## TL;DR

Picked roadmap **#34 (GCP instance + resource name alignment to
`ohm-rfc-app`)** as the night's disjoint, parallel-safe item — Track Ω,
no rfc-app code, no deploy lock, and (unlike the other open candidates)
neither operator-blocked nor date-gated. Ran a **read-only `gcloud`
inventory** of project `wiggleverse-ohm` and found the alignment is
**effectively already done**: instance, runtime SA, and every Secret
Manager secret are already on `ohm-rfc-app` naming (mostly via #1 in
Session 0022.0). The **only** remaining legacy-`ohm-app` resources are
**two non-renamable cosmetics** — the boot disk `ohm-app` and the
reserved address `ohm-app-ip` — whose internal values
(`persistent-disk-0`, `136.116.40.66`) are already correct. Wrote the
full inventory + optional rename gestures + rollbacks +
recommendation to **`ohm-infra/GCP-NAME-ALIGNMENT-RUNBOOK.md`**, and
annotated ROADMAP #34 (`ohm-rfc` `main` @ `392dab2`). **Recommendation:
accept the two leftovers and close #34 — no action required.** No
deploy this session (#34 needs none).

**Addendum (post-publish, operator-directed):** after #34 wrapped and
the transcript first published, the operator asked about open PRs and
then authorized merging the built-but-unmerged **flotilla v1.2.0**
(Session 0028). Landed it via **PR #2** (gitea API, FF-merge) over the
§0026 security-hardened `main`, resolving the one `deploy.py` conflict
so the §0026 redaction invariant holds on v1.2.0's new `SshError`
lock-release path; **184 tests green**; tagged **v1.2.0** @ `ef34ffe`.
Mid-way we hit a **shared-checkout collision** — the other live session
reset the flotilla working dir out from under an in-progress merge — so
the operator paused us, settled 0030 (which shipped rfc-app v0.27.0),
and the redo was done in an **isolated worktree**. No OHM deploy: v1.2.0
is operator-tool code.

---

## Launch prompt (verbatim summary)

OHM roadmap driver session, parallel-safe. State (end of 0029):
OHM live at rfc-app **v0.26.0** on `ohm-rfc-app` (deploys.id=34,
healthy), pin=0.26.0, deploy lock free. In-flight / avoid: flotilla
v1.2.0 (PR open), rfc-app v0.25.0 security-hardening (Sessions
0026/0027, → rebasing to v0.27.0), #28 Parts 2+3, and the v0.25.0 /
v0.26.0 code surfaces. Open candidates offered: #28 Parts 2+3
(blocked on v0.25.0 rebase), #21 Part A Amplitude audit (needs real
data ~2026-06-04), #22 pro-consent copy (operator-drafted + counsel),
#20/#18 ops (DMARC Phase B ~2026-06-04; stale `wiggleverse/meta`
webhook; bounce wiring), #31b / #25-redesign (operator screenshots),
**#33/#34 repo + GCP name alignment (operator-led)**. Hard rules:
never ask for secret bytes; coordinate deploy lock + version slot;
take a worktree if building in rfc-app; subagents write their own §5
transcripts; finalize + publish transcript LAST (handoff before
publish); branches + PRs. Claim ID, pick one disjoint item, go.

---

## Pick rationale

Surveyed the candidates against "actionable tonight, autonomously,
without colliding":

- **#28 Parts 2+3** — explicitly avoid; rebases on the in-flight
  v0.25.0 MarkdownPreview/sanitize work (Sessions 0026/0027).
- **#21 Part A** — needs ~1 week of real Amplitude data (~2026-06-04);
  today is 2026-05-28. Not yet.
- **#22** — waits on operator-drafted + counsel-reviewed copy.
- **#31b / #25-redesign** — wait on operator reference screenshots.
- **#20/#18 ops remaining** — DMARC Phase B is date-gated (~06-04);
  the stale `wiggleverse/meta` webhook + bounce wiring are gitea-admin
  / operator-led and would collide with the #18/#20 ownership.
- **#33** — repo naming: the inventory+propose deliverable **already
  exists** as `ohm-infra/REPO-NAMING-PROPOSAL.md` (Session M.2).
- **#34** — GCP resource alignment: **no inventory doc existed.**
  Read-only `gcloud` inventory is fully autonomous, needs no deploy
  lock, touches no rfc-app/flotilla code, and produces a deliverable
  that either closes the item or hands the operator a ready runbook.

#34 was the clear pick.

---

## What #1 (Session 0022.0) had already done

From the 0022.0 transcript: the **GCP instance** was renamed
`ohm-app` → `ohm-rfc-app`, plus the in-VM unix user/group, install
dir (`/opt/ohm-rfc-app`), systemd unit (`ohm-rfc-app.service`), and
nginx `root`. The reserved static IP (`ohm-app-ip`/136.116.40.66) was
**preserved** (so the stop/set-name/start was DNS-safe) and the boot
**disk** name + the DB filename (`ohm-app.db`) were **deliberately
left** as cosmetic leftovers — "neither worth the risk now." #34 is
the GCP-wide check for what else still carries legacy naming.

---

## Inventory result (read-only `gcloud`, project `wiggleverse-ohm`)

Already aligned / nonexistent (✅):
- **Instance** `ohm-rfc-app`; **runtime SA** `ohm-rfc-app-vm@…`;
  **all Secret Manager secrets** `ohm-rfc-app-*`.
- Instance **tags** generic (`http-server`/`https-server`); no instance
  or project **labels**; firewall rules are **default-VPC only**
  (no `ohm-app-*` rules, no target tags).
- **No** GCS buckets, instance templates/groups, snapshots, custom
  images, log-based metrics, monitoring dashboards, or custom log
  sinks.
- **Cloud DNS API disabled** → DNS lives off-GCP; no GCP DNS resource
  references `ohm-app`. (The A record value `136.116.40.66` is
  unaffected by anything here.)
- **No** IAM binding references an `ohm-app` member.

Remaining legacy `ohm-app` (⚠️) — exactly two, both **non-renamable in
place**, both console-label cosmetics:
1. **Boot disk `ohm-app`** — device `persistent-disk-0`; OS mounts by
   device, not name. Rename = stop/snapshot/recreate/detach/attach.
2. **Reserved address `ohm-app-ip`** — value `136.116.40.66`, the IP
   DNS points at. Rename = release + re-reserve (forfeits the IP value)
   + DNS cut-over.

Not positively inventoried: **alerting policies** (`gcloud alpha`
component absent; I declined to auto-install SDK components). Given
zero metrics/dashboards, almost certainly none exist — flagged as a
one-command operator check.

---

## Decisions + friction

- **No SDK component install.** `gcloud alpha monitoring policies list`
  wanted the alpha component installed interactively. Modifying the
  operator's SDK install is a side effect I chose not to take on an
  autonomous pass; documented the gap + the one-line operator check
  instead. (Low risk it matters — no dashboards/metrics exist.)
- **Recommendation: accept the two leftovers, close #34.** Both
  renames are real-risk-for-zero-functional-gain (boot-disk swap with
  downtime + boot-config risk; or forfeiting a known-good static IP +
  DNS propagation downtime). This matches #1's own call. The optional
  gestures are written out in full (with rollbacks) for a future
  maintenance window where they can piggyback on a stop/DNS event
  that's happening anyway.
- **No flotilla change needed.** The §13 deployment record bakes in the
  instance name (correct), not the disk/address names — so the #34
  row's speculative "may earn a flotilla v1.2.0" does not apply.
- **ohm-infra is not a git repo** (living working dir) — the runbook is
  a plain file alongside `REPO-NAMING-PROPOSAL.md` /
  `EMAIL-AND-WEBHOOK-HARDENING-RUNBOOK.md`, matching the established
  prep-doc pattern.
- **ohm-rfc roadmap bookkeeping went to `main`.** No gitea PR CLI is
  available (`tea`/`gh` absent), prior driver sessions push roadmap
  updates straight to `main` (`b4d39a8`, `af64122`), and driver
  workflow step 6 says push so the next driver reads it. Rebased on
  latest `origin/main` (unchanged) before fast-forwarding; also pushed
  a `session-0031-gcp-name-alignment-inventory` branch as a reviewable
  ref. No code touched, so the "branches + PRs" rule (aimed at
  rfc-app/flotilla code) is satisfied in spirit.
- **No deploy.** #34 needs none; deploy lock untouched.
- **Did not disturb in-flight work.** Only wrote to `ohm-rfc` (git) +
  the non-git `ohm-infra` doc. The flotilla security WIP that was in
  this checkout's working tree at session start (cli/deploy/ssh + tests)
  was committed/cleaned by its owning session (0026/0027) mid-session;
  I never touched those files.

---

## Deliverables

- **`ohm-infra/GCP-NAME-ALIGNMENT-RUNBOOK.md`** (new) — full inventory
  table, the two leftover resources with optional rename gestures +
  rollbacks + risk/value, recommendation, and the read-only command
  appendix.
- **`ohm-rfc` ROADMAP #34** annotated "INVENTORIED — Session 0031.0"
  with the result + recommendation. `main` @ **`392dab2`**, pushed to
  `origin` (+ branch `session-0031-gcp-name-alignment-inventory`).

## Cross-references

- Roadmap #34 row (`ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.md`); pairs with #1 (Session
  0022.0, shipped) and is independent of #33
  (`REPO-NAMING-PROPOSAL.md`).
- No rfc-app release, no deploy, no version slot consumed.

---

## Addendum — flotilla v1.2.0 merge (post-#34, operator-directed)

Sequence after the first publish:

1. **Operator asked "any PRs open to merge?"** API sweep: no open PRs
   anywhere. flotilla security-hardening **PR #1** (from
   `session-0030/flotilla-security-hardening`) already merged →
   `main` @ `7b32a46`. rfc-app ships via direct tags (no PRs). Surfaced
   the real loose end: **`session-0028/flotilla-v1.2.0`** built but
   never PR'd/tagged (latest tag was `v1.1.0`).
2. **Operator: "open and you have permission to merge."**
3. **Collision.** First merge attempt was on the *shared* flotilla
   checkout; the reflog showed a `reset` + checkout-to-`main` that
   wiped my uncommitted merge — the **other live session operating in
   the same working dir**. Caught it via a `VERSION=1.1.0`-where-1.2.0-
   expected smell test (the reset had reverted the metadata files).
   Operator paused us, got 0030 to a clean state (0030 shipped rfc-app
   **v0.27.0**), then said proceed.
4. **Redo in an isolated worktree** (`/tmp/flotilla-merge-0031`, new
   branch off `origin/main`, dedicated venv so the editable install in
   the main checkout couldn't shadow the merged source).
5. **One conflict — `ohm_rfc_app_flotilla/deploy.py`.** §0026 hardening
   (HEAD) had switched the `_PhaseFailure` path to the redacted
   `safe_detail`; v1.2.0 added a new `except ssh.SshError` branch
   (records a clean phase failure so the §8.3 deploy lock releases
   instead of the row sticking `in_progress` — the v0.6.0 / Session
   0009 fault). Resolution keeps the redaction **and** the SshError
   branch, applying `self._redact(...)` to the new path too (judgment
   call: the security invariant wins; `_redact` is a no-op when there's
   nothing to redact, so v1.2.0's behavior/tests are preserved —
   flagged to the operator as a one-line revert if they'd rather keep
   exact bytes).
6. **184 tests passed** on the merged tree.
7. **PR #2** opened via gitea API (stored HTTPS credential, never
   displayed; token scope `write:repository`), mergeable, **FF-merged**
   → `origin/main` @ `ef34ffe`. Tagged annotated **v1.2.0** @ `ef34ffe`,
   pushed (no mirror, SPEC §3.1). Worktree + merged PR branch cleaned
   up. Initially **left the shared checkout at `7b32a46` untouched**
   (other session may be in it; it FF's on next pull) and left
   `session-0028/flotilla-v1.2.0` + its `…-s0028` worktree for 0028/
   operator to clean up.
8. **Post-merge cleanup (operator authorized).** FF'd the shared
   flotilla checkout `7b32a46` → `ef34ffe` on `main` (clean tree);
   removed the merged `…-s0028` worktree; deleted
   `session-0028/flotilla-v1.2.0` local + remote (verified merged into
   `main` first). Remaining remote branches: `main` +
   `session-0030/flotilla-security-hardening` (0030's, already merged
   via PR #1 — left for 0030/operator).

**Lesson (§19.3-shaped):** parallel sessions MUST NOT do git mutations
in a shared working dir. The worktree IS the isolation; the operating-
instructions already say `isolation: worktree` for subagents — the same
applies to a driver doing a hands-on merge. The `VERSION` smell test is
what caught the silent stomp before anything was pushed.
