Session 0001.0 — Transcript

App: engineering Date: 2026-06-03 (PST) · Start 16-59 · End 18-27 Goal: ship dev-env v0.2 — the single-file HTTPS bootstrap (SPEC §8.3). Outcome: shipped + merged to main (PR #7, merge commit 9ae325d). Also registered engineering as an app (app.json) — this was the first session claimed through it.

This is the first session for the engineering app: registering it for session tracking was a prerequisite, resolved at session start.

Plan

Working branch dev-env-v0.2-https-bootstrap off main, in an isolated worktree (the shared engineering checkout was held on a slice3-* branch by a concurrent session). Two operator decisions, resolved up front via AskUserQuestion:

  1. Register engineering as an app first. It had no app.json, so the session-claim tooling could not resolve where its transcripts live. Created engineering/app.json (One Name engineering; sessions → the shared wiggleverse/session-history repo, subdir engineering, numeric / folder-per-session / public).
  2. Bootstrap shape = single file + local self-update. Build the amalgamated single file (committed at dev-env/dist/wgl-devenv, grabbable over HTTPS via a Gitea raw/ZIP mirror — no special host pinned). It embeds the bootstrap-subset runbooks (base-tools + git-ssh) so a bare laptop runs doctor + git-ssh. self-update auto-discovers the local engineering clone and git pulls over SSH to refresh the full runbook set (the HTTPS-then-SSH carve-out, SPEC §8.3).

Pre-session state

  • dev-env v0.1 was merged to main (PR #4): the doc-as-program engine + 4 onboarding runbooks (base-toolsgit-sshrepo-layoutclaude-context), 32-test stdlib unittest suite, the ShellExecutor DI seam, the secret-in-auto-fix lint, PASS/WARN/FAIL/SKIP, idempotency.
  • SPEC was at v0.0.1; §8.3 deferred the single-file HTTPS bootstrap to v0.2.
  • engineering was unregistered (no app.json anywhere).
  • A concurrent session held the shared engineering checkout on slice3-provision-vm-scaffold-gitea.

Turn-by-turn arc

  1. Session init. Computed start (16-59 PST). The claim script could not resolve the app — engineering had no app.json. (Gotcha surfaced: the claim/publish scripts are now plugin-based at ~/.claude/plugins/cache/wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin/.../skills/wgl-session-common/scripts/, not the old ~/.claude/skills/... path.)
  2. Read the SPEC/ROADMAP + the whole v0.1 package to ground the design.
  3. Two operator questions (AskUserQuestion): (a) how to handle the unregistered app → register engineering first; (b) HTTPS hosting → the operator redirected to "expect the engineering repo locally and pull from that," so a third focused question locked the shape → single file + local self-update.
  4. Registered engineering: relocated the worktree under ~/git so the new app.json was discoverable, wrote it, dry-ran then claimed session 0001 (pushed the placeholder to wiggleverse/session-history).
  5. Spec-first: SPEC → v0.0.2 — §8.3 two obtain-stories over one source of truth; §8.4 generated-not-forked single file + drift guard; §8.5 bootstrap subset + self-update; §5.6 the self-update verb; §1.3 updated to admit self-update as a mutating verb. ROADMAP → v0.2 shipped.
  6. Build: tools/amalgamate.py (inlines the devenv modules verbatim via a sys.meta_path finder + embeds the bootstrap subset → dist/wgl-devenv); devenv/bootstrap.py (single-file orchestration + runbook resolution: override → local clone → cache → embedded); devenv/selfupdate.py (git pull through the executor seam); devenv/__main__.py (makes python3 -m devenv work — a latent v0.1 README/bug gap); README + pyproject + .gitignore (track only dist/wgl-devenv).
  7. Tests: +16 (amalgamation drift/round-trip, runbook resolution, self-update via FakeExecutor) → 48 green; subprocess still only in executor.py. Smoke-tested the single file copied to /tmp: doctor 2/2 PASS, run git-ssh --dry-run, self-update fail-loud remediation. (One real-git end-to-end smoke test of self-update was denied by the sandbox; covered instead by the FakeExecutor unit tests + the proven SubprocessExecutor path.)
  8. Push + PR #7 (SSH-only, push-before-review). Created via the Gitea API helper (this is Gitea, not GitHub).
  9. Finalize (this wrap-up). main had advanced — PR #6 ("retire the per-app operator-cli repo role") merged while this work was in flight. Checked: it touched only README.md; the schema contains enum still has operator-cli, so the app.json tag stayed valid. Gitea recomputed mergeable → True. Merged PR #7 (merge commit, delete branch), cleaned up the worktree + local branch, updated memory.

Cut state (end of session)

Commit Where What
6619c3b merged via #7 Register engineering as an app (app.json)
e4c06c6 merged via #7 dev-env v0.2: the single-file HTTPS bootstrap
9ae325d origin/main Merge commit for PR #7
  • PR #7 merged, branch dev-env-v0.2-https-bootstrap deleted (remote + local), worktree engineering-v0.2 removed.
  • main is at 9ae325d; v0.2 artifacts present (dev-env/dist/wgl-devenv, dev-env/tools/amalgamate.py, devenv/bootstrap.py, devenv/selfupdate.py, app.json).
  • The concurrent slice3-provision-vm-scaffold-gitea checkout was left untouched.
  • 48 tests green at merge.

What lands on the operator's plate

  • Nothing blocking. v0.2 is merged.
  • Hosting is a deliberate ops detail (not wired): dist/wgl-devenv is on main, but no public HTTPS URL is published yet. To actually hand a bare laptop the curl -fsSL <url>/wgl-devenv line, decide where a readable mirror exposes the file (a readable Gitea raw/ZIP URL, or a public mirror) and confirm that URL serves it.
  • Deferred follow-up (flagged as a task chip): the engineering repo root has no CLAUDE.md importing @~/.claude/wiggleverse.md (the always-on org-context wiring). Left out to keep PR #7 focused; worth a tiny separate PR.

Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

Open dev-env v0.3 — the cloud + credentials runbooks. Run
/wgl-coding-session-init first (engineering is now a registered app — it'll claim
engineering/0002).

The dev-env CLI lives at engineering/dev-env/ on main (v0.1 + v0.2 shipped). Read
dev-env/SPEC.md (esp. §6.3 the hard-secrets rule, §2.3 `fix manual`) and
dev-env/ROADMAP.md (v0.3); see memory [[project_dev_env_cli]].

Goal: author two new runbooks — gcloud/ADC (the dedicated-profile-per-deployment
awareness, guide §8.4) and the Keychain Gitea-token runbook — both as `fix manual`
for the secret gestures (no secret bytes ever auto-run; the §5.5 lint enforces
it). The engine already supports them; this slice is runbook content + harvesting
the exact checks. Wire them into the `requires` DAG after git-ssh.

The single-file bootstrap subset stays base-tools + git-ssh; v0.3 runbooks are
full-set-only (fetched via self-update), so you only rebuild dist/wgl-devenv if you
change an embedded module or embedded runbook (a drift test enforces it). Keep the
suite green. Spec-first only if you touch invariants. Branch off main → PR (push
before review; SSH-only git). Use an isolated worktree (the slice3 session may
still hold the shared checkout).
