* feat: Add dual-tag system for meta-observation control
Implements <private> and <claude-mem-context> tag stripping at hook layer
to give users fine-grained control over what gets persisted in observations
and enable future real-time context injection without recursive storage.
**Features:**
- stripMemoryTags() function in save-hook.ts
- Strips both <private> and <claude-mem-context> tags before sending to worker
- Always active (no configuration needed)
- Comprehensive test suite (19 tests, all passing)
- User documentation for <private> tag
- Technical architecture documentation
**Architecture:**
- Edge processing pattern (filter at hook, not worker)
- Defensive type handling with silentDebug
- Supports multiline, nested, and multiple tags
- Enables strategic orchestration for internal tools
**User-Facing:**
- <private> tag for manual privacy control (documented)
- Prevents sensitive data from persisting in observations
**Infrastructure:**
- <claude-mem-context> tag ready for real-time context feature
- Prevents recursive storage when context injection ships
**Files:**
- src/hooks/save-hook.ts: Core implementation
- tests/strip-memory-tags.test.ts: Test suite (19/19 passing)
- docs/public/usage/private-tags.mdx: User guide
- docs/public/docs.json: Navigation update
- docs/context/dual-tag-system-architecture.md: Technical docs
- plugin/scripts/save-hook.js: Built hook

* fix: Strip private tags from user prompts and skip memory ops for fully private prompts
Fixes critical privacy bug where <private> tags were not being stripped from
user prompts before storage in user_prompts table, making private content
searchable via mem-search.
Changes:
1. new-hook.ts: Skip memory operations for fully private prompts
- If cleaned prompt is empty after stripping tags, skip saveUserPrompt
- Skip worker init to avoid wasting resources on empty prompts
- Logs: "(fully private - skipped)"
2. save-hook.ts: Skip observations for fully private prompts
- Check if user prompt was entirely private before creating observations
- Respects user intent: fully private prompt = no observations at all
- Prevents "thoughts pop up" issue where private prompts create public observations
3. SessionStore.ts: Add getUserPrompt() method
- Retrieves prompt text by session_id and prompt_number
- Used by save-hook to check if prompt was private
4. Tests: Added 4 new tests for fully private prompt detection (16 total, all passing)
5. Docs: Updated private-tags.mdx to reflect correct behavior
- User prompts ARE now filtered before storage
- Private content never reaches database or search indices
Privacy Protection:
- Fully private prompts: No user_prompt saved, no worker init, no observations
- Partially private prompts: Tags stripped, content sanitized before storage
- Zero leaks: Private content never indexed or searchable
Addresses reviewer feedback on PR #153 about user prompt filtering.

* feat: Enhance memory tag handling and indexing in user prompts
- Added a new index `idx_user_prompts_lookup` on `user_prompts` for improved query performance based on `claude_session_id` and `prompt_number`.
- Refactored memory tag stripping functionality into dedicated utility functions: `stripMemoryTagsFromJson` and `stripMemoryTagsFromPrompt` for better separation of concerns and reusability.
- Updated hooks (`new-hook.ts` and `save-hook.ts`) to utilize the new tag stripping functions, ensuring private content is not stored or searchable.
- Removed redundant inline tag stripping functions from hooks to streamline code.
- Added tests for the new tag stripping utilities to ensure functionality and prevent regressions.

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.

* 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)
