Added three new HTTP endpoints: - GET /api/observation/:id - GET /api/session/:id - GET /api/prompt/:id 2. Completely rewrote SKILL.md: - Stripped complexity down to essentials - Clear 3-step prescriptive workflow: Search → Review IDs → Fetch by ID - Emphasized ID usage: "The IDs are there for a reason - USE THEM" - Removed confusing multi-endpoint documentation - Kept only unified search with filters **Impact:** - Token efficiency: Claude can now fetch full details only for relevant IDs - Clarity: One clear workflow instead of 10+ options to choose from - Usability: IDs are no longer wasted context - they're actionable 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: Move internal docs to private directory Moved POSTMORTEM and planning docs to ./private to exclude from PR reviews. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor: Remove experimental contextualize endpoint - Removed contextualize MCP tool from search-server (saves ~4KB) - Disabled FTS5 fallback paths in SessionSearch (now vector-first) - Cleaned up CLAUDE.md documentation - Removed contextualize-rewrite-plan.md doc Rationale: - Contextualize is better suited as a skill (LLM-powered) than an endpoint - Search API already provides vector search with configurable limits - Created issue #132 to track future contextualize skill implementation Changes: - src/servers/search-server.ts: Removed contextualize tool definition - src/services/sqlite/SessionSearch.ts: Disabled FTS5 fallback, added deprecation warnings - CLAUDE.md: Cleaned up outdated skill documentation - docs/: Removed contextualize plan document 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor: Complete FTS5 cleanup - remove all deprecated search code This completes the FTS5 cleanup work by removing all commented-out FTS5 search code while preserving database tables for backward compatibility.

Fix GitHub issues #76, #74, #75 + session lifecycle improvements (#77)
* Refactor context-hook: Fix anti-patterns and improve maintainability This refactor addresses all anti-patterns documented in CLAUDE.md, improving code quality without changing behavior. **Dead Code Removed:** - Eliminated unused useIndexView parameter throughout - Cleaned up entry point logic **Magic Numbers → Named Constants:** - CHARS_PER_TOKEN_ESTIMATE = 4 (token estimation) - SUMMARY_LOOKAHEAD = 1 (explains +1 in query) - Added clarifying comment for DISPLAY_SESSION_COUNT **Code Duplication Eliminated:** - Reduced 34 lines to 4 lines with renderSummaryField() helper - Replaced 4 identical summary field rendering blocks **Error Handling Added:** - parseJsonArray() now catches JSON.parse exceptions - Prevents session crashes from malformed data **Type Safety Improved:** - Added SessionSummary interface (replaced inline type cast) - Added SummaryTimelineItem for timeline items - Proper Map typing: Map<string, TimelineItem[]> **Variable Naming Clarity:** - summariesWithOffset → summariesForTimeline - isMostRecent → shouldShowLink (explains purpose) - dayTimelines → itemsByDay - nextSummary → olderSummary (correct chronology) **Better Documentation:** - Explained confusing timeline offset logic - Removed apologetic comments, added clarifying ones **Impact:** - 28 lines saved from duplication elimination - Zero behavioral changes (output identical) - Improved maintainability and type safety 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Fix context-hook to respect settings.json contextDepth The context-hook was ignoring the user's contextDepth setting from the web UI (stored in ~/.claude-mem/settings.json) and always using the default of 50 observations. **Problem:** - Web UI sets contextDepth in ~/.claude-mem/settings.json - Context-hook only read from process.env.CLAUDE_MEM_CONTEXT_OBSERVATIONS - User's preference of 7 observations was ignored, always showing 50 **Solution:** - Added getContextDepth() function following same pattern as getWorkerPort() - Priority: settings.json > env var > default (50) - Validates contextDepth is a positive number **Testing:** - Verified with contextDepth: 7 → shows 7 observations ✓ - Verified with contextDepth: 3 → shows 3 observations ✓ - Settings properly respected on every session start **Files Changed:** - src/hooks/context-hook.ts: Added getContextDepth() + imports - plugin/scripts/context-hook.js: Built output 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * Fix context-hook to read from correct settings file location **Critical Bug Fix:** Previous commit read from completely wrong location with wrong field name. **What was wrong:** -
