Session 0002.0 — Transcript

App: human-experience-filter-art Type: coding Start: 2026-06-04T06-19 (PST) · End: 2026-06-04T07-34 (PST) Goal: Execute the sub-project-2 implementation plan (ingest & tagging / review tools). Outcome: Shipped. All 14 plan tasks built TDD-first and merged to main via PR #1; roadmap status updated via PR #2. Suite: 111 passed, 2 skipped.

Plan

Execute docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-04-ingest-tagging-review-tools.md via superpowers:executing-plans: build the tools/ package — per-archive ingest fetchers, mechanical tagging (ffprobe/ffmpeg + license), heuristic coordinate drafting (review_status=proposed), and an interactive review CLI that flips records to approved. The only hef/ change is additive: validate_catalog + index_by_id (spec §3). 14 tasks, TDD throughout; unit suite stays hermetic (network + binaries injected/faked); opt-in real-ffprobe tests skip when absent.

Pre-session state

• Clean main, synced with origin/main; 37 tests green (sub-project 1: hef.catalog + hef.selection).
• Memory pointer said: spec + plan for sub-project 2 done & merged; next step is /executing-plans on the sub-project-2 plan.
• ffmpeg/ffprobe absent on the build machine (so opt-in integration tests would skip — by design).

Turn-by-turn arc

1. Session gate → coding init. Classified the /executing-plans launch as a coding session; ran wgl-coding-session-init. Claimed session 0002 (dry-run peek showed nothing in flight), verified clean main baseline, confirmed the CLAUDE.md context import.
2. Plan review. Read the spec + plan + existing hef/catalog.py, hef/selection.py, pyproject.toml, conftest.py. Critical review: no blockers — additions are purely additive, all referenced symbols exist.
3. Workspace. using-git-worktrees → chose a feature branch (sub-project-2-ingest-tagging-review) over a worktree: no parallel session, and EnterWorktree is gated to explicit requests. Empty conftest.py puts the repo root on sys.path; hef not installed editable, so the branch exercises its own code with the shared .venv (pytest-only dep).
4. Tasks 1–14, TDD (red → green → commit each):
   • T1 scaffold tools/ + http.py; T2 hef.catalog.validate_catalog + index_by_id; T3 probe.py; T4 tagging.py (cover-art guard + round-half-up duration — see deferred decision); T5 mediatools.py (frame + opt-in ffmpeg-only dominant_color); T6 licensing.py; T7 drafting.py HeuristicProposer; T8 ingest/base.py pipeline; T9 LibriVox/NASA/Internet Archive fetchers + Musopen/FMA/Freesound deferred stubs; T10 ingest_cli.py; T11 review.py transition core; T12 review_cli.py (I/O seams injectable → scripted accept/edit/skip/quit tests); T13 hermetic e2e + opt-in real-ffprobe (skips cleanly); T14 USER_GUIDE.
   • One mid-flight catch: a | tail masked a pytest failure on T4 so a broken commit landed; fixed the round-half-up logic and --amended (branch unpushed).
5. Finish branch. finishing-a-development-branch → operator chose Push PR + auto-merge. Gitea host (git.benstull.org), so no gh. No API token existed; searched both keychains (service names only, no secret bytes) — confirmed none for benstull.org. Operator minted + stored a write:repository PAT via pbpaste into wgl-gitea-token-git.benstull.org. Created PR #1 and merged it (merge commit d7a2cba), deleted the branch, FF'd local main.
6. Finalize. Survey clean. Updated memory. Marked the roadmap (§2 ✅ done, §3 ⏳ next) via PR #2 (593150b). Published this transcript.

Cut state (end of session)

• Branch: main @ 593150b, clean, synced with origin/main.
• PR #1 (d7a2cba) — sub-project 2 tools/ package + additive hef.catalog symbols + USER_GUIDE. 14 commits.
• PR #2 (593150b) — roadmap status update.
• Tests: python -m pytest -q → 111 passed, 2 skipped (opt-in real-ffprobe; ffmpeg absent here). Existing catalog still validates under validate_catalog.
• New surface: tools/{http,probe,tagging,mediatools,licensing,drafting,review, review_cli,ingest_cli}.py, tools/ingest/{base,librivox,nasa,internet_archive, musopen,fma,freesound}.py; hef.catalog gained exactly validate_catalog + index_by_id.

Deferred decisions

• Task 4 duration rounding (low risk): spec/plan say round(float(duration)) and the plan's test expects 12.5 → 13. Python's round() uses banker's rounding (round(12.5) == 12), so implemented round-half-up (math.floor(x + 0.5)) to match the plan's stated behavior. Chose the documented expectation over the literal function name. Confirm or redirect if truncation/banker's was actually intended.

What lands on the operator's plate

• A write:repository Gitea PAT for git.benstull.org now lives in the Keychain (wgl-gitea-token-git.benstull.org) — reused for future PR automation; revoke in the Gitea UI if/when you want it gone.
• Live ingest/review need ffmpeg/ffprobe installed (absent on this machine); the unit suite does not. Freesound (when un-deferred) needs FREESOUND_API_TOKEN (env-only secret).

Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

Sub-project 3 (Pi player) has no plan yet and §3 carries open decisions (player stack, approved-only enforcement, serial protocol contract) — so it likely opens as a spec/discovery session before coding.

/goal Develop sub-project 3 — the Pi Player Runtime that drives the single panoramic projector from the approved catalog — starting from its open decisions (player stack: mpv-IPC vs ffmpeg vs custom; approved-only enforcement; serial-protocol contract with sub-project 4; file_path-vs-media-mount resolution), per docs/ROADMAP.md §3. Read memory sub-project-2-ready-to-build.md and pano-projector-nature-video.md first.
