* fix(openclaw): inject context via system prompt instead of overwriting MEMORY.md
The OpenClaw plugin was overwriting each agent's MEMORY.md with a large
auto-generated observation dump (~12-15KB) on every before_agent_start
and tool_result_persist event. This conflicts with OpenClaw's design
where MEMORY.md is agent-curated long-term memory.
Migrate context injection from file-based (writeFile MEMORY.md) to
OpenClaw's native before_prompt_build hook, which returns context via
appendSystemContext. This keeps MEMORY.md under agent control while
still providing cross-session observation context to the LLM.
Changes:
- Add before_prompt_build hook that returns { appendSystemContext }
- Remove writeFile/MEMORY.md sync from before_agent_start
- Remove MEMORY.md sync from tool_result_persist (observations still recorded)
- Add 60s TTL cache to avoid re-fetching context on every LLM turn
- Add syncMemoryFileExclude config for per-agent opt-out
- Remove dead workspaceDirsBySessionKey tracking map
- Rewrite test suite to verify prompt injection instead of file writes

* fix(ui): align settings defaults with backend and use nullish coalescing
The web UI had two issues causing settings inflation:
1. DEFAULT_SETTINGS in the UI used FULL_COUNT='5' and all token columns
'true', while SettingsDefaultsManager (backend) uses FULL_COUNT='0'
and token columns 'false'. Opening the settings modal and saving
without changes would silently inflate the context.
2. useSettings used || for fallback, which treats '0' and 'false' as
falsy — even when the backend correctly returns these values, the UI
would replace them with inflated defaults. Changed to ?? (nullish
coalescing) so only null/undefined trigger the fallback.

* docs(openclaw): update integration docs for system prompt injection
Reflect the migration from MEMORY.md file writes to before_prompt_build
hook-based context injection:
- Update architecture diagram and overview to show new hook flow
- Replace "MEMORY.md Live Sync" section with "System Prompt Context Injection"
- Update event lifecycle steps (before_agent_start, tool_result_persist)
- Add before_prompt_build step with TTL cache description
- Document new syncMemoryFileExclude config parameter
- Update session tracking to reflect removed workspaceDirsBySessionKey

* feat: add embedded Process Supervisor for unified process lifecycle management
Consolidates scattered process management (ProcessManager, GracefulShutdown,
HealthMonitor, ProcessRegistry) into a unified src/supervisor/ module.
New: ProcessRegistry with JSON persistence, env sanitizer (strips CLAUDECODE_*
vars), graceful shutdown cascade (SIGTERM → 5s wait → SIGKILL with tree-kill
on Windows), PID file liveness validation, and singleton Supervisor API.
Fixes#1352 (worker inherits CLAUDECODE env causing nested sessions)
Fixes#1356 (zombie TCP socket after Windows reboot)

* feat: add session-scoped process reaping to supervisor
Adds reapSession(sessionId) to ProcessRegistry for killing session-tagged
processes on session end. SessionManager.deleteSession() now triggers reaping.
Tightens orphan reaper interval from 60s to 30s.

* feat: add Unix domain socket support for worker communication
Introduces socket-manager.ts for UDS-based worker communication, eliminating
port 37777 collisions between concurrent sessions. Worker listens on
~/.claude-mem/sockets/worker.sock by default with TCP fallback.
All hook handlers, MCP server, health checks, and admin commands updated to
use socket-aware workerHttpRequest(). Backwards compatible — settings can
force TCP mode via CLAUDE_MEM_WORKER_TRANSPORT=tcp.
Fixes#1346 (port 37777 collision across concurrent sessions)

* fix: remove in-process worker fallback from hook command
Removes the fallback path where hook scripts started WorkerService in-process,
making the worker a grandchild of Claude Code (killed by sandbox). Hooks now
always delegate to ensureWorkerStarted() which spawns a fully detached daemon.

* feat: add health checker and /api/admin/doctor endpoint

* test: add comprehensive supervisor test suite
64 tests covering all supervisor modules: process registry (18 tests),
env sanitizer (8), shutdown cascade (10), socket manager (15), health
checker (5), and supervisor API (6). Includes persistence, isolation,
edge cases, and cross-module integration scenarios.

* fix: revert Unix domain socket transport, restore TCP on port 37777
The socket-manager introduced UDS as default transport, but this broke
the HTTP server's TCP accessibility (viewer UI, curl, external monitoring).
Since there's only ever one worker process handling all sessions, the
port collision rationale for UDS doesn't apply. Reverts to TCP-only,
removing ~900 lines of unnecessary complexity.

- Fix isPidAlive(0) returning true (should be false)
- Add shutdownInitiated flag to prevent signal handler race condition
- Make validateWorkerPidFile testable with pidFilePath option
- Remove unused dataDir from ShutdownCascadeOptions
- Upgrade reapSession log from debug to warn
- Rename zombiePidFiles to deadProcessPids (returns actual PIDs)
- Clean up gitignore: remove duplicate datasets/, stale ~*/ and http*/ patterns

* fix: always pass --ssl flag to chroma-mcp in remote mode
The chroma-mcp CLI defaults to SSL when using --client-type http.
When CLAUDE_MEM_CHROMA_SSL is false (the common case for local
ChromaDB servers), buildCommandArgs() omitted --ssl entirely,
causing chroma-mcp to attempt an SSL connection to a plain HTTP
server and fail with "Could not connect to a Chroma server".
Always pass --ssl with an explicit true/false value so the user's
CLAUDE_MEM_CHROMA_SSL setting is faithfully forwarded.

The pending-work-restart logic had no retry limit, causing infinite loops
when sessions encountered FOREIGN KEY constraint failures. This led to
2000+ error log entries per minute and eventual worker crash via SIGTERM.
Two fixes:
1. Add 'FOREIGN KEY constraint failed' to unrecoverable error patterns
so it short-circuits immediately instead of falling through to restart
2. Add MAX_PENDING_RESTARTS (3) limit to pending-work-restart path as a
safety net for any future unhandled persistent errors

The SessionStart hook was incorrectly split into two separate matchers
with the same pattern "startup|clear|compact", causing them to run
in parallel per Claude Code's hook execution model. This resulted in
a race condition where both hooks tried to bind to port 37777
simultaneously, causing "port in use" errors on first startup.
This fix consolidates all SessionStart commands into a single
matcher, ensuring they execute sequentially.
Fixes regression introduced in commit d93bde0.

storeObservations() and storeObservationsAndMarkComplete() were missing
the content-hash deduplication that storeObservation() (singular) already
had via computeObservationContentHash() and findDuplicateObservation().
This caused the Gemini provider (and potentially others that return
multiple observations per response) to insert 2-10x duplicate rows per
tool use, since the batch methods inserted unconditionally without
checking content_hash.
The fix adds the same dedup pattern from storeObservation() to both
batch methods:
1. Compute content hash via computeObservationContentHash()
2. Check for existing observation within 30s window via findDuplicateObservation()
3. Skip insert and reuse existing ID if duplicate found
4. Include content_hash column in INSERT statement
Fixes#1158 (duplicate observations with Gemini provider)
Co-authored-by: Enzo Ricciulli <e.ricciulli@systhema.ai>
When a claude-mem DB is synced between machines running different versions,
orphaned indexes can reference non-existent columns (e.g. idx_observations_content_hash
referencing content_hash). This causes SQLite to throw "malformed database schema"
on ALL queries, including PRAGMAs, creating a silent 503 failure loop.
The fix detects this on startup, uses Python's sqlite3 module to drop the
orphaned schema objects (bun:sqlite doesn't support writable_schema modifications),
resets migration versions, and lets the idempotent migration system recreate
everything properly.

When a project filter was selected in the Web UI, all SSE live data
(observations, summaries, prompts) was completely discarded. Only
paginated API data was shown, meaning new real-time events were
invisible until the user refreshed the page.
Fix: filter SSE data by project before merging with paginated data,
instead of discarding it entirely.

When Claude Code runs in a worktree (via Agent tool with isolation: "worktree"),
the transcript path points to the worktree's project directory. After the
worktree is cleaned up, the Stop hook fires but the transcript file no longer
exists, causing extractLastMessage() to throw. This error triggers Claude to
respond, which fires another Stop hook, creating an infinite error loop.
Changed throws to warn-and-return-empty so the summarize hook exits cleanly
with exit 0 instead of cascading errors.

* fix: remove unrecognized fields from Claude Code Stop hook output
Claude Code validates Stop hook JSON output against its hook contract
schema which only accepts {decision?, reason?, systemMessage?}. The
formatOutput() function was returning {continue, suppressOutput} which
are not part of the Claude Code hook API, causing "JSON validation
failed" errors on every session stop.
Return an empty object {} for the default case (no hookSpecificOutput),
preserving only systemMessage when present. This is valid for all hook
event types and eliminates the schema validation error.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: add unhappy-path tests for formatOutput per PR review
Add edge case coverage for malformed input (undefined/null), falsy
systemMessage values, non-contract field stripping, and contract key
allowlist. Also add defensive null guard to formatOutput matching
normalizeInput pattern.

proc.killed only means Node sent a signal — the process can still be alive.
This caused premature pool slot release, allowing unbounded process spawning.
- ensureProcessExit: remove proc.killed from early-exit checks, only trust exitCode
- Fix 3 call-site guards that skipped cleanup for signaled-but-alive processes
- Add TOTAL_PROCESS_HARD_CAP=10 safety net in waitForSlot()
- After SIGKILL, wait up to 1s via exit event instead of blind 200ms sleep
- Reduce reaper interval from 5min to 1min, idle threshold from 2min to 1min

The `session-complete` command in the Stop hook runs every turn,
killing the SDK agent via SIGTERM. This causes the next summarize
call to receive an empty response because the agent needs to restart.
By moving `session-complete` to SessionEnd (which only fires on
actual session termination), the SDK agent stays alive between turns
and summarize works reliably.

smart-install.js used stdio: 'inherit' for execSync calls, leaking
plain-text install output (bun/npm progress) to stdout. Claude Code
expects hook output to start with '{' (valid JSON), so this caused
a confusing "SessionStart:startup hook error" on every session start.
Changes:
- Pipe stdout on all execSync calls to prevent non-JSON stdout leak
- Output {"continue":true,"suppressOutput":true} on both success and
error paths so Claude Code always receives valid JSON
- Add tests verifying no stdio:'inherit' remains and JSON is output
Fixes#1253

When a search query includes dateStart/dateEnd parameters, the Chroma
semantic search path (PATH 2) ignored them entirely and only applied a
hardcoded 90-day recency window. This meant date-filtered searches
returned results from outside the requested range.
Now the Chroma path checks for a user-provided dateRange first. If
present, it filters results by the requested start/end bounds. The
90-day window is only used as the default when no date filter is
specified, preserving backward compatibility.

SettingsDefaultsManager.get() returned only the hardcoded default,
ignoring both environment variables and settings.json overrides. This
meant CLAUDE_MEM_DATA_DIR set via env or settings file had no effect
on paths.ts (and other callers using get()).
Two changes:
- get() now checks process.env before falling back to the default
- paths.ts resolves DATA_DIR with full priority: env var > settings.json
at the default location > hardcoded default
The settings file read uses a synchronous bootstrap pattern to avoid
circular dependencies (DATA_DIR is needed to locate the settings file,
so we check the default path only).

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
