+> Start: 2026-06-05T17-54 (PST)
+> End: 2026-06-05T18-00 (PST)
+> Type: coding (verification-only — no code change, no PR)
+> Status: **FINALIZED.**
+>
+> A short verification session: confirm the 0.15.0 `finalize-on-goal` Stop hook
+> (shipped session 0016 / PR #9) is installed and behaves correctly live. Resumed
+> from the stored `Next /goal:` via `/goal next`.
+
+## Launch prompt
+
+Operator opened with `/goal next` — the explicit "resume the stored next-goal"
+gesture. The SessionStart gate read this repo's memory `Next /goal:` field and
+adopted it as the objective:
+
+> Re-install plugin 0.15.0, then verify finalize-on-goal end-to-end live: in a
+> tracked session run a throwaway `/goal` that completes, confirm the new Stop
+> hook nudges `wgl-session-finalize` (yolo auto-finalizes / careful offers +
+> waits), and confirm `/goal next` resumes this very `Next /goal:` field from
+> memory.
+
+Classified as a **coding** session (hands-on verification of the plugin's runtime
+behavior on app `dev-claude-plugin`) and routed to `wgl-session-coding-init`.
+
+## Plan
+
+Verify the 0.15.0 `finalize-on-goal` Stop hook (the plugin's second hook, shipped
+session 0016 / PR #9) is installed and behaves correctly **live**. Four checks:
+
+1. Confirm 0.15.0 is the installed/live plugin (the re-install half of the goal).
+2. Confirm `/goal next` resumed the stored `Next /goal:` field from memory (half c).
+3. Inspect the live-installed hook wiring (`hooks.json` + the `finalize-on-goal`
+   script) — registration, detection, gates.
+4. Drive the installed hook bytes with crafted Stop payloads + decoys and confirm
+   the finalize nudge fires on a real achievement and stays silent otherwise
+   (halves a + b).
+
+## Findings — finalize-on-goal verified live
+
+**1. Re-install (DONE — already satisfied at session start).** The
+`…/plugins/cache/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin/…/0.15.0/` cache dir is present
+(alongside the previously-lagging 0.13.0/0.14.0), source `plugin.json` is
+`0.15.0`, and this session's `wgl-session-coding-init` skill itself loaded from
+the `…/0.15.0/…` cache path — proof the operator re-installed and 0.15.0 is live.
+This also closes the standing "operator re-install" follow-up in memory.
+
+**2. `/goal next` resume (VERIFIED live — by this very session).** The operator
+typed `/goal next`; the SessionStart gate read the `Next /goal:` field from this
+repo's project memory and routed its text into this coding session. The session
+existing and executing that objective *is* the live proof that `/goal next`
+resumption works against a real finalize-written field.
+
+**3. Installed hook wiring (CONFIRMED).** `hooks/hooks.json` registers both the
+`SessionStart` gate and a `Stop` → `finalize-on-goal` hook (no matcher = every
+turn-end); the SessionStart half demonstrably fired this session, proving the
+installed `hooks.json` is active. The `finalize-on-goal` script matches the
+canonical design: fails open throughout, cheap `grep '"goal_status"'` pre-gate,
+app resolution via `resolve-app.py`, **open `--INPROGRESS` placeholder** gate,
+structural detection (`.type=="goal_status" and .met==true and .sentinel!=true`
+via `.. | objects`), once-per-achievement **sentinel**
+(`SESSION-NNNN.goal-finalize-state`), and a mode-neutral block-`reason` instructing
+the agent to branch on posture (yolo → finalize now; careful → offer + wait).
+
+**4. Live behavioral test (6/6 PASS).** Drove the *installed* 0.15.0 hook bytes
+directly with crafted Stop payloads, isolated via `WGL_TRANSCRIPTS_DIR` so the
+real SESSION-0017 sentinel was never touched:
+
+| Case | Expect | Got |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| achieved (`met:true`) + open placeholder | block (nudge) | block ✓ |
+| immediate re-run, same achievement | silent (sentinel) | silent ✓ |
+| `met:false` decoy | silent | silent ✓ |
+| `met:true` + `sentinel:true` decoy | silent | silent ✓ |
+| prose merely mentioning `goal_status` | silent | silent ✓ |
+| achieved but **no** open placeholder | silent | silent ✓ |
+
+The nudge payload on a real achievement is
+`{"decision":"block","reason":"A /goal just completed … invoke the
+wgl-session-finalize skill now … in careful posture … surface a brief offer …
+Branch on this session's current posture."}` — confirming the hook emits the
+mode-neutral finalize nudge; the yolo-auto / careful-offer branch is the agent's
+documented response to that reason (`finalize-core.md`), not the hook's job.
+
+**Conclusion:** finalize-on-goal is installed (0.15.0), active this session, and
+behaves correctly end-to-end. All three sub-claims of the stored goal are
+verified live. No code changes were needed — this was a verification session.
+
+## Session arc (turn-by-turn)
+
+1. Gate resolved `/goal next` → read `Next /goal:` from project memory → adopted
+   "re-install 0.15.0 + verify finalize-on-goal live" as the objective →
+   classified **coding** → `wgl-session-coding-init`.
+2. Parallel session-start survey: computed PST start, confirmed clean pushed
+   `main` baseline, listed installed cache versions → **noticed 0.15.0 cache dir
+   present and the init skill itself loaded from `…/0.15.0/…`** → re-install half
+   already satisfied.
+3. Claimed session **0017** (dry-run peek showed nothing in flight → atomic push).
+4. Read the *installed* `hooks/hooks.json` + `finalize-on-goal` script → confirmed
+   Stop-hook registration and canonical detection/gating logic.
+5. Wrote `/tmp/wgl-finalize-on-goal-livetest.sh` driving the installed hook bytes
+   with crafted Stop payloads, isolated via `WGL_TRANSCRIPTS_DIR` → **6/6 PASS**
+   (nudge on achievement; silent on sentinel re-fire, `met:false`, `sentinel:true`,
+   prose, and no-placeholder). One attempt to dump the exact block-reason was
+   operator-denied (a complex one-liner); not needed — the reason text is in the
+   hook source and the block decision was already confirmed.
+6. Recorded findings in this transcript → entered finalize via the **yolo-auto
+   branch** of the finalize-on-goal policy (goal complete, autonomous posture).
+7. Finalize: clean baseline (no git ops), updated memory + `MEMORY.md` (next
+   `/goal` = flotilla-only-provisioning alignment; re-install gotcha resolved),
+   published this transcript.
+
+## Deferred decisions
+
+_None — the only judgment call was classifying `/goal next` as a coding session
+(verification work warranting a transcript); no low-confidence calls otherwise._
