Session log — v0.10.0-2026-03-22-code-test-pr324

• Date: 2026-03-22
• Type: code (Harley)
• Branch: hotfix/gitignore-operator-files
• Duration: ~15 min

Goal

Run test plan for PR #324 (gitignore operator files), create GitHub issues per operator instructions.

What was done

Test plan execution (TEST-PR324-gitignore-operator-files.md)

Test 1 — Branch switch protection after local merge: FAIL

• Recorded checksums of custom operator files
• Checked out main, merged hotfix, ran git rm —cached
• Restored custom files from stash
• Switched to dev and back to main
• Result: all 4 operator files deleted during round-trip
• Root cause: dev still tracks the files; switching to dev restores tracked versions, switching back to main (untracked) deletes them

Test 2 — Engine-root swap with git add -f: PASS

• Confirmed .gitignore patterns match all 4 files (git check-ignore —no-index)
• Untracked files with git rm —cached
• git add -f CLAUDE.md successfully staged the ignored file
• Cleaned up with git reset HEAD

GitHub operations

1. Created issue #339: fix: sc start does not launch harley after recording session (bug)

   • From docs/issues/GITHUB-ISSUES-2026-03-22-sc-start-bug.md

2. Closed PR #324 with explanation comment

   • From docs/issues/GITHUB-ISSUES-2026-03-22-untrack-operator-files.md

3. Created issue #340: fix: untrack operator custom root files across all branches (bug)

   • Replacement for PR #324 with correct approach (fix from dev, git rm —cached + gitignore, normal release flow)

Issues discovered

• Custom operator root files were destroyed during Test 1 branch switching — need restore from backup
• Issue #326 appears superseded by #340
• Issue #329 appears to be duplicate of #333

State at session end

• Branch: hotfix/gitignore-operator-files
• Working tree: clean
• Open PRs: none
• Custom operator files: LOST (generic versions on disk)
