## Launch prompt

`/wgl-capture` — Amend handbook §9/§10 to codify the Phase-1 rollout story:
slices merge to main and deploy to PPE continuously (autonomous, including
yolo); every PPE deploy stamps a release tag on the deployed ref; the human
validates PPE at their own cadence and promotes a validated tag to prod — prod
promotion is the single human gate and is never autonomous in Phase 1, even
though PPE may have moved past it. Codify fix-forward (no reverts on main for
failed PPE validation — prod was never exposed) and the done-vs-shipped
distinction (ticket closes at merge+PPE-green; "shipped" is a tag-level fact).

## Plan

Capture session (tracked-lite): turn the operator's fully-specified ask into
one typed, source-linked Gitea issue on `wiggleverse/engineering`.

1. Claim transcript 0019 (`--type capture`). Peek showed live in-flight
   sessions 0009/0017/0018; capture only writes unstaged drafts in `issues/`,
   so a non-overlapping slug was used instead of worktree isolation.
2. Resolve app → engineering is its own content repo; drafts in `issues/`.
3. Step 2.5: no unfiled drafts to resume.
4. Size-challenge: one ask, a single obvious doc increment needing no design →
   `type/story`, `priority/P1` (WSJF ≈ 5.5 — the §6.5ק9 ambiguity is live
   risk for autonomous sessions).
5. Draft `issues/phase-1-rollout-story.md` (full §5 template, value check
   applied), file via `capture-issues.sh`, delete the draft (INV-8).

## Turn-by-turn arc

- Claimed 0019; resolved content repo; no resumable drafts.
- Grounded the ask against handbook §9 (pipeline) and §10 (rollout
  mechanics): §9's "prod gated only on green PPE" + §6.5's autonomous "deploy"
  together leave autonomous prod promotion textually licensed — the gap the
  ask closes.
- Authored the draft in one pass (story = terse leaf profile; operator not
  present mid-session), value check green: pain = live ambiguity +
  hand-policing cost, not "doc missing".
- Ensured labels (all existed). **Filed as engineering#43**:
  https://git.wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/engineering/issues/43
  (`type/story`, `priority/P1`).
- Deleted the filed draft; `issues/` clean, no stragglers.

**Second ask (same session):** stand up the §9 two-tier E2E gate machinery
(hermetic localhost harness per merge + same suite on PPE per deploy), child
of #26.

- Verified #26 is the open `type/epic` "Engineering-practice uplift" (P2) →
  sized this ask as its child **`type/feature`** (Epic→Feature, one level).
- Grounded against handbook §10.3 (two-tier testing) and §9; kept business
  sections mechanism-free (Docker Compose / Mailpit / Playwright / SQLite
  confined to Solution notes, with the recommended slicing — Tier 1 first,
  not blocked on PPE).
- **Filed as engineering#44**:
  https://git.wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/engineering/issues/44
  (`type/feature`, `priority/P1`; body links Parent #26, relates #43).
- Deleted the filed draft; `issues/` clean.

## Deferred decisions

- **Self-approved the draft before filing (INV-1) under yolo posture.** The
  operator launched `/wgl-capture` with a fully-specified ask and was not
  present mid-session to review the draft blocks; per §6.5
  autonomous-by-default ("create/approve … without pausing") I treated the
  opening prompt as the approval and filed engineering#43 without a per-block
  review pause. If the issue body misses the intent, edit #43 directly —
  Gitea is the system of record.
- **Typed it `type/story` rather than `type/task`.** Judgment call: a
  handbook policy codification has independent business value (it changes how
  every autonomous session behaves), so story over task; it needs no design,
  so not a feature.
- **Self-approved #44 under yolo as well** (same INV-1 rationale as #43:
  fully-specified slash-command ask, operator not present mid-session).
- **Captured #44 as one Feature rather than splitting Tier 1 / Tier 2 into
  two.** The operator framed the two tiers as one machinery ask and §10.3
  treats them as one suite with two targets; the Tier-1-first ordering is
  preserved as recommended slicing in Solution notes. Split later at design
  time if it proves too big.
- **Parent link to #26 is body-prose only** ("Parent: #26" in
  Assumptions·dependencies) — `capture-issues.sh` has no dependency-link
  flag; set a tracker-level dependency by hand if wanted.
