Session L's main transcript is at `~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-L-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T04-22--2026-05-28T05-17.md`. **Repos at session open:** | Repo | State at open | | --- | --- | | `rfc-app` (`~/git/rfc-app`, branch `main`) | clean tree, HEAD at `1456c8b` (Release 0.17.0: admin-create user + invite email + #21 Part C). Tags through `v0.17.0`. | | `ohm-rfc` (`~/projects/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc`, branch `main`) | clean tree, HEAD at `47cb2f9` (ROADMAP strike of #12 / #13 / #16). `.rfc-app-version` = `0.17.0`. | | `ohm-rfc-app-flotilla` (`~/projects/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc-app-flotilla`, branch `main`) | clean tree, HEAD at `65c0e55` (CLAUDE.md: correct the secret-set gesture). v1.0.1. | | `ohm-infra` (`~/git/ohm-infra/`) | Plain directory (not a local git repo). Transcripts A–L published to `wiggleverse/ohm-session-history` via `scripts/publish-transcript.sh`. SESSION-PROTOCOL.md at the §5-amended version. | **OHM live state**: `ohm.wiggleverse.org` serves rfc-app v0.17.0, deploys.id=21 (last deploy from Session L). v0.13.0 cookie banner + v0.14.0 /docs route + v0.15.0 Amplitude analytics & session replay + v0.16.0 per-RFC owner invites + v0.17.0 admin-create user invites all live in production for the first time. #21 Part C identity- lifecycle wiring (identify-with-properties on sign-in, setUserProperties on mid-session changes, amplitude.reset on sign-out, identify-BEFORE-track on invite-claim paths) shipped inline with the v0.15.0 / v0.16.0 / v0.17.0 release commits. **Roadmap state**: #2–#16 + #21 Part C all shipped (struck through in `~/projects/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.md`). Wave 6 candidates open: - #20 Email deliverability (HIGH priority — invites are now the recipient's first contact with OHM, spam-foldering is silent invite failure) - #18 Secure SMTP relay + Gitea webhook (bundles with #20 — shared DNS edits) - #19 CONTRIBUTING guides + transcript-linked onboarding - #21 Part B — SPEC analytics chapter + CONTRIBUTING checklist (rides #19) - #17 Repo naming + location alignment (operator-led; subagent inventories + proposes) - #1 VM rename (operator-led) - #22 Pro-analytics-consent copy (BLOCKED — waiting on operator- drafted + counsel-reviewed copy) - #21 Part A — deep audit of v0.15.0 taxonomy + autocapture + replay quality (BLOCKED — needs ~1 week of Amplitude data; v0.17.0 is <12 hours old) **Housekeeping noticed at open**: - A stale `SESSION-L-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T04-22--INPROGRESS.md` (4.3 KB) sits next to Session L's final transcript at `~/git/ohm-infra/`. The final transcript is the load-bearing one (was published). The INPROGRESS placeholder is leftover. Recommend the operator delete it (or driver deletes at the end of M); not load-bearing for Session M's work. - Three rfc-app worktrees from Session L still on disk under `~/git/`: - `rfc-app-v0.15.0-amplitude/` - `rfc-app-v0.16.0-owner-invite/` - `rfc-app-v0.17.0-admin-create-user/` Each release has shipped and merged to `main`; the worktrees are no longer load-bearing. Could be cleaned up via `git worktree remove` when the operator next runs through housekeeping. --- ## Dispatch plan **Wave 6** runs as three forked subagents, each in its own subsession, each writing its own transcript per §5 of the protocol. All three are Track Ω (docs + ops inventory / proposal) — they touch non-overlapping files in non-overlapping repos, so they run safely in parallel without merge-conflict risk. None ship code that runs on OHM in this wave; each produces a feature branch with a draft + a recommendation block for the operator to review. | Sub | Brief | Repo(s) touched | Output | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **M.1** | #19 CONTRIBUTING guides bundled with #21 Part B (SPEC.md analytics chapter + CONTRIBUTING analytics checklist) | `rfc-app` (CONTRIBUTING.md + SPEC.md) + `ohm-rfc` (CONTRIBUTING.md) | Feature branches in both repos with drafts; ready for operator PR review | | **M.2** | #17 inventory of every repo under `git.wiggleverse.org` + `git.benstull.org` with current name, canonical location, mirror status, and proposed name. Drafts a move-proposal doc. No renames executed. | `ohm-infra` (write proposal here) + read-only across all Wiggleverse / benstull repos | A `REPO-NAMING-PROPOSAL.md` (or similar) for operator to approve | | **M.3** | #20 deliverability + #18 SMTP/webhook hardening combined inventory. Reads current DNS posture, rfc-app `backend/app/email_*.py`, ohm-infra SMTP/webhook config, Gitea webhook auth surfaces. Drafts a hardened-shape runbook + a rfc-app template-hygiene minor proposal. | `ohm-infra` (runbook) + read-only on `rfc-app` (drafts the proposal as a doc, NOT as code changes) | A hardening runbook + an rfc-app template-hygiene proposal doc | **Why no rfc-app code release this wave**: every Wave 6 candidate either (a) is docs / inventory / proposal that lands as a PR the operator merges, no version bump, or (b) requires operator-led gestures (DNS edits, counsel review, rename execution) that can't happen autonomously. Wave 6 is the "set up Wave 7" wave — deliverables here become the operator's plate, and Wave 7 picks up the rfc-app minors (template hygiene, pro-consent copy) and the ops moves (DNS, renames) that fall out. **Dispatch contract for each subagent** (per §5.2): 1. Pre-assigned subsession ID named in the dispatch prompt. 2. Subagent MUST write `~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-M.-TRANSCRIPT---.md` before returning a report. 3. Subagent does NOT push code that ships on OHM. Branches only; operator merges. 4. Subagent does NOT execute operator-led gestures (no DNS edits, no repo renames, no SMTP provider config changes). 5. Subagent reports back with: branch + commit SHAs, the draft's one-paragraph PR description, any §19.2 candidates surfaced. --- ## Turn-by-turn arc ### Arc 1 — Opening + Wave 6 plan + parallel dispatch Operator handed off the wheel at 05:20 PST with a thorough brief explicitly listing Wave 6 candidates and the new §5 subsession- transcript dispatch shape. Read SESSION-PROTOCOL.md and ROADMAP.md end-to-end. Identified six Wave-6-eligible items; three blocked or operator-only (#22 / #21 Part A / #1), three dispatchable now (#19 + #21B / #17 / #20+#18). Bundling rationale: #21 Part B explicitly rides #19's CONTRIBUTING PRs per the roadmap; #18 and #20 explicitly ship together because the same DNS edits serve both. Pre-state snapshot above. Then opened this transcript at `SESSION-M-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T05-26--INPROGRESS.md` and dispatched the three subagents in parallel at 2026-05-28T05-30 PST. Each subagent's dispatch prompt named: - the subsession ID (M.1 / M.2 / M.3) - the transcript filename to write at session end - the binding constraints (never-secret-bytes; no-operator-led- gestures; no force-push / `--amend` / `git config`) - the read-only inventory boundary (no DNS edits, no repo renames, no flotilla deploy, no SMTP provider changes) - the deliverable shape and the report-back format Dispatch summary: | Sub | agent state | Scope | | --- | --- | --- | | **M.1** | running (background) | `rfc-app/CONTRIBUTING.md` + `rfc-app/SPEC.md` analytics chapter + `ohm-rfc/CONTRIBUTING.md`. Feature branches in both repos. | | **M.2** | running (background) | `REPO-NAMING-PROPOSAL.md` — inventory + move proposal across `git.wiggleverse.org` + `git.benstull.org`. No renames executed. | | **M.3** | running (background) | `EMAIL-AND-WEBHOOK-HARDENING-RUNBOOK.md` + `RFC-APP-EMAIL-HYGIENE-PROPOSAL.md`. Read-only DNS / flotilla-overlay / rfc-app code inventory. No DNS or SMTP changes. | Driver waits for each completion notification, folds the report + subsession-transcript reference into Arc 2 / Arc 3 / Arc 4 as they return. Cut-state table written after all three are in. ### Arc 2 — M.2 returns: #17 repo naming inventory M.2 completed at 2026-05-28T05-37 PST (~7 min). Full detail: `SESSION-M.2-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T05-30--2026-05-28T05-37.md`. **Inventory totals:** 9 repos on `git.wiggleverse.org` (4 under `ben.stull/`, 5 under `wiggleverse/`); 3 on `git.benstull.org` (under `benstull/`: 1 real sha-synced mirror, 1 stub, 1 empty); 9 local-only working dirs catalogued in the proposal. **Surfaced friction not in roadmap #17:** - Three-meta-repos collision (`wiggleverse/meta` + `wiggleverse/ohm-meta` + `wiggleverse/rfc-0001-human` — the monorepo `ohm-rfc` has won in practice; three repos for one job). - Push-mirror description drift between `ben.stull/rfc-app` and `benstull/rfc-app`. - A `ben` username alias on git.wiggleverse.org creating a 1-hop redirect chain alongside the canonical `ben.stull`. - `~/git/ohm-infra/` is a plain directory, not a git repo — matches what the driver caught at session open. M.2 surfaces it as a §19.2 candidate (see below). **Top moves proposed (execution order from the proposal doc):** 1. Archive `wiggleverse/meta` (vestigial; zero-risk warmup). 2. Archive `wiggleverse/ohm-meta` + `wiggleverse/rfc-0001-human` (requires Q1 operator confirm — per-RFC repos vs. monorepo). 3. Transfer `ben.stull/ohm-rfc` → `wiggleverse/ohm-rfc` — medium risk; affects flotilla SPEC (~10 places), 4 test files hardcode `ben/ohm-rfc`, and flotilla's SQLite registry stores it as `pin_source_repo` + `corpus_repo` — **operator must run a flotilla update post-move or the next deploy chases a 2-hop Gitea redirect.** 4. Transfer `ben.stull/rfc-app` → `wiggleverse/rfc-app` — largest blast radius. Flotilla SPEC §3.1 has a *conceptual* paragraph explaining why rfc-app gets a benstull mirror — that rationale dissolves under org-namespace and needs rewriting. Good news: no shipped frontend artifacts reference these URLs, so end- users see nothing. 5. Archive `benstull/rfc-app-flotilla` stub (empty placeholder that contradicts SPEC §3.1's "no benstull mirror for flotilla" rule). **§19.2 candidates surfaced by M.2:** 1. Stop relying on Gitea path aliases — resolve canonical paths at registry-update time so flotilla's SQLite registry doesn't silently chase Gitea redirects after a transfer. 2. Concrete `flotilla-core` reservation slot (the `benstull/rfc-app-flotilla` stub repo is an accidental artifact of this need). 3. Promote `~/git/ohm-infra/` to a real git repo — currently a plain directory; transcripts publish to the remote `wiggleverse/ohm-session-history` but the runbooks, proposals, and protocol doc that live in ohm-infra have no version control. **Open questions for the operator** (the proposal lists six; the load-bearing ones): - **Q1**: per-RFC repos vs monorepo — settles whether step 2 above happens at all, and may reshape the proposal entirely. - **Q2**: mirror destination after rfc-app moves. - **Q3**: fate of the `benstull/rfc-app-flotilla` stub (the proposal recommends archive; operator confirm). - **Q4**: promote ohm-infra/ to a real repo (yes? then where?). - **Q5**: remove the `ben` username alias. - **Q6**: backup ohm-infra/ before execution session begins. **Artifacts written by M.2:** - `~/git/ohm-infra/REPO-NAMING-PROPOSAL.md` (~33 KB). - `~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-M.2-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T05-30--2026-05-28T05-37.md`. Zero remote git operations. No Gitea admin actions. Clean inventory + proposal pass per scope. ### Arc 3 — M.3 returns: #20 + #18 deliverability & webhook hardening M.3 completed at 2026-05-28T05-58 PST (~28 min). Full detail: `SESSION-M.3-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T05-30--2026-05-28T05-58.md`. **Load-bearing finding (top of operator's plate)**: `SMTP_HOST` and `SMTP_USER` are MISSING from the live flotilla overlay. Only `SMTP_PORT=587`, `SMTP_STARTTLS=1`, `EMAIL_FROM`, `EMAIL_FROM_NAME` are present. Either the bootstrap was reshaped post-run and these dropped, OR they live on the VM out-of-band via systemd override. **If neither holds, every OHM email path is silently failing right now** (OTC, beta-access notifications, per-RFC owner invites, admin-create user invites — all four paths added across v0.7.0 → v0.17.0). Operator disambiguates next session via `gcloud ssh ohm-app` + `systemctl show ohm-app.service | grep Environment`. **Current DNS posture (`wiggleverse.org`, literal values):** - SPF: `v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all` (soft-fail) - DMARC: `v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:ben@wiggleverse.org` (monitoring-only, no enforcement) - DKIM: present at `google._domainkey.wiggleverse.org` (2048-bit Workspace key) - MX: standard Google Workspace `aspmx.l.google.com` family **SMTP provider identified:** Google Workspace SMTP relay (`smtp-relay.gmail.com`) — inferred from bootstrap + DKIM + MX (no direct confirmation since `SMTP_HOST` is missing from the overlay). **Top 3 deployment-side hardening gestures (priority order):** 1. **Delete stale `wiggleverse/meta` Gitea hook** — still active, points at `http://rfc.wiggleverse.org/api/webhooks/gitea` (host was deprovisioned 2026-05-27, plain HTTP). 5-second `curl DELETE`. Trivial cleanup. 2. **Disambiguate the SMTP_HOST gap** (see load-bearing finding above). Highest user impact if email is actually silently broken. 3. **DMARC Phase A** — extend the existing `p=none` record with `pct=100; sp=quarantine; adkim=s; aspf=s`, collect `rua` data for 1 week, flip to `p=quarantine`. Conservative enforcement ramp. **Top 3 framework-side changes (target rfc-app v0.18.0):** 1. **`build_envelope` shared helper** — adds `Date`, `Message-ID`, `Auto-Submitted: auto-generated`, `List-Unsubscribe` + `List-Unsubscribe-Post` (per RFC 8058), and `multipart/alternative` text+html to all four email paths (`email_otc.py`, `email_invite.py`, `email.py:_deliver`, `email.py:_send_bundle`). Today: NONE of these headers are set; bodies are plain-text-only; Gmail's one-click-unsubscribe enforcement is unsatisfied for bulk-adjacent watcher notifications. 2. **Make `GITEA_WEBHOOK_SECRET` required, not optional.** `config.py:75` is `_optional`; `webhooks.py:43` silently accepts unsigned POSTs when empty. Insecure-by-default for any deployment that forgets the binding. Add `RFC_APP_INSECURE_WEBHOOKS=1` dev-bypass for local dev only. 3. **`outbound_emails` audit table + write on every send.** Today failures log-and-forget; operator has zero visibility without grepping VM logs. The audit table seam doubles as a place to wire bounce-handling later. **Webhook posture audit:** signature verification is correct (`hmac.compare_digest`, HMAC-SHA-256 over raw body) **when the secret is set** — and on OHM it is. Two structural issues: (a) silent-accept-when-unset default; (b) no replay-window (currently mitigated by idempotent cache refreshes, so not yet exploited but worth a §19.2 candidate or follow-up rfc-app minor). M.3 also noted: `wiggleverse/rfc-0001-human` has NO Gitea webhook configured (the only published RFC's content changes only reach OHM via the reconciler). Operator confirms whether this is intentional. Bot lacks admin on `ben.stull/ohm-rfc` (the pin source), so M.3 couldn't self-check that one. **§19.2 candidates surfaced by M.3 (5):** 1. rfc-app: `GITEA_WEBHOOK_SECRET` should be required. 2. rfc-app: outbound-email observability seam (audit table). 3. flotilla: `overlay show` doesn't surface expected-but-missing keys; needs `overlay validate` verb. 4. flotilla: lacks a `webhook list/check` verb (generic, would land in `flotilla-core` after extraction per §19.2). 5. rfc-app: From-identity spec to bind `EMAIL_FROM` consumers + DMARC + Workspace allowed-senders to one source. **Artifacts written by M.3:** - `~/git/ohm-infra/EMAIL-AND-WEBHOOK-HARDENING-RUNBOOK.md` (~21 KB). - `~/git/ohm-infra/RFC-APP-EMAIL-HYGIENE-PROPOSAL.md` (~9 KB). - `~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-M.3-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T05-30--2026-05-28T05-58.md`. Read-only DNS / flotilla-overlay / rfc-app code inventory. Zero DNS edits, zero overlay set, zero code commits. Clean per scope. ### Arc 4 — M.1 returns (with a stall): #19 + #21B docs landed M.1 hit the stream watchdog at 600s-no-progress and the agent was killed before it could return its report. Its own transcript says end-time 05:40 PST — meaning it wrote the transcript ~10 minutes into its run, then spent another ~50 minutes in a "sanity check before reporting back" phase that produced no streamable output and got watchdog-killed. Per protocol §5.5 the driver MAY write a stub if a subagent fails to produce a transcript. M.1 did produce a transcript (full 460-line detailed shape, all the synthesis the driver needs); the stall was on the report-back-to-driver step. Driver chose **no re-dispatch**: all deliverables landed cleanly on disk, both feature branches pushed to canonical (rfc-app to origin + benstull, ohm-rfc to origin), tree clean. Recovery was: read M.1's transcript directly + switch the two repos back to `main` (M.1 left them on the feature branches) + fold synthesis into this transcript. **Pre-state addendum surfaced by M.1's own pre-state**: ohm-rfc `main` was at `8cce148` when M.1 opened at 05:30, but this driver's pre-state at 05:26 (above) recorded ohm-rfc `main` at `47cb2f9`. The operator pushed `8cce148 ROADMAP: +#23 (rename transcripts SESSION- → SESSION-NNNN.M)` to ohm-rfc/main in the 4-minute gap between session-open and M.1 dispatch. Recorded honestly here per the protocol's no-curation rule — this is the Session-L "don't batch roadmap captures to end-of-session" lesson applied in real time. **Roadmap item #23 now exists** (transcript- filename rename) and is captured on ohm-rfc/main outside of any Session-M subagent's scope. **M.1 deliverables (all on feature branches, none merged):** | | | | --- | --- | | `rfc-app` `feature/contributing-and-spec-analytics` | `213f686 docs: CONTRIBUTING.md + SPEC.md §21 analytics chapter`. Pushed to `origin` + `benstull`. | | `ohm-rfc` `feature/contributing-roadmap-guide` | `f26fae4 CONTRIBUTING: add roadmap-change guide + operator-only boundary`. Pushed to `origin`. | `rfc-app/CONTRIBUTING.md` is new, ~370 lines, covering: PR shape, strict-descending CHANGELOG convention, RFC 2119 `Upgrade steps:` discipline, §19.2 candidate practice, test-coverage expectations characterized from the real ~250-test backend suite, the operator- only-gestures boundary (with the hard no-secret-bytes rule cited from Session K Arc 6), and the #21 Part B analytics-instrumentation checklist as a dedicated section. Worked-example links to Sessions E (clean small release), I (deploy-fault recovery), K (multi-feature wave + paused-on-secret), L (squash-merge across three parallel features + #21 Part C inline). Links to the repo root not specific transcript filenames — anticipating the #23 rename. `rfc-app/SPEC.md` gets new §21 "Analytics instrumentation and identity", ~440 lines, structured §21.1 event-taxonomy → §21.2 required prop families → §21.3 autocapture-friendly DOM patterns → §21.4 session-replay masking → §21.5 consent-gate contract → §21.6 identity lifecycle (#21 Part C) → §21.6.1 set vs setOnce taxonomy → §21.7 cohort-shape implications → §21.8 secret-vs-public framing → §21.9 §19.2 candidates → §21.10 open question. RFC 2119 keywords used precisely throughout. The starting v0.17.0 taxonomy (13 events) laid out verbatim. **Placement decision the driver should weigh in on:** M.1 settled inline on placing the new chapter as §21 (after §20 versioning) rather than §16 (the naively-correct insertion-after-§15 notifications). Rationale: §19.2 is a load-bearing project noun (in CLAUDE.md, SESSION-PROTOCOL.md §3, 12 published transcripts, historical commit messages) — renumbering would cascade across all of those. §15 now carries a forward-pointer naming §21 as the peer cross-cutting analytics chapter. The driver agrees with M.1's call: the right §16 numbering belongs to a future cross-repo cleanup session, NOT a docs-PR. Flagged as §19.2 candidate #1 from M.1 (see below). `ohm-rfc/CONTRIBUTING.md` extends the existing 130-line RFC-content guide (preserved verbatim) with a new "Proposing a change to the OHM roadmap" section (~80 added lines). Covers: roadmap-change kinds, ohm-session-history pointer + worked-example links into Sessions J/K/L roadmap reshuffles, PR-submission gesture with the **anonymous-PR open question SETTLED inline** (see Arc 5 below), the operator-only-gestures boundary phrased with the "I'm the only one that gets to yolo" quote, the two-layer rule. ### Arc 5 — Anonymous-PR question settlement (M.1 inline) M.1 probed `https://git.wiggleverse.org/user/sign_up` and got HTTP 200 with body containing `

`. Definitive answer. The ohm-rfc CONTRIBUTING text settles on two contributor paths: Issue-first (default; the operator or next driver session turns it into a roadmap entry or opens discussion in the issue thread), or request-account-from-operator (for repeat contributors). Phrased so the operator can edit down to one path if registration policy flips later. ### Arc 6 — Recovery + finalize Driver switched rfc-app + ohm-rfc back to `main` (M.1 left them on feature branches; `git checkout main` on each — clean, "up to date with origin/main"). Marked M.1 task completed with a description recording the stall + recovery decision. Wrote this turn-by-turn, cut state, §19.2 ledger, operator plate, next-session prompt. Renamed transcript INPROGRESS → final timestamp. About to publish all four transcripts (M + M.1 + M.2 + M.3) via `~/git/ohm-infra/scripts/publish-transcript.sh` per §5.6. --- ## Cut state (end of session, 2026-05-28T06-50 PST) | | | | --- | --- | | `rfc-app` | `main` unchanged at `1456c8b` (Release 0.17.0).

The plate is heavy and clearly-named. --- ## §19.2 candidates surfaced this session From **M.1**: 1. **SPEC.md §16..§20 renumbering vs. §21-at-end placement.** The chapter went in as §21 not §16 to preserve the §19.2 / §19.3 cross-reference graph; a future cleanup session can do the numerically-clean §16 insertion + cascade across CLAUDE.md files + SESSION-PROTOCOL.md + 12 transcripts + auto-memory. 2. **Centralized email-hash helper** (SHA-256 of normalized lower- cased email for #12-style per-RFC `target_email` hashing). 3. **Property-shape CI lint** for `track(` / `identify(` callsites (allowlist of prop keys, denylist of PII names). 4. **Frontend test runner** (no `vitest`/`jest`/`playwright` today; the CONTRIBUTING file documents the gap honestly). From **M.2**: 5. **Stop relying on Gitea path aliases** — resolve canonical paths at registry-update time so flotilla's SQLite registry doesn't silently chase Gitea redirects after a transfer. 6. **Concrete `flotilla-core` reservation slot** — the `benstull/rfc-app-flotilla` stub is an accidental artifact of this latent need. 7. **Promote `~/git/ohm-infra/` to a real git repo** — currently a plain directory; transcripts publish to the remote but runbooks, proposals, and the protocol doc have no local version control. From **M.3**: 8. rfc-app: `GITEA_WEBHOOK_SECRET` should be **required**, not `_optional`. Insecure-by-default for any deployment that forgets the binding. 9. rfc-app: **outbound-email observability seam** (`outbound_emails` audit table + write on every send). Today failures log-and- forget; doubles as bounce-handling hook later. 10. flotilla: `overlay show` doesn't surface expected-but-missing keys; needs an `overlay validate` verb. (The session's own headline finding — possibly-missing SMTP_HOST — would have been a one-command detection if this existed.) 11. flotilla: lacks a `webhook list/check` verb (generic — would land in `flotilla-core` after §19.2 extraction). 12. rfc-app: **From-identity spec** to bind `EMAIL_FROM` consumers + DMARC + Workspace allowed-senders to one source. Driver-surfaced (this transcript): 13. **Subagent stream-watchdog stall pattern.** M.1 finished its work + transcript at minute ~10 but spent ~50 more minutes in a quiet "sanity check" phase before the watchdog killed it. The session-protocol §5.3 instruction says transcript-write happens BEFORE report-back — that's load-bearing, since the report-back is where the agent dies. Worth a protocol clarification: "transcript first; report-back is the only thing after; do NOT add a 'final sanity check' phase between — sanity-check findings go into the transcript." Or alternatively, a documented expectation that the driver always re-verifies deliverables on disk and doesn't depend on the report-back text alone. --- ## What lands on the operator's plate In rough priority order (driver's read): ### URGENT — investigate before any further Wave 7 work 1. **Disambiguate the SMTP_HOST / SMTP_USER overlay gap** (M.3 finding). Run `gcloud ssh ohm-app` + `systemctl show ohm-app.service | grep Environment` to check whether they're set via systemd override. If not, OHM has been silently dropping every email (OTC, beta-access notifications, per-RFC invites, admin-create invites) — meaning v0.7.0 / v0.9.0 / v0.16.0 / v0.17.0's user-facing email features are degraded since deploy. Send a manual test through the admin "Create user + invite" flow as a probe. ### HIGH — review + merge the docs PRs 2. **rfc-app PR** for `feature/contributing-and-spec-analytics` at `213f686`. Suggested PR description in `SESSION-M.1-TRANSCRIPT-…md` What-the-driver-needs-to-know #6. Open on: - `https://git.wiggleverse.org/ben.stull/rfc-app/pulls/new/feature/contributing-and-spec-analytics` - `https://git.benstull.org/benstull/rfc-app/pulls/new/feature/contributing-and-spec-analytics` Operator decides §21-vs-§16 placement — driver concurs with M.1's §21 call (don't break the §19.2 cross-reference graph). 3. **ohm-rfc PR** for `feature/contributing-roadmap-guide` at `f26fae4`. Description also in M.1's transcript. Open on: - `https://git.wiggleverse.org/ben.stull/ohm-rfc/pulls/new/feature/contributing-roadmap-guide` ### MEDIUM — schedule + decide 4. **#17 repo naming proposal** at `~/git/ohm-infra/REPO-NAMING-PROPOSAL.md`. Six open questions in the proposal that need operator input before the execution session can be scoped. Q1 (per-RFC repos vs monorepo) may reshape the proposal entirely; resolve first. 5. **#20 + #18 deliverability runbook** at `~/git/ohm-infra/EMAIL-AND-WEBHOOK-HARDENING-RUNBOOK.md`. Once #1 above is settled, this is the priority-ordered list of operator gestures. Top three: (a) `curl DELETE` the stale `wiggleverse/meta` Gitea webhook pointing at deprovisioned `http://rfc.wiggleverse.org`; (b) DMARC Phase A (`pct=100; sp=quarantine; adkim=s; aspf=s`); (c) confirm `wiggleverse/rfc-0001-human` has no webhook (M.3 noted absence — intentional or oversight?). 6. **rfc-app v0.18.0 minor** is now the natural next release — carries the framework-side hardening from M.3: `build_envelope` shared helper (Date/Message-ID/Auto-Submitted/ List-Unsubscribe headers + multipart text+html); required `GITEA_WEBHOOK_SECRET`; `outbound_emails` audit table. Proposal doc at `~/git/ohm-infra/RFC-APP-EMAIL-HYGIENE-PROPOSAL.md`. ### LOW / informational 7. **#23 transcript filename rename** is on ROADMAP now (operator pushed `8cce148`). This session is the last to use the `SESSION-` convention before #23 ships; future sessions will name as `SESSION-NNNN.M` per the new spec. 8. **Stale Session-L INPROGRESS file** at `~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-L-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T04-22--INPROGRESS.md` (4.3 KB). Final L transcript is published; this is a placeholder that can be deleted. Driver did NOT delete (operator's call). 9. **Three rfc-app worktrees from Session L** still on disk: `~/git/rfc-app-v0.15.0-amplitude/`, `~/git/rfc-app-v0.16.0-owner-invite/`, `~/git/rfc-app-v0.17.0-admin-create-user/`. All shipped + merged. Cleanup via `git worktree remove` at the operator's convenience. 10. **§19.2 candidate #13** (subagent stream-watchdog stall pattern) is a candidate protocol clarification for SESSION-PROTOCOL.md §5 — see the candidates list above. --- ## Prompt the operator can paste into the next Claude Code session ``` You are the OHM roadmap driver. The previous session (Session M) ran Wave 6 as three Track Ω inventory/draft subsessions in parallel (M.1 / M.2 / M.3) under the new §5 subsession-transcript convention. **What Session M produced:** - Two docs feature branches awaiting your PR review: - rfc-app `feature/contributing-and-spec-analytics` at `213f686` (CONTRIBUTING.md + SPEC.md §21 analytics chapter, lands #19 + #21 Part B; placed §21 not §16 to preserve the §19.2 cross- reference graph — driver concurs with M.1's call) - ohm-rfc `feature/contributing-roadmap-guide` at `f26fae4` (CONTRIBUTING extension covering roadmap changes + operator- only boundary) - Three new docs on disk at `~/git/ohm-infra/`: - `REPO-NAMING-PROPOSAL.md` (#17 inventory + proposal; six open questions need your input) - `EMAIL-AND-WEBHOOK-HARDENING-RUNBOOK.md` (#18 + #20 deployment- side gestures, prioritized) - `RFC-APP-EMAIL-HYGIENE-PROPOSAL.md` (#18 + #20 framework-side minor proposal — target rfc-app v0.18.0) **URGENT to investigate FIRST**: M.3 found `SMTP_HOST` + `SMTP_USER` missing from the live flotilla overlay. If they aren't being set via systemd override on the VM, every OHM email path (OTC, beta-access notifications, per-RFC invites, admin-create invites — v0.7.0/v0.9.0/v0.16.0/v0.17.0) has been silently dropping mail since the relevant deploy. First gesture: `gcloud ssh ohm-app` + `systemctl show ohm-app.service | grep Environment` to check. If broken, send a probe through the "admin create user + invite" flow. **Wave 7 candidates (priority order):** 1. **Investigate + fix SMTP gap** (above) — possibly an ops-only gesture if systemd override is sufficient; possibly an rfc-app minor if the email-send code needs a defensive change. 2. **Operator reviews + merges the two docs PRs from Session M** (no version bump for either; lands as no-bump docs commits). 3. **rfc-app v0.18.0** — framework-side hardening from `RFC-APP-EMAIL-HYGIENE-PROPOSAL.md`: `build_envelope` shared helper (Date/Message-ID/Auto-Submitted/List-Unsubscribe headers + multipart text+html for all four email paths); make `GITEA_WEBHOOK_SECRET` required (no longer `_optional`); `outbound_emails` audit table. Add `RFC_APP_INSECURE_WEBHOOKS=1` dev-bypass for local dev only. 4. **#17 execution session** — needs Q1 (per-RFC repos vs monorepo) answered first; then operator runs the moves per `REPO-NAMING-PROPOSAL.md`. 5. **#20 deployment-side gestures** — DMARC Phase A (`pct=100; sp=quarantine; adkim=s; aspf=s`), then ramp to `p=quarantine` after a week of `rua` data; delete stale `wiggleverse/meta` Gitea hook pointing at deprovisioned rfc.wiggleverse.org. 6. **#22** — operator drafts + counsel-reviews the pro-analytics- consent copy; subagent wires it in once approved. 7. **#21 Part A** — earliest reasonable target ~2026-06-04 (one week of Amplitude data post-v0.17.0). Defer until then. 8. **#1 VM rename** — operator-led ops gesture, schedule a maintenance window. 9. **#23 transcript filename rename** — on ROADMAP at `8cce148`; pick a session to execute the rename across all 13 published transcripts + the publish script's filename validator. **Hard rules carried forward from Sessions K + L + M:** - Never EVER ask the operator to paste secret bytes into the conversation. Always give the operator-run gesture (`pbpaste | flotilla secret set `). Public bundle-embedded values (VITE_AMPLITUDE_API_KEY, VITE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY) are fine in-conversation via `flotilla overlay set`. - Subagent stream-watchdog stalls (Session M new): subagents MUST write their transcript BEFORE returning a report (already in §5.3) — and SHOULD NOT add a "final sanity check" phase between transcript-write and report-back (where M.1 died). Driver should always re-verify deliverables on disk rather than depend on the report-back text alone. - §5 subsession-transcript convention is binding from Session M onward. **Cut state at handoff:** - rfc-app `main` at `1456c8b` (v0.17.0) - ohm-rfc `main` at `8cce148` (#23 added by operator mid-Session-M) - ohm-rfc-app-flotilla `main` at `65c0e55` (v1.0.1) - ohm-rfc `.rfc-app-version` = `0.17.0` - OHM live: deploys.id=21, v0.17.0 - Two feature branches awaiting your PR review (above) - Next session letter: **N** Read `~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-PROTOCOL.md` and `/Users/benstull/projects/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.md` end-to-end. Then pick Wave 7's shippable scope. ``` --- (Cut state, §19.2 candidates, operator plate, and next-session prompt all written at session-end.)
