* Enhance error logging in hooks
- Added detailed error logging in context-hook, new-hook, save-hook, and summary-hook to capture status, project, port, and relevant session information on failures.
- Improved error messages thrown in save-hook and summary-hook to include specific context about the failure.
* Refactor migration logging to use console.log instead of console.error
- Updated SessionSearch and SessionStore classes to replace console.error with console.log for migration-related messages.
- Added notes in the documentation to clarify the use of console.log for migration messages due to the unavailability of the structured logger during constructor execution.
* Refactor SDKAgent and silent-debug utility to simplify error handling
- Updated SDKAgent to use direct defaults instead of happy_path_error__with_fallback for non-critical fields such as last_user_message, last_assistant_message, title, filesRead, filesModified, concepts, and summary.request.
- Enhanced silent-debug documentation to clarify appropriate use cases for happy_path_error__with_fallback, emphasizing its role in handling unexpected null/undefined values while discouraging its use for nullable fields with valid defaults.
* fix: correct happy_path_error__with_fallback usage to prevent false errors
Fixes false "Missing cwd" and "Missing transcript_path" errors that were
flooding silent.log even when values were present.
Root cause: happy_path_error__with_fallback was being called unconditionally
instead of only when the value was actually missing.
Pattern changed from:
value: happy_path_error__with_fallback('Missing', {}, value || '')
To correct usage:
value: value || happy_path_error__with_fallback('Missing', {}, '')
Fixed in:
- src/hooks/save-hook.ts (PostToolUse hook)
- src/hooks/summary-hook.ts (Stop hook)
- src/services/worker/http/routes/SessionRoutes.ts (2 instances)
Impact: Eliminates false error noise, making actual errors visible.
Addresses issue #260 - users were seeing "Missing cwd" errors despite
Claude Code correctly passing all required fields.

- Updated build-hooks.js to remove better-sqlite3 dependency and use bun:sqlite.
- Modified smart-install.js to eliminate checks and installations related to better-sqlite3.
- Refactored Database.ts, SessionSearch.ts, SessionStore.ts, and migrations.ts to import and utilize bun:sqlite.

- Removed unnecessary native module verification and installation logic for better-sqlite3.
Addressed all 6 bugs identified in code reviews:
CRITICAL FIXES:
1. SessionStore.ts: Fixed concepts filter bug - removed empty params.push()
that was breaking SQL parameter alignment (line 849)
2. import-memories.ts: Removed worker_port and prompt_counter fields from
sdk_sessions insert to fix schema mismatch with fresh databases
3. export-memories.ts: Fixed hardcoded port - now reads from settings via
SettingsDefaultsManager.loadFromFile()
HIGH PRIORITY:
4. export-memories.ts: Added database existence check with clear error
message before opening database connection
5. export-memories.ts: Fixed variable shadowing - renamed local 'query'
variable to 'sessionQuery' (line 90)
MEDIUM PRIORITY:
6. export-memories.ts: Improved type safety - added ObservationRecord,
SdkSessionRecord, SessionSummaryRecord, UserPromptRecord interfaces
All fixes tested and verified:
- Export script successfully exports with project filtering
- Import script works on existing database with duplicate prevention
- Port configuration read from settings.json
- Type safety improvements prevent compile-time errors

- Removed repetitive error handling logic from individual hooks, ensuring consistent user-friendly messages for connection issues.
* Refactor user-message and summary hooks to utilize shared transcript parser; introduce hook exit codes
- Moved user message extraction logic to a new shared module `transcript-parser.ts` for better code reuse.
- Updated `summary-hook.ts` to use the new `extractLastMessage` function for retrieving user and assistant messages.
- Replaced direct exit code usage in `user-message-hook.ts` with constants from `hook-constants.ts` for improved readability and maintainability.
- Added `HOOK_EXIT_CODES` to `hook-constants.ts` to standardize exit codes across hooks.
* Refactor hook input interfaces to enforce required fields
- Updated `SessionStartInput`, `UserPromptSubmitInput`, `PostToolUseInput`, and `StopInput` interfaces to require `session_id`, `transcript_path`, and `cwd` fields, ensuring better type safety and clarity in hook inputs.
- Removed optional index signatures from these interfaces to prevent unintended properties and improve code maintainability.
- Adjusted related hook implementations to align with the new interface definitions.
* Refactor save-hook to remove tool skipping logic; enhance summary-hook to handle spinner stopping with error logging; update SessionRoutes to load skip tools from settings; add CLAUDE_MEM_SKIP_TOOLS to SettingsDefaultsManager for configurable tool exclusion.
* Document CLAUDE_MEM_SKIP_TOOLS setting in public docs
Added documentation for the new CLAUDE_MEM_SKIP_TOOLS configuration
setting in response to PR review feedback. Users can now discover and
customize which tools are excluded from observations.

**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.

Extracted SQL query from handleSessionInit route handler into SessionStore.getLatestUserPrompt()
method to fix abstraction leak and improve type safety.
Changes:
- Added getLatestUserPrompt() method to SessionStore with proper return type
- Replaced raw SQL query in SessionRoutes with type-safe method call
- Removed direct database access through dbManager.getSessionStore().db
- Improved separation of concerns (data layer vs HTTP layer)
Benefits:
- Type safety: Explicit return type instead of 'as any' cast
- Maintainability: SQL query logic belongs in data layer
- Testability: Can test query logic independently from HTTP layer
- Consistency: Follows existing pattern of query methods in SessionStore
Phase 3 Complete: SQL abstraction leak fixed in session init endpoint.

- New HTTP layer with dedicated route handlers:
- SessionRoutes: Session lifecycle operations
- DataRoutes: Data retrieval endpoints
- SearchRoutes: Search/MCP proxy operations
- SettingsRoutes: Settings and configuration
- ViewerRoutes: Health, UI, and SSE streaming
- Added comprehensive README documenting worker architecture
- Improved build script to handle worker service compilation
