+# Session 0060.0 — Transcript
+
+> Date: 2026-06-01
+> Start: 2026-06-01T06-30 (PST implied)
+> Goal: launch-app **Slice 2** — correct the SPEC against the extracted
+> engine, build the `deployment.toml` schema + fail-closed `validate` verb
+> (SPEC §5.3), and author the `define-deployment` skill (§6.6). Pre-prod,
+> single environment.
+>
+> Outcome: **All Slice 2 deliverables shipped and MERGED.**
+> `wiggleverse/engineering` PR #3 (SPEC v0.0.2 + `define-deployment` skill +
+> ROADMAP close) → merged `914bf74`. `flotilla-core` extended to **v0.3.0**
+> (`scaffold` / fail-closed `validate` / reconciling `import` +
+> `gcloud.describe_config`) → PR #1 merged `4841361`, **371 tests green**.
+> Dogfood produced + validated `wiggle-snip/deployment.toml`. The session
+> also **created the `wiggleverse/flotilla-core` Gitea repo** (operator) and
+> **integrated a live collision** with a parallel preview-environments line.
+>
+> Highlights:
+> - Spec-leads-code done literally: the SPEC correction landed as its **own
+>   commit** before any verb was built (`43bfa93`, guide §3.2).
+> - Discovered a **parallel session actively building preview-environments**
+>   in flotilla-core's main checkout → isolated all work in a git **worktree**
+>   (guide §5.4 / memory). That call paid off: the two lines collided on a
+>   shared `v0.2.0`; the worktree let the rebase-to-`v0.3.0` be clean.
+> - The §8.3 secrets rule held mechanically end to end — the Gitea bot token
+>   was used (to drive PRs via the API) **without a single secret byte
+>   entering the session**: fetched into a shell var, never echoed.

+## Launch prompt

+# launch-app Slice 2 — deployment.toml schema + define-deployment (SPEC §5, §6.6)
+
+Slice 1 is done and verified: flotilla-core v0.1.0 is extracted at
+~/projects/wiggleverse/flotilla-core (315 tests green), ohm-rfc-app-flotilla is a
+thin shim over it (v1.8.0, branch slice1-extract-flotilla-core pushed, PR open,
+NOT yet merged), and OHM re-deploys through the core unchanged (live DB + pin
+0.31.3 + 8 secret refs + live /api/health 200 all proven).
+
+## Task
+1. FIRST correct the SPEC per SLICE-1-SPEC-FEEDBACK.md (its own commit, guide §3.2).
+2. Firm up the §5.1 schema and build the fail-closed `validate` verb (§5.3).
+3. Build `define-deployment`: the topology+names interview deriving from the One
+   Name (§3.3), emitting + validating the record per the §8 UX contract. NEVER ask
+   for secret bytes (§8.3).
+
+## Tests
+- Each §5.3 rule rejects a crafted-bad record with the right message.
+- A good record validates and round-trips through flotilla-core's loader.
+- Dogfood: define-deployment produces a valid deployment.toml for wiggle-snip.
+
+## Scope guard
+Pre-prod, single environment. NO slots/ramp/promote/rollback/compat-gate.
+
+## Process
+Spec-driven, cite section numbers in commits; branch + PR (Gitea, no gh CLI).
+Hard secrets rule (SPEC §8.3): stdin-piped gestures only. Test run of our own
+tooling — do NOT publish a transcript unless I say so.
+```
+
+> Note on the transcript: the launch prompt said "do NOT publish a transcript
+> unless I say so." Mid-session the operator said to publish — hence this file.
+
+---
+
+## Pre-session state
+
+- **launch-app suite** (`~/projects/wiggleverse/engineering/launch-app/`):
+  SPEC v0.0.1 + ROADMAP + `SLICE-1-SPEC-FEEDBACK.md` existed locally but were
+  **never committed** (the `engineering` repo tracked only the top-level
+  handbook `README.md`).
+- **flotilla-core** (`~/projects/wiggleverse/flotilla-core`): v0.1.0 at commit
+  `cf22fc8` (315 tests). **No git remote.** Its main working tree carried
+  **uncommitted preview-environments WIP** (`health.py`, `registry.py`,
+  `009_previews.sql`) — a parallel effort.
+- **wiggle-snip** (`~/projects/wiggleverse/wiggle-snip`): the §5.1 happy-path
+  fixture; built + tested; **not a git repo**; no `deployment.toml`; no GCP
+  foundation yet. Needs only `DATABASE_PATH`; no secrets (URL shortener).
+- **`scaffold-gcp-project`** skill exists; no other launch-app skill existed.
+
+---
+
+## Turn-by-turn arc
+
+### Arc 1 — Read the contract before touching code
+
+Read SPEC, ROADMAP, `SLICE-1-SPEC-FEEDBACK.md`, the engineering guide, and the
+extracted engine (`deployment_toml.py`, `registry.py`, `cli.py`, `context.py`,
+`gcloud.py`, `secrets.py`, `plan.py`, conftest) plus the wiggle-snip fixture and
+the `scaffold-gcp-project` skill (to mirror skill conventions). Settled the
+build shape: the schema + `validate` + `scaffold` are **testable flotilla-core
+code**; `define-deployment` is a **skill** that drives those verbs.
+
+### Arc 2 — Correct the SPEC FIRST (its own commit, guide §3.2)
+
+Baseline-committed the un-tracked Slice-1 artifacts (`330d879`) so the
+correction would land as a clean diff, then made the **SPEC v0.0.2**
+correction (`43bfa93`) settling all of `SLICE-1-SPEC-FEEDBACK`:
+
+- **§5.2** — config (`deployment.toml`) vs the engine's separate local **state
+  store** (deploy history / health snapshots / the §8.3 deploy lock). The toml
+  is config-only; that state is never in it and never reconstructable from it.
+- **§3.2.1** — the canonicity fork settled: **toml-canonical** for new apps,
+  the registry a reconcilable cache; OHM stays grandfathered registry-canonical.
+- **§5.1** — added `[app].gitea_host` + optional `[app].gitea_read_secret_ref`
+  (a private-repo read credential — a reference, never bytes); §5.2.1 states the
+  single-repo assumption (OHM's pin/source/content split is grandfathered).
+- **§5.3** — the `vm.project == gcloud_config-project` check needs a NEW
+  read-only `gcloud config configurations describe`; **PASS/WARN/FAIL**
+  outcomes; §5.3.1 scopes `validate` to define-deployment-authored records.
+- **§7.1** — "operator-CLI engine", not "9-phase deploy engine".
+
+Verified the `gcloud config configurations describe <name> --format=json` shape
+is read-only **before** depending on it: it returns `properties.core.project`
+and the on-disk active-config pointer (`benstull-infra`) stayed put.
+
+### Arc 3 — A parallel session is live → isolate in a worktree
+
+On branching flotilla-core, found **uncommitted preview-environments WIP** in
+the main tree — and on re-checking minutes later it had **grown** (now
+`cloudrun.py`, `preview.py`, `CHANGELOG.md`, a `VERSION`/`pyproject` bump):
+a **parallel session was actively building** there. Deleted the entangled
+branch and moved all Slice 2 work into an **isolated git worktree**
+(`~/projects/wiggleverse/flotilla-core-slice2`, branched from `cf22fc8`, own
+venv) per guide §5.4 / the worktree-for-parallel-git memory. Only read-only git
+was ever run in the shared main checkout thereafter.
+
+### Arc 4 — Build flotilla-core v0.2.0 (the mechanical core)
+
+- `gcloud.describe_config()` / `config_project()` — the read-only project read,
+  injectable (a `GcloudRunner`) so tests exercise it with no real gcloud;
+  unreadable → a `GcloudReadError` the validator renders as **WARN**.
+- `deployment_toml.scaffold()` — derive a full §5.1 record from the One Name
+  (§3.3). Mechanical §8.3 guard: refuses any `--secret-ref` /
+  `gitea_read_secret_ref` that doesn't match the `<project>/<id>[@version]`
+  reference shape, so the emitter can never write secret bytes.
+- `deployment_toml.validate()` — the §5.3 fail-closed checks, each PASS/WARN/FAIL
+  + remediation; only a FAIL blocks. (`_is_under` uses path-segment containment
+  so `/opt/x-evil` is correctly **not** under `/opt/x`.)
+- `sync_to_registry(reconcile=…)` — toml-canonical (§3.2.1): re-import updates
+  the row in place and prunes overlay/secret keys the toml dropped.
+- CLI verbs `deployment scaffold | validate | import`.
+
+**Dead end (kept, honest):** the first commit attempt used `git commit -m '…'`
+with a message containing "the §5.1 schema's own verbs" — the apostrophe in
+"schema's" closed the single quote and zsh tried to run the backticks/`>` in the
+rest as shell. Switched to `git commit -F <file>` for every multi-line message
+after. Committed as `a9a4983` (v0.2.0).
+
+### Arc 5 — Tests + dogfood
+
+28 new tests: each §5.3 rule rejects a crafted-bad record with its message; a
+good scaffolded record validates + round-trips through the loader; reconcile
+prunes; CLI exit codes. **Full suite 343 passed.** Then ran the real
+`define-deployment` gesture against wiggle-snip → `deployment.toml` validates
+(5 PASS, 1 expected WARN: its gcloud config doesn't exist until Slice 3/5) →
+`import` → `deployment show` → 9-phase plan assembly. Surfaced one friction note
+(scaffold always emits `APP_URL`, which wiggle-snip doesn't consume → Slice-5
+backlog).
+
+### Arc 6 — The `define-deployment` skill (§6.6)
+
+Authored `launch-app/skills/define-deployment/SKILL.md`: probe → confirm the One
+Name → ask the non-derivable choices → scaffold → validate → explain → import.
+Hard §8.3 rule throughout — records secret **references** only, hands the
+operator the stdin-piped `secret set` gesture, never asks for a value. Committed
+`c47386e` with the ROADMAP Slice 2 close + next-session brief.
+
+### Arc 7 — Ship it (PRs over the Gitea API, secrets-safe)
+
+Pushed the `engineering` branch (SSH). The operator had asked for "branch + PR".
+Rather than hand back a URL, drove the PR via the Gitea API — fetching the
+`ohm-rfc-app-gitea-bot-token` into a shell variable that was **never echoed**
+(no secret byte in the session, §8.3). Confirmed the bot has admin/push on
+`wiggleverse/engineering`, opened **PR #3**, and (operator-approved) **merged**
+it → `914bf74`; synced local `main`.
+
+### Arc 8 — flotilla-core repo creation: a real wall
+
+The flotilla-core repo had no remote. Tried to create `wiggleverse/flotilla-core`
+via the API with the bot token → **403** (the bot lacks org repo-create). Tried
+SSH push-to-create → **"Push to create is not enabled for organizations."** So
+repo creation was genuinely operator-only. Pre-set the `origin` remote so the
+push would just work once it existed, and handed the operator the one manual
+step. Recorded the concurrent-lines hazard + likely **v0.2.0 collision** in
+memory.
+
+### Arc 9 — Operator created the repo; push + the collision
+
+Operator created `wiggleverse/flotilla-core` (private). Their manual push failed
+only because pasted `# cf22fc8` comments were read as refspecs; pushed `main` +
+`slice2-schema-validate` from the session instead. Opened **PR #1** — but it came
+back **`mergeable: False`**. Root cause: the **parallel preview-environments line
+had pushed straight to `main`** as `333e0ff` (also tagged "v0.2.0") in the gap.
+The two lines had diverged from `cf22fc8` — the predicted collision, live.
+
+### Arc 10 — Integrate: rebase to v0.3.0, prove coexistence
+
+Measured the conflict surface: only `VERSION`, `pyproject.toml`, `cli.py`
+(`registry.py`/`health.py` were preview-only — no overlap). Rebased the Slice 2
+branch onto the new `main` in the worktree; `cli.py` **auto-merged cleanly**
+(both the `preview` command group and the `deployment scaffold|validate|import`
+verbs present); resolved `VERSION`/`pyproject` to **v0.3.0** (deconflicting the
+duplicate 0.2.0). Reinstalled + ran the **combined** suite (preview tests + mine):
+**371 passed.** Amended the commit to v0.3.0 (`9b15b2a`), force-pushed (updated
+PR #1), confirmed **`mergeable: True`**, and — operator-asked — **merged** PR #1
+→ `4841361`. Deliberately did **not** `git pull` the shared main checkout (the
+parallel session has uncommitted work there; its next pull picks up the merge).
+
+### Arc 11 — Publish (this transcript)
+
+Operator asked to publish a transcript. Claimed **0060** via
+`claim-session-id.sh`, finalized this file, gave the next-session handoff in
+chat, and published.
+
+---
+
+## Cross-references
+
+- **`wiggleverse/engineering`** — PR #3 MERGED `914bf74`. Commits: `330d879`
+  (baseline Slice-1 artifacts), `43bfa93` (SPEC v0.0.2 correction), `c47386e`
+  (define-deployment skill + ROADMAP close). SPEC now **v0.0.2**.
+- **`wiggleverse/flotilla-core`** — repo created (private), PR #1 MERGED
+  `4841361`. Now **v0.3.0** (`9b15b2a` rebased atop the preview line `333e0ff`).
+  Worktree at `~/projects/wiggleverse/flotilla-core-slice2` (branch deleted on
+  remote post-merge; safe to remove). **371 tests green.**
+- **wiggle-snip** — `deployment.toml` generated + validated (not a git repo).
+- **Parallel line** — preview-environments (`feat/preview-environments` + the
+  WIP that became `333e0ff` on main) is a separate, still-active effort; no OHM
+  deploy, no `ohm-rfc` / §13 edit happened this session.
+
+---
+
+## Next-session prompt
+
+> **State (after Slice 2, 2026-06-01):** launch-app SPEC is **v0.0.2**;
+> `define-deployment` (§6.6) + `scaffold-gcp-project` (§6.5) skills exist;
+> `flotilla-core` is **v0.3.0** on `wiggleverse/flotilla-core` `main`
+> (private repo now created) with `deployment scaffold|validate|import` +
+> `gcloud.describe_config`, sitting atop the merged preview-environments line.
+> wiggle-snip has a validated `deployment.toml`.
+>
+> **Next: Slice 3 — `provision-vm` + `scaffold-gitea-repos`** (SPEC §2, §6.7,
+> §6.8). `provision-vm` gates on `deployment validate` (§4.2) — built + proven.
+> wiggle-snip needs its GCP foundation first (`scaffold-gcp-project`), which
+> clears the one dogfood WARN.
+>
+> **Open follow-ups (not Slice 2):** (a) the launch-app suite skills should be
+> installed/symlinked for invocation; (b) pin `ohm-rfc-app-flotilla`'s
+> dependency to the now-published `flotilla-core` + add it to the Patchwatch
+> runner build context; (c) merge `slice1-extract-flotilla-core` (OHM-shim,
+> driver-session territory); (d) Slice-5 backlog: `scaffold` emits an unused
+> `APP_URL` overlay key by default.
+>
+> **Coordination:** a parallel preview-environments line shares `flotilla-core`.
+> Work each line in its own **worktree**; never run mutating git in the shared
+> main checkout while it's active. Both lines touch `cli.py` (additive command
+> groups) — expect trivial conflicts only.
+>
+> **Scope guard:** pre-prod only, single environment. Slots / ramp / canary /
+> rollback are guide §10, out of scope (SPEC §10).
