Session 0069.0 — Transcript

App: ohm (rfc-app framework repo, ben.stull/rfc-app) Start: 2026-06-03T20-45 (PST, estimated — session did not run the init claim) End: 2026-06-04T00-36 (PST) Goal: Figure out what's needed to get the bdd "planner" live, and make real progress on §22 M3. Outcome: M3-0 (test foundation) built + merged to main (PR #9); the two parallel M3 efforts reconciled; M3-frontend designed (PR #10, plan deferred). Planner not yet live — critical path clarified.

Plan

The session had no pre-claimed plan. It evolved through three nested skill flows:

Triage "what's next for the planner" → it needs §22 M3.
brainstorming → writing-plans → subagent-driven-development on M3-0 (the §10.3 Tier-1 test foundation), the parallelizable foundation slice.
Reconcile with a concurrent M3-backend session, then brainstorm + spec M3-frontend (plan intentionally deferred).

Pre-session state

§22 M1+M2 merged to main (1dab24e); v0.32.0. M3 not started by this session.
The framework had no frontend test tooling, no Docker, no e2e, no PPE (all greenfield).
A parallel session was (unknown at start) about to work the backend half of M3 on branch m3-backend-registry-spine.

Turn-by-turn arc (wrong turns included, per protocol)

"What's next to get the planner live at /bdd/{PLANNER_TOKEN}/?" Explored: bdd is a project type; the planner is a bdd project. The literal URL /bdd/{TOKEN}/ did not match §22's /p/<project>/ design or any token feature. Surfaced the mismatch → user confirmed: an unlisted project at /p/bdd/, no token feature. Answer: needs M3 (registry+routing+branding), then M5 for bdd surfaces.
/executing-plans M3 — but there was no implementation plan, only the §22 roadmap slice. Correctly stopped instead of bulldozing, and redirected to brainstorming → writing-plans first.
Brainstormed M3. Found 3 decisions already resolved upstream (ad2ece1). Decomposed M3 into M3-0 (test foundation) + M3a–M3d sequential sub-plans. Decided: hard-cut branding + loud fail; §4.1 reconciler pattern; OHM is Stage 1 (table rebuild OK as one migration). Wrote M3 design doc (7703fa2 → main).
Test-strategy generalization. User wanted all test levels + Docker + PPE for all real apps. Discovered the handbook §10.3 already defines two-tier testing (local Docker → PPE). Concluded: don't duplicate the standard into per-repo memory; activate it via a SessionStart hook in the dev plugin (spun off as a task chip). Refined "all critical knowledge in the hook" → "hook as a compact, deterministic router." app.json has no app-type field (discriminator = "deploys the §8 stack", not contains: code).
Wrote the M3-0 plan. Resolved the one architecture fork: real disposable Gitea in the Docker stack (not a stub), because PPE Tier-2 also uses real Gitea → identical suite behavior across tiers (§10.3's goal).
Executed M3-0 subagent-driven (8 tasks; per-task spec + quality review). The live bring-up caught three real bugs no unit/build check would: missing COPY VERSION (backend crash), Gitea CLI refusing root (user: git), and a .PHONY no-op shadowing make e2e. Verified green twice.
Concurrency discovery (a real hazard, caught): the shared checkout's branch had switched under me to m3-backend-registry-spine, and my M3-0 plan commit had landed on that branch. Stopped, isolated M3-0 into its own worktree off main, cherry-picked the plan commit, left the parallel session's checkout untouched.
Finished M3-0: pushed, opened + merged PR #9 → main f1b03df (real Gitea PR via the wgl-gitea-admin secure-token helper). Removed the merged worktree.
Reconciled with the M3-backend spec. Their decomposition (backend/frontend seam + Plan A/Plan B split) is better than our M3a/M3b lumping (PK rebuilds + writer-threading deferred to right-before-M4). Adopted it. Resolved the one conflict — versioning: bump per breaking slice (supersedes the "one bump at M7" plan). Updated memory.
Brainstormed M3-frontend. Pinned: keep BrowserRouter+nested Routes + DeploymentProvider/ProjectLayout; N=1 / redirects to the sole visible project; real server-side 308 redirects; VITE_APP_NAME hard cut (brandTitle fallback); theme via setProperty; philosophy deferred (no backend pointer). Surfaced honest low-confidence concerns: the unscoped-calls footgun → a guard placeholder; and that M3-frontend is not the critical path (Plan B is). Wrote the spec (PR #10) and deferred the implementation plan (don't plan against unbuilt APIs).
Meanwhile the parallel session finished M3-backend Plan A (434 tests, v0.33.0, ready to integrate, not merged) — memory was jointly updated to reflect it.

Cut state (end of session)

Artifact	State
`main`	`f1b03df` — PR #9 merged (M3-0 test foundation + M3 design/plan docs)
`feat/m3-frontend`	`87ddb84`, PR #10 open (M3-frontend design spec, doc only) — worktree kept
`m3-backend-registry-spine`	parallel session's; Plan A implemented, NOT merged (not mine); has an uncommitted `CLAUDE.md` edit (theirs — left untouched)
Memory	`project_rfc_app_multiproject.md` updated (M3-0 landed, reconciliation, versioning decision, M3-frontend status, Plan A status)
Spun-off task	chip: `SessionStart` router hook in the dev plugin to activate §10.3

M3-0 deliverables on main: Vitest unit harness; testing/ 4-service docker compose (backend + nginx SPA + seeded real Gitea + Mailpit); e2e/ Playwright (BASE_URL + Mailpit OTC login) + smoke spec; Make targets tier1-up/down/logs, e2e, e2e-install, fe-unit.

What lands on the operator's plate

Integrate M3-backend Plan A to main (ready; parallel session's branch) — the gating step.
Then write + execute the M3-frontend plan from its spec, on the M3-0 harness.
Decide PR #10 (M3-frontend spec): merge now vs with the implementation.
PPE standup (flotilla rfc-app-ppe.<base>) for the Tier-2 e2e gate.
The SessionStart hook chip (dev plugin + handbook §10.3 activation).
Assign the 308-redirect ownership seam (FastAPI route + nginx rule, needs DEFAULT_PROJECT_ID).

Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

Resume rfc-app §22 M3. Read memory first:
~/.claude/projects/.../memory/project_rfc_app_multiproject.md

State: M3-0 (test foundation) merged to main (PR #9, f1b03df). M3-backend Plan A
is IMPLEMENTED on branch m3-backend-registry-spine (434 tests green, VERSION
0.33.0) but NOT merged. M3-frontend is DESIGNED (PR #10; spec at
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-03-m3-frontend-design.md), plan deferred.

First move: integrate M3-backend Plan A to main via
superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch (review the branch, then PR/merge —
its memory note says ready). THEN, with /api/deployment + /api/projects/:id on
main, write the M3-frontend implementation plan from its spec (writing-plans)
and execute it via subagent-driven-development on the M3-0 Tier-1 harness.

Don't: write the M3-frontend plan before Plan A is merged (don't plan against an
unmerged branch); don't touch the m3-backend session's uncommitted CLAUDE.md
edit unless you're the one finishing it.
