+/goal Address gitea issue #38 - fix it in this session and close it once the fix is verified
+```
+
+## Plan
+
+Fix Gitea issue #38 on the plugin's own tracker — harden the `finalize-on-goal`
+Stop hook so it can never wedge a session in a `{decision:"block"}` loop — verify
+it, ship it, and let the merge close the issue.
+
+Issue #38 (`type/task`, `priority/P1`): the hook never reads the Stop input's
+`stop_hook_active` field (the runtime's intended loop-breaker), and its sentinel
+write uses `> "$sentinel" 2>/dev/null || true`, so an unwritable transcripts dir
+makes every subsequent Stop re-emit the block — the one path that violates the
+hook's own "fails open" claim. Acceptance: (1) `.stop_hook_active == true` → silent
+exit; (2) sentinel-write failure → silent exit instead of block; (3) happy path
+(one nudge per new achievement) unchanged. Scope: those two guards only. Source:
+capture session dev-claude-plugin-0035 (plugin source review).
+
+## Pre-state
+
+- Branch at session open: `fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory` (a concurrent
+  session's branch), working tree dirty with untracked `issues/publish-step.md`,
+  `issues/resumable-capture.md`, and a capture-design PDF — **none mine**.
+- `origin/main` tip: `4f57d2a` (PR #51, "fix(wgl-remediate): redirect ensure_label
+  log echo to stderr (issue #37)"); plugin version on origin/main = **0.28.0**.
+  (My first read of the working-tree `plugin.json` showed 0.27.1 — that was the
+  stale `fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory` branch, behind origin/main.)
+- **Two concurrent same-app sessions live:** the claim peek showed 0035 + 0036
+  `--INPROGRESS`, and `git worktree list` showed `.worktrees/issue-39` (a session
+  working issue #39) plus several `.claude/worktrees/*`.
+
+## Turn-by-turn arc
+
+1. **Session gate.** Classified the `/goal #38` opening prompt as
+   **planning-and-executing** (a fix) and invoked `wgl-planning-and-executing`.
+2. **Scoped the issue before claiming.** Fetched issue #38 from the plugin tracker
+   via `gitea-api.sh` to confirm which repo/tracker it lives on (the plugin's own)
+   — this determines the app to claim a transcript against. Read the target hook
+   `hooks/finalize-on-goal`.
+3. **Claimed transcript 0037** (`claim-session-id.sh`; dry-run peek first surfaced
+   0035/0036 in flight → autonomous posture: noted them and proceeded). The claim
+   only writes to the session-history repo + `~/.wgl/`, not the contended plugin
+   checkout.
+4. **Isolated in a worktree.** Because two concurrent same-app sessions share the
+   checkout (the §5.4 hazard that bit sessions 0029/0030), created
+   `.worktrees/finalize-on-goal-guard` off `origin/main` on branch
+   `fix/finalize-on-goal-stop-loop-guard`. Did all edits there; never touched the
+   shared checkout.
+5. **Two guards.** In the worktree copy of `hooks/finalize-on-goal`:
+   - after the `jq`/`python3` availability checks, parse `stop_hook_active` and
+     `silent_exit` when `true`, before any detection runs;
+   - change the sentinel write from `… 2>/dev/null || true` to
+     `{ printf '%s' "$achieved_count" > "$sentinel"; } 2>/dev/null || silent_exit`
+     — fail open if the write fails, and group the redirect so the failure is also
+     stderr-silent.
+6. **Verified** with a 4-case harness (`/tmp/wgl-test-finalize-hook.sh`, isolated
+   via `WGL_TRANSCRIPTS_DIR`, a fabricated placeholder + a transcript line carrying
+   a real `goal_status`/`met:true` object):
+   - happy path → emits one `{decision:"block"}`, writes sentinel `1`;
+   - re-fire (sentinel already set) → silent, no block (existing behavior intact);
+   - `stop_hook_active:true` → silent, no block, sentinel never written (exits
+     before detection);
+   - unwritable sentinel dir → silent, no block (fail open).
+   `bash -n` clean.
+7. **Shipped.** Bumped `plugin.json` 0.28.0 → **0.28.1**; committed (with the
+   `Co-Authored-By` trailer); pushed the branch; created **PR #52** via the Gitea
+   API using the **default per-host git token** (the issue-scoped token 403s on
+   `/pulls`, per the 0031 gotcha); merged it (`merge`, delete-branch-after-merge).
+   `Fixes #38` auto-closed the issue. Verified PR `merged:true` and issue #38
+   `state:closed`.
+8. **Cleaned up** my worktree (`git worktree remove`, branch deleted), pruned the
+   stale remote ref; left `.worktrees/issue-39` (the other live session) in place.
+9. **Finalized** via `wgl-session-finalize` (planning-and-executing addendum: no
+   impl-plan artifact to archive; no §9 pipeline stage for a hook/meta change).
+
+## Cut state
+
+- `origin/main` at `b6a0277` (PR #52 merge), plugin version **0.28.1**.
+- Issue #38 **closed**. My branch deleted locally + remotely.
+- My worktree removed; the shared checkout and the other sessions' worktrees were
+  never touched.
+- **Re-install needed** to make 0.28.1 + the hardened hook live (the standing
+  plugin gotcha).
+
+## Deferred decisions
+
+_No low-confidence calls this session._ The one judgment call — bumping to a patch
+**0.28.1** — was grounded by reading `origin/main`'s actual version (0.28.0), not a
+guess; the worktree-isolation choice followed directly from the §5.4 rule given two
+live concurrent same-app sessions.
+
+## Next-session prompt
+
+The parked strategic goal is unchanged (Patchwatch rfc-app remediation); several
+sibling plugin-tracker issues from the 0035 capture batch are also open (#35/#36 P2
+features, #39 in flight in another session). The durable next move:
+
+```
+/goal Patchwatch rfc-app remediation — remediate the open patchwatch findings on ben.stull/rfc-app (#36 vitest, #37–#40 tqdm/idna), making the depth call on the pin-bump (deployment 0.46.1 lags main 0.51.1). See memory: project_dev_claude_plugin.md "Parked goal".
