- **Files Modified:** Links to changed files
- **Next Steps:** What to do next session (if applicable)
+** 2025-11-06 Wed @ 00:30 -0600
+
+*** Session: AssemblyAI Transcription Backend Integration
+
+*Time:* ~1.5 hours (continuation from previous session)
+*Status:* βœ… COMPLETE - AssemblyAI backend fully integrated and tested
+
+*What We Completed:*
+
+1. βœ… **Added AssemblyAI transcription backend with speaker diarization**
+ - Created =scripts/assemblyai-transcribe= bash script
+ - Implements upload β†’ poll β†’ format workflow with AssemblyAI API
+ - Supports speaker labels (up to 50 speakers) with "Speaker A: text" format
+ - Uses universal speech model (99 language support)
+ - API key retrieval from authinfo.gpg (machine api.assemblyai.com)
+ - Requires jq for JSON parsing
+ - Successfully tested with 33KB and 4.1MB files (3s and 9s processing times)
+
+2. βœ… **Updated transcription-config.el for multi-backend support**
+ - Added =cj/--get-assemblyai-api-key= function
+ - Updated =cj/--transcription-script-path= to support all 3 backends (openai-api, assemblyai, local-whisper)
+ - Changed process environment handling from if-statements to pcase for cleaner backend selection
+ - Updated documentation with backend descriptions
+
+3. βœ… **Created backend switching UI**
+ - Implemented =cj/transcription-switch-backend= interactive command
+ - Uses completing-read interface showing current backend in prompt
+ - Keybinding: =C-; T b=
+ - Persists selection for session
+ - Updated Commentary section with usage instructions
+
+4. βœ… **Set AssemblyAI as default backend**
+ - Changed default from 'openai-api to 'assemblyai in =cj/transcribe-backend=
+ - User feedback: "the assemblyai backend is definitely the best so far"
+ - Speaker diarization proves superior for multi-speaker recordings
+
+5. βœ… **Added comprehensive unit tests**
+ - Created =tests/test-transcription-config--transcription-script-path.el=
+ - 5 unit tests covering all 3 backends (all passing)
+ - Tests verify: correct script paths, absolute paths, path format consistency
+ - Fixed bug: user-emacs-directory path expansion in test assertions
+ - Followed quality-engineer.org guidelines: test pure functions only, skip framework integration
+
+6. βœ… **Investigated test failures (18 total)**
+ - Ran full test suite: 18 files failing (not related to new transcription work)
+ - Root cause analysis for dwim-shell-security tests (12 failures):
+ - Functions defined inside use-package :config block
+ - Config block only loads when package available
+ - During batch testing, package not loaded β†’ functions never defined β†’ void-function errors
+ - Identified as orphaned tests for unused placeholder code (PDF/ZIP security functions)
+ - Installed dependencies (7z, qpdf) to confirm not dependency issue
+ - 3 additional failures: lorem-optimum-benchmark (environment-dependent timing)
+
+7. βœ… **Documented cleanup task in todo.org**
+ - Added TODO item under Method 3 (priority C) at line 336
+ - Comprehensive context: why tests fail, what to delete, expected outcome
+ - Files to delete:
+ - =tests/test-dwim-shell-security.el= (12 failing tests)
+ - 4 unused functions in =modules/dwim-shell-config.el= (lines ~302-347)
+ - Expected result: 18 failures β†’ 6 failures (only benchmarks remain)
+ - Aligns with V2MOM: reducing test failures, cleaning up unused code
+
+*Key Decisions:*
+
+1. **Backend Selection Strategy**
+ - Keep all 3 backends available (openai-api, assemblyai, local-whisper)
+ - AssemblyAI as default for superior speaker diarization
+ - Completing-read UI for backend switching (deferred dired integration discussion)
+
+2. **Testing Philosophy**
+ - Only test pure helper functions per quality-engineer.org guidelines
+ - Skip framework integration tests (auth-source, process management)
+ - Skip interactive wrapper tests (completing-read, dired bindings)
+ - Only =cj/--transcription-script-path= warranted testing
+
+3. **Test Failure Triage**
+ - Document cleanup in todo.org rather than immediate deletion
+ - Priority C (non-urgent) - focus on working features first
+ - Accept environment-dependent benchmark failures
+
+*Files Modified:*
+
+- [[file:~/.emacs.d/modules/transcription-config.el][modules/transcription-config.el]] - Multi-backend support, AssemblyAI integration, UI
+- [[file:~/.emacs.d/scripts/assemblyai-transcribe][scripts/assemblyai-transcribe]] - NEW: AssemblyAI API integration script
+- [[file:~/.emacs.d/tests/test-transcription-config--transcription-script-path.el][tests/test-transcription-config--transcription-script-path.el]] - NEW: Unit tests for backend selection
+- [[file:~/.emacs.d/todo.org][todo.org]] - Added test cleanup task in Method 3
+
+*Technical Notes:*
+
+- defvar doesn't override existing values (user needed Emacs restart when switching default backend)
+- AssemblyAI workflow: upload file β†’ poll for completion (max 30 min) β†’ format with speaker labels
+- Speaker diarization format: "Speaker A: <text>" automatically assigned
+- API key storage: authinfo.gpg entry "machine api.assemblyai.com login api password <key>"
+- Backend scripts must be executable (chmod +x)
+
+*Background Processes:*
+- βœ… Converted 8 Opus files to M4A (96kbps) - completed successfully
+- βœ… Recompressed 3 large M4A files to 64kbps mono for OpenAI compatibility - completed successfully
+
+*Next Steps:*
+
+- None - transcription workflow is production-ready
+- Future: Priority C task to clean up orphaned dwim-shell-security tests (see todo.org:336)

-#+TITLE: 🚨 EMACS CONFIG - ACTIVE PROJECT NOTES 🚨
-#+AUTHOR: Claude Code Session Notes
-#+DATE: 2025-10-30
-
-* About This File
-
-This file contains important information for Claude to remember between sessions working on Craig's Emacs configuration.
-
-**When to read this:**
-- At the start of EVERY session
-- Before making any significant decisions
-- When unclear about project direction or user preferences
-
-**What's in this file:**
-- User information (calendar, task list, working style)
-- Session protocols (how we start, wrap up, and work together)
-- File preferences and naming conventions
-- Emacs-specific development best practices
-- Project status, goals, and history
-- Active reminders and pending decisions
-
-Claude can modify this document to make collaboration more efficient and effective.
-
-* User Information
-
-** Calendar Location
-Craig's calendar is available at: =/home/cjennings/sync/org/gcal.org=
-
-Use this to:
-- Check meeting times and schedules
-- Verify when events occurred
-- See what's upcoming
-
-** Task List Location
-Craig's main task list is available at: =/home/cjennings/sync/org/roam/inbox.org=
-
-Use this to:
-- Add tasks to Craig's task list
-- Add reminders for Craig before next session
-- See all tasks he's working on outside this project
-
-** Working Style
-
-*** General Preferences
-- Prefers detailed preparation before high-stakes meetings
-- Values practice/role-play for negotiations and learning
-- Makes decisions based on principles and timeline arguments
-- Prefers written documentation over verbal agreements
-
-*** Emacs as Primary Working Tool
-- Craig uses Emacs for EVERYTHING (most-used software by significant margin)
-- Consider Emacs packages alongside other software when recommending solutions
-- Look for ways to streamline routine work with Emacs custom code if no packages exist
-- Config breakage blocks ALL work (email, calendar, tasks, programming, reading, music)
-
-** Miscellaneous Information
-- Craig currently lives in New Orleans, LA
-- Craig's phone number: 510-316-9357
-- Maintains remote server at cjennings.net domain
-- This project is in a git repository with remote at cjennings.net
-- Also pushes to GitHub as backup remote
-
-* Session Protocols
-
-** Session Start Routine
-
-When starting a new session with Craig:
-
-1. **Read this file completely** to understand project context
-2. **Check Active Reminders section** - Remind Craig of outstanding tasks
-3. **Check Pending Decisions section** - Follow up on decisions needed
-4. **Check V2MOM Progress** - Offer to work on top method/priority task
- - If no V2MOM exists, offer to create one using docs/sessions/create-v2mom.org
-5. **Scan docs/sessions/ directory** for available session types (see "Session Types" section below)
-
-** IMPORTANT: Reminders Protocol
-
-When starting a new session:
-- Check "Active Reminders" section below
-- Remind Craig of outstanding tasks he's asked to be reminded about
-- This ensures important follow-up actions aren't forgotten
-
-When Craig says "remind me" about something:
-1. Add it to Active Reminders section in this file
-2. If it's something he needs to DO, also add to =/home/cjennings/sync/org/roam/inbox.org= as TODO scheduled for today
-
-** Session Types: "Let's do a [session type] session"
-
-When Craig says this phrase:
-
-1. **Check for exact match** in docs/sessions/ directory
- - If exact match found: Read that session file and guide through workflow
- - Example: "refactor session" β†’ read docs/sessions/refactor.org
-
-2. **If no exact match but similar word exists:** Ask for clarification
- - Example: User says "empty inbox" but we have "inbox-zero.org"
- - Ask: "Did you mean the 'inbox zero' session, or create new 'empty inbox'?"
-
-3. **If no match at all:** Offer to create it
- - Say: "I don't see '[session-type]' yet. Create it using create-session workflow?"
- - If yes: Do create-session session, then use immediately (validates workflow)
-
-** "I want to do an X session with you" - DIFFERENT MEANING!
-
-⚠️ **IMPORTANT:** This phrase means something different!
-
-When Craig says "I want to do an X session with you":
-- This means: **CREATE a session definition** for doing X (meta-work)
-- This does **NOT** mean: "let's DO X right now" (the actual work)
-- Triggers the create-session workflow from docs/sessions/create-session.org
-
-*Examples:*
-- "I want to do an emacs inbox zero session" β†’ Create docs/sessions/inbox-zero.org
-- "I want to do a refactor session" β†’ Create docs/sessions/refactor.org
-- "I want to do a code review session" β†’ Create docs/sessions/code-review.org
-
-** "What Kind of Day Has It Been?" - Summary and Journal Routine
-
-When Craig asks this:
-
-1. **Display summary** of work done and discussions
- - Include: events, accomplishments, decisions, observations
- - Write in Craig's voice (as if you were Craig)
- - He'll review and approve or adjust
-
-2. **Add to Session History** below
- - Use timestamp format: =YYYY-MM-DD Day @ HH:MM TZ= (get TZ with =date +%z=)
- - Include summary from step 1
- - This creates permanent record for retrospectives
-
-3. **Note:** This info can also be part of wrap-up summary
-
-** "Wrap it up" / "That's a wrap" / "Let's call it a wrap" - End Session
-
-When Craig says any of these phrases (or variations), execute wrap-up workflow:
-
-1. **Write session notes** to this file (Session History section)
- - Key decisions made
- - Work completed
- - Context needed for next session
- - Any pending issues or blockers
- - New conventions or preferences learned
- - Critical reminders for tomorrow go in Active Reminders section
-
-2. **Git commit and push all changes**
- - Check git status and diff
- - Create descriptive commit message
- - Include co-author attribution: =Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>=
- - Push to ALL remotes (origin at cjennings.net + github)
- - Ensure working tree is clean
- - Confirm push succeeded
-
-3. **Valediction** - Brief, warm goodbye
- - Acknowledge the day's work
- - What was accomplished
- - What's ready for next session
- - Any important reminders
- - Keep it warm but concise
-
-*Slash command:* =/wrap-it-up= triggers this same workflow
-
-** πŸ”” Desktop Notifications Workflow
-
-**IMPORTANT: How Claude notifies Craig**
-
-Long-running tasks (> 1 minute) or blocking questions trigger desktop notifications via =notify-send=:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-notify-send "Claude Code" "Question: [Your input needed]" --urgency=normal
-#+END_SRC
-
-**When notifications ARE sent:**
-- βœ… When explicitly needing decision/input (blocking questions)
-- βœ… When multiple valid approaches exist and choice affects implementation
-- βœ… When encountering errors that require user guidance
-- βœ… **ONLY** when Claude cannot proceed without user input
-
-**When notifications are NOT sent:**
-- ❌ After completing tasks (informational updates)
-- ❌ During normal progress updates
-- ❌ When milestones are reached
-- ❌ For status messages or completion notices
-- ❌ ANY informational alerts
-
-**Setup:**
-- Requires =dunst= or similar notification daemon
-- Works with =notify-send= command
-- Always uses =--urgency=normal= (not critical)
-
-**Purpose:**
-Allows Craig to context-switch to other work while Claude runs long tasks. Get notified ONLY when input is needed. Check back when convenient for status updates.
-
-** The docs/ Directory
-
-Claude needs to add information to this NOTES file. For large amounts of information:
-
-- Create separate document in docs/ directory
-- Link it here with explanation of document's purpose
-- The docs/ directory should **never be committed** to git repository
-- Unless specified otherwise, all Claude-generated documents go in docs/ folder
-
-**When to break out documents:**
-- If this file gets very large (> 1500 lines)
-- If information isn't all relevant anymore
-- Example: Keep only last 3-4 months of session history here, move rest to separate file
-
-* File Format Preferences
-
-** ALWAYS Use Org-Mode Format
-
-Craig uses Emacs as primary tool. **ALWAYS** create new documentation files in =.org= format, not =.md= (markdown).
-
-*Rationale:*
-- Org-mode files are well-supported in Emacs
-- Can be easily exported to any other format (HTML, PDF, Markdown, etc.)
-- Better integration with user's workflow
-
-*Exception:* Only use .md if specifically requested or if file is intended for GitHub/web display where markdown is expected.
-
-** NEVER Use Spaces in Filenames
-
-**ALWAYS** use hyphens (=-=) to separate words in filenames. Underscores (=_=) are also acceptable.
-
-*Rationale:*
-- Spaces cause problems with links across different operating systems
-- User works with Mac, Windows, Linux, and potentially other systems
-- Hyphens create more reliable, portable filenames
-- Easier to work with in command-line tools
-
-*Examples:*
-- βœ“ Good: =project-meeting-notes.org=
-- βœ“ Good: =change-log-2025-11-04.md=
-- βœ— Bad: =project meeting notes.org=
-- βœ— Bad: =change log 2025.11.04.md=
-
-* File Naming Conventions
-
-** Files Too Large to Read
-
-PDFs or other files that are too large for Claude to read should be prefixed with =TOOLARGE-= to prevent read errors that halt the session.
-
-Example:
-- Original: =assets/large-architectural-plans.pdf=
-- Renamed: =assets/TOOLARGE-large-architectural-plans.pdf=
-
-** Unreadable Binary Files (.docx Format)
-
-Binary .docx files cannot be read directly by Claude. When encountering these:
-- Convert to markdown format using pandoc: =pandoc file.docx -o file.md=
-- Keep the original .docx file for reference
-- Work with the converted .md file for analysis and editing
-
-** CRITICAL: Always Keep Links Current
-
-Many documents are linked in various org files using org-mode =file:= links. Craig relies on these links being valid at all times.
-
-**MANDATORY WORKFLOW - When renaming or moving ANY file:**
-
-1. **BEFORE renaming:** Search ALL org files for references to that file
- - Use grep or search tools to find both filename and partial matches
- - Check in TODO items and event log sections
-
-2. **Rename or move the file**
-
-3. **IMMEDIATELY AFTER:** Update ALL =file:= links to new path/filename
- - Update links in task files
- - Update links in event logs
- - Update links in reference sections
-
-4. **Verify:** Test a few updated links to ensure they point to valid files
-
-Example workflow:
-#+begin_example
-# Step 1: Search before renaming
-grep -rn "2025-10-15-invoice.pdf" *.org
-
-# Step 2: Rename the file
-mv documents/2025-10-15-invoice.pdf documents/2025-10-15-vendor-invoice.pdf
-
-# Step 3: Update all references
-# Edit affected .org files to change paths
-
-# Step 4: Verify links work
-#+end_example
-
-*Why This is Critical:*
-- Org files are primary task tracking and reference system
-- Event logs document complete history with file references
-- Craig depends on clicking links to access documents quickly
-- Broken links disrupt workflow and make documentation unreliable
-
-**NEVER rename or move files without updating links in the same session.**
-
-* πŸ€” PENDING DECISIONS
-
-** Flymake/Flycheck Modeline Integration
-
-Craig was interested in adding error/warning counts to the modeline but hasn't decided on implementation details yet.
-
-**Questions to decide:**
-
-1. **Flymake vs Flycheck?**
- - Flymake is built-in and works with LSP (eglot)
- - Flycheck requires installation but has more checker backends
-
-2. **Format preference?**
- - Just counts: =E:3 W:5=
- - With symbols: =⚠ 3 βœ– 5=
- - Clickable to show diagnostics buffer?
-
-3. **Placement?**
- - Left side near major-mode, or right side with VC branch?
-
-4. **Active window only?**
- - Like your VC branch - only show in selected window
-
-**Implementation is ready** - just need Craig's preferences and Claude can add it exactly how he wants it.
-
-* 🧩 EMACS LISP DEVELOPMENT BEST PRACTICES
-
-**Critical Lessons: Preventing Parenthesis Errors**
-
-Both humans and AI struggle with balanced parentheses in deeply nested Emacs Lisp code. Here are proven strategies to prevent this:
-
-** For AI Code Generation
-
-*** 1. Write Small, Focused Functions
-- Keep functions under 15 lines when possible
-- Each function should do ONE thing
-- Easier to verify parentheses at a glance
-- Easier to test in isolation
-
-#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
-Bad (deeply nested, hard to verify):
-(defun process-data (data)
- (when (valid-p data)
- (let ((result (transform data)))
- (when result
- (let ((final (format result)))
- (when final
- (save final)))))))
-
-Good (broken into helpers):
-(defun process-data (data)
- (when (valid-p data)
- (save-result (format-result (transform-data data)))))
-
-(defun transform-data (data) ...)
-(defun format-result (result) ...)
-(defun save-result (final) ...)
-#+END_EXAMPLE
-
-*** 2. Test Immediately After Each Write
-- Write function β†’ check-parens β†’ test load β†’ repeat
-- Don't batch multiple functions before testing
-- Catch errors early when context is fresh
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-# After writing each function:
-emacs --batch file.el --eval '(check-parens)' && echo "βœ“"
-#+END_SRC
-
-*** 3. Prefer Write Over Multiple Edits
-- For complex new code: use Write tool (complete file)
-- Only use Edit for small, simple changes
-- Incremental edits can introduce subtle paren mismatches
-- Complete file Write is easier to verify
-
-*** 4. Validate Before Committing
-- Use pre-commit hooks to validate all .el files
-- Prevents committing broken code
-- Example in chime.el repository: .git/hooks/pre-commit
-
-*** 5. Test Emacs Launch After Non-Trivial Changes
-**CRITICAL: Always test that Emacs launches without errors after making changes**
-
-After completing any non-trivial code changes (new modules, integrations, etc.):
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-# 1. Run unit tests (if applicable)
-make test
-
-# 2. Test that Emacs launches without backtrace
-emacs --eval "(kill-emacs)"
-#+END_SRC
-
-This catches:
-- Syntax errors in :command specifications
-- Missing dependencies at load time
-- Invalid use-package configurations
-- Broken requires/provides
-
-**When to do this:**
-- βœ… After adding new checker definitions (flycheck, flymake)
-- βœ… After creating new modules
-- βœ… After modifying init.el or early-init.el
-- βœ… Before committing changes
-- βœ… After running all unit tests
-
-**Example lesson:** The LanguageTool integration used =(eval (expand-file-name ...))= in
-a =:command= specification, which caused a backtrace on startup. Testing Emacs launch
-would have caught this immediately instead of discovering it on next restart.
-
-** For Human Developers
-
-*** 1. Use Structural Editing Modes
-These PREVENT unbalanced parens:
-- **paredit** - Classic, strict structural editing
-- **smartparens** - More flexible, works with multiple languages
-- **lispy** - Modal editing for lisps
-- **electric-pair-mode** - Built-in, auto-closes parens
-
-*** 2. Enable Real-time Validation
-- **flycheck** + **flycheck-package** - Shows errors as you type
-- **flymake** - Built-in alternative
-- **rainbow-delimiters-mode** - Colors matching parens
-
-*** 3. Quick Validation Commands
-#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
-M-x check-parens ; Check current buffer
-M-x byte-compile-file ; More comprehensive checking
-#+END_SRC
-
-** Lessons from chime-org-contacts.el Development
-
-*** Original Problem
-Complex nested function with 6 levels of nesting:
-- Hard to count parentheses manually
-- AI kept adding/removing wrong number of closing parens
-- Functions weren't defined after file load
-- Wasted significant debugging time
-
-*** Solution That Worked
-Refactored into 3 helper functions:
-1. =chime-org-contacts--parse-birthday= (10 lines)
-2. =chime-org-contacts--format-timestamp= (4 lines)
-3. =chime-org-contacts--insert-timestamp-after-drawer= (12 lines)
-
-Main function became simple composition (10 lines).
-
-**Result:**
-- All functions defined correctly
-- Easy to verify parens by eye
-- Each function testable independently
-- 24 tests written covering all cases
-
-*** Key Insight
-Breaking complex code into small helpers:
-- βœ… Easier to verify correctness
-- βœ… Easier to test
-- βœ… Easier to maintain
-- βœ… Self-documenting through function names
-- βœ… AI and humans both succeed
-
-Deeply nested code:
-- ❌ Hard to verify
-- ❌ Hard to test
-- ❌ AI frequently makes paren errors
-- ❌ Humans make mistakes too

-Workflow for creating a V2MOM (Vision, Values, Methods, Obstacles, Metrics) strategic framework for any project or goal. Generic process applicable to Emacs config, health goals, financial planning, software development, or any long-running project.
-
-Workflow:
-1. Understand V2MOM framework
-2. Create document structure
-3. Define Vision (aspirational picture of success)
-4. Define Values (2-4 principles with concrete definitions)
-5. Define Methods (4-7 approaches ordered by priority)
-6. Identify Obstacles (honest personal/technical challenges)
-7. Define Metrics (measurable outcomes)
-8. Review and refine
-9. Commit and use immediately
-
-Time: ~2-3 hours total

-Weekly workflow for processing the "Emacs Config Inbox" heading in =todo.org= to zero by filtering through V2MOM framework.
-
-Workflow:
-1. Sort by priority (A β†’ B β†’ C β†’ none β†’ D)
-2. Claude rereads V2MOM
-3. Process each item through 3 questions:
- - Does this need to be done? β†’ DELETE if no
- - Related to V2MOM? β†’ Move to someday-maybe if no
- - Which method? β†’ Move to appropriate method
-4. Done when inbox heading is empty
-
-Target: 10 minutes active work time
-Cadence: Every Sunday, no longer than 7 days between sessions
-Maintains metrics: Active todos < 20, weekly triage consistency

-* CURRENT PROJECT STATUS
-
-** 🎯 What We're Doing
-Working through a systematic approach to clean up and prioritize Craig's Emacs config work:
-
-1. βœ… *COMPLETE V2MOM* (Vision, Values, Methods, Obstacles, Metrics) - DONE
-2. βœ… *TRIAGE todo.org* - Used V2MOM to ruthlessly cancel ~60% of tasks
-3. ⏳ *EXECUTE METHODS* - Working through prioritized tasks systematically
-4. ⏳ *BUILD OBSERVABILITY* - Create profiling infrastructure (Method 3)
-5. ⏳ *SYSTEMATIC EXECUTION* - Work through prioritized tasks one by one
-
-** πŸ“ Where We Are Right Now
-*Session Started:* 2025-10-30
-*Current Step:* βœ… V2MOM COMPLETE - Executing methods systematically
-*Time Committed:* Multiple sessions since 2025-10-30
-*Status:* V2MOM complete, executing Method 1 & 2 tasks, good progress on metrics
-
-** πŸ“„ Key Documents
-
-*** Primary Working Documents
-- *V2MOM:* [[file:EMACS-CONFIG-V2MOM.org][EMACS-CONFIG-V2MOM.org]] - Strategic framework for Emacs config (βœ… COMPLETE)
- - Vision, Values, Methods, Obstacles, Metrics
- - Used for decision-making and weekly triage
- - Read this first to understand strategic direction
-- *Issues Analysis:* [[file:../issues.org][../issues.org]] - Claude's detailed analysis with TIER system and implementations
-- *Current Inbox:* [[file:../inbox.org][../inbox.org]] - V2MOM-aligned tasks (~23 items after ruthless triage)
-
-*** Reference Documents

-- *Modules:* [[file:../modules/][../modules/]]
-- *Tests:* [[file:../tests/][../tests/]]
-
-** πŸ”‘ Key Insights About Craig's Work Patterns
-
-*** Strengths
-- Thoughtful and strategic thinker
-- Good research skills (thorough specs, complete code examples)
-- Does ship things (dashboard, dirvish, network check fixes, transcription)
-- Recognizes need for V2MOM framework
-- Uses config daily for real work
-
-*** Patterns to Address
-1. *Research > Execution* - Had complete code for several features, still TODO
-2. *Priority Inflation* - Too many [#A]/[#B] items, unclear what's actually urgent
-3. *Hard to Say No* - [#C]/[#D] items should be CANCELLED but remain in list
-4. *Side Projects Compete* - Dupre theme work competes with core config maintenance
-
-*** What Craig Told Us About Himself
-> "I am building tools both because they solve problems, but also because I enjoy building."
-
-This is healthy! But need balance:
-- Fix rough edges FIRST (daily pain points)
-- Build fun stuff SECOND (after maintenance)
-- Cancel distractions ALWAYS (Signal client, minimap, etc.)
-
-** 🎯 Agreed Goals for This Project
-
-*** Immediate (Next 2-3 Sessions)
-1. βœ… Complete V2MOM
-2. βœ… Triage todo.org using V2MOM as filter
-3. ⏳ Execute quick wins: network check, bug fixes, integrations
-4. ⏳ Build debug-profiling.el infrastructure
-
-*** Short Term (Next Month)
-5. Profile and optimize org-agenda performance
-6. Ship reveal.js presentation workflow
-7. Establish weekly triage ritual
-
-*** Long Term (Ongoing)
-8. Ship more than research
-9. Maintain < 20 active todos
-10. Measure metrics from V2MOM
-
-** πŸ“‹ TIER System from issues.org
-
-*** TIER 1: Do These First (High Impact, Low Effort) - 1 weekend
-- Remove network check (15 min) - βœ… DONE
-- Fix missing functions (30 min) - βœ… DONE
-- Corfu migration (2 hours) - Deferred (Company works fine)
-- Mood-line switch (30 min) - βœ… DONE
-- Bug fixes (1 hour) - βœ… DONE
-
-*** TIER 2: Build Observability (HIGHEST VALUE) - 1 week
-- Create debug-profiling.el module (3-4 hours)
-- Profile org-agenda-rebuild (1 hour)

-
-*** TIER 3: Quick Wins (After Profiling) - 1-2 hours each
-- Reveal.js presentation workflow (2 hours)
-- Difftastic integration (30 min) - βœ… DONE
-- Local package development workflow (1 hour)
-
-*** TIER 4: Maybe/Someday (Probably Never)
-- Code-maat reimplementation (HOLD)
-- LaTeX config (HOLD until concrete need)
-- Elfeed dashboard (HOLD - unclear if actually used)
-- DWIM shell integration (HOLD - current solution works)
-- Jumper package (HOLD - already maintaining chime + org-msg)
-
-** 🚫 Items That Should Be CANCELLED
-
-From todo.org, these don't serve the vision:
-- [#D] Signal Client - Not in vision
-- [#D] Awesome-tray / mode-icons - Already have modeline
-- [#C] Minimap - Interesting, not important
-- [#C] Install Magit TODOs - Already works fine
-- [#C] Git Timemachine litters buffers - Minor annoyance
-- Many Dupre theme TODOs - Side project competing with maintenance
-
-** πŸ’‘ Key Recommendations for Craig
-
-*** Week 1: Strategy + Quick Wins
-1. βœ… Complete V2MOM (2-3 hours)
-2. βœ… Triage todo.org using V2MOM (1-2 hours)
-3. βœ… Execute items you already have code for (2-3 hours)
-
-*** Week 2: Observability Infrastructure
-4. Build debug-profiling.el (3-4 hours)
-5. Profile org-agenda (1 hour)
-
-*** Week 3: Fix Performance + Ship Presentation
-6. Fix org-agenda based on profiling (2-3 hours)
-7. Ship reveal.js workflow (2 hours)
-
-*** Ongoing: Maintenance Discipline
-- Weekly triage ritual (30 min every Sunday)
-- Measure metrics (startup time, agenda time, todo count)
-- Ship > Research
-
-** πŸ”„ Next Session Pickup Points
-
-When starting next session, Claude should:
-
-1. **Read this document first** to understand context
-2. **Check Active Reminders** - Follow up on pending items
-3. **Check Pending Decisions** - See if Craig has made decisions
-4. **Check V2MOM status** - Continue with next priority method/task
-5. **Ask Craig:** "What would you like to work on today?"
-
-** 🎯 Success Metrics for This Project
-
-We'll know this is working when:
-- βœ… V2MOM is complete and provides clear strategic direction
-- βœ… todo.org shrinks from ~50 to < 20 active items
-- βœ… Craig ships 3-5 items per week (small but consistent)
-- ⏳ Craig has profiling infrastructure to measure performance
-- ⏳ Org agenda rebuild time is measured and improving
-- ⏳ Weekly triage becomes habit
-
-** πŸ’¬ Craig's Words to Remember
-
-> "I think you should adjust issues.org with all your recommendations. They are exciting, eye-opening, and just feel right. Add even your guidance on latex. spot on. thanks for your honesty. I did ask for it and am genuinely grateful for your responses. I'll take action on them."
-
-> "What I need help with is integrating this in with my existing todo.org file... Some of the tasks I've listed should probably just be deleted or better yet, marked CANCELLED."
-
-> "I have about an hour to devote. You could lead me through it, I could do some questions/answer rounds with you to clarify my thinking."
-
-> "There will always be cool ideas out there to implement and they will always be a web search away."
-
-Craig is ready to execute. He asked for honesty and took it well. He recognizes the patterns and wants systematic help.
-
-** πŸ› οΈ Technical Context
-
-*** Current Pain Points
-1. Org agenda is slow (performance bottleneck) - Need profiling
-2. βœ… Network check removed (was adding 1+ seconds to startup)
-3. βœ… Missing functions fixed (cj/log-silently, cj/goto-git-gutter-diff-hunks)
-4. Mail attachments workflow needs improvement
-5. No profiling infrastructure to measure performance
-
-*** Items Craig Already Has Code For
-These can be executed immediately - just paste and test:
-- βœ… Transcription workflow (implemented 2025-11-04)
-- βœ… Difftastic integration (implemented 2025-11-03)
-- Corfu migration (complete config, but deferred - Company works fine)
-
-*** Architecture
-- Modular structure: modules/*.el
-- Good test coverage for utilities
-- Modern packages: Vertico/Consult/Embark stack
-- Local package development: chime.el, org-msg

-*** Session: NOTES.org Consolidation & Template Integration
-
-*Time:* ~45 minutes
-*Status:* βœ… COMPLETE - Single comprehensive NOTES.org with generic protocols
-
-*What We Completed:*
-1. βœ… **Consolidated two NOTES.org files**
- - Deleted root ~/.emacs.d/NOTES.org (older 184-line version)
- - Kept docs/NOTES.org (comprehensive 1017-line version) as single source of truth
- - Eliminated duplicate/conflicting documentation
-
-2. βœ… **Enhanced docs/NOTES.org with template sections**
- - Reviewed template at ~/documents/claude/NOTES.org for generic best practices
- - Added "About This File" introduction with clear purpose
- - Added User Information section (calendar, task list, working style)
- - Enhanced Session Protocols:
- - Session Start Routine with checklist
- - **IMPORTANT: Reminders Protocol** (check at start, add to both files)

-*** Session: Create V2MOM Session Document
-
-*Time:* ~30 minutes
-*Status:* βœ… COMPLETE - Generic V2MOM session workflow documented
-
-*What We Completed:*
-1. βœ… **Created docs/sessions/create-v2mom.org**
- - Fully generic workflow applicable to any project/goal
- - Works for health, finance, software, personal infrastructure, etc.
- - Comprehensive 8-phase process with examples across domains
- - Time estimate: ~2-3 hours to create a V2MOM
-
-2. βœ… **Genericized from Emacs-specific version**
- - Removed all Emacs-specific instructions from process
- - Added diverse examples: health V2MOM, finance V2MOM, software V2MOM
- - Kept detailed Emacs config V2MOM as one example case study
- - Universal patterns identified: Fix β†’ Stabilize β†’ Build β†’ Enhance β†’ Sustain
-
-3. βœ… **Comprehensive documentation**
- - Clear phase-by-phase instructions
- - Decision frameworks for common situations
- - Principles to follow (honesty over aspiration, concrete over abstract)
- - Living document guidance
- - Multiple real-world examples
-
-*Key Decisions:*
-- V2MOM process should be project-agnostic at its core
-- Examples should span multiple domains to show universality
-- Emacs config V2MOM serves as detailed case study showing impact
-- Time commitment (2-3 hours) justified by weeks of focused work it enables
-
-*Files Created:*
-- docs/sessions/create-v2mom.org (comprehensive generic V2MOM workflow)
-
-*Next Steps:*

-*** Session 2 - Scratch Buffer Configuration
-
-*Time:* ~5 minutes
-*Status:* βœ… COMPLETE - Scratch buffer opens in org-mode with cursor at end
-
-*Problem:*
-- Scratch buffer opened in lisp-interaction-mode
-- Cursor positioned at beginning of buffer
-- Craig wanted org-mode with cursor ready to type at end
-
-*Solution:*
-1. **Set scratch buffer to org-mode** - =(setopt initial-major-mode 'org-mode)=
-2. **Move cursor to end on startup** - Added =emacs-startup-hook= to position cursor
-3. **Updated comment syntax** - Changed =;;= to =#= in greeting messages for org-mode
-
-*Files Modified:*
-- modules/system-utils.el:186-203
- - Added =initial-major-mode= configuration
- - Added startup hook for cursor positioning
- - Updated greeting message comment syntax for org-mode compatibility
-
-*Technical Details:*
-- Used =emacs-startup-hook= to run after init completes
-- Buffer name check ensures we only affect *scratch* buffer
-- Greeting message now uses org-mode comment syntax (#)
-
-*** Session 1 - Fix Google Calendar Password Prompts
-
-*Time:* ~15 minutes
-*Status:* βœ… COMPLETE - Fixed irritating password prompts every 10 minutes
-
-*Problem:*
-- Google Calendar auto-sync timer prompting for oauth2-auto.plist passphrase every ~10 minutes
-- Interrupting workflow with pinentry dialogs
-- Despite having gpg-agent configured with 400-day cache timeout
-
-*Root Cause:*
-- Line 27 in modules/auth-config.el: =(setenv "GPG_AGENT_INFO" nil)=
-- This was telling Emacs to IGNORE the gpg-agent entirely
-- Result: gpg-agent's 400-day cache was being bypassed
-- Plstore (used by oauth2-auto) was loading too late in org-gcal-config
-
-*Solution:*
-1. **Disabled GPG_AGENT_INFO override** - Commented out line preventing agent use
-2. **Added auth-source-cache-expiry** - 24-hour cache for decrypted credentials
-3. **Moved plstore configuration** - From org-gcal-config to auth-config (loads earlier)
-4. **Set plstore caching globally** - =plstore-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption t=
-
-*Files Modified:*
-- modules/auth-config.el:
- - Commented out =(setenv "GPG_AGENT_INFO" nil)= (was preventing cache)
- - Added =(setq auth-source-cache-expiry 86400)= (24-hour cache)
- - Added new plstore use-package block with caching enabled
-- modules/org-gcal-config.el:
- - Removed plstore configuration (now in auth-config.el)
- - Updated comments to reference global config
-
-*Technical Details:*
-- oauth2-auto.plist uses symmetric encryption (passphrase-based)
-- gpg-agent.conf already had =default-cache-ttl 34560000= (400 days)
-- gpg-agent needed to be reloaded: =gpgconf --reload gpg-agent=
-- Plstore now caches passphrase indefinitely via gpg-agent
-
-*User Quote:*
-> "It's making me crazy!"
-
-Totally valid! Getting interrupted every 10 minutes is legitimately maddening. Fixed! βœ…

- - Identified ~50 external dependencies across all feature areas
- - Organized by functionality: media, email, programming, documents, etc.
- - Distinguished required vs optional dependencies
-
-2. βœ… **Created config-dependencies.org**
- - Quick reference commands (minimal, recommended, full install)
- - Detailed documentation for each dependency:
- - Package names (pacman/yay/pip/npm/go)
- - What modules use them
- - Functionality enabled
- - Required vs optional status

-
-*** Session 3 - LanguageTool Grammar Checker Test Suite
-
-*Time:* ~1 hour
-*Status:* βœ… COMPLETE - Comprehensive test suite with 15 passing tests
-
-*What We Completed:*
-
-1. βœ… **Created Test Fixtures** (tests/fixtures/)
- - grammar-errors-basic.txt - Common grammar errors (subject-verb, could of, etc.)
- - grammar-errors-punctuation.txt - Punctuation and spacing issues
- - grammar-correct.txt - Clean baseline for comparison
- - Deterministic fixtures for reliable testing
-
-2. βœ… **Unit Tests** (test-flycheck-languagetool-setup.el)
- - 6 tests verifying LanguageTool installation and setup
- - Checks binary availability, wrapper script existence
- - Validates wrapper script structure (shebang, imports)
- - Tests error handling for missing arguments
- - All tests pass βœ“ (< 1 second)
-
-3. βœ… **Integration Tests** (test-integration-grammar-checking.el)
- - 9 tests covering end-to-end grammar checking workflow
- - Tests wrapper script with real LanguageTool execution
- - Validates flycheck-compatible output format
- - Normal cases: error detection, output formatting
- - Boundary cases: empty files, single word, multiple paragraphs
- - Error cases: nonexistent files, missing arguments
- - All tests pass βœ“ (~35 seconds with real LanguageTool execution)
-
-4. βœ… **Applied Testing Philosophy** from quality-engineer.org
- - Focus on OUR code (wrapper script), not flycheck internals
- - Trust external frameworks work correctly
- - Test real integration with actual LanguageTool execution
- - Comprehensive docstrings listing integrated components
- - Clear test categories: Normal, Boundary, Error cases
- - No over-mocking of domain logic
-
-*Key Decisions:*
-- Don't test flycheck framework internals (trust it works)
-- Test our integration code with real external tools
-- Use real fixtures instead of generated test data
-- Integration tests run slower but provide high confidence
-
-*Files Created:*
-- tests/test-flycheck-languagetool-setup.el
-- tests/test-integration-grammar-checking.el
-- tests/fixtures/grammar-errors-basic.txt
-- tests/fixtures/grammar-errors-punctuation.txt
-- tests/fixtures/grammar-correct.txt

-*** Session 2 - Emergency Bug Fixes & Modeline Polish
-
-*Time:* ~30 minutes
-*Status:* βœ… COMPLETE - Fixed async buffer error and improved modeline spacing
-
-*What We Completed:*
-
-1. βœ… **Fixed Critical Async Buffer Error on Startup**
- - Problem: "Selecting deleted buffer" error in async.el during init
- - Root cause: wttrin-mode-line-mode starting async HTTP request during init
- - Solution: Delayed activation using after-init-hook
- - Weather widget now loads AFTER Emacs finishes initializing
- - Prevents async buffer from being killed before request completes
-
-2. βœ… **Fixed Parenthesis Error in weather-config.el**
- - Removed extra closing parenthesis that prevented file from loading
- - Verified with check-parens
-
-3. βœ… **Improved Modeline Right-Side Spacing**
- - Problem: Right-most icon (weather) appeared flush with window edge
- - Discovered: Regular spaces were being trimmed by right-align mechanism
- - Solution: Added 2 non-breaking spaces (U+00A0) after misc-info segment
- - Provides visual breathing room without being excessive
-
-*Key Technical Insights:*
-- Async operations during init need careful timing (use after-init-hook)
-- mode-line-right-align-edge 'right-margin trims trailing regular spaces
-- Non-breaking spaces (U+00A0) survive trimming in modeline format
-
-*Files Modified:*
-- modules/weather-config.el - Added after-init-hook delay for mode-line widget
-- modules/modeline-config.el - Added 2 non-breaking spaces at end
-
-*** Session 1 - Complete Transcription Workflow Implementation
-
-*Time:* ~3 hours
-*Status:* βœ… COMPLETE - Full async transcription system with 60 passing tests
-
-*What We Completed:*
-
-1. βœ… **Installed Whisper Locally**
- - Created install-whisper.sh with AUR support (python-openai-whisper)
- - Created uninstall-whisper.sh for clean removal
- - Installed via AUR successfully
- - Added --yes flag for non-interactive automation
-
-2. βœ… **Created CLI Transcription Scripts**
- - scripts/local-whisper - Uses installed Whisper (works offline)
- - scripts/oai-transcribe - Uses OpenAI API (faster, requires API key)
- - Both scripts output to stdout, log to stderr
- - Proper error handling and validation
-
-3. βœ… **Implemented Full Transcription Module** (modules/transcription-config.el)
- - Async transcription workflow (non-blocking)
- - Desktop notifications (started, complete, error)
- - Output: audio.txt (transcript) + audio.log (process logs)
- - Log cleanup: auto-delete on success (configurable)
- - Modeline integration: Shows ⏺count of active transcriptions
- - Clickable modeline to view *Transcriptions* buffer
- - Process tracking and management
-
-4. βœ… **Comprehensive Test Suite - 60 Tests, All Passing**
- - test-transcription-audio-file.el (16 tests) - Extension detection
- - test-transcription-paths.el (11 tests) - File path logic
- - test-transcription-log-cleanup.el (5 tests) - Log retention
- - test-transcription-duration.el (9 tests) - Time formatting
- - test-transcription-counter.el (11 tests) - Active count & modeline
- - test-integration-transcription.el (8 tests) - End-to-end workflows
- - Tests found and fixed 1 bug (nil handling in audio detection)
- - Normal, boundary, and error cases covered
-
-5. βœ… **Reorganized Keybindings**
- - Moved gcal from C-; g/t/r/G to C-; g s/t/r/c submenu
- - Created C-; t transcription submenu:
- - C-; t a β†’ transcribe audio
- - C-; t v β†’ view transcriptions
- - C-; t k β†’ kill transcription
- - Dired/Dirvish: T β†’ transcribe file at point
- - which-key integration for discoverability
-
-6. βœ… **Added Audio Extensions to user-constants.el**
- - Centralized cj/audio-file-extensions list
- - Shared across transcription and future audio features
- - Used defvar (not defcustom) per Craig's preference
-
-*Key Decisions:*
-- **Simplified UX:** No org-capture integration (initially planned), just file in/out
-- **Minimalist approach:** Audio files β†’ .txt transcripts (no complex templates)
-- **Testable architecture:** Pure functions separated from I/O
-- **defvar over defcustom:** All configuration variables use defvar
-
-*Files Created:*
-- scripts/install-whisper.sh
-- scripts/uninstall-whisper.sh
-- scripts/local-whisper
-- scripts/oai-transcribe
-- modules/transcription-config.el
-- tests/test-transcription-*.el (5 test files)
-
-*Files Modified:*
-- modules/user-constants.el (added cj/audio-file-extensions)
-- modules/org-gcal-config.el (reorganized keybindings to C-; g submenu)

- - Documented in both slash command and NOTES.org terminology section
- - Ensures clean session endings with no lost work
-
-3. βœ… Added reminder for Flymake/Flycheck modeline integration
- - Created "PENDING DECISIONS" section in NOTES.org
- - Questions documented: Flymake vs Flycheck, format, placement, active window
- - Implementation ready - just needs user preferences
- - Craig will be reminded proactively at next session start
-
-*Key Decisions:*
-- Dual documentation approach (slash command + phrase recognition) for reliability
-- Craig expressed gratitude: "my life is genuinely improving while working with you"

-*** Session 2 - V2MOM Complete!
-
-*Time:* ~1.5 hours
-*Status:* βœ… COMPLETE - V2MOM finalized and ready for use
-
-*What We Completed:*
-1. βœ… Finalized all 6 Methods with aspirational bodies and concrete actions:
- - Method 1: Make Using Emacs Frictionless (performance & functionality fixes)
- - Method 2: Stop Problems Before They Appear (proactive package maintenance)
- - Method 3: Make *Fixing* Emacs Frictionless (observability/tooling)
- - Method 4: Contribute to the Emacs Ecosystem (package maintenance tooling)
- - Method 5: Be Kind To Your Future Self (new features)
- - Method 6: Develop Disciplined Engineering Practices (meta-method with measurable outcomes)
-
-2. βœ… Completed Obstacles section (6 honest, personal obstacles with real stakes)
- - Building vs fixing tension
- - Getting irritated at mistakes
- - Hard to say "no"
- - Perfectionism
- - Limited time sessions
- - New habits are hard to sustain
-
-3. βœ… Completed Metrics section (Performance, Discipline, Quality metrics)
- - Startup time: < 3s (currently 6.2s)
- - Org-agenda: < 5s (currently 30+s)
- - Active todos: < 20 (currently ~50+)
- - Weekly triage consistency
- - Research:shipped ratio > 1:1
- - Config uptime: never broken > 2 days
- - Test coverage: > 70% with justification for uncovered code
-
-4. βœ… Implemented cj/diff-buffer-with-file
- - Added to modules/custom-buffer-file.el
- - Bound to C-; b D
- - Unified diff format with proper error handling
- - TODO comment for future difftastic integration
-
-5. βœ… Added missing items to Methods based on Craig's research:
- - Fixed org-noter (Method 1)
- - Added Buttercup (Method 3)
- - Added package maintenance tools (Method 4: package-lint, melpazoid, elisp-check, undercover)
- - Added wttrin to maintained packages list
-
-*Key Insights:*
-- Craig wants to DELETE research files: "There will always be cool ideas out there to implement and they will always be a web search away"
-- Ruthless prioritization is already happening
-- Method ordering: fix β†’ stabilize β†’ build infrastructure β†’ contribute β†’ enhance β†’ sustain
-- Adjusted startup target from 2s to 3s (more achievable, less perfectionism trap)
-
-*Key Files Modified:*
-- [[file:EMACS-CONFIG-V2MOM.org][EMACS-CONFIG-V2MOM.org]] - Now 100% complete with all sections filled
-- [[file:../modules/custom-buffer-file.el][modules/custom-buffer-file.el]] - Added cj/diff-buffer-with-file function
-
-*** Session 3 - RUTHLESS EXECUTION! πŸš€
-
-*Time:* ~2 hours
-*Status:* Method 1 in progress - shipped 2 wins, discovered 3 bugs
-
-*What We Completed:*
-1. βœ… **RUTHLESS PRIORITIZATION EXECUTED!**
- - Moved todo.org β†’ docs/someday-maybe.org (~50 items archived)
- - Created fresh inbox.org with ONLY V2MOM-aligned tasks (23 items)
- - Already under < 20 active items goal!
-
-2. βœ… **SHIPPED: Network check removal** (Method 1)
- - Deleted =cj/internet-up-p= blocking ping function
- - Removed network cache variables
- - Simplified to use package priorities instead
- - .localrepo (priority 200) ensures offline reproducibility
- - **RESULT: 6.19s β†’ 4.16s startup time (2.03 seconds faster!)**
-
-3. βœ… **SHIPPED: cj/diff-buffer-with-file** (Method 1)
- - Implemented in modules/custom-buffer-file.el
- - Bound to C-; b D
- - Weekly need satisfied
-
-4. βœ… **Updated reset-to-first-launch.sh**
- - Added missing transient files/directories
- - Keeps docs/, inbox.org, .localrepo safe
- - Ready for testing offline installs
-
-5. βœ… **Tested .localrepo offline install capability**
- - Works perfectly for package.el packages
- - Discovered 3 bugs during test (logged in inbox.org)
-
-*Bugs Discovered (all logged in inbox.org):*
-1. **Chime throw/catch error** - High priority
- - Error: "(no-catch --cl-block-chime-check-- nil)"
- - Fix: Change defun to cl-defun or add catch block
- - Currently disabled to unblock startup
-
-2. **go-ts-mode-map keybinding error**
- - Error: "void-variable go-ts-mode-map"
- - Fix: Wrap in with-eval-after-load
-
-3. **Treesitter grammars not in .localrepo** (limitation documented)
- - Expected behavior - treesit-auto downloads separately
-
-*Metrics Update:*
-- Startup time: 6.19s β†’ 4.16s (**2.03s improvement!**)
-- Only 1.16s away from < 3s target!
-- Active todos: ~23 items (hit < 20 goal when excluding tracking tasks!)
-- Shipped items: 2 (network check, diff-buffer-with-file)
-
-*Key Files Modified:*
-- [[file:../early-init.el][early-init.el]] - Network check removed, cj/use-online-repos simplified
-- [[file:../modules/custom-buffer-file.el][custom-buffer-file.el]] - Added cj/diff-buffer-with-file
-- [[file:../inbox.org][inbox.org]] - Fresh V2MOM-aligned todo list created
-- [[file:../scripts/reset-to-first-launch.sh][reset-to-first-launch.sh]] - Updated with missing transient files
-- [[file:SOMEDAY-MAYBE.org][SOMEDAY-MAYBE.org]] - Old todo.org archived here
-
-*Craig's Words:*
-> "There will always be cool ideas out there to implement and they will always be a web search away."
-
-Ruthless prioritization in action! Deleted research files, focused execution.
-

-
-*** Session 1 - V2MOM In Progress
-
-*Time:* ~1 hour
-*Status:* PAUSED - V2MOM 60% complete
-
-*What We Completed:*
-1. βœ… Created docs/ directory structure
-2. βœ… Created SESSION-HANDOFF-ACTIVE-PROJECT.org
-3. βœ… Created emacs-config-v2mom.org
-4. βœ… Created values-comparison.org (analysis doc)
-5. βœ… Completed Vision (already existed, kept as-is)
-6. βœ… Completed Values section (Intuitive, Fast, Simple)
- - Intuitive: Muscle memory, mnemonics, which-key timing, "newspaper" code
- - Fast: Startup < 2s, org-agenda is THE bottleneck, everything else acceptable
- - Simple: Production software practices, simplicity produces reliability

+** TODO [#C] Remove orphaned dwim-shell-security tests and unused production code
+
+Why: 12 tests in test-dwim-shell-security.el fail because the functions they test
+are inside a use-package :config block (dwim-shell-config.el:101-108) that only
+loads when the dwim-shell-command package is available. During batch testing,
+the package isn't loaded, so functions are never defined (void-function errors).
+
+These are PDF password protection and ZIP encryption functions that likely have
+never been used in practice - they're placeholder code from initial setup.
+
+What to delete:
+1. Test file: tests/test-dwim-shell-security.el (12 failing tests)
+2. Production functions in modules/dwim-shell-config.el (lines ~302-347):
+ - cj/dwim-shell-commands-pdf-password-protect (lines 302-324)
+ - cj/dwim-shell-commands-pdf-password-unprotect (lines 326-347)
+ - cj/dwim-shell-commands-create-encrypted-zip (search for it)
+ - cj/dwim-shell-commands-remove-zip-encryption (search for it)
+
+After deletion: Run "make test-all" to confirm 18 failures β†’ 6 failures
+(only benchmark performance tests remain, which are environment-dependent).
+
+Aligns with: Reducing test failures from 18 to 6, cleaning up unused code.
