-## [10.7.1] - 2026-
-✅ CHANGELOG.md generated successfully!
-   219 releases processed
-stall simplification in v10.7.0 (commit 21b10b46) over-applied scope and replaced the entire `runInstallCommand` with just two `claude` CLI commands. This gutted the interactive IDE multi-select, `--ide` flag, and all 13 IDE-specific setup dispatchers.
+## [12.0.1] - 2026-04-08
+
+## 🔴 Hotfix: MCP server crashed with `Cannot find module 'bun:sqlite'` under Node
+
+v12.0.0 shipped a broken MCP server bundle that crashed on the very first `require()` call because a transitive import pulled `bun:sqlite` (a Bun-only module) into a bundle that runs under Node. Every MCP-only client (Codex and any flow that boots the MCP tool surface) was completely broken on v12.0.0.
+
+### Root cause
+
+`src/servers/mcp-server.ts` imported `ensureWorkerStarted` from `worker-service.ts`, which transitively pulled in `DatabaseManager` → `bun:sqlite`. The bundle ballooned from ~358KB (v11.0.1) to ~1.96MB (v12.0.0) and `node mcp-server.cjs` immediately threw `Error: Cannot find module 'bun:sqlite'`.
+
+### Fix
+
+- **Extracted** `ensureWorkerStarted` and Windows spawn-cooldown helpers into a new lightweight `src/services/worker-spawner.ts` module that has zero database/SQLite/ChromaDB imports
+- **Wired** `mcp-server.ts` and `worker-service.ts` through the new module via a thin back-compat wrapper
+- **Fixed** `resolveWorkerRuntimePath()` to find Bun on every platform (not just Windows) so the MCP server running under Node can correctly spawn the worker daemon under Bun
+- **Added** two build-time guardrails in `scripts/build-hooks.js`:
+  - Regex check: fails the build if `mcp-server.cjs` ever contains a `require("bun:*")` call
+  - Bundle size budget: fails the build if `mcp-server.cjs` exceeds 600KB
+- **Improved** error messages when Bun cannot be located (now names the install URL and explains *why* Bun is required)
+- **Validated** `workerScriptPath` at the spawner entry point with empty-string and existsSync guards
+- **Memoized** `resolveWorkerRuntimePath()` to skip repeated PATH lookups during crash loops, while never caching the not-found result so a long-running MCP server can recover if Bun is installed mid-session
+
+### Verification
+
+- `node mcp-server.cjs` exits cleanly under Node
+- JSON-RPC `initialize` + `tools/list` + `tools/call search` all succeed end-to-end
+- Bundle is back to ~384KB with zero `require("bun:sqlite")` calls
+- 47 unit tests pass (44 ProcessManager + 3 worker-spawner)
+- Both build guardrails verified to trip on simulated regressions
+- Smoke test: MCP server serves the full 7-tool surface
+
+### What this means for users
+
+- **MCP-only clients (Codex, etc.):** v12.0.0 was broken; v12.0.1 restores full functionality
+- **Claude Code users:** worker startup via the SessionStart hook continued working under Bun on v12.0.0, but the MCP tool surface (`mem-search`, `timeline`, `get_observations`, `smart_*`) was unreliable. v12.0.1 fixes that completely.
+- **Plugin developers:** new build-time guardrails prevent this regression class from shipping again

+## [12.0.0] - 2026-04-07
+
+# claude-mem v12.0.0
+
+A major release delivering intelligent file-read gating, expanded language support for smart-explore, platform source isolation, and 40+ bug fixes across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
+
+## Highlights
+
+### File-Read Decision Gate
+Claude Code now intelligently gates redundant file reads. When a file has prior observations in the timeline, the PreToolUse hook injects the observation history and blocks the read — saving tokens and keeping context focused. The gate supports both `Read` and `Edit` tools, uses `permissionDecision` deny with a rich timeline payload, and includes file-size thresholds and observation deduplication.
+
+### Smart-Explore: 24 Language Support
+The `smart-explore` skill now supports **24 programming languages** via tree-sitter AST parsing: TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Rust, Go, Java, C, C++, C#, Ruby, PHP, Swift, Kotlin, Scala, Bash, CSS, SCSS, HTML, Lua, Haskell, Elixir, Zig, TOML, and YAML. User-installable grammars with `--legacy-peer-deps` support for tree-sitter version conflicts.
+
+### Platform Source Isolation
+Claude and Codex sessions are now fully isolated with `platform_source` column on `sdk_sessions`. Each platform gets its own session namespace, preventing cross-contamination between different AI coding tools. Normalized at route boundaries for consistent behavior.
+
+### Codex & OpenClaw Support
+- Codex plugin manifest added for marketplace discoverability
+- OpenClaw: `workerHost` config for Docker deployments
+- OpenClaw: handle stale `plugins.allow` and non-interactive TTY in installer
+
+## New Features
+
+- **File-read decision gate** — blocks redundant file reads with observation timeline injection (#1564, #1629, #1641)
+- **24-language smart-explore** — AST-based code exploration across all major languages
+- **Platform source isolation** — Claude/Codex session namespacing with DB migration
+- **CLAUDE.local.md support** — `CLAUDE_MEM_FOLDER_USE_LOCAL_MD` setting for writing to local-only config
+- **OpenClaw workerHost** — Docker deployment support for OpenClaw plugin
+- **Codex plugin manifest** — discoverability in Codex marketplace
+- **File-size threshold** — skip file-read gating for small files
+- **Observation deduplication** — prevent duplicate observations in timeline gate
+
+## Bug Fixes

+- Use `cmd /c` to execute `bun.cmd` on Windows
+- Prefer `bun.cmd` over bun shell script on Windows
+- Add `shell: true` on Windows to spawn bun from npm
+
+### Cross-Platform

+
+## [11.0.1] - 2026-04-06
+
+**Patch release** — Changes `CLAUDE_MEM_SEMANTIC_INJECT` default from `true` to `false`.
+
+### What changed
+- Per-prompt Chroma vector search on `UserPromptSubmit` is now **opt-in** rather than opt-out
+- Reduces latency and context noise for users who haven't explicitly enabled it
+- Users can re-enable via `CLAUDE_MEM_SEMANTIC_INJECT=true` in `~/.claude-mem/settings.json`
+
+### Why
+The semantic inject fires on every prompt and often surfaces tangentially related observations. A more precise file-context approach (PreToolUse timeline gate) is in development as a replacement.
+
+## [11.0.0] - 2026-04-05
+
+## claude-mem v11.0.0
+
+**4 releases today** · 21 commits · 6,051 insertions · 34 files changed
+
+### Features
+
+#### Semantic Context Injection (#1568)
+Every `UserPromptSubmit` now queries ChromaDB for the top-N most relevant past observations and injects them as context. Replaces recency-based "last N observations" with relevance-based semantic search. Survives `/clear`, skips trivial prompts (<20 chars), and degrades gracefully when Chroma is unavailable.
+
+#### Tier Routing by Queue Complexity
+The SDK agent now inspects pending queue complexity before selecting a model. Simple tool-only queues (Read, Glob, Grep) route to Haiku; mixed/complex queues use the default model. Production result: **~52% cost reduction** on SDK agent usage with quality indistinguishable from Sonnet. Includes a new `observation_feedback` table for future Thompson Sampling optimization.
+
+#### Multi-Machine Observation Sync (#1570)
+New `claude-mem-sync` CLI with `push`, `pull`, `sync`, and `status` commands. Bidirectional sync of observations and session summaries between machines via SSH/SCP with deduplication by `(created_at, title)`. Tested syncing 3,400+ observations between two physical servers — a session on the remote machine used transferred memory to deliver a real feature PR.
+
+#### Orphaned Message Drain (#1567)
+When `deleteSession()` aborts the SDK agent via SIGTERM, pending messages are now marked abandoned instead of remaining in `pending` status forever. Production evidence: 15 orphaned messages found before fix → 0 orphaned messages over 23 days after fix.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+#### Installer Regression Fixed (v10.7.0 → v10.7.1)
+The install simplification in v10.7.0 over-applied scope — it replaced the entire `runInstallCommand` with just two `claude` CLI commands, gutting the interactive IDE multi-select, `--ide` flag, and all 13 IDE-specific setup dispatchers. v10.7.1 restores the full installer for all non-Claude-Code IDEs while keeping the native plugin delegation for Claude Code.
+
+#### 3 Upstream Production Bugs (#1566)
+Found via analysis of 543K log lines over 17 days across two servers:
+- **summarize.ts**: Skip summary when transcript has no assistant message (was causing ~30 errors/day)
+- **ChromaSync.ts**: Fallback to `chroma_update_documents` when add fails with "IDs already exist"
+- **HealthMonitor.ts**: Replace HTTP-based port check with atomic socket bind (eliminates TOCTOU race on simultaneous session starts)
+
+#### Other Fixes
+- Concept-type cleanup log downgraded from error to debug (reduces log noise)
+
+### Breaking Change
+
+**Strict Observer Response Contract** — The memory agent can no longer return prose-style skip responses like "Skipping — no substantive tool executions." `buildObservationPrompt` now requires `<observation>` XML blocks or an empty response. `ResponseProcessor` warns when non-XML content is received. This prevents silent data loss from the observer deciding on its own that tool output isn't worth recording.
+
+### Community
+
+Features in this release were contributed by **Alessandro Costa** ([@alessandropcostabr](https://github.com/alessandropcostabr)) — semantic injection, tier routing, multi-machine sync, orphan drain, and the 3-bug production fix. All PRs include production data from real multi-server deployments.
+
+### Release History
+
+This release consolidates v10.7.0 through v11.0.0, all shipped on April 4, 2026. For the full v10.x era (267 commits, 39 releases), see [v10.7.0](https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/releases/tag/v10.7.0) and earlier.
+
+## [10.7.2] - 2026-04-05
+
+## Bug Fix
+
+- **fix**: Downgrade concept-type cleanup log from error to debug (#1606) — reduces noise in logs by treating routine concept-type cleanup as debug-level rather than error-level logging.
+
+## [10.7.1] - 2026-04-05
+
+## Bug Fix
+
+**Restore full interactive installer** — the install simplification in v10.7.0 (commit 21b10b46) over-applied scope and replaced the entire `runInstallCommand` with just two `claude` CLI commands. This gutted the interactive IDE multi-select, `--ide` flag, and all 13 IDE-specific setup dispatchers.

+This means:
 
 - Database column: `observations.memory_session_id`

+- Stored value: the captured or synthesized `memorySessionId`

-The observations are linked to the session via `contentSessionId`, which remains constant throughout the session lifecycle.
+Observation storage is blocked until a real `memorySessionId` is registered in `sdk_sessions`.

+description: "How claude-mem intercepts file reads to save tokens using observation history"
+---
+
+# File Read Gate
+
+## What It Is
+
+The File Read Gate is a **PreToolUse hook** that intercepts Claude's `Read` tool calls. When Claude tries to read a file that has prior observations in the database, the gate blocks the read and instead shows a compact timeline of past work on that file. Claude then decides the cheapest path to get the context it needs.
+
+This is a concrete implementation of [progressive disclosure](/progressive-disclosure) -- show what exists first, let the agent decide what to fetch.
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+```
+Claude calls Read("src/services/worker-service.ts")
+         ↓
+   PreToolUse hook fires
+         ↓
+   File size < 1,500 bytes? ──→ Allow read (timeline costs more than file)
+         ↓ No
+   Project excluded? ──→ Allow read
+         ↓ No
+   Query worker: GET /api/observations/by-file
+         ↓
+   No observations found? ──→ Allow read
+         ↓ Has observations
+   Deduplicate (1 per session)
+   Rank by specificity
+   Limit to 15
+         ↓
+   DENY read with timeline
+```
+
+When the gate fires, Claude sees a message like this:
+
+```
+Current: 2026-04-07 3:25pm PDT
+Read blocked: This file has prior observations. Choose the cheapest path:
+- Already know enough? The timeline below may be all you need (semantic priming).
+- Need details? get_observations([IDs]) -- ~300 tokens each.
+- Need current code? smart_outline("path") for structure (~1-2k tokens),
+  smart_unfold("path", "<symbol>") for a specific function (~400-2k tokens).
+- Need to edit? Use smart tools for line numbers, then sed via Bash.

+
+### Mar 28, 2026
+41890 4:30pm  Added health check endpoint
+```
+
+---
+
+## The Decision Tree
+
+Claude has four options after seeing the timeline, ordered from cheapest to most expensive:
+
+| Option | Token Cost | When to Use |
+|--------|-----------|-------------|
+| **Semantic priming** | 0 extra | Timeline titles tell Claude enough to proceed |
+| **get_observations([IDs])** | ~300 each | Need specific details from past work |
+| **smart_outline / smart_unfold** | ~1-2k | Need current code structure or a specific function |
+| **Full file read** | 5k-50k | File has changed significantly since observations |
+
+In practice, most file reads resolve at the semantic priming or get_observations level, saving thousands of tokens per interaction.
+
+---
+
+## Current Date/Time for Temporal Reasoning
+
+The timeline includes the current date and time as its first line:
+
+```
+Current: 2026-04-07 3:25pm PDT
+```
+
+This lets Claude reason about how recent the observations are relative to now. For example:
+
+- **Observations from today** -- likely still accurate, semantic priming is safe
+- **Observations from last week** -- probably accurate, get_observations for details
+- **Observations from months ago** -- file may have changed, consider smart_outline or full read
+
+The timestamp format matches the session start context header (`YYYY-MM-DD time timezone`), so Claude sees consistent temporal markers throughout its session.
+
+---
+
+## Token Economics
+
+A typical source file costs **5,000-50,000 tokens** to read in full. The File Read Gate replaces that with:
+
+| Component | Tokens |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Timeline header + instructions | ~120 |
+| 15 observation entries | ~250 |
+| **Total timeline** | **~370** |
+
+If Claude needs more detail, it fetches individual observations at ~300 tokens each. Even fetching 3 observations totals ~1,270 tokens -- still a **75-97% savings** over reading the full file.
+
+### Real-World Example
+
+Without the gate (reading `worker-service.ts`):
+```
+Read: 18,000 tokens
+```
+
+With the gate:
+```
+Timeline:       370 tokens
++ 2 observations: 600 tokens
+Total:          970 tokens (95% savings)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Specificity Ranking
+
+Not all observations about a file are equally relevant. The gate scores each observation by how specifically it relates to the target file:
+
+| Signal | Score Bonus |
+|--------|------------|
+| File was **modified** (not just read) | +2 |
+| Observation covers **3 or fewer** total files | +2 |
+| Observation covers **4-8** total files | +1 |
+| Observation covers **9+** files (survey-like) | +0 |
+
+Higher-scoring observations appear first in the timeline. An observation where the file was the primary modification target ranks above one where the file was incidentally read alongside 20 others.
+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Small File Bypass
+
+Files smaller than **1,500 bytes** always pass through the gate without interception. At that size, the timeline (~370 tokens) would cost more than reading the file directly. This threshold is hardcoded in `src/cli/handlers/file-context.ts`.
+
+### Project Exclusions
+
+Projects matching patterns in `CLAUDE_MEM_EXCLUDED_PROJECTS` skip the gate entirely. Configure this in `~/.claude-mem/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "CLAUDE_MEM_EXCLUDED_PROJECTS": "/tmp/*,/scratch/*"
+}
+```
+
+### How to Disable the Gate
+
+The File Read Gate is implemented as a PreToolUse hook on the `Read` tool matcher. To disable it, remove the `Read` matcher entry from the hooks configuration:
+
+1. Open your Claude Code settings:
+   ```
+   ~/.claude/settings.json
+   ```
+
+2. Find the claude-mem hooks section under `hooks.PreToolUse` and remove the entry with the `Read` matcher.
+
+Alternatively, if you want to keep the gate installed but bypass it for a specific read, Claude can ask you to allow the read -- the gate's deny decision is presented to the user, who can override it.
+
+<Note>
+Disabling the gate means Claude will read full files every time, which increases token usage but ensures it always sees the latest code. This is a reasonable choice for small projects or when observations are sparse.
+</Note>
+
+---
+
+## How It Fits Together
+
+The File Read Gate is one piece of claude-mem's layered context strategy:
+
+1. **Session Start**: Inject timeline of recent observations (layer 1 -- metadata)
+2. **File Read Gate**: Intercept reads with observation history (layer 1 -- metadata)
+3. **get_observations**: Fetch specific observation details on demand (layer 2 -- details)
+4. **smart_outline / smart_unfold**: Read current code structure efficiently (layer 3 -- source)
+5. **Full file read**: Last resort when everything else is insufficient
+
+Each layer is progressively more expensive. The gate ensures Claude starts at the cheapest layer and escalates only when needed.

+---
+
+# Knowledge Agents
+
+Knowledge agents let you compile a slice of your claude-mem observation history into a **queryable "brain"** that answers questions conversationally. Instead of getting raw search results back, you get synthesized, grounded answers drawn from your actual project history -- decisions, discoveries, bugfixes, and features.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Three ways to use knowledge agents, from simplest to most powerful.
+
+### 1. Create a Knowledge Agent
+
+Use the `/knowledge-agent` skill or the MCP tools directly:
+
+```
+build_corpus name="hooks-expertise" query="hooks architecture" project="claude-mem" limit=200
+```
+
+This searches your observation history, collects matching records, and saves them as a corpus file. Then prime it — this loads the corpus into a Claude session's context window:
+
+```
+prime_corpus name="hooks-expertise"
+```
+
+Your knowledge agent is ready. The returned `session_id` **is** the agent — a Claude session with your history baked in.
+
+### 2. Ask a Single Question
+
+Once primed, ask any question and get a grounded answer:
+
+```
+query_corpus name="hooks-expertise" question="What are the 5 lifecycle hooks and when does each fire?"
+```
+
+The agent answers grounded in its corpus — responses are drawn from your actual project history, reducing hallucination and guessing. Each follow-up question builds on the prior conversation:
+
+```
+query_corpus name="hooks-expertise" question="Which hook handles context injection?"
+```
+
+### 3. Start a Fresh Conversation
+
+If the conversation drifts, or you want to ask an unrelated question against the same corpus, reprime to start clean:
+
+```
+reprime_corpus name="hooks-expertise"
+```
+
+This creates a **new session** with the full corpus reloaded — like opening a fresh chat with the same "brain." All prior Q&A context is cleared, but the corpus knowledge remains. Use this when:
+
+- The conversation went off-track and you want a clean slate
+- You're switching topics within the same corpus
+- You want to ask a question without prior answers biasing the response
+
+### Keeping It Current
+
+When new observations are added to your project, rebuild the corpus to pull in the latest, then reprime:
+
+```
+rebuild_corpus name="hooks-expertise"
+reprime_corpus name="hooks-expertise"
+```
+
+Rebuild re-runs the original search filters. Reprime loads the refreshed data into a new session.
+
+---
+
+## The Workflow: Build, Prime, Query
+
+```
+BUILD  ──>  PRIME  ──>  QUERY
+```
+
+### 1. Build a Corpus
+
+A corpus is a filtered collection of observations saved as a JSON file. Use search filters to select exactly the slice of history you want.
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:37777/api/corpus \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "name": "hooks-expertise",
+    "query": "hooks architecture",
+    "project": "claude-mem",
+    "types": ["decision", "discovery"],
+    "limit": 200
+  }'
+```
+
+Under the hood, `CorpusBuilder` searches your observations, hydrates full records, parses structured fields (facts, concepts, files), calculates stats, and writes everything to `~/.claude-mem/corpora/hooks-expertise.corpus.json`.
+
+### 2. Prime the Knowledge Agent
+
+Priming loads the entire corpus into a Claude session's context window.
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:37777/api/corpus/hooks-expertise/prime
+```
+
+The agent renders all observations into full-detail text and feeds them to the Claude Agent SDK. Claude reads the corpus and acknowledges the themes. The returned `session_id` **is** the knowledge agent -- a Claude session with your history baked in.
+
+### 3. Query
+
+Resume the primed session and ask questions.
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:37777/api/corpus/hooks-expertise/query \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{ "question": "What are the 5 lifecycle hooks?" }'
+```
+
+Each follow-up question adds to the conversation naturally. If the session expires, the agent auto-reprimes from the corpus file and retries.
+
+---
+
+## Filter Options
+
+Use these parameters when building a corpus to control which observations are included:
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+|-----------|------|-------------|
+| `name` | string | Name for the corpus (used in all subsequent API calls) |
+| `project` | string | Filter by project name |
+| `types` | string[] | Filter by observation type (bugfix, feature, decision, discovery, refactor, change) |
+| `concepts` | string[] | Filter by tagged concepts |
+| `files` | string[] | Filter by files read or modified |
+| `query` | string | Full-text search query |
+| `dateStart` | string | Start date filter (YYYY-MM-DD) |
+| `dateEnd` | string | End date filter (YYYY-MM-DD) |
+| `limit` | number | Maximum observations to include |

+                                    (~/.claude-mem/corpora/)
+```
+
+**Key insight:** The Agent SDK's `resume` option lets you prime a session once (upload the corpus), save the `session_id`, and resume it for every future question. The corpus stays in context permanently -- no re-uploading, no prompt caching tricks. The 1M token context window makes this viable: 2,000 observations at ~300 tokens each fits comfortably.
+
+---
+
+## When to Use `/knowledge-agent` vs `/mem-search`
+
+| | `/mem-search` | `/knowledge-agent` |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Returns** | Raw observation records | Synthesized conversational answers |
+| **Best for** | Finding specific observations, IDs, timelines | Asking questions about patterns, decisions, architecture |
+| **Token model** | Pay-per-query (3-layer progressive disclosure) | Pay-once at prime time, then cheap follow-ups |
+| **Interaction** | Search, filter, fetch | Ask questions in natural language |
+| **Data freshness** | Always current (queries database live) | Snapshot at build time (rebuild to refresh) |
+| **Setup** | None -- works immediately | Build + prime required before first query |
+
+**Rule of thumb:** Use `/mem-search` when you need to find something specific. Use `/knowledge-agent` when you want to understand something broadly.
+
+---
+

+
+## Edge Cases
+
+- **Session expiry**: If `resume` fails, the agent auto-reprimes from the corpus file and retries
+- **SDK process exit**: If the Claude process exits after yielding all messages, the agent treats it as success when the session_id or answer was already captured
+- **Empty corpus**: A corpus with 0 observations is valid (just empty)
+- **Model from settings**: Reads `CLAUDE_MEM_MODEL` from user settings -- no hardcoded model IDs

+# Knowledge Agent
+
+Build and query AI-powered knowledge bases from claude-mem observations.
+
+## What Are Knowledge Agents?
+
+Knowledge agents are filtered corpora of observations compiled into a conversational AI session. Build a corpus from your observation history, prime it (loads the knowledge into an AI session), then ask it questions conversationally.
+
+Think of them as custom "brains": "everything about hooks", "all decisions from the last month", "all bugfixes for the worker service".
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Step 1: Build a corpus
+
+```text
+build_corpus name="hooks-expertise" description="Everything about the hooks lifecycle" project="claude-mem" concepts="hooks" limit=500
+```
+
+Filter options:
+- `project` — filter by project name
+- `types` — comma-separated: decision, bugfix, feature, refactor, discovery, change
+- `concepts` — comma-separated concept tags
+- `files` — comma-separated file paths (prefix match)
+- `query` — semantic search query
+- `dateStart` / `dateEnd` — ISO date range
+- `limit` — max observations (default 500)
+
+### Step 2: Prime the corpus
+
+```text
+prime_corpus name="hooks-expertise"
+```
+
+This creates an AI session loaded with all the corpus knowledge. Takes a moment for large corpora.
+
+### Step 3: Query
+
+```text
+query_corpus name="hooks-expertise" question="What are the 5 lifecycle hooks and when does each fire?"
+```
+
+The knowledge agent answers from its corpus. Follow-up questions maintain context.
+
+### Step 4: List corpora
+
+```text
+list_corpora
+```
+
+Shows all corpora with stats and priming status.
+
+## Tips
+
+- **Focused corpora work best** — "hooks architecture" beats "everything ever"
+- **Prime once, query many times** — the session persists across queries
+- **Reprime for fresh context** — if the conversation drifts, reprime to reset
+- **Rebuild to update** — when new observations are added, rebuild then reprime
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### Rebuild a corpus (refresh with new observations)
+
+```text
+rebuild_corpus name="hooks-expertise"
+```
+
+After rebuilding, reprime to load the updated knowledge:
+
+### Reprime (fresh session)
+
+```text
+reprime_corpus name="hooks-expertise"
+```
+
+Clears prior Q&A context and reloads the corpus into a new session.

 - **Full observation:** ~500-1000 tokens each
 - **Batch fetch:** 1 HTTP request vs N individual requests
 - **10x token savings** by filtering before fetching
+
+## Smart-Explore Language Support
+
+Smart-explore tools (`smart_search`, `smart_outline`, `smart_unfold`) use tree-sitter AST parsing. The following languages are supported out of the box.
+
+### 24 Bundled Languages
+
+JS, TS, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, Java, C, C++, Kotlin, Swift, PHP, Elixir, Lua, Scala, Bash, Haskell, Zig, CSS, SCSS, TOML, YAML, SQL, Markdown
+
+### Markdown Special Support
+
+Markdown files get structure-aware parsing beyond generic tree-sitter:
+
+- **Heading hierarchy** -- `#`/`##`/`###` headings are extracted as nested symbols (sections contain subsections)
+- **Code block detection** -- fenced code blocks are surfaced as `code` symbols with language annotation
+- **Section-aware unfold** -- `smart_unfold` on a heading returns the full section content (heading through all subsections until the next heading of equal or higher level)
+
+### User-Installable Grammars via `.claude-mem.json`
+
+Add custom tree-sitter grammars for languages not in the bundled set. Place `.claude-mem.json` in the project root:
+
+```json
+{
+  "grammars": {
+    "gleam": {
+      "package": "tree-sitter-gleam",
+      "extensions": [".gleam"]
+    },
+    "protobuf": {
+      "package": "tree-sitter-proto",
+      "extensions": [".proto"],
+      "query": ".claude-mem/queries/proto.scm"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Fields:**
+
+- `package` (string, required) -- npm package name for the tree-sitter grammar
+- `extensions` (array of strings, required) -- file extensions to associate with this language
+- `query` (string, optional) -- path to a custom `.scm` query file for symbol extraction. If omitted, a generic query is used.
+
+**Rules:**
+
+- User grammars do NOT override bundled languages. If a language is already bundled, the entry is ignored.
+- The npm package must be installed in the project (`npm install tree-sitter-gleam`).
+- Config is cached per project root. Changes to `.claude-mem.json` take effect on next worker restart.
+
+## Knowledge Agents
+
+Want synthesized answers instead of raw records? Use `/knowledge-agent` to build a queryable corpus from your observation history. The knowledge agent reads all matching observations and answers questions conversationally.
