## Launch prompt

```
/goal Develop the spec for sub-project 2 — "Ingest & Tagging / Review tools" — of
the Human Experience Filter, the next item in docs/ROADMAP.md. Ground it in
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-04-human-experience-filter-design.md (especially §5
division-of-labor and §8 sourcing) and the roadmap's sub-project-2 section.

The spec must cover: per-archive ingest fetchers (Internet Archive/Prelinger,
Musopen, LibriVox, NASA, Free Music Archive, Freesound); automatic mechanical
tagging (mode via ffprobe, license/attribution/source from origin, duration_s,
resolution, dominant_color computed from video); assistant coordinate-drafting
that writes a one-line rationale and sets review_status=proposed; and the review
CLI that walks proposed records (proposed coords + rationale + preview frame) and
flips them to approved with reviewed_at. It must build on the existing
hef.catalog API without breaking it — call out explicitly any additions the
tools need.
```

## Plan

Spec session — develop the sub-project-2 spec (Ingest & Tagging / Review tools),
grounded in the approved design doc (§5 division-of-labor, §8 sourcing) and
ROADMAP §2. Cover: per-archive fetchers, mechanical tagging, coordinate drafting,
review CLI. Hard constraint: build on `hef.catalog` without breaking it; call out
additions explicitly. Done when spec written + self-reviewed + approved; any plan
saved under `plans/`; tree clean, merged to `main`, branches deleted, pushed.

Mid-session the operator added two follow-on asks: write the implementation plan,
and update the design spec for a new display decision.

## Pre-session state

- Sub-project 1 (Catalog & Selection Core) done and merged: `hef/catalog.py`
  (`Record`, `validate`, JSONL IO) + `hef/selection.py` (distance, mode filter,
  `select`), 37 passing tests.
- Repo was **not yet registered** for the session protocol — no `app.json`, no
  `CLAUDE.md`. Clean `main`, pushed.

## Turn-by-turn arc

1. **Session init (spec).** Got start time; surveyed git (clean `main`); read
   ROADMAP, memory (none), `app.json`/`CLAUDE.md` (absent). Resolver exited 3
   (repo unregistered). Authored `app.json` (One Name = `human-experience-filter-art`;
   sessions self-contained in this repo under `sessions/`, matching the benstull
   `docs` convention) and committed it to `main` (`4ddc113`). Created `CLAUDE.md`
   importing `@~/.claude/wiggleverse.md` (`5e4b794`, after a rebase — the claim
   push had advanced `main`). Claimed session **0001** with `--type spec`; no
   concurrent sessions. Seeded the transcript `## Plan`.
2. **Orientation.** No BDD corpus (`BDD_REMOTE` empty), so grounding = the design
   spec, per the launch prompt. Read the design spec, `hef/catalog.py`,
   `hef/selection.py`, the sub-project-1 plan, and `USER_GUIDE.md`.
3. **Key realization.** The `Record` schema already ships every field the
   draft-then-review flow writes, with defaults (`review_status="proposed"`,
   `reviewed_at=None`) that ARE the proposed shape — so the schema needs no change.
4. **Wrote the spec** (`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-04-ingest-tagging-review-tools.md`,
   `f80ec65`) on branch `spec/sub-project-2-ingest-review`: 12 sections covering
   the `Candidate`/`Fetcher` seam + all six archives, ffprobe/ffmpeg mechanical
   tagging (with cover-art guard), per-archive license normalization, the
   deterministic `HeuristicProposer` (no ML, honoring design §11), the review
   transition core + interactive CLI. Single required `hef.catalog` addition:
   `validate_catalog` (unique-id integrity), optional `index_by_id`.
5. **Self-review.** Verified against the live code: no name collision for the new
   symbols, all 37 existing tests still green, every launch-prompt requirement
   covered.
6. **Approval (AskUserQuestion).** Operator **approved as written**, confirmed
   first-ship archives (LibriVox + NASA + IA), and — on the color question —
   dropped a design change: *single panoramic projector across all three walls,
   nature-video content, "may not need any video manipulation at all."*
7. **Folded the change into the spec** (`4c1ec6e`): demoted `dominant_color` to
   optional/opt-in (its only consumer was the side walls), ffmpeg-only when
   computed. Merged the spec to `main` (`3544092`), deleted the branch, pushed.
   Linked the spec from ROADMAP §2 (`b5f5ee6`).
8. **Operator chose all three follow-ups:** plan + design-spec update + finalize.
   On branch `docs/pano-update-and-sp2-plan`: revised the design spec (banner;
   §1, §6 single pano projector, §7 procedural side walls REMOVED, §10, §12) and
   ROADMAP (sub-project 5 Dropped; diagram; §3 player → pano; cross-cutting
   decisions) (`dd02c2c`); wrote the task-by-task implementation plan
   (`docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-04-ingest-tagging-review-tools.md`, `6d6cbb5`).
   Merged to `main` (`dd00d8b`), deleted the branch, pushed.

## Cut state (end of session)

Branch `main`, clean, `0/0` vs `origin/main`. No feature branches. Key commits
(all on `git.benstull.org:benstull/human-experience-filter-art`):

| SHA | What |
|-----|------|
| `4ddc113` | register `app.json` |
| `5e4b794` | `CLAUDE.md` org import |
| `f80ec65` | sub-project-2 spec (initial) |
| `4c1ec6e` | spec: fold in approval + pano change |
| `3544092` | merge spec → main |
| `b5f5ee6` | ROADMAP links the spec |
| `dd02c2c` | design + ROADMAP pano revision |
| `6d6cbb5` | sub-project-2 implementation plan |
| `dd00d8b` | merge pano revision + plan → main |

(Plus the session-protocol commits `18f0360`/`54fde0b`/`b8c406d` for the
transcript itself.)

Tests: untouched this session — still 37 green (no code changed; docs only).

## Deferred decisions

- **Major design change surfaced mid-approval (operator, 2026-06-04):** single
  panoramic projector spanning all three walls, content = nature videos, "we may
  not need any video manipulation at all." Handled in the sub-project-2 spec by
  demoting `dominant_color` to optional/opt-in; then (operator-requested) the
  design spec §6/§7 and ROADMAP were revised and sub-project 5 dropped. Confirmed
  by the operator during the session.
- Operator approved the spec "as written"; remaining §11 defaults taken as
  accepted: `file_path` relative-to-media-root, two `python -m` CLIs, `index_by_id`
  in `hef.catalog`. Revisit at implementation if any feels wrong.
- **spec-RFC submission gap:** `app.json` has no `contains:["spec-rfc"]` repo, so
  the spec wasn't submitted to a spec-RFC renderer (it lives in-repo and is
  pushed). Add a spec-rfc target to `app.json` if rendered specs are wanted later.

## What lands on the operator's plate

- Nothing blocking. The spec + plan are approved and merged.
- Optional: add a `contains:["spec-rfc"]` repo to `app.json` if you want specs
  rendered/tracked outside this repo.
- The design spec + ROADMAP now describe the single-pano-projector / nature-video
  direction; confirm that matches your intent when you next look.

This implements sub-project 2 (Ingest & Tagging / Review tools) task-by-task.
First read the memory files `sub-project-2-ready-to-build.md` and
`pano-projector-nature-video.md`. Task 1 scaffolds `tools/`; Task 2 is the only
`hef.catalog` change (`validate_catalog` + `index_by_id`). Needs `ffmpeg`/`ffprobe`
installed for the opt-in integration tests; the unit suite is hermetic.
