Umut Polat 9dbf63f5d4 fix: prevent LLM from using <observation> tags in summary responses (#1345) 
The SDK agent's conversation history is heavily biased toward
<observation> output. By the time a summarize prompt arrives, the
in-context conditioning can cause the LLM to respond with <observation>
tags instead of the expected <summary> tags. parseSummary() then returns
null and the summary is silently lost.

Two changes:
- Add explicit mode-switch instructions at the top of the summary prompt
  telling the LLM not to use <observation> tags and that only <summary>
  output will be accepted
- Add a warning log in parseSummary() when <observation> tags are found
  in a response that has no <summary> block, making the issue visible
  in logs instead of silently discarding

Fixes #1312

Alex Newman ad8ac7970d fix: Chroma connection errors and remove dead last_user_message code (#525) 
* 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

Alex Newman 417acb0f81 fix: comprehensive error handling improvements and architecture documentation (#522) 
* 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.

Alex Newman 30b142d318 fix(session): Semantic renaming and memory session ID capture for resume 
This commit fixes the session ID confusion identified in PR #475:

PROBLEM:
- Using contentSessionId (user's Claude Code session) for SDK resume was wrong
- Memory agent conversation should persist across the entire user session
- Each SDK call was starting fresh, losing memory agent continuity

SOLUTION:
1. Semantic Renaming (clarity):
   - claudeSessionId → contentSessionId (user's observed session)
   - sdkSessionId → memorySessionId (memory agent's session for resume)
   - Database migration 17 renames columns accordingly

2. Memory Session ID Capture:
   - SDKAgent captures session_id from first SDK message
   - Persists to database via updateMemorySessionId()
   - SessionManager loads memorySessionId on session init

3. Resume Logic Fixed:
   - Only resume if memorySessionId captured from previous interaction
   - Enables memory agent continuity across user prompts

instead of being caught, wrapped, and re-thrown at intermediate layers.

Changes:
- Remove try/catch around fetch calls in all hooks - let errors throw
- Add try/catch ONLY around JSON.parse at entry points
- Delete error-handler.ts and hook-error-handler.ts (no longer needed)
- Update worker-utils.ts: functions now throw instead of returning null

* fix: Move summary prompts to mode files for multilingual support

Summary prompts were hardcoded in English in prompts.ts, breaking
multilingual support. Now properly mode-based:

- Added summary_instruction, summary_context_label,
  summary_format_instruction, summary_footer to code.json
- Updated buildSummaryPrompt() to use mode fields instead of hardcoded text
- Added summary_footer with language instructions to all 10 language modes
- Language modes keep English prompts + language requirement footer

This fixes the gaslighting where we claimed full multilingual support
but summaries were still generated in English.

Alex Newman ca24048e15 feat: Restore "WHEN TO SKIP" guidance to continuation prompt 
Restores observation skip guidance that was removed in commit 68290a9
for token reduction. The removal caused the observer agent to forget
skip criteria after the first prompt, leading to more verbose
observations of routine operations.

Changes:
- Added WHEN TO SKIP section back to buildContinuationPrompt
- Added condensed CRITICAL reminder about what to record
- Maintains token efficiency by using condensed guidance vs full examples

This balances token usage with observation quality by keeping the
essential skip criteria without the full WHAT TO RECORD examples.

Alex Newman 68290a9121 Performance improvements: Token reduction and enhanced summaries (#101) 
* refactor: Reduce continuation prompt token usage by 95 lines

Removed redundant instructions from continuation prompt that were originally
added to mitigate a session continuity issue. That issue has since been
resolved, making these detailed instructions unnecessary on every continuation.

Changes:
- Reduced continuation prompt from ~106 lines to ~11 lines (~95 line reduction)
- Changed "User's Goal:" to "Next Prompt in Session:" (more accurate framing)
- Removed redundant WHAT TO RECORD, WHEN TO SKIP, and OUTPUT FORMAT sections
- Kept concise reminder: "Continue generating observations and progress summaries..."
- Initial prompt still contains all detailed instructions

Impact:
- Significant token savings on every continuation prompt
- Faster context injection with no loss of functionality
- Instructions remain comprehensive in initial prompt

* 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

Alex Newman 2952b7fb8d feat: Add summary skip logic to prevent duplicate and trivial summaries 
Added "WHEN NOT TO SUMMARIZE" section to buildSummaryPrompt that instructs the SDK to skip creating summaries for:
- Work already covered in previous prompts (prevents duplicates)
- Conversational banter with no deliverables
- Trivial requests (questions, status checks)
- Meta-discussions about memory system without shipped changes

Implementation:
- src/sdk/prompts.ts: Added WHEN NOT TO SUMMARIZE section with <skip_summary> output format
- src/sdk/parser.ts: Added skip_summary detection before parsing full summary XML
- src/sdk/parser.ts: Fixed observation type validation to include all 6 types (bugfix, feature, refactor, change, discovery, decision)

This should eliminate the duplicate summaries like the three "restore 6 types" summaries we saw for session d9137878.
