Session 0013.0 — Transcript

Date: 2026-05-28 Goal: Drive Wave 6 — three Track Ω inventory / draft subsessions in parallel. No rfc-app feature releases this wave; the wave's job is to surface the operator-led gestures that the post-Wave-5 plate needs (DNS edits, repo renames, counsel-reviewed copy) and to land docs that make OHM's contribution surface honest.

Outcome: All three subsessions produced their deliverables. M.1 wrote docs feature branches in rfc-app + ohm-rfc (CONTRIBUTING

  • SPEC §21 analytics chapter) — pushed, awaiting operator PR review. M.2 wrote a 33 KB repo-naming inventory + move proposal with six open questions for the operator. M.3 wrote a deliverability
  • webhook hardening runbook + a rfc-app v0.18.0 framework-hygiene proposal — and surfaced one potentially-load-bearing finding: SMTP_HOST may be missing from the live flotilla overlay (every OHM email path silently broken if so). M.1 hit a stream-watchdog stall on the report-back step AFTER writing its transcript + pushing both feature branches — recovery was driver-reads-transcript-direct, no re-dispatch.

First session running under the §5 subsession-transcript amendment (Session-L addition to SESSION-PROTOCOL.md). Three forked subagents pre-assigned M.1 / M.2 / M.3; each writes its own SESSION-M.<n>-TRANSCRIPT-…md before returning a tight report to the driver. Driver had to extend the publish script's filename + header validators mid-session — Session 0012.0 documented the §5 validator extension but never landed it in the script (Arc 7). 14 §19.2 candidates surfaced across the three subs + driver.

Pre-session state

Time: opened 2026-05-28T05-26 PST (Thursday, just-pre-dawn — operator handed off the wheel after Session 0012.0's three-deploy Wave 5 finish at 05:17 PST and is sleeping). Session 0012.0's main transcript is at ~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-0012.0-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T04-22--2026-05-28T05-17.md.

Repos at session open:

Repo State at open
rfc-app (~/git/rfc-app, branch main) clean tree, HEAD at 1456c8b (Release 0.17.0: admin-create user + invite email + #21 Part C). Tags through v0.17.0.
ohm-rfc (~/projects/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc, branch main) clean tree, HEAD at 47cb2f9 (ROADMAP strike of #12 / #13 / #16). .rfc-app-version = 0.17.0.
ohm-rfc-app-flotilla (~/projects/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc-app-flotilla, branch main) clean tree, HEAD at 65c0e55 (CLAUDE.md: correct the secret-set gesture). v1.0.1.
ohm-infra (~/git/ohm-infra/) Plain directory (not a local git repo). Transcripts A–L published to wiggleverse/ohm-session-history via scripts/publish-transcript.sh. SESSION-PROTOCOL.md at the §5-amended version.

OHM live state: ohm.wiggleverse.org serves rfc-app v0.17.0, deploys.id=21 (last deploy from Session 0012.0). v0.13.0 cookie banner + v0.14.0 /docs route + v0.15.0 Amplitude analytics & session replay + v0.16.0 per-RFC owner invites + v0.17.0 admin-create user invites all live in production for the first time. #21 Part C identity- lifecycle wiring (identify-with-properties on sign-in, setUserProperties on mid-session changes, amplitude.reset on sign-out, identify-BEFORE-track on invite-claim paths) shipped inline with the v0.15.0 / v0.16.0 / v0.17.0 release commits.

Roadmap state: #2–#16 + #21 Part C all shipped (struck through in ~/projects/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.md). Wave 6 candidates open:

  • #20 Email deliverability (HIGH priority — invites are now the recipient's first contact with OHM, spam-foldering is silent invite failure)
  • #18 Secure SMTP relay + Gitea webhook (bundles with #20 — shared DNS edits)
  • #19 CONTRIBUTING guides + transcript-linked onboarding
  • #21 Part B — SPEC analytics chapter + CONTRIBUTING checklist (rides #19)
  • #17 Repo naming + location alignment (operator-led; subagent inventories + proposes)
  • #1 VM rename (operator-led)
  • #22 Pro-analytics-consent copy (BLOCKED — waiting on operator- drafted + counsel-reviewed copy)
  • #21 Part A — deep audit of v0.15.0 taxonomy + autocapture + replay quality (BLOCKED — needs ~1 week of Amplitude data; v0.17.0 is <12 hours old)

Housekeeping noticed at open:

  • A stale SESSION-0012.0-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T04-22--INPROGRESS.md (4.3 KB) sits next to Session 0012.0's final transcript at ~/git/ohm-infra/. The final transcript is the load-bearing one (was published). The INPROGRESS placeholder is leftover. Recommend the operator delete it (or driver deletes at the end of M); not load-bearing for Session 0013.0's work.
  • Three rfc-app worktrees from Session 0012.0 still on disk under ~/git/:
    • rfc-app-v0.15.0-amplitude/
    • rfc-app-v0.16.0-owner-invite/
    • rfc-app-v0.17.0-admin-create-user/ Each release has shipped and merged to main; the worktrees are no longer load-bearing. Could be cleaned up via git worktree remove when the operator next runs through housekeeping.

Dispatch plan

Wave 6 runs as three forked subagents, each in its own subsession, each writing its own transcript per §5 of the protocol. All three are Track Ω (docs + ops inventory / proposal) — they touch non-overlapping files in non-overlapping repos, so they run safely in parallel without merge-conflict risk. None ship code that runs on OHM in this wave; each produces a feature branch with a draft + a recommendation block for the operator to review.

Sub Brief Repo(s) touched Output
M.1 #19 CONTRIBUTING guides bundled with #21 Part B (SPEC.md analytics chapter + CONTRIBUTING analytics checklist) rfc-app (CONTRIBUTING.md + SPEC.md) + ohm-rfc (CONTRIBUTING.md) Feature branches in both repos with drafts; ready for operator PR review
M.2 #17 inventory of every repo under git.wiggleverse.org + git.benstull.org with current name, canonical location, mirror status, and proposed name. Drafts a move-proposal doc. No renames executed. ohm-infra (write proposal here) + read-only across all Wiggleverse / benstull repos A REPO-NAMING-PROPOSAL.md (or similar) for operator to approve
M.3 #20 deliverability + #18 SMTP/webhook hardening combined inventory. Reads current DNS posture, rfc-app backend/app/email_*.py, ohm-infra SMTP/webhook config, Gitea webhook auth surfaces. Drafts a hardened-shape runbook + a rfc-app template-hygiene minor proposal. ohm-infra (runbook) + read-only on rfc-app (drafts the proposal as a doc, NOT as code changes) A hardening runbook + an rfc-app template-hygiene proposal doc

Why no rfc-app code release this wave: every Wave 6 candidate either (a) is docs / inventory / proposal that lands as a PR the operator merges, no version bump, or (b) requires operator-led gestures (DNS edits, counsel review, rename execution) that can't happen autonomously. Wave 6 is the "set up Wave 7" wave — deliverables here become the operator's plate, and Wave 7 picks up the rfc-app minors (template hygiene, pro-consent copy) and the ops moves (DNS, renames) that fall out.

Dispatch contract for each subagent (per §5.2):

  1. Pre-assigned subsession ID named in the dispatch prompt.
  2. Subagent MUST write ~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-M.<n>-TRANSCRIPT-<start>--<end>.md before returning a report.
  3. Subagent does NOT push code that ships on OHM. Branches only; operator merges.
  4. Subagent does NOT execute operator-led gestures (no DNS edits, no repo renames, no SMTP provider config changes).
  5. Subagent reports back with: branch + commit SHAs, the draft's one-paragraph PR description, any §19.2 candidates surfaced.

Turn-by-turn arc

Arc 1 — Opening + Wave 6 plan + parallel dispatch

Operator handed off the wheel at 05:20 PST with a thorough brief explicitly listing Wave 6 candidates and the new §5 subsession- transcript dispatch shape. Read SESSION-PROTOCOL.md and ROADMAP.md end-to-end. Identified six Wave-6-eligible items; three blocked or operator-only (#22 / #21 Part A / #1), three dispatchable now (#19 + #21B / #17 / #20+#18). Bundling rationale: #21 Part B explicitly rides #19's CONTRIBUTING PRs per the roadmap; #18 and #20 explicitly ship together because the same DNS edits serve both.

Pre-state snapshot above. Then opened this transcript at SESSION-0013.0-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T05-26--INPROGRESS.md and dispatched the three subagents in parallel at 2026-05-28T05-30 PST.

Each subagent's dispatch prompt named:

  • the subsession ID (M.1 / M.2 / M.3)
  • the transcript filename to write at session end
  • the binding constraints (never-secret-bytes; no-operator-led- gestures; no force-push / --amend / git config)
  • the read-only inventory boundary (no DNS edits, no repo renames, no flotilla deploy, no SMTP provider changes)
  • the deliverable shape and the report-back format

Dispatch summary:

Sub agent state Scope
M.1 running (background) rfc-app/CONTRIBUTING.md + rfc-app/SPEC.md analytics chapter + ohm-rfc/CONTRIBUTING.md. Feature branches in both repos.
M.2 running (background) REPO-NAMING-PROPOSAL.md — inventory + move proposal across git.wiggleverse.org + git.benstull.org. No renames executed.
M.3 running (background) EMAIL-AND-WEBHOOK-HARDENING-RUNBOOK.md + RFC-APP-EMAIL-HYGIENE-PROPOSAL.md. Read-only DNS / flotilla-overlay / rfc-app code inventory. No DNS or SMTP changes.

Driver waits for each completion notification, folds the report

  • subsession-transcript reference into Arc 2 / Arc 3 / Arc 4 as they return. Cut-state table written after all three are in.

Arc 2 — M.2 returns: #17 repo naming inventory

M.2 completed at 2026-05-28T05-37 PST (~7 min). Full detail: SESSION-0013.2-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T05-30--2026-05-28T05-37.md.

Inventory totals: 9 repos on git.wiggleverse.org (4 under ben.stull/, 5 under wiggleverse/); 3 on git.benstull.org (under benstull/: 1 real sha-synced mirror, 1 stub, 1 empty); 9 local-only working dirs catalogued in the proposal.

Surfaced friction not in roadmap #17:

  • Three-meta-repos collision (wiggleverse/meta + wiggleverse/ohm-meta + wiggleverse/rfc-0001-human — the monorepo ohm-rfc has won in practice; three repos for one job).
  • Push-mirror description drift between ben.stull/rfc-app and benstull/rfc-app.
  • A ben username alias on git.wiggleverse.org creating a 1-hop redirect chain alongside the canonical ben.stull.
  • ~/git/ohm-infra/ is a plain directory, not a git repo — matches what the driver caught at session open. M.2 surfaces it as a §19.2 candidate (see below).

Top moves proposed (execution order from the proposal doc):

  1. Archive wiggleverse/meta (vestigial; zero-risk warmup).
  2. Archive wiggleverse/ohm-meta + wiggleverse/rfc-0001-human (requires Q1 operator confirm — per-RFC repos vs. monorepo).
  3. Transfer ben.stull/ohm-rfc → wiggleverse/ohm-rfc — medium risk; affects flotilla SPEC (~10 places), 4 test files hardcode ben/ohm-rfc, and flotilla's SQLite registry stores it as pin_source_repo + corpus_repo — operator must run a flotilla update post-move or the next deploy chases a 2-hop Gitea redirect.
  4. Transfer ben.stull/rfc-app → wiggleverse/rfc-app — largest blast radius. Flotilla SPEC §3.1 has a conceptual paragraph explaining why rfc-app gets a benstull mirror — that rationale dissolves under org-namespace and needs rewriting. Good news: no shipped frontend artifacts reference these URLs, so end- users see nothing.
  5. Archive benstull/rfc-app-flotilla stub (empty placeholder that contradicts SPEC §3.1's "no benstull mirror for flotilla" rule).

§19.2 candidates surfaced by M.2:

  1. Stop relying on Gitea path aliases — resolve canonical paths at registry-update time so flotilla's SQLite registry doesn't silently chase Gitea redirects after a transfer.
  2. Concrete flotilla-core reservation slot (the benstull/rfc-app-flotilla stub repo is an accidental artifact of this need).
  3. Promote ~/git/ohm-infra/ to a real git repo — currently a plain directory; transcripts publish to the remote wiggleverse/ohm-session-history but the runbooks, proposals, and protocol doc that live in ohm-infra have no version control.

Open questions for the operator (the proposal lists six; the load-bearing ones):

  • Q1: per-RFC repos vs monorepo — settles whether step 2 above happens at all, and may reshape the proposal entirely.
  • Q2: mirror destination after rfc-app moves.
  • Q3: fate of the benstull/rfc-app-flotilla stub (the proposal recommends archive; operator confirm).
  • Q4: promote ohm-infra/ to a real repo (yes? then where?).
  • Q5: remove the ben username alias.
  • Q6: backup ohm-infra/ before execution session begins.

Artifacts written by M.2:

  • ~/git/ohm-infra/REPO-NAMING-PROPOSAL.md (~33 KB).
  • ~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-0013.2-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T05-30--2026-05-28T05-37.md.

Zero remote git operations. No Gitea admin actions. Clean inventory + proposal pass per scope.

Arc 3 — M.3 returns: #20 + #18 deliverability & webhook hardening

M.3 completed at 2026-05-28T05-58 PST (~28 min). Full detail: SESSION-0013.3-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T05-30--2026-05-28T05-58.md.

Load-bearing finding (top of operator's plate): SMTP_HOST and SMTP_USER are MISSING from the live flotilla overlay. Only SMTP_PORT=587, SMTP_STARTTLS=1, EMAIL_FROM, EMAIL_FROM_NAME are present. Either the bootstrap was reshaped post-run and these dropped, OR they live on the VM out-of-band via systemd override. If neither holds, every OHM email path is silently failing right now (OTC, beta-access notifications, per-RFC owner invites, admin-create user invites — all four paths added across v0.7.0 → v0.17.0). Operator disambiguates next session via gcloud ssh ohm-app + systemctl show ohm-app.service | grep Environment.

Current DNS posture (wiggleverse.org, literal values):

  • SPF: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all (soft-fail)
  • DMARC: v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:ben@wiggleverse.org (monitoring-only, no enforcement)
  • DKIM: present at google._domainkey.wiggleverse.org (2048-bit Workspace key)
  • MX: standard Google Workspace aspmx.l.google.com family

SMTP provider identified: Google Workspace SMTP relay (smtp-relay.gmail.com) — inferred from bootstrap + DKIM + MX (no direct confirmation since SMTP_HOST is missing from the overlay).

Top 3 deployment-side hardening gestures (priority order):

  1. Delete stale wiggleverse/meta Gitea hook — still active, points at http://rfc.wiggleverse.org/api/webhooks/gitea (host was deprovisioned 2026-05-27, plain HTTP). 5-second curl DELETE. Trivial cleanup.
  2. Disambiguate the SMTP_HOST gap (see load-bearing finding above). Highest user impact if email is actually silently broken.
  3. DMARC Phase A — extend the existing p=none record with pct=100; sp=quarantine; adkim=s; aspf=s, collect rua data for 1 week, flip to p=quarantine. Conservative enforcement ramp.

Top 3 framework-side changes (target rfc-app v0.18.0):

  1. build_envelope shared helper — adds Date, Message-ID, Auto-Submitted: auto-generated, List-Unsubscribe + List-Unsubscribe-Post (per RFC 8058), and multipart/alternative text+html to all four email paths (email_otc.py, email_invite.py, email.py:_deliver, email.py:_send_bundle). Today: NONE of these headers are set; bodies are plain-text-only; Gmail's one-click-unsubscribe enforcement is unsatisfied for bulk-adjacent watcher notifications.
  2. Make GITEA_WEBHOOK_SECRET required, not optional. config.py:75 is _optional; webhooks.py:43 silently accepts unsigned POSTs when empty. Insecure-by-default for any deployment that forgets the binding. Add RFC_APP_INSECURE_WEBHOOKS=1 dev-bypass for local dev only.
  3. outbound_emails audit table + write on every send. Today failures log-and-forget; operator has zero visibility without grepping VM logs. The audit table seam doubles as a place to wire bounce-handling later.

Webhook posture audit: signature verification is correct (hmac.compare_digest, HMAC-SHA-256 over raw body) when the secret is set — and on OHM it is. Two structural issues: (a) silent-accept-when-unset default; (b) no replay-window (currently mitigated by idempotent cache refreshes, so not yet exploited but worth a §19.2 candidate or follow-up rfc-app minor).

M.3 also noted: wiggleverse/rfc-0001-human has NO Gitea webhook configured (the only published RFC's content changes only reach OHM via the reconciler). Operator confirms whether this is intentional. Bot lacks admin on ben.stull/ohm-rfc (the pin source), so M.3 couldn't self-check that one.

§19.2 candidates surfaced by M.3 (5):

  1. rfc-app: GITEA_WEBHOOK_SECRET should be required.
  2. rfc-app: outbound-email observability seam (audit table).
  3. flotilla: overlay show doesn't surface expected-but-missing keys; needs overlay validate verb.
  4. flotilla: lacks a webhook list/check verb (generic, would land in flotilla-core after extraction per §19.2).
  5. rfc-app: From-identity spec to bind EMAIL_FROM consumers + DMARC + Workspace allowed-senders to one source.

Artifacts written by M.3:

  • ~/git/ohm-infra/EMAIL-AND-WEBHOOK-HARDENING-RUNBOOK.md (~21 KB).
  • ~/git/ohm-infra/RFC-APP-EMAIL-HYGIENE-PROPOSAL.md (~9 KB).
  • ~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-0013.3-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T05-30--2026-05-28T05-58.md.

Read-only DNS / flotilla-overlay / rfc-app code inventory. Zero DNS edits, zero overlay set, zero code commits. Clean per scope.

Arc 4 — M.1 returns (with a stall): #19 + #21B docs landed

M.1 hit the stream watchdog at 600s-no-progress and the agent was killed before it could return its report. Its own transcript says end-time 05:40 PST — meaning it wrote the transcript ~10 minutes into its run, then spent another ~50 minutes in a "sanity check before reporting back" phase that produced no streamable output and got watchdog-killed.

Per protocol §5.5 the driver MAY write a stub if a subagent fails to produce a transcript. M.1 did produce a transcript (full 460-line detailed shape, all the synthesis the driver needs); the stall was on the report-back-to-driver step. Driver chose no re-dispatch: all deliverables landed cleanly on disk, both feature branches pushed to canonical (rfc-app to origin + benstull, ohm-rfc to origin), tree clean. Recovery was: read M.1's transcript directly

  • switch the two repos back to main (M.1 left them on the feature branches) + fold synthesis into this transcript.

Pre-state addendum surfaced by M.1's own pre-state: ohm-rfc main was at 8cce148 when M.1 opened at 05:30, but this driver's pre-state at 05:26 (above) recorded ohm-rfc main at 47cb2f9. The operator pushed 8cce148 ROADMAP: +#23 (rename transcripts SESSION-<letter> → SESSION-NNNN.M) to ohm-rfc/main in the 4-minute gap between session-open and M.1 dispatch. Recorded honestly here per the protocol's no-curation rule — this is the Session-L "don't batch roadmap captures to end-of-session" lesson applied in real time. Roadmap item #23 now exists (transcript- filename rename) and is captured on ohm-rfc/main outside of any Session-M subagent's scope.

M.1 deliverables (all on feature branches, none merged):
rfc-app feature/contributing-and-spec-analytics 213f686 docs: CONTRIBUTING.md + SPEC.md §21 analytics chapter. Pushed to origin + benstull.
ohm-rfc feature/contributing-roadmap-guide f26fae4 CONTRIBUTING: add roadmap-change guide + operator-only boundary. Pushed to origin.

rfc-app/CONTRIBUTING.md is new, ~370 lines, covering: PR shape, strict-descending CHANGELOG convention, RFC 2119 Upgrade steps: discipline, §19.2 candidate practice, test-coverage expectations characterized from the real ~250-test backend suite, the operator- only-gestures boundary (with the hard no-secret-bytes rule cited from Session 0011.0 Arc 6), and the #21 Part B analytics-instrumentation checklist as a dedicated section. Worked-example links to Sessions E (clean small release), I (deploy-fault recovery), K (multi-feature wave + paused-on-secret), L (squash-merge across three parallel features + #21 Part C inline). Links to the repo root not specific transcript filenames — anticipating the #23 rename.

rfc-app/SPEC.md gets new §21 "Analytics instrumentation and identity", ~440 lines, structured §21.1 event-taxonomy → §21.2 required prop families → §21.3 autocapture-friendly DOM patterns → §21.4 session-replay masking → §21.5 consent-gate contract → §21.6 identity lifecycle (#21 Part C) → §21.6.1 set vs setOnce taxonomy → §21.7 cohort-shape implications → §21.8 secret-vs-public framing → §21.9 §19.2 candidates → §21.10 open question. RFC 2119 keywords used precisely throughout. The starting v0.17.0 taxonomy (13 events) laid out verbatim.

Placement decision the driver should weigh in on: M.1 settled inline on placing the new chapter as §21 (after §20 versioning) rather than §16 (the naively-correct insertion-after-§15 notifications). Rationale: §19.2 is a load-bearing project noun (in CLAUDE.md, SESSION-PROTOCOL.md §3, 12 published transcripts, historical commit messages) — renumbering would cascade across all of those. §15 now carries a forward-pointer naming §21 as the peer cross-cutting analytics chapter. The driver agrees with M.1's call: the right §16 numbering belongs to a future cross-repo cleanup session, NOT a docs-PR. Flagged as §19.2 candidate #1 from M.1 (see below).

ohm-rfc/CONTRIBUTING.md extends the existing 130-line RFC-content guide (preserved verbatim) with a new "Proposing a change to the OHM roadmap" section (~80 added lines). Covers: roadmap-change kinds, ohm-session-history pointer + worked-example links into Sessions J/K/L roadmap reshuffles, PR-submission gesture with the anonymous-PR open question SETTLED inline (see Arc 5 below), the operator-only-gestures boundary phrased with the "I'm the only one that gets to yolo" quote, the two-layer rule.

Arc 5 — Anonymous-PR question settlement (M.1 inline)

M.1 probed https://git.wiggleverse.org/user/sign_up and got HTTP 200 with body containing <p>Registration is disabled. Please contact your site administrator.</p>. Definitive answer.

The ohm-rfc CONTRIBUTING text settles on two contributor paths: Issue-first (default; the operator or next driver session turns it into a roadmap entry or opens discussion in the issue thread), or request-account-from-operator (for repeat contributors). Phrased so the operator can edit down to one path if registration policy flips later.

Arc 6 — Recovery + finalize

Driver switched rfc-app + ohm-rfc back to main (M.1 left them on feature branches; git checkout main on each — clean, "up to date with origin/main"). Marked M.1 task completed with a description recording the stall + recovery decision. Wrote this turn-by-turn, cut state, §19.2 ledger, operator plate, next-session prompt. Renamed transcript INPROGRESS → final timestamp. About to publish all four transcripts (M + M.1 + M.2 + M.3) via ~/git/ohm-infra/scripts/publish-transcript.sh per §5.6.

Arc 7 — Publish-script validator extension (in-scope plumbing)

First attempt to publish M.1 failed: filename does not match SESSION-<letter>-TRANSCRIPT[-<start>--<end>].md. Investigation revealed a protocol-vs-reality discrepancy: both the operator's brief ("the publish script's filename validator was extended in Session 0012.0 to accept SESSION-<letter>.<n>-TRANSCRIPT-…md") and SESSION-PROTOCOL.md §5.6 ("The publish script's filename validator accepts the SESSION-<letter>.<n>-TRANSCRIPT-…md form (extended Session-L, see scripts/publish-transcript.sh)") said the extension was already in place — but the actual regex in scripts/publish-transcript.sh at L127 was still ^SESSION-[A-Za-z]+-TRANSCRIPT(-${_TS}--${_TS})?\.md$, and the header check at L140 only accepted Transcript / transcript endings, not Subsession transcript. The extension was documented in Session 0012.0's protocol amendment but never landed in the script.

Driver made minimal-scope edits to fix:

  • Filename regex: extended to ^SESSION-[A-Za-z]+(\.[0-9]+)*-TRANSCRIPT(-${_TS}--${_TS})?\.md$ (accepts .N and .N.N for hypothetical sub-subagents per §5.2's nested convention).
  • Header regex: extended to accept Subsession transcript and — Subsession transcript forms; allow .N after the session letter.
  • Updated the comment block at L123 and L131-135 to document the subsession form.
  • Updated the error message at L128 to name [.<n>] explicitly.

Dry-ran M.1 to verify both validators pass against # Session 0013.1 — Subsession transcript. Header OK. Then published M.1 → M.2 → M.3 → M serially.

Note on scope: this script edit is in-scope plumbing for §5 being operational at all — Session 0013.0 is the first session under §5, so the validator gap had to be fixed before the wave could complete. The change is small (regex extensions + comment/message updates only, no logic changes), commented in the script, and the dry-run gesture confirmed correctness before the real push. The script lives in ~/git/ohm-infra/, which is not under version control per M.2's §19.2 candidate #7 — so this script change is on local disk only with no history. That candidate is now more salient.

This driver-surfaced issue is captured below as §19.2 candidate #14 (reconcile protocol amendments with actual code changes — the amendment should fail review if the code change isn't also present).

Arc 8 — Post-publish close (operator-confirmed at ~07:00 PST)

After Arc 7's validator extension + serial publish of all four transcripts (M.1 @ 7c7c478 → M.2 @ 5dad1b2 → M.3 @ 2007cf3 → M @ 61698af), driver re-published M with the Arc 7 + §19.2 candidate #14 + script-edit-disclosure additions (final commit 6248f88 on wiggleverse/ohm-session-history main).

Operator (returned ~07:00 PST, not asleep) confirmed close and asked for: (1) the next-session prompt surfaced verbatim in chat for easy copy, (2) the transcript updated with this final exchange. Driver replied with the prompt printed in full (no substantive change from the version embedded in this transcript below in the "Prompt the operator can paste…" section; reproduced verbatim for ergonomics), then added this Arc 8 + re-published per the Session-L "transcript is the final session step" feedback memory ("re-finalize if more work happens after").

Final state of this session matches the cut-state table below. No code shipped to OHM. Two docs feature branches and three ohm-infra/-local proposal/runbook docs are the deliverables that become Wave 7's plate.

Cut state (end of session, 2026-05-28T06-50 PST)
rfc-app main unchanged at 1456c8b (Release 0.17.0). New branch feature/contributing-and-spec-analytics at 213f686 pushed to origin + benstull — awaiting operator PR review. Local tree on main, clean.
ohm-rfc main advanced from 47cb2f9 → 8cce148 mid-session (operator pushed #23). New branch feature/contributing-roadmap-guide at f26fae4 pushed to origin — awaiting operator PR review. .rfc-app-version unchanged at 0.17.0. Local tree on main, clean.

No rfc-app release shipped this wave; that's Wave 6's intended shape (set-up wave — deliverables become Wave 7's plate). The plate is heavy and clearly-named.

§19.2 candidates surfaced this session

From M.1:

  1. SPEC.md §16..§20 renumbering vs. §21-at-end placement. The chapter went in as §21 not §16 to preserve the §19.2 / §19.3 cross-reference graph; a future cleanup session can do the numerically-clean §16 insertion + cascade across CLAUDE.md files + SESSION-PROTOCOL.md + 12 transcripts + auto-memory.
  2. Centralized email-hash helper (SHA-256 of normalized lower- cased email for #12-style per-RFC target_email hashing).
  3. Property-shape CI lint for track( / identify( callsites (allowlist of prop keys, denylist of PII names).
  4. Frontend test runner (no vitest/jest/playwright today; the CONTRIBUTING file documents the gap honestly).

From M.2: 5. Stop relying on Gitea path aliases — resolve canonical paths at registry-update time so flotilla's SQLite registry doesn't silently chase Gitea redirects after a transfer. 6. Concrete flotilla-core reservation slot — the benstull/rfc-app-flotilla stub is an accidental artifact of this latent need. 7. Promote ~/git/ohm-infra/ to a real git repo — currently a plain directory; transcripts publish to the remote but runbooks, proposals, and the protocol doc have no local version control.

From M.3: 8. rfc-app: GITEA_WEBHOOK_SECRET should be required, not _optional. Insecure-by-default for any deployment that forgets the binding. 9. rfc-app: outbound-email observability seam (outbound_emails audit table + write on every send). Today failures log-and- forget; doubles as bounce-handling hook later. 10. flotilla: overlay show doesn't surface expected-but-missing keys; needs an overlay validate verb. (The session's own headline finding — possibly-missing SMTP_HOST — would have been a one-command detection if this existed.) 11. flotilla: lacks a webhook list/check verb (generic — would land in flotilla-core after §19.2 extraction). 12. rfc-app: From-identity spec to bind EMAIL_FROM consumers + DMARC + Workspace allowed-senders to one source.

Driver-surfaced (this transcript): 13. Subagent stream-watchdog stall pattern. M.1 finished its work + transcript at minute ~10 but spent ~50 more minutes in a quiet "sanity check" phase before the watchdog killed it. The session-protocol §5.3 instruction says transcript-write happens BEFORE report-back — that's load-bearing, since the report-back is where the agent dies. Worth a protocol clarification: "transcript first; report-back is the only thing after; do NOT add a 'final sanity check' phase between — sanity-check findings go into the transcript." Or alternatively, a documented expectation that the driver always re-verifies deliverables on disk and doesn't depend on the report-back text alone. 14. Protocol amendments must land with the code change. Session 0012.0 documented in SESSION-PROTOCOL.md §5.6 that the publish script's validator was extended to accept SESSION-<letter>.<n>-TRANSCRIPT-…md, and the Session 0013.0 brief repeated the claim. Reality at session open: the script's regex hadn't been modified. Driver had to extend it mid-Session-M to publish the subsession transcripts at all (see Arc 7). Worth a discipline: an amendment to the protocol that claims a code change MUST also include the code change in the same merge (or be marked "pending implementation" in the protocol text). Plus: amendment review should diff the protocol claim against the named code surface and reject if they don't match. This is a Session 0013.0 lesson; would land in SESSION-PROTOCOL.md §6 ("when the protocol is unclear") as a sub-paragraph.

What lands on the operator's plate

In rough priority order (driver's read):

URGENT — investigate before any further Wave 7 work

  1. Disambiguate the SMTP_HOST / SMTP_USER overlay gap (M.3 finding). Run gcloud ssh ohm-app + systemctl show ohm-app.service | grep Environment to check whether they're set via systemd override. If not, OHM has been silently dropping every email (OTC, beta-access notifications, per-RFC invites, admin-create invites) — meaning v0.7.0 / v0.9.0 / v0.16.0 / v0.17.0's user-facing email features are degraded since deploy. Send a manual test through the admin "Create user + invite" flow as a probe.

HIGH — review + merge the docs PRs

  1. rfc-app PR for feature/contributing-and-spec-analytics at 213f686. Suggested PR description in SESSION-0013.1-TRANSCRIPT-…md What-the-driver-needs-to-know #6. Open on:

    • https://git.wiggleverse.org/ben.stull/rfc-app/pulls/new/feature/contributing-and-spec-analytics
    • https://git.benstull.org/benstull/rfc-app/pulls/new/feature/contributing-and-spec-analytics Operator decides §21-vs-§16 placement — driver concurs with M.1's §21 call (don't break the §19.2 cross-reference graph).

  2. ohm-rfc PR for feature/contributing-roadmap-guide at f26fae4. Description also in M.1's transcript. Open on:

    • https://git.wiggleverse.org/ben.stull/ohm-rfc/pulls/new/feature/contributing-roadmap-guide

MEDIUM — schedule + decide

  1. #17 repo naming proposal at ~/git/ohm-infra/REPO-NAMING-PROPOSAL.md. Six open questions in the proposal that need operator input before the execution session can be scoped. Q1 (per-RFC repos vs monorepo) may reshape the proposal entirely; resolve first.

  2. #20 + #18 deliverability runbook at ~/git/ohm-infra/EMAIL-AND-WEBHOOK-HARDENING-RUNBOOK.md. Once #1 above is settled, this is the priority-ordered list of operator gestures. Top three: (a) curl DELETE the stale wiggleverse/meta Gitea webhook pointing at deprovisioned http://rfc.wiggleverse.org; (b) DMARC Phase A (pct=100; sp=quarantine; adkim=s; aspf=s); (c) confirm wiggleverse/rfc-0001-human has no webhook (M.3 noted absence — intentional or oversight?).

  3. rfc-app v0.18.0 minor is now the natural next release — carries the framework-side hardening from M.3: build_envelope shared helper (Date/Message-ID/Auto-Submitted/ List-Unsubscribe headers + multipart text+html); required GITEA_WEBHOOK_SECRET; outbound_emails audit table. Proposal doc at ~/git/ohm-infra/RFC-APP-EMAIL-HYGIENE-PROPOSAL.md.

LOW / informational

  1. #23 transcript filename rename is on ROADMAP now (operator pushed 8cce148). This session is the last to use the SESSION-<letter> convention before #23 ships; future sessions will name as SESSION-NNNN.M per the new spec.

  2. Stale Session-L INPROGRESS file at ~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-0012.0-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T04-22--INPROGRESS.md (4.3 KB). Final L transcript is published; this is a placeholder that can be deleted. Driver did NOT delete (operator's call).

  3. Three rfc-app worktrees from Session 0012.0 still on disk: ~/git/rfc-app-v0.15.0-amplitude/, ~/git/rfc-app-v0.16.0-owner-invite/, ~/git/rfc-app-v0.17.0-admin-create-user/. All shipped + merged. Cleanup via git worktree remove at the operator's convenience.

  4. §19.2 candidate #13 (subagent stream-watchdog stall pattern) is a candidate protocol clarification for SESSION-PROTOCOL.md §5 — see the candidates list above.

  5. scripts/publish-transcript.sh was edited mid-session to actually extend the filename + header validators for the §5 subsession form (Session 0012.0 documented the extension but never landed it). The script lives in ~/git/ohm-infra/ which is not version-controlled, so the change has no commit history. Driver-applied diff: regex ^SESSION-[A-Za-z]+-TRANSCRIPT… → ^SESSION-[A-Za-z]+(\.[0-9]+)*-TRANSCRIPT…; header regex extended to accept Subsession transcript and — Subsession transcript endings plus .N after the letter. Worked correctly for all three subsession transcripts. Captured as §19.2 candidate #14 (protocol amendments must land with the code change). M.2's §19.2 candidate #7 (promote ohm-infra/ to a real git repo) becomes more salient — this script change is not under version control.

Prompt the operator can paste into the next Claude Code session

You are the OHM roadmap driver. The previous session (Session 0013.0)
ran Wave 6 as three Track Ω inventory/draft subsessions in parallel
(M.1 / M.2 / M.3) under the new §5 subsession-transcript convention.

**What Session 0013.0 produced:**
- Two docs feature branches awaiting your PR review:
  - rfc-app `feature/contributing-and-spec-analytics` at `213f686`
    (CONTRIBUTING.md + SPEC.md §21 analytics chapter, lands #19 +
    #21 Part B; placed §21 not §16 to preserve the §19.2 cross-
    reference graph — driver concurs with M.1's call)
  - ohm-rfc `feature/contributing-roadmap-guide` at `f26fae4`
    (CONTRIBUTING extension covering roadmap changes + operator-
    only boundary)
- Three new docs on disk at `~/git/ohm-infra/`:
  - `REPO-NAMING-PROPOSAL.md` (#17 inventory + proposal; six open
    questions need your input)
  - `EMAIL-AND-WEBHOOK-HARDENING-RUNBOOK.md` (#18 + #20 deployment-
    side gestures, prioritized)
  - `RFC-APP-EMAIL-HYGIENE-PROPOSAL.md` (#18 + #20 framework-side
    minor proposal — target rfc-app v0.18.0)

**URGENT to investigate FIRST**: M.3 found `SMTP_HOST` + `SMTP_USER`
missing from the live flotilla overlay. If they aren't being set
via systemd override on the VM, every OHM email path (OTC,
beta-access notifications, per-RFC invites, admin-create invites
— v0.7.0/v0.9.0/v0.16.0/v0.17.0) has been silently dropping mail
since the relevant deploy. First gesture: `gcloud ssh ohm-app` +
`systemctl show ohm-app.service | grep Environment` to check. If
broken, send a probe through the "admin create user + invite"
flow.

**Wave 7 candidates (priority order):**
1. **Investigate + fix SMTP gap** (above) — possibly an ops-only
   gesture if systemd override is sufficient; possibly an rfc-app
   minor if the email-send code needs a defensive change.
2. **Operator reviews + merges the two docs PRs from Session 0013.0**
   (no version bump for either; lands as no-bump docs commits).
3. **rfc-app v0.18.0** — framework-side hardening from
   `RFC-APP-EMAIL-HYGIENE-PROPOSAL.md`: `build_envelope` shared
   helper (Date/Message-ID/Auto-Submitted/List-Unsubscribe headers
   + multipart text+html for all four email paths); make
   `GITEA_WEBHOOK_SECRET` required (no longer `_optional`);
   `outbound_emails` audit table. Add `RFC_APP_INSECURE_WEBHOOKS=1`
   dev-bypass for local dev only.
4. **#17 execution session** — needs Q1 (per-RFC repos vs monorepo)
   answered first; then operator runs the moves per
   `REPO-NAMING-PROPOSAL.md`.
5. **#20 deployment-side gestures** — DMARC Phase A (`pct=100;
   sp=quarantine; adkim=s; aspf=s`), then ramp to `p=quarantine`
   after a week of `rua` data; delete stale `wiggleverse/meta`
   Gitea hook pointing at deprovisioned rfc.wiggleverse.org.
6. **#22** — operator drafts + counsel-reviews the pro-analytics-
   consent copy; subagent wires it in once approved.
7. **#21 Part A** — earliest reasonable target ~2026-06-04 (one
   week of Amplitude data post-v0.17.0). Defer until then.
8. **#1 VM rename** — operator-led ops gesture, schedule a
   maintenance window.
9. **#23 transcript filename rename** — on ROADMAP at `8cce148`;
   pick a session to execute the rename across all 13 published
   transcripts + the publish script's filename validator.

**Hard rules carried forward from Sessions K + L + M:**
- Never EVER ask the operator to paste secret bytes into the
  conversation. Always give the operator-run gesture (`pbpaste |
  flotilla secret set <deployment> <KEY>`). Public bundle-embedded
  values (VITE_AMPLITUDE_API_KEY, VITE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY) are fine
  in-conversation via `flotilla overlay set`.
- Subagent stream-watchdog stalls (Session 0013.0 new): subagents
  MUST write their transcript BEFORE returning a report (already
  in §5.3) — and SHOULD NOT add a "final sanity check" phase
  between transcript-write and report-back (where M.1 died).
  Driver should always re-verify deliverables on disk rather
  than depend on the report-back text alone.
- §5 subsession-transcript convention is binding from Session 0013.0
  onward.

**Cut state at handoff:**
- rfc-app `main` at `1456c8b` (v0.17.0)
- ohm-rfc `main` at `8cce148` (#23 added by operator mid-Session-M)
- ohm-rfc-app-flotilla `main` at `65c0e55` (v1.0.1)
- ohm-rfc `.rfc-app-version` = `0.17.0`
- OHM live: deploys.id=21, v0.17.0
- Two feature branches awaiting your PR review (above)
- Next session letter: **N**

Read `~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-PROTOCOL.md` and
`/Users/benstull/projects/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.md`
end-to-end. Then pick Wave 7's shippable scope.

(Cut state, §19.2 candidates, operator plate, and next-session prompt all written at session-end.)
