Addressed all 6 bugs identified in code reviews:
CRITICAL FIXES:
1. SessionStore.ts: Fixed concepts filter bug - removed empty params.push()
that was breaking SQL parameter alignment (line 849)
2. import-memories.ts: Removed worker_port and prompt_counter fields from
sdk_sessions insert to fix schema mismatch with fresh databases
3. export-memories.ts: Fixed hardcoded port - now reads from settings via
SettingsDefaultsManager.loadFromFile()
HIGH PRIORITY:
4. export-memories.ts: Added database existence check with clear error
message before opening database connection
5. export-memories.ts: Fixed variable shadowing - renamed local 'query'
variable to 'sessionQuery' (line 90)
MEDIUM PRIORITY:
6. export-memories.ts: Improved type safety - added ObservationRecord,
SdkSessionRecord, SessionSummaryRecord, UserPromptRecord interfaces
All fixes tested and verified:
- Export script successfully exports with project filtering
- Import script works on existing database with duplicate prevention
- Port configuration read from settings.json
- Type safety improvements prevent compile-time errors

Two critical fixes for the memory export/import feature:
1. **SearchManager empty results bug**: The /api/search endpoint
with format=json now returns {observations: [], sessions: [],
prompts: []} when no results are found, instead of the MCP
protocol format. This fixes the export-memories script which
expects consistent JSON structure regardless of result count.
2. **Project filtering support**: Updated SessionStore methods
(getObservationsByIds, getSessionSummariesByIds, getUserPromptsByIds)
to accept and apply project filter parameter. This enables
proper project-based filtering during ChromaDB hybrid search
result hydration.
Testing:
- Export with results: ✅ 50 observations exported
- Export with empty results: ✅ Proper JSON structure
- Round-trip import: ✅ Duplicate prevention working
- Project filtering: ✅ claude-mem (51 obs) vs rad-mem (1 obs)
Fixes export/import feature blocking bugs.
All search route handlers were returning only result.content (array) instead
of the complete result object containing {content, isError}. This caused the
MCP server to receive an invalid response format, resulting in all search
tools hanging indefinitely.
Changes:
- Updated 14 route handlers to return full result object
- Ensures MCP protocol compatibility by providing expected response structure
Fixes search functionality for all claude-mem search tools including:
- Unified search, timeline, decisions, changes
- Observations, sessions, prompts search
- Concept, file, type filtering
- Recent context and timeline queries
* Fix critical session persistence bug in new-hook
Restores the second POST call to /sessions/:sessionDbId/init that was
incorrectly removed as "duplicate" in the hooks refactor.
The two POST calls serve different purposes:
- POST /api/sessions/init: Creates DB session, saves prompt (no SDK agent)
- POST /sessions/:sessionDbId/init: Starts the SDK agent session
Without the second call, the SDK agent never started, causing:
- First prompts saved to DB but never processed
- Subsequent prompts queued but no agent running to consume them
- Each new prompt creating orphaned sessions instead of continuing
This fix restores proper session continuation across multiple prompts.
Fixes conversation fragmentation reported in production.
* updated agent-sdk
* Skip meta-observations for session-memory file operations
Added a check to skip meta-observations when file operations (Edit, Write, Read, NotebookEdit) are performed on session-memory files. If the file path includes 'session-memory', a debug log is generated and the response indicates that the observation was skipped.
* Initial plan
* Update all references from claude-opus-4 to claude-opus-4-5

* Use shorthand model names (haiku, sonnet, opus) throughout codebase
Updated model references to use shorthand names that automatically forward to latest versions:
- UI components (Sidebar, ContextSettingsModal)
- Documentation (configuration.mdx, worker-service.mdx)
- Build artifacts (viewer-bundle.js)
Shorthand names provide forward compatibility without requiring version-specific updates.

**Problem:**
Worker service crashed on startup with:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'get')
at new Wd (.../worker-service.cjs:52:131469)
**Root Cause:**
Circular dependency between SettingsDefaultsManager and logger:
1. SettingsDefaultsManager imports logger
2. logger imports SettingsDefaultsManager
3. logger constructor calls SettingsDefaultsManager.get() at init time
4. When CommonJS resolves the cycle, SettingsDefaultsManager is undefined
**Solution:**
Break the circular dependency by making logger lazy-load its configuration:
- Change logger.level from initialized in constructor to lazy-loaded
- Add getLevel() method that loads on first access
- Update all level checks to use getLevel()
This allows SettingsDefaultsManager to import logger without triggering
the circular dependency, since logger no longer accesses SettingsDefaultsManager
during module initialization.

Comprehensive Windows bug fixes release. Thanks to @kat-bell for the
excellent contributions fixing Windows plugin installation and worker
startup issues.
The bundled hook scripts use `external: ['better-sqlite3']` during esbuild,
meaning the dependency must be resolved at runtime. When hooks run from the
cache directory (~/.claude/plugins/cache/thedotmack/claude-mem/X.X.X/),
they couldn't find better-sqlite3 because:
1. Cache directory had no package.json
2. smart-install.js was hardcoded to install in marketplace directory only
This fix:
- Adds plugin/package.json declaring runtime dependencies (better-sqlite3)
- Updates build-hooks.js to auto-generate plugin/package.json from main package.json
- Updates smart-install.js to detect execution context (cache vs marketplace)
and install dependencies in the correct location
The script now detects if it's running from cache (via path pattern matching)
and installs dependencies there, where the hooks actually execute.

This PR addresses issue #193 affecting Windows installations of claude-mem.
## Bug 1: Missing ecosystem.config.cjs in packaged plugin
**Problem**: The ecosystem.config.cjs file was not included in the plugin
package, causing PM2 to fail when trying to start the worker from cache.
**Fix**: Added `plugin/ecosystem.config.cjs` with correct path for packaged
structure (`./scripts/worker-service.cjs` instead of `./plugin/scripts/`).
## Bug 2: Incorrect MCP Server Path (src/services/worker-service.ts)
**Problem**: Path `__dirname, '..', '..', 'plugin', 'scripts', 'mcp-server.cjs'`
only worked in dev structure, failed in packaged plugin.
**Error produced**:
```
Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\...\claude-mem\plugin\scripts\mcp-server.cjs'
[ERROR] [SYSTEM] Background initialization failed MCP error -32000: Connection closed
```
**Fix**: Changed to `path.join(__dirname, 'mcp-server.cjs')` since mcp-server.cjs
is in the same directory as worker-service.cjs after bundling.
## Bug 3: Missing smart-install.js in plugin package
**Problem**: smart-install.js was referenced in hooks.json but not included
in the plugin/ directory for cache deployment.
**Fix**: Added `plugin/scripts/smart-install.js` that uses `createRequire()`
to resolve modules from MARKETPLACE_ROOT.
## Bug 4: hooks.json incorrect path
**Problem**: Referenced `/../scripts/smart-install.js` but CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT
points to the plugin/ directory.
**Fix**: Changed to `/scripts/smart-install.js`.
## Bug 5: Windows Worker Startup - Visible Console Windows
**Problem**: PM2 ignores windowsHide option on Windows, opening visible
console windows when starting the worker service.
**Fix**: Use PowerShell `Start-Process -WindowStyle Hidden` on Windows while
keeping PM2 for Unix systems (src/shared/worker-utils.ts).
## Additional Improvements
- Increased worker startup timeouts for Windows (500ms health check, 1000ms
wait between retries, 15 retries = 15s total vs previous 5s)
- Added `windowsHide: true` to root ecosystem.config.cjs for PM2
## Note on Assertion Failure
The Windows libuv assertion failure `!(handle->flags & UV_HANDLE_CLOSING)`
at `src\win\async.c:76` is a known upstream issue in Claude Code (Issue #7579),
triggered by fetch() calls on Windows. This is NOT caused by worker spawning
and cannot be fixed in claude-mem.
Tested on Windows 11 with Node.js v24.
