## Launch prompt

```
Fix gitea issues 73 and 47 on the wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin tracker.
```

## Plan

> Anchor: leaf issues #73 (`type:bug`) + #47 (`type/task`) — both plan-eligible
> per R2b (no design required), so the Step 8.5 eligibility gate passes.

Fix two open tracker issues, ship as one PR / version bump:

1. **#73** — `session-end-finalize-guard` banners a LIVE session's placeholder
   when SessionEnd fires mid-session with `reason: other`. Implement the issue's
   recommended shape: **Option 1** (gate the banner on known-real reasons —
   `clear`/`exit`/`logout`/`prompt_input_exit`; non-terminal → republish the
   checkpoint with no banner) **+ Option 3** (finalize-side strip of a stale
   banner in `publish-transcript.sh`).
2. **#47** — `resolve-app.py` edge cases: warn on a malformed manifest (not a
   silent skip), clean `fail()` on a resolved repo entry missing
   `namespace`/`giteaHost`, accept linked-worktree (`.git`-as-file) checkouts in
   `find_local_repo_dir`.
3. Tests for each, version bump, `lint.sh --check-bump`, PR → merge → close, and
   (plugin repo) make the shipped version live at finalize.

## Pre-state

- Opening repo state was **off `main`**: the local checkout sat on the stale
  feature branch `fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory` (an unmerged commit `05a9e82`,
  `plugin.json` at 0.27.1) while `origin/main` had advanced to **0.37.0**. The
  working tree also carried four untracked prior-session leftovers
  (`issues/{issue-type-design-gates,publish-step,resumable-capture}.md` + a
  `…-design.pdf`).
- The claim-peek showed two `--INPROGRESS` placeholders (0035, 0048). Neither was
  annotated `ENDED-UNFINALIZED`, but both predate the already-shipped session 0049
  — i.e. **stale crashed placeholders, not live concurrent sessions**. No worktree
  mandate triggered; worked in-place.

## Session arc

1. **Gate + claim.** Classified the prompt as planning-and-executing; ran
   `wgl-planning-and-executing`. Computed start `2026-06-10T07-05`, peeked
   (dry-run), then claimed **session 0051** (next-free) via the atomic push.

2. **Read the issues** (Gitea API, issue-scoped token). #73 = the bug session 0049
   filed about *itself* — the SessionEnd guard treated every SessionEnd as a
   genuine ending, so a `reason: other` event (the harness emits these for model
   handoffs / context compaction / subagent termination) falsely bannered a
   still-running session, which the next session's peek could then try to adopt
   mid-run. #47 = three localized `resolve-app.py` guards.

3. **Baseline cleanup.** Confirmed the current branch was stale/unmerged and not
   my concern; created a fresh branch `fix/issues-73-47-finalize-guard-resolve-app`
   off `origin/main` (0.37.0), preserving the stale branch ref and the untracked
   leftovers untouched.

4. **#73 implementation.**
   - `hooks/session-end-finalize-guard`: added a `case "$reason"` terminal-reason
     gate; the banner block now runs only when `terminal=1`. The republish stays
     unconditional (never lose the checkpoint). Header comment + republish comment
     updated.
   - `publish-transcript.sh`: new `place_transcript()` helper — for a **finalized**
     file carrying the banner, an awk filter strips the marker line + its
     contiguous blockquote (and the spacer blank before it); an `--INPROGRESS`
     checkpoint or a no-banner file is a plain `cp`. The awk was prototyped and
     verified standalone (banner gone, body + ordinary blockquotes survive,
     trailing newline preserved, no-banner file byte-identical to `cp`).

5. **#47 implementation.**
   - `load_app_json()` now warns (naming the file) on `json.JSONDecodeError` and
     continues; `OSError` stays silent (benign mid-walk).
   - New `repo_remote(repo_entry, default_host, app_json_path, role)` helper:
     fails cleanly naming the missing `namespace`/`name`/`giteaHost` + manifest,
     then builds the remote. Applied at the sessions repo and all four optional
     roles (roadmap/bdd/spec-rfc/content), replacing the raw `["namespace"]`
     index + inline f-string.
   - `find_local_repo_dir`: `.git` presence test changed from `isdir` to `exists`
     so a linked-worktree checkout (where `.git` is a file) resolves. The
     subsequent `git_origin()` still validates it is a real checkout.
   - Module docstring exit-codes note updated.

6. **Tests.**
   - `test-session-id-ownership.sh`: parameterized `run_guard` to take a reason;
     added C2b (non-terminal `other` → republish, no banner) and C2c (each of the
     four terminal reasons → banner). 17/17.
   - `test-push-robustness.sh`: new `[5]` — a finalized publish drops the banner
     and keeps the body; an `--INPROGRESS` checkpoint keeps its banner. 9/9.
   - NEW `test-resolve-app-edgecases.sh`: malformed-manifest warn-and-continue,
     missing-`namespace` clean fail (no traceback), missing-`giteaHost` clean
     fail, and a real `git worktree`-backed checkout resolving as
     `ROADMAP_REPO_DIR`. 4/4.
   - All seven session-common suites green (8/10/14/9/4/6/17 = 68).

7. **Ship.** Bumped `plugin.json` 0.37.0 → **0.38.0**. Updated the canonical
   `SESSION-PROTOCOL.md` ("Automating with hooks") and the CLAUDE.md digest hook
   bullet to document the reason-gate + finalize-side strip. `lint.sh
   --check-bump` clean (shellcheck skipped — not installed). Committed, pushed,
   opened **PR #75** (default per-host git token — the issue-scoped token 403s on
   `/pulls`), merged (merge commit `33ffd49`). Both issues auto-closed via the
   `Fixes #73` / `Fixes #47` references. Synced local `main`, deleted the branch.

8. **Finalize.** Plugin repo → ran `update-plugin.sh`; the enabled pin is now
   0.38.0 (operator restart/`/clear` to load it into a running session). Memory +
   transcript updated.

## Cut state

- **Shipped:** plugin 0.38.0 on `origin/main`; issues #73 and #47 closed.
- **Live:** plugin pin updated to 0.38.0 at finalize (next session loads it;
  current running session needs a restart/`/clear`).
- **No** plan artifact archived (a focused two-issue fix executed without a
  written `superpowers:writing-plans` plan — todos sufficed). **No** §9 pipeline
  stage (plugin/docs/scripts change, no deployable UI app). **No** worktree to
  tear down (worked in-place; no live concurrent session).

## Deferred decisions

- **Stale branch + stray untracked files left untouched.** The opening checkout's
  `fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory` branch (unmerged `05a9e82`) and the four
  untracked working-tree files (`issues/*.md` + a `…-design.pdf`) are pre-existing
  prior-session leftovers, not this session's work. Left exactly as found rather
  than merging/discarding unreviewed work. Alternative: adopt/finalize the stale
  branch — declined as out of scope for "fix issues 73 and 47." Someone should
  clean these up (they have recurred in several recent finalizes).

## Next session

```
/goal feedback
```

4 open plugin-feedback issues remain on the tracker (all untriaged); #73 is now
fixed. `/goal feedback` runs `wgl-dev-plugin-review-feedback` to triage them.

## Operator plate

- Restart or `/clear` to load plugin **0.38.0** into a running session (the pin is
  already updated; it just isn't live in *this* session).
- Optional housekeeping: the stale `fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory` branch and
  the untracked `issues/*.md` + `…-design.pdf` in the plugin working tree are
  prior-session leftovers awaiting disposition.
