# SESSION-0004.0 — Shopify BDD analysis: content and online-store
**Date:** 2026-05-31
**Driver:** Ben Stull + Claude (Sonnet 4.6)
**Repos touched:** wiggleverse-ecomm-meta (session record),
Shopify Analysis workspace (`~/projects/wiggleverse/ecomm/Claude/Shopify Analysis/` — not a git repo; flat file workspace)
> **Honesty note on this artifact.** This is a *session record* authored by
> the assistant from the conversation — faithful and uncurated as to
> decisions, sequence, and wrong turns, but **not** the raw byte-for-byte
> transcript. OHM publishes raw transcripts via `ohm-infra`'s
> `publish-transcript.sh`; ecomm has no such tooling yet. Building a
> transcript-dump path is a future roadmap item. Until then, records like
> this stand in — labeled as what they are.

## Purpose
Continue the Shopify BDD scenario library. Eight domains were already complete
after Sessions 23 (settings, products, orders, customers, marketing,
discounts — 36 files, ~730 scenarios). Session 3's kickoff prompt put
`content/` first in the queue. This session targeted the next two domains:
`content/` and `online-store/`.
## What happened, in order
1. **Session opened; memory loaded.** Ben said "Continue the Shopify BDD
work." Memory was read (`project-shopify-bdd.md`) — confirmed the domain
queue, locked style rules, and running totals (36 files, ~730 scenarios at
session open). No realignment needed; picked up directly at `content/`.
2. **Stale memory entry noticed and cleaned.** The remaining-domains list in
`project-shopify-bdd.md` contained `content/` listed twice (lines 1 and 4)
and `discounts/` listed again (line 3), despite discounts already being
marked complete. These were artefacts of a prior-session edit. The memory
was corrected when the first domain completed.
3. **content/ — 4 files written serially.** `files.md` (uploading — size
limits, type restrictions, video, PDF; browsing — filter, search, sort,
pagination, file detail; managing — delete, bulk delete, rename, in-use
guard, re-upload same name; using — rich-text insertion, PDF link, file
metafield, product gallery video), `metaobjects.md` (defining types —
create, field types, required flag, display name, deletion with and without
data; managing entries — CRUD, validation, search, pagination, duplicate;
storefront capabilities — access toggle, URL/handle, template assignment;
type administration — rename, API identifier, delete empty vs. with
entries), `pages.md` (create/edit — rich text, images, publish, hide, edit
live, delete, duplicate; SEO and URL — custom title/description, handle,
auto-generate, view URL, canonical; templates — assign, revert, no-options
case; list management — search, filter, sort, bulk publish, bulk delete,
count), `blogs.md` (managing blogs — create, rename, handle, delete empty,
delete with posts, comment moderation modes; posts — create, rich text,
images, featured image, publish immediately, schedule, unpublish, edit
live, delete; post SEO and metadata — SEO fields, handle, auto-generate,
author, tags; comments — approve, reject, delete, reply, bulk moderate;
RSS feed — availability, post appears after publish, unpublished excluded).
~110 scenarios. Memory updated; running total 40 files / ~840 scenarios.
4. **online-store/ — 4 files written serially.** `themes.md` (browsing —
view installed, browse free and paid, filter by industry, preview;
install/publish — add free, purchase paid, publish with confirmation,
upload ZIP, invalid ZIP guard; duplicate/rename; download and delete —
download ZIP, delete unpublished, block delete-live-theme, confirmation;
updates — available badge, apply update, review changelog), `theme-editor.md`
(open — live and unpublished theme, page-type navigation, device viewport
toggle; sections — add, reorder by drag, remove, hide, page scoping;
blocks — add, reorder, remove, configure; settings — edit text, background,
theme-wide colors/typography, featured collection, item count limit, preview
live changes, save, discard-with-confirm; code editor — open, edit Liquid,
create file, delete file, invalid syntax guard, asset files, locale files;
versioning — view file history, restore version, revert to snapshot),
`navigation.md` (menus — view, create, rename, delete, view handle; adding
items — collection, product, page, blog, post, custom URL, home, search,
custom label; reorder and nest — drag top-level, create dropdown by indent,
multiple children, un-nest, reorder within sub-menu; edit and remove items —
label, destination, remove with children, save; linking to theme regions —
header, footer, handle-based reference), `preferences.md` (store identity —
title, meta description, favicon, remove favicon, social sharing image;
analytics — GA4 add/remove, Facebook Pixel add/remove, GDPR note;
password protection — enable with password, custom message, disable,
correct/incorrect password, staff bypass; spam protection — enable/disable
reCAPTCHA; store status notices — trial banner, paused store, custom domain
visible). ~120 scenarios. Memory updated; running total 44 files / ~960 scenarios.
5. **Session record requested.** Ben issued the record request with the exact
filename pre-assigned (`SESSION-0004.0-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-31.md`), the
target path, and explicit format instructions. He referenced SESSION-0001.0
as the house-style exemplar and named SESSION-0003.0 as the "latest
existing" to check.
6. **Sessions folder not mounted; access requested and approved.** The
sessions directory (`~/projects/wiggleverse/ecomm/git/wiggleverse-ecomm-meta/sessions`)
is not one of the two pre-connected workspace folders. `request_cowork_directory`
was called with the explicit path; Ben approved it. Read SESSION-0001.0 and
SESSION-0003.0 for house style before writing.
7. **Minor bash mount confusion.** When verifying the mounted shopify path
(`/sessions/adoring-eager-bardeen/mnt/shopify/`) it appeared empty — the
mount is `research/shopify`, not the entire `wiggleverse-ecomm-meta` tree.
This was a quick dead-end; the correct approach was using file tools with
the host path once the sessions folder was approved.
8. **Session record written (this file).** Serial from main agent context; no
subagents. Matches SESSION-0001.0 / SESSION-0003.0 house style.
## Decisions citable later
- **Memory stale-entry cleanup is part of the update step.** When a domain-
done edit reveals leftover cruft (duplicate entries, already-completed items
in the remaining list), fix it in the same edit — don't leave it for the
next session.
- **`online-store/` navigation.md records the menu-handle contract explicitly.**
Handle is set at creation, is not auto-updated on rename, and is how Liquid
references menus — this is a meaningful design constraint for the platform.
- **Theme editor versioning is file-level, not whole-theme snapshot (outside
the explicit restore-snapshot case).** Captured in `theme-editor.md`;
relevant for how we design theme management in the platform.
- **Serial single-agent approach continues to hold quality.** Two domains × 4
files each, no style drift observed across 8 files written in a single
context.
## Open / carried forward
- **`general.md` first-person inconsistency** — carried from Session 2,
still unresolved. Ben to decide.
- **4 domains remaining** (in queue order):
`analytics/`, `finance/`, `markets/`, `sales-channels/`.
- **Running total: 44 files, ~960 scenarios** (well above the original ~525+
estimate; final count will likely reach ~1 200+).
- **No git history on Shopify Analysis workspace** — still a flat folder.
- **Sessions folder must be re-approved each session** — it is not a
pre-connected workspace folder; `request_cowork_directory` will be needed
again to write the next record.
## Next session
```
This is the next session of the ecomm Shopify BDD analysis project.
READ FIRST:
- Your memory for this project (project-shopify-bdd.md via MEMORY.md).
- ~/projects/wiggleverse/ecomm/Claude/Shopify Analysis/shopify-domain-map.md
— the full domain list and session breakdown.
- ~/projects/wiggleverse/ecomm/git/wiggleverse-ecomm-meta/sessions/SESSION-0004.0-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-31.md
— especially "Decisions citable later" and "Open / carried forward."
CONTEXT:
Eight domains are complete: settings/ (15 files), products/ (6 files),
orders/ (5 files), customers/ (3 files), marketing/ (4 files),
discounts/ (3 files), content/ (4 files), online-store/ (4 files).
Running total: 44 files, ~960 scenarios.
TASK: Continue writing Gherkin BDD scenarios for the remaining four domains,
in this order:
1. analytics/ — dashboard, reports (sales/customer/acquisition/behavior/
inventory/finance/custom), live view
2. finance/ — Shopify Balance, payouts, bills, tax reports
3. markets/ — market list, create market, market pricing, currency,
language/translation, domain/subfolder, product
availability, duty/tax rules per market
4. sales-channels/ — Online Store channel, POS, Shop app, Buy Button,
Facebook & Instagram, Google, TikTok, headless/Hydrogen
For each domain:
- Create a new folder under ~/projects/wiggleverse/ecomm/Claude/Shopify Analysis/
- Write one .md file per sub-section (match the Shopify admin nav labels,
kebab-case filenames)
- Follow the locked style rules exactly (business-behavior altitude,
first-person steps, Background block per page context, But for negatives,
H2 headers for groups within a file, no Scenario Outlines unless a table
genuinely adds clarity)
- After each domain, update project-shopify-bdd.md in memory
DONE WHEN: all four remaining domains are written, memory is updated, and the
session record is written to:
~/projects/wiggleverse/ecomm/git/wiggleverse-ecomm-meta/sessions/SESSION-0005.0-TRANSCRIPT-<date>.md
NOTE: The sessions folder is not pre-connected — call request_cowork_directory
for ~/projects/wiggleverse/ecomm/git/wiggleverse-ecomm-meta/sessions before
writing the record.
