## Launch prompt
```
Capture session: file an issue for the markdown cowriting product vision —
clean zero-annotation editor (left) + interactive annotated markdown preview
(right) as the single review surface; annotations on/off toggle; per-author
track-changes (green=human, blue=LLM, strikethrough=deleted) with ✓/✗
accept-reject on LLM changes only, driven from inside the preview. Markdown-only.
```
## Outcome (one line)
Filed **issue #29** (`type/feature`, `priority/P1`) — "Interactive track-changes
review in the markdown preview (clean editor + accept/reject)" — capturing a
product-defining vision developed in a brainstorm during session 0027's
conversation.
## Pre-state
- Came directly out of session 0027 (which finalized just before): the operator
had hit the F6 two-pane diff (`ctrl+option+d`) with F3 attribution decorations
bleeding into it and said "I don't understand this."
- That sparked a brainstorm (in 0027's conversation, before this capture session
was claimed): single-pane Word-style track changes → in-editor inline → and
finally the clean-editor / interactive-annotated-preview split, markdown-only.
- No open issues on the tracker (Epic #1 + F2F9 + #22 all shipped).
## Arc (turn by turn)
1. **Diagnosis (carried from 0027).** Identified the confusing screenshot as two
plugin layers colliding: F6 diff (red/green) + F3 attribution (blue Claude fill
/ green human border) on the same text. Confirmed the blue from the code
(`AGENT_DECO = rgba(99,102,241,.18)`).
2. **Brainstorm (superpowers:brainstorming).** Walked the operator from "single
pane, strikethrough, Word-like" through the forks:
- Surfaced that F7 (`ctrl+option+r`) already is a single-pane rendered
track-changes view; F9 already adds an author-coloring toggle.
- Operator wanted **B** (in-editor inline) + **accept/reject of LLM changes
only** → mapped onto F3 (who) + F4 (accept/reject).
- Operator disliked F3's editor border → led to "color only the delta, by
author" and then the realization that the **editor should carry zero
annotation** and all review lives in the **preview**.
- Operator locked **markdown-only** ("this should really be the
vscode-markdown-cowriting-plugin") — F6 deprecated as a view; **rename
deferred**.
- Chose to **capture** (not spec now).
3. **Capture (this session, wgl-capture).** Claimed tracked-lite session 0028;
resolved the content repo; sized the ask as a **Feature** (needs design, one
coherent increment); drafted `issues/interactive-markdown-review-preview.md`
section by section; handed it for review.
4. **File (on approval).** Operator said "file it." Fixed two script-config snags
(default host was `git.wiggleverse.org``--host git.benstull.org`; forced
token service resolved the wrong host's token → set
`WGL_CAPTURE_TOKEN_SERVICE=wgl-gitea-issues-readwrite-token-git.benstull.org`).
Ensured labels, filed **#29**, verified labels (`type/feature` + `priority/P1`).
## Cut state
- **Issue #29** open on `benstull/vscode-cowriting-plugin`:
https://git.benstull.org/benstull/vscode-cowriting-plugin/issues/29
- Draft `issues/interactive-markdown-review-preview.md` stays **uncommitted** in
the content repo working tree (INV-8 — the Author's to publish/discard).
- Code repo `main` clean & pushed (only the carried-in stray `specs/` untracked).
- No spec/plan artifact submitted (INV-6, tracked-lite).
## Tooling notes (for the next capture on a benstull-hosted app)
`ensure-capture-labels.sh` / `capture-issues.sh` default to `git.wiggleverse.org`
and to the host-less issue token. For benstull apps, pass `--host git.benstull.org`
**and** `WGL_CAPTURE_TOKEN_SERVICE=wgl-gitea-issues-readwrite-token-git.benstull.org`.
(Candidate fix worth a plugin-feedback issue: auto-derive the host from the
resolved app remote.)
## Deferred decisions
_Careful posture — the operator approved the filing (INV-1) and the type (Feature)
explicitly; nothing was auto-decided that needs review._
## Operator plate (loose ends)
- Session **0024** still unfinalized.
- Pre-existing uncommitted content-repo state not from this session:
`M specs/coauthoring-diff-view.md` + several untracked `issues/*.md` drafts.
- Stray `specs/coauthoring-out-of-workspace.md` in the **code** repo working tree.
- Capture-script host/token defaults (above) — candidate plugin-feedback.
## Next /goal
**Brainstorm / spec #29.** It's a `type/feature`, so it needs a **Solution Design
before plan-and-execute** (R3) — and most of the design already exists in the
issue body + memory. (Operator has in fact asked to brainstorm #29 next.) The
rename to `vscode-markdown-cowriting-plugin` is a separate deliberate gesture if
wanted.
