## Launch prompt

`capture: we need regular backups of Gitea`

## Goal / Outcome

Turn the operator's standing concern — the self-hosted Gitea forge has no backups
— into a well-formed, typed, source-linked Gitea issue. **Outcome:** filed **#30**
(`type/feature`, `priority/P1`) on `wiggleverse/engineering`; reconciled two
leftover drafts that turned out to be already filed; filed two pieces of plugin
feedback (#76, #80).

## Plan

1. Classify the opening prompt → **capture** session; claim tracked-lite transcript 0007.
2. Resolve target app (`engineering`) + content repo; check for resumable drafts.
3. Assemble context (self-originated, BUC-3), size the ask, draft section by section.
4. File on approval; disposition leftover drafts; finalize (tracked-lite, no artifact).

## Pre-session state

- Branch `docs/solution-design-pain-points-business-framing`, `M app.json` already
  dirty (operator's pre-existing docs work — untouched all session).
- `issues/` held two leftover drafts from a prior session:
  `observability-baseline.md`, `engineering-practice-uplift.md` (no filed-marker).

## Turn-by-turn arc

1. **Gate + claim.** Classified `capture:` prompt as a capture session (≥90%),
   invoked `wgl-capture`, claimed session **0007** (no concurrent sessions).
2. **Resolve + scan.** Resolved app `engineering`; content repo = same repo.
   `list-unfiled-drafts.sh` flagged the two leftover drafts as "unfiled" — noted
   as unrelated topics, deferred their disposition.
3. **Size the ask.** Reflected understanding (Gitea = single source of truth for
   all repos + tracker DB, one self-hosted host, no backup). Asked the operator:
   sized as **one Feature**; durability target **GCS off-site**.
4. **Draft v1.** Authored `issues/gitea-regular-backups.md` with value-first
   framing (present daily risk, not "we don't have backups yet").
5. **Operator correction (key turn).** Operator: business sections must be
   business-only; GCS / `gitea dump` / GCE VM / the Decomposition→slices checklist
   are all *solution* and belong under **Solution notes** only — Epics/Features are
   business-value-only, while Tasks/Stories/Bugs may be implementation-specific.
   → **Filed plugin feedback #76** (type-conditional business altitude).
6. **Draft v2.** Stripped all solution detail out of the business sections (e.g.
   Acceptance now "stored durably off the source host", not "lands in a GCS
   bucket"); moved GCS/`gitea dump`/systemd/flotilla + slicing to Solution notes
   as non-binding hints; removed the Decomposition section.
7. **Approve + file.** Operator approved; ensured labels (created `type/bug`),
   filed **#30**. Operator: "don't keep markdown copies — they're in Gitea" →
   discarded the filed draft. → **Filed plugin feedback #80** (discard-after-file
   default; reconsider publish step; detector-drift).
8. **Leftover drafts.** Operator chose "file them now" — but a tracker check showed
   both were **already filed** (#25 observability, #26 uplift); titles + internal
   `#25` reference matched. Surfaced the contradiction (filing would duplicate);
   operator chose **discard both**. `issues/` now empty.
9. **Finalize.** Survey clean; deferred-decisions empty; nothing parked.

## Cut state (end of session)

- **Filed:** `wiggleverse/engineering#30` — *Automated, restorable backups of the
  Gitea forge* (`type/feature`, `priority/P1`).
- **Plugin feedback:** `wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin#76`, `#80`.
- **Drafts:** all dispositioned — `gitea-regular-backups.md` discarded post-file;
  `observability-baseline.md` / `engineering-practice-uplift.md` discarded as
  already-filed (#25/#26). `issues/` empty.
- **Repo:** no commits made by this session. `M app.json` still dirty (pre-existing
  operator work, deliberately untouched). Branch unchanged.
- **Deferred decisions:** none (every judgment call was operator-confirmed).

## What lands on the operator's plate

- `M app.json` remains uncommitted — your own in-progress docs work, left as-is.
- #30 is captured but unprioritized/unbuilt — next move is a brainstorming/spec
  session for it when you choose to pull it.
- Plugin feedback #76 and #80 await triage via `wgl-dev-plugin-review-feedback`.

## Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

```
/goal brainstorm and spec issue #30 (automated, restorable Gitea backups) on wiggleverse/engineering
```

(Optional — no stored `Next /goal:` pointer; the captured issues live on the
tracker and prioritization is the operator's call.)
