The pin was "below" + v0.13.0 (cookie banner) and v0.14.0 (`/docs`) — those features + were integrated on rfc-app `main` but not currently deployed + to OHM. Any Wave-5 pin bump past `0.12.0` would pick up both + side-effect features; flagged in arc 1 + reconfirmed at the + arc 6 deploy. ROADMAP main was at `9654cbb` (post-Session-K + ROADMAP: #10 v0.12.0 shipped row). +- **OHM live**: serving `v0.12.0` per + `https://ohm.wiggleverse.org/api/health` returning + `{"version":"0.12.0","status":"ok"}`. `flotilla deploy log + ohm-rfc-app` showed last successful deploy as `deploys.id=18` + (v0.12.0, succeeded, 11:18 UTC) — the post-`TURNSTILE_REQUIRED=true` + re-deploy from Session K that put abuse defense fail-closed. +- **ohm-rfc-app-flotilla**: `main` at `65c0e55` (CLAUDE.md + secret-set gesture correction). No flotilla work expected in + Wave 5; none performed. +- **ohm-infra**: most recent transcript is Session K + (`SESSION-K-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T03-20--2026-05-28T03-55.md`). + Next letter is L (Session K = previous driver; Session J = the + parallel docs-feature / v0.14.0 session that ran during + Session I's wind-down). +- **Hard rule baked in mid-Session-K**: never EVER ask the operator + to paste secret bytes into the conversation. Stayed honored + through this session — the Amplitude key the operator pasted is + a public bundle-embedded value (same nature as + `VITE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY`), which CLAUDE.md explicitly carves + out as fine to receive in conversation. The driver did not ask + for any value; the operator volunteered the vendor's + installation prompt (which contained the key inline) + + confirmed it. Reconciliation between the bedtime prompt's + "wave-pauses on AMPLITUDE_API_KEY" framing and the actual + vendor-recommended overlay binding is documented as the + v0.15.0 CHANGELOG's "Caveat — overlay binding" section. + +--- + +## Turn-by-turn arc + +The session moves through nine arcs, in order. + +### Arc 1 — Reconnaissance + dispatch + +The driver read `~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-PROTOCOL.md` and +`/Users/benstull/projects/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.md` +end-to-end, verified pre-session ground truth (rfc-app `main` at +`b3f1b15`, OHM serves v0.12.0 at `deploys.id=18`, ohm-rfc pin at +`0.12.0`), and dispatched three subagents in a single message +with parallel `Agent` tool uses, `subagent_type: general-purpose`, +running in the background. Each subagent created its own +`git worktree add` in `/Users/benstull/git/rfc-app-` (the `Agent` tool's worktree isolation only covers the +flotilla CWD, not the rfc-app CWD subagents needed — Session K +lesson). Each prompt was self-contained: full roadmap text, +target version, reserved migration slot (018 for ν, 019 for ο, +none for ξ), descending-order CHANGELOG insertion point, hard +constraints (do NOT tag, do NOT touch the ohm-rfc pin, do NOT +run `flotilla deploy`, no force-push, no `--amend`, no secret +bytes, no `git config` edits), and a structured reporting brief. + +Worktree base discovered via `ls -la /Users/benstull/git/`. One +ground-truth correction caught early: `~/git/ohm-infra` is NOT a +git repo locally — it's a working directory the publish script +clones the remote `wiggleverse/ohm-session-history` into. Session +K's prompt phrased it correctly; the driver's first `cd +~/git/ohm-infra && git log` failed and surfaced the right model. + +### Arc 2 — Operator returns mid-session: Amplitude scope settled + +While the three subagents were running in the background, the +operator returned to the keyboard and surfaced the Amplitude +provisioning: + +1. "I provisioned an Amplitude instance." +2. The vendor's installation-wizard prompt (verbatim — it included + the API key inline as a literal string argument: + `amplitude.initAll('741709e30574cc8314b83b763f675c32', { + "analytics": { "autocapture": true }, "sessionReplay": + { "sampleRate": 1 } });` — and recommended the + `@amplitude/unified` package). +3. "I have the amplitude API key… can set that secret when we're + ready. Or, if it's not a secret and is really a public thing + that's in JavaScript, can provide it here." + +The driver settled three things in one response: + +- **Secret vs. public**: the Amplitude browser key is bundle- + embedded by design (visible in dev tools; vendor's own prompt + shows it as a literal string argument). Same nature as + `VITE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY` from v0.12.0, which is explicitly + public per CLAUDE.md. The right binding is `flotilla overlay + set`, not `flotilla secret set`. The roadmap row #13's "new + secret: AMPLITUDE_API_KEY" wording predated vendor + consultation; corrected at the v0.15.0 CHANGELOG + the + shipped-row update. +- **Scope change**: the vendor recommends `@amplitude/unified` + (analytics + session replay bundled) instead of the + `@amplitude/analytics-browser` the dispatch brief specified. + `sampleRate: 1` (100% session replay) is the vendor default + — meaningfully larger privacy footprint than events-only. The + driver surfaced three options to the operator via + AskUserQuestion: events only / events + replay 10% / events + + replay 100% (vendor default). The operator picked **events + + session replay @ 100% (vendor default)**. +- **In-flight subagent**: ξ was already running under the + pre-vendor brief; no `SendMessage` tool available in this + harness to redirect it; chosen path is "let ξ finish, driver + post-corrects on the branch" since the post-correction is + tight and mechanical (package swap, init-call rewrite, + CHANGELOG MUST-step rewrite). The wrapper structure, event + taxonomy, and consent integration ξ would produce were + brief-correct and would survive the post-correction + unchanged. + +### Arc 3 — Operator surfaces roadmap items #20, #21, #22 + +Across three messages while the subagents were running, the +operator added three new roadmap items: + +- **#20 Email deliverability** — "do whatever we can to prevent + invites from going to the spam folder." Captured during arc 5 + before any subagent had returned. Scope spelled out: DNS (SPF, + DKIM, DMARC, BIMI follow-up), SMTP-provider posture (verified + sender domain, warm-up), From / Reply-To hygiene (no + `noreply@`), rfc-app template hygiene (plain-text alternative, + `List-Unsubscribe` + `List-Unsubscribe-Post` per RFC 8058, + bounce handling), engagement signals, monitoring (mail-tester, + Postmaster Tools, DMARC `rua=`). Overlap with #18 (Secure SMTP + + Gitea webhook) flagged explicitly; likely shipped together. + Two-layer rule honored: rfc-app template hygiene is + framework-wide, DNS + SMTP-provider config + BIMI logo are + OHM-specific. Sequencing: don't block #12 / #16 on this; the + real-world inbox/spam data from those first invite blasts + informs the #20 sweep afterward. Committed to ohm-rfc at + `2072663`. +- **#21 Amplitude audit + standing instrumentation discipline** — + captured after the operator extended Amplitude scope in arc 2. + Two-part structure: Part A (deep audit of v0.15.0's taxonomy + + autocapture + replay quality once a week of real data is in) + + Part B (standing discipline: SPEC.md analytics chapter, + rfc-app CONTRIBUTING checklist, optional CI lint). + Subsequently extended with **Part C** after the operator said: + "ensure a new user in Amplitude is created when an invite is + sent and we have a user with the OHM user ID set on that + event"; "appropriate pattern for setting user properties on + login + clearing on logout"; "implement Amplitude best + practices from the very get-go". Part C captures the + user-identity lifecycle contract (setUserId + identify + properties on sign-in; setUserProperties on mid-session state + change; reset on sign-out; identify-BEFORE-track on invite- + claim so the Amplitude record is created with the OHM user_id + from the first event rather than as an anonymous device that + retroactively links). Part C explicitly names what "ships + inline in Session L" vs. what waits for the data-informed + audit. Committed to ohm-rfc at `f006d33` (Parts A + B), then + `1c88f71` (Part C added). +- **#22 Pro-analytics-consent copy on the privacy/cookies + opt-in** — captured later: "add language to the privacy / + cookies opt-in that asks people to consider allowing analytics + and we promise we won't share it externally — we're a + non-profit and will only use it to make the experience better + (if that language is legal)." Legal caveats spelled out in + the item itself: 501(c)(3) is **planned not granted** per the + project memory (copy MUST NOT claim "we are a 501(c)(3)" + today; defensible alternatives are "being formed as", "non- + commercial project", or neutral "operated by Wiggleverse Org" + with an explainer); "never shared externally" is literally + untrue because Amplitude IS an external service (defensible + framing is "don't sell or trade" + "Amplitude holds it on our + behalf"); purpose-limitation pledges are enforceable; GDPR / + CCPA caution about coerced consent; withdrawal must stay easy. + Drafting flow: operator drafts → counsel reviews → subagent + wires approved text into banner + `/privacy` + `/cookies` + (the wiring step is small and mechanical).

Consent gate +read at `frontend/src/lib/consent.js:91` (getConsent) and `:102` +(onConsentChange). One env-var-naming flag from ξ that the +post-correction also resolves: ξ used `VITE_AMPLITUDE_API_KEY` in +code (Vite prefix convention) but the brief specified +`AMPLITUDE_API_KEY` in the CHANGELOG MUST-step; the overlay- +binding correction made the env-var-naming inconsistency moot. + +Driver post-correction (on the same branch, as a follow-up commit +`6cfbf69` — no amend of pushed commits): +- Package: `npm uninstall @amplitude/analytics-browser && npm + install @amplitude/unified` (resolved to `^1.1.9`). +- Init call: `mod.init(KEY, undefined, { defaultTracking: false + }).promise` → `mod.initAll(KEY, { analytics: { autocapture: + true }, sessionReplay: { sampleRate: 1 } })` with a defensive + `if (ret && ret.promise) await ret.promise` for unified-build + variance. +- CHANGELOG MUST step: secret-set → `flotilla overlay set + ohm-rfc-app VITE_AMPLITUDE_API_KEY=`.

Notable: per-RFC roles are `contributor` (PR + discussion) +or `discussant` (discussion only); re-accept that would lower the +role is a no-op; the per-RFC gate falls through to the v0.6.0 +platform-granted contract when an RFC has no frontmatter owners +yet (super-draft pre-§13.1 claim); accept endpoint requires the +accepting user's email to match the invitee's +`invitee_email` case-insensitively; platform-grant decision stays +the admin's call (accepting a per-RFC invite while pending +surfaces on `/api/admin/users` as the `rfc_invitations` array per +user — informing, not deciding, the platform grant); email +dispatch reuses `EmailConfig.from_env()` + `_SENT` like +`email_otc.py`; send failure does NOT roll back the invite row +(owner has the token on the listing surface for an out-of-band +share); regex email validation (`^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+$`) instead of +pydantic `EmailStr` to avoid pulling in `email-validator`, +matching the v0.7.0 OTC body's shape. **ν did NOT touch +Admin.jsx directly** — the `/api/admin/users` response gained an +additive `rfc_invitations` array (forward-compat for the existing +UI), so the Admin.jsx-collision risk with ο that the bedtime +prompt flagged did not materialize. The conflict moved to +`backend/app/api_admin.py` (both ν and ο extended different +response fields + ο added new endpoints) — additive in different +scopes, hand-reconcilable. + +### Arc 6 — Integration, with #21 Part C wiring folded inline + +The driver squash-merged each branch into rfc-app `main` in +version order, hand-resolving conflicts and adding inline +Amplitude wiring per #21 Part C "ships inline in Session L": + +**v0.15.0 integration** — fast-forward squash from `b3f1b15` +(no conflicts: main was at ξ's base). Driver-side extensions +folded in BEFORE the release commit: + +- `analytics.js`: `identify(...)` signature extended to + `{ user_id, properties? }` — properties apply via a new + internal `applyProperties(props)` that builds an Amplitude + `Identify` event with `.set(k, v)` semantics by default and + `.setOnce(k, v)` semantics when the value is wrapped as + `['__setOnce__', v]` (the sentinel pattern). New public + `setUserProperties(properties)` API exposed the same + property-apply path for mid-session state changes. + `anonymize()` now clears `_pendingProperties` too so a + fresh sign-in doesn't carry-over the previous user's + property cache. +- `App.jsx`: identify call extended to pass a viewer-derived + property bag — `role` / `permission_state` / `passcode_set` / + `device_trusted` (mutable `.set()`), `first_sign_in_at` / + `account_created_at` (immutable `.setOnce()`).

"Prompt for next session pls?" + "and update transcript" — + straightforward; the next-session prompt was already at the + bottom of the transcript file, and the driver surfaced it as + a copy-pasteable block in the conversation. +2. "Do the forked agents get transcripts captured? If not, let's + make sure they write their own transcripts out before + returning to the main session. They can be e.g. SESSION-L.1 + etc so it's clear they're a subsession." +3. "And the call to the agent should tell it what its transcript + ID is." +4. "And then update the transcript again — always do that as a + final step of a session." + +The first two are a protocol amendment. The current +SESSION-PROTOCOL.md §3 said "Driver-only writes" — subagents +returned report-backs that the driver folded into the single +session transcript. That shape captures the high-level shape of +each subagent's work but flattens the detail (mid-flight +decisions, dead ends, schema choices, micro-corrections, +test-suite outcomes). The amendment introduces subsession +transcripts: + +- **Naming**: `SESSION-.-TRANSCRIPT---.md` + (e.g. `SESSION-M.1-TRANSCRIPT-…md` for the first subagent in + Session M). Nested ordinals (`.1.1`) supported if a forked + subagent itself dispatches another. +- **Dispatch contract**: the driver pre-assigns subsession IDs + in dispatch order, names the exact filename + the + before-return write requirement + the transcript skeleton in + each subagent's prompt. +- **Driver responsibility**: main transcript references each + subsession by filename in the cut-state table; driver + publishes its own + each subsession's transcript via the + publish script.

Waiting on operator-drafted + counsel-reviewed copy. | + +--- + +## §19.2 candidates surfaced + +1. **`@amplitude/unified` bundle size + lazy import effectiveness** + — the unified package adds ~150 KB gzipped (vs. ~30 KB for + analytics-browser only); the wrapper's consent-gated `await + import('@amplitude/unified')` keeps it off the initial bundle + for users who haven't opted in, but the post-consent init + path hasn't been measured for jank. Part of #21 Part A's + bundle + performance check. +2. **Session-replay-specific consent category** — v0.13.0's + cookie banner has a single "analytics" toggle that gates both + events and full-DOM session recording. Recording has a + meaningfully larger privacy footprint than event counters; + splitting the consent into "analytics" vs "session replay" + categories is the cleaner shape. Captured in #21's Part A + + §19.2 follow-up. +3. **CHANGELOG `### Migration` block has no machine-readable + shape** — three releases in this session said "auto-applied + on deploy by the existing migration runner" with prose; + nothing pins which slot was claimed or surfaces a conflict + if two parallel features claim the same slot. The slot + coordination this session (016 reserved, 018 → #12, 019 → + #16) was done by the driver's brief, not enforced by tooling. + Worth a small lint or CI step. +4. **Bedtime prompt drift vs. live state** — the bedtime prompt + said "OHM serves v0.12.0" which was accurate, but did NOT + mention that v0.13.0 and v0.14.0 features (cookie banner, + `/docs`) were integrated on `main` but absent from the live + deploy because the pin had rolled back during Session K. + Any Wave-5 deploy was always going to bring those features + back; the driver flagged this in arc 1 + handled it + transparently, but a session-bootstrap script that emits + "what is on main but not deployed?" would catch this kind of + drift before it surprises a future driver. (This is adjacent + to the Session-I §19.2 candidate around deploy-snapshot + surfacing.) +5. **Vendor-prompt-as-truth pattern** — Amplitude's installation + wizard is an LLM-targeted prompt the vendor publishes for + their customers to drop into Cursor / Claude Code / etc. + When the operator pastes it mid-session, the prompt's + recommendations override the roadmap row's pre-vendor + guesses (package name, init shape, secret-vs-overlay + framing). For future vendor integrations (Stripe? Linear? + Sentry?), a discipline is worth naming: vendor-prompt + guidance is authoritative for SDK-shape decisions, but + integration points (consent, identity, PII) stay project- + sovereign. Could become a §19.2 candidate spec section. +6. **Subagent re-direction without `SendMessage`** — when the + operator's mid-session input invalidated ξ's pre-vendor + brief, the driver had no `SendMessage` tool available to + redirect the in-flight subagent. The chosen path + (let-finish, driver-post-corrects) worked here because the + correction was small and on a fresh-cut branch; in a larger + correction it would waste subagent work or force a + `TaskStop` + re-dispatch. Worth exploring whether the + harness can expose `SendMessage` for background agents, or + whether the dispatch pattern should pre-commit to "wait for + green-light from the operator" before doing the more + invasive work. + +--- + +## What lands on the operator's plate + +1. **Amplitude dashboard verification** — vendor's installation + prompt says "tell the user to start the application and fire + an event to verify it is being sent to Amplitude." The + deploy + `/api/health` verification confirmed the version is + on the box; the **Amplitude-side confirmation that events + actually arrive** is the operator's gesture (you have the + dashboard login; the driver does not). Easiest probe per the + v0.15.0 CHANGELOG: open `https://ohm.wiggleverse.org` in an + Incognito window, accept analytics on the cookie banner, + navigate to an RFC, watch the project's live event stream + + session-replay panel. Expected events: `Page Viewed` (path), + `RFC Viewed` (rfc_slug, rfc_id), the autocapture-generated + click events on header links. +2. **Send a real invite (#16) end-to-end** — the live + `/admin/users` surface now has the "Create user + invite" + affordance. A real-world deliverability test is part of the + #20 input data: send to a gmail address, a yahoo address, a + protonmail address, watch which ones land in inbox vs. spam. +3. **Send a real per-RFC invitation (#12)** — same shape; pick + an RFC, hit "Invitations" in the header strip, send to your + alternate email. +4. **Roadmap items #20 / #22 are operator-led**: + - **#20** needs DNS edits on `wiggleverse.org` (SPF / DKIM / + DMARC) and SMTP-provider dashboard work. Subagent can + inventory + propose; the executions are operator-only. + - **#22** needs operator-drafted copy + counsel review + before a subagent wires it. The roadmap item spells out + the legal caveats (501(c)(3) is planned-not-granted, "no + external sharing" honesty about Amplitude as the + processor, purpose-limitation enforceability, + GDPR/CCPA coerced-consent risk). +5. **§19.2-candidate #6 (subagent re-direction)** is a + harness-feature request worth raising with the Claude Code + team if it bites again. +6. **Item #1 VM rename + #17 inventory + #19 PR coordination** + stay operator territory. + +--- + +## Updated next-session prompt + +``` +You are the OHM roadmap driver. The previous session (Session L) +shipped rfc-app v0.15.0 (Amplitude Analytics + Session Replay, +#13, deploys.id=19), v0.16.0 (per-RFC owner invites, #12, +deploys.id=20), and v0.17.0 (admin-create user + invite email, +#16, deploys.id=21) to OHM. All of Wave 5 is closed. OHM serves +v0.17.0 with Amplitude analytics + session replay live (gated by +the v0.13.0 cookie banner), v0.13.0 cookie banner itself, v0.14.0 +/docs route, per-RFC owner invites, and admin-create user invites +all in production for the first time. Session L also folded #21 +Part C identity-lifecycle work inline across all three release +commits — identify({ user_id, properties }) + setUserProperties() ++ amplitude.reset on sign-out + identify-BEFORE-track on every +invite-claim path. + +Read `~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-PROTOCOL.md` and +`/Users/benstull/projects/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.md` +end-to-end. The next session letter is M. + +**New protocol amendment from Session L**: subagents write their +own transcripts (subsession files like +`SESSION-M.1-TRANSCRIPT---.md`) before returning to +the driver. The driver pre-assigns each subagent's subsession ID +in the dispatch prompt. The driver's own Session-M transcript +stays load-bearing for cross-subagent synthesis + cut-state, +with cross-references to each subsession. See +SESSION-PROTOCOL.md §5 for the binding form. The publish +script's filename validator was extended in Session L to accept +`SESSION-.-TRANSCRIPT-…md`. + +**Hard rule (Session K + Session L): never EVER ask the operator +to paste secret bytes into the conversation.** Session L +confirmed the corollary: public bundle-embedded values +(`VITE_AMPLITUDE_API_KEY`, `VITE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY`) are fine +to receive in conversation and set via `flotilla overlay set` — +but never the secret-half of a public/secret pair, and never +something whose nature you're unsure about. When in doubt, +default to the operator-run gesture (`pbpaste | flotilla secret +set …` for secrets; `flotilla overlay set DEPLOYMENT KEY=VALUE` +for non-secrets). + +Wave 6 candidates (per Session L's roadmap state): +- **#20 Email deliverability** (Track Ω + rfc-app template + hygiene) — high priority now that two invite paths ship and + the recipient's first contact with OHM is an email; spam + foldering is silent invite failure. Likely one combined ops + session for DNS + SMTP-provider posture + template hygiene + (note: overlaps with #18; ship together). +- **#22 Pro-analytics-consent copy on the privacy/cookies + opt-in** — small frontend-only rfc-app minor; depends on + operator-drafted + counsel-reviewed copy in hand. Legal + caveats spelled out in the item (501(c)(3) is planned, not + granted; "no external sharing" honesty about Amplitude as the + processor; purpose-limitation pledges are enforceable; + GDPR/CCPA coerced-consent risk; withdrawal must stay easy). +- **#21 Part A audit** — waits for ~1 week of real Amplitude + data, then a deep audit pass on taxonomy, autocapture quality + (DOM hygiene), session-replay masking, bundle/performance. + Ships as a rfc-app minor. +- **#21 Part B discipline** — SPEC.md analytics chapter + + rfc-app CONTRIBUTING checklist + optional CI lint. Can start + anytime; ships with #19's CONTRIBUTING PRs. +- **#18 Secure SMTP relay + Gitea webhook** — likely bundled + with #20. +- **#17 Repo naming + location alignment** — operator-led; a + subagent can inventory + propose, operator executes. +- **#19 CONTRIBUTING guides + transcript-linked onboarding** — + Track Ω docs PR; subagent can draft, operator approves + + merges. +- **#1 VM rename** — operator-led ops gesture. + +Dispatch shape (updated for Session M per the Session-L +amendment): +1. For each subagent, pre-assign a subsession ID: M.1, M.2, … +2. In the dispatch prompt, name the subsession ID + tell the + subagent it MUST write `~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-M.-TRANSCRIPT---.md` + BEFORE returning a report. +3. The subagent's transcript follows the same shape as a main + transcript (pre-state, arcs, cut-state, what-the-driver- + needs). The driver's report-back is a tight summary; the full + detail lives in the subagent's transcript file. +4. Each subagent creates its own `git worktree add` in + `/Users/benstull/git/rfc-app-…`, pushes a feature branch, + does NOT tag, does NOT touch the ohm-rfc pin, does NOT run + flotilla deploy. +5. Driver integrates serially. +6. Driver publishes its own transcript AND each subsession + transcript via `~/git/ohm-infra/scripts/publish-transcript.sh` + (the regex now accepts `SESSION-.-TRANSCRIPT-…md`). + +Session-L lessons to apply automatically (in addition to all of +Session K's): +- **Vendor prompts can override the roadmap's pre-vendor + guesses.** When the operator pastes a vendor installation + prompt mid-session (Amplitude this time; could be Stripe, + Linear, Sentry next time), the prompt's SDK-shape + recommendations are authoritative for the SDK choices — + package name, init signature, sample rates, etc. The roadmap + row's "new secret: FOO" or "uses bar library" wording was + best-effort pre-vendor and gets superseded. Integration + points (consent gates, identity lifecycle, PII discipline) + stay project-sovereign — the vendor doesn't get to decide + those. Document the override in the release CHANGELOG + + strike the ROADMAP row with the corrected framing. +- **No `SendMessage` available in this harness.** When the + operator's mid-session input invalidates an in-flight + subagent's brief, the choices are (a) let it finish and + driver-post-correct, (b) `TaskStop` and re-dispatch. Pick (a) + when the correction is small and on a fresh-cut branch; (b) + when the structural decisions would be wrong. The + driver-post-correction is a new commit on the same branch + (no amend, no force-push), pushed to both remotes. +- **Squash-merge integration with hand-resolved CHANGELOG** + works well for parallel-feature waves. Use a small Python + script for the conflict resolution when the block is large + (~150+ lines) — git's conflict markers are accurate but + manual editing is error-prone at scale. +- **#21 Part C is a standing pattern**: every new + identity-meaningful surface MUST call `identify({ user_id, + properties })` (not just `setUserId`), and any new claim/ + sign-in/invite-accept path MUST call identify BEFORE the + first track event so the Amplitude record is created with + the OHM user_id from the first event rather than as an + anonymous device that retroactively links. SPEC chapter to + codify is part of #21 Part B. +- **Pin-jump side effects**: when the pin bumps past versions + that were integrated-but-undeployed (in Session L: v0.13.0 + cookie banner + v0.14.0 /docs both went live as a side + effect of the v0.15.0 → v0.17.0 sequence), flag this to the + operator at the deploy step. Not a blocker; just transparency. +- **CHANGELOG slot 016 stays reserved + skipped**. v0.15.0 + used no schema migration; #12 took slot 018, #16 took 019. + Next free: 016, 020, 021, …. +- **Login.jsx remains contested**: Session L's v0.15.0 + Amplitude wiring added `User Signed In` calls at the three + verify paths (otc / passcode / trust-device). Future + auth-touching releases need to preserve v0.11.0 + v0.12.0 + + v0.15.0 injections. +- **Admin.jsx contested too**: v0.15.0 added Admin Permission + Decision firing; v0.17.0 added Create-user-invite modal + + pending-invite badge. Future admin-page work layers on top + additively. +- **api_admin.py contested**: v0.16.0 added `rfc_invitations[]` + per-user; v0.17.0 added `pending_invite` per-user + new + endpoints. Both additive; the per-user dict has two new + fields side-by-side. Future admin-API work should follow + the same additive shape and not restructure the response + envelope. +- **Roadmap items added mid-session**: #20 email deliverability, + #21 Amplitude audit + standing discipline (Parts A + B + C), + #22 pro-analytics-consent copy on the privacy/cookies opt-in. + All three pushed to ohm-rfc as their own commits during the + session. Don't batch roadmap captures to end-of-session — push + promptly so the operator sees them on the gitea side without + waiting. + +End-of-session: write `~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-M-TRANSCRIPT-…md` +(your main transcript) AND ensure each subagent's subsession +transcript was written. Per Session-L feedback: **transcript is +the LAST step** — finish all other work first, then finalize the +transcript, then publish all of them via +`~/git/ohm-infra/scripts/publish-transcript.sh`. If the operator +surfaces new instructions after the transcript is "finalized," +it isn't yet final — apply the new work, finalize again, then +publish. +```
