Session 0051.0 — Transcript

App: dev-claude-plugin Start: 2026-06-10T07-05 (PST) End: 2026-06-10T07-28 (PST) Type: planning-and-executing Claude-Session: e6e0f4ee-8ceb-4bc9-85e2-76f6b8e74385 Status: FINALIZED

Launch prompt

Fix gitea issues 73 and 47 on the wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin tracker.

Plan

Anchor: leaf issues #73 (type:bug) + #47 (type/task) — both plan-eligible per R2b (no design required), so the Step 8.5 eligibility gate passes.

Fix two open tracker issues, ship as one PR / version bump:

1. #73 — session-end-finalize-guard banners a LIVE session's placeholder when SessionEnd fires mid-session with reason: other. Implement the issue's recommended shape: Option 1 (gate the banner on known-real reasons — clear/exit/logout/prompt_input_exit; non-terminal → republish the checkpoint with no banner) + Option 3 (finalize-side strip of a stale banner in publish-transcript.sh).
2. #47 — resolve-app.py edge cases: warn on a malformed manifest (not a silent skip), clean fail() on a resolved repo entry missing namespace/giteaHost, accept linked-worktree (.git-as-file) checkouts in find_local_repo_dir.
3. Tests for each, version bump, lint.sh --check-bump, PR → merge → close, and (plugin repo) make the shipped version live at finalize.

Pre-state

• Opening repo state was off main: the local checkout sat on the stale feature branch fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory (an unmerged commit 05a9e82, plugin.json at 0.27.1) while origin/main had advanced to 0.37.0. The working tree also carried four untracked prior-session leftovers (issues/{issue-type-design-gates,publish-step,resumable-capture}.md + a …-design.pdf).
• The claim-peek showed two --INPROGRESS placeholders (0035, 0048). Neither was annotated ENDED-UNFINALIZED, but both predate the already-shipped session 0049 — i.e. stale crashed placeholders, not live concurrent sessions. No worktree mandate triggered; worked in-place.

Session arc

1. Gate + claim. Classified the prompt as planning-and-executing; ran wgl-planning-and-executing. Computed start 2026-06-10T07-05, peeked (dry-run), then claimed session 0051 (next-free) via the atomic push.

2. Read the issues (Gitea API, issue-scoped token). #73 = the bug session 0049 filed about itself — the SessionEnd guard treated every SessionEnd as a genuine ending, so a reason: other event (the harness emits these for model handoffs / context compaction / subagent termination) falsely bannered a still-running session, which the next session's peek could then try to adopt mid-run. #47 = three localized resolve-app.py guards.

3. Baseline cleanup. Confirmed the current branch was stale/unmerged and not my concern; created a fresh branch fix/issues-73-47-finalize-guard-resolve-app off origin/main (0.37.0), preserving the stale branch ref and the untracked leftovers untouched.

4. #73 implementation.

   • hooks/session-end-finalize-guard: added a case "$reason" terminal-reason gate; the banner block now runs only when terminal=1. The republish stays unconditional (never lose the checkpoint). Header comment + republish comment updated.
   • publish-transcript.sh: new place_transcript() helper — for a finalized file carrying the banner, an awk filter strips the marker line + its contiguous blockquote (and the spacer blank before it); an --INPROGRESS checkpoint or a no-banner file is a plain cp. The awk was prototyped and verified standalone (banner gone, body + ordinary blockquotes survive, trailing newline preserved, no-banner file byte-identical to cp).

5. #47 implementation.

   • load_app_json() now warns (naming the file) on json.JSONDecodeError and continues; OSError stays silent (benign mid-walk).
   • New repo_remote(repo_entry, default_host, app_json_path, role) helper: fails cleanly naming the missing namespace/name/giteaHost + manifest, then builds the remote. Applied at the sessions repo and all four optional roles (roadmap/bdd/spec-rfc/content), replacing the raw ["namespace"] index + inline f-string.
   • find_local_repo_dir: .git presence test changed from isdir to exists so a linked-worktree checkout (where .git is a file) resolves. The subsequent git_origin() still validates it is a real checkout.
   • Module docstring exit-codes note updated.

6. Tests.

   • test-session-id-ownership.sh: parameterized run_guard to take a reason; added C2b (non-terminal other → republish, no banner) and C2c (each of the four terminal reasons → banner). 17/17.
   • test-push-robustness.sh: new [5] — a finalized publish drops the banner and keeps the body; an --INPROGRESS checkpoint keeps its banner. 9/9.
   • NEW test-resolve-app-edgecases.sh: malformed-manifest warn-and-continue, missing-namespace clean fail (no traceback), missing-giteaHost clean fail, and a real git worktree-backed checkout resolving as ROADMAP_REPO_DIR. 4/4.
   • All seven session-common suites green (8/10/14/9/4/6/17 = 68).

7. Ship. Bumped plugin.json 0.37.0 → 0.38.0. Updated the canonical SESSION-PROTOCOL.md ("Automating with hooks") and the CLAUDE.md digest hook bullet to document the reason-gate + finalize-side strip. lint.sh --check-bump clean (shellcheck skipped — not installed). Committed, pushed, opened PR #75 (default per-host git token — the issue-scoped token 403s on /pulls), merged (merge commit 33ffd49). Both issues auto-closed via the Fixes #73 / Fixes #47 references. Synced local main, deleted the branch.

8. Finalize. Plugin repo → ran update-plugin.sh; the enabled pin is now 0.38.0 (operator restart//clear to load it into a running session). Memory + transcript updated.

Cut state

• Shipped: plugin 0.38.0 on origin/main; issues #73 and #47 closed.
• Live: plugin pin updated to 0.38.0 at finalize (next session loads it; current running session needs a restart//clear).
• No plan artifact archived (a focused two-issue fix executed without a written superpowers:writing-plans plan — todos sufficed). No §9 pipeline stage (plugin/docs/scripts change, no deployable UI app). No worktree to tear down (worked in-place; no live concurrent session).

Deferred decisions

• Stale branch + stray untracked files left untouched. The opening checkout's fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory branch (unmerged 05a9e82) and the four untracked working-tree files (issues/*.md + a …-design.pdf) are pre-existing prior-session leftovers, not this session's work. Left exactly as found rather than merging/discarding unreviewed work. Alternative: adopt/finalize the stale branch — declined as out of scope for "fix issues 73 and 47." Someone should clean these up (they have recurred in several recent finalizes).

Next session

/goal feedback

4 open plugin-feedback issues remain on the tracker (all untriaged); #73 is now fixed. /goal feedback runs wgl-dev-plugin-review-feedback to triage them.

Operator plate

• Restart or /clear to load plugin 0.38.0 into a running session (the pin is already updated; it just isn't live in this session).
• Optional housekeeping: the stale fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory branch and the untracked issues/*.md + …-design.pdf in the plugin working tree are prior-session leftovers awaiting disposition.
