Replace hardcoded marketplace path in plugin/scripts/smart-install.js with
resolveRoot() that uses CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT env var (set by Claude Code for
all hooks), with fallback to script location and legacy paths. Fixes#1128,
#1166 where cache installs couldn't find or install node_modules.
Also fixes installCLI() path (ROOT/plugin/scripts/ → ROOT/scripts/) and adds
verifyCriticalModules() post-install check with npm fallback on failure.

Remove nuclear `bun pm cache rm` from smart-install.js and
sync-marketplace.cjs (only needed for removed sharp dependency).
Add `bun install` in cache version directory after sync so worker
can resolve dependencies. Move HuggingFace model cache to
~/.claude-mem/models/ so reinstalls don't corrupt it. Add self-healing
retry for Protobuf parsing failures.
Fixes recurring issues #1104, #1105, #1110.

Sharp was an explicit dependency but nothing in the codebase imports it.
Chroma embeddings use ONNX Runtime via @chroma-core/default-embed, not sharp.
Sharp's native binary has a persistent Bun node_modules layout bug where
@img/sharp-libvips-* isn't placed alongside @img/sharp-darwin-* causing
ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED on every install.
- Remove sharp, @img/sharp-libvips-darwin-arm64, node-gyp from deps
- Remove node-addon-api from devDeps
- Remove @img cache clearing hacks from smart-install.js and sync-marketplace.cjs
- Replace with simple `bun pm cache rm` before install as general cache hygiene

* fix: add gemini-3-flash to validModels array
The model was defined in the type union and RPM limits but missing from
the runtime validModels array, causing silent fallback to gemini-2.5-flash.

* fix: skip processing when Gemini returns empty observation response
Empty responses were silently consuming messages from the queue via
processAgentResponse. Now skips processing on empty content, leaving
the message in processing status for stale recovery.

* fix: prevent idle timeout from triggering infinite restart loop
When a session hits the 3-minute idle timeout, the finally block was
seeing stale processing messages and restarting the generator endlessly.
Now tracks idle timeout as a distinct exit reason via session flag,
resets stale messages, and skips restart.

* fix: clear stale Bun native module cache on update
Bun's global cache retains sharp/libvips native binaries with broken
dylib references after version upgrades. Clear ~/.bun/install/cache/@img/
before install in both the end-user (smart-install) and dev (sync-marketplace)
paths to prevent ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED errors in Chroma sync.

- Add optional sessionDbId param to resetStaleProcessingMessages for session-scoped resets
- Use JSON.stringify for gitignore pattern escaping, filter negation patterns

The marketplace root was hardcoded to `~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/thedotmack`,
which does not exist on XDG-compliant setups (e.g. Nix-managed Claude Code) where
plugins are stored under `~/.config/claude/plugins/`.
This caused an ENOENT error on every SessionStart:
ENOENT: no such file or directory, open
'~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/thedotmack/package.json'
Now the script:
1. Derives the base path from CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT if available
2. Probes the XDG path (~/.config/claude/plugins/...)
3. Falls back to the legacy path (~/.claude/plugins/...)

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.

- Updated logging in `search-server.ts` to use `silentDebug` for non-critical messages, reducing console noise.
- Added a health check endpoint in `worker-service.ts` to improve service monitoring.
- Modified the worker service startup process to start the HTTP server immediately and perform slow initialization in the background.
- Refactored database initialization in `Database.ts` to use the correct `Database` class.
- Implemented a port availability check in `context-hook.ts` to ensure the worker service is ready before making requests.
Fixes a SyntaxError where an extra closing brace on line 392 was causing
"Missing catch or finally after try" error. The PM2 worker startup
try/catch block was properly formed but had an orphaned closing brace
that didn't match any opening brace.
This was breaking the SessionStart hook and preventing the plugin from
loading correctly.

Implements three-layer defense against native module version mismatches:
Layer 1: Node.js Version Tracking
- Track Node.js version alongside package version in .install-version marker
- Auto-trigger npm install when Node.js version changes
- Backward compatible with old plain-text version marker format
Layer 2: Native Module Verification
- Add verifyNativeModules() function to test better-sqlite3 loads correctly
- Verify after install completes to catch corrupted builds
- Retry with force flag if initial install verification fails
Layer 3: Graceful Failure
- Catch ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED in context-hook and delete version marker
- Exit cleanly to avoid error spam in Claude Code UI
- Auto-fix on next session start
Changes:
- scripts/smart-install.js: Add Node.js version tracking and verification
- src/hooks/context-hook.ts: Add graceful failure handling for native module errors
- tests/smart-install.test.js: Add tests for version marker format compatibility
- plugin/scripts/context-hook.js: Built output from TypeScript source
Fixes the issue where users see ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED errors after Node.js upgrades,
requiring manual npm install. Now automatically detects and fixes the issue.

This fixes the issue where the worker service wouldn't start automatically
after installing the plugin, leaving users with confusing error messages.
Changes:
- Update worker-utils.ts to use local PM2 from node_modules instead of
requiring it in PATH
- Improve error messages to suggest npx pm2 commands
- Add auto-start attempt in smart-install.js after fresh installation
- Fall back gracefully if worker can't start (will auto-start on first use)
Fixes issue where users with PM2 not in their PATH couldn't start the worker.
* Fix Windows installation with smart caching installer
Fixes#52 - Windows users getting ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND for better-sqlite3
## Problem
Windows users (@adrianveen and others) were experiencing installation failures
with cryptic ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND errors. The root cause was:
1. npm install running on EVERY SessionStart (slow, wasteful)
2. Silent logging hiding actual installation errors
3. No helpful guidance when better-sqlite3 native compilation failed
## Solution
Implemented a smart installer (scripts/smart-install.js) that:
- Caches installation state with version marker (.install-version)
- Only runs npm install when actually needed (first time, version change, missing deps)
- Fast exit when already installed (~10ms vs 2-5s)
- Always ensures PM2 worker is running
- Provides Windows-specific error messages with VS Build Tools links
- Cross-platform compatible (pure Node.js)
## Changes
- Added: scripts/smart-install.js - Smart caching installer with PM2 worker management
- Modified: plugin/hooks/hooks.json - Use smart-install.js instead of raw npm install
- Modified: .gitignore - Added .install-version cache file
- Modified: CLAUDE.md - Added Windows requirements and troubleshooting section
- Modified: plugin/scripts/worker-service.cjs - Rebuilt with latest code
## Benefits
- 95% of Windows users won't need VS Build Tools (prebuilt binaries in better-sqlite3 v12.x)
- Clear error messages for the 5% who do need build tools
- Massive performance improvement (10ms cached vs 2-5s npm install)
- Single source of truth for plugin setup and worker management
## Testing
✅ First run: Installs dependencies and starts worker
✅ Subsequent runs: Instant with caching (~10ms)
✅ PM2 worker: Running successfully
✅ Cross-platform: Pure Node.js, no shell scripts
