* fix: add npm fallback when bun install fails with alias packages
Bun has issues resolving npm alias packages (e.g., string-width-cjs,
strip-ansi-cjs, wrap-ansi-cjs) that are defined in package-lock.json.
When bun fails with 404 errors for these packages, we now fall back
to npm which handles aliases correctly.
This fixes the installation failure that many users are experiencing
where bun install fails with:
error: GET https://registry.npmjs.org/string-width-cjs/-/string-width-cjs-4.2.3.tgz - 404
The fallback is transparent to users - they will see a warning message
and the installation will continue with npm.

Critical improvement for seamless upgrades across all versions.
Changes:
1. Added /api/version endpoint to worker service
- Returns current worker version from package.json
2. Added version checking in worker-utils.ts
- getPluginVersion() - reads plugin's package.json version
- getWorkerVersion() - fetches version from worker API
- ensureWorkerVersionMatches() - compares and restarts if needed
3. Modified ensureWorkerRunning()
- Now calls ensureWorkerVersionMatches() after health check
- Automatically restarts worker when version mismatch detected
- Logs version mismatch for debugging
Impact:
- Users no longer need to manually restart worker after upgrades
- Eliminates connection errors from running old worker code
- Critical for v7.1.1 (Bun auto-install) and all future releases
- Fixes the issue where PR #236 changes weren't applied until manual restart
Testing:
- Version endpoint working: returns {"version":"7.1.0"}
- Worker health check: passing
- Auto-restart logic: triggers on version mismatch

CRITICAL FIX: v7.1.0 Bun auto-install broken on Windows 11
Problem:
- hooks.json calls `bun smart-install.js` but if Bun isn't installed,
command fails immediately with "bun is not recognized"
- smart-install.js never runs, so Bun never gets installed
- Chicken-and-egg problem
Root Cause:
- v7.1.0 removed Bun/uv auto-installation logic from smart-install.js
- Assumed Bun would already be available
- Breaks fresh installations on all platforms
Solution:
1. Changed SessionStart hook to use `node` for smart-install.js
(Node.js always available in Claude Code)
2. Restored Bun auto-installation logic:
- isBunInstalled() - check if Bun is in PATH
- installBun() - auto-install via PowerShell (Windows) or curl (Unix/macOS)
- Also restored uv auto-installation for Chroma
After Fix:
- smart-install.js runs with node (always available)
- Detects if Bun is missing and auto-installs it
- Subsequent hooks use bun successfully
- Works on fresh Windows installations
Fixes: User report from Discord - Windows 11 'bun' is not recognized

Previously skipped Windows PM2 cleanup based on assumption that PM2
wasn't used on Windows. However, this left potential orphaned processes.
Changes:
- Remove platform check (process.platform !== 'win32')
- Run PM2 cleanup on Mac/Linux/Windows consistently
- Create .pm2-migrated marker on all platforms
- Update documentation to reflect cross-platform behavior
Rationale:
- Quality migration should clean up ALL orphaned processes
- Error handling (try/catch) already makes this safe
- Even if PM2 had Windows issues, cleanup won't hurt
- Consistent behavior across platforms is better UX
Impact:
- Windows users will get PM2 cleanup on first hook trigger
- Marker file now created on Windows (prevents repeated attempts)
- No breaking changes (errors caught and ignored)

* Fix critical session persistence bug in new-hook
Restores the second POST call to /sessions/:sessionDbId/init that was
incorrectly removed as "duplicate" in the hooks refactor.
The two POST calls serve different purposes:
- POST /api/sessions/init: Creates DB session, saves prompt (no SDK agent)
- POST /sessions/:sessionDbId/init: Starts the SDK agent session
Without the second call, the SDK agent never started, causing:
- First prompts saved to DB but never processed
- Subsequent prompts queued but no agent running to consume them
- Each new prompt creating orphaned sessions instead of continuing
This fix restores proper session continuation across multiple prompts.
Fixes conversation fragmentation reported in production.
* updated agent-sdk
* Skip meta-observations for session-memory file operations
Added a check to skip meta-observations when file operations (Edit, Write, Read, NotebookEdit) are performed on session-memory files. If the file path includes 'session-memory', a debug log is generated and the response indicates that the observation was skipped.
* refactor: Clean up hook-response and new-hook files

- Updated cleanup-hook.js to improve error handling and remove unnecessary input checks.
- Simplified user-message-hook.js by removing time-sensitive announcements and streamlining output.
- Enhanced logging functionality in both hooks for better debugging and clarity.
* Refactor error handling in hooks to use centralized error handler
- Introduced `handleWorkerError` function in `src/shared/hook-error-handler.ts` to manage worker-related errors.
- Updated `context-hook.ts`, `new-hook.ts`, `save-hook.ts`, and `summary-hook.ts` to utilize the new error handler, simplifying error management and improving code readability.
- Removed repetitive error handling logic from individual hooks, ensuring consistent user-friendly messages for connection issues.
* Refactor user-message and summary hooks to utilize shared transcript parser; introduce hook exit codes
- Moved user message extraction logic to a new shared module `transcript-parser.ts` for better code reuse.
- Updated `summary-hook.ts` to use the new `extractLastMessage` function for retrieving user and assistant messages.
- Replaced direct exit code usage in `user-message-hook.ts` with constants from `hook-constants.ts` for improved readability and maintainability.
- Added `HOOK_EXIT_CODES` to `hook-constants.ts` to standardize exit codes across hooks.
* Refactor hook input interfaces to enforce required fields
- Updated `SessionStartInput`, `UserPromptSubmitInput`, `PostToolUseInput`, and `StopInput` interfaces to require `session_id`, `transcript_path`, and `cwd` fields, ensuring better type safety and clarity in hook inputs.
- Removed optional index signatures from these interfaces to prevent unintended properties and improve code maintainability.
- Adjusted related hook implementations to align with the new interface definitions.
* Refactor save-hook to remove tool skipping logic; enhance summary-hook to handle spinner stopping with error logging; update SessionRoutes to load skip tools from settings; add CLAUDE_MEM_SKIP_TOOLS to SettingsDefaultsManager for configurable tool exclusion.

- Improved readability and maintainability of the code by restructuring and clarifying variable names.
**Problem:**
Worker service crashed on startup with:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'get')
at new Wd (.../worker-service.cjs:52:131469)
**Root Cause:**
Circular dependency between SettingsDefaultsManager and logger:
1. SettingsDefaultsManager imports logger
2. logger imports SettingsDefaultsManager
3. logger constructor calls SettingsDefaultsManager.get() at init time
4. When CommonJS resolves the cycle, SettingsDefaultsManager is undefined
**Solution:**
Break the circular dependency by making logger lazy-load its configuration:
- Change logger.level from initialized in constructor to lazy-loaded
- Add getLevel() method that loads on first access
- Update all level checks to use getLevel()
This allows SettingsDefaultsManager to import logger without triggering
the circular dependency, since logger no longer accesses SettingsDefaultsManager
during module initialization.

The bundled hook scripts use `external: ['better-sqlite3']` during esbuild,
meaning the dependency must be resolved at runtime. When hooks run from the
cache directory (~/.claude/plugins/cache/thedotmack/claude-mem/X.X.X/),
they couldn't find better-sqlite3 because:
1. Cache directory had no package.json
2. smart-install.js was hardcoded to install in marketplace directory only
This fix:
- Adds plugin/package.json declaring runtime dependencies (better-sqlite3)
- Updates build-hooks.js to auto-generate plugin/package.json from main package.json
- Updates smart-install.js to detect execution context (cache vs marketplace)
and install dependencies in the correct location
The script now detects if it's running from cache (via path pattern matching)
and installs dependencies there, where the hooks actually execute.

This PR addresses issue #193 affecting Windows installations of claude-mem.
## Bug 1: Missing ecosystem.config.cjs in packaged plugin
**Problem**: The ecosystem.config.cjs file was not included in the plugin
package, causing PM2 to fail when trying to start the worker from cache.
**Fix**: Added `plugin/ecosystem.config.cjs` with correct path for packaged
structure (`./scripts/worker-service.cjs` instead of `./plugin/scripts/`).
## Bug 2: Incorrect MCP Server Path (src/services/worker-service.ts)
**Problem**: Path `__dirname, '..', '..', 'plugin', 'scripts', 'mcp-server.cjs'`
only worked in dev structure, failed in packaged plugin.
**Error produced**:
```
Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\...\claude-mem\plugin\scripts\mcp-server.cjs'
[ERROR] [SYSTEM] Background initialization failed MCP error -32000: Connection closed
```
**Fix**: Changed to `path.join(__dirname, 'mcp-server.cjs')` since mcp-server.cjs
is in the same directory as worker-service.cjs after bundling.
## Bug 3: Missing smart-install.js in plugin package
**Problem**: smart-install.js was referenced in hooks.json but not included
in the plugin/ directory for cache deployment.
**Fix**: Added `plugin/scripts/smart-install.js` that uses `createRequire()`
to resolve modules from MARKETPLACE_ROOT.
## Bug 4: hooks.json incorrect path
**Problem**: Referenced `/../scripts/smart-install.js` but CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT
points to the plugin/ directory.
**Fix**: Changed to `/scripts/smart-install.js`.
## Bug 5: Windows Worker Startup - Visible Console Windows
**Problem**: PM2 ignores windowsHide option on Windows, opening visible
console windows when starting the worker service.
**Fix**: Use PowerShell `Start-Process -WindowStyle Hidden` on Windows while
keeping PM2 for Unix systems (src/shared/worker-utils.ts).
## Additional Improvements
- Increased worker startup timeouts for Windows (500ms health check, 1000ms
wait between retries, 15 retries = 15s total vs previous 5s)
- Added `windowsHide: true` to root ecosystem.config.cjs for PM2
## Note on Assertion Failure
The Windows libuv assertion failure `!(handle->flags & UV_HANDLE_CLOSING)`
at `src\win\async.c:76` is a known upstream issue in Claude Code (Issue #7579),
triggered by fetch() calls on Windows. This is NOT caused by worker spawning
and cannot be fixed in claude-mem.
Tested on Windows 11 with Node.js v24.
