Session 0040.0 — Transcript

App: dev-claude-plugin Start: 2026-06-10T00-11 (PST) End: 2026-06-10T00-44 (PST) Type: capture (tracked-lite) Status: FINALIZED

Launch prompt

/wgl-capture: Distinguish between gitea issue types. Any solution designs require a gitea issue that does not have a label of "type epic" as input. Any implementation plans require either a solution design OR a gitea issue of type story, task, or bug. Encode the hierarchy and the requirement for how much up-front thinking must be done before something can be implemented.

Plan

Turn the operator's framing of the issue-type hierarchy into one well-formed, typed, source-linked Gitea issue on the plugin tracker, via the wgl-capture flow (draft → review → file on approval).

Pre-session state

Fresh /clear → /wgl-capture. Repo on branch fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory with three untracked capture drafts already present (publish-step.md, resumable-capture.md from session 0034) plus a stray pdf. Plugin is its own content repo (CONTENT_* → wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin, CONTENT_SUBDIR='.'). In-flight: session 0035 (another session, 23-31).

Turn-by-turn arc

1. Claim. Gate satisfied by /wgl-capture. Resolved app → plugin is both content repo and tracker. Claimed tracked-lite transcript 0040 (warned on concurrent 0035, proceeded under the autonomous default).
2. Assemble + reflect. Worked purely from the operator's own thinking (BUC-3, no external signal). Reflected the hierarchy back as a table: epic → decompose; feature/story/task/bug eligible inputs; solution-designs need a non-epic input; implementation-plans need a design or a small (story/task/bug) issue; type/bug is not yet in the taxonomy and would be introduced.
3. Size-challenge. One coherent ask. AskUserQuestion on scope → operator chose One Feature (type/feature) with a decomposition checklist over Epic-with-children or draft-then-decide.
4. Draft. Authored issues/issue-type-design-gates.md — all eleven §5 sections — into the content-repo working tree (INV-8, never committed). Made one explicit judgment call: a Feature is NOT one of the plan-eligible small types, so it must go through a Solution Design; flagged it for the operator.
5. Approve → file. Operator approved. Ensured the capture labels existed (all present), re-read the draft, and filed #64 via capture-issues.sh --body-file (type/feature + priority/P2).
6. Pivot. Operator: "let's write the solution design for it" → this capture session's work was complete; the conversation transitioned to a separate brainstorming session (0041) to design #64.

Cut state (end of session)

• Filed: plugin issue #64 — "Scale required up-front design to issue type" (type/feature, priority/P2): wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin#64
• Uncommitted (INV-8): issues/issue-type-design-gates.md in the content-repo working tree — the operator's to commit/publish or discard.
• No commits, no PR (correct for capture). Tracked-lite: no spec/plan artifact at finalize (INV-6).

Deferred decisions

• Drafted the Feature as plan-ineligible-without-a-design (Feature ⇒ design first). Surfaced to the operator and confirmed during the downstream brainstorming session (0041, decision R3/D1).

What lands on the operator's plate

• Commit or discard the uncommitted issues/issue-type-design-gates.md draft (plus the two older 0034 drafts sitting beside it).

Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

(The capture pivoted straight into brainstorming 0041; see that transcript for the forward handoff — implement the design as a planning-and-executing session.)
