+## Launch prompt
+
+```
+Patchwatch Phase 2 — sub-project A (Capture), in flotilla-core.
+
+The FOUNDATION of the Patchwatch Phase-2 build order (A → B → sweep → C); B's
+session-start notice and the wgl-remediate skill (both shipped in the plugin) have
+nothing to act on until A files findings as Gitea issues.
+
+Scope per the design (docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-07-patchwatch-phase2-design.md
+§4.1/§5): add gitea issue create/list/close/label support; a new
+`flotilla-core patchwatch sync <deployment>` reconcile verb (dedup on
+(layer,package,advisory), route to the lockfile-owning repo, accumulate
+affected-deployments, self-heal/auto-close); a bot token with issues:write;
+SPEC.md §12.x "Patchwatch Phase 2" written FIRST; tests against a faked Gitea API.
+
+Resumed via `/goal feedback` follow-on ("go for it") from the plugin session that
+shipped 0.23.0.
+
+```
+
+## Deferred decisions
+
+_Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls the driver made and would have
+liked operator input on. Appended as the session runs; surfaced at
+finalize. Empty if none._
