Session 0051.0 — Transcript

Launch prompt

/wgl-capture — two asks:

1. "Undo doesn't undo Claude's edits"
2. "When I make a change within a block that Claude has changed that I haven't approved, it doesn't show my changes"

Pre-state

• Branch main, clean, pushed. Immediately followed capture session 0050 (#57).
• Tracker benstull/vscode-cowriting-plugin (host git.benstull.org); content repo cloned.

Arc

1. Claimed tracked-lite session ID 0051.
2. Grounded both asks in code (Explore subagent):
   • Undo: Claude's edits are pending proposals; proposalController.ts:303-310 shifts anchors on edit but ignores e.reason === Undo — proposal not reconciled on undo (accepted edits hit the doc and are undoable, but the pending proposal lingers).
   • Pending-block edits: a proposal freezes its "before" (replaced: fp.text, proposalController.ts:81-95); the block renders from current text but the proposal's frozen view (trackChangesModel.ts:706-722/:769-805) obscures live human edits in that block.
3. Checked duplication against the undo cluster — #38 (wrong marks, closed), #40 (attribution color, open), #54 (undo E2E infra, open). Both new asks are distinct (undo failing to reverse the edit; live edits obscured by a pending proposal). Verified type/bug exists on the tracker.
4. Drafted both as type/bug (P1) in the content repo working tree (issues/undo-does-not-undo-claude-edits.md, issues/edits-in-pending-block-not-shown.md), each framed as user-facing pain with repro steps + code diagnosis demoted to parenthetical. Scanned clean for secrets (INV-3).
5. Operator triage: before filing, operator said "ignore both of these issues — you can delete the drafts." Both drafts deleted; nothing filed.

Cut state

• Nothing filed (INV-4 — no-actionable outcome after operator triage).
• Both draft files removed from the content repo working tree.
• Session repo vscode-cowriting-plugin: clean main, no commits this session.

Deferred decisions

None — operator explicitly directed dropping both asks.

Operator plate

• No issues filed this session. The two undo/pending-block asks were considered and intentionally dropped (recorded in memory session-0051-capture-no-actionable.md so they aren't re-raised as new).
• Note: these remain real observed behaviors per the code reading — dropped on operator triage, not because they were invalid. If they resurface, the prior grounding is in the memory note.

Next session prompt

/goal — operator to direct. From session 0050: candidate is brainstorming a Solution Design for #57 (review-pane behavior on document switch). Other open: OQ-2 (F11 graduation), #32 (scroll-sync), #35 (repo rename), #40 (undo provenance, P3, branch s40-undo-provenance unmerged), #54 (undo E2E infra).
