Launch prompt

/goal We need the ability for businesses to join a Space. The scenario here is a business joins the Philadelphia Farmers Markets and is able to do certain things like say they’ll be at a market on a certain day. A custom module in the Philadelphia Farmers Market space allows people to search for products in the context of an event (a specific day when a specific market will be operating), which will search across all businesses that are attending that market. An individual should be able to follow the business, the space, or interact in a read-only public mode with the space

Pre-state

• main at a7ca774 — session 0004 (Businesses D18–D21, spec v0.2.0) merged; tree clean.
• Claim-time dry-run showed no concurrent in-progress sessions (session 0006 started later and finished first — see the merge note below).
• Spec: specs/hearth-platform-v1.md v0.2.0, status: proposed; §6 flagged for tech-design. Prototype: PFM space existed shopper-side only (weekend markets, Headhouse lineup with bringing-lists, per-space follow toasts).

Arc

1. Init. Classified the /goal as brainstorming; claimed session 0005 (careful posture). Single-repo app: content role resolves to this repo, no roadmap/BDD repos. Branch session-0005.
2. Framing + decision checkpoints (AskUserQuestion, operator-answered):
   • Deliverable: spec accretion (v0.3.0) + prototype iteration (session-0004 pattern).
   • D22 — first-class BusinessMembership (Space × Business): the business itself is the member; admitted per space rules; survives operator churn. Rejected: presence derived from an operator's membership.
   • D23 — event-scoped search searches the full catalogs of attending businesses (operator chose over bringing-manifest indexing), packaged as a community-composed module ("Market Finder") reading Market Day's attendance. Bringing lists stay lineup copy (→ Q12).
   • D24 — graded connection: visit → follow → join for spaces (follower = public posts + event announcements in the unified feed, no persona, no signature); business follows are root-level; counts private (INV-11).
   • D25 — attendance confirm/withdraw on both surfaces (Manage-business ▸ Markets and the space vendor view), one object, two names.
3. Spec draft — accreted v0.3.0 into specs/hearth-platform-v1.md: PP-10, BUC-10/11/12, PUC-17/18/19, Follower persona, §5 surfaces, §6 coherence rows (BusinessMembership, SpaceFollow, business-root Relationship scope, Event attendance note, §6.5 follower footnote, v0.3.0 tech-design flag), F4/F12 contents, PM-8/TEL-8, traceability rows, D22–D25, Q12/Q13, glossary.
4. Prototype iteration — PFM vendor-operator banner; Market Finder (event picker + live search across attending businesses' catalogs only, honest empty state); Marsh Chairs in the Headhouse lineup; Vendors panel (admitted-by lines); root-level follow wording; visitor-view follow rung; business-follow feed item; Market Finder registry tile; Manage-business ▸ Markets (confirm/withdraw). Headless Playwright smoke tests clean.
5. Review round 1 — operator: "Where do I demonstrate how a business joins a Space?" Follow-up question timed out (operator away); proceeded with the recommended clickable join walkthrough (apply → pending → steward admits, demo stand-in business Fern Hollow Mushrooms) — logged as a deferred decision, later ratified.
6. Review round 2 — operator chose "Also build the steward queue": added the Steward's desk (vendor-applications queue: AI-assist lines, human-only admit/waitlist/decline, curation call handed to the human, audit-and-appeal framing). Smoke-tested.
7. Approval — operator: "approved" (covering merge, spec submit, demo publish).
8. Finalize — merging hit the concurrent session 0006 (Filters + Studio, merged to main mid-session, 9 commits, same prototype file). Resolved three conflict hunks: Market Finder registry tile gained data-searchable; module-studio links follow 0006's studio rename; both JS blocks kept. Post-merge smoke tests: all 0005 beats work, 0005's tile filters correctly in 0006's registry search, zero console/page errors. Merged at b660081; branch deleted. Spec submitted (status: proposed, idempotent — already in place). Demo published to https://hearth-demo.wiggleverse.org and verified (sha256 match, HTTP 200).

Cut state

• main = b660081, clean, pushed. Spec v0.3.0 proposed; demo live.
• No worktree (session predated the worktree policy 0006 added to CLAUDE.md).
• Engineering contracts (featuring + membership/attendance lifecycle, Q12 bringing manifests, Q13 event recurrence) deferred to tech-design by design.
• Session 0006's Filters/Studio surfaces are not yet in the spec — parked as the next goal (v0.4.0 fold), single-slot in project memory.

Deferred decisions

• Join walkthrough built without confirmation. At review, the operator asked "Where do I demonstrate how a business joins a Space?"; the follow-up question (narrated join vs. clickable walkthrough vs. + steward queue) timed out with no answer. Proceeded with the recommended middle option: an inline apply → pending → steward-admits walkthrough in the PFM Vendors panel, played with a demo stand-in business (Fern Hollow Mushrooms); D25's wording updated to match. Effectively ratified: the operator returned, asked for the steward queue on top, and approved the whole draft.

Operator plate

• Nothing blocking. Optional: review the two steward-desk sample applications' copy (Fern Hollow, Bitter Greens) live on the demo.

Next-session prompt

/goal Fold the session-0006 Filters + Studio decisions into specs/hearth-platform-v1.md as a v0.4.0 delta (filter model + floor constraint + profile scope + Studio naming as new D-log entries; update §5 UX prose; retire the §5.1 Design-artifact mirror line per the no-Design policy) — design-track touch; tech-design of the Businesses engineering lens follows it
