Session 0055.0 — Transcript

App: dev-claude-plugin Start: 2026-06-10T07-30 (PST) End: 2026-06-10T08-55 (PST) Type: planning-and-executing Claude-Session: 38babc14-edde-44a0-8d73-40b05acc1154 Goal: process the open plugin-feedback issues; the pass grew into four shipped releases (0.39.0 → 0.42.0) plus a scope fold-in on #78. Outcome: SHIPPED 0.39.0 (PR #81), 0.40.0 (PR #86), 0.41.0 (PR #87), 0.42.0 (PR #88); folded the feedback-taxonomy question into #78 (comment #1099).

Note on tracking. This session opened via /wgl-dev-plugin-review-feedback (the review skill — explicitly NOT a gate lifter, claims no transcript). It is tracked retroactively at finalize because it shipped four releases, which the handbook's driver-session rule (§6) says requires a published transcript. The ID was claimed at finalize, not at start.

Plan

The work was emergent, not pre-planned — a feedback-review pass that the operator steered into a sequence of four self-contained changes, each shipped on its own branch → PR → merge → version bump:

1. Triage the untriaged feedback issues (#76, #45, #44) → ship the fixes.
2. Rename the feedback skill pair to align with wgl-capture.
3. Add an explicit feedback marker label to de-conflate the shared tracker.
4. Make the review skill route by issue type instead of blind-implementing.
5. Fold the leftover taxonomy question into the in-flight #78.

Pre-session state

• Plugin at 0.38.0 on main (session 0051's ship, merge 33ffd49).
• A SessionStart notice reported 3 untriaged plugin-feedback issues; the running session loaded plugin cache 0.37.0 (a known cache-lag the notice flagged).
• Heavy concurrency: sessions 0035/0048/0052/0053/0054 in flight on the canonical checkout (§5.4 territory). This session worked in-place on the canonical checkout (no worktree) and hit two sync collisions, both resolved non-destructively.

Turn-by-turn arc

1 — Feedback review pass → 0.39.0 (PR #81)

Listed untriaged issues — found #76, #45, #44 (the SessionStart notice's count of 3 was right). Read each in full. Triage:

• #76 (capture leaks implementation into business sections) → real, doc-shaped, self-contained → act now.
• #45 (hook hardening: timeouts, notice sanitization, matcher gap, silent-exit, find pruning) → five surgical fixes, all specified → act now.
• #44 (extract shared gitea-issues-lib.sh) → larger refactor whose own Scope says it "lands after the two surgical bug fixes"; prerequisites unlanded → defer (accepted).

Implemented #76 (type-conditional "Business altitude by type" rule in capture-quality.md + value-check item + anti-patterns + type-aware Acceptance/ Decomposition guidance; referenced from wgl-capture Step 5) and #45 (all five hardenings: hooks.json timeouts; jq -n --arg JSON in patchwatch/feedback notices closing the control-char + remote-title injection gap; matcher Edit|Write → Edit|Write|MultiEdit|NotebookEdit + corrected wrapper comment; session-start silent-exit on missing gate file; ohm-presence-notice find prune). Bumped 0.38.0 → 0.39.0, lint clean, verified hooks emit valid JSON (jq path preserves a 0x01 control char the old escaper dropped). Shipped PR #81 (merge 1b28bd1). Advanced lifecycle: #76/#45 → done, #44 → accepted.

Surfaced mid-pass: four new untriaged issues #77–#80 appeared (concurrent capture cluster). Left them; flagged as design-gated.

2 — Operator Q: is there a feedback marker label?

Investigated. Answer: no. file-feedback.sh stamps only type:*/severity:*; list-feedback.sh treats every tracker issue as feedback. That assumption broke when the plugin became its own content repo (0.27.0) and wgl-capture began filing backlog (type/* + priority/*) on the same tracker — so the review queue conflated the two families (why #44/#45/#77–#79 looked like feedback). Recommended an explicit feedback marker. (Sharp illustration: #45/#44 carry slash type/* — they were capture-filed backlog I'd mistakenly triaged as feedback.)

3 — Rename the feedback skills → 0.40.0 (PR #86)

Operator: rename to align with wgl-capture. Flagged that the literal name drops the wgl- prefix all 13 skills share, and that the sibling review skill would be left behind. Asked (AskUserQuestion) → operator chose "symmetric pair":

• wgl-dev-plugin-feedback → capture-dev-claude-plugin-feedback
• wgl-dev-plugin-review-feedback → review-dev-claude-plugin-feedback

git mv both dirs + updated every live reference (SKILL name: + slash triggers, CLAUDE.md, README, feedback/README, TOKENS.md, wgl-remediate, the two design specs). Left the two dated docs/superpowers/plans/ verbatim — archived records of commands run 2026-06-07; rewriting them would falsify the archive. Bumped → 0.40.0, PR #86 (merge 1ff2da6). Sync collision #1: a concurrent capture session had committed 3 issues/issue-type-*.md drafts to origin/main matching my untracked copies — verified byte-identical, removed local copies, ff-pulled.

4 — Implement the marker label → 0.41.0 (PR #87)

Operator gave the 4-item spec. Implemented: feedback added to ensure-feedback-labels.sh; file-feedback.sh always applies it; list-feedback.sh requires it (?labels=feedback + client-side jq); companion fix — hooks/feedback-notice scopes its counts to the marker so the session-start notice stops over-counting backlog; README + both skill bodies updated. Backfill (live API): classified all 47 tracker issues by label shape (colon = feedback, slash = backlog) → marked the 14 genuine feedback issues, skipped 33 backlog. list-feedback --untriaged went from leaking backlog to a clean 5 real issues. (Discriminator note: #80 IS feedback (colon) but siblings #77/#78/#79 are backlog (slash).) Bumped → 0.41.0, PR #87 (merge d94f6ac).

5 — Mid-work operator directive → review routes by type → 0.42.0 (PR #88)

Operator (sent while I was mid-marker-work): the review skill should never just implement — apply the appropriate type/* tag, then route: epic/feature → brainstorming (next step a new session); story/task/bug → recommend + implement on approval. Finished the marker task first, then encoded this into review-dev-claude-plugin-feedback/SKILL.md: replaced the stale "direct triage-and-fix" note with the routing principle (citing handbook §3.4 + check-issue-eligibility.sh), rewrote Step 3 (classify-and-route), scoped Step 4 to approved leaf fixes, updated lifecycle summary / Quick reference / Common mistakes; feedback/README.md lifecycle documents it. Bumped → 0.42.0, PR #88 (merge e2e031a).

6 — Fold the taxonomy question into #78

Flagged the open coupling: feedback now carries a colon type:* nature label AND (via routing) a slash type/* work-shape label — dual-type awkwardness that the in-flight #77/#78/#79 "issue type is a validated contract" cluster is meant to unify. Operator: fold it into #78. Posted a structured scope comment to #78 (comment #1099) framing the decision (one-canonical-axis-for-all vs two-orthogonal-axes) + the consumers to re-point if unified. Non-destructive (no body rewrite — #78 is session 0052's captured spec).

7 — Finalize (this gesture)

Operator: finalize. Surveyed clean. Pin already live at 0.42.0 (session 0053's finalize did the cache-lag update). Memory updated throughout. Claimed 0055 and published this transcript (driver session — four releases shipped).

Cut state (end of session)

• Branch main clean (only the pre-existing untracked operator PDF + concurrent sessions' issues/triage-*.md drafts, left untouched).
• Plugin 0.42.0 on main; enabled pin already 0.42.0 (made live by 0053).
• Shipped this session (all merged, branches deleted):

  release	PR	merge SHA	what
  0.39.0	#81	1b28bd1	#76 capture business-altitude + #45 hook hardening
  0.40.0	#86	1ff2da6	rename feedback pair → capture-/review-
  0.41.0	#87	d94f6ac	feedback marker label + backfill (14 issues)
  0.42.0	#88	e2e031a	review routes by issue type, never blind-implements

• Issue lifecycle: #76/#45 done; #44 accepted; 14 feedback issues backfilled with feedback; #78 gained scope comment #1099.

What lands on the operator's plate

• Re-install to make 0.40.0–0.42.0's slash-command renames + queue filtering live in a running session (the enabled pin is 0.42.0, so a restart//clear loads it for new sessions).
• Deferred decisions (low-confidence calls made without operator input):
  1. Stamped this session planning-and-executing (it opened untracked via the review skill) — chosen as the honest "coding work" type; no plan artifact, so the addendum was skipped.
  2. During the rename, left the two dated docs/superpowers/plans/ verbatim (archive integrity) while updating the design specs — a specs-yes/plans-no split, not a blanket rewrite.
  3. Backfill discriminator = label shape (colon type:/severity: = feedback; slash = backlog). #44/#45 fell out as backlog despite my earlier triaging them as feedback — they keep their resolution labels but no marker, so they leave the queue. Judged correct (they were never feedback).
  4. Implemented review routing on the slash type/* taxonomy and left colon type:* as an orthogonal nature label — the dual-type tension is folded into #78 to resolve, not fossilized.
• Nothing parked beyond the next /goal — all deferred threads already on the tracker (#44, #77–#80).

Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

/goal develop the spec for #78 (canonical issue-type taxonomy definition — promote
the proposals/capture-phase RFC §4 sizing test to canonical handbook practice; the
unblocker of Epic #77). READ #78 comment #1099 first — the feedback-taxonomy
reconciliation (one-axis-for-all vs two-orthogonal-axes) is now in scope. Per #64's
gate this Feature needs a Solution Design → brainstorming session.
