-api.sh`, `list-feedback.sh` / `set-feedback-status.sh`, the
   `wgl-dev-plugin-review-feedback` SKILL, `resolve-app.py`, and
   `DEPLOY-FLOTILLA.md` — Phase 2B mirrors the feedback loop's shape (a fail-open
   SessionStart notice + a read/write script pair + an "act" skill).
3. **Branched** `feat/patchwatch-phase2b-surface-remediate` off `origin/main`.
4. **Wrote the deterministic layer.** `list-patchwatch.sh` (resolve owner/repo
   from git origin; query open `patchwatch` issues; `--json/--count/--notice`
   modes) and `set-patchwatch-status.sh` (idempotent label-ensure, add/remove
   label, comment, optional close).
5. **Wrote the hook** `hooks/patchwatch-notice` (per-repo, fail-open; delegates the
   query+notice to `list-patchwatch.sh --notice`, bounded by
   `WGL_PATCHWATCH_MAX_TIME=3`); wired it into `hooks.json`.
6. **Tested — two bugs caught and fixed:**
   - Gitea **silently discards** a `labels=patchwatch` filter when that label
     doesn't exist in the repo, returning *all* issues (the plugin repo's 4
     feedback issues came back). Fix: always **filter client-side** in jq; keep
     the server `labels=` only as an optimization.
   - The `--notice` jq fallback `.title` was operating on the piped (captured)
     value, not the issue object → "Cannot index string". Fix: restructure with
     `sub(...)` + `split(" ")[0]` over each object.
   Re-tested: no-findings path (count 0, empty notice, exit 0), positive filter
   (fixture: patchwatch-only, multi-label, PR-exclusion), notice rendering
   ("vitest #42, tqdm #43, h11 #50"), hook fail-open paths, valid JSON emission,
   `set -u` array safety, exec bits.
7. **Wrote the `wgl-remediate` skill** (§4.4): this-app default flow + `--all-impacted`,
   the empirical PPE→prod gate (D2/D3), the repo-roles nuance (fix the
   lockfile-owning repo; the deployment pin is a separate rollout repo), pointers
   to `DEPLOY-FLOTILLA.md` + handbook §8/§9, headless-ready note, common mistakes.
8. **Docs + version.** README skills row + Patchwatch-surfacing section; CLAUDE.md
   hooks 4→5 + patchwatch notes; plugin.json 0.20.0→0.21.0 + `patchwatch` keyword.
9. **Shipped.** Commit `6022822`, pushed, PR #21 opened + merged (`f4e3cf3`) via
   the Gitea API (autonomous default). Synced local main, deleted the branch.
10. **Finalized** (memory + this transcript).

## Cut state

- `origin/main` at `f4e3cf3`, plugin source **v0.21.0**. Local `main` clean and
  in sync. Feature branch deleted.
- New: `hooks/patchwatch-notice`, `skills/wgl-remediate/{SKILL.md,scripts/list-patchwatch.sh,scripts/set-patchwatch-status.sh}`.
  Modified: `hooks/hooks.json`, `CLAUDE.md`, `README.md`, `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`.
- **Not yet exercisable live:** no real `patchwatch` issues exist until sub-project
  A (capture, in flotilla-core) files them. The positive end-to-end hook fire and
  the API write paths validate during the first-run sweep.
- Cache lags as usual — operator re-install needed to make 0.21.0's hook + skill
  live in the plugin.

## Deferred decisions

_No low-confidence calls were flagged this session — the design was locked
(§3 D1–D9) and the goal was concrete._

Self-noted design calls (not low-confidence, recorded for transparency):
- **Per-repo hook gating via natural token-absence** rather than an explicit host
  allowlist: in a non-Wiggleverse repo, `gitea-api.sh` finds no Keychain token and
  bails before any network call, so the hook stays silent — no separate host gate
  needed.
- **Client-side label filter as the source of truth** (server `labels=` is only a
  hint), because Gitea discards the filter for an absent label.
- **B owns creation of the `status:remediating` label** (idempotent ensure in
  `set-patchwatch-status.sh`), so B doesn't depend on capture (A) having
  pre-created status labels.

## Operator plate

- **Re-install** the plugin to make 0.21.0 live (`/plugin marketplace update` +
  install + `/reload-plugins`). The `patchwatch-notice` hook activates on the next
  new session in a repo that has open `patchwatch` issues.
- The whole Phase-2 mechanism only comes alive once **sub-project A (capture)** is
  built in flotilla-core and files real findings — that's the next goal.

## Next-session prompt

```
/goal Patchwatch Phase 2 — sub-project A (Capture), in the flotilla-core repo: add gitea.py issue create/list/close/label, a new `flotilla-core patchwatch sync <deployment>` reconcile verb (dedup on (layer,package,advisory), route to the lockfile-owning repo, accumulate affected-deployments, self-heal/auto-close), bot-token issues:write, SPEC.md §12.x "Patchwatch Phase 2" written first, and tests against a faked Gitea API — per flotilla-core/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-07-patchwatch-phase2-design.md §4.1/§5. (Then the first-run sweep validates 2B, then C = radar per deployment.)
```

(Run that `/goal` from the **flotilla-core** repo, not the plugin. Plugin-internal
alternatives if a future session works here instead: SP2 `/goal feedback`
orchestrator; the artifact-pipeline reconciliation impl [design on branch
`feat/two-session-artifact-collections`, rebase onto main first]; worktrees effort
A impl. See the project memory note.)
