Alex Newman 2b223b7cd9 feat: Add dual-tag system for meta-observation control (#153)
* 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.

Alex Newman c0778bef00 docs: Align search documentation with hybrid ChromaDB architecture (#116)
* feat: Add discovery_tokens for ROI tracking in observations and session summaries

- Introduced `discovery_tokens` column in `observations` and `session_summaries` tables to track token costs associated with discovering and creating each observation and summary.
- Updated relevant services and hooks to calculate and display ROI metrics based on discovery tokens.
- Enhanced context economics reporting to include savings from reusing previous observations.
- Implemented migration to ensure the new column is added to existing tables.
- Adjusted data models and sync processes to accommodate the new `discovery_tokens` field.

* refactor: streamline context hook by removing unused functions and updating terminology

- Removed the estimateTokens and getObservations helper functions as they were not utilized.
- Updated the legend and output messages to replace "discovery" with "work" for clarity.
- Changed the emoji representation for different observation types to better reflect their purpose.
- Enhanced output formatting for improved readability and understanding of token usage.

* Refactor user-message-hook and context-hook for improved clarity and functionality

- Updated user-message-hook.js to enhance error messaging and improve variable naming for clarity.
- Modified context-hook.ts to include a new column key section, improved context index instructions, and added emoji icons for observation types.
- Adjusted footer messages in context-hook.ts to emphasize token savings and access to past research.
- Changed user-message-hook.ts to update the feedback and support message for clarity.

* fix: Critical ROI tracking fixes from PR review

Addresses critical findings from PR #111 review:

1. **Fixed incorrect discovery token calculation** (src/services/worker/SDKAgent.ts)
   - Changed from passing cumulative total to per-response delta
   - Now correctly tracks token cost for each observation/summary
   - Captures token state before/after response processing
   - Prevents all observations getting inflated cumulative values

2. **Fixed schema version mismatch** (src/services/sqlite/SessionStore.ts)
   - Changed ensureDiscoveryTokensColumn() from version 11 to version 7
   - Now matches migration007 definition in migrations.ts
   - Ensures consistent version tracking across migration system

These fixes ensure ROI metrics accurately reflect token costs.

* fix: Update search documentation to reflect hybrid ChromaDB architecture

The backend correctly implements ChromaDB-first semantic search with SQLite
temporal ordering and FTS5 fallback, but documentation incorrectly described
it as "FTS5 full-text search". This fix aligns all skill guides and tool
descriptions with the actual implementation.

Changes:
- Update SKILL.md to describe hybrid architecture with ChromaDB primary
- Update observations.md title and query parameter descriptions
- Update all three search tool descriptions in search-server.ts:
  * search_observations
  * search_sessions
  * search_user_prompts

All tools now correctly document:
- ChromaDB semantic search (primary ranking)
- 90-day recency filter
- SQLite temporal ordering
- FTS5 fallback (when ChromaDB unavailable)

Alex Newman 68290a9121 Performance improvements: Token reduction and enhanced summaries (#101)
* 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)
