- Removed try-catch blocks in new-hook, save-hook, and summary-hook for cleaner flow.
- Enhanced error handling in save and summary hooks to throw errors instead of logging and returning.
- Introduced ensureWorkerRunning utility to manage worker service lifecycle and health checks.
- Replaced dynamic port allocation with a fixed port for the worker service.
- Simplified path management and removed unused port allocator utility.
- Added database schema initialization for fresh installations and improved migration handling.
The context hook was not appearing in Claude Code sessions because it was
outputting plain text to stdout instead of using the required JSON structure
for SessionStart hooks.
Changes:
- src/hooks/context.ts: Changed contextHook to return string instead of void,
removing direct console.log calls to make it more reusable
- src/bin/hooks/context-hook.ts: Wrap contextHook output in hookSpecificOutput
JSON structure with hookEventName "SessionStart" and additionalContext field
- Both TTY and stdin code paths now properly format and exit with code 0
Fixes the issue where recent session context was not being injected at session
start. Tested with npm run test:context - hook now properly outputs JSON with
recent sessions formatted as markdown.

- Added search functionality for observations and sessions using full-text search.
- Implemented formatting functions for search results with citations.
- Created multiple tools for searching by various criteria including concept, file, type, and advanced search.
- Integrated structured filters and pagination options for search queries.
- Established error handling for search operations and server initialization.
All 4 hook entry point scripts were missing process.exit(0) after successful
execution, causing Node processes to hang indefinitely instead of returning
control to Claude Code with exit code 0.
Root cause: In commit 6f62a56, process.exit(0) calls were removed from the
hook functions but were never added to the entry point scripts that wrap them.
Fixed files:
- src/bin/hooks/save-hook.ts (PostToolUse)
- src/bin/hooks/new-hook.ts (UserPromptSubmit)
- src/bin/hooks/summary-hook.ts (Stop)
- src/bin/hooks/context-hook.ts (SessionStart)
This restores proper hook exit behavior and prevents Claude Code from waiting
indefinitely for hook completion.
