chore: bump version to 12.1.3

The synthetic summary salvage feature created fake summaries from observation
data when the AI returned <observation> instead of <summary> tags. This was
overengineered — missing a summary is preferable to fabricating one from
observation fields that don't map cleanly to summary semantics.

+✅ CHANGELOG.md generated successfully!
+   226 releases processed
+dresses the most impactful bugs across summary persistence, MCP compliance, cross-platform compatibility, and data integrity.
+
+### Highlights
+
+**Summary pipeline fix** — When the LLM returns `<observation>` tags instead of `<summary>` tags (~72% of the time on v12.0.x), data is now salvaged into a synthetic summary instead of being silently discarded. (#1718)
+
+**MCP compliance** — `list_corpora` now returns proper `CallToolResult` objects instead of bare arrays that crashed MCP clients. Search and timeline tools now declare `inputSchema.properties`. (#1701, #1555)
+
+**Data integrity** — Ghost observations with no content fields are now filtered before storage. Search queries are now scoped to the current project via `WHERE project = ?`. (#1676, #1688... wait, #1688 wasn't in this batch)
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(ResponseProcessor):** salvage synthetic summary when AI returns `<observation>` instead of `<summary>` (#1718)
+- **fix(ResponseProcessor):** broadcast uses `summaryForStore` to support salvaged summaries (post-merge fix for #1718)
+- **fix(hooks):** soft-fail SessionStart health check on cold start (#1725)
+- **fix(deps):** upgrade glob ^11.0.3 → ^13.0.0 for CVE fix (#1724, #1717)
+- **fix(MCP):** wrap `list_corpora` response in CallToolResult shape (#1701, #1700)
+- **fix(MCP):** declare inputSchema properties for search and timeline tools (#1555, #1384, #1413)
+- **fix(config):** use bun to run mcp-server.cjs instead of node shebang (#1658, #1648)
+- **fix(parser):** filter ghost observations with no content fields (#1676, #1625)
+- **fix(chroma):** set cwd to homedir when spawning chroma-mcp to prevent .env.local crash (#1679, #1297)
+- **fix(Windows):** avoid DEP0190 deprecation by using single-string spawnSync (#1677, #1503)
+- **fix(worker):** suppress false ERROR when duplicate daemon loses port bind race (#1680, #1447)
+- **fix(session):** expose `summaryStored` in session status for silent summary loss detection (#1686, #1633)
+- **fix(cross-platform):** add .gitattributes to enforce LF endings on plugin scripts (#1678, #1342)
+- **fix(tests):** remove leaky mock.module() that polluted parallel workers (#1666, #1299)

+### Mode & Language Configuration
+
+Claude-Mem supports multiple workflow modes and languages via the `CLAUDE_MEM_MODE` setting.
+
+This option controls both:
+- The workflow behavior (e.g. code, chill, investigation)
+- The language used in generated observations
+
+#### How to Configure
+
+Edit your settings file at `~/.claude-mem/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "CLAUDE_MEM_MODE": "code--zh"
+}
+```
+
+Modes are defined in `plugin/modes/`. To see all available modes locally:
+
+```bash
+ls ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/thedotmack/plugin/modes/
+```
+
+#### Available Modes
+
+| Mode | Description |
+|------------|-------------------------|
+| `code` | Default English mode |
+| `code--zh` | Simplified Chinese mode |
+| `code--ja` | Japanese mode |
+
+Language-specific modes follow the pattern `code--[lang]` where `[lang]` is the ISO 639-1 language code (e.g., `zh` for Chinese, `ja` for Japanese, `es` for Spanish).
+
+> Note: `code--zh` (Simplified Chinese) is already built-in — no additional installation or plugin update is required.
+
+#### After Changing Mode
+
+Restart Claude Code to apply the new mode configuration.

+ * Tests for Issue #1652: Stuck generator (zombie subprocess) detection in reapStaleSessions()
+ *
+ * Root cause: reapStaleSessions() unconditionally skipped sessions where
+ * `session.generatorPromise` was non-null, meaning generators stuck inside
+ * `for await (const msg of queryResult)` (blocked on a hung subprocess) were
+ * never cleaned up — even after the session's Stop hook completed.
+ *
+ * Fix: Check `session.lastGeneratorActivity`. If it hasn't updated in
+ * MAX_GENERATOR_IDLE_MS (5 min), SIGKILL the subprocess to unblock the
+ * for-await, then abort the controller so the generator exits.
+ *
+ * Mock Justification (~30% mock code):
+ * - Session fixtures: Required to create valid ActiveSession objects with all
+ *   required fields — tests the actual detection logic, not fixture creation.
+ * - Process mock: Verify SIGKILL is sent and abort is called — no real subprocess needed.
