Session 0020.0 — Transcript

App: engineering Date: 2026-06-11, 08:55–09:08 PST Type: planning-and-executing Claude-Session: 2870e912-98db-4f6c-b95c-02ccf86b32b8 Goal: Execute engineering#43 — amend handbook §9/§10 with the Phase-1 rollout story, reconciling §6.5/§10.5 and syncing the tier-1 digest, per the issue's acceptance list. Outcome: Shipped. PR #52 merged to main (d1c38eb); #43 closed with acceptance mapping; plan archived (446b31a).

Launch prompt

/goal Execute engineering#43 — amend handbook §9/§10 with the Phase-1 rollout story (continuous autonomous PPE + release tag per deploy, human-only prod promotion, fix-forward, done-vs-shipped), reconciling §6.5/§10.5 and syncing the tier-1 digest, per the issue's acceptance list

Plan

Anchor: #43 (wiggleverse/engineering, type/story priority/P1 — ELIGIBLE R2b) Plan doc: plans/2026-06-11-phase1-rollout-handbook.md (archived to the content target at finalize; authored in worktree branch worktree-issue-43-phase1-rollout, merged as issue-43-phase1-rollout-story)

1. Add §9.1 "The Phase-1 rollout: continuous PPE, human-gated prod" to handbook README.md (+ ToC entry): continuous autonomous PPE, release tag per PPE deploy (release/<YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM>), human-only prod promotion of a validated tag, fix-forward (no revert on main), done-vs-shipped.
2. Reconcile §9 pipeline bullets ("prod." + "Forward-only fixes") to cite §9.1.
3. Reconcile §6.5: autonomous "deploy" ends at PPE; prod promotion is the operator's gate.
4. Reconcile §10.5: rollback is prod-traffic-only (weight→0 on a promoted tag); PPE failures fix forward.
5. Sync tier-1 digest agent-context.md (autonomous-by-default, ppe-before-prod, §9 digest paragraph).
6. Verify cross-references, PR → merge, close #43, finalize.

Pre-session state

• main clean and even with origin/main at 5c2617d (PR #51 merge — solution-design authoring docs).
• engineering#43 open (type/story, P1), filed by capture session 0019 (2026-06-10) with a full acceptance list; memory resume pointer named it as the next /goal.
• Three live concurrent engineering sessions in flight at claim time (0009, 0017, 0018) — none overlapping this work surface (handbook §9/§10).
• Plugin cache lag noticed at SessionStart: running v0.48.0, v0.50.0 shipped.

Turn-by-turn arc

1. Init. Classified as planning-and-executing; claimed session 0020 (atomic push e2e38ea). Dry-run peek surfaced the three live sessions → per the §5.4/Step-6b mandate, isolated in a native worktree (.claude/worktrees/issue-43-phase1-rollout, branch worktree-issue-43-phase1-rollout). Baseline verified clean. Anchor gate: #43 → ELIGIBLE: type/story (R2b).
2. Plan. Fetched #43 from Gitea; read handbook §6.5/§9/§10 whole. Wrote the just-in-time plan (superpowers:writing-plans) with full replacement prose inline; self-reviewed against the acceptance list — all six acceptance bullets mapped. Seeded the transcript ## Plan block; checkpointed.
3. Execute (superpowers:executing-plans, inline — see Deferred decisions):
   • 2c7c8ea — §9.1 subsection added + ToC entry.
   • 869e905 — §9 "prod." bullet names human-only promotion of a validated tag; forward-only-fixes bullet carries PPE fix-forward.
   • cb56fed — §6.5 stop-line: autonomous "deploy" runs the pipeline through PPE; prod promotion is the operator's single human gate.
   • 3b0f60f — §10.5 scoped: both signals govern prod traffic on an already-promoted tag; PPE failures never reach the rollback machinery.
   • a39ec22 — tier-1 digest synced (autonomous-by-default deploy-through-PPE-only qualifier; ppe-before-prod Phase-1 split appended; §9 digest paragraph) + plan doc committed.
4. Verify. Grep cross-reference checks: §9.1 cited from §6.5, §9 bullets, §10.5, and the digest; tag convention release/<YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM> identical in both files; amended §9 region re-read whole — no contradiction with §10.6 ("not yet built") or §8.5.
5. Ship. Pushed as issue-43-phase1-rollout-story; PR #52 created via Gitea API and merged (merge commit d1c38eb, branch deleted). #43 auto-closed by the PR's Closes #43; posted acceptance-mapping comment (id 1576). Canonical checkout fast-forwarded so the live ~/.claude/wiggleverse.md digest serves the amended text immediately. Memory updated (project_phase1_rollout.md + MEMORY.md line). Checkpoint published (d87aa52).
6. Finalize. Plan archived via submit-plan.sh → plans/2026-06-11-phase1-rollout-handbook.md on main (446b31a). Pipeline status: meta/docs change, no deployable app surface — no §9 stage to run; the handbook ships by merge. Worktree torn down (HEAD verified ancestor of origin/main before removal). Plugin pin updated v0.48.0 → v0.50.0 (new sessions only). Transcript finalized and published (this file).

Tree clean, main even with origin/main at 446b31a. Nothing in flight from this session.

Deferred decisions

• Tag convention stated as policy: annotated tag release/<YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM> (PST, minute precision — the session-transcript clock convention) on the exact ref deployed to PPE; the deploy gesture stamps it (the session by hand today, flotilla once the automation lands). The issue left naming + stamper open ("can be stated as policy now"); picked the convention that reuses the org's existing timestamp idiom rather than semver, since Phase-1 tags name deploys, not versioned releases. Operator may want semver or an app-scoped prefix instead.
• Inline execution (executing-plans) over subagent-driven: small single-file-pair docs amendment; per-task subagents would add overhead without review value.

What lands on the operator's plate

• React to the tag convention if desired — release/<YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM> is now handbook policy (§9.1); flag if semver or an app-scoped prefix is preferred before any flotilla automation hardens it.
• Restart or /clear to load plugin v0.50.0 (this session ran v0.48.0).
• Sessions 0009 / 0017 / 0018 remain --INPROGRESS (not this session's to adopt — they were live at claim time).

Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

/goal Brainstorm engineering#44 — Solution Design for the two-tier E2E gate machinery (hermetic local harness per merge + same suite on PPE per deploy), handbook §10.3 as primary input
