Session 0025.0 — Transcript

App: engineering Start: 2026-06-22T07-40 (PST) Type: planning-and-executing Posture: yolo Claude-Session: 3141c3a0-ef70-4f90-9c36-f82858f08d3a End: 2026-06-22T08-05 (PST) Status: FINALIZED.

Cross-repo session: launched from the dev-claude-plugin worktree; work-repo is wiggleverse/engineering (handbook). Anchor: the locked design brief docs/sdl-pipeline-refactor-brief.md (R2a).

Session arc (turn-by-turn)

Gate + init. Classified the /goal launch as planning-and-executing. Claimed engineering session 0025 (--repo engineering); peeked 4 stale orphan --INPROGRESS placeholders (0009/0017/0021/0024, 9–12d old — not live, noted & left). Verified clean main. Eligibility: ELIGIBLE via R2a on the brief (a bare type/feature #63 is R3-ineligible).
Orientation. Read the brief (locked decisions) + the current state of handbook §3.3/§4.3, solution-design GUIDE/TEMPLATE, claude-design-vs-code.md. Swept all "slice" usage → found it load-bearing across README §3.3/§4/§4.3/§7/ §10 + GUIDE/TEMPLATE §7. Resolved scope: F1 is the only engineering-touching Feature (F2–F5 are dev-claude-plugin), so the full handbook sweep happens here for internal consistency.
INCIDENT (caught + fixed). First checkpoint ran publish-transcript.sh without --repo; cwd-resolution mis-published 0025 into dev-claude-plugin/ and git-rm'd a real June-7 transcript on a same-ordinal collision. Reverted + re-pushed the session-history remote, republished correctly with --repo. Plugin foot-gun flagged via spawn_task (resolve app from staging path, scope same-ordinal replacement to one app).
Execute. Reconciled 5 files (README, agent-context digest, GUIDE, TEMPLATE, claude-design-vs-code) — accretion model, slice-retirement, §7 restructure + renumber, **Design:** field relocation to §5.1.
Verify + ship. Residual-slice grep (only intentional naming left), table column + §7.x cross-ref checks. Committed, PR engineering #64, merged to main, #63 auto-closed, branch deleted, local main synced.
Finalize. Base survey clean; no plan artifact to archive (prose reconciliation, not a writing-plans doc); docs-only → no §9 pipeline stage; memory + transcript.

The full, uncurated turn-by-turn (every tool call and wrong turn — incl. the mis-publish) is the session conversation log; this is the protocol record.

Launch prompt

Start F1 of the SDLC pipeline refactor — handbook reconciliation in
wiggleverse/engineering (issue #63 on the dev-claude-plugin tracker): §3.3
accretion, §4.3 slice-retirement (Feature = one SPEC = one plan = one execution;
Stories become standalone leaf issues, R2(b)), solution-design GUIDE/TEMPLATE
updates, and the documented home of the Claude-Design-vs-Code decision.
Source: engineering docs/sdl-pipeline-refactor-brief.md (decisions locked).
It's the docs-lead spine F2–F5 cite — first.

Plan

Anchor: design docs/sdl-pipeline-refactor-brief.md (R2a — locked Solution-Design brief; eligibility ELIGIBLE). Work repo: wiggleverse/engineering. Feature #63 on the dev-claude-plugin tracker. Branch: feat/sdlc-f1-handbook-reconciliation.

F1 — Handbook reconciliation for the staged-gate SDLC pipeline. Reconcile the canonical engineering docs to the brief's locked decisions. F1 is the only Feature touching engineering (F2–F5 are dev-claude-plugin), so the full handbook sweep happens here or never — internal consistency is required, not optional.

Deliverables (per brief §F1):

§3.3 accretion (README) — the Solution Design is authored by ACCRETION: each design-track lens (business → product → engineering) is written into the same growing SPEC at its own gated stage; never separate brd.md/prd.md files; one coherent doc superpowers:writing-plans consumes. Reframe the Delivery row + traceability row (drop "Slice").
§4.3 reconciliation (README) — Feature = one SPEC = one plan = one execution; its internal units are the plan's Tasks (not slices/Stories). Feature→Story(slice) sub-layer retired; Stories are STANDALONE leaf issues only (R2(b)). "Slice" is not used (superpowers grain: sub-project / spec / plan / Task / Step). R1–R4 intact.
GUIDE/TEMPLATE — accretion authoring model (replaces "drafted whole, reviewed whole"); §7 Delivery Plan = rollout/launch strategy only (retire §7.2 "Slicing plan" task-checklist; renumber 7.3→7.2, 7.4→7.3); relocate the **Design:** field to §5.1 (Product lens, with the Claude-Design-vs-Code decision); drop "Slice" columns from traceability + docs tables.
Claude-Design-vs-Code home — keep §5.1 (Product/prd lens) as the documented home; note the decision is authored at the prd-lens stage under accretion.
Full slice sweep across README §4 day-to-day, §7 roadmap, §10, lifecycle tree.

Then: verify (residual-slice grep + internal §7.x ref check) → commit → PR → merge. No engineering version bump (handbook, not a semver'd plugin). No code/tests/PPE (docs-only; the pipeline's E2E/PPE gates don't apply to a prose change).

Outcome

F1 shipped. PR #64 (feat/sdlc-f1-handbook-reconciliation) merged to engineering/main at 5054465; Feature #63 ("Handbook: stage-gate the SDLC pipeline", engineering tracker) auto-closed via Fixes #63. Five files reconciled (README.md, agent-context.md, solution-design/{GUIDE,TEMPLATE,claude-design-vs-code}.md): +212/−164.

§3.3 — accretion authoring model; Delivery Plan = rollout/launch strategy, not a task list.
§4.3 — Feature = one SPEC = one plan = one execution; internal units = the plan's Tasks; Feature→Story→"slice" sub-layer retired; Stories standalone leaf issues only (R2(b)); "slice" terminology retired. R1–R4 intact.
GUIDE/TEMPLATE — accretion (replaces drafted-whole/reviewed-whole); §7 = rollout/ launch only (retired §7.2 Slicing plan; renumber 7.3→7.2, 7.4→7.3); **Design:** field relocated to §5.1 (product lens); Slice columns dropped.
claude-design-vs-code.md + agent-context.md digest reconciled.

No engineering semver bump (handbook, docs-only); no code/tests/PPE.

Eligibility: ELIGIBLE via R2a (anchored on the locked design brief; bare type/feature #63 would be R3-ineligible).

Next: F2 — wgl-brainstorming --lenses brd|prd param + per-lens accretion gates (work repo: dev-claude-plugin, per brief decomposition). F2–F5 all cite this now-shipped F1 spine.

Deferred decisions

Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls the driver made and would have liked operator input on. Appended as the session runs; surfaced at finalize. Empty if none.

Full-handbook slice sweep (scope). The brief's F1 item enumerates §3.3/§4.3/ GUIDE/TEMPLATE/claude-design-home, but "slice" is load-bearing in README §7 (roadmap) and §4 too. Since F1 is the only engineering-touching Feature, I swept all of them for internal consistency rather than leaving §7 contradicting a slice-retired §4.3. Confidence high (forced by the decomposition), logged for visibility.
INCIDENT (resolved) — cross-app mis-publish foot-gun. First checkpoint ran publish-transcript.sh WITHOUT --repo; this session's cwd is the plugin worktree (cross-repo F1: work-repo is engineering), so the script resolved the app from cwd → dev-claude-plugin, published engineering session 0025's placeholder into dev-claude-plugin/0025/, and — same-ordinal collision — git-rm'd the REAL finalized dev-claude-plugin/0025/…2026-06-07… transcript as a "stale variant", then pushed (342313d). Fixed by git revert + push (50076a4), restoring the June-7 record; republished correctly with --repo engineering (8fc43ca). Plugin bug to file: publish-transcript.sh should resolve the app from the transcript's staging path / filename app-subdir (or refuse on a cwd-vs- staging app mismatch), not silently from $PWD; and the same-ordinal "stale variant" replacement must be scoped to the SAME app, never cross-app. The init skill's checkpoint guidance should also always pass --repo for cross-repo sessions. Flagged via spawn_task.
**Design:** field relocation + plugin lag. Retiring per-slice §7.2 leaves the shipped **Design:** field (consumed by wgl-design-handoff + the design-readiness soft gate, which read it per---slice) without a slice home. I relocated it to the SPEC's §5.1 (Product lens), co-located with the Claude-Design-vs-Code decision — one SPEC = one design decision. The plugin's --slice-grained plumbing (backfill-spec-design.sh, design-readiness.sh) now lags the docs and needs a downstream reconciliation (candidate: F5 wiring / a follow-up issue). Flagged, not fixed in F1 (docs-lead-automation, §4.1).
