* 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)

Bugfix:
- Fixed duplicate observations and summaries appearing in viewer
- Root cause: handleSessionInit spawned SDK agent but didn't save promise to session.generatorPromise
- Second agent would spawn when handleObservations ran, causing duplicates
- Fix: Assign generatorPromise in handleSessionInit (matches handleSummarize pattern)
Technical changes:
- Modified src/services/worker-service.ts:265
- Now tracks promise to prevent duplicate agent spawning
- Guard condition in handleObservations (line 301) now works correctly

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.
