## Launch prompt

> Fix these Gitea issues in a single session. Close them once they're
> implemented/fixed and verified: #40 (dead `|| fail` after resolver eval in 5
> scripts), #46 (claim/publish push robustness — classify failures, contention
> retry), #57 (cleanup verb for orphaned --INPROGRESS placeholders), #62
> (document mid-session transcript checkpoints in the Session Protocol).

## Plan

Working in isolated worktree `.claude/worktrees/session-0043-robustness` off
origin/main (v0.29.0), branch `fix/session-script-robustness` — 7 concurrent
sessions share the canonical checkout (§5.4), so source edits stay isolated.

- **#40** — replace `eval "$(resolve-app.py …)" || fail` (status of `$()` is
  discarded → guard never fires) with assign-then-eval in 5 scripts:
  claim-session-id.sh, publish-transcript.sh, submit-spec.sh, submit-plan.sh,
  submit-bdd.sh. Resolver's real stderr now surfaces; `git clone ""` unreachable.
- **#46** — claim: capture+classify push stderr (non-fast-forward → retry as
  today; anything else → immediate fail with the real git error). publish: add a
  bounded fetch+reapply retry on non-fast-forward (was: no retry, loser dies
  mid-finalize). Dry-run unchanged.
- **#57** — new `cleanup-placeholders.sh` under wgl-session-common/scripts/:
  lists in-progress placeholders with age; resolves a NAMED one as `adopt`
  (banner + keep --INPROGRESS) or `abandon` (banner + rename off --INPROGRESS).
  Never bulk-abandons; refuses recent/live ones. One-time pass: ALL current
  INPROGRESS (0035,0040-0046) are live concurrent sessions <1d old → nothing
  genuinely stale to clean (the 0020-0024 era set is already gone). 0024
  false-positive root cause = pre-#39 newest-placeholder selection, fixed in
  0.29.0 by select-owned-placeholder.sh (ownership-scoped) — no further change.
- **#62** — extend SESSION-PROTOCOL.md "During the session — checkpoint" with
  WHEN to checkpoint (after plan approved, after merge/ship, before long blocking
  wait, before risky ops); confirm no script change needed (publish-transcript.sh
  already republishes in-progress). Skill pointers reference the section.

Then: bump version, PR → merge to main, close #40/#46/#57/#62, finalize.

## Progress checkpoint (before merge)

All four fixes implemented in worktree `session-0043-robustness`, verified:
- #40 done — assign-then-eval in 5 scripts; resolver failure now aborts at the
  guard (verified: non-git dir → "not inside a git repository", no `git clone ""`).
- #46 done — claim classifies push stderr (contention retry / fail-fast on
  auth/protection/unknown); publish gained bounded fetch+reapply retry. KEY BUG
  caught in test: the concurrent ref-lock race ("cannot lock ref … is at X but
  expected Y" / "failed to update ref") carries a bare "[remote rejected]" prefix
  shared with branch-protection — so classification keys on the *reason*, with
  non-contention checked first. `test-push-robustness.sh` 7/7 (parallel claims +
  parallel finalizes against local bare repos).
- #57 done — new `cleanup-placeholders.sh` (list/adopt/abandon + --min-age-hours
  gate). `test-cleanup-placeholders.sh` 8/8. One-time pass = verified no-op (all
  current placeholders are live <2h sessions; 0024 false-positive already fixed in
  0.29.0 by select-owned-placeholder.sh).
- #62 done — SESSION-PROTOCOL.md "When to checkpoint" + init-skill pointers; no
  script change needed.

Rebased onto origin/main (0.31.0 → **0.32.0**; 0.30.0/0.31.0 taken by concurrent
sessions). lint.sh --check-bump clean. 27/27 tests green. Pushing + PR next.

## Deferred decisions

_Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls the driver made and would have
liked operator input on. Appended as the session runs; surfaced at
finalize. Empty if none._

## Pre-session state

origin/main at `e4441f6` (v0.29.0). Canonical checkout parked on another
session's branch `fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory` with untracked drafts from
sessions 0034/0039/0040. An extreme §5.4 swarm was live: the claim peek showed
0035/0040/0041/0042 in flight, and by session's end 0035/0040–0047 had cycled
through. The four target issues (#40/#46/#57/#62) were filed by capture session
0039's retrospective and source-review session 0035 — all well-specified.

## Turn-by-turn arc

1. Classified the prompt as planning-and-executing; invoked
   `wgl-planning-and-executing`. Claimed session **0043** (peek showed 4 live
   concurrent sessions; autonomous default → noted + proceeded). Given the swarm,
   created an isolated worktree `session-0043-robustness` off origin/main.
2. Fetched all four issues from the tracker; seeded the transcript Plan block.
3. **#40** — assign-then-eval in all 5 scripts. Verified a non-git repo now
   aborts at the resolver guard ("not inside a git repository"), `git clone ""`
   unreachable.
4. **#46** — added push-stderr capture + two-tier classification to claim, and a
   bounded fetch+reapply retry (with a re-runnable `apply_to_worktree`) to
   publish. Wrote `test-push-robustness.sh` (parallel claim/finalize races vs
   local bare repos). First run FAILED and caught a real classification bug: a
   concurrent ref-lock race on a local remote emits `[remote rejected] …
   (failed to update ref)` + `cannot lock ref … is at X but expected Y` — the
   bare `[remote rejected]` prefix is shared with branch-protection, so keying on
   it mis-failed genuine contention. Fixed by classifying on the *reason*
   (non-contention checked first, then the lock-race/NFF signals). Two harness
   bugs also fixed (bare-repo default HEAD = master; app subdir = repo root with
   no --subdir). Final: 7/7.
5. **#62** — added the "When to checkpoint" subsection to SESSION-PROTOCOL.md and
   pointed the two tracked init skills at it. Confirmed no script change needed
   (publish already republishes in-progress placeholders — #46's test exercised
   exactly that).
6. **#57** — wrote `cleanup-placeholders.sh` (list/adopt/abandon +
   `--min-age-hours` safety gate, dogfooding #46's push classification) and
   `test-cleanup-placeholders.sh` (8/8). Ran the one-time cleanup pass in list
   mode against the real history: VERIFIED NO-OP — every placeholder is a live
   <2h concurrent session; the old 0020–0024 stale set is already gone; the 0024
   false-positive was already fixed in 0.29.0 by ownership-scoped
   select-owned-placeholder.sh. Documented the new verb in CLAUDE.md.
7. Bumped version, ran the full suite (27/27) + lint.sh --check-bump (clean).
   Committed; rebased onto current origin/main (which had advanced to 0.31.0 via
   #65/#67) — resolved plugin.json (→**0.32.0**, since 0.30.0/0.31.0 were taken)
   and CLAUDE.md conflicts, merged both additions; re-verified 27/27 + lint.
8. Pushed, opened PR #69 (default per-host token for /pulls), merged (`098026d`),
   confirmed #40/#46/#57/#62 all closed via `Fixes`. Removed the worktree,
   deleted the merged remote branch.

## Cut state (end of session)

All four issues fixed, verified, merged to main as `098026d` (v0.32.0), and
closed. Worktree removed; remote branch deleted; canonical checkout left exactly
as found (still another session's branch + drafts — untouched). 27/27 tests
green; lint clean. **Re-install needed for 0.32.0 to go live** (the running cache
is older — these script changes take effect only after the operator re-installs).

## What lands on the operator's plate

- **Re-install** the plugin to make 0.32.0 (the script fixes + cleanup-placeholders
  verb) live: `claude plugin marketplace update wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin`
  then `claude plugin update wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin@<marketplace>`, restart/`/clear`.
- Deferred decisions: none — no low-confidence calls this session (all four
  issues were well-specified; the only judgment call, treating the live swarm's
  placeholders as not-stale, is the deterministically-correct conservative read).
- The parked broader Next /goal (`/goal feedback` per ohm/0095, and #64
  plan-and-execute) was NOT consumed — this was an explicit four-issue interrupt.

## Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

```
/goal feedback
```

(Or resume the parked design work: `/goal plan-and-execute #64 / the
issue-type-design-gates spec, per specs/2026-06-10-issue-type-design-gates-design.md`.)
