+# Plan: Endless Mode Re-implementation on Current Main
+
+## Context
+
+Endless mode was implemented on `beta/endless-mode` branch (diverged at v7.0.0). Main is now at v10.4.1 — **902 commits ahead**. Rebasing is impractical. This plan re-implements endless mode on top of current main, using the old branch as a reference for concepts only.
+
+### What Endless Mode Does
+
+When enabled, after each tool execution:
+1. The PostToolUse hook waits for the SDK agent to process the observation
+2. The processed observation (title, narrative, facts) is injected back into Claude's context via `additionalContext`
+3. Large tool inputs are cleared from the transcript to save tokens
+4. Net effect: Claude sees compressed observations instead of raw tool data → extends effective context window
+
+### Key Problem from Previous Attempt
+
+The save-hook blocked for 60-90s waiting for SDK processing, making sessions unusably slow. The fundamental tension: AI-processed observations require time, but hooks have a 120s hard limit.
+
+### Branch Strategy
+
+Create a new branch `feature/endless-mode-v2` from current main. Do NOT touch the old `beta/endless-mode` branch.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 0: Documentation Discovery (Reference Gathering)
+
+### 0.1 — Read old branch implementation for reference patterns
+- `git show beta/endless-mode:src/hooks/save-hook.ts` — synchronous wait pattern
+- `git show beta/endless-mode:src/hooks/context-injection.ts` — observation formatting
+- `git show beta/endless-mode:src/hooks/pre-tool-use-hook.ts` — tool_use_id tracking
+- `git show beta/endless-mode:src/services/worker/SessionManager.ts` — `waitForNextObservation()`
+- `git show beta/endless-mode:docs/context/state-of-endless.md` — architecture doc
+
+### 0.2 — Read current main integration points
+- `src/hooks/hook-response.ts:1-15` — current hook response format
+- `src/services/worker/SessionManager.ts:21-100` — current session management
+- `src/services/worker/SDKAgent.ts:43-150` — current SDK agent flow, event emission
+- `src/services/worker/http/routes/SessionRoutes.ts:498-573` — current observation endpoint
+- `src/services/sqlite/SessionStore.ts:1503-1560` — current storeObservation
+- `src/shared/SettingsDefaultsManager.ts:77-133` — current settings defaults
+
+### 0.3 — Identify Claude Code hook contract
+- `plugin/plugin.json` — current hook configuration (which hooks exist, their types)
+- Check if `PreToolUse` hook type is available in Claude Code plugin spec
+- Check `additionalContext` field availability in hook response contract
+
+### Deliverable
+List of exact APIs, file locations, and patterns available for each integration point. Anti-pattern list of methods that existed on the old branch but don't exist on current main.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Database Schema — Add `tool_use_id` Column
+
+### What to implement
+- Add migration 20 to `src/services/sqlite/SessionStore.ts` (after migration 19 at ~line 53)
+- Add nullable `tool_use_id TEXT` column to observations table
+- Add index: `CREATE INDEX idx_observations_tool_use_id ON observations(tool_use_id)`
+- Add `getObservationsByToolUseId(toolUseId: string)` method to SessionStore
+- Update `storeObservation()` signature to accept optional `tool_use_id?: string`
+
+### Files to modify
+- `src/services/sqlite/SessionStore.ts` — migration + store method
+- `src/services/sqlite/observations/types.ts` — add tool_use_id to StoreObservationResult
+- `src/types/transcript.ts` — verify ToolResultContent.tool_use_id matches Claude's format
+
+### Verification
+- `npm run build` succeeds
+- Worker starts without errors
+- New column appears in observations table: `sqlite3 ~/.claude-mem/claude-mem.db ".schema observations"`
+
+### Anti-patterns
+- Do NOT make tool_use_id NOT NULL — old observations won't have it
+- Do NOT modify existing migrations — only append new ones
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Settings — Add Endless Mode Configuration
+
+### What to implement
+- Add to `SettingsDefaultsManager.ts` DEFAULTS (~line 77):
+  - `CLAUDE_MEM_ENDLESS_MODE`: `'false'` (disabled by default)
+  - `CLAUDE_MEM_ENDLESS_WAIT_TIMEOUT_MS`: `'90000'` (90 second timeout)
+- Add helper method `isEndlessModeEnabled(): boolean`
+
+### Files to modify
+- `src/shared/SettingsDefaultsManager.ts`
+
+### Verification
+- Settings load correctly with defaults
+- Can override via `~/.claude-mem/settings.json`
+- Can override via environment variable
+
+### Anti-patterns
+- Do NOT add UI for toggling yet — settings.json is sufficient for beta
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Worker-Side — Event-Based Observation Completion Signaling
+
+### What to implement
+- In `SessionManager.ts`: Add `waitForNextObservation(sessionDbId, toolUseId, timeoutMs)` method
+  - Uses existing `sessionQueues` EventEmitter infrastructure
+  - Waits for `observation_saved` event matching toolUseId
+  - Returns the observation or null on timeout
+- In `SDKAgent.ts`: After `storeObservation()` call, emit `observation_saved` event with observation data and toolUseId
+- In `SessionRoutes.ts`:
+  - Accept `tool_use_id` in observation POST body
+  - Accept `wait_until_observation_is_saved=true` query parameter
+  - When waiting: call `SessionManager.waitForNextObservation()` before responding
+  - When not waiting (default): existing fire-and-forget behavior
+
+### Files to modify
+- `src/services/worker/SessionManager.ts`
+- `src/services/worker/SDKAgent.ts`
+- `src/services/worker/http/routes/SessionRoutes.ts`
+
+### Verification
+- Worker builds and starts
+- Default (non-endless) observation flow is unaffected
+- Can POST with `wait_until_observation_is_saved=true` and get observation back in response
+
+### Anti-patterns
+- Do NOT add SSE/streaming — simple HTTP request/response with await is sufficient
+- Do NOT modify the existing fire-and-forget path — only add the new waiting path
+- Do NOT add a pre-tool-use endpoint yet — tool_use_id comes from the hook, not a separate call
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Hook-Side — PostToolUse Synchronous Injection
+
+### What to implement
+- Modify the PostToolUse hook (save-hook) to:
+  1. Check if endless mode is enabled via settings
+  2. Extract `tool_use_id` from the hook input (Claude Code provides this)
+  3. If endless mode ON: POST observation with `wait_until_observation_is_saved=true` and `tool_use_id`
+  4. Receive processed observation in HTTP response
+  5. Format observation as markdown (copy pattern from old `context-injection.ts`)
+  6. Return hook response with `additionalContext` field containing formatted observation
+  7. If endless mode OFF: existing fire-and-forget behavior (unchanged)
+- Create `src/hooks/observation-formatter.ts` utility for markdown formatting
+
+### Files to modify
+- `src/hooks/save-hook.ts` (or whatever the current PostToolUse hook source is)
+- `src/hooks/observation-formatter.ts` (NEW)
+- `src/hooks/hook-response.ts` — add `additionalContext` support to response type
+
+### Verification
+- With endless mode OFF: behavior identical to current
+- With endless mode ON: observations appear in Claude's context after tool use
+- Hook respects 120s Claude Code timeout (90s observation wait + buffer)
+
+### Anti-patterns
+- Do NOT add transcript clearing in this phase — that's a separate optimization
+- Do NOT block indefinitely — always use timeout with graceful fallback
+- Do NOT swallow errors in the wait path — if it fails, fall back to fire-and-forget
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Build, Test, and Validate
+
+### What to implement
+- `npm run build-and-sync` — full build
+- Manual testing:
+  1. Enable endless mode in settings.json
+  2. Start a Claude Code session
+  3. Execute tool uses and verify observations appear in context
+  4. Verify non-endless mode is unaffected
+- Add basic unit tests in `tests/endless-mode/`
+
+### Verification checklist
+- [ ] `npm run build` succeeds with zero errors
+- [ ] Worker starts without errors
+- [ ] Non-endless mode behavior unchanged (regression check)
+- [ ] With endless mode ON: observation appears in Claude's context after tool use
+- [ ] Timeout fallback works (kill worker mid-processing, verify graceful degradation)
+- [ ] Settings toggle works (on/off without restart)
+- [ ] Database migration applies cleanly on fresh and existing databases
+
+### Anti-patterns
+- Do NOT ship to npm/release yet — this is beta
+- Do NOT add documentation updates yet — feature must be validated first
+- Do NOT add telemetry or analytics in initial implementation
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: Transcript Clearing Optimization (Optional, After Validation)
+
+### What to implement
+- After observation injection is working, add transcript clearing:
+  - After successful observation injection, clear the large `tool_input` from Claude's transcript JSONL
+  - This is the actual token savings mechanism — compressed observation replaces raw tool data
+- Read from old branch: `git show beta/endless-mode:src/hooks/context-injection.ts` for `clearToolInputInTranscript()`
+
+### Files to modify
+- `src/hooks/save-hook.ts` — add transcript clearing after successful injection
+- `src/hooks/transcript-clearer.ts` (NEW) — utility for JSONL manipulation
+
+### Verification
+- Token count decreases after observation injection
+- Transcript JSONL remains valid after clearing
+- Claude Code doesn't break when transcript entries are modified
+
+### Anti-patterns
+- Do NOT clear transcript if observation injection failed — leave raw data intact
+- Do NOT modify transcript entries other than the current tool use
+- Do NOT implement until Phase 5 validation is complete
+
+---
+
+## Decisions Needed from User
+
+1. **Branch name**: `feature/endless-mode-v2` (proposed) — acceptable?
+2. **Scope**: Phases 1-5 are core. Phase 6 is optional. Should Phase 6 be included?
+3. **Pre-tool-use hook**: The old branch had a separate PreToolUse hook to send tool_use_id before execution. The PostToolUse hook already receives tool_use_id from Claude Code. Do we need PreToolUse, or is PostToolUse sufficient?

+# Hook Bugs Investigation & Fix Plan
+
+## Problem Summary
+
+Two open issues report hook failures affecting users on v10.4.0+:
+
+### Issue #1215 — Stop hooks fail: `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` not injected
+- **Root cause**: Upstream Claude Code bug — `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` is not set when Claude Code executes Stop hooks
+- **Scope**: On macOS, only Stop hooks affected. On Linux (Claude Code v2.1.51), ALL hooks affected
+- **Upstream refs**: `anthropics/claude-code#24529`, `anthropics/claude-code#27145`
+- **Impact**: Session-end summarization and session-complete never run
+
+### Issue #1220 — PostToolUse hooks crash on stdin
+- **Bug 1**: `start` command exits 1 when stdin has data (every PostToolUse call sends stdin to all commands in the hook group, including `start` which doesn't need it)
+- **Bug 2**: `observation` command crashes on payloads > ~350 bytes
+- **Impact**: Every tool call produces 2x `PostToolUse:<tool> hook error` messages; observation data never processed
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Issue #1215 (CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT)
+This is an **upstream Claude Code bug**, not a regression we introduced. The `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` variable is supposed to be set by Claude Code's hook executor for all hook types, but Stop hooks don't receive it. Our hooks.json uses this variable in all commands:
+```
+node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/bun-runner.js" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/worker-service.cjs" ...
+```
+When not set, the path resolves to `/scripts/bun-runner.js` which doesn't exist.
+
+### Issue #1220 (stdin crashes) — ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFIED
+
+Three compounding code-level bugs:
+
+**1. Missing `break` statements in switch — `src/services/worker-service.ts:1022-1204`**
+Only the `hook` case (line 1142) has a `break`. All 7 other cases (`start`, `stop`, `restart`, `status`, `cursor`, `generate`, `clean`) rely on `process.exit()` to prevent fall-through. This is fragile — if any async operation throws before `process.exit()` is reached, execution falls through to the next case. For `start`, if `ensureWorkerStarted()` throws, it falls through into `stop` → `restart` → etc.
+
+**2. Unhandled promise rejection — `src/services/worker-service.ts:1213`**
+`main()` is called as `Hge && Fge()` (compiled) without a `.catch()`. The `ensureWorkerStarted()` function CAN throw — specifically via `getInstalledPluginVersion()` in `src/services/infrastructure/HealthMonitor.ts:132` which calls `readFileSync()` and can throw on non-ENOENT/EBUSY errors. An unhandled rejection causes Bun to exit with code 1 silently — matching the reported symptoms exactly.
+
+**3. Redundant `start` command in hooks.json — `plugin/hooks/hooks.json:65`**
+The PostToolUse hook group has a standalone `start` command that receives stdin it doesn't need. This is redundant because the `hook` case at `worker-service.ts:1101` already calls `ensureWorkerStarted()` internally. The extra `start` command adds latency (bun-runner.js waits up to 5s for stdin EOF via `collectStdin()`) and triggers the crash path described above.
+
+**Why Bug 2 (large payloads) manifests at ~350 bytes:**
+The same unhandled-rejection chain. When `ensureWorkerStarted()` inside the `hook` case throws before `hookCommand()` reads stdin, the process exits 1. Larger payloads affect the timing of stdin buffering vs. the concurrent HTTP health check calls, making the throw more likely to occur before stdin is fully consumed.
+
+## Phases
+
+### Phase 0: Documentation Discovery & Reproduction
+
+**Tasks:**
+1. Read Claude Code's hook documentation to understand the stdin contract:
+   - Does Claude Code pass stdin to all commands in a hook group, or only specific ones?
+   - Does Claude Code close stdin after writing, or leave it open?
+   - What are the expected exit code semantics?
+
+2. Check Claude Code upstream issues for any resolution on CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:
+   - `anthropics/claude-code#24529`
+   - `anthropics/claude-code#27145`
+
+3. Reproduce issue #1220 locally:
+   ```bash
+   # Bug 1: start with stdin
+   echo '{"tool_name":"Read","tool_response":"test"}' | bun plugin/scripts/worker-service.cjs start
+   echo $?  # Expected: 1 (broken), should be: 0
+
+   # Bug 2: observation with large payload
+   python3 -c "import json; print(json.dumps({'tool_name':'Read','tool_response':'x'*400,'session_id':'test','cwd':'/tmp'}))" | bun plugin/scripts/worker-service.cjs hook claude-code observation
+   echo $?  # Expected: 1 (broken), should be: 0
+   ```
+
+4. Check `bun-runner.js` stdin timeout behavior:
+   ```bash
+   # Time how long the start command takes through bun-runner
+   time echo '{}' | node plugin/scripts/bun-runner.js plugin/scripts/worker-service.cjs start
+   # If this takes ~5s, the collectStdin timeout is the bottleneck
+   ```
+
+**Verification:** Issue #1220 bugs reproduced locally with exact exit codes documented.
+
+### Phase 1: Fix the three root causes (#1220)
+
+**Fix 1: Add `break` statements to all switch cases**
+
+File: `src/services/worker-service.ts:1022-1204`
+
+Add `break` after every case in the switch statement. Currently only the `hook` case has one. Every other case relies on `process.exit()` which is fragile if the preceding async code throws.
+
+```typescript
+case 'start': {
+  const success = await ensureWorkerStarted(port);
+  if (success) {
+    exitWithStatus('ready');
+  } else {
+    exitWithStatus('error', 'Failed to start worker');
+  }
+  break;  // ADD THIS
+}
+
+case 'stop': {
+  // ...
+  process.exit(0);
+  break;  // ADD THIS (defensive, even after process.exit)
+}
+// ... same for restart, status, cursor, generate, clean
+```
+
+**Fix 2: Add `.catch()` to `main()` invocation**
+
+File: `src/services/worker-service.ts:1213`
+
+The compiled code calls `Fge()` (main) without error handling. Add a catch:
+
+```typescript
+if (isMainModule) {
+  main().catch((error) => {
+    logger.error('SYSTEM', 'Fatal error in main', {}, error instanceof Error ? error : undefined);
+    process.exit(0);  // Exit 0: don't block Claude Code, don't leave Windows Terminal tabs open
+  });
+}
+```
+
+**Fix 3: Remove redundant `start` command from hook groups**
+
+File: `plugin/hooks/hooks.json`
+
+Remove the standalone `start` command from PostToolUse, UserPromptSubmit, and Stop hook groups. The `hook` case in worker-service.ts already calls `ensureWorkerStarted()` internally (line 1101), making the separate `start` command redundant. This also eliminates:
+- The 5s stdin timeout delay in bun-runner.js `collectStdin()`
+- The stdin-crash path entirely
+
+Before:
+```json
+"PostToolUse": [{
+  "matcher": "*",
+  "hooks": [
+    { "command": "... worker-service.cjs start", "timeout": 60 },
+    { "command": "... worker-service.cjs hook claude-code observation", "timeout": 120 }
+  ]
+}]
+```
+
+After:
+```json
+"PostToolUse": [{
+  "matcher": "*",
+  "hooks": [
+    { "command": "... worker-service.cjs hook claude-code observation", "timeout": 120 }
+  ]
+}]
+```
+
+Apply the same removal to UserPromptSubmit and Stop groups.
+
+**Files to modify:**
+- `src/services/worker-service.ts` — add break statements + .catch() on main()
+- `plugin/hooks/hooks.json` — remove redundant `start` commands from PostToolUse, UserPromptSubmit, Stop
+
+**Verification:**
+```bash
+# Bug 1 fixed — start no longer called from hooks, but also safe if called directly
+echo '{"tool_name":"Read","tool_response":"test"}' | bun plugin/scripts/worker-service.cjs start
+echo $?  # Should be 0
+
+# Bug 2 fixed — observation handles large payloads
+python3 -c "import json; print(json.dumps({'tool_name':'Read','tool_response':'x'*2000,'session_id':'test','cwd':'/tmp'}))" | bun plugin/scripts/worker-service.cjs hook claude-code observation
+echo $?  # Should be 0
+
+# No error messages in Claude Code UI during normal tool use
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Workaround for CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT (#1215)
+
+Since this is an upstream Claude Code bug, our options are limited:
+
+**Option 1: Resolve paths at Setup time (preferred)**
+In the `Setup` hook (which DOES receive CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT), write the resolved path to a file:
+```bash
+# In setup.sh
+echo "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}" > ~/.claude-mem/.plugin-root
+```
+Then in bun-runner.js, fall back to reading this file when CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is empty.
+
+**Option 2: Self-resolve using __dirname**
+The scripts know their own location on disk. Instead of relying on CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT, resolve the plugin root from the script's own path:
+```javascript
+const PLUGIN_ROOT = path.resolve(__dirname, '..');
+```
+Then use this instead of the environment variable.
+
+**Option 3: Document the workaround**
+Add to README/docs: users can run `sed` to replace `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` with absolute paths in hooks.json.
+
+**Files to modify:**
+- `plugin/scripts/bun-runner.js` — add PLUGIN_ROOT self-resolution fallback
+- `plugin/hooks/hooks.json` — potentially use self-resolving paths
+- Docs — document the upstream issue and workaround
+
+**Anti-patterns to avoid:**
+- Don't hardcode absolute paths in hooks.json (varies per installation)
+- Don't remove CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT usage entirely (it works on most platforms)
+
+**Verification:**
+```bash
+# Simulate missing CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT
+unset CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT
+node plugin/scripts/bun-runner.js plugin/scripts/worker-service.cjs start
+echo $?  # Should be 0 (falls back to self-resolved path)
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Verification & Testing
+
+1. Run existing hook tests:
+   ```bash
+   npm test -- --grep "hook"
+   ```
+
+2. Verify all 5 hook types work end-to-end:
+   - SessionStart: context injection
+   - UserPromptSubmit: session-init
+   - PostToolUse: observation (small AND large payloads)
+   - Stop: summarize + session-complete (if CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is available)
+
+3. Check for regressions:
+   - No error messages in Claude Code UI during normal operation
+   - Observations are stored correctly
+   - Worker starts reliably
+
+4. Build and verify:
+   ```bash
+   npm run build-and-sync
+   ```
+
+**Anti-patterns to avoid:**
+- Don't suppress errors that indicate real bugs (the stderr suppression from PR #1214 may be hiding issues)
+- Don't add try/catch blocks that swallow errors silently during development

-- `no such column: sdk_session_id` (when columns already renamed)
-- `table observations has no column named memory_session_id` (when not renamed)
-
-### Solution
-- Rewrote migration 17 to check **each table individually** before renaming
-- Added `safeRenameColumn()` helper that handles all edge cases gracefully
-- Handles all database states: fresh, old, and partially migrated
-
-### Who was affected
-- Users upgrading from pre-v8.2.6 versions
-- Users whose migration was interrupted (crash, restart, etc.)
-- Users who restored database from backup

-
-# Cursor Support Now Available 🎉
-
-This is a major release introducing **full Cursor IDE support**. Claude-mem now works with Cursor, bringing persistent AI memory to Cursor users with or without a Claude Code subscription.
-
-## Highlights
-
-**Give Cursor persistent memory.** Every Cursor session starts fresh - your AI doesn't remember what it worked on yesterday. Claude-mem changes that. Your agent builds cumulative knowledge about your codebase, decisions, and patterns over time.
-
-### Works Without Claude Code
-
-You can now use claude-mem with Cursor using free AI providers:
-- **Gemini** (recommended): 1,500 free requests/day, no credit card required
-- **OpenRouter**: Access to 100+ models including free options
-- **Claude SDK**: For Claude Code subscribers
-
-### Cross-Platform Support
-
-Full support for all major platforms:
-- **macOS**: Bash scripts with `jq` and `curl`
-- **Linux**: Same toolchain as macOS
-- **Windows**: Native PowerShell scripts, no WSL required
-
-## New Features
-
-### Interactive Setup Wizard (`bun run cursor:setup`)
-A guided installer that:
-- Detects your environment (Claude Code present or not)
-- Helps you choose and configure an AI provider
-- Installs Cursor hooks automatically
-- Starts the worker service
-- Verifies everything is working
-
-### Cursor Lifecycle Hooks
-Complete hook integration with Cursor's native hook system:
-- `session-init.sh/.ps1` - Session start with context injection
-- `user-message.sh/.ps1` - User prompt capture
-- `save-observation.sh/.ps1` - Tool usage logging
-- `save-file-edit.sh/.ps1` - File edit tracking
-- `session-summary.sh/.ps1` - Session end summary
-- `context-inject.sh/.ps1` - Load relevant history
-
-### Context Injection via `.cursor/rules`
-Relevant past context is automatically injected into Cursor sessions via the `.cursor/rules/claude-mem-context.mdc` file, giving your AI immediate awareness of prior work.
-
-### Project Registry
-Multi-project support with automatic project detection:
-- Projects registered in `~/.claude-mem/cursor-projects.json`
-- Context automatically scoped to current project
-- Works across multiple workspaces simultaneously
-
-### MCP Search Tools
-Full MCP server integration for Cursor:
-- `search` - Find observations by query, date, type
-- `timeline` - Get context around specific observations
-- `get_observations` - Fetch full details for filtered IDs
-
-## New Commands
-
-| Command | Description |
-|---------|-------------|
-| `bun run cursor:setup` | Interactive setup wizard |
-| `bun run cursor:install` | Install Cursor hooks |
-| `bun run cursor:uninstall` | Remove Cursor hooks |
-| `bun run cursor:status` | Check hook installation status |
-
-## Documentation
-
-Full documentation available at [docs.claude-mem.ai/cursor](https://docs.claude-mem.ai/cursor):
-- Cursor Integration Overview
-- Gemini Setup Guide (free tier)
-- OpenRouter Setup Guide
-- Troubleshooting

-name: make-plan
-description: Create a detailed, phased implementation plan with documentation discovery. Use when asked to plan a feature, task, or multi-step implementation — especially before executing with do-plan.
----
-
-# Make Plan
-
-You are an ORCHESTRATOR. Create an LLM-friendly plan in phases that can be executed consecutively in new chat contexts.
-
-## Delegation Model
-
-Use subagents for *fact gathering and extraction* (docs, examples, signatures, grep results). Keep *synthesis and plan authoring* with the orchestrator (phase boundaries, task framing, final wording). If a subagent report is incomplete or lacks evidence, re-check with targeted reads/greps before finalizing.
-
-### Subagent Reporting Contract (MANDATORY)
-
-Each subagent response must include:
-1. Sources consulted (files/URLs) and what was read
-2. Concrete findings (exact API names/signatures; exact file paths/locations)
-3. Copy-ready snippet locations (example files/sections to copy)
-4. "Confidence" note + known gaps (what might still be missing)
-
-Reject and redeploy the subagent if it reports conclusions without sources.
-
-## Plan Structure
-
-### Phase 0: Documentation Discovery (ALWAYS FIRST)
-
-Before planning implementation, deploy "Documentation Discovery" subagents to:
-1. Search for and read relevant documentation, examples, and existing patterns
-2. Identify the actual APIs, methods, and signatures available (not assumed)
-3. Create a brief "Allowed APIs" list citing specific documentation sources
-4. Note any anti-patterns to avoid (methods that DON'T exist, deprecated parameters)
-
-The orchestrator consolidates findings into a single Phase 0 output.
-
-### Each Implementation Phase Must Include
-
-1. **What to implement** — Frame tasks to COPY from docs, not transform existing code
-   - Good: "Copy the V2 session pattern from docs/examples.ts:45-60"
-   - Bad: "Migrate the existing code to V2"
-2. **Documentation references** — Cite specific files/lines for patterns to follow
-3. **Verification checklist** — How to prove this phase worked (tests, grep checks)
-4. **Anti-pattern guards** — What NOT to do (invented APIs, undocumented params)
-
-### Final Phase: Verification
-
-1. Verify all implementations match documentation
-2. Check for anti-patterns (grep for known bad patterns)
-3. Run tests to confirm functionality
-
-## Key Principles
-
-- Documentation Availability ≠ Usage: Explicitly require reading docs
-- Task Framing Matters: Direct agents to docs, not just outcomes
-- Verify > Assume: Require proof, not assumptions about APIs
-- Session Boundaries: Each phase should be self-contained with its own doc references
-
-## Anti-Patterns to Prevent
-
-- Inventing API methods that "should" exist
-- Adding parameters not in documentation
-- Skipping verification steps
-- Assuming structure without checking examples

-You are an ORCHESTRATOR.
-
-Primary instruction: deploy subagents to execute *all* work for #$ARGUMENTS.
-Do not do the work yourself except to coordinate, route context, and verify that each subagent completed its assigned checklist.
-
-Deploy subagents to execute each phase of #$ARGUMENTS independently and consecutively. For every checklist item below, explicitly deploy (or reuse) a subagent responsible for that item and record its outcome before proceeding.
-
-## Execution Protocol (Orchestrator-Driven)
-
-Orchestrator rules:
-- Each phase uses fresh subagents where noted (or when context is large/unclear).
-- The orchestrator assigns one clear objective per subagent and requires evidence (commands run, outputs, files changed).
-- Do not advance to the next step until the assigned subagent reports completion and the orchestrator confirms it matches the plan.
-
-### During Each Phase:
-Deploy an "Implementation" subagent to:
-1. Execute the implementation as specified
-2. COPY patterns from documentation, don't invent
-3. Cite documentation sources in code comments when using unfamiliar APIs
-4. If an API seems missing, STOP and verify - don't assume it exists
-
-### After Each Phase:
-Deploy subagents for each post-phase responsibility:
-1. **Run verification checklist** - Deploy a "Verification" subagent to prove the phase worked
-2. **Anti-pattern check** - Deploy an "Anti-pattern" subagent to grep for known bad patterns from the plan
-3. **Code quality review** - Deploy a "Code Quality" subagent to review changes
-4. **Commit only if verified** - Deploy a "Commit" subagent *only after* verification passes; otherwise, do not commit
-
-### Between Phases:
-Deploy a "Branch/Sync" subagent to:
-- Push to working branch after each verified phase
-- Prepare the next phase handoff so the next phase's subagents start fresh but have plan context
-
-## Failure Modes to Prevent
-- Don't invent APIs that "should" exist - verify against docs
-- Don't add undocumented parameters - copy exact signatures
-- Don't skip verification - deploy a verification subagent and run the checklist
-- Don't commit before verification passes (or without explicit orchestrator approval)

-2. Identify the actual APIs, methods, and signatures available (not assumed)

-3. **Verification checklist** - How to prove this phase worked (tests, grep checks)
-4. **Anti-pattern guards** - What NOT to do (invented APIs, undocumented params)
-
-Subagent-friendly split:
-- Subagents can propose candidate doc references and verification commands.
-- The orchestrator must write the final phase text, ensuring tasks are copy-based, scoped, and independently executable.
-
-### Final Phase: Verification
-1. Verify all implementations match documentation
-2. Check for anti-patterns (grep for known bad patterns)
-3. Run tests to confirm functionality
-
-Delegation guidance:
-- Deploy a "Verification" subagent to draft the checklist and commands.
-- The orchestrator must review the checklist for completeness and ensure it maps to earlier phase outputs.
