Session 0030.0 — Transcript

App: dev-claude-plugin Start: 2026-06-09T07-24 (PST) Type: planning-and-executing End: 2026-06-09T09-40 (PST) Status: FINALIZED. Shipped: plugin v0.24.0 (PR #28, merge 76e299d) + engineering PR #24 (handbook §4.3 + digest).

Launch prompt

Update our instructions so we always do our work guided by the Open Human Model (OHM, in the ohm-content repo). If the OHM repo can't be found locally on a dev's machine, output a warning at session start and ask them for the location or to clone it.

Plan

Make OHM (the Open Human Model — the ohm-content RFC corpus defining human-facing vocabulary: human, consent, agency, harm, dignity, value…) an always-on guiding principle, and warn when it isn't cloned locally. Operator chose: framing = ethos + operational reference rule; missing-repo behavior = fail-open SessionStart notice + ask (never a hard gate).

Documentation-leads-automation split across two repos:

1. engineering (canonical handbook + tier-1 digest) — edited via an isolated git worktree off origin/main because the shared checkout is parked on concurrent session 0029's branch (docs/solution-design-pain-points…).
   • README.md: new §4.3 Build on the Open Human Model — our shared vocabulary (ethos + the operational rule "defer to & cite the OHM RFC for concepts it defines; don't reinvent meaning; an undefined load-bearing concept is itself OHM work"), + TOC entry.
   • agent-context.md (= ~/.claude/wiggleverse.md, auto-loads every repo): concise always-on OHM section citing §4.3 + the local clone path.
2. plugin (this repo) — branch off main.
   • New fail-open SessionStart hook ohm-presence-notice (matcher startup|clear): silent when ohm-content is present (canonical path ~/git/wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/ohm-content, $WGL_OHM_CONTENT_DIR override, bounded ~/git find); else inject a one-line warning telling the agent to ask the operator for the location or offer to clone over SSH. Only fires on a Wiggleverse-configured machine (digest symlink resolves).
   • Register in hooks/hooks.json; document as the 7th hook in CLAUDE.md; bump .claude-plugin/plugin.json to 0.24.0.

Re-install needed to make the new SessionStart hook live (downstream cache lags).

Concurrency note

Session 0029 (started 2026-06-09T06-33) is in flight, working the engineering repo on branch docs/solution-design-pain-points-business-framing. Autonomous default → noted and proceeding; engineering edits go through a worktree so 0029's checkout is never disturbed (§5.4). Different files → low collision risk; rebase before any merge.

Deferred decisions

Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls the driver made and would have liked operator input on. Appended as the session runs; surfaced at finalize.

• Framing/scope of the OHM rule (operator confirmed via AskUserQuestion): ethos + operational reference rule; missing-repo behavior = fail-open notice
  • ask (not a hard gate). No deferral — operator chose.
• §5.4 SHARED-CHECKOUT INCIDENT (needs operator/0029 awareness). Concurrent session 0029 was a dev-claude-plugin session working in the same plugin checkout (not only the engineering checkout, which is what I isolated with a worktree). The init concurrency peek flagged 0029 in-flight, but I read its branch state as engineering-only and branched the plugin work directly in the shared checkout. While I worked, 0029 switched the shared checkout to its feat/wgl-capture-mvp-spec branch and committed 2d10ff7 (wgl-capture MVP Solution Design, Feature #25); my git checkout -b feat/ohm-guiding-principles therefore branched off 2d10ff7, so PR #28 merged 2d10ff7 into main alongside my OHM work — i.e. 0029's spec doc landed in main earlier than 0029 likely planned. 0029 then committed a reframe 5113a47 (v0.2.0) onto the shared feat/ohm-guiding-principles branch, which is now the remote tip of that branch.
  • Nothing is lost / corrupted: my OHM work is correct in main (0.24.0, hook present); 2d10ff7 is on feat/wgl-capture-mvp-spec + in main; 5113a47 is on remote feat/ohm-guiding-principles.
  • Left untouched deliberately: did NOT delete remote feat/ohm-guiding-principles (it carries 0029's 5113a47) and did NOT revert 2d10ff7 from main. 0029 should re-home 5113a47 onto its intended branch and rebase feat/wgl-capture-mvp-spec on the new main.
  • Lesson: a concurrent same-app session means the canonical checkout is contended — the OHM work should have run in a plugin worktree too, not just the engineering one. Filed as plugin feedback (the worktree-edit-guard only catches edits from inside a worktree into the canonical clone; it does not catch working directly in a contended canonical checkout).

Session arc

1. Classified the opening prompt and opened a planning-and-executing session (wgl-planning-and-executing); claimed transcript ID 0030. Concurrency peek flagged session 0029 in flight.
2. Located the OHM corpus locally (~/git/wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/ohm-content) and read PHILOSOPHY.md / README.md to ground the rule in what OHM actually is (a version-controlled RFC dictionary for human-facing vocabulary).
3. Confirmed framing/scope with the operator via AskUserQuestion (ethos + operational reference rule; fail-open notice + ask).
4. engineering (worktree off origin/main): added handbook §4.3 + TOC and a tier-1 digest section. Committed, pushed, PR #24, merged.
5. plugin (branch off the shared checkout — the §5.4 mistake): authored hooks/ohm-presence-notice, registered it in hooks.json, documented the 7th hook in CLAUDE.md, bumped to 0.24.0. Tested all four branches. Committed, pushed, PR #28, merged.
6. Untangled and assessed the §5.4 shared-checkout entanglement with 0029 (see Deferred decisions); left 0029's branches/PR #29 untouched.
7. Filed plugin feedback #30 on the gap. Removed the engineering worktree. Updated memory. Finalized.

Final state

• Shipped & merged: engineering PR #24 (handbook §4.3 "Build on the Open Human Model" + tier-1 digest, auto-loads every repo); plugin PR #28 = v0.24.0 (ohm-presence-notice, the 7th hook).
• Verified: the new hook is silent when the corpus is present (this machine), warns when absent on a wgl-configured machine, silent on a non-wgl machine, and silent with $WGL_OHM_CONTENT_DIR pointing at a present dir.
• Open / for awareness: operator re-install needed to make the ohm-presence-notice SessionStart hook live; feedback #30 awaiting triage; 0029 should re-home 5113a47 (PR #29) and rebase on the new main now that 2d10ff7 is in it.

Next session

The stored Patchwatch remediation goal is unchanged (0030 was an interrupt):

/goal remediate the open patchwatch findings on ben.stull/rfc-app (#36–#40) — make the parked DEPTH call (repo-fixes+PPE-hold-prod / repo-fixes-only-PR / full-PPE→prod-catch-up / backend-floors-only-skip-vitest), per the project memory's "Next /goal" block
