## Launch prompt

```
Where is the radar code? It's failing right now and I want to start a session to fix it.
```

(Followed mid-session by an emailed GCP alert — `patchwatch-radar` job failed on
`wiggleverse-ohm` — and an evolving feature ask: have the radar kick off a Claude
session to assess/auto-remediate, make the alert emails clearer.)

## Pre-state

- flotilla-core on clean `origin/main` (post v0.10.1; edge-TLS phase-9 work shipped
  session 0001). 460 tests green.
- The "radar" = the Patchwatch **Phase 1** audit radar (SPEC §12.4): `flotilla-core
  audit <deployment>`, `flotilla_core/audit.py` + the cloud runner. Read-only by design.

## Arc

1. **Located the radar, opened the session.** Confirmed "radar" lives in this repo
   (`audit.py`, `cli.py audit` verb, `gitea.py`/`webhooks.py`; `tests/test_audit.py`).
   Claimed session 0002 (no other in-flight). Clean baseline.

2. **Diagnosis — the radar is NOT broken.** The OHM `patchwatch-radar` Cloud Run job
   (Scheduler `patchwatch-radar-6h`, project `wiggleverse-ohm`, dedicated gcloud config
   `wiggleverse`) exits 1 every 6h because `--fail-on-lane fast` correctly trips on real
   CVEs (`scanner_errors: []`). Pulled the `--json` report from Cloud Logging and ran the
   read-only radar locally against all 3 registered deployments:
   - OHM (`ohm-rfc-app`) + PPE (`rfc-app-ppe`), both pin `rfc-app@0.46.1`: **vitest
     3.2.6→4.1.0 (crit, node-app)**, **tqdm 4.9.0→4.11.2 (high, py-app)**, + 8 routine.
   - **wiggle-snip**: **h11 0.9.0→0.16.0 (crit, py-app)** + 8 routine.
   - **Coverage gap**: the always-on radar exists ONLY on OHM; PPE/wiggle-snip/ecomm have
     Cloud Run disabled → invisible until manually scanned. Phase-1 radar is read-only by
     design, so it detected-but-doesn't-remediate (expected — "rides Track Δ").

3. **Brainstormed Patchwatch Phase 2** (the operator's real ask). Operator-steered
   decisions via Q&A: empirical tests+PPE-health gate (no churn heuristic); PPE-first →
   promote prod, PPE breakage OK; remediation is a real wgl coding session; trigger =
   **queue + session-start prompt** (the operator's idea, modeled on the plugin-feedback
   mechanism) rather than an autonomous runner; findings tracked as **Gitea issues** on
   each app's repo (not a file corpus); per-app session-start surfacing; radar per
   deployment; cross-app `--all-impacted` remediation. flotilla-core-content repo =
   separate/out-of-scope. Design doc written + merged (**PR #6**).

4. **Wrote the Phase 2A "Capture" plan** (12 TDD tasks) — merged **PR #7**.

5. **Executed Phase 2A via subagent-driven development** on `feat/patchwatch-phase2a-capture`
   (reused the working venv; single session, so branch-in-place rather than a fresh
   worktree). One implementer subagent per task, controller-reviewed each diff. 12 tasks:
   `gitea.py` issue API (`_request_json`, `Issue`, list/create/edit/close/comment);
   new pure `patchwatch.py` (key/marker, routing, affected-block, issue content,
   `reconcile`, `apply_reconcile`); the `patchwatch sync` CLI verb; SPEC §12.5; a guard
   test that `audit.py` stays read-only.

6. **Final code-review pass** (reviewer subagent) caught real issues, all verified + fixed:
   - **Critical**: app/os findings were routed to `pin_source_repo` (the content repo
     holding only the pin) instead of `app_source_repo` (the framework repo whose lockfiles
     the radar actually scans — verified at audit.py:574). Fixed routing + docs.
   - **Critical**: `--layer` runs would auto-close issues for unscanned layers — scoped the
     self-heal to scanned layers.
   - **Important**: graceful write errors (HTTP status on GiteaError; CLI wraps apply) +
     label-by-name soft-handling (issue still opens, warning emitted).
   - Minor: call-time gitea lookup in the default client; dup-key comment.

## Cut state

- **Phase 2A shipped — PR #8 merged to `main`.** `flotilla-core patchwatch sync
  <deployment>` runs the read-only radar and reconciles findings into deduplicated,
  self-healing Gitea issues (routed to the lockfile-owning repo; native open/closed/label
  lifecycle). `audit.py` untouched. **476 tests green.** `main == origin/main`, clean.
- PRs this session: **#6** (design), **#7** (plan), **#8** (Phase 2A capture).
- **Honest caveat:** this built the machinery but has NOT remediated the live CVEs — the
  OHM radar still pages every 6h until the **sweep** runs (needs Phase 2B `wgl-remediate`).
  This matches the operator's "design first, let it do the sweep" call.

## Deferred decisions

None — every significant decision was operator-steered live (sequencing, gate model,
runtime/trust, trigger model, corpus→Gitea-issues, coverage, cross-app remediation,
os-layer routing). No low-confidence autonomous calls.

## Operator plate (next session)

- **Phase 2B** (in `wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin`): per-app session-start surfacing of
  open `patchwatch` issues + a new `wgl-remediate` skill (PPE→prod, tests+health gate,
  `--all-impacted`), modeled on `wgl-dev-plugin-review-feedback`.
- **sweep** (clears the live OHM alert): file + remediate rfc-app (vitest, tqdm) +
  wiggle-snip (h11).
- **Phase 2C**: radar as a standard per-deployment provisioned artifact.
- Build order B → sweep → C. Design: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-07-patchwatch-phase2-design.md`.
- (Separate open track: provisioning-side edge enforcement + gitea VM Secret-Manager OAuth scope.)

## Next /goal

```
/goal Patchwatch Phase 2B — in wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin, add per-app session-start surfacing of open patchwatch Gitea issues (warn + a ready-to-run /goal remediate prompt) and a new wgl-remediate skill (PPE→prod, tests+health gate, close via Fixes #N, plus --all-impacted cross-app), per flotilla-core/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-07-patchwatch-phase2-design.md §4.3–4.4
