Session 0005.0 — Transcript

App: flotilla-core Start: 2026-06-10T22-06 (PST) · End: 2026-06-10T23-45 (PST) Type: capture (tracked-lite) Claude-Session: b28c1e48-13ab-4793-bae2-377ae276a0d8 Goal: capture the "PPE release tags + promote verb" ask as a typed Gitea issue Outcome: issue #13 filed (type/feature, priority/P1) on wiggleverse/flotilla-core; incidental: main repo registered as the app's content repo (PR #14, merged); capture label set provisioned on the tracker.

Launch prompt

/wgl-capture — flotilla deploy <ppe> stamps a monotonic release tag (e.g. ppe-NNNN) on the deployed main ref and records it; a promote verb (flotilla promote <tag> or deploy <prod> --tag) deploys exactly that tag to prod, refusing untagged or never-PPE-validated refs. Surfaces "what tag is live where" so done-vs-shipped is queryable. The deterministic actuator under handbook amendment A5.

Pre-session state

wiggleverse/flotilla-core on main @ 07e6a7a (v0.12.1, patchwatch label provisioning merged), clean tree.
flotilla-core had no content repo in app.json (contains lacked "content" everywhere) — wgl-capture's target-missing state.
The capture label set (type/*, priority/*) did not exist on the tracker (only the patchwatch lane/sev labels from session 0004's backfill).

Turn-by-turn arc

Claim (Step 1). Dry-run peek → no in-flight flotilla-core sessions; claimed 0005 (capture, tracked-lite) at 2026-06-10T22-06.
Resolve target (Step 2) — target-missing. resolve-app.py returned an empty CONTENT_REMOTE. Rather than block (autonomous posture; the main repo the only sensible candidate, drafts being working-tree-only ephemera per INV-8), registered the main repo as the app's content repo: app.json contains += "content" — verified "content" is valid vocabulary in engineering/schemas/app.schema.json first. Re-resolve → content repo = ~/git/wiggleverse.org/wiggleverse/flotilla-core, subdir .. No unfiled drafts to adopt (Step 2.5).
Context (Step 3). Sole signal = the operator's launch prompt (no external artifact; no secret-shaped content). Attempted to ground "handbook amendment A5": not locatable in engineering/README.md, any engineering branch, plans/, proposals/, or local session-history transcripts. Proceeded citing it as the operator's reference with a link-when-it-lands note.
Size-challenge (Step 4). One discrete ask. Typed type/feature — single coherent capability (release recording at PPE deploy + promote-by- identifier with refusal semantics + live-where query only deliver value together); too design-laden for a story, not decomposable into independently valuable children (not an epic). Feature type ⇒ Solution Design required before a plan (the §3.4 gate does the rest downstream). Provisional WSJF: Value 8 · TC 5 · Opp 3 ÷ Size 5 ≈ 3.2 → priority/P1.
Draft (Step 5). Authored issues/release-tags-and-promote.md per the §5 template at business altitude — mechanism words (git tags, ppe-NNNN, flotilla promote, --tag, status verbs) confined to Solution notes as the operator's non-binding sketch, with open design questions recorded (does the identifier mean "deployed to PPE" or "PPE + E2E green"? tag-namespace scope; where the live-where record lives; interplay with phase-9 verify-edge and future blue/green). One altitude fix applied (deployment.toml named in a business section → genericized to "deployment record"). Under yolo the block-by-block review pauses were collapsed and the draft self-approved (logged below).
File (Step 6). ensure-capture-labels.sh provisioned 9 labels (type/* ×5, priority/* ×4) on wiggleverse/flotilla-core; capture-issues.sh filed #13 (wiggleverse/flotilla-core#13), stamped the filed-marker; draft deleted per INV-8 (Gitea = system of record).
Land incidental work. The app.json change landed via branch chore/register-content-repo → PR #14 → merged to main @ 1edb5ef; branch deleted both ends.
Finalize. Base survey found the checkout moved to a foreign branch validate-external-datastore with a dirty tree (flotilla_core/ deployment_toml.py, tests/test_deployment_validate.py) — another session's in-flight work, post-dating this session's last git action; left strictly untouched. No leftover drafts (filed or unfiled), no open PRs. Memory updated; transcript published (this file).

Deferred decisions

Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls the driver made and would have liked operator input on.

Registered the main repo as flotilla-core's content repo (app.json contains += "content", PR #14, merged). The app had no content repo, which is wgl-capture's target-missing state; the skill says "offer it", but under autonomous posture and with the main repo the only candidate (drafts are working-tree-only ephemera, INV-8), I registered it rather than block.
Collapsed the block-by-block draft review and self-approved the draft (INV-1 / INV-7 batching profile) under the yolo mandate ("create/approve specs"); the dev saw no intermediate blocks before #13 was filed. Review the filed issue and edit on Gitea if the framing is off.
Typed the ask type/feature (not epic/story), priority P1 — single coherent capability (tagging + promote + live-where query only have value together) that needs a Solution Design before a plan.
"Handbook amendment A5" could not be located in the engineering repo (any branch) or local transcripts at capture time; cited it in the issue as the operator's reference with a note to link it when it lands.

Cut state (end of session)

Artifact	State
Issue #13 (`type/feature`, `priority/P1`)	Filed — wiggleverse/flotilla-core#13
`app.json` content-repo registration	Merged — PR #14, `main` @ `1edb5ef` (commit `0f049fa`)
Capture labels (`type/`, `priority/`)	Provisioned on `wiggleverse/flotilla-core` (9 created)
Draft `issues/release-tags-and-promote.md`	Deleted after filing (INV-8)
Branch `validate-external-datastore` + dirty tree	Not this session's — left intact for its owner
Pipeline (§9)	N/A — capture session, nothing deployed

What lands on the operator's plate

Review issue #13 — the draft was self-approved under yolo; edit on Gitea if the framing/typing/priority is off.
Land "handbook amendment A5" somewhere citable (it is referenced by #13 but not locatable in the engineering repo), then link it from the issue.
The validate-external-datastore branch carries uncommitted work owned by another session — finish/land it there.

Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

/goal Patchwatch Phase 2B (dev-plugin) — in wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin, add per-app session-start surfacing of open patchwatch Gitea issues (warn + a ready-to-run /goal remediate prompt) and the wgl-remediate skill (PPE→prod, tests+health gate, --all-impacted), then the sweep (rfc-app vitest/tqdm, wiggle-snip h11) and Phase 2C, per flotilla-core/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-07-patchwatch-phase2-design.md

Or, to act on this session's output instead:

/goal Brainstorm the Solution Design for flotilla-core#13 — PPE deploys record a monotonic release identifier; flotilla promote deploys exactly that validated release to prod, refusing never-PPE refs; live-release-per-environment query (the ppe-before-prod actuator)
