Fixes:

Critical bugfix release.
Problem:
- NOT NULL constraint violations prevented all observations/summaries from being stored
- Worker service could not store any data in database
- System was completely non-functional for new sessions
Root Cause:
- SessionStore.getSessionById() missing claude_session_id in SELECT query
- Worker received undefined for claude_session_id
- Caused database INSERT failures
Fix:
- Added claude_session_id to getSessionById SQL query
- Updated return type to include claude_session_id field
- Session ID now flows correctly: hook → database → worker → SDK
Impact:
- All observation and summary storage now works correctly
- System maintains session consistency throughout lifecycle
- Critical for proper functioning of memory compression
Version Changes:
- package.json: 4.2.7 → 4.2.8
- marketplace.json: 4.2.6 → 4.2.8
- CLAUDE.md: Updated version and added v4.2.8 changelog
Files Changed:
- package.json (version bump)
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json (version bump)
- CLAUDE.md (version and changelog)
- src/services/sqlite/SessionStore.ts (bugfix)
- plugin/scripts/* (rebuilt with fix)

Critical Bugfix:
- Fixed overly defensive observation validation blocking observations from being saved
- Parser now NEVER skips observations - always saves them
- Invalid or missing type defaults to "change" (generic catch-all type)
- Removed validation requiring title, subtitle, and narrative fields
- Prevents critical data loss - partial observations better than no observations
Impact:
- Before: Missing title, subtitle, OR narrative caused entire observation to be discarded
- After: ALL observations preserved regardless of field completeness
- Even partial observations contain valuable data: concepts, files_read, files_modified, facts
- LLMs make mistakes - system must be resilient and save everything
- Consistent with v4.2.5 summary fix
Technical changes:
- Updated src/sdk/parser.ts:52-67 to never skip observations
- Uses "change" as fallback type for invalid/missing types (no schema change)
- Updated ParsedObservation interface to allow null for title, subtitle, narrative
- Updated SessionStore.storeObservation signature to accept nullable fields
- Updated built worker-service.cjs
- Bumped version to 4.2.6 in all metadata files

- Prevents critical data loss - partial summaries better than no summaries
Impact:
- Before: Missing single field caused entire summary to be discarded

Patch release confirming the effectiveness of prompt engineering changes that prevent meta-referential observations.
Key Improvements (from v4.2.0 prompt work):
- Observations now focus on deliverables shipped, not memory system operations
- Clear distinction between "what was built" vs "what the memory tool processed"
- Contrastive examples prevent pollution like "Processed tool executions"
- Smart handling of edge cases when working ON the memory system itself
Evidence:
Recent context shows progression from meta-referential garbage (10/21 10:48 PM) to excellent deliverable-focused observations (10/21 11:46 PM).
No code changes in this release - just version bump to mark the successful prompt improvements as stable.

### Changed
- Graceful session cleanup: Cleanup hook now marks sessions as completed instead of sending DELETE requests to worker
- Natural worker shutdown: Workers now finish pending operations (like summary generation) before terminating
- Restored MCP search server: Re-enabled full-text search capabilities from backup
### Fixed
- Session summaries no longer interrupted by aggressive cleanup during session end
- Workers can now complete final operations before shutdown
### Dependencies
- Updated @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk to ^0.1.23
- Added @modelcontextprotocol/sdk ^1.20.1
- Added zod-to-json-schema ^3.24.6

Changed all hook entry points to use dynamic imports after bootstrap runs. This ensures that better-sqlite3 is installed before Node.js attempts to resolve the import.
Changes:
- Modified src/bin/hooks/*.ts to call ensureDependencies() before dynamic import
- Moved from static `import { hook } from '...'` to `const { hook } = await import('...')`
- This delays module resolution until after npm install completes
- Bumped version to 4.0.6
The previous approach failed because static imports are resolved at module link time, before any runtime code (including ensureDependencies) executes.

Fixed better-sqlite3 distribution by implementing self-bootstrapping hooks
that auto-install dependencies on first run. This eliminates the need for
users to have native compilation tools or manually install dependencies.
## Solution
Instead of bundling 25MB of better-sqlite3 binaries in git or requiring
manual npm install, hooks now bootstrap themselves on first execution:
1. Created `src/shared/bootstrap.ts` with `ensureDependencies()` function
2. Added bootstrap calls to all hook entry points (context, new, save, summary, cleanup)
3. Created `plugin/scripts/package.json` declaring better-sqlite3 dependency
4. Bootstrap checks if `node_modules` exists, runs `npm install` if missing
5. npm automatically downloads prebuilt better-sqlite3 binary for user's platform
## Changes
**Core Bootstrap System:**
- Added src/shared/bootstrap.ts: Auto-install dependencies using npm
- Modified all hooks (context, new, save, summary, cleanup) to call ensureDependencies()
- Created plugin/scripts/package.json with better-sqlite3 dependency
**Build & Distribution:**
- Removed node_modules copying logic from build script
- Build output is now compact (hooks + package.json, no binaries)
- Updated marketplace.json to point to GitHub for direct installation
**Documentation:**
- Updated README: GitHub Marketplace installation is now recommended method
- Installation instructions emphasize no compilation needed
- Version bumped to 4.0.5 throughout
## Benefits
- ✅ No git bloat (repo stays small, no 25MB binaries committed)
- ✅ No compilation needed (npm downloads prebuilt binaries)
- ✅ Works on all platforms (npm handles platform-specific binaries)
- ✅ Zero manual steps (hooks bootstrap themselves automatically)
- ✅ Idempotent (skips install if dependencies already exist)
Installation now works via simple:
```
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem
/plugin install claude-mem
```

Reverted from GitHub-hosted marketplace to local marketplace file installation method. This allows us to resolve issues with better-sqlite3 native module builds before enabling GitHub marketplace distribution.
Changes:
- Simplified .claude-plugin/marketplace.json (removed metadata, version fields)
- Updated README installation instructions to use local .claude-plugin/marketplace.json
- Bumped version to 4.0.4
Installation now requires cloning the repo and using:
/plugin marketplace add .claude-plugin/marketplace.json
Will restore GitHub marketplace method once native module issues are resolved.
