## Pre-session state

| repo | sha | state |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ohm-rfc | `8a16cfa` | `main` clean; pin at `0.21.0` (Wave 10 UX-polish strikes) |
| ohm-rfc-app-flotilla | `c8804a6` | session anchored here; `main` clean except untracked `.claude/` |
| rfc-app | n/a (not touched this session) | last shipped tag v0.21.0 |
| OHM live | running v0.21.0 per the Session 0019.0 ledger | healthy |
| ohm-rfc pin | `0.21.0` | unchanged this session |

Local transcript inventory at session open showed sessions
0001..0019 and 0021 present, with no `SESSION-0020`, `SESSION-0022`,
or `SESSION-0023` transcripts. The intervening sessions are
operator-internal — `8a16cfa` (the v0.21.0 strikes) and `ae34203`
(the v0.21.0 pin bump) on `ohm-rfc` evidence work that happened
without local transcripts being cut. This session does not
investigate — it accepts the operator-asserted session ID of `24`
and runs with it. Same posture as 0021.0 took for its absent
predecessors.

---

## Turn-by-turn arc

### Arc 1 — Capture #33 (Repo naming + location alignment, concrete decisions)

Operator opened with the verbatim brief: **"Let's add to the
roadmap: Get all of the repo names and locations aligned. The
ohm-app should be ohm-rfc-app, all of the session docs and other
docs should be in teh same repo (ohm-rfc-infra - deprecate the
session history repo). Flotilla is the right pattern. Any
personal ben docs like 'how I wiggle through the wiggleverse'
should be in ben's personal repo"**.

Read `ROADMAP.md` in two chunks (40234 tokens for the first
page, capped at 25000 by the tool; offset=1028 for the
remainder). Confirmed the file structure and the location of
the "Items added 2026-05-28" subsection (now containing
#24..#32, with #24/#25/#31/#32 struck through per the v0.21.0
shipping in Session 0019.0).

Recognized the overlap with **#17 "Repo naming + location
alignment"**, the existing roadmap item that named the same
friction but left every specific call open as session-time
work. The operator's brief is the decision moment that #17's
inventory-and-propose pass would have surfaced — concrete
answers for each of #17's open questions:

- ohm-app VM → ohm-rfc-app: matches #1's scope, operator
  confirmed
- ohm-infra → ohm-rfc-infra: NEW (the rename for the operational
  repo itself)
- ohm-session-history: deprecate, fold into ohm-rfc-infra
  (NEW direction — session docs and other docs colocated)
- flotilla naming pattern: stays (the operator confirmed
  `<deployment>-<framework>-flotilla` is the right shape; #17
  had flagged this as "doesn't survive a reader's first
  glance" friction — the operator's call is to leave the name
  and add a README clarifier)
- personal Ben docs: move to `git.benstull.org` (NEW — splits
  the personal-vision content from the OHM-org content)

Drafted #33 in the shape of #31/#32: framing (positioned as
the "execution-ready follow-up to #17"), the five decisions
as a numbered list (each with the concrete rename target and
the gesture), open-at-session-time questions that the brief
did NOT yet resolve (`ben.stull/rfc-app` personal-vs-org
namespace, mirror location convention, other repo names),
impact on shipped items (#14 publish target, #30
sessions-fetch URL, #32 "View source" link, SESSION-PROTOCOL.md
in the post-rename location), session shape (extends #17's
three-step shape: inventory + propose + execute), and a
coordination block making explicit that #33 supersedes #17's
decision content while #17 stays in the file as historical
context.

Added the row to the version-target table. No commit yet —
held for #34.

### Arc 2 — Capture #34 (GCP instance + resource name alignment)

Operator's follow-up message, verbatim: **"Also add to the
roadmap - get the google instance and resource names aligned
to the ohm-rfc-app name"**.

Recognized this as a **distinct-but-adjacent extension of #1**.
#1 names the VM-internal rename (instance name + unix service
user + install dir + systemd unit) plus the immediate fallout
(nginx reload, register-ohm.sh re-run, no-op deploy). #1 does
NOT name the broader GCP-resource inventory (firewall rules,
service accounts, Secret Manager secrets, GCS buckets,
logging/monitoring, project labels, billing labels). The
operator's brief is asking for that broader pass.

Drafted #34 with a comprehensive starting inventory of
GCP-side resources (compute instance + disks, network +
firewall, DNS — including the `rfc.wiggleverse.org` legacy
cleanup memory entry, IAM service accounts, Secret Manager
secrets, Cloud Storage, logging + monitoring, project labels,
billing labels, ohm-infra `gcloud` scripts, flotilla
deployment record). Framed as "the starting shape, not
exhaustive — session inventories the GCP project directly."

Captured the **dual gesture for non-renamable resources**
explicitly. Service accounts, Secret Manager secrets, and
GCS buckets cannot be renamed in place — GCP requires
create-new → re-grant-bindings / copy-contents / flip-readers
→ verify → delete-old. The session ships a per-resource
mini-runbook for each. Per §3 invariant 1 the secrets gesture
is operator-run, the assistant never sees the bytes.

Sequencing block ties #1, #33, #34 together as the **full
alignment arc**: #1 + #34 pair in one operator-led
GCP-and-VM session (overlapping resource scope); #33 runs
independently (no GCP scope). Together they make every name
in OHM point at `ohm-rfc-app` end-to-end.

Open-at-session-time questions: inventory completeness (the
session runs `gcloud` directly to confirm), downtime windows
(some moves zero-downtime, some not), rollback contract per
non-renamable resource (write the rollback before the
delete-old runs), `rfc.wiggleverse.org` Cloud DNS confirmation
(the OHM deployment-host memory says it was deprovisioned
2026-05-27; the session confirms the DNS record set is
actually gone, not just the cert/binding).

Added the row to the version-target table — flagged that
this MAY earn a flotilla minor (probably `v1.2.0`) if §13's
deployment-record schema bakes in GCP identifiers as fixed
strings, otherwise it's a pure ops gesture with no version
bump.

### Arc 3 — Commit + push

Operator said: **"Write out a transcript after committing and
pushing the changes to the roadmap. You're session 24"**.

Ran the parallel context-gather on `ohm-rfc` (`git status`,
`git log --oneline -5`, `git diff --stat ROADMAP.md`). Diff
confirmed 299 insertions, no other changes. Recent commits
confirmed the convention: `ROADMAP: +#XX..#YY (...)` for
adds, `ROADMAP #XX: strike through (...)` for shipped marks.

Committed with the conventional shape:

```
ROADMAP: +#33..#34 (repo + GCP name alignment specifics)
```

The commit body summarized each item — #33's five decisions,
#34's resource inventory + dual-gesture call-out, and the
together-they-form-the-full-arc framing.

Pushed cleanly: `8a16cfa..73d28cb  main -> main` to
`ssh://git.wiggleverse.org:2222/ben/ohm-rfc.git`.

Side-note from git (carried over from 0021.0): "Your name
and email address were configured automatically based on
your username and hostname" — `Ben Stull <benstull@mac.lan>`.
Same surface as before; not in this session's scope.

### Arc 4 — Cut transcript (this arc)

Listed existing transcripts in `~/git/ohm-infra/` to
confirm the next-session position (operator-asserted as 24;
local absence of 0022/0023 acknowledged in pre-state).
Sampled SESSION-0021.0 to anchor format conventions (the
blockquote header shape, the pre-state table, the arc-by-arc
narrative, the cut-state table, the §19.2 candidates block,
the operator-plate block, the prompt-for-next-session
block). Computed start/end bracket. Wrote this file. Will
publish via `scripts/publish-transcript.sh` after delivering
the handoff prompt — per the
[handoff-prompt-before-publish feedback memory](~/.claude/projects/.../memory/feedback_handoff_prompt_before_publish.md),
the prompt lands in chat first.

Reported the transcript-written state to the operator with
the handoff prompt and the explicit publish gesture, awaiting
"publish" (or operator-side execution).

### Arc 5 — Update + publish

Operator said: **"Update the transcript with this last prompt
and publish"**.

The transcript's Arc 4 had ended at "awaiting publish"; this
turn captures the publish trigger itself, the file rename to
the new end-bracket (T18-40 start, T20-05 end — wider than
the originally-estimated T19-15 because the operator's
publish-trigger landed later than the writing-finished
moment), and the `scripts/publish-transcript.sh` invocation.

Per the "transcript is the final session step" feedback
memory the sequence is correct — the publish runs after all
other work is done. Per the same memory, "re-finalize if more
work happens after"; this arc IS that re-finalization. No
substantive content changed (no new releases, no new deploys,
no new shipped items) — the cut-state table, §19.2 block,
and operator-plate block all remain accurate as-written.
Only the file's end-bracket moved and this arc was appended
to document why.

File renamed from `SESSION-0024.0-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T18-40--2026-05-28T19-15.md`
to `SESSION-0024.0-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T18-40--2026-05-28T20-05.md`.
`scripts/publish-transcript.sh` invoked on the new filename;
the script pushes to `wiggleverse/ohm-session-history`
(eventually destined for `ohm-rfc-infra/sessions/0024/` per
#33 once that ships, but the current target is the legacy
`ohm-session-history` repo).

## Cut state (end of session)

| | |
| --- | --- |
| ohm-rfc | `73d28cb` — `ROADMAP: +#33..#34` |
| ohm-rfc-app-flotilla | unchanged (`c8804a6`); session anchored here |
| rfc-app | unchanged (no release this session) |
| OHM live | unchanged — running v0.21.0 |
| ohm-rfc pin | `0.21.0` — unchanged |

| Wave / ledger | Status |
| --- | --- |
| #33 Repo naming + location alignment (concrete decisions) | ✅ captured in ROADMAP, not yet picked up |
| #34 GCP instance + resource name alignment | ✅ captured in ROADMAP, not yet picked up |

No releases, no deploys, no flotilla gestures, no secret material.
Pure roadmap-capture session — same shape as 0021.0.

## §19.2 candidates surfaced

None this session firsthand. The capture work doesn't run into
framework deferrals; the items themselves will surface §19.2
candidates when their implementing sessions run.

Forward-looking observations worth carrying into the
implementing sessions:

- **#34's flotilla deployment-record schema** (§13) is the
  obvious §19.2 candidate if its current shape bakes in GCP
  identifiers as fixed strings. If the schema already
  abstracts the identifier set (instance name as a field,
  SA email as a field, project ID as a field — separable
  from the `ohm-rfc-app` deployment name), the GCP rename
  ships as pure data edits. If it doesn't, the rename
  session both edits the data AND extends the schema to
  separate the concerns — a textbook §19.2 generalization
  ahead of the future `flotilla-core` extraction.
- **#33's repo-rename URL-update sweep** has a
  shaped-by-OHM aspect (every `git.wiggleverse.org/...` URL
  reference in CLAUDE.md / SPEC.md / SESSION-PROTOCOL.md /
  scripts / the rfc-app sessions-fetch URL) that doesn't
  carry to a different deployment. Not a §19.2 candidate;
  flagged here so the implementing session doesn't try to
  generalize it.

---

## What lands on the operator's plate

Nothing actionable from this session itself. Both items are
queued; no operator-only gestures pending right now (no
secrets to set, no decisions deferred at this layer, no
gitea-admin moves).

Forward-looking, both items put significant operator-only
gestures on the plate of their implementing sessions:

- **#33 implementing session**: the gitea-side repo renames
  (`ohm-infra` → `ohm-rfc-infra`, the session-history
  deprecation, the personal-docs split to
  `git.benstull.org`) are operator-decision territory — URL-
  breaking moves where the operator decides per-repo
  whether to use a tombstone commit at the old path, archive
  the old repo, or delete it outright. The assistant can
  prepare the move list + the tombstone-stub content; the
  operator executes the gitea-side moves through the gitea
  admin UI (or `git remote rename` + push, depending on the
  approach). Also: the `ben.stull/rfc-app` personal-vs-org
  namespace question that #33 left open — operator decides
  at the implementing session.
- **#34 implementing session**: the Secret Manager dual-
  gesture is per-secret operator-run, since flotilla's
  secret-bind layer reads from operator-managed secret
  resources. The session inventories which secrets need the
  swap and provides the per-secret `gcloud secrets create
  → versions add → IAM binding → flotilla overlay flip →
  gcloud secrets delete-old` command set; operator runs each.
  Same shape for SA renames (the SA is the VM's runtime
  identity, so the swap window is the deploy-pause window).

## Prompt the operator can paste into the next Claude Code session

```
You're the OHM driver for Session 0025.0.

Previous session (0024.0) was a roadmap-capture session — added
#33 (repo naming + location alignment, the concrete decisions
on top of #17's open scope) and #34 (GCP instance + resource
name alignment to ohm-rfc-app — extends #1 to every GCP-side
resource). Pushed as `73d28cb` on ohm-rfc. No releases, no
deploys.

Active roadmap queue (read /Users/benstull/projects/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.md
for the full table):

Naming-alignment arc (operator just decided the specifics —
this is now the hottest unblocked block):
- #1 — VM rename ohm-app → ohm-rfc-app (instance + unix + dir
  + systemd). Long-deferred; now has a peer in #34. Pairs
  with #34 in one operator-led GCP session.
- #33 — Repo naming alignment (ohm-infra → ohm-rfc-infra,
  fold ohm-session-history in, personal docs to
  git.benstull.org, flotilla pattern stays). Independent of
  GCP — no overlap with #1/#34. Operator-driven (URL-
  breaking moves through the gitea admin UI).
- #34 — GCP resource name alignment (firewall rules, IAM
  service accounts, Secret Manager secrets, GCS buckets,
  logging/monitoring/dashboards, project + billing labels,
  ohm-infra gcloud scripts, flotilla §13 deployment record).
  Non-renamable resources need the dual gesture (create-new
  → flip-readers → delete-old) with per-resource rollback.
  Pairs with #1.

Other unblocked items (less hot):
- #21 Amplitude audit Part A — real-world data has accumulated
  since v0.15.0 shipped 2026-05-28; the audit is ready to run
- #22 pro-analytics-consent copy — depends on operator-drafted
  text + counsel review
- #26 propose-RFC + propose-PR "what will you be using this
  for?" optional field — small frontend minor
- #27 Haiku-recommended tags — needs new ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
  secret; CHANGELOG MUST name the flotilla secret set gesture
- #28 PR cross-references — large; can split into parts
- #29 sign-in resume — small-to-medium

Deferred / awaiting state:
- #25 inbox redesign (operator's reference screenshot)
- #31b UX polish per-surface bespoke pass (operator
  screenshot-guided review)

Repo state at session open:
- ohm-rfc HEAD: 73d28cb
- pin: 0.21.0 (rfc-app)
- OHM live: v0.21.0 healthy
- no in-flight work

Read CLAUDE.md in ohm-rfc-app-flotilla for the two-layer rule
and the "never EVER ask the operator for secret bytes" gesture.
Read ~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-PROTOCOL.md for the session shape.
Read /Users/benstull/projects/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.md's
"Operating instructions for the next session" block at the
bottom for the driver/dispatch protocol if you're picking up
parallel work.

If the operator wants to pick the naming-alignment arc next:
#33 is the parallel-safe one (no GCP overlap with #1/#34) and
runs entirely through gitea admin UI + cross-doc URL sweeps —
that's the operator-friendly entry point. #1 + #34 are the
downtime-windowed GCP session that should be scheduled
deliberately (some moves are zero-downtime, the SA swap window
is not).
```
