Comprehensive analysis of the 3.5-hour JIT context filtering experiment.
Documents architectural learnings, implementation attempts, and why the
complex persistent-session approach was reverted in favor of a simpler
future implementation.
Key learnings:
- Hooks cannot run Agent SDK queries (no claudePath access)
- All AI processing must happen in worker service
- Dynamic timeline search is the right approach
- Infrastructure (SQLite FTS5 + Chroma) validated and ready
- Simple per-request approach should be tried before optimization
The vision is sound, execution was overcomplicated. This was productive
R&D that validated constraints and documented patterns for future work.
