Session 0008.0 — Transcript

App: dev-claude-plugin Start: 2026-06-03T23-17 (PST) · End: 2026-06-04T00-09 (PST) Goal: Implement wgl-spec-session-init (the spec-development session bookend) from the 0007 design. Outcome: Settled the §7 repo-layout decision, wrote a sequenced plan, implemented all six tasks, and merged to origin/main in both repos (engineering schema + this plugin, v0.8.0). Not yet live — needs an operator plugin re-install.

Plan

Turn the 0007 design (docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-03-wgl-spec-session-init-design.md) into working software: settle the one open §7 decision, run writing-plans, then implement — app.json schema 1.0→1.1 (engineering), resolve-app.py BDD_*/SPEC_RFC_* facts, submit-spec.sh, the wgl-spec-session-init/SKILL.md, wire this plugin's app.json, bump plugin.json 0.7.0→0.8.0.

Pre-session state

main clean and pushed; the design + plan work resumed on branch feat/wgl-spec-session-init (design commit 3adb133 already on origin from 0007).
Source plugin.json at 0.7.0; installed cache still lags at 0.3.0 (re-install pending). The gate already lists wgl-spec-session-init, but the skill didn't exist — building it is itself a coding session.
The engineering repo was sitting on an unrelated in-flight branch (slice3-provision-vm-scaffold-gitea), not main.

Turn-by-turn arc

Gate. wgl-spec-session-init doesn't exist yet (it's what we're building), so of the three gate-lifters the right one was wgl-coding-session-init — this is hands-on coding in the plugin repo.
Init / claim. Start 2026-06-03T23-17 (PST); dry-run peek showed nothing in flight; claimed session 0008. Baseline clean on origin/main for the plugin; on the in-progress feat/wgl-spec-session-init branch (the resume target). Read memory for full context; seeded the ## Plan block.
§7 decision (AskUserQuestion). Operator chose Alternative A — both bdd/ and specs/ as subdirs of the main repo (no new Gitea repo, no provisioning). Recorded the resolution in the design doc §7.
writing-plans. Read the actual sources (schema, README, resolve-app.py, publish-transcript.sh, coding-init SKILL) and wrote a sequenced, TDD-style plan: docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-03-wgl-spec-session-init.md. Self-review caught a real flaw — the offline submit-spec.sh test relied on resolve-app.py parsing file:// (it only parses ssh/scp/https). Fixed by adding --spec-rfc-remote/--subdir overrides to submit-spec.sh (parity with publish-transcript.sh's --sessions-remote), and rewrote the test to use them.
Implementation (six tasks, each verified before commit).
- T1 — schema (engineering): app.schema.json 1.0→1.1 — enum ["1.0","1.1"], contains += bdd,spec-rfc, $defs/bdd + $defs/specRfc, wired as optional $defs/repo props; README fields + 1.1 changelog. Verified with a jsonschema check (1.1 sample validates, legacy 1.0 still valid). Caught the engineering repo on the wrong branch — stashed, branched feat/app-schema-1.1 off origin/main, popped, committed (82db82a).
- T2 — wire this plugin's app.json: → 1.1 with bdd(subdir bdd) + spec-rfc(subdir specs) on the main repo entry; bdd/README.md + specs/README.md markers. Validated against the schema.
- T3 — resolve-app.py: emit BDD_* + SPEC_RFC_* optional facts (mirrors ROADMAP_*; populated from this repo, empty-without-error for an app lacking the roles — verified against engineering).
- T4 — submit-spec.sh: clone spec-RFC repo (SSH), upsert status: frontmatter (proposed|graduated), idempotent commit/push; --dry-run + overrides. Offline behavior test (no-fm prepend, fm upsert, graduate re-stamp, idempotency) passes; live SSH --dry-run against the real app.json resolves correctly.
- T5 — skills/wgl-spec-session-init/SKILL.md: coding-init front half (Steps 1–7 as a thin pointer) + new Steps 8 (orient from BDDs) / 9 (submit & graduate; yolo auto-graduates). Bundled paths verified; frontmatter parses.
- T6 — plugin.json 0.7.0→0.8.0.
End-to-end verification. All checks green (schema, app.json, resolver, submit-spec, version). No deployed copies touched (source-only editing policy).
Finalize (yolo). Operator answered "yolo" to the landing-method question → landed by direct --no-ff merge to main + push (no PR; matches the 0.6.0/0.7.0 pattern, and there's no gh/tea CLI on Gitea). Engineering schema first (the plugin depends on 1.1 semantics), then the plugin. Restored engineering to its slice3 branch; deleted the merged feature branches (plugin local + remote).

Cut state (end of session)

engineering — feat/app-schema-1.1 (82db82a) merged --no-ff to origin/main (merge 93d0d9d); local feature branch deleted; repo restored to slice3-provision-vm-scaffold-gitea. Schema 1.1 live on origin/main.
plugin — six commits merged --no-ff to origin/main (merge 8a563aa): 7335207 app.json 1.1 · 6293e69 resolve-app BDD_/SPEC_RFC_ · 40281e3 submit-spec.sh · 274f1d9 SKILL.md · 458b354 plugin.json 0.8.0 · 19473ec docs (§7 decision + plan). Feature branch deleted local + remote. Working tree clean on main; plugin.json 0.8.0, app.json schemaVersion 1.1.
Repo memory + MEMORY.md index updated to the merged state (writes via Bash — settings.json denies Write/Edit under ~/.claude/**).

What lands on the operator's plate

Re-install the plugin to make 0.8.0 live (/plugin marketplace update + install) — the running cache is still 0.3.0, so the session gate and wgl-spec-session-init aren't active yet. Then smoke-test the new skill by opening a spec session.
Open seams (out of scope this session): the spec-RFC renderer deployment (deploymentUrl:""), planner-project registration in the BDD planner's projects.json (manual), and there's no actual BDD content under bdd/ yet (only the README marker).
Nothing is broken or half-applied; all verification passed before merge.

Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

Open a coding session on wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin (wgl-coding-session-init).
v0.8.0 is merged to origin/main but the installed plugin is still the 0.3.0
cache, so the session gate and the new wgl-spec-session-init skill are NOT live
yet. First action: re-install the plugin (/plugin marketplace update + /plugin
install wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin) to pick up 0.8.0, then smoke-test
wgl-spec-session-init end-to-end by opening a spec session (it should claim an ID,
resolve BDD_*/SPEC_RFC_* from this repo's app.json, and offer submit-spec.sh).
Read memory project_dev_claude_plugin.md for the open seams (spec-RFC renderer,
planner-project registration, empty bdd/ corpus, memory-write settings carve-out).
