## Launch prompt
Build **F2 (#4) — region-anchored threads** in a planning-and-executing session:
write the just-in-time plan from `vscode-cowriting-plugin-content/specs/coauthoring-inner-loop.md`
(§7.2 SLICE-1..5: CoauthorStore → Anchorer → ThreadController via the Comments API →
reload/external re-anchor → `@vscode/test-electron` E2E) and execute it. UI surface ⇒
E2E host tests are first-class plan tasks. No live `@cline/sdk` turn / no provider-auth in F2.
## Plan
Implementing the **coauthoring inner-loop** spec (graduated, session 0003), first consumer
F2 (#4): region-anchored discussion threads on the POC skeleton (#2).
Slices (spec §7.2), each a plan task:
- **SLICE-1** Artifact schema (`schemaVersion`, shared `anchors`/`provenance`, `threads`) +
`CoauthorStore` (load/save `.threads/` sidecars, stable key ordering, round-trip tests). [vscode-free, vitest]
- **SLICE-2** `Anchorer``buildFingerprint`, resolution ladder (exact-unique →
context-disambiguated via lineHint → orphaned), live offset `shift`. [vscode-free, vitest]
- **SLICE-3** `ThreadController` wiring to `vscode.comments` (create-on-selection, reply,
resolve, render). [editor-facing]
- **SLICE-4** Reload + external-change re-anchoring (`FileSystemWatcher`) + orphaned-thread surface.
- **SLICE-5** E2E (`@vscode/test-electron`) across create→persist→reload→re-anchor; fall back
to driving the `ThreadController` API + asserting Comments-controller state where the harness
cannot drive native Comments UI.
Invariants: never silently move a thread (orphan instead, INV-1); git-native serverless JSON
(INV-2); fingerprint is source of truth (INV-3); forward-compatible envelope for F3F5 (INV-4);
no live `@cline/sdk` turn / no credentials (INV-5). Done = F2 acceptance met, unit + host E2E green.
Plan doc: `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-10-f2-region-anchored-threads.md`
(archived to `vscode-cowriting-plugin-content/plans/`).
## Session arc
**Pre-state:** clean `origin/main` at the POC skeleton (#2, sessions 0002/0003).
Spec `coauthoring-inner-loop.md` graduated in brainstorming session 0003.
1. **Claim + orient** — claimed session 0004; read the spec (§6 design, §7.2
slices) and the POC skeleton (vscode-free `cline.ts`, esbuild CJS bundle with
`vscode`/`@cline/sdk` external). Memory confirmed F2/#4 as next.
2. **Plan** — wrote the just-in-time plan with `superpowers:writing-plans`: six
tasks (SLICE-1..5 + README/verify), every step with complete code and TDD
grain, E2E host tests as first-class tasks. Branched `feat/f2-region-anchored-threads`.
3. **Execute** with `superpowers:executing-plans`, inline (tasks are
type-dependent, not independent):
- SLICE-1 `model.ts` (schema + stable serialize) + `store.ts` — 8 unit tests.
- SLICE-2 `anchorer.ts` (fingerprint, ladder, shift) — 9 unit tests.
- SLICE-3 `threadModel.ts` (4 tests) + `threadController.ts` + `package.json`
contributions + `extension.ts` API. Typecheck caught `CommentThread.range`
being optional → guarded.
- SLICE-4 reload/watcher/orphan mechanics (built in S3) + `reanchor.test.ts`.
- SLICE-5 `@vscode/test-electron` host E2E. Two iterations: mocha UI mismatch
(`bdd``tdd`), then the external-change test needed `files.revert` because
`openTextDocument` serves the cached buffer. 4/4 host tests green vs VS Code
1.124.0.
4. **Ship** — full sweep green (typecheck, 24 unit, build, 4 E2E). Pushed branch,
opened Gitea PR #5 via API, merged (autonomous), synced main, pruned branch.
**Cut state:** `main` clean & pushed; F2 shipped; 24 unit + 4 host E2E green;
plan archived; memory updated.
## Deferred decisions
- **CoauthorStore is vscode-free (Node `fs`); the `FileSystemWatcher` lives in
ThreadController, not in the store.** Spec §6.2/§6.4 lists the watcher under
CoauthorStore ("emits `onExternalChange`") yet also calls the store one of the
three *vscode-free, unit-testable* units. Those pull apart — a `FileSystemWatcher`
is a vscode API. Resolved in favor of testability (the spec's stated reason for
vscode-free): the store does pure load/save (unit-tested), and the watcher →
reload → re-render wiring sits in the controller and is covered by host E2E.
Alternative was a vscode-free event emitter on the store with the watcher
injected — more indirection for no test benefit. Low-stakes; flagging for spec
alignment when F3/F4 touch the store.
