+## Launch prompt
+
+Began as a handbook Q&A (gate lifted via `wgl-session-dev-handbook`): the operator
+shared a comprehensive external "best engineering practices" playbook and asked
+where the standard stack stands against it, with emphasis on **per-build cost**
+and **time to prod**. Mid-session it turned into a **capture** session ("Let's
+capture the observability baseline as a gitea issue"), which claimed this
+transcript ID 0006.
+
+## Pre-state
+
+- Launched from the `~/git` parent; engineering repo on the pre-existing branch
+  `docs/solution-design-pain-points-business-framing` (not `main`), clean vs.
+  upstream.
+- `engineering/app.json` had no `contains:["content"]` repo — no capture draft
+  home.
+
+## Arc (turn by turn)
+
+1. **Handbook comparison.** Read the handbook live (`engineering/README.md`, 990
+   lines) + the tier-1 digest. Produced a gap-map of the playbook vs. our practice
+   (Have / Partial / Missing / **Deliberately-deferred per §11**), framed around
+   the key reframe: the playbook targets a container/k8s/multi-engineer/high-traffic
+   org, while we are deliberately single-VM / SQLite / laptop-ops / staged (§8–§11).
+   Called out the two requested numbers — per-build cost and time-to-prod — for
+   today (Stage 1) vs. full-playbook adoption. Top *non-deferred* gap: observability.
+2. **Capture #25.** Operator chose the **engineering** tracker. Hit the
+   target-missing state (no content repo) and resolved it by registering the
+   engineering repo as its own `content` repo (one-line `app.json` edit;
+   working-tree-only, INV-8). Drafted `issues/observability-baseline.md`, sized it
+   `type/epic`, neutralized bare `#42` auto-links (would mislink on this tracker —
+   only 25 issues existed), and on approval filed **#25** (`type/epic`,
+   `priority/P1`).
+3. **Capture #26.** Operator: file an umbrella epic listing *all* recommendations
+   as Features, but don't file the Features. Drafted
+   `issues/engineering-practice-uplift.md`; filed **#26** (`type/epic`,
+   `priority/P2`) with a 7-item Feature checklist (observability=#25 done; test
+   layer; CI gates; repo-hygiene gates; DORA; conventional-commits [open decision];
+   Stage-2 build-out [trigger-gated]) and the §11-deferred items written as
+   conscious non-goals.
+4. **Plugin fix (cross-repo, operator-directed).** Began a memory note of the
+   captured epics; operator stopped it — "no need to pollute the memory; they're
+   Gitea issues I can reference later" — and directed: make the finalize skill not
+   do this for capture. Edited the plugin **source** (`wgl-session-finalize`
+   `SKILL.md` capture addendum overrides core Step 5 for capture results), bumped
+   `0.27.0 → 0.27.1`, branch `fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory` pushed; PR left for
+   the operator to open/merge + re-install (plugin install is operator-owned).
+5. **Finalize (capture, tracked-lite).** No spec/plan artifact. **No memory
+   write** (per the just-shipped rule). Transcript published.
+
+## Cut state
+
+- **Filed:** engineering #25 (observability baseline epic) + #26 (practice-uplift
+  umbrella epic).
+- **Uncommitted in engineering working tree** (Author's to commit/publish or
+  discard — INV-8): `app.json` (content-role edit), `issues/observability-baseline.md`,
+  `issues/engineering-practice-uplift.md`. Repo still on the pre-existing docs branch.
+- **Plugin:** branch `fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory` pushed (v0.27.1); PR/merge/
+  install pending operator.
+
+## Deferred decisions
+
+- Sized observability as `type/epic` (vs. a single `type/feature` with a slice
+  checklist) — judgment call; offered the resize, operator accepted epic.
+- Registered the engineering repo as its own `content` repo via an `app.json`
+  edit (autonomous, reversible, the skill's prescribed target-missing fix) rather
+  than asking first.
+- Umbrella epic priority set `P2` (the urgent slice is carved out as P1/#25) — a
+  best-effort provisional call the operator can bump.
+- Shipped the plugin fix as branch+PR and **left merge/install to the operator**
+  rather than auto-merging, since the plugin's install step is operator-owned by
+  policy.
+
+## Operator plate
+
+- Open + merge the plugin PR (`fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory`, v0.27.1), then
+  `/plugin marketplace update` + `/plugin install` to pick it up.
+- Decide whether to commit/publish the uncommitted engineering capture drafts +
+  `app.json` content-role edit (and onto which branch — currently the docs branch).
+
+## Next-session prompt
+
+```
+/wgl-capture file the next Feature from engineering epic #26 — suggested order: test layer (Tier-1 Docker integration + thin Playwright e2e, §10.3) → CI quality gates (lint/format/type-check as required checks); link each with Parent: #26
