Session 0030.0 — Transcript

App: vscode-cowriting-plugin Start: 2026-06-11T23-48 (PST) End: 2026-06-12T00-42 (PST) Type: planning-and-executing Posture: autonomous (yolo) Status: FINALIZED Outcome: F10 (#29) shipped to main via PR #30; issue #29 closed.

Launch prompt

/goal next → plan-and-execute #29 (F10 — interactive markdown review).
Spec: specs/coauthoring-interactive-review.md (graduated in brainstorming session 0029).
Markdown preview as the single interactive review surface: clean zero-annotation
editor + annotated preview with on/off toggle (green=human / blue=LLM / strikethrough),
✓/✗ accept-reject for LLM-only changes in the webview. LLM changes surfaced as pending
F4 proposals (✓=F4 accept, ✗=F4 reject). One pure renderReview overlay; reverses F9
INV-26; INV-32..34; 4 slices.

/goal next resolved the Next /goal: field recorded by session 0029's finalize to "plan-and-execute #29 (F10)".

Pre-state

  • On main, clean (origin/main behind 1 — fast-forwarded). Anchor #29 is type/feature with a graduated Solution Design (specs/coauthoring-interactive-review.md) → R2/R3 gate satisfied.
  • F2F9 + F7.1 shipped; F10 is "mostly assembly" of F3 (attribution spansFor), F4 (propose/accept seam), F6 (baseline), F7/F9 (render engine) + 3 new pieces: strip editor decorations, collapse F9's two modes to one on/off toggle, make the preview interactive.

Plan

Goal: plan-and-execute F10 (#29). "Write left, review right" — clean editor, the rendered preview as the single interactive review surface. 4 slices (spec §7.2), 14 tasks; plan written via superpowers:writing-plans, archived to the content repo plans/ at finalize. Executed via superpowers:subagent-driven-development (fresh implementer per slice + spec-compliance and code-quality review each).

Code reconciliations (spec vs. actual), discovered by reading the code first: public seams are acceptById(docPath,id)/rejectById(docPath,id) (not private accept/reject); Proposal carries anchorId resolved via artifact.anchorsresolve(text, fp) (not literal offsets); no onDidChangeProposals existed (added); trackChangesPreview already took AttributionController (F9), added ProposalController; extension.ts constructed the preview BEFORE the proposal controller — reordered.

Session arc (turn-by-turn)

  1. Init. /goal next → routed to wgl-planning-and-executing. Claimed session 0030 (peek: nothing in flight). Fast-forwarded main. Read the F10 spec + mapped the 8 files F10 touches via 3 parallel Explore agents (exact signatures), then read the central bodies (trackChangesModel.ts, trackChangesPreview.ts, proposalController.ts, extension.ts) for ground truth.
  2. Plan. Wrote docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-11-f10-interactive-review.md (4 slices, 14 tasks, TDD on the pure engine, host-E2E for the vscode layer). Branch f10-interactive-review; committed the plan.
  3. SLICE-1 (clean editor, INV-32). Implementer stripped F3 attribution decorations (kept spansFor), removed F4 in-editor comment threads + pending decoration (refactored bookkeeping to state.live/state.unresolved), hid the F6 diff command/ctrl+alt+d + attribution toggle. Spec review . Code-quality review found the visible/toggle/isVisible/toggleAttribution toggle was now dead/misleading → fixed directly (retired it; spec §6.2 says so). 189 unit green.
  4. SLICE-2 (combined render engine, INV-33). Strict TDD. Extracted colorByAuthor from the F9 sentinels; added renderPlain + renderReview (+ ProposalView). Deferred removing public renderAuthorship to SLICE-3 (kept the slice green). Spec . Code-quality review found a real correctness bug: renderReview matched a block's source range by raw-string equality → misaligned author coloring for duplicate paragraphs. Fixed (TDD, positional range pointer) + collapsed a redundant branch + escaped the proposal id. 41 model / 198 total green.
  5. SLICE-3 (interactive controller + webview, INV-34). Removed public renderAuthorship; added ProposalController.listProposals/onDidChangeProposals/ keyFor; collapsed the preview to an on/off toggle taking ProposalController; routed ✓/✗/setMode webview messages through acceptById/rejectById (webview never mutates the doc); status-bar indicator (PUC-6); rebuilt the webview asset (on/off checkbox + ✓/✗ click→postMessage + CSS); reordered extension.ts. Spec (INV-34 traced end-to-end). Code-quality with one polish: renamed the webview panel title "Track changes" → "Review" (fixed directly).
  6. SLICE-4 (tests & docs). Updated obsolete suites (F9 authorship-mode + retired-toggle), added test/e2e/suite/f10Review.test.ts, wrote docs/MANUAL-SMOKE-F10.md + README F10 section. Found + fixed one real seam bug: statusText() returned stale text after hide() → added hideStatus() clearing the text. E2E green: 46 + 5 passing. Spec , code-quality .
  7. Final review + verification. Whole-implementation review = ready to merge (all invariants verified across slice seams). Ran the full suite myself: 189 unit + 51 E2E + clean build, tree clean.
  8. Ship. Pushed branch; created PR #30 (Gitea API); merged to main (HTTP 200); synced main, deleted the branch (local + remote); commented + closed #29; post-merge sanity (build + 189 unit) green.
  9. Finalize. Archived the plan to the content repo plans/; updated memory; published this transcript.

Cut state (final)

  • main carries F10 (merge commit 4160890, PR #30). Working tree clean except the pre-existing untracked specs/ dir.
  • Tests: 189 unit (vitest, vscode-free) + 51 host E2E + clean esbuild build.
  • Tracker: issue #29 closed; no open issues remain (Epic #1 closed).
  • No deploy pipeline — VS Code extension, no flotilla/PPE/prod stage; "done" = merge to main per spec §7.3. Manual webview smoke (docs/MANUAL-SMOKE-F10.md) is the only step not automatable (sealed sandbox) — left for the operator.

Deferred decisions

  • Proposal placement: trailing blocks vs. inline-at-anchor. Spec §2/§6.2 describes pending proposals "rendered inline at its resolved anchor." The implemented renderReview instead appends ALL proposals as trailing cw-proposal blocks (anchored before unanchored), per the plan's explicit Task-6 v1 design note (determinism + simplicity; inline-injection into the block-level diff body is materially more complex). INV-34 holds (proposals are visible, carry ✓/✗, never dropped); the deviation is purely positional. The final whole-impl review judged it defensible and non-blocking. Deferred: inline-at-anchor placement of resolved proposals → candidate follow-up issue, alongside the spec §9 open items (preview→source scroll-sync, intra-emphasis sentinel hardening, deleting F6's dead two-pane view code, the repo rename). Worth confirming with the operator whether to file these.

Loose ends

  • Stray untracked specs/ dir in the code repo (F8 + F10 design working copies; they belong in the content repo specs/ collection and were already submitted there) — left untouched (carried from sessions 0024/0027).
  • Stray worktree .claude/worktrees/pedantic-brahmagupta-472309/ from a prior session — not cleaned up here.
  • Session 0024 still unfinalized (carried).

Next-session prompt

The F10 follow-ups are not filed as issues and the tracker has no open anchor, so the next move is a capture session to file them (issue-anchored discipline, R2):

/goal capture the F10 follow-ups as Gitea issues — lead: inline-at-anchor placement of resolved proposals in the review preview (per specs/coauthoring-interactive-review.md §2/§6.2; today they render as trailing cw-proposal blocks); plus the §9 open items — preview→source scroll-sync, intra-emphasis sentinel hardening, deleting F6's dead two-pane view code, and the repo rename to vscode-markdown-cowriting-plugin

Read f10-interactive-review-shipped first. Then a follow-up planning-and-executing session can take whichever filed issue the operator picks.
