Launch prompt

/goal Address gitea issue #39 - fix it in this session and close it once the fix is verified

Issue #39 (plugin tracker, type/feature priority/P1): "Stamp Claude session_id into --INPROGRESS placeholders; match it in SessionEnd/Stop hooks" — concurrency-safe session bookkeeping so each hook only acts on the placeholder its own session owns.

Pre-state

• Branch at open: fix/capture-finalize-skip-memory (the canonical checkout was owned by a concurrent session); origin/main at 4f57d2a (v0.28.0).
• Three sessions in flight against dev-claude-plugin this evening, one remediation wave from capture session 0035's plugin source review: 0035 (capture — filed #38/#39), 0037 (fixed #38 → 0.28.1), this session 0038 (fixed #39).

Arc

1. Gate + claim. Classified the prompt as planning-and-executing; invoked wgl-planning-and-executing. Peeked (dry-run) — session 0035 in flight; a concurrent claim grabbed 0037 mid-flight so I converged to 0038.
2. Scoped the issue. Fetched #39 from the tracker — a real concurrency bug: both placeholder-consuming hooks (session-end-finalize-guard, finalize-on-goal) select the placeholder by recency (find … | sort | tail -1) instead of identity, so concurrent sessions cross-contaminate.
3. Isolation decision. 0035 (capture) was writing the shared checkout's working tree (untracked issues/*.md drafts), so per §5.4 + feedback #30 I worked in an isolated worktree .worktrees/issue-39 off origin/main and never touched 0035's drafts.
4. Linchpin verification. Confirmed CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID is exposed to Bash AND equals both the hook input .session_id and the transcript filename (<id>.jsonl). So a claim-time env stamp matches what the hooks see — no init-skill plumbing needed (resolved the issue's open design question the simplest way).
5. TDD. Wrote test-session-id-ownership.sh first (RED, 7 fail) covering: the selection helper's rule, the claim stamp end-to-end against a throwaway file:// bare remote, and both hooks' ownership behavior against a stubbed CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT (fake resolver + fake publish that records calls — no network). Implemented to GREEN (12/12).
6. Implementation.
   • claim-session-id.sh — --session-id flag defaulting to $CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID; writes > Claude-Session: <id> header; stampless when absent (legacy-compatible).
   • NEW select-owned-placeholder.sh — rule: identity match → else newest stampless (legacy fallback) → else nothing (owns none).
   • Both hooks read .session_id and select via the helper; finalize-on-goal also recovers the id from the transcript basename.
   • Docs led the automation (§4.1): SESSION-PROTOCOL.md "Session ownership by stamp", finalize-core.md, CLAUDE.md hook bullets. Bumped 0.28.0 → 0.29.0.
7. Ship — with a rebase detour. PR #53 came back mergeable:false: PR #52 (0.28.1, the 0037/#38 fix) had landed on main, touching the same hooks/finalize-on-goal + plugin.json. Rebased onto origin/main — the hook auto-merged cleanly (both #52's stop_hook_active/fail-open guards and my session_id changes coexist), only plugin.json's version needed manual resolution (→ 0.29.0). Re-ran tests green.
8. Force-push denied by the environment → pushed the rebased commit to a fresh branch fix/issue-39-session-id-stamp-rebased, opened PR #54 (mergeable:true), closed stale #53. Merged #54 via the Gitea API (merge-commit, delete-branch). Issue #39 auto-closed via Closes #39; merge e4441f6 on main. Cleaned up the worktree + local branches.

Cut state

• Shipped: plugin v0.29.0 on origin/main (e4441f6). Issue #39 CLOSED. PR #54 merged; stale #53 closed; both branches deleted.
• Tests: skills/wgl-session-common/scripts/test-session-id-ownership.sh — 12/12 green; no network touched.
• No plan artifact to archive (focused bugfix executed via TDD without a separate written plan) → submit-plan.sh skipped, per the addendum.
• No §9 pipeline stage — plugin/meta change, no deployable UI app; ships via operator re-install.

Operator plate

• Re-install needed to make 0.29.0 + the stamp/matching live. Until then, in-flight placeholders (0035/0037/0038) are stampless, so the hooks use the legacy newest-wins fallback (by design, during the transition).
• The other concurrent sessions (0035 capture, possibly others) still own the canonical checkout and their untracked issues/*.md drafts — left untouched.

Deferred decisions

None — the design question (where the session id comes from) was resolved deterministically by verifying CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID equals the hook .session_id, and the stampless-fallback choice is documented in SESSION-PROTOCOL.md. No low-confidence calls needed operator input.

Next-session prompt

/goal Patchwatch rfc-app remediation — long-parked at a depth decision
(deployment pin 0.46.1 lags main ~5 versions; vitest dev-only; tqdm/idna
transitive floor-pins). See flotilla-core/0003 + project memory.

This session was an explicit /goal #39 interrupt and did not consume the parked Patchwatch goal.
