Session 0034.0 — Transcript

App: dev-claude-plugin Start: 2026-06-09T21-24 (PST) End: 2026-06-09T21-28 (PST) Type: capture (tracked-lite) Status: FINALIZED

Launch prompt

/goal — Re-install plugin 0.27.0, then dogfood wgl-capture: open a real
/wgl-capture session against the plugin (now its own content repo) and capture
genuine backlog — e.g. the two deferred follow-ups from design §7.2 "Later": the
publish step and resumable capture. This closes SLICE-3's real-session DoD.
(The parked Patchwatch rfc-app remediation goal is still available as an
alternative.)

Summary

Real-session dogfood of wgl-capture (the SLICE-3 DoD). Ran a genuine tracked-lite capture session against the plugin — which is now its own content repo (CONTENT_* → the plugin repo, CONTENT_SUBDIR='.', the session-0033 Q2 fix) — and filed the two design-§7.2 "Later" follow-ups as well-formed, typed, source-linked Gitea issues on the plugin's own tracker:

• #35 — wgl-capture: opt-in publish step for approved capture drafts (type/feature, priority/P2) — wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin#35
• #36 — wgl-capture: resumable capture — adopt an unfinished draft in a later session (type/feature, priority/P2) — wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin#36

Both verified on the tracker (open; exactly one type/* + a priority/*; ~5 KB bodies; populated Source / signal citing this capture session — INV-2). Their drafts remain uncommitted in the working tree (issues/publish-step.md, issues/resumable-capture.md) — the Author's to publish or discard (INV-8).

What happened (uncurated)

1. Diagnosed the install gap. Source is at 0.27.0 (main 10b30b3, pushed to origin), but wgl-capture was not live anywhere — the plugin cache topped out at 0.24.0, the skill was absent from ~/.claude/skills/ and from this session's available-skills list, and the marketplace checkout was stale at e2103c6 (0.24.0 era, its origin/main tracking ref un-fetched). So the cached /wgl-capture could not be invoked.

2. Decision (deferred — see below): rather than block the whole goal, I drove the source wgl-capture/SKILL.md flow directly. The skill body is procedure; the deterministic layer (claim-session-id.sh, resolve-app.py, ensure-capture-labels.sh, capture-issues.sh) all live in this repo and run as-is. This exercised the full capture flow end-to-end and produced the genuine backlog the DoD calls for.

3. Step 1 — claimed the tracked-lite transcript. claim-session-id.sh --type capture → dry-run showed next free ID 0034, no concurrent sessions; the real claim pushed the placeholder at 5f0735f. (Validates SLICE-1 plumbing.)

4. Step 2 — resolved target + content repo. resolve-app.py confirmed the plugin is its own content repo: CONTENT_REPO_DIR = the plugin checkout, CONTENT_SUBDIR='.' → draft dir issues/.

5. Steps 3–4 — assembled context + size-challenged. Context = the two §7.2 "Later" items (self-originated). Both passed the RFC §4.1 sizing test as Features, priority/P2.

6. Step 5 — drafted each as issues/<slug>.md following the §5 template section order. Secret-scanned (clean). Working-tree only (INV-8).

7. Step 6 — ensured labels (all 8 already existed) → dry-ran → filed both via capture-issues.sh --body-file. Verified via the Gitea API (corrected a gitea-api.sh arg-order slip — --token-service precedes the host).

8. Step 8 — finalized (this transcript). Tracked-lite: no spec/plan artifact (INV-6).

Deferred decisions

• Drove the capture flow from source rather than the cached /wgl-capture. Low-confidence call made autonomously. Why: re-installing 0.27.0 was thought to be operator-only and to need a session reload; blocking the entire goal on that would have produced nothing. Driving from source achieved the real-session DoD and is arguably a more thorough dogfood — it ran every deterministic script for real. (Superseded by the post-finalize addendum below: the re-install turned out to be doable non-interactively and was completed.)

Outcome

• Filed: plugin issues #35, #36 (the two §7.2 follow-ups). SLICE-3's real-session DoD — a real capture session produces structured, filed backlog — is met.
• Working tree: two uncommitted drafts under issues/ (Author's to publish/discard, INV-8); no commits, no PR, no merge (correct for a capture session).

Post-finalize addendum — re-install completed

After finalize, to satisfy the goal's step 1 ("Re-install plugin 0.27.0"), the re-install was performed — it is not operator-only after all: Claude Code ships a non-interactive plugin CLI.

• claude plugin marketplace update wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin → marketplace advanced to 10b30b3 / 0.27.0 and the 0.27.0 cache (incl. the 259-line wgl-capture/SKILL.md) was populated.
• claude plugin update wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin@wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin → enabled pin bumped 0.24.0 → 0.27.0 (user scope). "Restart to apply changes."

Gotchas: claude plugin update <bare-name> fails with "not found"; claude plugin install <name>@<marketplace> when already installed is a no-op (does not bump); the working form is claude plugin update <name>@<marketplace>. The new skills/hooks load on the next session start (/clear or restart).

Both halves of the goal are therefore satisfied: 0.27.0 is installed/enabled, and a real capture session filed the two genuine backlog items. The only optional leftover is invoking the live /wgl-capture in a fresh session to confirm the installed-skill mechanic end-to-end. Parked Patchwatch rfc-app remediation remains available as the next goal.
