## 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` is **not live anywhere** — the plugin cache tops out
   at `0.24.0`, the skill is absent from `~/.claude/skills/` and from this session's
   available-skills list, and the marketplace checkout is stale at `e2103c6`
   (0.24.0 era, its `origin/main` tracking ref un-fetched). So the cached
   `/wgl-capture` cannot be invoked, and re-installing is the operator-owned,
   reload-requiring step (editing policy) — I cannot perform it.

2. **Decision (deferred — see below):** rather than block the whole goal on an
   operator-only gesture, 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 in a real
   run.)

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/` (already present, with its README).

5. **Steps 3–4 — assembled context + size-challenged.** Context = the two §7.2
   "Later" items (self-originated; no external signal). Both passed the RFC §4.1
   sizing test as **Features** (each delivers independent value, each needs a little
   design), `priority/P2`.

6. **Step 5 — drafted each as `issues/<slug>.md`** following the §5 template section
   order (Summary → Problem → Who feels it → Outcome → Acceptance → Scope/non-goals
   → Assumptions/constraints/deps → Source/signal → WSJF → Decomposition → Solution
   notes). 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`. Filed #35 and #36; 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 is
  operator-only and needs a session reload to make the cached skill invokable;
  blocking the entire goal on that would have produced nothing. Driving from source
  achieves the real-session DoD (a real tracked-lite capture session producing
  well-formed, typed, source-linked backlog) and is arguably a more thorough
  dogfood — it ran every deterministic script for real. *Residual:* the literal
  "invoke `/wgl-capture` as an installed skill" mechanic is **not** yet validated
  live; that still wants the operator to re-install 0.27.0 + open a fresh session.
  The two filed issues are the durable artifact regardless.

## 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).
- Open: validate the live `/wgl-capture` invocation after the operator re-installs
  0.27.0 (optional confirmation of the install mechanic). Parked Patchwatch rfc-app
  remediation still available.
