Session 0050.0 — Transcript

App: vscode-cowriting-plugin Start: 2026-06-13T17-43 (PST) End: 2026-06-13T17-52 (PST) Type: capture Posture: autonomous (yolo) Status: FINALIZED

Launch prompt

/wgl-capture — "When changing documents, we should decide what happens to the review pane of the current document, and if the document switched to should get a review experience or not"

Pre-state

Branch main, clean, pushed (origin/main). No in-flight sessions for the app.
Tracker benstull/vscode-cowriting-plugin (host git.benstull.org); content repo vscode-cowriting-plugin-content cloned, with ~18 prior uncommitted capture drafts in issues/.
Prior frontier exhausted (session 0047 note): remaining backlog items gated; operator directing. This is a capture session, not a build.

Arc

Claimed tracked-lite session ID 0050 (claim-session-id.sh --type capture). Resolved app + content repo (resolve-app.py).
Grounded the ask by reading the code (Explore subagent over src/trackChangesPreview.ts, diffViewController.ts, proposalController.ts): confirmed the review pane is one-panel-per-doc keyed by URI (trackChangesPreview.ts:45) with no onDidChangeActiveTextEditor listener — so on document switch the pane stays pinned to its original doc (incidental, not designed) and the switched-to doc gets no review until showTrackChangesPreview is re-invoked. Per-doc review state (F6 baseline / F4 proposals / F3 attribution) auto-creates on demand.
Sized the single ask: genuine forks (follow / pin / close; auto-review / on-demand) + needs design before build → type/feature (R3), priority/P2. Captures the decision-to-be-made; option space goes in Solution notes, non-binding.
Drafted issues/review-pane-on-document-switch.md in the content repo (working tree only, INV-8), full §5 template. Scanned clean for secrets (INV-3).
Operator approved filing as-is (feature, P2) via AskUserQuestion.
Filed → ensured labels (all pre-existing), then capture-issues.sh → #57 (#57).

Cut state

Session repo vscode-cowriting-plugin: clean main, nothing committed this session (capture touches only the content repo working tree). No PRs.
Content repo: new draft issues/review-pane-on-document-switch.md left uncommitted for the Author to publish/discard (INV-8), alongside the prior drafts already there. Not pushed by this skill.
Issue #57 filed and open on the tracker.

Deferred decisions

None — single clear ask, operator approved the framing and type before filing.

Operator plate

One feature filed: #57 (review-pane behavior on document switch, P2).
~19 capture drafts now sit uncommitted in vscode-cowriting-plugin-content — yours to commit/publish (or discard) when convenient.
#57 needs a design before build (R3). No active plan frontier; operator to direct next.

Next session prompt

/goal — operator to direct. Candidate: brainstorm a Solution Design for #57 (review-pane behavior on document switch) — settle the two coupled rules (outgoing pane fate; whether the switched-to doc auto-gets a review experience) before building. Other open: OQ-2 (F11 graduation), #32 (scroll-sync, needs design), #35 (repo rename), #40 (undo provenance, P3, branch s40-undo-provenance unmerged), #54 (undo still broken in sandbox).
