 ** Active Goal
 
+Multi-strand session that started as inbox triage and expanded into: (1) authoring the no-approvals project workflow and running the rest of the session under it, (2) adding the recommendation-at-item-1 convention to claude-rules/interaction.md, (3) filing 3 TODOs from pearl + codex + org-drill inbox handoffs, (4) running a full spec-review/spec-response cycle (two Codex rounds, three rulesets responses) on a working draft of iteration-history entries, (5) committing Craig's in-flight Review-and-iteration-history requirement on the spec workflows, then splicing the backfilled history entries into both workflow files.
+
 ** Decisions
 
+- *No-approvals mode for the session* (Craig invoked it after initial inbox triage): no per-commit approval gates, /review-code + /voice personal still mandatory, stop only on a real question with recommendation at item 1.
+- *Compound-id heading shape for iteration history* (Craig's choice over sequence labels): =YYYY-MM-DD Day @ HH:MM:SS -ZZZZ — Contributor — Role= as opaque id. Timestamp + contributor + role concatenate; nothing else should be read in. Rejected sequence-based labels (Draft 1, Review 1, etc.) on the grounds that sequence implies ordering it can't reliably carry under branching.
+- *Literal-bottom placement* for the Review and iteration history section on both workflow files (after Living Document / Research notes).
+- *Combined Iteration 2 entry* — "reviewer + responder" — honest to single-pass evidence (commit 7f2aea1 fused review and fold).
+- *Original-draft Why lines replaced with Craig's direct rationale:* Iteration 1 motivated by division-of-labor by comparative advantage (Craig on user scenarios + direction-setting, agents on structured technical review); Iteration 3 motivated by needing scannable processing state inside spec content, since file mtime / created-time was the only signal and was silly + error-prone.
+- *Open-tasks.org WIP left uncommitted* alongside the iteration-history work — separate logical change. Eventually bundled in af9316c by Craig's staging direction.
+- *Final session commit bundled by Craig* spanning open-tasks WIP + live session-context + inbox arrivals (af9316c).
+
 ** Data Collected / Findings
 
+- Spec workflows had only one prior commit (=7f2aea1=, 2026-05-23) before this session. Sparse history that the backfill captures with two pre-existing iterations (Draft 1 + Review-and-Fold) plus the two new ones from this session (Requirement addition + the backfill itself).
+- Two spec-response cycles on the working draft: Codex Round 1 verdict =Not ready= (two blocking findings on per-file conflation — Iteration 2 entries mixed pair-level changes into single-file histories). Codex Round 2 verdict =Ready with caveats= after Response 1 corrections (the caveats were the 4 Craig-facing open questions, all resolved interactively).
+- Canonical/mirror sync requirement: rulesets has both =claude-templates/.ai/workflows/= (canonical) and =.ai/workflows/= (mirror). They must stay byte-identical. Codex caught the mirror lagging canonical during the WIP phase; addressed via rsync before each commit.
+- 5 inbox arrivals during the session (4 pearl notes, 1 .emacs.d note). All left for next session except the .emacs.d recommendation-at-item-1 suggestion, which was the original triage scope.
+- The new =no-approvals.org= workflow lives in =.ai/project-workflows/= (project-only). Could be promoted to template if it proves useful elsewhere.
+- The =recommendation-at-item-1= rule landed as an H3 inside =No Popup Menus for Choices= in interaction.md (Craig placed it himself there during the response cycle, better placement than the proposed H2).
+
 ** Files Modified
 
+Nine commits this session, all authored Craig, all pushed to =origin/main= (=adce315..af9316c=):
+
+- =e27bf57= feat(workflows): add no-approvals.org project workflow
+- =1777773= docs(rules): add recommendation-at-item-1 convention to interaction.md
+- =96f0a5f= chore(intake): file pearl pattern-catalog and codex runtime spec as TODOs
+- =80775e7= chore(intake): file org-drill iteration-history backfill as TODO
+- =e83e323= docs(todo): clarify what blocks the iteration-history backfill TODO
+- =55adf6e= feat(workflows): add iteration-history requirement to spec workflows
+- =684b273= feat(workflows): backfill iteration history in spec workflows
+- =af9316c= chore(session): snapshot WIP, session-context, and inbox arrivals
+- (this wrap-up commit)
+
+Working dir =working/spec-workflows-iteration-history-backfill/= created, used, and deleted across the session — never committed; ships as content spliced into the workflow files.
+
 ** Next Steps
 
+- *Iteration-history backfill TODO* — DONE (closed in 684b273). Future spec reviews/responses under either workflow will add their own entries per the new requirement.
+- *Open-tasks.org WIP* — committed in af9316c. Still represents in-flight work on Next Mode's friction cascade; Craig may iterate further or it may already be the final shape.
+- *Three filed TODOs from this session:* Cross-project pattern catalog (pearl), Generic agent runtime support — Codex spec v0 (codex), Iteration-history backfill (DONE). The two pearl + codex ones are open at [#C], parked until Craig directs.
+- *5 unprocessed inbox arrivals* plus 1 PROCESSED-prefixed mid-handling file — next session's inbox phase will pick those up.
+- *no-approvals.org workflow* — project-only for now; consider promotion to template if useful across projects.
+- *Carryover open TODOs unchanged:* memory-sync direction, create-documentation + /update-skills skills, coverage-summary templatization, the daily-prep→triage delegation, MCP follow-ups.
