Session 0041.0 — Transcript

App: ecomm Start: 2026-06-22T07-06 (PST) End: 2026-06-22T07-38 (PST) Type: capture Posture: careful Claude-Session: af2d41d5-d230-4086-a383-1e5f5826db6b Status: FINALIZED

Date: 2026-06-22 (PST) Goal: Turn the operator's "SDL pipeline refactor — design brief (target state)" into typed, source-linked Gitea backlog issues. Outcome: Done. 6 issues filed (1 Epic + 5 Features) across two trackers, fully cross-linked; the brief published to wiggleverse/engineering main (PR #62, merged) and linked as Source on every issue.

Launch prompt

# SDL pipeline refactor — design brief (target state)

Restructure the Wiggleverse SDLC into a staged, gated pipeline where every
artifact handoff is a review gate. Built with TODAY's five session types — the
new session types don't exist yet (bootstrap).
[... full brief preserved; see docs/sdl-pipeline-refactor-brief.md in
wiggleverse/engineering, which is the verbatim source of record ...]

(Session opened as: CAPTURE — turn this brief into typed, source-linked Gitea issues.)

Followed mid-session by the operator's refined filing directive: file the Epic "Restructure the SDLC into a staged, gated pipeline" on the dev-claude-plugin tracker decomposing into 5 named Features; save the brief to engineering/docs/sdl-pipeline-refactor-brief.md and link it as the source on each; note that F1 is engineering-repo work and the rest dev-plugin work.

Plan

Capture flow (wgl-capture, careful posture): claim tracked-lite transcript → resolve target → assemble/size the asks against handbook §4.3 → draft each issue in reviewable form → operator-approved decomposition → file → type-fit check → clean up drafts → finalize.

Pre-session state

Launched in an isolated worktree of wiggleverse-ecomm-content (charming-rosalind-9575d0), clean on claude/charming-rosalind-9575d0.
The SDLC refactor was un-captured; no Epic/Features existed; no brief on disk.
Four unrelated unfiled s42-* drafts already sat in the dev-plugin content repo's issues/ (a prior session's leftovers).

Turn-by-turn arc

Session gate. Classified the opening brief; two types plausible (brainstorming vs planning-and-executing). Asked the operator → Capture. Invoked wgl-capture; claimed ecomm-0041 (capture, careful).
Target resolution. ecomm's app.json declares no tracker, and the work is plugin + handbook tooling, not ecomm product — a target override (PUC-2). First operator answer chose "split: plugin + engineering" trackers.
Decomposition. Sized the brief against §4.3 → an Epic + candidate Features. Flagged the rolling-wave tension (carve one Feature vs file all). Operator chose Epic + all Features (eyes-open, brief is locked).
First draft set (4 Features) written, presented for VS Code review.
Refined directive. Operator restated: Epic on dev-plugin, 5 Features (added F5 "wiring"; F3 reframed as a new gate-lifter session), save+link the brief, annotate work-repo. Re-asked two forks → publish brief via branch/PR/I merge, and tracker = split (F1 → engineering tracker; Epic + F2–F5 → dev-plugin), work-repo noted on each.
Brief published. Branch docs/sdl-pipeline-refactor-brief on engineering → PR #62 → merged (used the repo-scoped Keychain token via gitea-api.sh; the issue-scoped token 403s on /pulls). Brief live on engineering main.
Issues filed. Epic #125 (dev-plugin) first; then F1 engineering#63 (cross-tracker parent ref), F2 #126, F3 #127, F4 #128, F5 #129. All typecheck:ok (judged 6, mismatch 0). Epic decomposition backfilled with child numbers.
One self-inflicted scare, fixed. The first Epic-body backfill PATCH hit a heredoc/stdin clash and wiped Epic #125's body (len 1). Caught it on the verify, restored the full body (8272 chars) from the draft via a file-based PATCH, verified.
Cleanup. Deleted the 6 filed drafts (INV-8). Finalized (this transcript).

Cut state (end of session)

Filed: Epic dev-plugin#125; F1 engineering#63; F2 #126; F3 #127; F4 #128; F5 #129. All carry type + priority + Parent #125 + Work-repo + Source link.
Brief: docs/sdl-pipeline-refactor-brief.md on engineering main (PR #62 merged; branch deleted). Engineering local clone back on main, clean.
Session repo (ecomm-content worktree): clean, no commits, nothing to land.
Drafts: 6 SDLC drafts deleted (filed). 4 unfiled s42-* drafts remain — resumable next session, untouched (not this session's).
Memory: added sdl-pipeline-refactor-captured.md + index line + Next /goal.

What lands on the operator's plate

Nothing blocking. The backlog is filed and visible on both trackers.
The six issues are priority provisional (WSJF best-effort) — re-rank at triage if desired.
F1 (engineering#63) is the docs-lead spine and blocks F2–F5 — it should be the first to move.

Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

/goal Start F1 of the SDLC pipeline refactor — handbook reconciliation in
wiggleverse/engineering (issue #63). Brainstorm/plan the §3.3 accretion rule,
the §4.3 slice-retirement (Feature = one SPEC = one plan = one execution; Stories
become standalone leaf issues, R2(b)), the solution-design GUIDE/TEMPLATE updates,
and the documented home of the Claude-Design-vs-Code decision. Source of record:
engineering docs/sdl-pipeline-refactor-brief.md. This is the docs-lead spine that
F2–F5 (dev-plugin #126–129) cite — land it first.

Deferred decisions

None — careful posture; every fork was put to the operator (session type, tracker split, decomposition cut, brief-publish method).
