## Launch prompt
```
yes, let's capture this as a feature. Keep it vague though...there's a lot to think through
(Context: diff-view toggle for the operator's own changes — current view ↔ diff vs a meaningful baseline; idea raised while playing with the plugin at the end of session 0015.)
```
## Pre-state
- Session 0015 (F5 #14 shipped) finalized minutes earlier; its closing offer
— capture the operator's diff-view idea — answered "yes, keep it vague."
- Both repos clean on pushed `main` (plugin `611a180`, content `57f5827`);
only `sandbox/playground.md` dirty (operator's scratch).
## Session arc
1. **Claim** — 0016 claimed `--type capture`; app + content repo resolved.
2. **Context** — assembled from the session-0015 conversation (no external
signal, no secrets): the gap is that F3 attribution is state-not-history,
git diffs against HEAD (wrong baseline), so the operator's own changes
have no diff perspective.
3. **Size-challenge** — one ask; `type/feature` (user-valuable single
increment, but design-gated: the baseline fork is load-bearing).
Provisional WSJF → `priority/P2`.
4. **Draft**`issues/diff-view-toggle.md` written in the content repo
working tree, deliberately vague per the operator: scope section parks
the four open questions (baseline · snapshot home · whose changes ·
relationship to git) for brainstorming; firm non-goals + constraints;
solution notes carried as explicitly non-binding.
5. **Stale goal-hook nudge** — finalize-on-goal fired against session 0015's
achieved goal while 0016's draft awaited approval; declined to finalize
mid-gate (INV-1 is human-only and posture-independent) and re-surfaced
the approval question instead.
6. **Plugin feedback (side-channel, not session work)** — operator:
"Decomposition shouldn't be in Gitea issues — just the solution design."
Filed as wiggleverse-dev-claude-plugin **#115** (enhancement/low) via
wgl-dev-plugin-feedback; the pending draft's Decomposition section was
removed on the spot.
7. **Approve → file** — operator approved. First filing attempt 401'd: the
default `WGL_CAPTURE_TOKEN_SERVICE` Keychain entry doesn't carry
git.benstull.org; the host-specific
`wgl-gitea-issues-readwrite-token-git.benstull.org` entry does. Filed
**Feature #17** — "Diff-view toggle: see the operator's own changes vs a
coauthoring baseline" (`type/feature`, `priority/P2`):
https://git.benstull.org/benstull/vscode-cowriting-plugin/issues/17
8. **Finalize** — memory updated (`f5-cross-rung-shipped` + index); this
transcript published. Tracked-lite: no spec/plan artifact (INV-6).
## Cut state
- **Feature #17 filed** on benstull/vscode-cowriting-plugin (open — it next
needs a brainstorming session, R3).
- Draft `issues/diff-view-toggle.md` remains **uncommitted** in the content
repo working tree (INV-8 — Author's to publish or discard), alongside the
pre-existing `issues/f3-*/f4-*/f5-*.md` drafts.
- Plugin repo untouched this session (`main` @ `611a180`;
`sandbox/playground.md` still the operator's dirty scratch).
- Plugin feedback #115 filed on the plugin's own tracker (untriaged).
## Deferred decisions
- Filed with the host-specific Keychain token service after the default
401'd — environment fact recorded in memory (capture scripts could try
`<service>-<host>` before the bare service); not filed as its own plugin
feedback issue this session.
- The issue title says "coauthoring baseline" (not "turn/accept baseline")
to keep even the baseline vocabulary unbound, per the keep-it-vague
directive.
## Operator plate
- Publish or discard the uncommitted `issues/*.md` drafts in the content
repo (incl. `diff-view-toggle.md`) at your leisure.
- `sandbox/playground.md` still dirty in the plugin repo.
## Next-session prompt
```
/goal Brainstorm Feature #17 (diff-view toggle) into its Solution Design — the baseline fork (turn start / last accept / save / pinned) is the load-bearing decision; constraints and non-goals are in the issue body
```
(Alternative frontier: the rfc-app#46 Gitea-substrate brainstorming —
different repo — consuming the F5 contract as input.)
