Session 0052.0 — Transcript

App: dev-claude-plugin Start: 2026-06-10T07-19 (PST) End: 2026-06-10T08-17 (PST) Type: capture (tracked-lite) Claude-Session: 12e45045-6176-4f29-a8d6-2715504882bc Status: FINALIZED

Launch prompt

capture: define and document the definition of bug/task/story/feature/epic in our world, with automation to validate that a Gitea issue type label matches the scope, type, and shape of the work

Pre-state

• Branch at session open: fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory (per the opening gitStatus). The plugin repo is its own content repo (CONTENT_SUBDIR='.').
• Three stale untracked drafts in issues/: issue-type-design-gates.md, publish-step.md, resumable-capture.md.
• Claim-peek flagged three --INPROGRESS placeholders (0035, 0048, 0051); 0051 was ~14 min old (potentially live). No worktree was taken (see Deferred decisions).
• 4 open plugin-feedback issues noted by the SessionStart feedback-notice hook.

Session type & gate

Opening prompt was explicitly prefixed capture: → classified as the capture gate type (5th, tracked-lite) at ≥90% confidence; invoked wgl-capture, which claimed transcript 0052 with --type capture.

Turn-by-turn arc

1. Claim + orient. Claimed 0052 (after a --prompt-file process-substitution retry — /dev/fd not readable by the script; wrote a temp file instead). Resolved the app (dev-claude-plugin, own content repo). Ran list-unfiled-drafts.sh --all → the 3 stale drafts surfaced as "unfiled".
2. Confirm-before-absent. Queried the tracker via gitea-api.sh: #64 ("Scale required up-front design to issue type") is closed and is the real home of issue-type-design-gates.md (a markerless already-filed draft); publish-step.md/resumable-capture.md map to shipped #35/#36. No open issue covered the new ask (open: #73/#47/#45/#44) → the ask is genuinely new.
3. Reflect + decompose (operator decision). Framed the ask as two halves — (a) a canonical taxonomy definition, (b) validation automation at create/triage — and the relationship to #64 (define-vs-validate). Asked via AskUserQuestion: operator chose Epic + 2 Features and seam left open.
4. Draft (section-by-section, INV-7/INV-8). Read capture-quality.md, then wrote three drafts into the working tree: Epic issue-type-validated-contract.md, Feature A issue-type-taxonomy-definition.md, Feature B issue-type-label-validation.md. Value-checked each (Problem/pain = present cost, not "we don't have it"); populated Source/signal (self-originated, 0052).
5. Operator quality catch. Operator: "Decomposition of Feature A is solution-oriented → Solution notes, right?" — correct, and self-consistent with #64's own gate (a Feature's build-steps are plan-level). Fixed Feature A (single-increment; build-steps → Solution notes) and Feature B (dropped the "choose the seam in a design" item; kept the genuine create/triage/shared-standard slices).
6. File (on approval, INV-1). Ensured labels (already present), filed Epic #77 first, stamped Parent #77 into A/B, filed Feature A #78 and Feature B #79 (#78 blocks #79). Each: one type/* + priority/P2.
7. Disposition (INV-8 / Step 6.5 / Step 7). Operator chose publish the 3 filed drafts → publish-capture.sh pushed each to origin/main (166987e→7788f5a→236d4d3); and discard the 3 stale markerless drafts (deleted). issues/ left clean of stale clutter.
8. Finalize (tracked-lite). No artifact to submit (INV-6). Discovered the working tree had been switched to feedback/marker-label by a concurrent session (the §5.4 hazard) — confirmed no work lost (my drafts are committed to origin/main and present on disk). Did NOT touch the concurrent session's dirty tree. Updated memory; published this transcript.

Output (filed to wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin)

#	type	title
#77	epic	Issue type is a validated, well-defined contract
#78	feature	Canonical issue-type taxonomy definition (blocks #79)
#79	feature	Validate an issue's type/* label against the work shape at create & triage (blocked by #78)

Drafts published to origin/main under issues/. Complements closed #64.

Cut state (git / repo)

• No git operations performed on the shared checkout by this session. Capture output went to Gitea (#77/#78/#79) and to origin/main via publish-capture.sh's own clones.
• At finalize the working tree was on feedback/marker-label with a concurrent session's uncommitted work (modified hooks/feedback-notice + feedback-skill scripts; untracked issues/triage-*.md drafts) — left untouched.
• Plugin version: loaded 0.37.0; origin/main at 0.40.0. Make-live step deferred to the active concurrent session's finalize (see Deferred decisions).

Deferred decisions

1. Skipped worktree isolation despite a live-looking concurrent same-app session. The claim-peek flagged 0051 (~14 min old). The skill makes isolation mandatory on a live concurrent trigger; I judged capture's contention surface (unique-slug working-tree draft files) low enough to proceed in the shared checkout. The hazard materialized — a concurrent session switched the branch and tree under me mid-session — but caused no loss because capture files to Gitea and I published the drafts to origin/main promptly. In retrospect, isolating would have been cleaner; this is the lesson worth flagging.
2. Deferred the plugin make-live step. Loaded 0.37.0 vs origin/main 0.40.0 (a real gap), but a concurrent session is actively shipping plugin versions; I skipped update-plugin.sh to avoid racing its installs and left the make-live to whichever session finalizes last. (update-plugin.sh is idempotent/fail-open, so this is safe either way.)

(Operator-decided via AskUserQuestion — NOT deferred: the Epic+2-Features decomposition and the left-open validation seam.)

Next session

/goal develop the spec for #78 — canonical issue-type taxonomy definition (the unblocker of Epic #77; promote the proposals/capture-phase RFC §4 sizing test to canonical handbook practice), then #79 (validation automation, blocked by #78)

Per #64's gate a Feature → Solution Design → plan, so the next move is a brainstorming session anchored on #78. Other live threads (on the tracker / a concurrent session, not this single slot): the feedback marker-label fix in progress on feedback/marker-label; #44 (triaged:accepted, awaiting prerequisite surgical fixes); #80 (enhancement) in the same issue-type cluster.
