## Launch prompt

```
Update the plugin so sessions are not started (and don't need finalizing) unless the pwd is under ~/git/wiggleverse.org
```

## Outcome

A **writing-plans** session: produced and archived **one reviewed implementation plan**;
did **not** execute it (the build track's terminal review gate). A separate
`wgl-executing-plans` session will build it.

- **Plan:** `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-26-gate-session-on-pwd-under-wgl-root.md`
  (plugin repo), archived to content `plans/2026-06-26-gate-session-on-pwd-under-wgl-root.md`
  (`6c9e183`).
- **PR #136** (`session-0081` → `main`) merged, merge `6715015`, plan commit `7014f6b`;
  branch deleted.
- **No version change** this session (the bump to 0.61.0 happens during execution); loaded
  pin 0.60.0 == origin/main → no make-live step.

## Pre-state

- On `main`, clean (one untracked, pre-existing stray: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-09-wgl-capture-mvp-design.pdf` — left untouched), synced with origin.
- Not a git worktree. 6 stale `--INPROGRESS` placeholders at claim
  (0035/0048/0058/0065/0068/0076) — none judged live; no isolation needed.
- Loaded plugin pin: 0.60.0.

## Arc (turn by turn)

1. **Session gate / classification.** Opened in the plugin repo (under
   `~/git/wiggleverse.org`), so a tracked session is appropriate. The request — change
   the plugin's own session-start/finalize behavior — is a build task with interpretation
   latitude, so asked the operator (AskUserQuestion) how to scope it: **brainstorming /
   writing-plans-leaf / capture**. Operator chose **writing-plans (leaf task)**.
2. **Init (Steps 1–7).** Start time `2026-06-26T05-59` (PST). Dry-run peek → next free ID
   0081. Baseline clean/pushed `main`, not a worktree. Claimed
   `claim-session-id.sh --type writing-plans` → **0081**, stamped `> Posture: careful` (the
   per-type default). Recorded the anchor in the placeholder's `## Plan` block (leaf task,
   no Gitea issue filed — anchored on the launch prompt, R2b).
3. **Orientation / grounding the design.** Read the actual hooks before planning
   (feedback memory: ground design forks in real artifacts):
   - `hooks/session-start` **injects `session-gate.md` unconditionally** — no pwd/app
     check. This is THE thing to gate.
   - `hooks/finalize-on-goal` (Stop) and `hooks/session-end-finalize-guard` (SessionEnd)
     already resolve the app and require a local `--INPROGRESS` placeholder (which only
     exists if a session was claimed) → they no-op transitively once the gate doesn't fire.
   - Reused patterns: `hooks/worktree-edit-guard.py`'s `under()` containment rule; the
     `ohm-presence-notice` precedent for `$HOME/git/wiggleverse.org` + an env override; the
     `skills/*/scripts/test-*.sh` offline test idiom.
4. **Wrote the plan** (`superpowers:writing-plans`): 4 Tasks — (T1) new deterministic
   `hooks/under-session-root.sh` classifier + offline test; (T2) wire it into
   `hooks/session-start` (suppress gate only on a confident `outside`) + end-to-end hook
   test; (T3) the same guard in both finalize hooks; (T4) CLAUDE.md docs + version bump
   0.60.0→0.61.0 + `lint.sh --check-bump`. Committed on branch `session-0081`, pushed,
   presented the rendered Gitea URL at the review gate with the two design forks called
   out.
5. **Gate passed.** Operator: "approved".
6. **Finalize (writing-plans arm).** Created + merged PR #136 via the Gitea API
   (`gitea-api.sh`; `gh` is GitHub-only here), synced `main`, deleted the branch. Archived
   the plan to the content repo `plans/` via `submit-plan.sh`. No §9 (nothing executed). No
   make-live (no version gap). Updated memory. Published this transcript.

## Key decisions

- **Path-literal, not app.json.** Gate on the *path* `~/git/wiggleverse.org` (the
  operator's exact words, env-overridable via `WGL_SESSION_ROOT`), not on app-resolution —
  because non-app wgl repos (engineering, ohm-content) must still get the gate.
  Confirmed with the operator at the gate.
- **Asymmetric fail-safe.** The classifier returns `under`/`outside`/`unknown`; every
  consumer suppresses the session machinery **only** on a confident `outside`. On `unknown`
  (no jq, unreadable cwd, unresolvable root) it keeps today's behavior — a false `outside`
  (dropping the gate in a real repo) is strictly worse than a false `under` (gating a
  non-wgl repo, which just routes to `wgl-session-none`, the status quo).
- **Finalize-hook guards are explicit-but-redundant.** Outside the root nothing is claimed,
  so no placeholder exists and the finalize hooks already no-op; T3 makes the rule explicit
  and uniform, honoring the request's "(and don't need finalizing)" clause. Flagged as
  droppable if the operator wanted the change minimal.

## Deferred decisions

- **No Gitea issue filed** for this leaf task (operator chose writing-plans/leaf at the
  gate); anchored on the launch prompt. An issue could be filed retroactively if a tracker
  record is wanted.

## Next session

```
/goal Execute the pwd-gating plan: wgl-executing-plans against content plans/2026-06-26-gate-session-on-pwd-under-wgl-root.md
```

Builds `hooks/under-session-root.sh` + wires `hooks/session-start` and the two finalize
hooks; CLAUDE.md docs; version bump 0.60.0→0.61.0; `lint.sh --check-bump`; make the
shipped pin live at finalize.
