## Launch prompt

```
capture: define and document the definition of bug/task/story/feature/epic in our world, with automation to validate that a Gitea issue type label matches the scope, type, and shape of the work
```

## Pre-state

- Branch at session open: `fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory` (per the opening
  gitStatus). The plugin repo is its own content repo (`CONTENT_SUBDIR='.'`).
- Three stale untracked drafts in `issues/`: `issue-type-design-gates.md`,
  `publish-step.md`, `resumable-capture.md`.
- Claim-peek flagged three `--INPROGRESS` placeholders (0035, 0048, 0051); 0051
  was ~14 min old (potentially live). No worktree was taken (see Deferred
  decisions).
- 4 open plugin-feedback issues noted by the SessionStart feedback-notice hook.

## Session type & gate

Opening prompt was explicitly prefixed `capture:` → classified as the **capture**
gate type (5th, tracked-lite) at ≥90% confidence; invoked `wgl-capture`, which
claimed transcript **0052** with `--type capture`.

## Turn-by-turn arc

1. **Claim + orient.** Claimed 0052 (after a `--prompt-file` process-substitution
   retry — `/dev/fd` not readable by the script; wrote a temp file instead).
   Resolved the app (`dev-claude-plugin`, own content repo). Ran
   `list-unfiled-drafts.sh --all` → the 3 stale drafts surfaced as "unfiled".
2. **Confirm-before-absent.** Queried the tracker via `gitea-api.sh`: **#64**
   ("Scale required up-front design to issue type") is **closed** and is the
   real home of `issue-type-design-gates.md` (a markerless already-filed draft);
   `publish-step.md`/`resumable-capture.md` map to shipped #35/#36. No open issue
   covered the new ask (open: #73/#47/#45/#44) → the ask is genuinely new.
3. **Reflect + decompose (operator decision).** Framed the ask as two halves —
   (a) a canonical taxonomy *definition*, (b) *validation automation* at
   create/triage — and the relationship to #64 (define-vs-validate). Asked via
   `AskUserQuestion`: operator chose **Epic + 2 Features** and **seam left open**.
4. **Draft (section-by-section, INV-7/INV-8).** Read `capture-quality.md`, then
   wrote three drafts into the working tree: Epic `issue-type-validated-contract.md`,
   Feature A `issue-type-taxonomy-definition.md`, Feature B
   `issue-type-label-validation.md`. Value-checked each (Problem/pain = present
   cost, not "we don't have it"); populated Source/signal (self-originated, 0052).
5. **Operator quality catch.** Operator: *"Decomposition of Feature A is
   solution-oriented → Solution notes, right?"* — correct, and self-consistent
   with #64's own gate (a Feature's build-steps are plan-level). Fixed Feature A
   (single-increment; build-steps → Solution notes) and Feature B (dropped the
   "choose the seam in a design" item; kept the genuine create/triage/shared-standard
   slices).
6. **File (on approval, INV-1).** Ensured labels (already present), filed Epic
   **#77** first, stamped Parent `#77` into A/B, filed Feature A **#78** and
   Feature B **#79** (#78 blocks #79). Each: one `type/*` + `priority/P2`.
7. **Disposition (INV-8 / Step 6.5 / Step 7).** Operator chose **publish** the 3
   filed drafts → `publish-capture.sh` pushed each to origin/main
   (`166987e`→`7788f5a`→`236d4d3`); and **discard** the 3 stale markerless drafts
   (deleted). `issues/` left clean of stale clutter.
8. **Finalize (tracked-lite).** No artifact to submit (INV-6). Discovered the
   working tree had been switched to `feedback/marker-label` by a concurrent
   session (the §5.4 hazard) — confirmed no work lost (my drafts are committed to
   origin/main and present on disk). Did NOT touch the concurrent session's dirty
   tree. Updated memory; published this transcript.

## Output (filed to wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin)

| # | type | title |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [#77](https://git.wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin/issues/77) | epic | Issue type is a validated, well-defined contract |
| [#78](https://git.wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin/issues/78) | feature | Canonical issue-type taxonomy definition (blocks #79) |
| [#79](https://git.wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin/issues/79) | feature | Validate an issue's type/* label against the work shape at create & triage (blocked by #78) |

Drafts published to `origin/main` under `issues/`. Complements closed #64.

## Cut state (git / repo)

- **No git operations performed on the shared checkout by this session.** Capture
  output went to Gitea (#77/#78/#79) and to origin/main via `publish-capture.sh`'s
  own clones.
- At finalize the working tree was on `feedback/marker-label` with a **concurrent
  session's** uncommitted work (modified `hooks/feedback-notice` +
  feedback-skill scripts; untracked `issues/triage-*.md` drafts) — left untouched.
- Plugin version: loaded 0.37.0; origin/main at 0.40.0. **Make-live step
  deferred** to the active concurrent session's finalize (see Deferred decisions).

## Deferred decisions

1. **Skipped worktree isolation despite a live-looking concurrent same-app
   session.** The claim-peek flagged 0051 (~14 min old). The skill makes isolation
   mandatory on a live concurrent trigger; I judged capture's contention surface
   (unique-slug working-tree draft files) low enough to proceed in the shared
   checkout. The hazard **materialized** — a concurrent session switched the branch
   and tree under me mid-session — but caused **no loss** because capture files to
   Gitea and I published the drafts to origin/main promptly. *In retrospect,
   isolating would have been cleaner; this is the lesson worth flagging.*
2. **Deferred the plugin make-live step.** Loaded 0.37.0 vs origin/main 0.40.0 (a
   real gap), but a concurrent session is actively shipping plugin versions; I
   skipped `update-plugin.sh` to avoid racing its installs and left the make-live
   to whichever session finalizes last. (`update-plugin.sh` is idempotent/fail-open,
   so this is safe either way.)

(Operator-decided via AskUserQuestion — NOT deferred: the Epic+2-Features
decomposition and the left-open validation seam.)

## Next session

```
/goal develop the spec for #78 — canonical issue-type taxonomy definition (the unblocker of Epic #77; promote the proposals/capture-phase RFC §4 sizing test to canonical handbook practice), then #79 (validation automation, blocked by #78)
```

Per #64's gate a Feature → Solution Design → plan, so the next move is a
**brainstorming** session anchored on #78. Other live threads (on the tracker / a
concurrent session, not this single slot): the feedback marker-label fix in
progress on `feedback/marker-label`; #44 (triaged:accepted, awaiting prerequisite
surgical fixes); #80 (enhancement) in the same issue-type cluster.
