-* CURRENT PROJECT STATUS
-
-** 🎯 What We're Doing
-Working through a systematic approach to clean up and prioritize Craig's Emacs config work:
-
-1. ✅ *COMPLETE V2MOM* (Vision, Values, Methods, Obstacles, Metrics) - IN PROGRESS
-2. ⏳ *TRIAGE todo.org* - Use V2MOM to ruthlessly cancel ~60% of tasks
-3. ⏳ *EXECUTE TIER 1* - Ship quick wins (network check removal, Corfu, bug fixes)
-4. ⏳ *BUILD OBSERVABILITY* - Create profiling infrastructure (TIER 2)
-5. ⏳ *SYSTEMATIC EXECUTION* - Work through prioritized tasks one by one
-
-** 📍 Where We Are Right Now
-*Session Started:* 2025-10-30
-*Current Step:* V2MOM Methods section (60% complete - Vision + Values done)
-*Time Committed:* ~1 hour sessions, working systematically
-*Status:* PAUSED between sessions - resuming later this evening
-
-** 📄 Key Documents
-
-*** Primary Working Documents
-- *V2MOM:* [[file:emacs-config-v2mom.org][emacs-config-v2mom.org]] - Strategic framework (ACTIVELY EDITING)
-- *Issues Analysis:* [[file:../issues.org][../issues.org]] - Claude's detailed analysis with TIER system and implementations
-- *Current Todos:* [[file:../todo.org][../todo.org]] - Craig's existing task list (~50+ items, needs triage)
-
-*** Reference Documents
-- *Config Root:* [[file:../init.el][../init.el]]
-- *Modules:* [[file:../modules/][../modules/]]
-- *Tests:* [[file:../tests/][../tests/]]
-
-** 🔑 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)
-- Recognizes need for V2MOM framework
-- Uses config daily for real work
-
-*** Patterns to Address
-1. *Research > Execution* - Has complete code for Corfu, difftastic, transcription workflow... still TODO
-2. *Priority Inflation* - Too many [#A]/[#B] items, unclear what's actually urgent
-3. *Incomplete Strategy* - V2MOM structure exists but sections are empty
-4. *Hard to Say No* - [#C]/[#D] items should be CANCELLED but remain in list
-5. *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. ✅ Complete V2MOM (IN PROGRESS)
-2. ⏳ Triage todo.org using V2MOM as filter
-3. ⏳ Execute quick wins: network check, Corfu migration, bug fixes
-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
-
-** 📋 TIER System from issues.org
-
-*** TIER 1: Do These First (High Impact, Low Effort) - 1 weekend
-- Remove network check (15 min)
-- Fix missing functions (30 min)
-- Corfu migration (2 hours)
-- Mood-line switch (30 min)
-- Bug fixes (1 hour)
-
-*** TIER 2: Build Observability (HIGHEST VALUE) - 1 week
-- Create debug-profiling.el module (3-4 hours)
-- Profile org-agenda-rebuild (1 hour)
-- Add instrumentation and caching (2 hours)
-- Test org-agenda filtering functions (2-3 hours)
-
-*** TIER 3: Quick Wins (After Profiling) - 1-2 hours each
-- Reveal.js presentation workflow (2 hours)
-- Difftastic integration (30 min)
-- 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
-
-## 💡 Key Recommendations for Craig
-
-### Week 1: Strategy + Quick Wins
-1. Complete V2MOM (2-3 hours)
-2. Triage todo.org using V2MOM (1-2 hours)
-3. 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
-
-** 🔄 Next Session Pickup Points
-
-When starting next session, Claude should:
-
-1. **Read this document first** to understand context
-2. **Check V2MOM status** - If incomplete, continue there
-3. **Reference issues.org** for detailed technical recommendations
-4. **Reference todo.org** for items to triage
-5. **Ask Craig:** "Where did we leave off? V2MOM? Triage? Execution?"
-
-** 📞 Questions to Ask Craig Next Session
-
-*IMMEDIATE (when resuming):*
-- "Ready to continue V2MOM? We left off at Methods section."
-- "How much time do you have?"
-
-*FOR METHODS SECTION:*
-Show Craig the draft list and ask:
-- "Which methods do you already do consistently?"
-- "Which do you want to do but don't yet?"
-- "Am I missing any important methods?"
-
-*AFTER V2MOM COMPLETE:*
-- "Ready to triage todo.org using the V2MOM?"
-- "Should we execute quick wins or continue systematic triage?"
-
-** 🎯 Success Metrics for This Project
-
-We'll know this is working when:
-- ✅ V2MOM is complete and provides clear strategic direction
-- ✅ todo.org shrinks from ~50 to < 20 active items
-- ✅ 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
-
-** 💬 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."
-
-Craig is ready to execute. He asked for honesty and took it well. He recognizes the patterns and wants systematic help.
-
-** 🛠️ Technical Context
-
-*** Current Pain Points
-1. Org agenda is slow (performance bottleneck)
-2. Network check adds 1+ seconds to startup (technical debt)
-3. Missing functions cause errors (cj/log-silently, cj/goto-git-gutter-diff-hunks)
-4. Mail attachments workflow is awkward
-5. No profiling infrastructure to measure performance
-
-*** Items Craig Already Has Code For
-These can be executed immediately - just paste and test:
-- Transcription workflow (complete bash + elisp in todo.org:2-99)
-- Difftastic integration (complete config in todo.org:1211-1223)
-- Corfu migration (complete config in todo.org:1611-1639)
-
-*** Architecture
-- Modular structure: modules/*.el
-- Good test coverage for utilities
-- Modern packages: Vertico/Consult/Embark stack
-- Local package development: chime.el, org-msg

-** 🚀 Current Session Notes
-
-*** 2025-10-30 Session 1 - V2MOM In Progress
-*Time:* ~1 hour
-*Status:* PAUSED - V2MOM 60% complete
-
-*What We Completed:*
-1. ✅ Created docs/ directory structure
-2. ✅ Created SESSION-HANDOFF-ACTIVE-PROJECT.org (this file)
-3. ✅ Created emacs-config-v2mom.org
-4. ✅ Created values-comparison.org (analysis doc)
-5. ✅ Completed Vision (already existed, kept as-is)
-6. ✅ 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
-
-*What's Next:*
-1. ⏳ *Methods* - IN PROGRESS (have draft list, need Craig's input)
-2. ⏳ *Obstacles* - TODO
-3. ⏳ *Metrics* - TODO
-4. ⏳ *Finalize V2MOM* - Review and commit
-
-*Draft Methods List (Need Craig's Feedback):*
-These were proposed but Craig stopped before reviewing:
-1. Ruthless prioritization (V2MOM guides triage)
-2. Profile before optimizing (build observability first)
-3. Test-driven development (tests enable confident refactoring)
-4. Ship > Research (execute existing specs before exploring new)
-5. Weekly triage ritual (review todos, cancel stale, keep < 20 active)
-6. Measure metrics (track startup, agenda, test coverage, todo count)
-7. Extract packages (when custom code grows: chime, org-msg pattern)
-8. Incremental execution (ship small, test, iterate)
-
-*Questions to Ask Craig When Resuming:*
-- Which methods do you already do consistently?
-- Which do you want to do but don't yet?
-- Am I missing any important methods?
-
-*After Methods/Obstacles/Metrics Complete:*
-Then move to triage todo.org using completed V2MOM as filter.
-
-*Key Files Modified This Session:*
-- [[file:emacs-config-v2mom.org][emacs-config-v2mom.org]] - Main working document (60% complete)
-- [[file:values-comparison.org][values-comparison.org]] - Analysis doc (reference only)
-- [[file:SESSION-HANDOFF-ACTIVE-PROJECT.org][SESSION-HANDOFF-ACTIVE-PROJECT.org]] - This file
-
-*Next Session Starts With:*
-1. Read this handoff document
-2. Read emacs-config-v2mom.org to see what's complete
-3. Ask Craig: "Ready to continue V2MOM with Methods section?"
-4. Show Craig the draft Methods list
-5. Get feedback and complete Methods
-6. Move to Obstacles
-7. Move to Metrics
-8. Finalize V2MOM
-9. Then triage todo.org
