Session 0041.0 — Transcript

App: dev-claude-plugin Start: 2026-06-10T00-33 (PST) End: 2026-06-10T00-44 (PST) Type: brainstorming Status: FINALIZED

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

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).
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.
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.
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.
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).
