Session 0029.0 — Transcript

App: dev-claude-plugin Start: 2026-06-09T06-33 (PST) · End: 2026-06-09T12-48 (PST) Type: brainstorming Status: FINALIZED

Launch prompt

/wgl-brainstorming https://git.wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin/issues/25

Brainstorm + write the Solution-Design spec for issue #25 —
"wgl-capture MVP — signal in session → typed, source-linked Gitea issues"
(Feature under Epic #24 "wgl-capture — the Capture phase skill").

Canonical design: engineering RFC proposals/capture-phase-and-gitea-native-flow.md
(§2.5 Capture · §5 issue template · §6 acceptance · §11.1 wgl-capture).

Outcome

A brainstorming session that produced the reviewed Solution Design for the wgl-capture MVP (Feature #25, Epic #24) and merged it to main via PR #29 (e2103c6). Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-09-wgl-capture-mvp-design.md, landed at v0.3.0 after two in-session reframes driven by operator review. No plugin version bump — a brainstorming session ships a spec, not code. The slice checklist was written onto Feature #25 (the RFC §8.1/§9 required brainstorming output). No skill was built; that is the downstream wgl-planning-and-executing work (the slices).

Pre-state

Source at main = v0.23.0 (6ed6a23) at session open; a concurrent dev-claude-plugin session 0030 (OHM / ohm-presence-notice, v0.24.0) was running in the same shared checkout and merged PR #28 mid-session.
Stored Next /goal = Patchwatch rfc-app remediation (parked at a depth call); this session was an explicit-goal interrupt (launched on #25) and did not consume it.
Issue #25 = type/feature, triaged:accepted, priority/P0; canonical design = the engineering Capture RFC, present only on branch proposals/capture-phase (not engineering main).

Turn-by-turn arc (uncurated — includes the reframes and the collision)

Open + claim. Got start time; read #25 + parent Epic #24 via gitea-api.sh (issue-scoped token); peeked (claim-session-id.sh --dry-run) — no concurrent in-history placeholders flagged — and claimed session 0029 (--type brainstorming). Read the Capture RFC from commit f03abc4 on proposals/capture-phase. Verified clean pushed main baseline; seeded the transcript Plan; noted the Patchwatch goal is overridden by this explicit launch.
Explore + clarify (superpowers:brainstorming). Mapped the integration surface (claim-session-id.sh types, finalize Step-0 dispatch, the 4-type session gate, file-feedback.sh as the filing analog). Asked 4 design questions → review gate, target tracker, signal intake, WSJF depth.
Spec v0.1.0 — batch model. Wrote the Solution Design as a one-shot "distill a signal → confirm → file" gesture. Committed + pushed feat/wgl-capture-mvp-spec, opened PR #29 (initially v0.1.0). Presented for review.
Reframe → v0.2.0 (operator). Operator: capture is an interactive working session, context assembled in-session (external signal optional). Re-asked scope → "assembled in-session, external signal optional" + "needs a rethink". Proposed a draft-state model; operator clarified the model = author each issue in place on the live Gitea issue, section by section, reviewed rendered on Gitea. Rewrote to v0.2.0.
§5.4 COLLISION (live). While pushing v0.2.0, the concurrent 0030 session had reset the shared checkout's branch/HEAD: my v0.1.0 commit 2d10ff7 was swept into main via PR #28's branch, my v0.2.0 reframe got committed onto feat/ohm-guiding-principles as 5113a47, and the working file reverted to v0.1.0. Recovered: backed up v0.2.0, re-authored on a fresh branch feat/wgl-capture-spec off main in an isolated worktree (the §5.4-prescribed move), re-pushed, re-opened the PR cleanly. Nothing lost.
Slice checklist (operator caught a gap). Operator asked what Gitea issues were being created. Answer: only the runtime output issues the skill would create — and I had not emitted the slice checklist onto Feature #25, which the RFC §8.1/§9 makes a required brainstorming output. Fixed: PATCHed #25's Decomposition into a SLICE-1/2/3 (+ deferred SLICE-4) checklist.
Reframe → v0.3.0 (operator). Operator reconsidered the review surface: persist sections to a markdown file, reviewed in VS Code, rather than the live Gitea issue — converging on markdown in the app's content repo (so it's reviewable both in VS Code and, once published, on rfc.wiggleverse.org). Settled: <content>/issues/<slug>.md (an issues/ collection alongside specs//plans/), target = the app's own content repo, working-tree only (skill never commits/pushes), issue filed from the approved file. Rewrote to v0.3.0 in the worktree, pushed to PR #29.
Approval + merge. Operator approved ("This looks great"). Merged PR #29 to main (e2103c6), removed the worktree, fast-forwarded local main.
Finalize. This wrap-up: memory updated, transcript published. Brainstorming addendum submit-spec.sh no-op'd (plugin has no content role — the spec is recorded in the plugin's own docs/superpowers/specs/ via PR #29 instead).

Cut state (what landed)

main @ e2103c6 carries the spec at v0.3.0.
Feature #25 carries its slice checklist (SLICE-1 plumbing · SLICE-2 filing layer · SLICE-3 the interactive skill; SLICE-4 resume + the publish step are deferred follow-ups).
No code/skill built; no version bump (correct for a brainstorming session).

Loose ends / gotchas for next time

Q2 (live): the plugin's app.json has no content role → capturing about the plugin itself has nowhere to draft. Give the plugin a content role, or dogfood wgl-capture against an app that already has a content repo.
Q1: intake boundary — dev-provided URL/file/text in, automated recorder discovery out (unconfirmed; my recommendation stands).
Q3: does rfc-app need front-matter in issues/<slug>.md to render on rfc.wiggleverse.org (publish-time; informs the draft template).
RFC §11.3 unbuilt: wgl-brainstorming does not yet emit the slice checklist onto the Feature issue (had to do it by hand) — worth filing/building.
§5.4 leftover artifacts (operator's to clear — deletes were permission-denied): stray commit 5113a47 on the merged feat/ohm-guiding-principles; stale branch feat/wgl-capture-mvp-spec (= 2d10ff7, ⊂ main). Worktree already removed. An untracked …-design.pdf (operator's review export) left in the working tree, not committed.

Deferred decisions

Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls. All substantive design decisions this session were made WITH the operator (AskUserQuestion + dialogue), so the only entry is the recovery improvisation:

§5.4 concurrent-checkout collision recovery. Chose to recover via an isolated worktree + a fresh branch (feat/wgl-capture-spec) off main and re-open the PR, rather than force-pushing the stale branch (force-push / remote-branch-delete were also permission-denied). Alternative considered: reset the stale branch in place (rejected — risked colliding again with the concurrent session). Left the stray commit / stale branch for the operator to delete.

Next-session prompt

/goal wgl-capture SLICE-1 — tracked-lite capture session plumbing: accept --type capture
in claim-session-id.sh, add a `capture` branch to wgl-session-finalize (publish the
transcript only, no spec/plan submit), and add the 5th type to hooks/session-gate.md,
per docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-09-wgl-capture-mvp-design.md §7.2 and Feature #25's
slice checklist

SLICE-2 (capture-issues.sh + ensure-capture-labels.sh) is parallelizable; SLICE-3 (the skill) wants spec Q2 resolved first. The Patchwatch rfc-app remediation goal remains parked (blocked on a depth call) — switch to it explicitly if preferred. Read memory/project_dev_claude_plugin.md (the 0029 entry + the Next /goal: / Parked goal: fields) before starting.
