App: vscode-cowriting-plugin Start: 2026-06-12T18-17 (PST) · End: 2026-06-13T07-16 (PST) Type: brainstorming Posture: autonomous (yolo) Goal: brainstorm the Ask-Claude document-edit cluster (#42, #47, #46) and sequence/design it, starting with #42 Outcome: GRADUATED — one combined Solution Design specs/coauthoring-document-edit-flow.md (content repo, status: graduated, commit 9d016e8), sequencing #42 → #47 → #46.

Launch prompt

/goal brainstorm the Ask-Claude document-edit cluster (#42, #47, #46) and sequence/design it, starting with #42

Plan

Brainstorming session — produce a Solution Design for the Ask-Claude document-edit flow, the cluster of #42 (Ask Claude to Edit Document — entry points), #47 (block-granularity proposals), #46 (accept-all). Deliverable: one combined Solution Design (content repo specs/), sequencing the three as a delivery plan #42 (reach) → #47 (review) → #46 (accept).

Arc

Init. Claimed session 0041 (--type brainstorming), clean pushed main baseline, seeded the Plan block. Resolved app repos (roadmap = framework repo; content = vscode-cowriting-plugin-content; no BDD corpus).
Read the cluster. Read the three capture drafts (#42/#47/#46) in the content repo issues/. Then ground in code: package.json menus/commands, trackChangesModel.ts (splitBlocks/diffBlocks/diffToHunks/ anchorInsertion/renderReview), trackChangesPreview.ts (editDocument/askClaude/runEditAndPropose), proposalController.ts (acceptById/accept→applyAgentEdit/listProposals).
Key reframe. F11 (session 0037) already shipped the document-edit path — cowriting.editDocument → runEditAndPropose({kind:"document"}) → diffToHunks (word-level, INV-37). So #42 is mostly DONE (remaining = menu wiring); #47 swaps the document-branch diff to block-level; #46 loops the existing accept seam.
Found a spec-hygiene gap. The F11 (#43) Solution Design was never graduated to specs/ — INV-35/36/37 live only in code comments + the F11 issue draft. Logged as OQ-2 (follow-up), restated the depended-on F11 invariants in the new spec.
Locked two forks with the operator (AskUserQuestion):
- D-1 — per-block proposals preserve unchanged-span attribution (block = decision unit, word = attribution unit; intra-block diffToHunks sub-diff at accept; INV-40). Not whole-block→Claude.
- D-2 — ship as one combined Solution Design, not three.
Wrote the spec. specs/coauthoring-document-edit-flow.md — business → product → engineering, new invariants INV-38..42 (INV-39 supersedes INV-37), delivery plan SLICE-1/2/3 = #42/#47/#46, traceability, decisions log. Self- reviewed (no placeholders, consistent, scoped). Did not invoke writing-plans (wgl-brainstorming override — the artifact is the spec, submitted at finalize; implementation is a downstream session).
Finalize. Submitted the spec --status graduated; memory updated.

Deferred decisions

D-3 (low-confidence driver call) — sequenced #42 → #47 → #46 per the goal's "starting with #42," despite #47 carrying the P1 value ("too much to review" is the sharpest pain). The three are code-independent so the order is reversible (§7.1); #47 and #42 could swap with no rework if the operator wants the P1 review fix to land first. Surfaced at closeout; logged as D-3 in the spec §9.
D-4 (driver) block taxonomy = exactly splitBlocks's units; D-5 (driver) accept-all needs no confirmation, button shown ≥2 pending. Both in spec §9.

Loose ends → next session

OQ-2 — graduate the F11 (#43) spec to specs/ for a clean invariant ledger (INV-35/36/37 currently code-only).
OQ-1 — whether selection edits should also preserve-unchanged-span attribution (out of #47 scope).
Content-repo local working tree carries pre-existing untracked drafts/specs (prior sessions / the Author's) — not landed by this session.

Next /goal

/goal plan-and-execute #42 (SLICE-1 of the document-edit flow — Ask-Claude entry-point menu wiring), per specs/coauthoring-document-edit-flow.md
