Session 0012.0 — Transcript
Date: 2026-05-28 Goal: Execute Wave 5 of
ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.mdas the autonomous driver per the "Operating instructions for the next session" section. The operator's bedtime prompt asked for three items dispatched in parallel — #13 Amplitude → v0.15.0 (Track A; originally wave-paused on operator-providedAMPLITUDE_API_KEY), #12 Owner-only invite → v0.16.0 (Track B), and #16 Admin-create user + invite email → v0.17.0 (Track C extension; layers on top of v0.9.0's/admin/userssurface). Mid-session, the operator returned to the keyboard and added three roadmap items + a meaningful enlargement of #13's scope.Outcome: All three Wave-5 features shipped to OHM live.
- #13 Amplitude shipped as rfc-app v0.15.0 to OHM live (
deploys.id=19, all 9 phases green,/api/healthreturns{"version":"0.15.0","status":"ok"}). Vendor's recommended@amplitude/unifiedpackage withinitAll(KEY, { analytics: { autocapture: true }, sessionReplay: { sampleRate: 1 } }). Bound viaflotilla overlay set ohm-rfc-app VITE_AMPLITUDE_API_KEY=…, notsecret set— Amplitude browser keys are bundle-embedded (same nature asVITE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY). The "wave pause for operator secret-set" the bedtime prompt anticipated didn't materialize in that shape; instead the operator returned mid-session, provisioned the Amplitude project, surfaced the vendor's installation prompt (which contained the public key inline), and the binding settled as overlay. Conversation-layer hard rule respected: the key value was operator-provided voluntarily, not asked for.- #12 Owner-only invite shipped as rfc-app v0.16.0 to OHM live (
deploys.id=20, all 9 phases green,/api/healthreturns{"version":"0.16.0","status":"ok"}). Per-RFCcontributor/discussantroles, transactional email, migration018_rfc_invitations.sql.- #16 Admin-create user + invite shipped as rfc-app v0.17.0 to OHM live (
deploys.id=21, all 9 phases green,/api/healthreturns{"version":"0.17.0","status":"ok"}). Admin-driven user provisioning with optional custom message, opaque-token claim flow, migration019_user_invite_tokens.sql.Plus three new roadmap items captured mid-session (
ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.mditems #20, #21, #22 — see arc 7 below): email deliverability (DNS + SMTP + template hygiene), Amplitude audit + standing instrumentation discipline (with Part C identity-lifecycle work folded inline into all three v0.15.0 / v0.16.0 / v0.17.0 release commits), and pro-analytics-consent copy on the privacy/cookies opt-in (with legal caveats spelled out so the drafting accounts for 501(c)(3)-planned-not-granted status, "no external sharing" honesty about Amplitude as the processor, and consent-coercion risk).Side effect of the pin jumping from
0.12.0→0.15.0→0.16.0→0.17.0: OHM now also runs v0.13.0's cookie-consent banner and v0.14.0's/docsroute, which had been integrated onmainsince Session 0010.0 but were not currently deployed because the pin had rolled back during Session 0011.0's Wave-4 sequence.
Pre-session state
- rfc-app:
mainatb3f1b15(Release 0.12.0 — Turnstile).VERSION=0.12.0.frontend/package.json#version=0.12.0. Tags shipped through v0.14.0; the v0.x lineage isv0.2.0, .1, .2, .3, v0.3.0, v0.4.0, v0.5.0, v0.6.0, v0.7.0, v0.8.0, v0.9.0, v0.10.0, v0.11.0, v0.12.0, v0.13.0, v0.14.0. Last migration on disk:017_device_trust.sql(slot 016 reserved + skipped per Session 0011.0). - ohm-rfc:
.rfc-app-version=0.12.0. The pin was "below" v0.13.0 (cookie banner) and v0.14.0 (/docs) — those features were integrated on rfc-appmainbut not currently deployed to OHM. Any Wave-5 pin bump past0.12.0would pick up both side-effect features; flagged in arc 1 + reconfirmed at the arc 6 deploy. ROADMAP main was at9654cbb(post-Session-K ROADMAP: #10 v0.12.0 shipped row). - OHM live: serving

mainat65c0e55(CLAUDE.md secret-set gesture correction). No flotilla work expected in Wave 5; none performed. - ohm-infra: most recent transcript is Session 0011.0
(
SESSION-0011.0-TRANSCRIPT-2026-05-28T03-20--2026-05-28T03-55.md). Next letter is L (Session 0011.0 = previous driver; Session 0010.0 = the parallel docs-feature / v0.14.0 session that ran during Session 0009.0's wind-down). - Hard rule baked in mid-Session-K: never EVER ask the operator
to paste secret bytes into the conversation. Stayed honored
through this session — the Amplitude key the operator pasted is
a public bundle-embedded value (same nature as
VITE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY), which CLAUDE.md explicitly carves out as fine to receive in conversation. The driver did not ask for any value; the operator volunteered the vendor's installation prompt (which contained the key inline) + confirmed it. Reconciliation between the bedtime prompt's "wave-pauses on AMPLITUDE_API_KEY" framing and the actual vendor-recommended overlay binding is documented as the v0.15.0 CHANGELOG's "Caveat — overlay binding" section.
Turn-by-turn arc
The session moves through nine arcs, in order.
Arc 1 — Reconnaissance + dispatch
The driver read ~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-PROTOCOL.md and
/Users/benstull/projects/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.md
end-to-end, verified pre-session ground truth (rfc-app main at
b3f1b15, OHM serves v0.12.0 at deploys.id=18, ohm-rfc pin at
0.12.0), and dispatched three subagents in a single message
with parallel Agent tool uses, subagent_type: general-purpose,
running in the background. Each subagent created its own
git worktree add in /Users/benstull/git/rfc-app-<target-version- slug> (the Agent tool's worktree isolation only covers the
flotilla CWD, not the rfc-app CWD subagents needed — Session 0011.0
lesson). Each prompt was self-contained: full roadmap text,
target version, reserved migration slot (018 for ν, 019 for ο,
none for ξ), descending-order CHANGELOG insertion point, hard
constraints (do NOT tag, do NOT touch the ohm-rfc pin, do NOT
run flotilla deploy, no force-push, no --amend, no secret
bytes, no git config edits), and a structured reporting brief.
Worktree base discovered via ls -la /Users/benstull/git/. One
ground-truth correction caught early: ~/git/ohm-infra is NOT a
git repo locally — it's a working directory the publish script
clones the remote wiggleverse/ohm-session-history into. Session
K's prompt phrased it correctly; the driver's first cd ~/git/ohm-infra && git log failed and surfaced the right model.
Arc 2 — Operator returns mid-session: Amplitude scope settled
While the three subagents were running in the background, the operator returned to the keyboard and surfaced the Amplitude provisioning:
- "I provisioned an Amplitude instance."
- The vendor's installation-wizard prompt (verbatim — it included
the API key inline as a literal string argument:
amplitude.initAll('741709e30574cc8314b83b763f675c32', { "analytics": { "autocapture": true }, "sessionReplay": { "sampleRate": 1 } });— and recommended the@amplitude/unifiedpackage). - "I have the amplitude API key… can set that secret when we're ready. Or, if it's not a secret and is really a public thing that's in JavaScript, can provide it here."
The driver settled three things in one response:
- Secret vs. public: the Amplitude browser key is bundle-
embedded by design (visible in dev tools; vendor's own prompt
shows it as a literal string argument). Same nature as
VITE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEYfrom v0.12.0, which is explicitly public per CLAUDE.md. The right binding isflotilla overlay set, notflotilla secret set. The roadmap row #13's "new secret: AMPLITUDE_API_KEY" wording predated vendor consultation; corrected at the v0.15.0 CHANGELOG + the shipped-row update. - Scope change: the vendor recommends
@amplitude/unified(analytics + session replay bundled) instead of the@amplitude/analytics-browserthe dispatch brief specified.sampleRate: 1(100% session replay) is the vendor default — meaningfully larger privacy footprint than events-only. The driver surfaced three options to the operator via AskUserQuestion: events only / events + replay 10% / events- replay 100% (vendor default). The operator picked **events
- session replay @ 100% (vendor default)**.
- In-flight subagent: ξ was already running under the
pre-vendor brief; no
SendMessagetool available in this harness to redirect it; chosen path is "let ξ finish, driver post-corrects on the branch" since the post-correction is tight and mechanical (package swap, init-call rewrite, CHANGELOG MUST-step rewrite). The wrapper structure, event taxonomy, and consent integration ξ would produce were brief-correct and would survive the post-correction unchanged.
Arc 3 — Operator surfaces roadmap items #20, #21, #22
Across three messages while the subagents were running, the operator added three new roadmap items:
- #20 Email deliverability — "do whatever we can to prevent
invites from going to the spam folder." Captured during arc 5
before any subagent had returned. Scope spelled out: DNS (SPF,
DKIM, DMARC, BIMI follow-up), SMTP-provider posture (verified
sender domain, warm-up), From / Reply-To hygiene (no
noreply@), rfc-app template hygiene (plain-text alternative,List-Unsubscribe+List-Unsubscribe-Postper RFC 8058, bounce handling), engagement signals, monitoring (mail-tester, Postmaster Tools, DMARCrua=). Overlap with #18 (Secure SMTP- Gitea webhook) flagged explicitly; likely shipped together.
Two-layer rule honored: rfc-app template hygiene is
framework-wide, DNS + SMTP-provider config + BIMI logo are
OHM-specific. Sequencing: don't block #12 / #16 on this; the
real-world inbox/spam data from those first invite blasts
informs the #20 sweep afterward. Committed to ohm-rfc at
2072663.
- Gitea webhook) flagged explicitly; likely shipped together.

real-world inbox/spam data from those first invite blasts
informs the #20 sweep afterward. Committed to ohm-rfc at
- #21 Amplitude audit + standing instrumentation discipline —
captured after the operator extended Amplitude scope in arc 2.
Two-part structure: Part A (deep audit of v0.15.0's taxonomy +
autocapture + replay quality once a week of real data is in)
- Part B (standing discipline: SPEC.md analytics chapter,
rfc-app CONTRIBUTING checklist, optional CI lint).
Subsequently extended with Part C after the operator said:
"ensure a new user in Amplitude is created when an invite is
sent and we have a user with the OHM user ID set on that
event"; "appropriate pattern for setting user properties on
login + clearing on logout"; "implement Amplitude best
practices from the very get-go". Part C captures the
user-identity lifecycle contract (setUserId + identify
properties on sign-in; setUserProperties on mid-session state
change; reset on sign-out; identify-BEFORE-track on invite-
claim so the Amplitude record is created with the OHM user_id
from the first event rather than as an anonymous device that
retroactively links). Part C explicitly names what "ships
inline in Session 0012.0" vs. what waits for the data-informed
audit. Committed to ohm-rfc at
f006d33(Parts A + B), then1c88f71(Part C added).

audit. Committed to ohm-rfc at
- #22 Pro-analytics-consent copy on the privacy/cookies
opt-in — captured later: "add language to the privacy /
cookies opt-in that asks people to consider allowing analytics
and we promise we won't share it externally — we're a
non-profit and will only use it to make the experience better
(if that language is legal)." Legal caveats spelled out in
the item itself: 501(c)(3) is planned not granted per the
project memory (copy MUST NOT claim "we are a 501(c)(3)"
today; defensible alternatives are "being formed as", "non-
commercial project", or neutral "operated by Wiggleverse Org"
with an explainer); "never shared externally" is literally
untrue because Amplitude IS an external service (defensible
framing is "don't sell or trade" + "Amplitude holds it on our
behalf"); purpose-limitation pledges are enforceable; GDPR /
CCPA caution about coerced consent; withdrawal must stay easy.
Drafting flow: operator drafts → counsel reviews → subagent
wires approved text into banner +
/privacy+/cookies(the wiring step is small and mechanical). Committed to ohm-rfc at26b4684.
Arc 4 — Session ξ returns; driver post-corrects on its branch
ξ completed at 0fd8c52 on feature/v0.15.0-amplitude (origin +
benstull). 14 files touched; the nine-event taxonomy (Page
Viewed, RFC Viewed, User Signed In / Signed Out, RFC Proposed,
PR Opened, Comment Posted, Beta Access Requested, Admin
Permission Decision) wired into App.jsx, Login.jsx, ProposeModal,
PRModal, RFCView, RFCDiscussionPanel, PRView, Admin. Consent gate
read at frontend/src/lib/consent.js:91 (getConsent) and :102
(onConsentChange). One env-var-naming flag from ξ that the
post-correction also resolves: ξ used VITE_AMPLITUDE_API_KEY in
code (Vite prefix convention) but the brief specified
AMPLITUDE_API_KEY in the CHANGELOG MUST-step; the overlay-
binding correction made the env-var-naming inconsistency moot.
Driver post-correction (on the same branch, as a follow-up commit
6cfbf69 — no amend of pushed commits):
- Package:
npm uninstall @amplitude/analytics-browser && npm install @amplitude/unified(resolved to^1.1.9). - Init call:
mod.init(KEY, undefined, { defaultTracking: false }).promise→mod.initAll(KEY, { analytics: { autocapture: true }, sessionReplay: { sampleRate: 1 } })with a defensiveif (ret && ret.promise) await ret.promisefor unified-build variance. - CHANGELOG MUST step: secret-set →
flotilla overlay set ohm-rfc-app VITE_AMPLITUDE_API_KEY=<key>. New Caveat sections spelled out the binding choice + the session-replay scope (with the separate-consent-category future-work flagged as §19.2). frontend/.env.example: VITE_AMPLITUDE_API_KEY block rewritten to describe the overlay binding.- Wrapper header comment + warning text updated to reference unified + overlay.
- Wrapper structure, event taxonomy, queue + drain, consent integration, anonymize-on-sign-out: all unchanged from ξ's work.
- Frontend build verified green; pushed to origin + benstull
at
6cfbf69.
Arc 5 — Sessions ο, then ν return
ο completed at 41b0c6a on
feature/v0.17.0-admin-create-user. 33 backend tests total in
ο's surface (15 new in test_admin_create_user_invite_vertical.py).
Notable decisions: opaque DB token (256-bit CSPRNG, bcrypt-at-
rest, 7-day TTL constant INVITE_TOKEN_TTL_DAYS = 7); immediate-
send (no admin-review queue); no bulk-invite (deferred); OTC
skipped on first sign-in (token = proof of email control); no
users table changes (the brief floated first_sign_in_at IS NULL as the discriminator, but the existing
users.last_seen_at is NOT NULL with datetime('now') default
- no
first_sign_in_atcolumn existed — so the discriminator became "active row inuser_invite_tokensjoined on invited_user_id" instead, and/api/admin/userscarries a newpending_invitefield via that join); admin self-grant refusals (422 self-invite, 409 duplicate, 422 non-owner granting owner); newpermission_eventsevent_kind'user_invited'for the audit trail;/api/invites/claimlives inmain.py's oauth_router (shares_set_device_trust_cookiehelper with/auth/otc/verify); inviter display name reads off the DB row fresh (not from the session-cookie cache). Admin.jsx touched additively only — button + modal + badge + listing-field consumption; existing component shape preserved.
ν completed last (~30 min vs ο's ~19 and ξ's ~12) at
a51beec on feature/v0.16.0-owner-invite. 237 backend tests
total in ν's surface (18 new in test_rfc_invitations_vertical.py;
6 existing tests in test_pr_flow / test_graduation / test_e2e_smoke
opted into the new contract via a new grant_rfc_collaborator
helper). Notable: per-RFC roles are contributor (PR + discussion)
or discussant (discussion only); re-accept that would lower the
role is a no-op; the per-RFC gate falls through to the v0.6.0
platform-granted contract when an RFC has no frontmatter owners
yet (super-draft pre-§13.1 claim); accept endpoint requires the
accepting user's email to match the invitee's
invitee_email case-insensitively; platform-grant decision stays
the admin's call (accepting a per-RFC invite while pending
surfaces on /api/admin/users as the rfc_invitations array per
user — informing, not deciding, the platform grant); email
dispatch reuses EmailConfig.from_env() + _SENT like
email_otc.py; send failure does NOT roll back the invite row
(owner has the token on the listing surface for an out-of-band
share); regex email validation (^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+$) instead of
pydantic EmailStr to avoid pulling in email-validator,
matching the v0.7.0 OTC body's shape. ν did NOT touch
Admin.jsx directly — the /api/admin/users response gained an
additive rfc_invitations array (forward-compat for the existing
UI), so the Admin.jsx-collision risk with ο that the bedtime
prompt flagged did not materialize. The conflict moved to
backend/app/api_admin.py (both ν and ο extended different
response fields + ο added new endpoints) — additive in different
scopes, hand-reconcilable.
Arc 6 — Integration, with #21 Part C wiring folded inline
The driver squash-merged each branch into rfc-app main in
version order, hand-resolving conflicts and adding inline
Amplitude wiring per #21 Part C "ships inline in Session 0012.0":
v0.15.0 integration — fast-forward squash from b3f1b15
(no conflicts: main was at ξ's base). Driver-side extensions
folded in BEFORE the release commit:
analytics.js:identify(...)signature extended to{ user_id, properties? }— properties apply via a new internalapplyProperties(props)that builds an AmplitudeIdentifyevent with.set(k, v)semantics by default and.setOnce(k, v)semantics when the value is wrapped as['__setOnce__', v](the sentinel pattern). New publicsetUserProperties(properties)API exposed the same property-apply path for mid-session state changes.anonymize()now clears_pendingPropertiestoo so a fresh sign-in doesn't carry-over the previous user's property cache.App.jsx: identify call extended to pass a viewer-derived property bag —role/permission_state/passcode_set/device_trusted(mutable.set()),first_sign_in_at/account_created_at(immutable.setOnce()). PII discipline preserved: no email, no display_name, no gitea_login.- CHANGELOG opening summary, Added wrapper bullet, and Added user-binding bullet rewritten to reflect the extensions.

Arc 7 — Three serialized deploys to OHM

- Overlay set:
flotilla overlay set ohm-rfc-app VITE_AMPLITUDE_API_KEY=…ran first. Confirmed viaflotilla overlay show ohm-rfc-app— the key joinedVITE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEYand the other non-secret overlay values; all five Secret-Manager refs unchanged. - v0.15.0: pin bumped, committed

No deploy aborts, no rollbacks, no surprises. The "stop on first deploy failure" Wave constraint never engaged.
Arc 8 — ROADMAP strikethroughs
ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.md rows for #12, #13, #16 struck through with
release-tag links + deploys.id references. #13's note records
the mid-session binding correction ("originally said secret set AMPLITUDE_API_KEY; settled as overlay set VITE_AMPLITUDE_API_KEY") so the historical record is honest
about the pre-vendor wording. Committed at 47cb2f9, pushed.
Arc 9 — Protocol amendment: subagent transcripts (Session-L-introduced)
After the driver had written what it thought was the final Session 0012.0 transcript, the operator surfaced a series of follow-up asks:
- "Prompt for next session pls?" + "and update transcript" — straightforward; the next-session prompt was already at the bottom of the transcript file, and the driver surfaced it as a copy-pasteable block in the conversation.
- "Do the forked agents get transcripts captured? If not, let's make sure they write their own transcripts out before returning to the main session. They can be e.g. SESSION-L.1 etc so it's clear they're a subsession."
- "And the call to the agent should tell it what its transcript ID is."
- "And then update the transcript again — always do that as a final step of a session."
The first two are a protocol amendment. The current SESSION-PROTOCOL.md §3 said "Driver-only writes" — subagents returned report-backs that the driver folded into the single session transcript. That shape captures the high-level shape of each subagent's work but flattens the detail (mid-flight decisions, dead ends, schema choices, micro-corrections, test-suite outcomes). The amendment introduces subsession transcripts:
- Naming:
SESSION-<letter>.<n>-TRANSCRIPT-<start>--<end>.md(e.g.SESSION-0013.1-TRANSCRIPT-…mdfor the first subagent in Session 0013.0). Nested ordinals (.1.1) supported if a forked subagent itself dispatches another. - Dispatch contract: the driver pre-assigns subsession IDs in dispatch order, names the exact filename + the before-return write requirement + the transcript skeleton in each subagent's prompt.
- Driver responsibility: main transcript references each subsession by filename in the cut-state table; driver publishes its own + each subsession's transcript via the publish script. Stub-write on subagent's behalf if the subagent crashed without producing one.
- Applies from Session 0013.0 onward. Session 0012.0 itself ran under
the prior "driver-only" rule because the amendment landed
mid-session after L's three subagents had already returned;
no
SESSION-L.1/.2/.3transcript files exist or will be created retroactively.
Changes landed:
~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-PROTOCOL.md— new §5 "Subagent transcripts (Session-L amendment)" inserted before what was §5 (now renumbered §6 "When the protocol is unclear").~/git/ohm-infra/scripts/publish-transcript.sh— filename validator regex extended from[A-Za-z]+to[A-Za-z]+(\.[0-9]+)*so subsession filenames pass. Dry-run validation confirmed: the parent filename still validates, and a hypotheticalSESSION-0013.1-TRANSCRIPT-…mdwould also pass.- Session 0012.0's next-session prompt (below) updated with the new dispatch shape so Session 0013.0's driver inherits it.
The fourth ask — "update the transcript again — always do that
as a final step of a session" — was captured as a feedback
memory at
~/.claude/projects/.../memory/feedback_transcript_is_final_step.md
so future driver sessions honor the "transcript is the LAST
thing before publish" discipline. Memory index updated.
Arc 10 — First transcript pass + publish
This file's first "final" pass folded in arcs 1–9 + arc 10;
cut-state reflected the protocol amendment + the publish-script
edit + the memory captured. Published via
~/git/ohm-infra/scripts/publish-transcript.sh to
wiggleverse/ohm-session-history at commit b983b7d.
Arc 11 — Operator reinforced the final-step discipline; re-finalize + re-publish
Immediately after the first publish, the operator repeated the
instruction: "and then update the transcript again — always do
that as a final step of a session." This is precisely the
pattern the new feedback memory
(feedback_transcript_is_final_step.md) anticipates: a "finalized"
transcript that gets new material added after it (in this case,
the arc-9 protocol-amendment exchange itself + the driver's
closing summary that surfaced the next-session prompt) is not
yet final — the discipline is to apply the new material AND
finalize AGAIN AND re-publish.
So this arc 11 captures: the operator reinforced the discipline,
the driver re-finalized the transcript with this arc included,
and re-published. The publish script's idempotent-on-identical /
update-on-changed behavior means the re-publish lands as an
"Update SESSION-0012.0-TRANSCRIPT-…md" commit on
wiggleverse/ohm-session-history, not a duplicate file. The
filename's --<end> timestamp stays the original
2026-05-28T05-17 (the time of the first finalization); the
re-finalized content acknowledges that the actual session end
crept a few minutes later (~05-25 PST) as the discipline-
reinforcement exchange happened.
Future driver sessions should expect this pattern to recur: "finalization" is not a one-shot gesture. Any operator instruction landing after the first publish triggers another finalize + re-publish cycle. The discipline is captured for Session 0013.0 onward in the next-session prompt's closing block
- the feedback memory.
Arc 12 — Roadmap item #23 surfaced: rename transcripts to numeric form
Right after arc 11's re-publish, the operator surfaced another ask: "Add renaming transcripts from e.g. SESSION-A to SESSION-0001.0 etc to the roadmap." This is roadmap item #23 (Track Ω, operator- led, one-session operational gesture):
- New convention:
SESSION-NNNN.M-TRANSCRIPT-<start>--<end>.mdwhereNNNNis a zero-padded 4-digit session number andMis the subagent ordinal (.0= main driver,.1+= subagents). Nested as.M.Nfor sub-subagents. - Mapping: A →
SESSION-0001.0, B →SESSION-0002.0, …, L →SESSION-0012.0. Twelve existing transcripts inwiggleverse/ohm-session-historyto rename, plus the local~/git/ohm-infra/copies. - Surfaces touched (enumerated in the item): the public repo (git mv per file for history preservation), local working dir, SESSION-PROTOCOL.md §1 + §5 + worked examples, publish- transcript.sh filename validator, flotilla CLAUDE.md references, ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.md shipped-row references in the table, cross-transcript body links (Session-K-to-Session-I etc.).
- Open questions enumerated in the item: git-mv vs.
add+delete (preserve history); redirect tombstones vs. 404
(URL breakage for external references); sequencing relative
to the next-letter-after-L session (most-elegant timing is
Session 0013.0 as the rename session itself, so
SESSION-0013.0debuts as the new shape from the start). Decide at session time.
Committed to ohm-rfc at 8cce148 with a 130-line item
description + a single-row addition to the version-targets table.
Arc 13 — Re-finalize + re-publish (again)
Per the same discipline arc 11 named: the operator's #23 ask
landed after the first re-publish, so this triggers another
finalize-and-republish cycle. This arc 12+13 added; cut-state
table updated to reflect ohm-rfc at 8cce148 and the third
finalization pass; re-published.
If a fourth operator instruction lands after this publish, the cycle continues. The discipline holds open-ended.

§19.2 candidates surfaced
@amplitude/unifiedbundle size + lazy import effectiveness — the unified package adds ~150 KB gzipped (vs. ~30 KB for analytics-browser only); the wrapper's consent-gatedawait import('@amplitude/unified')keeps it off the initial bundle for users who haven't opted in, but the post-consent init path hasn't been measured for jank. Part of #21 Part A's bundle + performance check.- Session-replay-specific consent category — v0.13.0's cookie banner has a single "analytics" toggle that gates both events and full-DOM session recording. Recording has a meaningfully larger privacy footprint than event counters; splitting the consent into "analytics" vs "session replay" categories is the cleaner shape. Captured in #21's Part A + §19.2 follow-up.
- CHANGELOG
### Migrationblock has no machine-readable shape — three releases in this session said "auto-applied on deploy by the existing migration runner" with prose; nothing pins which slot was claimed or surfaces a conflict if two parallel features claim the same slot. The slot coordination this session (016 reserved, 018 → #12, 019 → #16) was done by the driver's brief, not enforced by tooling. Worth a small lint or CI step. - Bedtime prompt drift vs. live state — the bedtime prompt
said "OHM serves v0.12.0" which was accurate, but did NOT
mention that v0.13.0 and v0.14.0 features (cookie banner,
/docs) were integrated onmainbut absent from the live deploy because the pin had rolled back during Session 0011.0. Any Wave-5 deploy was always going to bring those features back; the driver flagged this in arc 1 + handled it transparently, but a session-bootstrap script that emits "what is on main but not deployed?" would catch this kind of drift before it surprises a future driver. (This is adjacent to the Session-I §19.2 candidate around deploy-snapshot surfacing.) - Vendor-prompt-as-truth pattern — Amplitude's installation wizard is an LLM-targeted prompt the vendor publishes for their customers to drop into Cursor / Claude Code / etc. When the operator pastes it mid-session, the prompt's recommendations override the roadmap row's pre-vendor guesses (package name, init shape, secret-vs-overlay framing). For future vendor integrations (Stripe? Linear? Sentry?), a discipline is worth naming: vendor-prompt guidance is authoritative for SDK-shape decisions, but integration points (consent, identity, PII) stay project- sovereign. Could become a §19.2 candidate spec section.
- Subagent re-direction without
SendMessage— when the operator's mid-session input invalidated ξ's pre-vendor brief, the driver had noSendMessagetool available to redirect the in-flight subagent. The chosen path (let-finish, driver-post-corrects) worked here because the correction was small and on a fresh-cut branch; in a larger correction it would waste subagent work or force aTaskStop+ re-dispatch. Worth exploring whether the harness can exposeSendMessagefor background agents, or whether the dispatch pattern should pre-commit to "wait for green-light from the operator" before doing the more invasive work.
What lands on the operator's plate
- Amplitude dashboard verification — vendor's installation
prompt says "tell the user to start the application and fire
an event to verify it is being sent to Amplitude." The
deploy +
/api/healthverification confirmed the version is on the box; the Amplitude-side confirmation that events actually arrive is the operator's gesture (you have the dashboard login; the driver does not). Easiest probe per the v0.15.0 CHANGELOG: openhttps://ohm.wiggleverse.orgin an Incognito window, accept analytics on the cookie banner, navigate to an RFC, watch the project's live event stream + session-replay panel. Expected events:Page Viewed(path),RFC Viewed(rfc_slug, rfc_id), the autocapture-generated click events on header links. - Send a real invite (#16) end-to-end — the live
/admin/userssurface now has the "Create user + invite" affordance. A real-world deliverability test is part of the #20 input data: send to a gmail address, a yahoo address, a protonmail address, watch which ones land in inbox vs. spam. - Send a real per-RFC invitation (#12) — same shape; pick an RFC, hit "Invitations" in the header strip, send to your alternate email.
- Roadmap items #20 / #22 are operator-led:
- #20 needs DNS edits on
wiggleverse.org(SPF / DKIM / DMARC) and SMTP-provider dashboard work. Subagent can inventory + propose; the executions are operator-only. - #22 needs operator-drafted copy + counsel review before a subagent wires it. The roadmap item spells out the legal caveats (501(c)(3) is planned-not-granted, "no external sharing" honesty about Amplitude as the processor, purpose-limitation enforceability, GDPR/CCPA coerced-consent risk).
- #20 needs DNS edits on
- §19.2-candidate #6 (subagent re-direction) is a harness-feature request worth raising with the Claude Code team if it bites again.
- **Item #1 VM rename + #17 inventory + #19 PR coordination
- #23 transcript-rename** stay operator territory. #23
adds one decision-point: do you want Session 0013.0 to be the
rename session (so it debuts as
SESSION-0013.0), or run a few more letter-form sessions first and rename in a later session?
- #23 transcript-rename** stay operator territory. #23
adds one decision-point: do you want Session 0013.0 to be the

Updated next-session prompt
You are the OHM roadmap driver. The previous session (Session 0012.0)
shipped rfc-app v0.15.0 (Amplitude Analytics + Session Replay,
#13, deploys.id=19), v0.16.0 (per-RFC owner invites, #12,
deploys.id=20), and v0.17.0 (admin-create user + invite email,
#16, deploys.id=21) to OHM. All of Wave 5 is closed. OHM serves
v0.17.0 with Amplitude analytics + session replay live (gated by
the v0.13.0 cookie banner), v0.13.0 cookie banner itself, v0.14.0
/docs route, per-RFC owner invites, and admin-create user invites
all in production for the first time. Session 0012.0 also folded #21
Part C identity-lifecycle work inline across all three release
commits — identify({ user_id, properties }) + setUserProperties()
+ amplitude.reset on sign-out + identify-BEFORE-track on every
invite-claim path.
Read `~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-PROTOCOL.md` and
`/Users/benstull/projects/wiggleverse/ohm-rfc/ROADMAP.md`
end-to-end. The next session letter is M.
**New protocol amendment from Session 0012.0**: subagents write their
own transcripts (subsession files like
`SESSION-0013.1-TRANSCRIPT-<start>--<end>.md`) before returning to
the driver. The driver pre-assigns each subagent's subsession ID
in the dispatch prompt. The driver's own Session-M transcript
stays load-bearing for cross-subagent synthesis + cut-state,
with cross-references to each subsession. See
SESSION-PROTOCOL.md §5 for the binding form. The publish
script's filename validator was extended in Session 0012.0 to accept
`SESSION-<letter>.<n>-TRANSCRIPT-…md`.
**Hard rule (Session 0011.0 + Session 0012.0): never EVER ask the operator
to paste secret bytes into the conversation.** Session 0012.0
confirmed the corollary: public bundle-embedded values
(`VITE_AMPLITUDE_API_KEY`, `VITE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY`) are fine
to receive in conversation and set via `flotilla overlay set` —
but never the secret-half of a public/secret pair, and never
something whose nature you're unsure about. When in doubt,
default to the operator-run gesture (`pbpaste | flotilla secret
set …` for secrets; `flotilla overlay set DEPLOYMENT KEY=VALUE`
for non-secrets).
Wave 6 candidates (per Session 0012.0's roadmap state):
- **#20 Email deliverability** (Track Ω + rfc-app template
hygiene) — high priority now that two invite paths ship and
the recipient's first contact with OHM is an email; spam
foldering is silent invite failure. Likely one combined ops
session for DNS + SMTP-provider posture + template hygiene
(note: overlaps with #18; ship together).
- **#22 Pro-analytics-consent copy on the privacy/cookies
opt-in** — small frontend-only rfc-app minor; depends on
operator-drafted + counsel-reviewed copy in hand. Legal
caveats spelled out in the item (501(c)(3) is planned, not
granted; "no external sharing" honesty about Amplitude as the
processor; purpose-limitation pledges are enforceable;
GDPR/CCPA coerced-consent risk; withdrawal must stay easy).
- **#21 Part A audit** — waits for ~1 week of real Amplitude
data, then a deep audit pass on taxonomy, autocapture quality
(DOM hygiene), session-replay masking, bundle/performance.
Ships as a rfc-app minor.
- **#21 Part B discipline** — SPEC.md analytics chapter +
rfc-app CONTRIBUTING checklist + optional CI lint. Can start
anytime; ships with #19's CONTRIBUTING PRs.
- **#18 Secure SMTP relay + Gitea webhook** — likely bundled
with #20.
- **#17 Repo naming + location alignment** — operator-led; a
subagent can inventory + propose, operator executes.
- **#19 CONTRIBUTING guides + transcript-linked onboarding** —
Track Ω docs PR; subagent can draft, operator approves +
merges.
- **#1 VM rename** — operator-led ops gesture.
Dispatch shape (updated for Session 0013.0 per the Session-L
amendment):
1. For each subagent, pre-assign a subsession ID: M.1, M.2, …
2. In the dispatch prompt, name the subsession ID + tell the
subagent it MUST write `~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-M.<n>-TRANSCRIPT-<start>--<end>.md`
BEFORE returning a report.
3. The subagent's transcript follows the same shape as a main
transcript (pre-state, arcs, cut-state, what-the-driver-
needs). The driver's report-back is a tight summary; the full
detail lives in the subagent's transcript file.
4. Each subagent creates its own `git worktree add` in
`/Users/benstull/git/rfc-app-…`, pushes a feature branch,
does NOT tag, does NOT touch the ohm-rfc pin, does NOT run
flotilla deploy.
5. Driver integrates serially.
6. Driver publishes its own transcript AND each subsession
transcript via `~/git/ohm-infra/scripts/publish-transcript.sh`
(the regex now accepts `SESSION-<letter>.<n>-TRANSCRIPT-…md`).
Session-L lessons to apply automatically (in addition to all of
Session 0011.0's):
- **Vendor prompts can override the roadmap's pre-vendor
guesses.** When the operator pastes a vendor installation
prompt mid-session (Amplitude this time; could be Stripe,
Linear, Sentry next time), the prompt's SDK-shape
recommendations are authoritative for the SDK choices —
package name, init signature, sample rates, etc. The roadmap
row's "new secret: FOO" or "uses bar library" wording was
best-effort pre-vendor and gets superseded. Integration
points (consent gates, identity lifecycle, PII discipline)
stay project-sovereign — the vendor doesn't get to decide
those. Document the override in the release CHANGELOG +
strike the ROADMAP row with the corrected framing.
- **No `SendMessage` available in this harness.** When the
operator's mid-session input invalidates an in-flight
subagent's brief, the choices are (a) let it finish and
driver-post-correct, (b) `TaskStop` and re-dispatch. Pick (a)
when the correction is small and on a fresh-cut branch; (b)
when the structural decisions would be wrong. The
driver-post-correction is a new commit on the same branch
(no amend, no force-push), pushed to both remotes.
- **Squash-merge integration with hand-resolved CHANGELOG**
works well for parallel-feature waves. Use a small Python
script for the conflict resolution when the block is large
(~150+ lines) — git's conflict markers are accurate but
manual editing is error-prone at scale.
- **#21 Part C is a standing pattern**: every new
identity-meaningful surface MUST call `identify({ user_id,
properties })` (not just `setUserId`), and any new claim/
sign-in/invite-accept path MUST call identify BEFORE the
first track event so the Amplitude record is created with
the OHM user_id from the first event rather than as an
anonymous device that retroactively links. SPEC chapter to
codify is part of #21 Part B.
- **Pin-jump side effects**: when the pin bumps past versions
that were integrated-but-undeployed (in Session 0012.0: v0.13.0
cookie banner + v0.14.0 /docs both went live as a side
effect of the v0.15.0 → v0.17.0 sequence), flag this to the
operator at the deploy step. Not a blocker; just transparency.
- **CHANGELOG slot 016 stays reserved + skipped**. v0.15.0
used no schema migration; #12 took slot 018, #16 took 019.
Next free: 016, 020, 021, ….
- **Login.jsx remains contested**: Session 0012.0's v0.15.0
Amplitude wiring added `User Signed In` calls at the three
verify paths (otc / passcode / trust-device). Future
auth-touching releases need to preserve v0.11.0 + v0.12.0 +
v0.15.0 injections.
- **Admin.jsx contested too**: v0.15.0 added Admin Permission
Decision firing; v0.17.0 added Create-user-invite modal +
pending-invite badge. Future admin-page work layers on top
additively.
- **api_admin.py contested**: v0.16.0 added `rfc_invitations[]`
per-user; v0.17.0 added `pending_invite` per-user + new
endpoints. Both additive; the per-user dict has two new
fields side-by-side. Future admin-API work should follow
the same additive shape and not restructure the response
envelope.
- **Roadmap items added mid-session**: #20 email deliverability,
#21 Amplitude audit + standing discipline (Parts A + B + C),
#22 pro-analytics-consent copy on the privacy/cookies opt-in.
All three pushed to ohm-rfc as their own commits during the
session. Don't batch roadmap captures to end-of-session — push
promptly so the operator sees them on the gitea side without
waiting.
End-of-session: write `~/git/ohm-infra/SESSION-0013.0-TRANSCRIPT-…md`
(your main transcript) AND ensure each subagent's subsession
transcript was written. Per Session-L feedback: **transcript is
the LAST step** — finish all other work first, then finalize the
transcript, then publish all of them via
`~/git/ohm-infra/scripts/publish-transcript.sh`. If the operator
surfaces new instructions after the transcript is "finalized,"
it isn't yet final — apply the new work, finalize again, then
publish.
