Critical bugfix release.
Problem:
- NOT NULL constraint violations prevented all observations/summaries from being stored
- Worker service could not store any data in database
- System was completely non-functional for new sessions
Root Cause:
- SessionStore.getSessionById() missing claude_session_id in SELECT query
- Worker received undefined for claude_session_id
- Caused database INSERT failures
Fix:
- Added claude_session_id to getSessionById SQL query
- Updated return type to include claude_session_id field
- Session ID now flows correctly: hook → database → worker → SDK
Impact:
- All observation and summary storage now works correctly
- System maintains session consistency throughout lifecycle
- Critical for proper functioning of memory compression
Version Changes:
- package.json: 4.2.7 → 4.2.8
- marketplace.json: 4.2.6 → 4.2.8
- CLAUDE.md: Updated version and added v4.2.8 changelog
Files Changed:
- package.json (version bump)
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json (version bump)
- CLAUDE.md (version and changelog)
- src/services/sqlite/SessionStore.ts (bugfix)
- plugin/scripts/* (rebuilt with fix)

Critical Bugfix:
- Fixed overly defensive observation validation blocking observations from being saved
- Parser now NEVER skips observations - always saves them
- Invalid or missing type defaults to "change" (generic catch-all type)
- Removed validation requiring title, subtitle, and narrative fields
- Prevents critical data loss - partial observations better than no observations
Impact:
- Before: Missing title, subtitle, OR narrative caused entire observation to be discarded
- After: ALL observations preserved regardless of field completeness
- Even partial observations contain valuable data: concepts, files_read, files_modified, facts
- LLMs make mistakes - system must be resilient and save everything
- Consistent with v4.2.5 summary fix
Technical changes:
- Updated src/sdk/parser.ts:52-67 to never skip observations
- Uses "change" as fallback type for invalid/missing types (no schema change)
- Updated ParsedObservation interface to allow null for title, subtitle, narrative
- Updated SessionStore.storeObservation signature to accept nullable fields
- Updated built worker-service.cjs
- Bumped version to 4.2.6 in all metadata files

Critical Bugfix:
- Fixed overly defensive summary validation blocking summaries from being saved
- Removed validation that returned null when any required fields were missing
- Summaries now always saved when <summary> tags present, even if incomplete
- Prevents critical data loss - partial summaries better than no summaries
Impact:
- Before: Missing single field caused entire summary to be discarded
- After: All summaries preserved, maintaining session context when incomplete
- Ensures continuity of memory compression system
Technical changes:
- Updated src/sdk/parser.ts:137-147 to remove blocking validation
- Parser returns ParsedSummary with whatever fields are available
- Updated built worker-service.cjs
- Bumped version to 4.2.5 in all metadata files

Restored full type system: bugfix, feature, refactor, change, discovery, decision.
This enables more precise search queries like "show all bugfixes in auth" vs generic "show all changes".
Also updated README to reflect current behavior (10 summaries with three-tier verbosity).
Changes:
- prompts.ts: Expanded type field from 3 to 6 types with clear definitions
- CLAUDE.md: Fixed context hook description (3 → 10 summaries)

- Added functionality to automatically create a session record in the database if it does not exist when storing observations or session summaries.
- Updated `storeObservation` and `storeSummary` methods to include checks for existing session records and insert new records as needed.
- Added logging for auto-created session records for better traceability.
