Session 0042.0 — Transcript

App: vscode-cowriting-plugin Start: 2026-06-12T21-04 (PST) · End: 2026-06-13T07-16 (PST) Type: capture (tracked-lite) Posture: autonomous (yolo) Goal: capture "When I pin the baseline, there should be no annotations in the review panel" Outcome: filed #48 (type/story, priority/P2).

Launch prompt

/wgl-capture When I pin the baseline, there should be no annotations in the review panel

Opened mid-session, concurrent with the in-flight brainstorming session 0041 (only that — my own — session in flight; warned + proceeded per autonomous).

Arc

1. Claim. Claimed session 0042 (--type capture, tracked-lite). App + content repo already resolved from 0041.
2. Ground the behavior. Read renderReview/colorByAuthor/renderReviewOp in trackChangesModel.ts: an unchanged block renders as cw-blk cw-unchanged with colorByAuthor applied (line ~526). So after a Pin baseline (baseline == current → every block unchanged), the change axis is empty but F3 authorship coloring still paints every block — and the panel does refresh on pin (onDidChangeBaseline), so it's not a stale render. The author colors are the "annotations."
3. Scope fork (AskUserQuestion). Operator chose pin → fully clean panel (zero-diff state: change marks AND authorship colors gone), not the broader "authorship never colors unchanged text." → a single, design-free increment.
4. Type. Would be type/bug, but capture-issues.sh accepts only epic|feature|story|task (the gap plugin feedback #124 tracks — not re-filed). Filed as the accurate fileable type type/story, P2.
5. Draft + approval + file. Authored issues/pin-baseline-clears-review-annotations.md; operator approved; ensured labels (--host git.benstull.org, WGL_CAPTURE_TOKEN_SERVICE=wgl-gitea-issues-readwrite-token-git.benstull.org); filed #48 — #48

Deferred decisions

• Type compromise (driver, tooling-forced) — filed as type/story though the observation is bug-flavored (surprising behavior on a primary gesture); capture-issues.sh can't type bug. The bug-typing gap is already tracked as plugin feedback #124; not re-filed.

Loose ends

• Draft issues/pin-baseline-clears-review-annotations.md left uncommitted in the content repo working tree (the Author's to publish or discard — capture INV-8).

Next /goal

(Continuation is the 0041 handoff.)
