## Launch prompt

```
Patchwatch Phase 2 remediation of rfc-app dependency findings #36–#40 on ben.stull/rfc-app.

Findings (filed by `patchwatch sync`, labeled `patchwatch`, affected=[rfc-app-ppe, ohm-rfc-app]):
- #36 vitest 3.2.6 → 4.1.0 (critical; dev-only devDep)
- #37 tqdm → 4.11.2 (high; transitive, backend/requirements.txt)
- #38 idna → 3.15 (transitive)
- #39 tqdm → 4.66.3
- #40 tqdm → 4.11.2

Operator-chosen depth (AskUserQuestion): FULL PPE → prod catch-up — the wgl-remediate default.
```

The session opened from the dev-claude-plugin repo with "What is the next goal?" → the
long-parked **Patchwatch rfc-app remediation** goal. Operator confirmed "go for it" and chose
**Full PPE → prod catch-up** via AskUserQuestion. Work targets the **ohm** app (rfc-app is one of
its repos), so the session was claimed under ohm (0095).

## Pre-state

- rfc-app (`ben.stull/rfc-app`) at v0.55.0; local `main` 6 commits behind origin/main (synced to
  clean baseline first).
- Five open `patchwatch` findings on rfc-app: #36 (vitest, node-app/dev) + #37/#38/#39/#40
  (tqdm/idna, py-app/transitive). All affect deployments `rfc-app-ppe` + `ohm-rfc-app`.
- Both deployment pins (`ben/ohm-rfc` `.rfc-app-version` + `.rfc-app-version.ppe`) already at
  **0.55.0 = main** — so the parked-goal's "0.46.1 lags by ~5 versions / catch-up" premise was
  **stale**; this was a surgical patch, not a catch-up.

## Arc (what happened)

1. **Claimed** ohm/0095 (planning-and-executing); noted one stale orphan placeholder
   (ohm/0080, 3 days old) and proceeded. Synced rfc-app main to origin/main (v0.55.0).
2. **Grounded the fix.** tqdm/idna are transitive (no lockfile, loose `>=`) → floor-pins;
   `tqdm>=4.66.3` covers all three tqdm advisories (#37/#39/#40). vitest is a devDep with a
   `package-lock.json` → bump `^3→^4.1.0` + regenerate lock. Confirmed via issue bodies
   (layers node-app / py-app).
3. **Marked #36–#40 `status:remediating`** (label auto-created; #36 needed a retry after the
   create-race).
4. **Applied the fix** on branch `fix/patchwatch-remediate-36-40`: `backend/requirements.txt`
   floor-pins; `frontend/package.json` vitest `^4.1.0` (resolved 4.1.8, lock shrank, npm audit
   0 vulns); VERSION + frontend version → 0.55.1; CHANGELOG patch entry.
5. **Gates (all green):** frontend vitest **66/66**, backend pytest **685** (fresh venv with
   the floor-pins → tqdm 4.68.2, idna 3.18, no conflict), localhost E2E **5/5**
   (`make e2e-fresh`; backend container healthy on new requirements).
6. **Released 0.55.1:** PR #52 → merged `c691ca7`; tag `v0.55.1` on the merge commit.
7. **PPE:** bumped `.rfc-app-version.ppe` → 0.55.1 (direct-to-main), `flotilla-core deploy run
   rfc-app-ppe` → 9 phases green, health HTTP 200 v0.55.1, radar re-scan **0 findings**.
8. **Prod:** bumped `.rfc-app-version` → 0.55.1, deploy **failed phase-3** (`pathspec 'v0.55.1'
   did not match`) — discovered the prod VM `ohm-rfc-app` fetches code from
   `git.benstull.org/benstull/rfc-app` (the local clone's `benstull` remote), not wiggleverse.org.
   Pushed `main` + `v0.55.1` to the `benstull` remote → re-ran deploy → 9 phases green, health
   HTTP 200 v0.55.1, radar re-scan **0 findings**.
9. **Closed #36–#40** with resolution comments (via `set-patchwatch-status --close`, not
   `Fixes #N` — closure deferred until deployed+rescan-confirmed). Tracker: **0 open patchwatch**.
10. Tore down the leftover localhost E2E docker stack; updated memory; finalized.

### Mid-session blockers (two interactive operator gestures)

The deploy needed two lapsed credentials re-authenticated (agent can't run OAuth/2SV):
`gcloud auth application-default login` (ADC → Secret Manager) **and** `gcloud auth login`
(CLI creds → compute/IAP-SSH). Both required pausing for the operator.

## Cut state

- **rfc-app 0.55.1** on `main` (both hosts: wiggleverse.org + benstull.org), tagged `v0.55.1`.
- **ohm-rfc** pins both at 0.55.1 on `main` (pushed).
- **rfc-app-ppe** + **ohm-rfc-app** both live on **v0.55.1**, healthy, **0 radar findings**.
- **#36–#40 closed.** No open patchwatch findings on rfc-app.
- Both working trees clean on `main`. No dev-claude-plugin change this session.
- Scratch artifacts left (harmless, not in any repo): `/tmp/rfc-venv`, `/tmp/*.json`.

## Deferred decisions

_Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls surfaced at finalize._

1. **Patch bump 0.55.1** (not minor) — security dep floors, no behavior change → SemVer patch.
   Alt: minor. Low risk.
2. **`tqdm>=4.66.3` single floor** to satisfy all three tqdm advisories (picked the highest
   required, from #39). Alt: pin each separately — pointless.
3. **Floor-pin transitive deps** (vs. some pip-constraints mechanism) — robust given no lockfile.
4. **Closed issues via `--close` backstop, not `Fixes #N`** — in this framework-pin topology the
   merge must precede the deploy (it cuts the release the pin fetches), and a finding is only
   "fixed" once shipped + rescan-confirmed; so closure was deferred to after prod was green.
5. **Pushed v0.55.1 to the `benstull` remote** to unblock the prod deploy — this is the
   established dual-host release convention (the local clone carries the remote; both hosts had
   v0.55.0), but it was discovered reactively via the phase-3 failure rather than known up front.
6. **Premise correction:** the operator's "full PPE→prod catch-up" choice was made on a stale
   "5-version lag" premise; the pins were already at main, so it executed as a surgical patch
   (lower risk than described). Proceeded without re-asking since it only reduced risk.

## Next session

The parked Patchwatch rfc-app goal is complete. Suggested next move:

```
/goal feedback
```

Process the open plugin-feedback issues (7+ open / ~3 untriaged, flagged at session start).
Remaining Patchwatch threads if preferred: **wiggle-snip h11** (blocked — bind its
`GITEA_ISSUE_TOKEN` to the shared secret first) and **Phase 2C** radar-per-deployment (handed
off to flotilla-core).
