## Launch prompt

```
Write the Solution Design for plugin issue #64 — "Scale required up-front design to issue type": gate solution-designs on a non-epic issue input; gate implementation-plans on a solution-design OR a story/task/bug issue; introduce type/bug. Anchored on https://git.wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin/issues/64 (filed earlier this sitting by capture session 0040).
```

## Plan

Brainstorm and write the Solution Design for feature **#64**, resolving the
genuine forks in the design space, and submit the reviewed spec to the content
repo's `specs/` collection.

## Pre-session state

Continuation of the same sitting as capture session 0040 (which had just filed
#64). Repo on branch `fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory`; concurrent session 0035
in flight → isolated the spec work in a worktree off `origin/main` rather than
switching the shared checkout (§5.4). No roadmap repo for this app, so the anchor
*is* the tracker issue #64 — the issue-driven pipeline this feature is about.

## Turn-by-turn arc

1. **Open + claim.** Recognized "write the solution design" as a brainstorming
   session (own transcript, produces a spec). Invoked `wgl-brainstorming`; claimed
   transcript **0041** (peek showed 0035 + own 0040 in flight; proceeded).
2. **Orient + scaffold.** Read the Solution-Design GUIDE/TEMPLATE and the house
   design-doc style (the lighter numbered Problem/Decisions/Architecture/Slices
   shape used by the 11 siblings in `docs/superpowers/specs/`). Created worktree
   `wgl-dcp-0041-spec` on `brainstorm/issue-type-design-gates` off `origin/main`.
3. **Resolve the design forks.** `AskUserQuestion` ×3, all confirming the
   strong-discipline reading:
   - **R3/D1** — a Feature must produce a Solution Design before it can be planned
     (not plan-eligible directly).
   - **D2** — brainstorming is *always* issue-anchored (pipeline becomes
     capture → issue → design → plan).
   - **D3** — an ineligible anchor refuses + guides + requires an explicit
     operator override, even in yolo.
4. **Write the spec.** Authored
   `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-10-issue-type-design-gates-design.md` — business
   context, the R1/R2/R3 + TAX(`type/bug`) rules, decisions (incl. **D5**:
   enforcement lives in the init skills + a new deterministic
   `check-issue-eligibility.sh`, NOT the SessionStart gate hook), architecture,
   invariants, and a 4-slice doc-first delivery plan mapping 1:1 to #64's checklist.
5. **Approve → submit.** Operator: "looks good." Ran `submit-spec.sh --status
   graduated` → spec landed in `specs/` on `main` at **795ebe1** (direct-to-main
   content path, no PR). Confirmed on `origin/main` with `status: graduated`
   frontmatter.

## Cut state (end of session)

- **Graduated spec on main:** `specs/2026-06-10-issue-type-design-gates-design.md`
  (commit `795ebe1`).
- **Worktree** `wgl-dcp-0041-spec` (branch `brainstorm/issue-type-design-gates`)
  left in place — its removal was denied; harmless scratch (the spec now lives in
  `specs/`).
- **Loose end:** branch `fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory` (commit `05a9e82`,
  capture-finalize memory-skip fix) is pushed but unmerged; `gh` not installed to
  check/open its PR — flagged for the operator.

## Deferred decisions

- **D5** — put enforcement in the init skills + a deterministic script rather than
  the SessionStart gate hook (which must stay fast/fail-open and only classifies
  intent). Low-confidence on the seam; flagged to the operator in chat, no objection.

## What lands on the operator's plate

- Optionally merge or close the loose `fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory` branch.
- Optionally remove the `wgl-dcp-0041-spec` worktree.
- Re-install still lags (live cache 0.27.0) — unrelated to this spec (spec-only).

## Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

```
/wgl-planning-and-executing Implement the Solution Design specs/2026-06-10-issue-type-design-gates-design.md (feature #64) — start SLICE-2: write the up-front-thinking gate (R1/R2/R3 + pipeline diagram) into the engineering handbook as the canonical rule. This planning session is itself anchored on the graduated design, dogfooding R2(a).
