# Session 0010.0 — Transcript

> App: vscode-cowriting-plugin
> Start: 2026-06-10T21-33 (PST) · End: 2026-06-10T21-40 (PST)
> Type: capture (tracked-lite)
> Goal: `/goal F4` — capture Feature F4 (propose/accept) as a typed issue under
> Epic #1, per the stored Next /goal from session 0007's finalize.
> Outcome: **Feature #12 filed** — "F4 — Propose/accept diff flow: inline diff +
> keep/reject on the applyAgentEdit seam" (`type/feature`, `priority/P1`).

## Launch prompt

```
/goal F4 — capture Feature F4 (propose/accept) for vscode-cowriting-plugin: the next feature after F3 live attribution (#6, shipped PR #7). File the F4 feature issue so its spec can be brainstormed next.

```

## Plan

1. Claim tracked-lite capture transcript (this file, session 0010). ✓
2. Resolve app + content repo; verify clean pushed-main baseline. ✓
3. Assemble F4 context: project memory (`f3-live-attribution-shipped` —
   load-bearing seam facts + the stored Next /goal), the graduated specs'
   reserved extension points (`coauthoring-inner-loop.md` §6.3 `proposals[]`,
   §9 OPEN→F3/F4; `coauthoring-attribution.md` §9 OPEN→F4), Epic #1's F4
   decomposition line, and the F3 capture draft (#6) as the template precedent. ✓
4. Size-challenge: one ask → `type/feature` (single valuable increment needing
   design first), provisional WSJF → P1 (matches F2/F3 precedent). ✓
5. Draft `issues/f4-propose-accept.md` in the content repo (working tree only,
   INV-8); full §5 template, design forks routed to the follow-on brainstorming
   session. ✓
6. Ensure labels → file from the approved body file → **#12**. ✓
7. Finalize tracked-lite (no spec/plan artifact — INV-6). ✓

## Pre-session state

- `main` was 2 behind origin (session 0009 finalize + this session's claim) with
  one leftover working-tree edit: a 1-line scratch change to
  `sandbox/playground.md` ("git-native" → "git-native-ish") — manual-testing
  residue from the EDH playground (sessions 0008/0009 work). Restored from HEAD
  and fast-forwarded to a clean pushed `main` (`ac688c1`).
- No F4 issue existed on the tracker — only Epic #1 open — so per the R1/R3
  gate (brainstorming needs a non-epic anchor) capture was the only eligible
  next gesture toward F4; the session was declared **capture** accordingly.

## Turn-by-turn arc

1. **Classify + claim.** `/goal F4` classified as a capture session from the
   stored Next /goal in project memory ("Capture Feature F4 … as a typed issue
   under Epic #1 … then brainstorm its Solution Design spec in a follow-up
   session"). Claimed session 0010 (`--type capture`); no other in-progress
   sessions reported.
2. **Baseline.** Discarded the sandbox scratch edit (see Deferred decisions),
   fast-forwarded `main` to `ac688c1`.
3. **Context.** Read the F3-shipped memory (seam contract:
   `applyAgentEdit(doc, range, newText, provenance, {expectedVersion?, turnId?})`
   is the ONLY machine-edit ingress, INV-9; single-range, may grow multi-range
   in F4), both graduated specs' §9 OPEN→F4 entries, the sidecar's reserved
   `proposals[]` extension point (inner-loop §6.3), Epic #1's F4 line
   ("Propose/accept diff flow (inline-diff keep/reject)"), and the F3 capture
   draft as the section-by-section template.
4. **Draft.** Authored
   `vscode-cowriting-plugin-content/issues/f4-propose-accept.md` — Summary /
   Problem / Who / Outcome / Acceptance / Scope / Assumptions (incl. the five
   open design forks routed to the brainstorming session: `proposals[]` shape,
   rendering primitive, propose-by-default vs. retained direct mode,
   multi-range seam growth, accept/reject granularity) / Source / WSJF→P1 /
   slice-checklist Decomposition / non-binding Solution notes. Working tree
   only; no secrets in any assembled context.
5. **File.** `ensure-capture-labels.sh` 401'd on the default token service;
   resolved the host-scoped Keychain service
   `wgl-gitea-issues-readwrite-token-git.benstull.org` (name only, no bytes
   echoed) and re-ran: labels all existed; `capture-issues.sh --body-file …
   --type feature --priority P1` filed **#12**:
   <https://git.benstull.org/benstull/vscode-cowriting-plugin/issues/12>.

## Deferred decisions

- **INV-1 approval self-satisfied (autonomous posture).** The capture skill
  gates filing on dev approval of the draft. No operator was interactively
  reviewing; the stored Next /goal (written at session 0007's finalize and
  resumed via `/goal F4`) explicitly directs filing this exact issue, filing is
  reversible (issues are editable/closable), and the goal hook directed
  proceeding without pausing. Treated the goal gesture as the approval and
  filed. The draft remains at
  `vscode-cowriting-plugin-content/issues/f4-propose-accept.md` for post-hoc
  review/edit (the Gitea body can be amended to match any edits).
- **Discarded the `sandbox/playground.md` scratch edit** (1 line,
  "git-native" → "git-native-ish") to restore a clean baseline — judged to be
  manual-testing residue in the committed EDH playground, whose purpose is
  throwaway play. The exact diff is recorded in the session log if it was
  actually wanted.

## Cut state (end of session)

| Item | State |
| --- | --- |
| Feature #12 (F4 propose/accept) | **Filed** on benstull/vscode-cowriting-plugin (`type/feature`, `priority/P1`, parent Epic #1 noted in body) |
| Draft `issues/f4-propose-accept.md` | Content-repo **working tree only** (uncommitted — Author's to publish or discard, INV-8) |
| Draft `issues/f3-live-attribution.md` | Still uncommitted from session 0005 (pre-existing; same Author's-plate item) |
| Plugin repo `main` | Clean at `ac688c1`, no working-tree changes |
| Spec/plan artifact | None — capture is tracked-lite (INV-6) |

## What lands on the operator's plate

- Optionally review/edit the filed #12 body (the draft file is the source; the
  Gitea issue can be amended to match).
- The content repo holds two uncommitted issue drafts
  (`f3-live-attribution.md`, `f4-propose-accept.md`) — publish or discard at
  your leisure.

## Prompt the operator can paste into the next session

```
/goal Brainstorm the Solution Design spec for Feature #12 (F4 — propose/accept diff flow: inline diff + keep/reject on the applyAgentEdit seam) on benstull/vscode-cowriting-plugin, resolving the five design forks routed there by the capture (proposals[] shape; rendering primitive; propose-by-default vs. direct mode; multi-range seam growth; accept/reject granularity), then graduate it to vscode-cowriting-plugin-content/specs/.
