Fixes#371, #369
**Issue #371: MCP server fails when Bun not in PATH**
- Changed MCP server shebang from `#!/usr/bin/env bun` to `#!/usr/bin/env node`
- MCP server now works regardless of whether Bun is in PATH
- Worker service correctly uses getBunPath() to find Bun in common install locations
**Issue #369: Web UI returns ENOENT error**
- Fixed hardcoded 'plugin/' path in ViewerRoutes
- Now checks both cache structure (ui/viewer.html) and marketplace structure (plugin/ui/viewer.html)
- Web UI now works from both ~/.claude/plugins/cache and ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces
**Technical Details:**
- Updated build-hooks.js to use Node shebang for MCP server (line 169)
- Enhanced ViewerRoutes.handleViewerUI() to try multiple path patterns
- Added existsSync check to find viewer.html in either location

* chore: bump version to 7.3.6 in package.json
* Enhance worker readiness checks and MCP connection handling
- Updated health check endpoint to /api/readiness for better initialization tracking.
- Increased timeout for health checks and worker startup retries, especially for Windows.
- Added initialization flags to track MCP readiness and overall worker initialization status.
- Implemented a timeout guard for MCP connection to prevent hanging.
- Adjusted logging to reflect readiness state and errors more accurately.
* fix(windows): use Bun PATH detection in worker wrapper
Phase 2/8: Fix Bun PATH Detection in Worker Wrapper
- Import getBunPath() in worker-wrapper.ts for Bun detection
- Add Bun path resolution before spawning inner worker process
- Update spawn call to use detected Bun path instead of process.execPath
- Add logging to bun-path.ts when PATH detection succeeds
- Add logging when fallback paths are used
- Add Windows-specific validation for .exe extension
- Log warning with searched paths when Bun not found
- Fail fast with clear error message if Bun cannot be detected
This ensures worker-wrapper uses the correct Bun executable on Windows
even when Bun is not in PATH, fixing issue #371 where users reported
"Bun not in PATH" errors despite Bun being installed.

* security: add PID validation and improve ChromaSync timeout handling
Address critical security and reliability issues identified in PR review:
**Security Fixes:**
- Add PID validation before all PowerShell/taskkill command execution
- Validate PIDs are positive integers to prevent command injection
- Apply validation in worker-wrapper.ts, worker-service.ts, and ChromaSync.ts
**Reliability Improvements:**
- Add timeout handling to ChromaSync client.close() (10s timeout)
- Add timeout handling to ChromaSync transport.close() (5s timeout)
- Implement force-kill fallback when ChromaSync close operations timeout
- Prevents hanging on shutdown and ensures subprocess cleanup
**Implementation Details:**
- PID validation checks: Number.isInteger(pid) && pid > 0
- Applied before all execSync taskkill calls on Windows
- Applied in process enumeration (Get-CimInstance) PowerShell commands
- ChromaSync.close() uses Promise.race for timeout enforcement
- Graceful degradation with force-kill fallback on timeout

On Windows, Bun doesn't properly release socket handles when the worker
process exits, causing "zombie ports" that remain bound even after all
processes are dead. This required a system reboot to clear.
Solution: Introduce a wrapper process (worker-wrapper.cjs) that:
- Spawns the actual worker as a child with IPC channel
- On restart/shutdown, uses `taskkill /T /F` to kill the entire process tree
- Exits itself, allowing hooks to start fresh
The wrapper has no sockets, so Bun's socket cleanup bug doesn't affect it.
When the wrapper kills the inner worker tree and exits, the port is properly
released and can be immediately reused.
Key changes:
- New worker-wrapper.ts for Windows process lifecycle management
- ProcessManager starts wrapper on Windows, worker directly on Unix
- Worker sends IPC messages to wrapper for restart/shutdown
- Health endpoint now includes debug info (build ID, managed status, hasIpc)
Tested: Restart API now properly releases port and new worker binds to same port.

* fix: shorten MCP server name to prevent tool name length errors (#358)
Root cause: Claude Code prefixes MCP tool names with
`mcp__plugin_{plugin-name}_{server-name}__` which was 43 chars
for `mcp__plugin_claude-mem_claude-mem-search__`. Combined with
`progressive_description` (22 chars) this exceeded the 64 char limit.
Changes:
- Shortened MCP server name from 'claude-mem-search' to 'mem-search'

- Renamed `progressive_description` tool to `help` (saves 18 chars)
- Updated SKILL.md to reference new `help` tool name

Adds proper PowerShell escaping to prevent theoretical command injection
in Start-Process arguments on Windows.

- Not user input - derived from system paths and installation directories
- If attacker could modify these, they already have filesystem access
- This includes direct access to ~/.claude-mem/claude-mem.db

- Included an additional instruction to restart Claude Code after running the worker restart command.
Removes bun-wrapper indirection. Hooks are compiled JavaScript that work perfectly with Node. Worker still uses Bun where performance matters. Fixes#264
- Updated multiple hooks (context-hook, new-hook, save-hook, summary-hook, user-message-hook) to throw errors using `getWorkerRestartInstructions` for improved user guidance on worker connection issues.
- Enhanced `handleWorkerError` function to utilize the new error message generator for consistent error reporting.

On Windows systems, `localhost` resolves to IPv6 (::1) while the worker

**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.
