Session log — PageMotor 0.9.2b rollout to local factory sites

5 June 2026, afternoon · PageMotor · Hasmukh with Claude · auto-published from the local journal entry. A polished narrative version can be requested in any future Claude session.

Summary

Took delivery of the PageMotor 0.9.2b update folder (new core, two AI skill plugins, and Kenn's CC-to-CC build-safety brief) and rolled it out across the local PageMotor-Factory environment. All three local sites (guide, marula, v3demo) and the factory template were updated from core 0.9 to 0.9.2b, with timestamped core backups and a database dump per site taken first; the release proved to be code-only, so no database changes were needed and all three sites came up cleanly afterwards. The Design Conversion 1.4 and Plugin Creation 1.0 skill plugins were then activated on each site using admin tokens Hasmukh minted, and each site was connected to Claude Code as its own MCP server. The environment layout and the per-site finish procedure were saved to project memory. Catch-up note reconstructed on 12 June 2026 from the saved conversation.

Decisions

Roll the 0.9.2b update out to all three factory sites and the factory template, so newly minted sites also start on 0.9.2b.
Update by replacing only lib/ and pagemotor.php, leaving config.php, user-content/ and the skill files untouched (index.php and the skill packages were already identical to the distribution).
Claude declined to read existing API tokens from the site databases; instead Hasmukh minted a fresh admin-tier token per site through each admin screen and pasted them in.
Activate the skills through PageMotor's own activate-plugin action rather than writing to the database directly.

Changes made

Updated the PageMotor core from 0.9 to 0.9.2b on guide (port 8922), marula (8920), v3demo (8921) and the factory template; each swap verified byte-identical to the distribution, and all three sites confirmed loading normally afterwards.
Saved a backup of each old core plus a database dump per site in _core-backup-pre-092b-20260605-123159 folders (template core backed up too).
Activated both skill plugins (Design Conversion 1.4, Plugin Creation 1.0) on all three sites and confirmed each site now offers the two skills as prompts.
Connected all three sites to Claude Code as MCP servers pm-marula, pm-guide and pm-v3demo (user scope), each reporting Connected; the three admin tokens are stored in that configuration.
Walked Hasmukh through minting an admin token per site (Edit User, API Tokens, Create New Token, Admin tier, copy once).
Wrote project memory (memory/MEMORY.md and pagemotor-factory-sites.md) recording the factory layout, site ports and the update/activate/connect procedure, with no tokens stored.

Follow-ups

Restart Claude Code so the new pm-marula, pm-guide and pm-v3demo skill prompts appear inside a session (servers load at session start; the connections themselves are already verified).
Any new factory site will mint on 0.9.2b but still needs the two finishing steps per site: activate both skill plugins and connect its MCP with a freshly minted admin token.
