# Phase 4: Distribution Verification Report

**Phase Goal:** The tool is installable from the cplugs marketplace with zero manual configuration
**Verified:** 2026-04-12T22:00:00Z
**Status:** human_needed
**Re-verification:** No -- initial verification

## Goal Achievement

### Observable Truths

| # | Truth | Status | Evidence |
|---|-------|--------|----------|
| 1 | Project has .claude-plugin/plugin.json with correct metadata and mcpServers | VERIFIED | File exists with name=screen-timelapse, mcpServers.screen-timelapse.command=node, args=dist/index.js |
| 2 | Project has .mcp.json for secondary MCP discovery | VERIFIED | File exists with screen-timelapse entry pointing to node dist/index.js |
| 3 | tsup produces ESM output in dist/index.js with external dependencies | VERIFIED | npm run build succeeds (44ms), dist/index.js is 27.14 KB ESM, sharp/node-screenshots are external imports |
| 4 | npm run build succeeds and dist/index.js is loadable by node | VERIFIED | Build exits 0, node --check dist/index.js passes |
| 5 | Plugin directory exists at cplugs marketplace path with all required files | VERIFIED | ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/cplugs/plugins/screen-timelapse/ contains .claude-plugin/plugin.json, .mcp.json, dist/index.js, package.json, node_modules/ |
| 6 | marketplace.json lists screen-timelapse for discovery | VERIFIED | plugins array contains entry with name=screen-timelapse, source=./plugins/screen-timelapse; existing spt entry preserved |
| 7 | MCP server starts successfully from the marketplace plugin directory | VERIFIED | Server starts and exits cleanly from marketplace directory (exit code 0) |
| 8 | Plugin installs via /plugin install and MCP server auto-registers | NEEDS HUMAN | Not in installed_plugins.json; summary acknowledged auto-approved checkpoint |

**Score:** 7/8 truths verified

### Roadmap Success Criteria Mapping

| # | Roadmap SC | Status | Evidence |
|---|-----------|--------|----------|
| SC-1 | Tool is packaged as a valid cplugs marketplace plugin at the expected directory | VERIFIED | Truths 1, 2, 5 confirm plugin structure at correct path |
| SC-2 | Plugin installs via /plugin install screen-timelapse@cplugs without errors | NEEDS HUMAN | Plugin files are in place but actual /plugin install has not been run |
| SC-3 | After installation, MCP server is automatically registered and ready to use without manual config | NEEDS HUMAN | mcpServers field is correct in plugin.json; actual auto-registration untested |

### Required Artifacts

| Artifact | Expected | Status | Details |
|----------|----------|--------|---------|
| `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` | Plugin manifest with mcpServers registration | VERIFIED | Valid JSON, contains screen-timelapse mcpServers entry |
| `.mcp.json` | MCP server config for standard discovery | VERIFIED | Valid JSON, screen-timelapse -> node dist/index.js |
| `tsup.config.ts` | Build config for ESM output with externals | VERIFIED | format=['esm'], target=node20, 5 external deps |
| `dist/index.js` | Built entry point (gitignored, produced by build) | VERIFIED | 27.14 KB, ESM format, valid syntax |
| `~/.claude/.../screen-timelapse/.claude-plugin/plugin.json` | Plugin manifest in marketplace | VERIFIED | Matches repo copy |
| `~/.claude/.../screen-timelapse/dist/index.js` | Built MCP server in marketplace | VERIFIED | ESM with external imports for sharp, node-screenshots |
| `~/.claude/.../cplugs/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` | Marketplace registry | VERIFIED | Contains screen-timelapse entry with source=./plugins/screen-timelapse |

### Key Link Verification

| From | To | Via | Status | Details |
|------|----|-----|--------|---------|
| .claude-plugin/plugin.json | dist/index.js | mcpServers.screen-timelapse.args | WIRED | args contains "dist/index.js" |
| package.json | dist/index.js | bin entry | WIRED | bin.screen-timelapse-mcp = ./dist/index.js |
| marketplace.json | plugins/screen-timelapse/ | source field | WIRED | source = "./plugins/screen-timelapse", directory exists |
| marketplace plugin.json | marketplace dist/index.js | mcpServers args | WIRED | args contains "dist/index.js", file exists |

### Data-Flow Trace (Level 4)

Not applicable -- distribution artifacts are config/manifest files, not data-rendering components.

### Behavioral Spot-Checks

| Behavior | Command | Result | Status |
|----------|---------|--------|--------|
| npm run build produces dist/index.js | npm run build | Build success in 44ms, 9 output files | PASS |
| dist/index.js is valid ESM | node --check dist/index.js | Exit 0 | PASS |
| MCP server starts from marketplace dir | timeout 3 node dist/index.js (in marketplace) | Exit 0, no crash | PASS |
| marketplace.json has screen-timelapse | grep screen-timelapse marketplace.json | Found in plugins array | PASS |
| Native deps present in marketplace | test -d node_modules/sharp && test -d node_modules/node-screenshots | Both exist | PASS |

### Requirements Coverage

| Requirement | Source Plan | Description | Status | Evidence |
|-------------|-----------|-------------|--------|----------|
| DIST-01 | 04-01, 04-02 | Tool is packaged as a cplugs marketplace plugin | SATISFIED | .claude-plugin/plugin.json exists in repo and marketplace directory with correct structure |
| DIST-02 | 04-02 | Plugin installs via /plugin install screen-timelapse@cplugs | NEEDS HUMAN | All files in place; actual install command untested |
| DIST-03 | 04-01, 04-02 | Plugin includes MCP server configuration for automatic registration | SATISFIED | mcpServers field in plugin.json with correct command/args; MCP server starts from marketplace |

### Anti-Patterns Found

| File | Line | Pattern | Severity | Impact |
|------|------|---------|----------|--------|
| (none) | - | - | - | No anti-patterns detected in distribution artifacts |

### Human Verification Required

### 1. Plugin Installation via /plugin install

**Test:** In a Claude Code session, run `/plugin install screen-timelapse@cplugs`
**Expected:** Plugin installs without errors or additional prompts. Output confirms installation.
**Why human:** The /plugin install command is a Claude Code CLI interactive feature that requires a live Claude Code session.

### 2. MCP Server Auto-Registration After Install

**Test:** After installation, check that the screen-timelapse MCP server appears in available MCP servers. Try invoking `list_windows` or another screen-timelapse tool.
**Expected:** The screen-timelapse server is discoverable and tools execute without manual configuration.
**Why human:** MCP server auto-registration after plugin install happens within the Claude Code runtime and cannot be verified via filesystem checks alone.

### Gaps Summary

No code-level gaps were found. All artifacts exist, are substantive, and are properly wired. The build succeeds, the marketplace directory is populated with all required files and production dependencies, and marketplace.json is correctly updated.

The only remaining verification is human testing of the `/plugin install screen-timelapse@cplugs` flow and confirming MCP server auto-registration -- these are the core promise of the phase goal ("installable from the cplugs marketplace with zero manual configuration") and cannot be verified programmatically.
