## Plan (final)
- [x] Read SPEC/ROADMAP/SESSION-PROTOCOL; claim session ID (0061).
- [x] Map the deploy substrate (flotilla-core deploy.py phases 28).
- [x] Reconcile flotilla-core reality vs the launch prompt (Arc 1).
- [x] Build `provision-vm` + `scaffold-gitea-repos` skills (Arc 2).
- [x] Dogfood: scaffold-gcp-project → VM → provision → deploy → green /api/health.
- [x] Fix the 5 skill bugs the dogfood surfaced (Arcs 4, 6, 7).
- [x] "private by default" convention (guide §5.5) per operator directive.
- [x] Update SPEC §2/§5.1/§5.3 + flotilla-core derive_names + tests (edge scheme).
- [x] Close Slice 3 in ROADMAP; commit + push branches; deliver PR compare URLs.
- [x] Finalize + publish this transcript.

## Pre-session state
- launch-app SPEC v0.0.2; Slices 12 closed. Skills: `scaffold-gcp-project` (§6.5),
`define-deployment` (§6.6). `wiggle-snip` built + tested, NOT a git repo, with a
`deployment.toml` that validated 5 PASS + 1 WARN (gcloud config absent).
- gcloud active on-disk pointer `benstull-infra` — left untouched all session
(every gcloud call pinned `CLOUDSDK_ACTIVE_CONFIG_NAME` per-process).
---
## Turn-by-turn arc
### Arc 1 — flotilla-core reality vs the launch prompt
Launch prompt claimed "flotilla-core v0.3.0 on main, tagged, 371 tests" with the
scaffold/validate verbs. **Reality (SPEC §4.1 read-the-world):** `main` = `333e0ff`
**v0.2.0 (per-PR preview environments)**, no scaffold/validate. The Slice-2 work is
on branch **`slice2-schema-validate`** (worktree `~/projects/wiggleverse/flotilla-core-slice2`),
rebased on the preview-env main, **not merged, not tagged**. This session used the
slice2 worktree's CLI and never touched the flotilla-core main checkout (the parallel
preview-environments line owns it).
### Arc 2 — Build the two skills
Studied `deploy.py` to pin exactly what phases 28 expect on the VM. Built under
`launch-app/skills/`: `provision-vm/` (SKILL.md + provision-runtime.sh +
read-deployment-params.py) and `scaffold-gitea-repos/` (SKILL.md + init-and-push.sh).
Both shell assets `bash -n` clean; param reader round-trips the toml. (Initial
provision-runtime used an SSH deploy key for private clones — later abandoned, Arc 6.)
### Arc 3 — GCP foundation for wiggle-snip
Operator chose **full live bring-up**, **new** billing account. Drove
scaffold-gcp-project: project `wiggle-snip` under org wiggleverse.org; dedicated
`wiggle-snip` profile `--no-activate` (active pointer verified unchanged); billing
linked (`01789B-…`); APIs enabled; ADC quota pinned to wiggle-snip. **Validate flipped
to 6/6 PASS.** (ADC quota-project is global — flagged: next OHM session must re-pin.)
### Arc 4 — VM + firewall + runtime (bugs #1#3)
Static IP 35.255.99.91; VM `wiggle-snip-ppe` (e2-micro, debian-12, shielded) RUNNING.
IAP-only firewall. **Bug #1:** default VPC `default-allow-ssh` (:22 ← 0.0.0.0/0)
defeats IAP-only (rules union) → delete default-allow-ssh/rdp. IAP SSH verified.
provision-runtime installed node 18.20.4 / npm 9.2.0 / python 3.11.2. **Bug #2:**
clone temp `${INSTALL_DIR}.clone` under root-owned /opt not writable by the service
user → root pre-creates it user-owned. **Bug #3:** Gitea has an AAAA record, VM has
no IPv6 route → SSH clone "Network is unreachable" → forced IPv4 (later mooted by Arc 6).
### Arc 5 — Gitea repo + the One-Name fork
No GITEA_TOKEN in env; org push-to-create disabled. Operator created the repo as
**`wiggleverse/wiggleverse-wiggle-snip-app`** (the `<org>-<product>-app` convention),
not `wiggle-snip`. **One-Name divergence (§3.3).** Operator chose: keep
deployment/project/VM = `wiggle-snip`, repoint `[app].repo`. Logged as Slice-5 backlog.
Pushed main + tag `v0.1.0` over SSH (as ben.stull). Repo kept **private** (operator).
### Arc 6 — Private path: SSH deploy keys don't work behind Cloudflare (bug #4)
First tried the private path with an on-VM SSH deploy key (operator registered the
public half). Clone failed: **the VM cannot reach git.wiggleverse.org:2222** — it
resolves the Cloudflare IP, which only forwards HTTP/S, not SSH (the operator's laptop
reaches :2222 via a non-CF path). HTTPS :443 works fine. **Pivot:** clone + fetch over
HTTPS with a git **credential helper that fetches the read token from Secret Manager
via the VM's metadata service account** — no token ever through the session, no SSH,
**no deploy key at all** (one read token serves both flotilla's pin fetch and the VM
clone). Required: VM `cloud-platform` scope (stop/set-scopes/start) + SA
`secretmanager.secretAccessor` on the secret. Operator created the read-only Gitea
token → I created the empty SM secret + IAM, operator piped the value
(`gcloud secrets versions add … --data-file=-`, pbpaste). Also adopted **"repos are
private by default"** (guide §5.5 new) per operator directive — public is now an
explicit opt-out. ADC needed `gcloud auth application-default login` (operator) for the
laptop-side pin read. HTTPS clone then succeeded.
### Arc 7 — Edge TLS: 3-label host has no Cloudflare cert (bug #5) + nginx :80/:443
Deploy #1 (deploys.id=1) reached phase 8 then **failed: SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE**.
Cause: `ppe.wiggle-snip.wiggleverse.org` is a **3-label host**, and **Cloudflare
Universal SSL only covers the apex + `*.<zone>`** — no edge cert → handshake fails.
**Fix (operator-confirmed):** switch the scheme to **`<name>-ppe.<base>`** (single
label, covered by `*.wiggleverse.org`) across SPEC §2/§5.1/§5.3, flotilla-core
`derive_names` + tests (371 green), `define-deployment`, and wiggle-snip's record;
re-provisioned nginx; operator added the new DNS A record. Then a **301 loop**:
Cloudflare was hitting origin :80 (Flexible/uncached) → my nginx `:80→:443` redirect
looped. **Fix:** nginx now **serves the app on both :80 and :443** (origin ports are
firewalled to Cloudflare only; CF handles the visitor http→https upgrade) — works in
Cloudflare Full *or* Flexible. Edge then returned `{"status":"ok","version":"0.1.0"}` 200.
### Arc 8 — Green deploy + idempotency + closeout
`flotilla-core deploy wiggle-snip`: **all 9 phases ok → deployed v0.1.0
(deploys.id=2)**, phase-8 verify 2.4s. Re-running provision is a no-op (service user
already exists / packages present / repo already cloned). Committed + pushed:
flotilla-core `slice2-schema-validate` (edge fix), engineering
`slice3-provision-vm-scaffold-gitea` (skills + SPEC + guide §5.5 + ROADMAP),
wiggle-snip `main` (toml). PRs left for the operator (no Gitea token in session).

## §19.2 / Slice-5 candidates surfaced
1. **One-Name vs the `<org>-<product>-app` repo convention (§3.3)** — repo name and
deployment/One-Name diverge; decide whether §3.3 blesses it (OHM-grandfathered shape)
or enforces equality.
2. **ADC quota-project is global** — scaffold-gcp-project's `set-quota-project` re-points
the shared ADC per app; next OHM session must re-pin. Needs a per-process mechanism or
a documented re-pin.
3. **Standard-stack run command not in the §5.1 schema** — provision assumes
`uvicorn app.main:app` :8001; add optional `[vm].entrypoint`/`port` if a 2nd app diverges.
4. **scaffold-gitea-repos needs a token** to create org repos (org push-create disabled);
the dogfood created the repo by hand.
5. **`APP_URL` overlay key** emitted but unused by wiggle-snip (Slice-2 carry-over).
---
## What lands on the operator's plate
1. **Open two PRs** (no Gitea token in session):
- engineering: https://git.wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/engineering/compare/main...slice3-provision-vm-scaffold-gitea
- flotilla-core: https://git.wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/flotilla-core/compare/main...slice2-schema-validate
2. **Optional cleanup:** delete the now-unused read-only deploy key on
wiggleverse-wiggle-snip-app, and the old `ppe.wiggle-snip` DNS record if one was added.
3. **Re-pin ADC quota project** before the next OHM secret operation
(`gcloud auth application-default set-quota-project wiggleverse-ohm`).
4. wiggle-snip pre-prod is live + billable — tear down at Slice 5 or when done.

## Prompt the operator can paste into the next Claude Code session
```
launch-app Slice 4 — orchestrator + design-phase skills (SPEC §3, §4, §6.0–§6.4).
Reserve your own session ID first (claim-session-id.sh).
State (after Slice 3 / session 0061):
- Slices 13 DONE. All four phase skills exist under
~/projects/wiggleverse/engineering/launch-app/skills/: scaffold-gcp-project (§6.5),
define-deployment (§6.6), provision-vm (§6.7), scaffold-gitea-repos (§6.8).
- flotilla-core Slice-2 work + the session-0061 edge-host fix is on branch
slice2-schema-validate (worktree ~/projects/wiggleverse/flotilla-core-slice2, 371
tests green, pushed to origin, NOT merged/tagged). Engineering Slice-3 work is on
branch slice3-provision-vm-scaffold-gitea (pushed, PR pending). Open both PRs.
- wiggle-snip is LIVE pre-prod: repo wiggleverse/wiggleverse-wiggle-snip-app (private),
VM wiggle-snip-ppe (project wiggle-snip, IP 35.255.99.91), deployed v0.1.0, green at
https://wiggle-snip-ppe.wiggleverse.org/api/health.
Task: build the launch-app orchestrator (state from on-disk artifacts §4.1, the §4.2
gates, §4.3 "teach the map", §6.0 intake) + the design-phase skills (scaffold-prototype,
write-spec, write-roadmap, scaffold-standard-stack), and extend scaffold-gcp-project to
confirm-not-assume the stack. Tests: orchestrator resumes from each partial state; gates
refuse out-of-order phases.
Conventions to honor (hardened in Slice 3):
- Repos PRIVATE by default (guide §5.5); VM clones over HTTPS with a read token from
Secret Manager via a git credential helper (NO SSH deploy keys — Cloudflare-proxied
Gitea won't pass SSH :2222 to a GCE VM).
- Edge host is <name>-ppe.<base> (single label — Cloudflare Universal SSL doesn't cover
3-label hosts). nginx serves :80+:443 (no hard redirect).
- gcloud isolation: CLOUDSDK_ACTIVE_CONFIG_NAME per-process; never touch the active
pointer. Hard secrets rule: pbpaste/stdin gestures only, never ask for bytes.
- Parallel preview-environments line owns flotilla-core main + feat/preview-environments;
only ever touch the slice2 worktree.
Slice-5 backlog: One-Name-vs-repo-convention (§3.3); global ADC quota-project re-pin;
[vm].entrypoint/port schema gap; scaffold-gitea-repos org-repo-create token; unused
APP_URL overlay key. wiggle-snip pre-prod is live + billable — tear down at Slice 5.
Bump SPEC to v0.0.3 when next touched (its §2/§5.1/§5.3 text + guide §5.5 changed).

## Launch prompt
```
launch-app Slice 3 — provision-vm + scaffold-gitea-repos (SPEC §2, §6.7, §6.8)
State (after Slice 2 / session 0060, 2026-06-01):
- launch-app SPEC is v0.0.2; ROADMAP Slice 2 closed.
- Skills exist: scaffold-gcp-project (§6.5), define-deployment (§6.6).
- flotilla-core v0.3.0 on wiggleverse/flotilla-core main (private, tagged v0.3.0):
deployment scaffold|validate|import + gcloud.describe_config, 371 tests green.
Sits atop a parallel preview-environments line (still active).
- ohm-rfc-app-flotilla main is the v1.8.0 thin shim, dep pinned flotilla-core>=0.3.0.
- wiggle-snip (~/projects/wiggleverse/wiggle-snip, NOT a git repo) has a validated
deployment.toml. The §5.3 validate gate is built + proven.
Task:
1. Run scaffold-gcp-project for wiggle-snip FIRST (clears the dogfood WARN).
2. Build provision-vm (§6.7): micro VM (IAP-only, no public :22), runtime install
(Python, Node, nginx, systemd unit), TLS via Cloudflare. Idempotent. Gates on
flotilla-core deployment validate.
3. Build scaffold-gitea-repos (§6.8): repo set + bot user/token; record whether
pre-prod uses its own Gitea or shares.
4. Proof: fresh micro VM up, /api/health reachable through nginx after a hand-run
deploy, re-running the skill is a no-op.
Constraints: pre-prod single env (NO slots/ramp/promote/rollback); hard secrets
rule (stdin-piped secret set only); gcloud isolation (CLOUDSDK_ACTIVE_CONFIG_NAME
per-process); parallel preview-environments line shares flotilla-core (worktree if
touched); spec-driven (cite section numbers); branch + PR (Gitea, no gh CLI).
```

## Plan
- [x] Read SPEC §2/§6.7/§6.8, ROADMAP Slice 3, SESSION-PROTOCOL; claim session ID (0061).
- [x] Map exactly what the deploy substrate must be (flotilla-core deploy.py phases 28).
- [x] Reconcile flotilla-core reality vs the launch prompt (see Arc 1 — prompt was off).
- [x] Build `provision-vm` skill (SKILL.md + provision-runtime.sh + read-deployment-params.py).
- [x] Build `scaffold-gitea-repos` skill (SKILL.md + init-and-push.sh).
- [x] Dogfood step 1: `scaffold-gcp-project` for wiggle-snip → validate WARN→PASS (6/6 PASS).
- [ ] Operator gestures: new billing account; Gitea repo push; Cloudflare DNS token.
- [ ] Dogfood: APIs → VM → provision-runtime → deploy → green /api/health → prove no-op re-run.
- [ ] Update launch-app ROADMAP (close Slice 3) + SPEC if needed; branch + Gitea PR.
- [ ] Finalize + publish this transcript (handoff prompt to operator first).
---
## Pre-session state
- launch-app SPEC v0.0.2; ROADMAP Slice 1 + 2 closed. Skills present:
`scaffold-gcp-project` (§6.5), `define-deployment` (§6.6).
- `wiggle-snip` (`~/projects/wiggleverse/wiggle-snip`) is built + tested, NOT a git
repo, with a `deployment.toml` that validated 5 PASS + 1 WARN (gcloud config absent).
- gcloud active on-disk pointer: `benstull-infra` (left untouched all session).
---
## Turn-by-turn arc
### Arc 1 — flotilla-core reality vs the launch prompt
The launch prompt said "flotilla-core v0.3.0 on main, tagged v0.3.0, 371 tests" with
the `deployment scaffold|validate|import` verbs. **The real world (SPEC §4.1 — read
the world, don't trust a checkbox) is different and the prompt is advisory:**
- `main` = `333e0ff` **v0.2.0 (per-PR preview environments, SPEC §15)** — pushed to
`origin/main`. It does **not** carry the scaffold/validate verbs.
- The Slice-2 work lives on branch **`slice2-schema-validate`** (`9b15b2a`,
"flotilla-core v0.3.0: deployment.toml scaffold + fail-closed validate") in the
isolated worktree `~/projects/wiggleverse/flotilla-core-slice2`, **rebased on top
of** the preview-environments `main`, pushed to `origin/slice2-schema-validate`.
**Not merged to main, not tagged.**
So the "v0.3.0 on main, tagged" claim is ahead of reality — it's on the branch. This
session did **not** touch the flotilla-core checkout (the parallel preview-environments
line owns `main`); it only *used* the slice2 worktree's CLI for the validate gate.
### Arc 2 — Build the two skills
Studied `flotilla-core/deploy.py` to pin down exactly what the 9-phase deploy expects
to find on the VM (phases 28): install dir is a git clone owned by the service user;
`backend/.venv`; node/npm/git; a systemd unit; `https://<domain>/api/health` through
nginx. The skills lay **exactly** that substrate, no more (the deploy itself fetches /
builds / writes .env / starts the unit).
Built under `~/projects/wiggleverse/engineering/launch-app/skills/`:
- **`provision-vm/`** — `SKILL.md` (gate→probe→ask→create VM→install→key→clone→
Cloudflare→explain), `assets/provision-runtime.sh` (idempotent on-VM installer:
service user, apt runtime, deploy key born-on-VM for private repos, clone, venv,
systemd unit, nginx + self-signed origin TLS), `assets/read-deployment-params.py`
(emits shell exports from the canonical toml — single source of truth, no bash
re-derivation). Handles public (anon HTTPS clone) and private (deploy-key SSH)
repos; `REPO_PRIVATE` derived from whether the record carries `gitea_read_secret_ref`.
IAP-only SSH firewall (:22 ← 35.235.240.0/20 only); :80/:443 ← Cloudflare ranges.
- **`scaffold-gitea-repos/`** — `SKILL.md` (share-vs-own Gitea recorded via
`gitea_host`; visibility + bot choice; create repo → push → tag `v<VERSION>`; bind
read credential / register deploy key — all operator-run, never asks for token
bytes), `assets/init-and-push.sh` (idempotent: create repo via API if missing,
`git init` + first commit, point origin, push, tag — token read from `$GITEA_TOKEN`,
never an arg).
Both shell assets pass `bash -n`; the param reader round-trips wiggle-snip's toml.
### Arc 3 — Dogfood step 1: GCP foundation for wiggle-snip
Operator chose **full live bring-up** on a **new** billing account. Drove
`scaffold-gcp-project` for wiggle-snip: project `wiggle-snip` under org
`wiggleverse.org`; dedicated `wiggle-snip` profile **`--no-activate`** (verified the
active pointer stayed `benstull-infra`); **6/6 PASS** validate (gcloud-project WARN
cleared). Operator created a new billing account → linked → APIs enabled
(compute/secretmanager/iap) → ADC quota pinned to wiggle-snip.
### Arc 4 — VM + firewall + runtime (3 skill bugs found by dogfooding)
- Static IP `35.255.99.91`; VM `wiggle-snip-ppe` (e2-micro, debian-12, shielded) RUNNING.
- Firewall: IAP-only :22 (35.235.240.0/20), :80/:443 from Cloudflare ranges.
**Skill bug #1:** the default VPC ships `default-allow-ssh` (:22 from 0.0.0.0/0);
firewall rules union, so IAP-only wasn't structural until I deleted
default-allow-ssh + default-allow-rdp. Patched provision-vm Step 3 (3d).
- IAP SSH verified. provision-runtime installed the OS runtime (node 18.20.4, npm
9.2.0, python 3.11.2). **Skill bug #2:** clone temp dir `${INSTALL_DIR}.clone`
under root-owned /opt couldn't be created by the service user — now root
pre-creates it user-owned. **Skill bug #3:** the Gitea host has an AAAA record
but the VM has no IPv6 route → SSH clone died "Network is unreachable"; forced
IPv4 (`AddressFamily inet` / `ssh -4` / `ssh-keyscan -4`).
### Arc 5 — Gitea repo + the One-Name fork
- No GITEA_TOKEN in env; org push-to-create disabled. Operator created the repo —
as `wiggleverse/wiggleverse-wiggle-snip-app` (the `<org>-<product>-app`
convention), NOT `wiggle-snip`. **One-Name divergence (§3.3).** Operator chose:
keep deployment/project/VM = `wiggle-snip`, repoint `[app].repo` at the long
name. Logged as SPEC §3.3 friction (Wiggleverse repo convention vs
repo-name==One-Name). Pushed main + tag `v0.1.0` over SSH (as ben.stull).
- Repo is **private** (operator's choice). Added `gitea_read_secret_ref =
wiggle-snip/wiggle-snip-gitea-read-token` to the toml; re-validated (6/6);
re-imported. provision (private path) generated the VM deploy key
(`ssh-ed25519 …mYXY0 wiggle-snip-ppe-deploy`), pinned to the IPv4 fix.
---
## What lands on the operator's plate (current)
1. **Register the VM deploy key** (read-only) on wiggleverse-wiggle-snip-app — for
the clone.
2. **Store the read token**: `gcloud secrets create wiggle-snip-gitea-read-token`
(stdin) — for flotilla's pin fetch. (NOT `flotilla secret set` — §5.1 keeps it
out of the app runtime env.)
3. **Cloudflare DNS** A `ppe.wiggle-snip.wiggleverse.org` → `35.255.99.91`, proxied,
SSL Full — before phase 8 can go green.
