ohm-session-history

Full Claude Code session transcripts from the build of the Open Human Model — including the infrastructure work that preceded it (Session A: the git.benstull.org personal-Gitea buildout) and every OHM session since.

What this is

OHM is built in the open in the literal sense. Every build session has a full transcript that captures decisions, friction, dead ends, and the reasoning behind each settlement — the cleaned-up post-hoc version is not what you find here.

These transcripts are the artifact, not a polished retelling. They include the gestures that worked and the ones that did not, the mistakes and their recoveries, the §19.2 candidates surfaced and deferred, and the running thread of "what did the operator and the agent actually do with each other this turn." If you came here looking for documentation, you will be disappointed; this is closer to a flight recorder.

What's in the repo

Session	Topic
SESSION-A-TRANSCRIPT.md	Stood up git.benstull.org — personal Gitea on GCP, end-to-end. Predates OHM. Included for continuity; the OHM-specific work begins with Session B.
SESSION-B-TRANSCRIPT.md	First OHM deployment — rfc-app brought up against the Wiggleverse content repo.
SESSION-C-TRANSCRIPT.md	rfc-app 0.3.0 release + first OHM upgrade.
SESSION-D-TRANSCRIPT.md	(See file for topic header.)
SESSION-E-TRANSCRIPT.md	(See file for topic header.)
SESSION-F-TRANSCRIPT.md	(See file for topic header.)
SESSION-G-TRANSCRIPT.md	(See file for topic header.)
SESSION-H-TRANSCRIPT.md	Shipped ohm-rfc-app-flotilla v1.0.0 — the operator CLI for OHM deploys.
SESSION-I-TRANSCRIPT.md	Three waves shipped via parallel forked subagents: rfc-app v0.4.0 → v0.13.0 (skipping vacant slots). First autonomous-driver session.

How transcripts get added

The pattern at the end of each session is: the driver writes SESSION-<letter>-TRANSCRIPT.md to ~/git/ohm-infra/ locally, the operator reviews, then a one-line script publishes to this repo:

~/git/ohm-infra/scripts/publish-transcript.sh SESSION-X-TRANSCRIPT.md

The script is idempotent: re-running on an already-published transcript no-ops; re-running on an updated transcript pushes the diff with a Update SESSION-X-TRANSCRIPT.md commit message.

What this repo is not

• Not a place to discuss OHM. Discussion lives on ohm.wiggleverse.org itself, per its PR-less per-RFC discussion surface (added in rfc-app v0.5.0). Issues on this repo will likely go unanswered; the work is the corpus.
• Not the canonical spec. That lives in rfc-app/SPEC.md and ohm-rfc-app-flotilla/SPEC.md on the respective repos under wiggleverse/. Transcripts reference spec sections; the spec is authoritative when the two disagree.
• Not a curated retelling. No redaction has been applied beyond the audit pass documented in ohm-infra/TRANSCRIPT-PUBLISHING-PLAN.md (kept private). If a transcript contains a wrong turn, the wrong turn stays in. If it contains an operator quirk or a self-correction, those stay too.
