Session 0081.0 — Transcript

App: dev-claude-plugin Start: 2026-06-26T05-59 (PST) End: 2026-06-26T06-14 (PST) Type: writing-plans Posture: careful Claude-Session: 920d1491-74bd-4b30-b64a-39a0fc29f1f2 Checkout: /Users/benstull/git/wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin Status: FINALIZED

Launch prompt

Update the plugin so sessions are not started (and don't need finalizing) unless the pwd is under ~/git/wiggleverse.org

Outcome

A writing-plans session: produced and archived one reviewed implementation plan; did not execute it (the build track's terminal review gate). A separate wgl-executing-plans session will build it.

• Plan: docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-26-gate-session-on-pwd-under-wgl-root.md (plugin repo), archived to content plans/2026-06-26-gate-session-on-pwd-under-wgl-root.md (6c9e183).
• PR #136 (session-0081 → main) merged, merge 6715015, plan commit 7014f6b; branch deleted.
• No version change this session (the bump to 0.61.0 happens during execution); loaded pin 0.60.0 == origin/main → no make-live step.

Pre-state

• On main, clean (one untracked, pre-existing stray: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-09-wgl-capture-mvp-design.pdf — left untouched), synced with origin.
• Not a git worktree. 6 stale --INPROGRESS placeholders at claim (0035/0048/0058/0065/0068/0076) — none judged live; no isolation needed.
• Loaded plugin pin: 0.60.0.

Arc (turn by turn)

1. Session gate / classification. Opened in the plugin repo (under ~/git/wiggleverse.org), so a tracked session is appropriate. The request — change the plugin's own session-start/finalize behavior — is a build task with interpretation latitude, so asked the operator (AskUserQuestion) how to scope it: brainstorming / writing-plans-leaf / capture. Operator chose writing-plans (leaf task).
2. Init (Steps 1–7). Start time 2026-06-26T05-59 (PST). Dry-run peek → next free ID 0081. Baseline clean/pushed main, not a worktree. Claimed claim-session-id.sh --type writing-plans → 0081, stamped > Posture: careful (the per-type default). Recorded the anchor in the placeholder's ## Plan block (leaf task, no Gitea issue filed — anchored on the launch prompt, R2b).
3. Orientation / grounding the design. Read the actual hooks before planning (feedback memory: ground design forks in real artifacts):
   • hooks/session-start injects session-gate.md unconditionally — no pwd/app check. This is THE thing to gate.
   • hooks/finalize-on-goal (Stop) and hooks/session-end-finalize-guard (SessionEnd) already resolve the app and require a local --INPROGRESS placeholder (which only exists if a session was claimed) → they no-op transitively once the gate doesn't fire.
   • Reused patterns: hooks/worktree-edit-guard.py's under() containment rule; the ohm-presence-notice precedent for $HOME/git/wiggleverse.org + an env override; the skills/*/scripts/test-*.sh offline test idiom.
4. Wrote the plan (superpowers:writing-plans): 4 Tasks — (T1) new deterministic hooks/under-session-root.sh classifier + offline test; (T2) wire it into hooks/session-start (suppress gate only on a confident outside) + end-to-end hook test; (T3) the same guard in both finalize hooks; (T4) CLAUDE.md docs + version bump 0.60.0→0.61.0 + lint.sh --check-bump. Committed on branch session-0081, pushed, presented the rendered Gitea URL at the review gate with the two design forks called out.
5. Gate passed. Operator: "approved".
6. Finalize (writing-plans arm). Created + merged PR #136 via the Gitea API (gitea-api.sh; gh is GitHub-only here), synced main, deleted the branch. Archived the plan to the content repo plans/ via submit-plan.sh. No §9 (nothing executed). No make-live (no version gap). Updated memory. Published this transcript.

Key decisions

• Path-literal, not app.json. Gate on the path ~/git/wiggleverse.org (the operator's exact words, env-overridable via WGL_SESSION_ROOT), not on app-resolution — because non-app wgl repos (engineering, ohm-content) must still get the gate. Confirmed with the operator at the gate.
• Asymmetric fail-safe. The classifier returns under/outside/unknown; every consumer suppresses the session machinery only on a confident outside. On unknown (no jq, unreadable cwd, unresolvable root) it keeps today's behavior — a false outside (dropping the gate in a real repo) is strictly worse than a false under (gating a non-wgl repo, which just routes to wgl-session-none, the status quo).
• Finalize-hook guards are explicit-but-redundant. Outside the root nothing is claimed, so no placeholder exists and the finalize hooks already no-op; T3 makes the rule explicit and uniform, honoring the request's "(and don't need finalizing)" clause. Flagged as droppable if the operator wanted the change minimal.

Deferred decisions

• No Gitea issue filed for this leaf task (operator chose writing-plans/leaf at the gate); anchored on the launch prompt. An issue could be filed retroactively if a tracker record is wanted.

Next session

/goal Execute the pwd-gating plan: wgl-executing-plans against content plans/2026-06-26-gate-session-on-pwd-under-wgl-root.md

Builds hooks/under-session-root.sh + wires hooks/session-start and the two finalize hooks; CLAUDE.md docs; version bump 0.60.0→0.61.0; lint.sh --check-bump; make the shipped pin live at finalize.
