Session 0006.0 — Transcript

App: dev-claude-plugin Date: 2026-06-03 (PST), 19:00–20:19 Goal: Make wgl-coding-session-init memory-aware and concurrency-safe, and add a hard session gate that holds work until a session is declared. Outcome: Shipped. Two features merged direct to main (a695c55); plugin bumped 0.5.1 → 0.7.0. Source-only — takes effect on re-install.

Plan

Three pieces of work, claimed retroactively at finalize (the session opened via /superpowers:executing-plans, not wgl-coding-session-init, so no ID was claimed up front):

wgl-coding-session-init: read repo memory to emit a /executing-plans resume line; warn + gate before starting a session concurrent with an unfinalized one (yolo warns but proceeds).
A session-start gate that errors on any prompt until wgl-coding-session-init / wgl-spec-session-init / wgl-session-ignore is invoked; plus the new wgl-session-ignore opt-out skill.
Finalize: land the work and record it.

Pre-session state

main at 496a97c (PR #2 merged earlier 2026-06-03). Working tree clean.
Source plugin.json version 0.5.1; installed/running plugin cache lagging at 0.3.0 (the recurring install-lag gotcha).
wgl-coding-session-init had 8 steps; Step 3 claimed the ID, Step 4 surfaced in-flight sessions, Step 8 proposed a roadmap /goal. No hooks in the plugin.
Only the coding session variants exist (-init / -finalize / -yolo); wgl-spec-session-init is referenced in docs but unbuilt.

Turn-by-turn arc

/superpowers:executing-plans with args: make init read memory for the next step and emit /executing-plans Next part of plan…, and warn/ask before starting a session while another is in flight (yolo: warn but proceed).
- Read init + yolo + finalize-core + claim-session-id.sh. Found the claim script's --dry-run already lists active --INPROGRESS sessions before the push — so the concurrency gate could run pre-claim, avoiding an orphan placeholder if the operator declines.
- Restructured Step 3 into 3a peek (dry-run) → 3b gate (warn; ask unless yolo) → 3c claim, folding the old "surface in-flight" Step 4 in. Added a new Step 7 that reads auto-memory and emits the /executing-plans line, taking precedence over the roadmap /goal (now Step 8). Renumbered; net step count unchanged so "Step 8" cross-refs held. Updated frontmatter + docs table. Bumped 0.5.1 → 0.6.0.
- Operator: "branch, commit, and push." → branch feat/init-concurrency-gate-and-memory-resume, commit 0e24322, pushed.
"Update the plugin main skill md" to add the gate + create wgl-session-ignore.
- Surfaced the real constraint: there is no "main skill md," and a skill body can't gate the first prompt (it only loads once invoked). The gate must ride in on session start. Asked the operator where it should live → SessionStart hook (plugin).
- Modeled the hook on the superpowers plugin's working SessionStart hook (hooks/hooks.json is auto-discovered; no plugin.json entry needed). Built hooks/hooks.json (matcher startup|clear so compaction never re-gates), hooks/session-start (reads gate md → emits hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext, validated as JSON), and hooks/session-gate.md (the rule + exact error string, "or or" typo fixed to "or"). Created skills/wgl-session-ignore/SKILL.md. Updated README + CLAUDE.md; bumped 0.6.0 → 0.7.0.
- Operator: "yes. Same branch." → commit 8d43833, pushed (stacked).
/wgl-coding-session-finalize.
- Survey: branch clean + pushed, 2 commits ahead of main, no PR. gh not installed (Gitea host anyway; no tea/glab either). No transcript claimed this session.
- Operator chose merge to main now. Merged --no-ff → a695c55, pushed main, deleted the feature branch (local + remote). Updated memory. Operator opted to create the transcript with start ~19:00.

Wrong turns / friction (kept, no curation)

Assumed gh for PR survey; it isn't installed and this is Gitea — pivoted to the operator-choice flow for landing the branch.
Mistyped hooks.json for hooks/hooks.json in a json.tool validation command (FileNotFoundError); re-ran with the correct path, valid.

Cut state (end of session)

Repo wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin, main synced to origin:

SHA	What
`0e24322`	feat(init): concurrency gate (dry-run peek/gate/claim) + memory resume pointer; 0.5.1→0.6.0
`8d43833`	feat(gate): SessionStart session gate (`hooks/`) + `wgl-session-ignore`; 0.6.0→0.7.0
`a695c55`	Merge `feat/init-concurrency-gate-and-memory-resume` → `main` (`--no-ff`)

Feature branch deleted local + remote. feat/wgl-dev-handbook-skill still on origin — unrelated, untouched.
plugin.json version 0.7.0 on main. Installed cache still 0.3.0 — the gate and new init behavior are NOT live until re-install.
session-history: 0006 claimed at 5e51942 (placeholder), finalized + published by this transcript.

What lands on the operator's plate

Re-install the plugin (/plugin marketplace update + /plugin install) to make 0.7.0 live — including the SessionStart gate, which then fires on every session machine-wide. wgl-session-ignore is the opt-out for non-wgl work.
Build wgl-spec-session-init — the gate's error names it as a valid session declaration, but only the coding variants exist.
Standing follow-ups: dev-env CLI app.json verb (create-app-json.md points at a verb that doesn't exist); a permissions.allow carve-out for …/projects/**/memory/** so memory writes don't need Bash.

Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

Re-install the wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin (it's at 0.7.0 on main, cache is 0.3.0)
so the new SessionStart session gate goes live, then verify the gate fires and that
/wgl-session-ignore lifts it. Then build wgl-spec-session-init — the gate's error
names it as a valid session declaration but only the coding-session variants exist.
