* 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
Files modified:
- src/sdk/prompts.ts (buildContinuationPrompt function)
- plugin/scripts/worker-service.cjs (compiled output)

* feat: Add transcript processing scripts for analysis and formatting
- Implemented `dump-transcript-readable.ts` to generate a readable markdown dump of transcripts, excluding certain entry types.
- Created `extract-rich-context-examples.ts` to extract and showcase rich context examples from transcripts, highlighting user requests and assistant reasoning.
- Developed `format-transcript-context.ts` to format transcript context into a structured markdown format for improved observation generation.
- Added `test-transcript-parser.ts` for validating data extraction from transcript JSONL files, including statistics and error reporting.
- Introduced `transcript-to-markdown.ts` for a complete representation of transcript data in markdown format, showing all context data.
- Enhanced type definitions in `transcript.ts` to support new features and ensure type safety.
- Built `transcript-parser.ts` to handle parsing of transcript JSONL files, including error handling and data extraction methods.
* Refactor hooks and SDKAgent for improved observation handling
- Updated `new-hook.ts` to clean user prompts by stripping leading slashes for better semantic clarity.
- Enhanced `save-hook.ts` to include additional tools in the SKIP_TOOLS set, preventing unnecessary observations from certain command invocations.
- Modified `prompts.ts` to change the structure of observation prompts, emphasizing the observational role and providing a detailed XML output format for observations.
- Adjusted `SDKAgent.ts` to enforce stricter tool usage restrictions, ensuring the memory agent operates solely as an observer without any tool access.
* feat: Enhance session initialization to accept user prompts and prompt numbers
- Updated `handleSessionInit` in `worker-service.ts` to extract `userPrompt` and `promptNumber` from the request body and pass them to `initializeSession`.
- Modified `initializeSession` in `SessionManager.ts` to handle optional `currentUserPrompt` and `promptNumber` parameters.
- Added logic to update the existing session's `userPrompt` and `lastPromptNumber` if a `currentUserPrompt` is provided.
- Implemented debug logging for session initialization and updates to track user prompts and prompt numbers.
