Session Recap, 2026-05-21

Two lost branches saved. Same lesson twice.

Rebuilt the RSS.app webhook in clawcontrol that never got pushed before the 2026-05-18 session ended. Also pushed two commits in SeanPromptimized that had been sitting unpushed since 2026-04-29. Both were "saved" in memory notes. Neither was actually preserved.

What got done

Two independent fixes, one shared root cause. Both saved by pushing this time.

Rebuild Shipped

RSS.app webhook in clawcontrol

The feat/rss-app-webhook branch from 2026-05-18 was gone. Rebuilt the Netlify Function, REST client, 13 bundle IDs, and Supabase fan-out from the memory note. Pushed and opened PR #1.

SeanPromptimized backlog

Two local commits had been sitting unpushed since 2026-04-29. Remote had a PDF addition from another machine. Rebased local on top of remote, pushed clean to the private MerlinoMarketing repo.

The RSS.app rebuild, end to end

What was lost, what was rebuilt, and where it routes when a feed fires.

2026-05-18, evening
Original work created
RSS.app account active. 54 feeds, 13 bundles. feat/rss-app-webhook branch in clawcontrol with the Netlify function. Memory note says "NOT MERGED yet."
2026-05-18, session end
Session closed, branch never pushed
No git push -u origin feat/rss-app-webhook ran. Local branch existed only on the Windows machine. Memory note still said work was preserved.
2026-05-20
Branch unreachable
git fetch --all showed only master, two codex branches, and a backup. No RSS-related commits in full history. Work was gone.
2026-05-21
Rebuilt from memory + skill docs
9 files, 688 lines. TypeScript Netlify Function, REST client for all 14 RSS.app endpoints, 13 bundle IDs and 9 BMM social feed IDs as constants, fan-out to Supabase and Discord, migration for 5 log tables. Branch pushed and PR opened.

SeanPromptimized, sync resolved

Different machine had pushed since the last local commit. Rebased local on top, pushed.

Resolution
git pull --rebase put the 2 local commits on top of the remote PDF commit. One clean push, linear history preserved, no merge commits.

The lesson

Both failures came from the same place. Same fix, applied twice.

Memory is not preservation
A memory note saying "branch exists" or "NOT MERGED yet" is not proof the work is preserved. Preservation requires a remote branch, a checked-in stash, or a tag on the server. Anything else lives only on the machine where it was created.
git push -u origin <branch>
