 ## Launch prompt
 
-_(launch prompt not captured at claim time)_
+`/goal` Content pipeline Increment 2 (expanded) — rotating clip pools + time-windowed
+TRACKED labels + progressive left-brain detail + progressive right-brain emotions.
+Short design pass first (schema changes), then build.
+
+> Anchor: design `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-24-content-pipeline-design.md`
+> (graduated, R2a-eligible). Repo is roadmap-anchored, no Gitea issue tracker (R1
+> deviation, as all prior sessions). Increment 2 of that design.
+
+## Pre-state
+
+`main` at `b28f930` (PR #15 — operator-curated rotating-pool doc merged). All 19
+vetted pool clips on disk (gitignored) plus the leftovers to drop. The ring was the
+Increment-1 one-base-per-scale model (cosmos/orbit/forest/reef/abyss), flat
+`min_level` label gating, static or simple-track boxes, scene-level affect gated by
+`min(left,right)`. `tools/pipeline/` had stages 1–4 + 6 (no `track.py`). 246 tests.
+
+## Arc
+
+1. **Session gate + init.** Classified the `/goal` as planning-and-executing,
+   claimed session **0016** (peeked an ENDED-UNFINALIZED 0015 — its PR #15 work was
+   already merged, not live — and proceeded; no worktree needed, solo session).
+   Verified clean `main`, read the pool doc + spec + sub-project-3 memory + the live
+   code (ring, clips, app, app.js, alteration, pipeline).
+2. **Design pass (operator asked for it — schema changes).** Appended **§11** to the
+   content-pipeline spec pinning the concrete shapes: rotating pool, time-windowed
+   tracks, progressive Left detail tiers (salience + tiered strings), progressive
+   Right emotion tiers, and the `track.py` + author-mode tooling. Key call: tiers
+   need **no engine change** — the client reads `overlay.level` (Left) and
+   `dream.strength` (Right) already in the `RenderPlan`.
+3. **PR #16 — the experience.** `Scale.pool` + pure `pick_clip_id` (injected
+   randomness); server-side random pick at the API boundary (delta=0 = initial pick).
+   `forest`→`coast` rename + ring reorder + orphan-media cleanup. Time-windowed
+   tracked labels (`appear`/`disappear`, seam-wrapping). Salience-gated +
+   tier-escalating Left labels; tier-escalating Right emotions; tiered-or-static
+   strings (back-compat). New `build_pool_manifest.py` emits the 19-clip pool
+   manifest (abyss+reef authored as tracked/windowed showcase). Merged via Gitea API.
+4. **PR #17 — the tooling.** `tools/pipeline/track.py`: classical LK optical-flow box
+   tracker (this opencv build has no CSRT) → sparse keyframed track + window; optional
+   lazy ML path. Simulator AUTHOR MODE (`/author.html` + `/api/author/{track,clip}`):
+   scrub, drag a seed box, run tracker, author tiers/affect, save to manifest
+   (idempotent upsert, keeps provenance). Repointed the pipeline integration test off
+   the retired forest base; USER_GUIDE sim section brought current. Merged.
+
+## Cut state
+
+`main` at `c445239` (PR #17 merge). **267 passed / 2 skipped.** Clean tree, fully
+pushed, no open PRs. Both feature branches deleted. All 5 goal items delivered.
+
+Verification was API/logic-level + JS syntax + live-server probes (5 scales with
+pools, rotating picks, new edges, 19 clips served, tracker returns keyframes on real
+abyss_wow footage, committed manifest untouched by the read-only probe). **The
+VISUAL look was not screenshot-verified — no Chrome on this box** — so operator
+by-eye review is the next step (matches the established deferred-review pattern).
+
+## Deployment pipeline (§9)
+
+No stage run: the HEF simulator is a **local dev tool** (simulator-first directive),
+not a deployed app — it has no PPE/prod infra. Nothing shippable through the §9
+pipeline this session; the session output is the merged code on `main`.
+
+## Plan archival
+
+No separate `superpowers:writing-plans` artifact was produced — the design pass was a
+spec §11 edit (merged in PR #16) and execution was direct TDD tracked by the
+transcript `## Plan` block + the task list. Nothing to `submit-plan.sh`; this app has
+no content repo anyway (roadmap-anchored).
 
 ## Deferred decisions
 
-_Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls the driver made and would have
-liked operator input on. Appended as the session runs; surfaced at
-finalize. Empty if none._
+- **Adopting/finalizing the ENDED-UNFINALIZED session 0015 placeholder** was skipped
+  — its PR #15 work is already on `main` and its outcomes are fully recorded in
+  memory; finalizing a prior dead session was judged an unnecessary detour. Low
+  confidence; flagging for the operator.
+- **By-eye visual review deferred** to the operator (no Chrome here) — consistent with
+  the prior-session pattern, but the look of the tiers/windows/pool rotation is
+  unconfirmed visually.
+- **Light-vs-rich label authoring:** only abyss + reef + the scale primaries are
+  richly authored; the other pool members carry lighter labels. Finishing them is the
+  author-mode follow-up (next goal).
+
+## Next-session prompt
+
+`/goal` Operator by-eye review of Increment 2 in the sim (`make sim-local`, :8000):
+spin the ring (pools rotate per landing), sweep Left (progressive label tiers
+general→scientific+fact), sweep Right with Left up (progressive emotions
+basic→compound), watch abyss/reef time-windowed tracked labels enter/leave + track,
+and exercise `/author.html`. Then author real labels for the remaining pool members
+via author mode. After the content is liked, the next build frontier is the deferred
+i2v ring transitions (generative-video model + adjacent real bases) and/or the Pi
+renderer + serial/firmware (per [[simulator-first-before-hardware]]), per ROADMAP.md.
