* 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

* 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.

Implements three-layer defense against native module version mismatches:
Layer 1: Node.js Version Tracking
- Track Node.js version alongside package version in .install-version marker
- Auto-trigger npm install when Node.js version changes
- Backward compatible with old plain-text version marker format
Layer 2: Native Module Verification
- Add verifyNativeModules() function to test better-sqlite3 loads correctly
- Verify after install completes to catch corrupted builds
- Retry with force flag if initial install verification fails
Layer 3: Graceful Failure
- Catch ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED in context-hook and delete version marker
- Exit cleanly to avoid error spam in Claude Code UI
- Auto-fix on next session start
Changes:
- scripts/smart-install.js: Add Node.js version tracking and verification
- src/hooks/context-hook.ts: Add graceful failure handling for native module errors
- tests/smart-install.test.js: Add tests for version marker format compatibility
- plugin/scripts/context-hook.js: Built output from TypeScript source
Fixes the issue where users see ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED errors after Node.js upgrades,
requiring manual npm install. Now automatically detects and fixes the issue.

* feat: Restore community button and responsive mobile navigation
Restores the Discord community button and responsive layout features from commit f117051:
- Community button in header with Discord icon and link
- Responsive breakpoints: community button moves to sidebar at 600px
- Projects dropdown moves to sidebar at 480px
- Sidebar proper width constraints (100% width, 400px max-width)
- Icon links use CSS classes instead of inline styles
- Full-height layout styling for proper flex behavior
This brings back the mobile-first navigation reorganization that creates
a Discord-like mobile experience where the sidebar becomes the primary
navigation container on smaller screens.

The Sidebar component was trying to map over projects array but App.tsx
wasn't passing the projects, currentFilter, and onFilterChange props to
the Sidebar component. This caused a TypeError when the sidebar tried to
render the project filter dropdown.

**Problem:**
- Summaries created with empty project names even after database fix
- 13 summaries had empty project, couldn't appear in context-hook
- In-memory sessions cached stale empty project value
**Root Cause:**
SessionManager caches ActiveSession objects in memory. When reusing
an existing session, it never refreshed the project field from the
database. Even though createSDKSession() now updates the DB with the
correct project, the in-memory session.project remained empty, causing
summaries to be stored with empty project.
**Flow:**
1. Session created with empty project (cached in memory)
2. new-hook UPDATE fixes project in database
3. SessionManager reuses cached session (stale project="")
4. Summary stored with session.project (empty)
5. Context-hook can't find summary (WHERE project = 'claude-mem')
**Solution:**
When SessionManager.initializeSession() reuses an existing session,
refresh the project field from the database. This ensures summaries
and observations always use the latest project value.
**Impact:**
- Future summaries will have correct project name
- Backfilled 13 historical summaries with project='claude-mem'
- Context injection will now show recent summaries
- Both observations AND summaries fixed

**Problem:**
- Sessions created with empty project names couldn't be updated
- INSERT OR IGNORE skipped updates when session already existed
- Context-hook couldn't find observations (WHERE project = 'claude-mem')
- 364 observations had empty project names
**Root Cause:**
createSDKSession() used INSERT OR IGNORE for idempotency, but never
updated project/prompt fields when session already existed. If SAVE hook
created session first (with empty project), NEW hook couldn't fix it.
**Solution:**
When INSERT is ignored (session exists), UPDATE project and user_prompt
if we have non-empty values. This ensures project name gets set even
when session was created by SAVE hook or with incomplete data.
**Impact:**
- New sessions will always have correct project name
- Backfilled 364 historical observations with project='claude-mem'
- Context injection will now work (finds observations by project)
