No `SESSION-0019.0` or `SESSION-0020.0` transcript present in +`~/git/ohm-infra/` at session open; either those sessions are +operator-internal (e.g. a release-cut session that didn't earn its +own transcript) or their transcripts haven't been written yet. This +session does not investigate — it accepts the operator-asserted +session ID of `21` and runs with it. If 0019.0 and 0020.0 want +transcripts they can be written backfilled later; this session's +chronology is independent. + +--- + +## Turn-by-turn arc + +### Arc 1 — Capture #31 (Comprehensive UX polish pass) + +Operator opened the session with a screenshot of OHM's home view +(welcome panel + catalog of RFCs in the left sidebar) and the verbatim +brief: **"Let's add another item to the roadmap. UX...let's make all +of the ux a lot more polished and check the spacing. This general +feeling of this is pretty clunky and prototypey"**. + +Read `ROADMAP.md` in two chunks (33709 tokens, capped per-page; +needed offset=1044 to see through to the version-target table). +Confirmed the file's structure: numbered items in narrative form, +followed by a single-row-per-item version-targets table, followed by +phase/parallelization/operating-instructions appendices. New items +go in the "Items added 2026-05-28 (parallel to the SMTP-hardening +session)" subsection — already at #24..#30 (with #30 just shipped in +v0.19.0 + v0.20.0 per the prior session). + +Drafted #31 in the same shape as #24..#30: framing, scope +(itemized surface-by-surface — spacing, type, color, components, +empty/loading/error, responsive, motion, iconography, dark-mode-or- +not), process flow (inventory → tokens → sweep → verify), open +questions (component library decision, scope-bound to one slice if +inventory overflows), and explicit coordination with #24 / #25 (both +fold in trivially). Added the row to the version-target table at the +bottom. + +Framed deliberately as a **re-skin + re-space, not a redesign** — +this preserves the merge-friendliness with everything in flight on +the collaboration / auth / analytics tracks. The point of saying +that explicitly is to head off the natural scope creep of "while we +were in there, we also rewrote the inbox surface" — that work is +#25, not #31. + +No commit yet; held until both items were in the file. + +### Arc 2 — Capture #32 (Session/transcript page polish) + +Operator's second screenshot: `/docs/sessions/0002` — the new +session-history surface from #30 Phase 1+2. Showed the empty-ish +"1 transcript in this session. Select one from the navigation on the +left." placeholder. Operator brief, verbatim: **"The root of a +session can jsut be the transcript itself. There should also be a +link to the git repo for the transcript in teh transcript so people +can get to the raw code. I guess that could be in a header above the +transcript body. Maybe start date/time, end date/time, tl;dr, and +link to the transcript on git"**. + +Two coupled changes captured: + +1. **Collapse single-transcript session roots.** For the common + case (one transcript per session — true for 0001..0013, 0017 + excepted), the intermediate "select one" page is friction. Render + the transcript inline at the session-root URL (or 301 — decision + deferred to session-time). For multi-transcript sessions (0013 + has 4, 0014 has 2, 0017 has 3), default to showing the `.0` + driver inline with the others listed alongside, rather than the + empty placeholder. +2. **Transcript header.** Start / End (parsed from filename), + Duration (derived), TL;DR (source TBD — recommended `sessions.json` + `tldr` field over transcript-frontmatter), and "View on gitea" + link to the canonical raw transcript URL. Operator-readable + metadata above the body, plus an explicit affordance for readers + to pull the source / propose corrections. + +Drafted #32 with the same shape as #31: scope, layout shape, open +questions (single-transcript collapse strategy, TL;DR source, +backfill, multi-transcript session shape, gitea link format), and a +dependencies block noting #30 already shipped. + +The TL;DR-source question got a bit of attention in the draft — +captured both options (manifest field vs. transcript frontmatter) +with a recommendation for manifest because it's simpler and the +transcript bodies stay unchanged. The publish-transcript.sh script +can prompt for a TL;DR at publish time and commit `sessions.json` in +the same shape. Folded into the open-questions block so the +implementing session settles it deliberately rather than +defaulting accidentally. + +Added the table row. Reported both items as added and explicitly +flagged that nothing was committed yet, in case the operator wanted +to adjust before landing. + +### Arc 3 — Commit + push + +Operator said: **"ok, commit the roadmap and push"**. + +Ran the three parallel context-gathers (`git status`, `git diff +ROADMAP.md`, `git log --oneline -10`) on `ohm-rfc` — diff confirmed +the two items + table row were the only changes; recent commits +showed the repo's convention for roadmap-add commits (`ROADMAP: ++#XX..#YY (...)` from `74a3e12`). + +Committed with the conventional shape: + +``` +ROADMAP: +#31..#32 (UX polish pass + session-page polish) +``` + +Pushed cleanly: `c9a4755..210c024 main -> main` to +`ssh://git.wiggleverse.org:2222/ben/ohm-rfc.git`. + +Side-note from git: "Your name and email address were configured +automatically based on your username and hostname" — `Ben Stull +`. Not an error; just git telling the operator +their local user.email isn't explicitly set. Not in this session's +scope; flagged here for awareness only. + +### Arc 4 — Cut transcript (this arc) + +Operator said: **"Your session ID is 21. Cut a transcript and we'll +be done"**. Read `~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-PROTOCOL.md` to confirm the +shape, listed existing transcripts to confirm the next-session ID +position (operator-asserted as 21; absence of 0019/0020 locally +acknowledged in pre-state), computed start/end bracket, wrote this +file, will publish via `scripts/publish-transcript.sh` after +delivering the handoff prompt. + +--- + +## Cut state (end of session) + +| | | +| --- | --- | +| ohm-rfc | `210c024` — `ROADMAP: +#31..#32` | +| ohm-rfc-app-flotilla | unchanged (`c8804a6`); session anchored here | +| rfc-app | unchanged (no release this session) | +| OHM live | unchanged — running v0.20.0 | +| ohm-rfc pin | `0.20.0` — unchanged | + +| Wave / ledger | Status | +| --- | --- | +| #31 UX polish pass | ✅ captured in ROADMAP, not yet picked up | +| #32 Session/transcript page polish | ✅ captured in ROADMAP, not yet picked up | + +No releases, no deploys, no flotilla gestures, no secret material. +Pure roadmap-capture session. + +--- + +## §19.2 candidates surfaced + +None this session. The work was capture-only — the items themselves +will surface §19.2 candidates when an implementing session picks +them up, but this session didn't run into framework deferrals +firsthand. + +One soft observation worth carrying forward: **#31's "tokens phase" +(establishing a spacing/type/color/motion vocabulary as CSS custom +properties or Tailwind theme tokens)** could itself become a small +§19.2 candidate for `rfc-app` — a shared design-token layer that +future deployments inherit. Not surfaced as a hard candidate +because the polish session may end up taking a simpler "polish the +existing approach without extracting" route; the framework +extraction would only be the right move if #31's inventory turns up +genuine cross-component reuse. Flagged here so the polish session +considers it deliberately rather than defaulting to in-component +styles. + +--- + +## What lands on the operator's plate + +Nothing actionable from this session. Both items are queued; no +operator-only gestures pending (no secrets to set, no decisions +deferred, no gitea-admin moves). + +Forward-looking, the items themselves do land operator decisions on +their respective implementing sessions: + +- **#31 implementing session**: a few small decisions in the + inventory + tokens phase that benefit from operator input — + (a) headless-component-library question (Radix vs. hand-rolled), + (b) dark-mode in scope or follow-up, (c) scope-bound (single + slice vs. full sweep) once the inventory reveals workload. +- **#32 implementing session**: TL;DR source (manifest vs. + frontmatter), single-transcript collapse strategy (inline vs. + 301), multi-transcript session shape (show `.0` inline + list vs. + stacked). The TL;DR backfill (writing one-to-three-sentence + summaries for the existing ~22 transcripts in `sessions.json`) + is operator homework whenever it suits — graceful degradation + means the surface ships without it, the per-transcript field + just doesn't render until populated. + +--- + +## Prompt the operator can paste into the next Claude Code session + +``` +You're the OHM driver for Session 0022.0. + +Previous session (0021.0) was a roadmap-capture session — added #31 +(comprehensive UX polish pass) and #32 (session/transcript page +polish) and pushed as `210c024` on ohm-rfc.

Operator-flagged. Re-skin + re-space (NOT + a redesign — preserve IA, routes, copy, feature shape). Phased + flow: inventory → tokens → sweep → verify. Decide at session + time: component library (Radix vs. hand-rolled), dark-mode in + scope or follow-up, scope-bound to single slice if inventory + overflows. Folds in #24 (Philosophy rename) and #25 (inbox icon + + UX cleanup) trivially. +- #32 — Session/transcript page polish. Small.
