* fix: distinguish connection errors from collection-not-found in ChromaSync
Previously, ensureCollection() caught ALL errors from chroma_get_collection_info
and assumed they meant "collection doesn't exist". This caused connection errors
like "Not connected" to trigger unnecessary collection creation attempts.
Now connection-related errors are re-thrown immediately instead of being
misinterpreted as missing collections.

* fix: improve error handling for Chroma connection and collection creation
* fix: remove dead last_user_message from summarize flow
The last_user_message field was extracted from transcripts but never used.
In Claude Code transcripts, "user" type messages are mostly tool_results,
not actual user input. The user's original request is already stored in
user_prompts table.
This removes the false warning "Missing last_user_message when queueing
summary" which was complaining about missing data that didn't exist and
wasn't needed.
Changes:
- summary-hook: Only extract last_assistant_message
- SessionRoutes: Remove last_user_message from request body handling
- SessionManager.queueSummarize: Remove lastUserMessage parameter
- PendingMessage interface: Remove last_user_message field
- SDKSession interface: Remove last_user_message field
- All agents: Remove last_user_message from buildSummaryPrompt calls

* Add enforceable anti-pattern detection for try-catch abuse
PROBLEM:
- Overly-broad try-catch blocks waste 10+ hours of debugging time
- Empty catch blocks silently swallow errors
- AI assistants use try-catch to paper over uncertainty instead of doing research
SOLUTION:
1. Created detect-error-handling-antipatterns.ts test
- Detects empty catch blocks (45 CRITICAL found)
- Detects catch without logging (45 CRITICAL total)
- Detects large try blocks (>10 lines)
- Detects generic catch without type checking
- Detects catch-and-continue on critical paths
- Exit code 1 if critical issues found
2. Updated CLAUDE.md with MANDATORY ERROR HANDLING RULES
- 5-question pre-flight checklist before any try-catch
- FORBIDDEN patterns with examples
- ALLOWED patterns with examples
- Meta-rule: UNCERTAINTY TRIGGERS RESEARCH, NOT TRY-CATCH
- Critical path protection list
3. Created comprehensive try-catch audit report
- Documents all 96 try-catch blocks in worker service
- Identifies critical issue at worker-service.ts:748-750
- Categorizes patterns and provides recommendations
This is enforceable via test, not just instructions that can be ignored.
Current state: 163 anti-patterns detected (45 critical, 47 high, 71 medium)
Next: Fix critical issues identified by test

* fix: add logging to promise catches on critical paths (Wave 2)
Wave 2 of error handling cleanup - fixing empty promise catch handlers
that silently swallow errors on critical code paths. These are the
patterns that caused the 10-hour debugging session.
Fixed empty promise catches:
- worker-service.ts:642 - Background initialization failures
- SDKAgent.ts:372,446 - Session processor errors
- GeminiAgent.ts:408,475 - Finalization failures
- OpenRouterAgent.ts:451,518 - Finalization failures
- SessionManager.ts:289 - Generator promise failures
Added justification comments to catch-and-continue blocks:
- worker-service.ts:68 - PID file removal (cleanup, non-critical)
- worker-service.ts:130 - Cursor context update (non-critical)
All promise rejection handlers now log errors with context, preventing
silent failures that were nearly impossible to debug.
Note: The anti-pattern detector only tracks try-catch blocks, not
standalone promise chains. These fixes address the root cause of the
original 10-hour debugging session even though the detector count
remains unchanged.

* fix: add logging and documentation to error handling patterns (Wave 3)
Wave 3 of error handling cleanup - comprehensive review and fixes for
remaining critical issues identified by the anti-pattern detector.
Changes organized by severity:
**Wave 3.1: Fixed 2 EMPTY_CATCH blocks**
- worker-service.ts:162 - Health check polling now logs failures
- worker-service.ts:610 - Process cleanup logs failures
**Wave 3.2: Reviewed 12 CATCH_AND_CONTINUE patterns**
- Verified all are correct (log errors AND exit/return HTTP errors)
- Added justification comment to session recovery (line 829)
- All patterns properly notify callers of failures
**Wave 3.3: Fixed 29 NO_LOGGING_IN_CATCH issues**
Added logging to 16 catch blocks:
- UI layer: useSettings.ts, useContextPreview.ts (console logging)
- Servers: mcp-server.ts health checks and tool execution
- Worker: version fetch, cleanup, config corruption
- Routes: error handler, session recovery, settings validation
- Services: branch checkout, timeline queries
Documented 13 intentional exceptions with comments explaining why:
- Hot paths (port checks, process checks in tight loops)
- Error accumulation (transcript parser collects for batch retrieval)
- Special cases (logger can't log its own failures)
- Fallback parsing (JSON parse in optional data structures)
All changes follow error handling guidelines from CLAUDE.md:
- Appropriate log levels (error/warn/debug)
- Context objects with relevant details
- Descriptive messages explaining failures
- Error extraction pattern for Error instances
Progress: 41 → 29 detector warnings
Remaining warnings are conservative flags on verified-correct patterns
(catch-and-continue blocks that properly log + notify callers).
Build verified successful. All error handling now provides visibility
for debugging while avoiding excessive logging on hot paths.

* feat: add queue:clear command to remove failed messages
Added functionality to clear failed messages from the observation queue:
**Changes:**
- PendingMessageStore: Added clearFailed() method to delete failed messages
- DataRoutes: Added DELETE /api/pending-queue/failed endpoint
- CLI: Created scripts/clear-failed-queue.ts for interactive queue clearing
- package.json: Added npm run queue:clear script
**Usage:**
npm run queue:clear # Interactive - prompts for confirmation
npm run queue:clear -- --force # Non-interactive - clears without prompt
Failed messages are observations that exceeded max retry count. They
remain in the queue for debugging but won't be processed. This command
removes them to clean up the queue.
Works alongside existing queue:check and queue:process commands to
provide complete queue management capabilities.

- DataRoutes: Added DELETE /api/pending-queue/all endpoint
- clear-failed-queue.ts: Added --all flag to clear everything

**Usage:**
npm run queue:clear # Clear failed only (interactive)
npm run queue:clear -- --all # Clear ALL messages (interactive)
npm run queue:clear -- --all --force # Clear all without confirmation
The --all flag provides a complete queue reset, removing pending,

- PendingMessageStore.cleanupProcessed() changed from time-based to count-based retention
- Keeps most recent 100 processed messages for UI display

Removed the process.type = 'renderer' workaround that was causing libuv
assertion failures on Windows. This hack was attempting to hide console
windows but resulted in crashes when process.title was accessed.
Prioritizing stability over cosmetics - console windows may briefly appear
on Windows until the MCP SDK provides proper window hiding support.
