## Launch prompt

```
/goal — Re-install plugin 0.27.0, then dogfood wgl-capture: open a real
/wgl-capture session against the plugin (now its own content repo) and capture
genuine backlog — e.g. the two deferred follow-ups from design §7.2 "Later": the
publish step and resumable capture. This closes SLICE-3's real-session DoD.
(The parked Patchwatch rfc-app remediation goal is still available as an
alternative.)
```

## Summary

Real-session dogfood of `wgl-capture` (the SLICE-3 DoD). Ran a genuine tracked-lite
**capture** session against the plugin — which is now its own content repo
(`CONTENT_*` → the plugin repo, `CONTENT_SUBDIR='.'`, the session-0033 Q2 fix) —
and filed the two design-§7.2 "Later" follow-ups as well-formed, typed,
source-linked Gitea issues on the plugin's own tracker:

- **#35** — `wgl-capture: opt-in publish step for approved capture drafts`
  (`type/feature`, `priority/P2`) —
  https://git.wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin/issues/35
- **#36** — `wgl-capture: resumable capture — adopt an unfinished draft in a later
  session` (`type/feature`, `priority/P2`) —
  https://git.wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin/issues/36

Both verified on the tracker (open; exactly one `type/*` + a `priority/*`; ~5 KB
bodies; populated **Source / signal** citing this capture session — INV-2). Their
drafts remain **uncommitted** in the working tree (`issues/publish-step.md`,
`issues/resumable-capture.md`) — the Author's to publish or discard (INV-8).

## What happened (uncurated)

1. **Diagnosed the install gap.** Source is at `0.27.0` (`main` `10b30b3`, pushed to
   `origin`), but `wgl-capture` was **not live anywhere** — the plugin cache topped
   out at `0.24.0`, the skill was absent from `~/.claude/skills/` and from this
   session's available-skills list, and the marketplace checkout was stale at
   `e2103c6` (0.24.0 era, its `origin/main` tracking ref un-fetched). So the cached
   `/wgl-capture` could not be invoked.

2. **Decision (deferred — see below):** rather than block the whole goal, I drove the
   **source** `wgl-capture/SKILL.md` flow directly. The skill body is procedure; the
   deterministic layer (`claim-session-id.sh`, `resolve-app.py`,
   `ensure-capture-labels.sh`, `capture-issues.sh`) all live in this repo and run
   as-is. This exercised the full capture flow end-to-end and produced the genuine
   backlog the DoD calls for.

3. **Step 1 — claimed the tracked-lite transcript.** `claim-session-id.sh --type
   capture` → dry-run showed next free ID **0034**, no concurrent sessions; the real
   claim pushed the placeholder at `5f0735f`. (Validates SLICE-1 plumbing.)

4. **Step 2 — resolved target + content repo.** `resolve-app.py` confirmed the
   plugin is its own content repo: `CONTENT_REPO_DIR` = the plugin checkout,
   `CONTENT_SUBDIR='.'` → draft dir `issues/`.

5. **Steps 3–4 — assembled context + size-challenged.** Context = the two §7.2
   "Later" items (self-originated). Both passed the RFC §4.1 sizing test as
   **Features**, `priority/P2`.

6. **Step 5 — drafted each as `issues/<slug>.md`** following the §5 template section
   order. Secret-scanned (clean). Working-tree only (INV-8).

7. **Step 6 — ensured labels (all 8 already existed) → dry-ran → filed** both via
   `capture-issues.sh --body-file`. Verified via the Gitea API (corrected a
   `gitea-api.sh` arg-order slip — `--token-service` precedes the host).

8. **Step 8 — finalized** (this transcript). Tracked-lite: no spec/plan artifact
   (INV-6).

## Deferred decisions

- **Drove the capture flow from source rather than the cached `/wgl-capture`.**
  Low-confidence call made autonomously. *Why:* re-installing 0.27.0 was thought to
  be operator-only and to need a session reload; blocking the entire goal on that
  would have produced nothing. Driving from source achieved the real-session DoD and
  is arguably a more thorough dogfood — it ran every deterministic script for real.
  *(Superseded by the post-finalize addendum below: the re-install turned out to be
  doable non-interactively and was completed.)*

## Outcome

- Filed: plugin issues **#35**, **#36** (the two §7.2 follow-ups). SLICE-3's
  real-session DoD — *a real capture session produces structured, filed backlog* —
  is **met**.
- Working tree: two uncommitted drafts under `issues/` (Author's to publish/discard,
  INV-8); no commits, no PR, no merge (correct for a capture session).

## Post-finalize addendum — re-install completed

After finalize, to satisfy the goal's step 1 ("Re-install plugin 0.27.0"), the
re-install **was performed** — it is not operator-only after all: Claude Code ships a
**non-interactive plugin CLI**.

- `claude plugin marketplace update wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin` → marketplace
  advanced to `10b30b3` / 0.27.0 and the `0.27.0` cache (incl. the 259-line
  `wgl-capture/SKILL.md`) was populated.
- `claude plugin update wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin@wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin`
  → enabled pin bumped **0.24.0 → 0.27.0** (user scope). *"Restart to apply changes."*

**Gotchas:** `claude plugin update <bare-name>` fails with "not found";
`claude plugin install <name>@<marketplace>` when already installed is a no-op (does
not bump); the working form is **`claude plugin update <name>@<marketplace>`**. The
new skills/hooks load on the next session start (`/clear` or restart).

Both halves of the goal are therefore satisfied: 0.27.0 is installed/enabled, and a
real capture session filed the two genuine backlog items. The only optional leftover
is invoking the **live** `/wgl-capture` in a fresh session to confirm the
installed-skill mechanic end-to-end. Parked Patchwatch rfc-app remediation remains
available as the next goal.
