Session 0036.0 — Transcript

Date: 2026-05-29 Goal: OHM roadmap driver. Verify live state; advance any genuinely unblocked item; the handoff flagged #21A (Amplitude deep audit) / #20B (email deliverability) as the cleanest work if now date-unblocked.

Outcome: No code shipped — and that was the right call. The date-gated items (#21A empirical, #20B Phase B) are still gated to ~06-04 (today is 05-29). The one slice of #21A that needs no live data — the replay "Must mask" audit — turned out to be already satisfied by Amplitude's default mask level, so there was nothing to fix. Net deliverables: (1) ran the static slice of #21A Part A to a conclusion (taxonomy / consent / identify / replay-masking all verified clean); (2) corrected a subagent's over-reported "secret-field replay leak" before it could mislead a future session into over-masking; (3) reconciled two stale ROADMAP rows — struck #27 (it was deployed, deploys.id=33) and recorded the #21 static-audit findings. One commit to ohm-rfc (6cf7e41). OHM untouched, healthy at v0.29.0.

Pre-session state

OHM live: v0.29.0, /api/health → {"version":"0.29.0","status":"ok"}, deploys.id=40 (succeeded 2026-05-29 03:12). Healthy.
ohm-rfc pin (.rfc-app-version): 0.29.0. Matches live.
flotilla: repo at v1.3.0; the installed .venv binary self-reports 1.1.0 (stale editable/install — cosmetic, the verbs all work; noted as a §19.2-ish nicety).
ohm-rfc shared checkout: dirty — M PHILOSOPHY.md, untracked OPERATIONAL-MODEL.md. Not mine; another session/operator has in-progress work there. (Drove the worktree decision below.)
Other in-flight sessions (per the claim script's scan of the published repo): stale --INPROGRESS placeholders for 0026 and 0027 (both dated 2026-05-28T13-46 — long abandoned). No overlap with this session.
Claimed: session 0036 via claim-session-id.sh (placeholder pushed to wiggleverse/ohm-session-history at fe468eb).

Turn-by-turn arc

Arc 1 — Read in, verify live state

Read ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.md (all 2245 lines), SESSION-PROTOCOL.md §7 + the start/end checklist, and CLAUDE.md. Verified live state directly: flotilla deploy status → HTTP 200 v0.29.0; pin = 0.29.0; health ok. Confirmed the handoff's picture.

Mapped the unblocked surface. Today is 2026-05-29; the two date-gates (#21A empirical taxonomy audit, #20B DMARC Phase B) both want ≥1 week of data ⇒ ~06-04 — still in the future. #22 (consent copy) needs operator-drafted + counsel copy. #31b needs operator screenshots. #33 is operator-led repo moves. #34 is inventoried-and-recommend-close (an operator acceptance, not mine to strike). So the only candidate for autonomous work was the non-data-gated slice of #21A Part A — the replay-masking / DOM-hygiene / prop-consistency audit, which is static code analysis.

Arc 2 — #21A static audit (Explore subagent) + a correction

Dispatched a read-only Explore subagent over rfc-app to map the @amplitude/unified wrapper, the event taxonomy, and masking of sensitive inputs. It came back with a dramatic report: OTC code field, email inputs, beta first/last/why fields, and all RFC/PR/comment compose textareas unmasked at sessionReplay.sampleRate:1 — flagged CRITICAL "secret-field replay leaks."

I did not trust it. The report's central premise was "only type=password is masked by default" — that's the raw rrweb default, not necessarily Amplitude's wrapper default. Getting the masking API right is exactly the kind of fact to verify before shipping a "fix," so I fetched the Amplitude Session Replay privacy docs.

The docs flipped the conclusion. Amplitude's default defaultMaskLevel is 'medium', which "masks all form fields and text inputs" (textareas included) and "captures all other text as-is." So at the current config:

OTC code (type=text), passcode (type=password), all email inputs, beta first/last name, the beta "why" textarea, and every RFC/PR/comment compose textarea are already masked. The #21A "Must mask" list is already satisfied — there is no leak.
The Turnstile widget is a cross-origin iframe; rrweb cannot record its contents regardless.
The magic-link claim token lives in the URL, not the DOM; replay records DOM, not the URL bar.

The subagent's CRITICAL findings were false positives built on the wrong default. The genuinely-OK areas it checked held up: event taxonomy is consistent (Title-Case event names, snake_case props, kebab-case enum values, zero PII in props), and consent-gating + identify-lifecycle (identify-before-track on sign-in/invite-claim, reset() on sign-out) are correct in frontend/src/lib/analytics.js + App.jsx.

The one real, non-data-gated finding: Medium captures rendered page text as-is — submitted RFC bodies, displayed comments, and the signed-in display name ("Welcome, Ben Stull.") appear in replays. The roadmap explicitly frames this as a per-surface privacy decision to document in SPEC §21 — operator judgment, not an autonomous fix. Masking it (Conservative level) would gut replay's usefulness; that trade-off is the operator's to make, best made alongside the data-gated empirical audit at ~06-04.

Decision: ship no code. There's no bug to fix, and the only open item is an operator privacy decision. Shipping belt-and-suspenders masking config to the live deploy unsupervised, for a non-bug, would be over-reach. The honest, valuable outcome is to record the audit conclusion and the correction so the next session doesn't chase it.

Arc 3 — ROADMAP reconciliation (the real deliverable)

Two rows were stale and would mislead the next driver:

#27 (Haiku tag suggestions, v0.24.0) said "NOT YET DEPLOYED — deploys frozen behind the #1 VM-rename /opt/ohm-app blocker." But flotilla deploy log shows deploys.id=33, v0.24.0, succeeded 2026-05-28 20:48:32, and the code is live in v0.29.0. The "blocker" was already moot — #1 landed /opt/ohm-rfc-app back in Session 0022.0. And flotilla secret list confirms ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is bound (wiggleverse-ohm/ohm-rfc-app-anthropic-api-key@latest). Struck the row; left the #22 counsel-pass on the disclosure wording as a non-blocking open follow-up. (This is the exact stale-row trap the #19 row already documented — a prior handoff recommended already-done work.)
#21 Part A got the Session 0036 static-audit conclusion appended, including the over-reported-leak correction and the one open privacy decision.

Did the edit in an isolated worktree (ohm-rfc-wt-0036, off origin/main) per the parallel-git discipline — the shared checkout was dirty with another session's PHILOSOPHY.md/OPERATIONAL-MODEL.md work, which I left untouched. Committed (033b049), rebased on latest origin/main, pushed HEAD:main → 6cf7e41. Removed the worktree + temp branch. Verified the shared checkout's dirty state survived (now just behind 1).

Cut state (end of session)


ohm-rfc	`6cf7e41` — ROADMAP reconcile: #27 struck (deployed), #21 Part-A static audit recorded. No pin change.
rfc-app	untouched — `8a94e26` (v0.29.0)
flotilla	untouched — v1.3.0
OHM live	deploys.id=40, v0.29.0, healthy
ohm-rfc pin	0.29.0 (unchanged)
ohm-rfc shared checkout	dirty work preserved (`PHILOSOPHY.md` / `OPERATIONAL-MODEL.md`), now `behind 1` — owner should `git pull --rebase`

Item ledger	Status
#27 Haiku tags (v0.24.0)	✅ already shipped + deployed (deploys.id=33) — ROADMAP now reflects it
#21A Part A — static slice	✅ audited clean; must-mask already satisfied; no fix needed
#21A Part A — empirical + rendered-text privacy decision	⏸ gated to ~06-04 (live data) + operator privacy call
#20B DMARC Phase B	⏸ gated to ~06-04 (≥1wk clean `rua` data)
#22, #31b, #33, #34	⏸ operator-led / operator-gated

§19.2 / process candidates surfaced

Subagent fact-check discipline. A read-only Explore subagent confidently reported CRITICAL replay leaks based on a wrong assumption about a third-party SDK's default. The driver caught it only by verifying against vendor docs. Lesson (already implicit, worth restating): subagent findings about external-library behavior are hypotheses to verify, not conclusions to act on — especially before a live deploy.
Stale .venv flotilla binary. The installed ohm-rfc-app-flotilla self-reports 1.1.0 while the repo is at v1.3.0. Harmless today (verbs work), but a pip install -e . refresh would stop the version string from lying. Minor ops nicety.
Abandoned --INPROGRESS placeholders (0026, 0027). Two claimed- but-never-finalized slots from 2026-05-28T13-46 linger in the published repo. Per §7 they're harmless (numbers never reused), but a periodic sweep to either finalize-or-tombstone abandoned claims would keep the sessions browser (#30) tidy.

What lands on the operator's plate

#21A rendered-text privacy decision (the only non-data-gated Part-A item): Amplitude session replay currently records rendered page text as-is (RFC bodies, comments, your display name) — inputs are already masked. Decide per-surface whether that's acceptable and document the call in SPEC §21. Best made alongside the empirical audit at ~06-04.
#27 disclosure wording (non-blocking): the Anthropic disclosure on the propose-RFC modal already ships and is honest; the #22 counsel pass on its wording still applies — fold it into #22's broader copy review rather than treat it as a separate gesture.
ohm-rfc shared checkout: your in-progress PHILOSOPHY.md / OPERATIONAL-MODEL.md work is intact but behind 1 after this session's push — git pull --rebase when you pick it back up.
Nothing else changed. No deploy, no secret, no pin move this session.

read ohm-infra/SESSION-PROTOCOL §7 + ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.md; verify live state.

STATE (end of 0036): OHM live at v0.29.0 (deploys.id=40, healthy), pin
0.29.0, flotilla v1.3.0. Session 0036 shipped NO code — it verified state,
ran the static (no-data-needed) slice of #21A Part A to a clean
conclusion, and reconciled two stale ROADMAP rows (struck #27 — it WAS
deployed, deploys.id=33, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY bound; recorded #21 Part-A
findings). One ohm-rfc commit: 6cf7e41.

KEY #21A FINDING for the next driver: the replay "Must mask" list is
ALREADY satisfied — @amplitude/unified defaults to defaultMaskLevel
'medium', which masks all form fields + textareas (OTC/passcode/email/
beta-why/compose all masked at sampleRate:1); Turnstile is a cross-origin
iframe. DO NOT "fix" replay masking — a subagent over-reported leaks
assuming rrweb's password-only default; the wrapper default already
covers it. The ONLY open static item is an OPERATOR privacy decision:
Medium captures RENDERED text as-is (RFC bodies, comments, display name).

Still blocked: #21A empirical taxonomy audit + #20B DMARC Phase B are
date-gated — they want ~1 week of data (≈06-04); check the calendar and
the rua reports before picking them. #22 needs operator-drafted +
counsel copy; #31b needs operator screenshots; #33 operator-led repo
moves; #34 inventoried (recommend-close — an operator acceptance).

If 06-04 has arrived: #21A Part A (empirical taxonomy + the rendered-text
SPEC §21 decision, with the optional defense-in-depth of making
defaultMaskLevel:'medium' explicit + blockSelector:['.turnstile-widget'])
and #20B Phase B (DMARC p=none → p=quarantine) are the cleanest work.

Heads-up: ohm-rfc's shared checkout may carry another session's dirty
PHILOSOPHY.md/OPERATIONAL-MODEL.md work — use an isolated worktree for
any git mutation. Hard rules unchanged: never ask for secret bytes;
transcript is the final step; deliver the next handoff in chat before
publishing.

Session close

Operator reviewed the handoff in chat and called the session. No further work followed the ROADMAP reconcile — this re-finalize only stamps the true end time and records the close. Cut state above stands: OHM healthy at v0.29.0, ohm-rfc at 6cf7e41, no deploy/secret/pin change.
