 ## Critical Rules
 
 **ALWAYS:**
-- Update ALL FOUR files with matching version numbers
+- Update ALL THREE files with matching version numbers
 - Create git tag with format `vX.Y.Z`
 - Create GitHub release from the tag
 - Generate CHANGELOG.md from releases after creating release
 - Ask user if version type is unclear
 
 **NEVER:**
-- Update only one, two, or three files
+- Update only one or two files
 - Skip the verification step
 - Forget to create git tag or GitHub release
-- Add version history entries to CLAUDE.md (that's managed separately)
 
 ## Verification Checklist
 
 Before considering the task complete:
-- [ ] All FOUR files have matching version numbers
+- [ ] All THREE files have matching version numbers
 - [ ] `npm run build` succeeds
 - [ ] Git commit created with all version files
 - [ ] Git tag created (format: vX.Y.Z)
 - [ ] Commit and tags pushed to remote
 - [ ] GitHub release created from the tag
 - [ ] CHANGELOG.md generated and committed
-- [ ] CLAUDE.md: ONLY line 9 updated (version number), NOT version history

+## [8.0.0] - 2025-12-14
+
+### Fixed
+
+**Timeline MCP Tools Parameter Bug**
+
+Fixed critical bug where timeline tools were completely non-functional due to parameter name mismatch between MCP layer and SearchManager. The tools now use correct parameter names:
+- `anchor` (was incorrectly `anchor_id`)
+- `depth_before` (was incorrectly `before`)
+- `depth_after` (was incorrectly `after`)
+- `type` (was incorrectly `obs_type` in timeline tool only)
+
+**Affected Tools:** `timeline`, `get_context_timeline`, `get_timeline_by_query`
+
+**Impact:** These tools were previously broken and would fail with "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')" errors. They now work correctly with the proper parameter names that match the underlying SearchManager implementation.
+
+### Added
+- New `get_batch_observations` MCP tool for efficiently fetching multiple observations in a single request
+- Enhanced SessionStore methods for fetching prompts and session summaries by ID
+
+### Changed
+- Extracted magic numbers to constants (`RECENCY_WINDOW_DAYS`, `RECENCY_WINDOW_MS`)
+- Replaced debug logging calls with proper logger methods

+
+## [7.2.1] - 2025-12-14
+
+## Translation Script Enhancements
+
+This release adds powerful enhancements to the README translation system, supporting 35 languages with improved efficiency and caching.
+
+### What's New
+
+**Translation Script Improvements:**
+- **Caching System**: Smart `.translation-cache.json` tracks content hashes to skip re-translating unchanged content
+- **Parallel Processing**: `--parallel <n>` flag enables concurrent translations for faster execution
+- **Force Re-translation**: `--force` flag to override cache when needed
+- **Tier-Based Scripts**: Organized translation workflows by language priority
+  - `npm run translate:tier1` - 7 major languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.)
+  - `npm run translate:tier2` - 8 strong tech scene languages (Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, etc.)
+  - `npm run translate:tier3` - 7 emerging markets (Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, etc.)
+  - `npm run translate:tier4` - 6 additional languages (Italian, Greek, Hungarian, etc.)
+  - `npm run translate:all` - All 35 languages sequentially
+- **Better Output Handling**: Automatically strips markdown code fences if Claude wraps output
+- **Translation Disclaimer**: Adds community correction notice at top of translated files
+- **Performance**: Uses Bun runtime for faster execution
+
+### Supported Languages (35 Total)
+
+Arabic, Bengali, Brazilian Portuguese, Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese

+## [7.1.15] - 2025-12-14
+
+## 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+**Worker Service Initialization**
+- Fixed 404 error on `/api/context/inject` during worker startup
+- Route is now registered immediately instead of after database initialization
+- Prevents race condition on fresh installs and restarts
+- Added integration test for early context inject route access
+
+## Technical Details
+
+The context hook was failing with `Cannot GET /api/context/inject` because the route was registered only after database initialization completed. This created a race condition where the hook could attempt to access the endpoint before it existed.
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Added `initializationComplete` Promise to track async background initialization
+- Register `/api/context/inject` route immediately in `setupRoutes()`
+- Early handler blocks requests until initialization resolves (30s timeout)
+- Route handler duplicates logic from `SearchRoutes.handleContextInject` by design to prevent 404s
+
+**Testing:**
+- Added integration test verifying route registration and timeout handling
+
+Fixes #305

+
+## [7.1.14] - 2025-12-14
+
+## Enhanced Error Handling & Logging
+
+This patch release improves error message quality and logging across the claude-mem system.
+
+### Error Message Improvements
+
+**Standardized Hook Error Handling**
+- Created shared error handlers (`handleFetchError`, `handleWorkerError`) for consistent error messages
+- Platform-aware restart instructions (macOS, Linux, Windows) with correct commands
+- Migrated all hooks (context, new, save, summary) to use standardized handlers
+- Enhanced error logging with actionable context before throwing restart instructions
+
+**ChromaSync Error Standardization**
+- Consistent client initialization checks across all methods
+- Enhanced error messages with troubleshooting steps and restart instructions
+- Better context about which operation failed
+
+**Worker Service Improvements**
+- Enhanced version endpoint error logging with status codes and response text
+- Improved worker restart error messages with PM2 commands
+- Better context in all worker-related error scenarios
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- **Issue #260**: Fixed `happy_path_error__with_fallback` misuse in save-hook causing false "Missing cwd" errors
+- Removed unnecessary `happy_path_error` calls from SDKAgent that were masking real error messages
+- Cleaned up migration logging to use `console.log` instead of `console.error` for non-error events
+
+### Logging Improvements
+
+**Timezone-Aware Timestamps**
+- Worker logs now use local machine timezone instead of UTC
+- Maintains same format (`YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.mmm`) but reflects local time
+- Easier debugging and log correlation with system events
+- Enhanced worker-cli logging output format
+
+### Test Coverage
+
+Added comprehensive test suites:
+- `tests/error-handling/hook-error-logging.test.ts` - 12 tests for hook error handler behavior
+- `tests/services/chroma-sync-errors.test.ts` - ChromaSync error message consistency
+- `tests/integration/hook-execution-environments.test.ts` - Bun PATH resolution across shells
+- `docs/context/TEST_AUDIT_2025-12-13.md` - Comprehensive audit report

+
+## [7.1.12] - 2025-12-14
+
+## What's Fixed
+
+- **Fix data directory creation**: Ensure `~/.claude-mem/` directory exists before writing PM2 migration marker file
+  - Fixes ENOENT errors on first-time installation (issue #259)
+  - Adds `mkdirSync(dataDir, { recursive: true })` in `startWorker()` before marker file write
+  - Resolves Windows installation failures introduced in f923c0c and exposed in 5d4e71d
+
+## Changes
+
+- Added directory creation check in `src/shared/worker-utils.ts`
+- All 52 tests passing
+

+
+## [7.1.11] - 2025-12-14
+
+## What's Changed
+
+**Refactor: Simplified hook execution by removing bun-wrapper indirection**
+
+Hooks are compiled to standard JavaScript and work perfectly with Node. The bun-wrapper was solving a problem that doesn't exist - hooks don't use Bun-specific APIs, they're just HTTP clients to the worker service.
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Removes ~100 lines of code
+- Simpler cross-platform support (especially Windows)
+- No PATH resolution needed for hooks
+- Worker still uses Bun where performance matters
+- Follows YAGNI and Simple First principles
+
+**Fixes:**
+- Fish shell compatibility issue (#264)
+
+**Full Changelog:** https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/compare/v7.1.10...v7.1.11
+
+## [7.1.10] - 2025-12-14
+
+## Enhancement
+
+This release adds automatic orphan cleanup to complement the process leak fix from v7.1.9.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Auto-Cleanup on Startup**: Worker now automatically detects and kills orphaned chroma-mcp processes before starting
+  - Scans for existing chroma-mcp processes on worker startup
+  - Kills all found processes before creating new ones
+  - Logs cleanup activity (process count and PIDs)
+  - Non-fatal error handling (continues on cleanup failure)
+
+### Benefits
+
+- Automatically recovers from pre-7.1.9 process leaks without manual intervention
+- Ensures clean slate on every worker restart
+- Prevents accumulation even if v7.1.9's close() method fails
+- No user action required - works transparently
+
+### Example Logs
+
+```
+[INFO] [SYSTEM] Cleaning up orphaned chroma-mcp processes {count=2, pids=33753,33750}
+[INFO] [SYSTEM] Orphaned processes cleaned up {count=2}
+```
+
+### Recommendation
+
+Upgrade from v7.1.9 to get automatic orphan cleanup. Combined with v7.1.9's proper subprocess cleanup, this provides comprehensive protection against process leaks.

+
+## [7.1.9] - 2025-12-14
+
+## Critical Bugfix
+
+This patch release fixes a critical memory leak that caused chroma-mcp processes to accumulate with each worker restart, leading to memory exhaustion and silent backfill failures.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Process Leak Prevention**: ChromaSync now properly cleans up chroma-mcp subprocesses when the worker is restarted
+  - Store reference to StdioClientTransport subprocess
+  - Explicitly close transport to kill subprocess on shutdown
+  - Add error handling to ensure cleanup even on failures
+  - Reset all state in finally block
+
+### Impact
+
+- Eliminates process accumulation (16+ orphaned processes seen in production)
+- Prevents memory exhaustion from leaked subprocesses (900MB+ RAM usage)
+- Fixes silent backfill failures caused by OOM kills
+- Ensures graceful cleanup on worker shutdown
+
+### Recommendation
+
+**All users should upgrade immediately** to prevent memory leaks and ensure reliable backfill operation.

+* fix: add npm fallback when bun install fails with alias packages (#265)
+
+**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/compare/v7.1.3...v7.1.4
+
+## [7.1.3] - 2025-12-13
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+### Smart Install Script Refactoring
+
+Refactored the smart-install.js script to improve code quality and maintainability:
+- Extracted common installation paths as top-level constants (BUN_COMMON_PATHS, UV_COMMON_PATHS)
+- Simplified installation check functions to delegate to dedicated path-finding helpers
+- Streamlined installation verification logic with clearer error messages
+- Removed redundant post-installation verification checks
+- Improved error propagation by removing unnecessary retry logic
+
+This refactoring reduces code duplication and makes the installation process more maintainable while preserving the same functionality for detecting Bun and uv binaries across platforms.
+
+## [7.1.2] - 2025-12-13
+
+## 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+### Windows Installation
+- Fixed Bun PATH detection on Windows after fresh install
+- Added fallback to check common install paths before PATH reload  
+- Improved smart-install.js to use full Bun path when not in PATH
+- Added proper path quoting for Windows usernames with spaces
+
+### Worker Startup
+- Fixed worker connection failures in Stop hook
+- Added health check retry loop (5 attempts, 500ms intervals)
+- Worker now waits up to 2.5s for responsiveness before returning
+- Improved error detection for Bun's ConnectionRefused error format
+
+---
+
+**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/compare/v7.1.1...v7.1.2
+
+## [7.1.1] - 2025-12-13
+
+## 🚨 Critical Fixes
+
+### Windows 11 Bun Auto-Install Fixed
+- **Problem**: v7.1.0 had a chicken-and-egg bug where `bun smart-install.js` failed if Bun wasn't installed
+- **Solution**: SessionStart hook now uses `node` (always available) for smart-install.js
+- **Impact**: Fresh Windows installations now work out-of-box
+
+### Path Quoting for Windows
+- Fixed `hooks.json` to quote all paths
+- Prevents SyntaxError for usernames with spaces (e.g., "C:\Users\John Doe\")
+
+## ✨ New Feature
+
+### Automatic Worker Restart on Version Updates
+- Worker now automatically restarts when plugin version changes
+- No more manual `npm run worker:restart` needed after upgrades
+- Eliminates connection errors from running old worker code
+
+## 📝 Notes
+
+- **No manual actions required** - worker auto-restarts on next session start
+- All future upgrades will automatically restart the worker
+- Fresh installs on Windows 11 work correctly

+
+## [7.1.0] - 2025-12-13
+
+## Major Architectural Migration
+
+This release completely replaces PM2 with native Bun-based process management and migrates from better-sqlite3 to bun:sqlite.
+
+### Key Changes
+
+**Process Management**
+- Replace PM2 with custom Bun-based ProcessManager
+- PID file-based process tracking
+- Automatic legacy PM2 process cleanup on all platforms
+
+**Database Driver**
+- Migrate from better-sqlite3 npm package to bun:sqlite runtime module
+- Zero native compilation required
+- Same API compatibility
+
+**Auto-Installation**
+- Bun runtime auto-installed if missing
+- uv (Python package manager) auto-installed for Chroma vector search
+- Smart installer with platform-specific methods (curl/PowerShell)
+
+### Migration
+
+**Automatic**: First hook trigger after update performs one-time PM2 cleanup and transitions to new architecture. No user action required.
+
+### Documentation
+
+Complete technical documentation in `docs/PM2-TO-BUN-MIGRATION.md`
+
+## [7.0.11] - 2025-12-12
+
+Patch release adding feature/bun-executable to experimental branch selector for testing Bun runtime integration.
+
+## [7.0.9] - 2025-12-10
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixed MCP response format in search route handlers - all 14 search endpoints now return complete response objects with error status instead of just content arrays, restoring MCP protocol compatibility
+
+## Changes
+
+- `SearchRoutes.ts`: Updated all route handlers to return full result object instead of extracted content property
+
+## [7.0.8] - 2025-12-10
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+- **Critical**: Filter out meta-observations for session-memory files to prevent recursive timeline pollution
+  - Memory agent was creating observations about editing Agent SDK's session-memory/summary.md files
+  - This created a recursive loop where investigating timeline pollution caused more pollution
+  - Filter now skips Edit/Write/Read/NotebookEdit operations on any file path containing 'session-memory'
+  - Eliminates 91+ meta-observations that were polluting the timeline
+
+## Technical Details
+
+Added filtering logic in SessionRoutes.ts to detect and skip file operations on session-memory files before observations are queued to the SDK agent. This prevents the memory agent from observing its own observation metadata files.
+
+## [7.0.7] - 2025-12-10
+
+## What's Changed
+
+### Code Quality Improvements
+- Refactored hooks codebase to reduce complexity and improve maintainability (#204)
+- Net reduction of 78 lines while adding new functionality
+- Improved type safety across all hook input interfaces
+
+### New Features
+- Added `CLAUDE_MEM_SKIP_TOOLS` configuration setting for controlling which tools are excluded from observations
+- Default skip tools: `ListMcpResourcesTool`, `SlashCommand`, `Skill`, `TodoWrite`, `AskUserQuestion`
+
+### Technical Improvements
+- Created shared utilities: `transcript-parser.ts`, `hook-constants.ts`, `hook-error-handler.ts`
+- Migrated business logic from hooks to worker service for better separation of concerns
+- Enhanced error handling and spinner management
+- Removed dead code and unnecessary abstractions
+
+**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/compare/v7.0.6...v7.0.7
+
+## [7.0.6] - 2025-12-10
+
+## Bug Fixes

+
+## [7.0.3] - 2025-12-09
+
+## What's Changed
+
+**Refactoring:**
+- Completed rename of `search-server` to `mcp-server` throughout codebase
+- Updated all documentation references from search-server to mcp-server
+- Updated debug log messages to use `[mcp-server]` prefix

+
+## What's Changed
+
+**Bug Fixes:**
+- Improved auto-start worker functionality for better reliability
+
+**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/compare/v7.0.1...v7.0.2
+
+## [7.0.1] - 2025-12-09
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+- **Hook Execution**: Ensure worker is running at the beginning of all hook files
+- **Context Hook**: Replace waitForPort with ensureWorkerRunning for better error handling
+- **Reliability**: Move ensureWorkerRunning to start of all hook functions to ensure worker is started before any logic executes
+
+## Technical Changes
+
+- context-hook.ts: Replace waitForPort logic with ensureWorkerRunning
+- summary-hook.ts: Move ensureWorkerRunning before input validation
+- new-hook.ts: Move ensureWorkerRunning before debug logging
+- save-hook.ts: Move ensureWorkerRunning before SKIP_TOOLS check
+- cleanup-hook.ts: Move ensureWorkerRunning before silentDebug calls
+
+This ensures more reliable worker startup and clearer error messages when the worker fails to start.
+
+## [7.0.0] - 2025-12-08
+
+# Major Architectural Refactor
+
+This major release represents a complete architectural transformation of claude-mem from a monolithic design to a clean, modular HTTP-based architecture.
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+**None** - Despite being a major version bump due to the scope of changes, this release maintains full backward compatibility. All existing functionality works exactly as before.
+
+## What Changed
+
+### Hooks → HTTP Clients
+- All 5 lifecycle hooks converted from direct database access to lightweight HTTP clients
+- Each hook reduced from 400-800 lines to ~75 lines
+- Hooks now make simple HTTP calls to the worker service
+- Eliminates SQL duplication across hooks - single source of truth in worker
+
+### Worker Service Modularization
+- `worker-service.ts` reduced from 1600+ lines to clean orchestration layer
+- New route-based HTTP architecture:
+  - `SessionRoutes` - Session lifecycle management
+  - `DataRoutes` - Database queries (observations, sessions, timeline)
+  - `SearchRoutes` - Full-text and semantic search
+  - `SettingsRoutes` - Configuration management
+  - `ViewerRoutes` - UI endpoints
+
+### New Service Layer
+- `BaseRouteHandler` - Centralized error handling, response formatting (used 46x)
+- `SessionEventBroadcaster` - Semantic SSE event broadcasting
+- `SessionCompletionHandler` - Consolidated session completion logic
+- `SettingsDefaultsManager` - Single source of truth for configuration defaults
+- `PrivacyCheckValidator` - Centralized privacy tag validation
+- `FormattingService` - Dual-format result rendering
+- `TimelineService` - Complex markdown timeline formatting
+- `SearchManager` - Extracted search logic from context generation
+
+### Database Improvements
+- Migrated from \`bun:sqlite\` to \`better-sqlite3\` for broader compatibility
+- SQL queries moved from route handlers to \`SessionStore\` for separation of concerns
+- \`PaginationHelper\` centralizes paginated queries with LIMIT+1 optimization
+
+### Testing Infrastructure
+- New comprehensive happy path tests for full session lifecycle
+- Integration tests covering session init, observation capture, search, summaries, cleanup
+- Test helpers and mocks for consistent testing patterns
+
+### Type Safety
+- Removed 'as any' casts throughout codebase
+- New \`src/types/database.ts\` with proper type definitions
+- Enhanced null safety in SearchManager
+
+## Stats
+- **60 files changed**
+- **8,671 insertions, 5,585 deletions**
+- Net: ~3,000 lines of new code (mostly tests and new modular services)
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+No migration required! Update and continue using claude-mem as before.

+### Windows Known Issues
+
+**Console Window Visibility**: On Windows, a console window may briefly appear when the worker service starts. This is a cosmetic issue that we're working to resolve. We've prioritized stability by removing a workaround that was causing libuv crashes. The window does not affect functionality and will be addressed in a future release when the MCP SDK provides proper window hiding support.

+# Branch Switching Test Plan: feature/bun-executable
+
+## Overview
+This document validates that switching to the `feature/bun-executable` branch will be seamless for users.
+
+## Branch Switching Mechanism
+
+When a user switches branches via the Settings UI:
+
+1. **Branch Switch Request**: User selects `feature/bun-executable` from Settings UI
+2. **Validation**: SettingsRoutes validates branch name against allowed list
+3. **Git Operations**: BranchManager performs:
+   - Discard local changes (`git checkout -- .` and `git clean -fd`)
+   - Fetch from origin (`git fetch origin`)
+   - Checkout target branch (`git checkout feature/bun-executable`)
+   - Pull latest (`git pull origin feature/bun-executable`)
+4. **Install Dependencies**: 
+   - Clear install marker (`.install-version`)
+   - Run `npm install` (2 minute timeout)
+5. **Worker Restart**: Worker process exits and PM2/supervisor restarts it
+
+## Feature Branch Changes
+
+The `feature/bun-executable` branch makes these key changes:
+
+### Dependencies Removed
+- `better-sqlite3` → Uses Bun's built-in SQLite
+- `pm2` → Custom worker CLI with process management
+- `@types/better-sqlite3`
+
+### New Features
+- Auto-installation of Bun runtime in smart-install.js
+- Simplified worker management via worker-cli.js
+- No native module compilation required (better-sqlite3 removed)
+
+## Installation Validation
+
+### Current Branch → feature/bun-executable
+
+**Step 1: Branch Switch (BranchManager)**
+```bash
+git checkout feature/bun-executable
+git pull origin feature/bun-executable
+rm .install-version
+npm install  # ✅ Works - package.json is npm-compatible
+```
+
+**Step 2: First Hook Execution**
+```bash
+node plugin/scripts/context-hook.js
+  ↓
+Calls smart-install.js
+  ↓
+Checks if Bun installed → Auto-installs if missing
+  ↓
+Runs: bun install (if needed)
+```
+
+**Step 3: Worker Management**
+- Old: PM2 manages worker-service.cjs
+- New: worker-cli.js manages worker as background process
+- Transition: Automatic on first worker start command
+
+## Seamless Installation Checklist
+
+- [x] **Branch Validation**: `feature/bun-executable` added to allowedBranches list
+- [x] **npm install Compatible**: Feature branch package.json works with npm
+- [x] **No Breaking Changes**: No hooks that would fail on first run
+- [x] **Auto-Install**: smart-install.js automatically installs Bun if missing
+- [x] **Graceful Degradation**: Scripts fall back to node if Bun unavailable
+- [x] **No Manual Steps**: User just clicks "Switch Branch" in UI
+
+## Potential Issues & Mitigations
+
+### Issue 1: Bun Not in PATH After Install
+**Mitigation**: smart-install.js checks common Bun installation paths and provides clear instructions to user
+
+### Issue 2: PM2 vs Worker CLI Transition
+**Mitigation**: Old PM2 worker continues running, new worker CLI starts separately. User can manually stop old PM2 worker if needed.
+
+### Issue 3: Windows Compatibility
+**Mitigation**: Feature branch uses PowerShell installer for Windows, curl for Unix/macOS
+
+## Test Results
+
+### Unit Tests
+```bash
+✓ tests/branch-selector.test.ts (5 tests)
+  ✓ should allow main branch
+  ✓ should allow beta/7.0 branch
+  ✓ should allow feature/bun-executable branch
+  ✓ should reject invalid branch names
+  ✓ should have exactly 3 allowed branches
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+```bash
+✓ All existing tests pass (42 tests)
+✓ No regressions introduced
+✓ TypeScript compilation successful
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+✅ **SEAMLESS INSTALLATION VALIDATED**
+
+The installation process is seamless because:
+1. Branch switching uses standard git operations
+2. `npm install` works on feature branch
+3. Bun auto-installs on first hook execution
+4. No manual intervention required
+5. Clear error messages if issues occur
+6. Backward compatible with existing installations

+# Claude-Mem Smart Install & Plugin Hooks - Comprehensive Analysis
+
+**Generated:** 2025-12-09
+**Scope:** Smart install system, all plugin hooks, cross-platform compatibility, error handling, edge cases
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This report provides a comprehensive analysis of claude-mem's smart install system and plugin hook infrastructure. The analysis focuses on cross-platform compatibility, error handling patterns, artificial blockers, and edge case handling.
+
+**Key Findings:**
+- ✅ Overall architecture is well-designed with clear separation of concerns
+- ⚠️ Multiple cross-platform compatibility issues identified
+- ⚠️ Several silent failure patterns that hinder debugging
+- ⚠️ Artificial blockers that could prevent legitimate use cases
+- ⚠️ Inconsistent timeout values across different components
+- ✅ No nested try-catch anti-patterns found
+
+---
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+### Smart Install System Flow
+
+```
+User Invokes Hook
+    ↓
+ensureWorkerRunning() [worker-utils.ts]
+    ↓
+isWorkerHealthy() → fetch /health endpoint
+    ↓
+    ├─ [HEALTHY] → Continue
+    └─ [UNHEALTHY] → startWorker()
+        ↓
+        ├─ [Windows] → PowerShell Start-Process (hidden window)
+        └─ [Unix] → Bun start ecosystem.config.cjs
+            ↓
+        Wait for health check (15 retries × 1000ms)
+            ↓
+            ├─ [SUCCESS] → Continue
+            └─ [FAILURE] → Throw error with manual recovery instructions
+```
+
+### Plugin Hook Lifecycle
+
+1. **SessionStart** (context-hook.ts + user-message-hook.ts)
+   - context-hook: Fetches context via HTTP/curl
+   - user-message-hook: Displays context to user via stderr
+
+2. **UserPromptSubmit** (new-hook.ts)
+   - Creates/retrieves SDK session
+   - Strips privacy tags from prompt
+   - Initializes session via HTTP
+
+3. **PostToolUse** (save-hook.ts)
+   - Filters skipped tools
+   - Sends observation to worker via HTTP
+
+4. **Stop** (summary-hook.ts)
+   - Parses transcript JSONL
+   - Extracts last user/assistant messages
+   - Requests summary generation via HTTP
+
+5. **SessionEnd** (cleanup-hook.ts)
+   - Marks session complete
+   - Fire-and-forget HTTP request
+
+---
+
+## Cross-Platform Compatibility Issues
+
+### 🔴 CRITICAL: curl Dependency (context-hook.ts)
+
+**Location:** `src/hooks/context-hook.ts:32`
+
+```typescript
+const result = execSync(`curl -s "${url}"`, { encoding: "utf-8", timeout: 5000 });
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+1. **Windows Compatibility:** curl is not guaranteed to be available on Windows systems (though included in Windows 10 1803+, it may be missing on older systems or custom installations)
+2. **Error Handling:** No try-catch around execSync - will throw unhandled exception if curl fails
+3. **Redundancy:** Uses curl when JavaScript's native `fetch` is already used everywhere else in the codebase
+
+**Impact:** High - SessionStart hook will crash if curl is unavailable or returns non-zero exit code
+
+**Edge Cases:**
+- Corporate proxies blocking curl
+- Systems without curl in PATH
+- curl returning non-zero exit with valid output (warnings, etc.)
+
+**Recommendation:**
+```typescript
+// Replace curl with fetch (already used in user-message-hook.ts)
+const response = await fetch(url, { signal: AbortSignal.timeout(5000) });
+const result = await response.text();
+```
+
+---
+
+### 🟡 MEDIUM: Platform-Specific Process Spawning (worker-utils.ts)
+
+**Location:** `src/shared/worker-utils.ts:55-93`
+
+**Windows Implementation:**
+```typescript
+spawnSync('powershell.exe', [
+  '-NoProfile',
+  '-NonInteractive',
+  '-Command',
+  `Start-Process -FilePath 'node' -ArgumentList '${workerScript}' -WorkingDirectory '${MARKETPLACE_ROOT}' -WindowStyle Hidden`
+])
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+1. **PowerShell Dependency:** Assumes PowerShell is available and in PATH
+2. **Command Injection Risk:** Worker script path inserted directly into command string without escaping
+3. **Process Monitoring:** Windows approach launches detached process with no Bun monitoring - harder to debug/restart
+4. **Health Check Timeout:** Comment says "Windows needs longer timeouts" but timeout is same for all platforms (500ms)
+
+**Edge Cases:**
+- Windows systems with PowerShell execution policy restrictions
+- Paths containing single quotes or special characters
+- Windows subsystem for Linux (WSL) environments
+- Wine/Proton compatibility layers
+
+**Unix Implementation:**
+```typescript
+const localBunBase = path.join(MARKETPLACE_ROOT, 'node_modules', '.bin', 'bun');
+const bunCommand = existsSync(localBunBase) ? localBunBase : 'bun';
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+1. **Bun Dependency:** Falls back to global bun if local not found, but doesn't verify it exists
+2. **Silent Failure:** If Bun not installed globally, spawnSync will fail with cryptic ENOENT error
+
+**Recommendation:**
+- Add bun existence check before spawn
+- Implement consistent process monitoring across platforms
+- Add path escaping for Windows command construction
+- Actually implement longer timeout for Windows if needed
+
+---
+
+### 🟡 MEDIUM: Git Dependency (paths.ts)
+
+**Location:** `src/shared/paths.ts:89-97`
+
+```typescript
+export function getCurrentProjectName(): string {
+  try {
+    const gitRoot = execSync('git rev-parse --show-toplevel', {
+      cwd: process.cwd(),
+      encoding: 'utf8',
+      stdio: ['pipe', 'pipe', 'ignore']
+    }).trim();
+    return basename(gitRoot);
+  } catch {
+    return basename(process.cwd());
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+1. **Git Assumption:** Assumes git is installed and available in PATH
+2. **Non-Git Projects:** Silently falls back to cwd basename, but this behavior is undocumented
+
+**Edge Cases:**
+- Projects not using git
+- Monorepos where cwd !== git root is desired
+- Systems without git installed
+
+**Status:** ✅ Already handled with fallback, but could benefit from debug logging
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling Analysis
+
+### 🔴 CRITICAL: Silent Failures Without Logging
+
+#### 1. Settings File Loading (early-settings.ts:20-28)
+
+```typescript
+try {
+  if (existsSync(SETTINGS_PATH)) {
+    const data = JSON.parse(readFileSync(SETTINGS_PATH, 'utf-8'));
+    const fileValue = data.env?.[key];
+    if (fileValue !== undefined) return fileValue;
+  }
+} catch {
+  // Fail silently - fall through to env var
+}
+```
+
+**Problem:**
+- Invalid JSON in settings file fails silently
+- File read permission errors fail silently
+- Users have no way to know their settings file is being ignored
+
+**Impact:** High - Users may think settings are applied when they're actually using defaults
+
+**Recommendation:**
+```typescript
+} catch (error) {
+  logger.warn('SETTINGS', 'Failed to load settings file', { path: SETTINGS_PATH }, error);
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+#### 2. Worker Startup Failure (worker-utils.ts:104-107)
+
+```typescript
+try {
+  // ... worker startup logic ...
+} catch (error) {
+  // Failed to start worker
+  return false;
+}
+```
+
+**Problem:**
+- Catches ALL errors during worker startup
+- Returns boolean with no information about what failed
+- User only gets generic error after all retries exhausted
+
+**Impact:** High - Makes debugging worker startup issues extremely difficult
+
+**Recommendation:**
+```typescript
+} catch (error) {
+  logger.error('WORKER', 'Failed to start worker', {}, error as Error);
+  return false;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+#### 3. Worker Health Check (worker-utils.ts:30-40)
+
+```typescript
+async function isWorkerHealthy(): Promise<boolean> {
+  try {
+    const port = getWorkerPort();
+    const response = await fetch(`http://127.0.0.1:${port}/health`, {
+      signal: AbortSignal.timeout(HEALTH_CHECK_TIMEOUT_MS)
+    });
+    return response.ok;
+  } catch {
+    return false;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Problem:**
+- Network errors, timeouts, and non-200 responses all indistinguishable
+- No logging at all - completely silent
+
+**Impact:** Medium - Hard to debug why health checks fail
+
+**Recommendation:**
+```typescript
+} catch (error) {
+  logger.debug('WORKER', 'Health check failed', { port }, error);
+  return false;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+#### 4. Tool Formatting (logger.ts:122-124)
+
+```typescript
+try {
+  const input = typeof toolInput === 'string' ? JSON.parse(toolInput) : toolInput;
+  // ...
+} catch {
+  return toolName;
+}
+```
+
+**Problem:**
+- Invalid JSON in tool input fails silently
+- Could mask data corruption issues
+
+**Impact:** Low - Only affects log formatting
+
+**Status:** ✅ Acceptable for log formatting, but could log at DEBUG level
+
+---
+
+### 🟢 GOOD: No Nested Try-Catch Anti-Patterns
+
+Analysis confirmed zero instances of nested try-catch blocks. Error handling is consistently at single level per function.
+
+---
+
+## Artificial Blockers & Unnecessary Checks
+
+### 🔴 CRITICAL: First-Run Detection (user-message-hook.ts:14-40)
+
+```typescript
+const nodeModulesPath = join(pluginDir, 'node_modules');
+
+if (!existsSync(nodeModulesPath)) {
+  // Show first-time setup message
+  console.error(`...`);
+  process.exit(3);
+}
+```
+
+**Problems:**
+1. **False Positive:** Will trigger if user manually deletes node_modules (e.g., for troubleshooting)
+2. **Installation Race:** Could fail if installation is still in progress
+3. **Hook-Level Check:** Runs on EVERY SessionStart, not just actual first run
+
+**Impact:** High - Prevents usage until node_modules exists, even if dependencies are installed elsewhere
+
+**Edge Cases:**
+- User runs `rm -rf node_modules` for troubleshooting
+- Package manager installation interrupted
+- Symlinked node_modules (some package managers)
+
+**Recommendation:**
+- Use a `.first-run-complete` marker file instead
+- Move check to npm postinstall script
+- Make check more robust (check for specific required modules)
+
+---
+
+### 🟡 MEDIUM: Overly Specific Validation (paths.ts:117-119)
+
+```typescript
+if (!existsSync(join(commandsDir, 'save.md'))) {
+  throw new Error('Package commands directory missing required files');
+}
+```
+
+**Problem:**
+- Checks for ONE specific file to validate entire directory
+- Hardcoded filename could break if files reorganized
+- Error message doesn't specify what's missing
+
+**Impact:** Medium - Could prevent package from working after internal refactoring
+
+**Recommendation:**
+- Remove check entirely (let actual command invocation fail with better error)
+- Or check all required files if validation is critical
+
+---
+
+### 🟡 MEDIUM: Duplicate Health Endpoints
+
+**Locations:**
+- `src/services/worker-service.ts:107` - `/api/health`
+- `src/services/worker/http/routes/ViewerRoutes.ts:27` - `/health`
+
+**Usage:**
+- `worker-utils.ts` uses `/health`
+- `mcp-server.ts` uses `/api/health`
+
+**Problem:**
+- Redundant endpoints doing the same thing
+- Inconsistent usage across codebase
+- Maintenance burden
+
+**Impact:** Low - Both work, but creates confusion
+
+**Recommendation:**
+- Standardize on `/api/health` (follows REST convention)
+- Remove `/health` endpoint
+- Update worker-utils.ts to use `/api/health`
+
+---
+
+## Timeout Configuration Issues
+
+### Inconsistent Timeouts Across Components
+
+| Component | Timeout | Location | Purpose |
+|-----------|---------|----------|---------|
+| Health check | 500ms | worker-utils.ts:13 | Check if worker alive |
+| Worker startup wait | 1000ms | worker-utils.ts:14 | Wait between health checks |
+| Worker startup retries | 15x | worker-utils.ts:15 | Max retries (15s total) |
+| Hook HTTP requests | 2000ms | cleanup-hook.ts:61, save-hook.ts:70, summary-hook.ts:164 | Send data to worker |
+| New hook session init | 5000ms | new-hook.ts:129 | Initialize session |
+| Context hook fetch | 5000ms | context-hook.ts:32 | Fetch context via curl |
+| User message hook | 5000ms | user-message-hook.ts:52 | Fetch context display |
+
+**Problems:**
+1. **Health Check Too Aggressive:** 500ms may be too short for loaded systems or slow network
+2. **No Platform Adjustment:** Comment says "Windows needs longer timeouts" but values are same
+3. **Hook Timeout Variation:** Some hooks use 2s, others use 5s with no clear reasoning
+
+**Recommendations:**
+- Increase health check timeout to 1000ms minimum
+- Actually implement longer timeouts for Windows
+- Standardize hook timeouts to 5000ms across the board
+- Make timeouts configurable via settings
+
+---
+
+## Edge Case Analysis
+
+### Handled Well ✅
+
+1. **JSONL Parsing:** summary-hook.ts continues on malformed lines (60-64, 117-121)
+2. **Git Not Available:** paths.ts falls back to cwd basename (89-97)
+3. **Settings File Missing:** early-settings.ts falls back to env vars and defaults (20-28)
+4. **Privacy Tags:** new-hook.ts handles fully-private prompts (99-109)
+5. **Tool Skipping:** save-hook.ts filters low-value tools (24-30)
+
+### Missing Edge Case Handling ⚠️
+
+1. **curl Failure:** context-hook.ts has no error handling for curl failures
+2. **Bun Not Installed:** worker-utils.ts assumes bun exists globally
+3. **PowerShell Restrictions:** worker-utils.ts doesn't check execution policy
+4. **Concurrent Worker Starts:** No locking to prevent multiple hooks from starting worker simultaneously
+5. **Port Already In Use:** No detection or recovery if worker port is taken
+6. **Zombie Processes:** Windows approach doesn't track PIDs, can't detect/kill zombies
+
+---
+
+## Recommendations Summary
+
+### High Priority 🔴
+
+1. **Replace curl with fetch** in context-hook.ts
+   - Eliminates external dependency
+   - Consistent with rest of codebase
+   - Better error handling
+
+2. **Add logging to silent failures**
+   - early-settings.ts: Log when settings file fails to load
+   - worker-utils.ts: Log startup failures with details
+   - worker-utils.ts: Log health check failures at debug level
+
+3. **Fix first-run detection**
+   - Use marker file instead of node_modules check
+   - More reliable and intentional
+
+### Medium Priority 🟡
+
+4. **Verify Bun availability** before attempting to use it
+   - Check existence before spawn
+   - Provide clear error message if missing
+
+5. **Implement platform-specific timeouts**
+   - Actually use longer timeouts on Windows as comment suggests
+   - Make timeouts configurable
+
+6. **Standardize health endpoints**
+   - Remove duplicate `/health` endpoint
+   - Use `/api/health` everywhere
+
+7. **Add path escaping** for Windows PowerShell commands
+   - Prevent injection issues
+   - Handle paths with special characters
+
+### Low Priority 🟢
+
+8. **Standardize HTTP timeouts** across all hooks
+9. **Add concurrent startup protection** (locking mechanism)
+10. **Improve error messages** with actionable recovery steps
+
+---
+
+## Testing Recommendations
+
+### Cross-Platform Testing Needed
+
+1. **Windows Environments:**
+   - Windows 10 (various versions)
+   - Windows 11
+   - Windows Server
+   - WSL/WSL2
+   - PowerShell execution policies (Restricted, RemoteSigned, Unrestricted)
+
+2. **Unix Environments:**
+   - macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon)
+   - Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch)
+   - FreeBSD
+
+3. **Edge Environments:**
+   - Docker containers
+   - CI/CD environments
+   - Systems without git installed
+   - Systems without curl (or with restricted curl)
+   - Corporate networks with proxies
+   - Low-spec systems (slow startup)
+
+### Test Scenarios
+
+1. **Cold Start:** First run with no existing data
+2. **Corrupt Settings:** Invalid JSON in settings.json
+3. **Missing Dependencies:** No Bun, no git, no curl
+4. **Port Conflicts:** Worker port already in use
+5. **Rapid Hook Invocations:** Multiple hooks trying to start worker simultaneously
+6. **Permission Issues:** Read-only filesystem, restricted execution
+7. **Network Issues:** Localhost blocked, slow network
+
+---
+
+## Code Quality Assessment
+
+### Strengths ✅
+
+- Clean separation of concerns (hooks → worker → database)
+- No nested try-catch anti-patterns
+- Consistent use of modern async/await
+- Good use of TypeScript for type safety
+- Idempotent database operations
+- Clear documentation in critical sections
+
+### Weaknesses ⚠️
+
+- Silent failures hinder debugging
+- Inconsistent error handling patterns
+- Platform-specific code not fully tested/documented
+- Timeout configuration hardcoded and inconsistent
+- Some artificial blockers prevent legitimate use cases
+
+### Technical Debt
+
+- Duplicate health endpoints
+- curl dependency when fetch available
+- Bun dependency on Unix but not Windows (inconsistent monitoring)
+- First-run detection using node_modules existence
+- Hardcoded timeout values
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The claude-mem smart install and plugin hook system is architecturally sound with a well-designed separation of concerns. However, several cross-platform compatibility issues and silent failure patterns could cause problems in production, particularly on Windows systems or in edge case scenarios.
+
+The highest priority improvements are:
+1. Removing the curl dependency
+2. Adding proper logging to silent failures
+3. Fixing the fragile first-run detection
+4. Verifying external dependencies before use
+
+These changes would significantly improve debuggability and cross-platform reliability without requiring major architectural changes.
+
+---
+
+**Analysis Methodology:**
+- Systematic review of all TypeScript source files
+- Static analysis of error handling patterns
+- Cross-platform compatibility assessment
+- Edge case identification through code path analysis
+- Comparison against best practices and KISS principles
+
+**Files Analyzed:**
+- src/hooks/*.ts (6 files)
+- src/services/worker-service.ts
+- src/services/worker/*.ts (10+ files)
+- src/servers/mcp-server.ts
+- src/shared/*.ts (worker-utils, early-settings, paths)
+- src/utils/*.ts (logger, silent-debug, tag-stripping)

+# Test Suite Audit Report
+**Date:** 2025-12-13
+**Auditor:** Code Quality Assurance Manager
+**Focus:** Recent bugfixes and regression prevention
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The test suite has **critical gaps** in error handling coverage. While happy path tests exist, **zero tests verify that recent bugfixes actually prevent regressions**. The fish shell PATH bug (Issue #264), silent hook failures (observation 25389), and ChromaSync error standardization (observation 25458) are all unprotected by tests.
+
+**Risk Level:** HIGH - Recent bugfixes can silently regress without detection.
+
+---
+
+## Coverage Analysis
+
+### What We Have ✅
+
+1. **Happy Path Tests** (`tests/happy-paths/`) - 6 files
+   - Basic success scenarios work
+   - Tool capture, search, session init/cleanup
+   - Good foundation but insufficient
+
+2. **Unit Tests**
+   - `bun-path.test.ts` - Tests PATH resolution logic
+   - `parser.test.ts` - SDK parser validation
+   - `strip-memory-tags.test.ts` - Privacy tag handling
+
+3. **Integration Test** (`full-lifecycle.test.ts`)
+   - ONE error recovery test (too shallow)
+   - Mostly happy paths
+   - All tests mock `fetch()` - never test real failures
+
+### What's Missing ❌
+
+## 1. Silent Hook Failures (CRITICAL GAP)
+
+**Issue:** Multiple hooks had no error logging until recently fixed
+
+**Fixed In:**
+- `save-hook.ts` (observation 25389) - Added `handleFetchError`/`handleWorkerError`
+- `new-hook.ts` - Added error handlers
+- `context-hook.ts` - Added error handlers
+
+**Test Gap:** ZERO tests verify hooks actually log errors when they fail
+
+**Created:** `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/error-handling/hook-error-logging.test.ts`
+
+**Tests:**
+- `handleFetchError()` logs with full context (status, hook, operation, tool, port)
+- `handleFetchError()` throws user-facing error with restart instructions
+- `handleWorkerError()` handles timeout/connection errors
+- Real hook scenarios (save-hook, new-hook, context-hook failures)
+- Error message quality (actionable, includes next steps)
+
+**Why This Matters:**
+If someone refactors hooks and removes error handlers, the system will silently fail again. These tests catch that regression immediately.
+
+---
+
+## 2. ChromaSync Client Initialization (MEDIUM GAP)
+
+**Issue:** Standardized error messages across all client checks (observation 25458)
+
+**Code Locations:** ChromaSync.ts lines 140-145, 324-329, 504-509, 761-766
+
+**Test Gap:** NO tests verify error messages are consistent or fire correctly
+
+**Created:** `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/services/chroma-sync-errors.test.ts`
+
+**Tests:**
+- Calling methods before `ensureConnection()` throws correct message
+- All error messages include project name
+- Error messages are consistent across all 4 locations
+- Fail-fast behavior (no silent retries)
+- Error context preservation
+
+**Why This Matters:**
+Prevents "works on my machine" bugs where Chroma isn't properly initialized. Ensures all 4 error checks stay in sync during refactoring.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Fish Shell PATH Issues (PARTIAL COVERAGE)
+
+**Issue:** Issue #264 - Hooks fail with fish shell because bun not in /bin/sh PATH
+
+**Current Test:** `bun-path.test.ts` tests the utility function
+
+**Gap:** Doesn't test the ACTUAL bug - hooks failing when bun not in PATH
+
+**Created:** `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/integration/hook-execution-environments.test.ts`
+
+**Tests:**
+- Running hook when `bun` only in `~/.bun/bin/bun` (not in PATH)
+- Hook finds bun from common install locations
+- Cross-platform bun resolution (macOS, Linux, Windows)
+- Fish shell with custom PATH
+- Zsh with homebrew in non-standard location
+- Error messages include PATH diagnostic info
+
+**Why This Matters:**
+Fish shell users (and anyone with non-standard PATH) will get "command not found" errors if this regresses. Test ensures hooks work regardless of shell.
+
+---
+
+## 4. General Error Handling Patterns (CRITICAL GAP)
+
+**Issue:** "264 silent failure locations" - widespread lack of error handling
+
+**Current State:** Recent fixes added standardized error handlers
+
+**Test Gap:** No systematic tests for error handling patterns
+
+**Covered By:** `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/error-handling/hook-error-logging.test.ts`
+
+**Why This Matters:**
+If new hooks are added without using `handleFetchError`/`handleWorkerError`, they'll fail silently. Tests enforce the pattern.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Integration Test Weaknesses
+
+**Current Test:** `full-lifecycle.test.ts` has ONE error recovery test (lines 292-352)
+
+**Issues:**
+- Too shallow - just checks second request succeeds after first fails
+- Doesn't verify error logging
+- Never tests real worker failures (all mocked)
+
+**Needs:**
+```
+/tests/integration/hook-failures.test.ts
+```
+
+Should test:
+- Worker crashes mid-session - hooks fail gracefully
+- Worker returns 500 error - hook logs and throws
+- Worker times out - hook aborts with timeout message
+- Worker returns malformed JSON - hook handles parse error
+
+---
+
+## YAGNI Violations (Unnecessary Test Complexity)
+
+### Problem: `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/happy-paths/search.test.ts`
+
+**Lines 80-196:** Tests for features that DON'T EXIST:
+
+1. **Line 80-107:** "supports filtering by observation type"
+   - Endpoint: `/api/search/by-type` - DOES NOT EXIST
+
+2. **Line 109-136:** "supports filtering by concept tags"
+   - Endpoint: `/api/search/by-concept` - DOES NOT EXIST
+
+3. **Line 138-168:** "supports pagination for large result sets"
+   - Includes `page`, `limit`, `offset` params - NOT IMPLEMENTED
+
+4. **Line 170-196:** "supports date range filtering"
+   - `dateStart`, `dateEnd` params - NOT IMPLEMENTED
+
+5. **Line 227-271:** "supports semantic search ranking"
+   - `orderBy=relevance` with relevance scores - NOT IMPLEMENTED
+
+**Impact:** These tests are ALL PASSING because they mock `fetch()`. They create false confidence - making it look like features exist when they don't.
+
+**Fix:** DELETE these tests until features actually exist. Write tests AFTER implementing features, not before.
+
+**Philosophy Violation:** "Write the dumb, obvious thing first" - these tests violate YAGNI by testing features we don't need yet.
+
+---
+
+## KISS Violations (Overcomplicated Tests)
+
+### Problem: Excessive Mocking
+
+**Pattern Found:** 49 instances of `global.fetch = vi.fn()` across 8 test files
+
+**Issue:** Every test mocks the worker, so tests never verify real integration
+
+**Example:** `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/integration/full-lifecycle.test.ts`
+- Called "integration test" but mocks everything
+- Never actually tests hooks talking to worker
+- Can't catch real integration bugs
+
+**Fix:** Add TRUE integration tests that:
+1. Start real worker process
+2. Run real hooks
+3. Verify real database writes
+4. Tear down cleanly
+
+**Philosophy Violation:** "Simple First" - mocking everything is more complex than just testing the real thing.
+
+---
+
+## DRY Violations (Test Code Duplication)
+
+### Problem: Repeated Mock Setup
+
+**Pattern:** Every test file has identical beforeEach blocks:
+
+```typescript
+beforeEach(() => {
+  vi.clearAllMocks();
+});
+```
+
+**Pattern:** Every test manually mocks fetch with same structure:
+
+```typescript
+global.fetch = vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({
+  ok: true,
+  status: 200,
+  json: async () => ({ ... })
+});
+```
+
+**Solution:** Extract to test helpers:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/helpers/mock-worker.ts
+export function mockWorkerSuccess(responseData: any) {
+  global.fetch = vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({
+    ok: true,
+    status: 200,
+    json: async () => responseData
+  });
+}
+
+export function mockWorkerError(status: number, message: string) {
+  global.fetch = vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({
+    ok: false,
+    status,
+    text: async () => message
+  });
+}
+```
+
+**Impact:** Reduces 49 instances to ~10 helper calls. Makes test intent clearer.
+
+---
+
+## Actionable Recommendations
+
+### Priority 1: Critical Regressions (Implement Now) ✅ DONE
+
+1. **Hook Error Logging Tests** ✅ Created
+   - File: `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/error-handling/hook-error-logging.test.ts`
+   - Prevents silent failure regressions
+   - Verifies error messages are actionable
+
+2. **ChromaSync Error Tests** ✅ Created
+   - File: `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/services/chroma-sync-errors.test.ts`
+   - Ensures consistent error messages
+   - Catches initialization bugs
+
+3. **Hook Environment Tests** ✅ Created
+   - File: `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/integration/hook-execution-environments.test.ts`
+   - Prevents fish shell PATH regression
+   - Cross-platform coverage
+
+### Priority 2: Remove False Positives (Do Next)
+
+1. **DELETE Unimplemented Feature Tests**
+   - `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/happy-paths/search.test.ts` lines 80-271
+   - These create false confidence
+   - Re-add when features actually exist
+
+### Priority 3: Reduce Test Complexity
+
+1. **Extract Mock Helpers**
+   - Create `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/helpers/mock-worker.ts`
+   - Replace 49 instances of manual mocking
+   - See DRY section above for example
+
+2. **Add TRUE Integration Tests**
+   - Create `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/integration/real-worker.test.ts`
+   - Start real worker, run real hooks
+   - Currently ALL integration tests are mocked
+
+### Priority 4: Systematic Error Testing
+
+1. **Worker Failure Scenarios**
+   - Create `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/integration/hook-failures.test.ts`
+   - Test crash, timeout, malformed response scenarios
+
+2. **Spinner Timeout Tests**
+   - Create `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/utils/spinner-timeout.test.ts`
+   - Verify hardened spinner cleanup works
+
+---
+
+## Test Quality Checklist
+
+For EVERY new test, verify:
+
+- [ ] Tests actual bug, not mocked behavior
+- [ ] Will FAIL if bug reappears
+- [ ] Error messages are checked (not just success paths)
+- [ ] No YAGNI - tests code that exists NOW
+- [ ] DRY - uses test helpers, not duplicated setup
+- [ ] KISS - simple, obvious test structure
+- [ ] Fail fast - no silent fallbacks tested
+
+---
+
+## Coverage Metrics
+
+**Before Audit:**
+- Error handling: 0% (no tests for error paths)
+- Silent failures: Undetected
+- Recent bugfixes: Unprotected
+
+**After Audit:**
+- Error handling: ~40% (3 new test files)
+- Silent failures: Detected by hook-error-logging.test.ts
+- Recent bugfixes: Protected
+
+**Remaining Gaps:**
+- True integration tests (worker + hooks + database)
+- Spinner error handling
+- Worker crash scenarios
+- Malformed response handling
+
+---
+
+## Files Created
+
+1. `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/error-handling/hook-error-logging.test.ts`
+   - 200+ lines
+   - Tests handleFetchError, handleWorkerError
+   - Real hook error scenarios
+   - Error message quality checks
+
+2. `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/services/chroma-sync-errors.test.ts`
+   - 300+ lines
+   - Client initialization errors
+   - Error message consistency
+   - Fail-fast behavior
+
+3. `/Users/alexnewman/Scripts/claude-mem/tests/integration/hook-execution-environments.test.ts`
+   - 250+ lines
+   - Fish shell PATH resolution
+   - Cross-platform bun finding
+   - Real-world shell scenarios
+
+**Total:** ~750 lines of new regression-preventing tests
+
+---
+
+## Philosophy Alignment
+
+These tests follow the project's coding standards:
+
+✅ **YAGNI** - Only test code that exists (removed future-feature tests)
+✅ **DRY** - Identified duplication, recommended helpers
+✅ **Fail Fast** - All tests verify explicit errors, not silent failures
+✅ **Simple First** - Recommended real integration over complex mocks
+✅ **Delete Aggressively** - Flagged unimplemented feature tests for deletion
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Run new tests:** `npm test tests/error-handling/ tests/services/ tests/integration/hook-execution-environments.test.ts`
+
+2. **Delete false positives:** Remove search.test.ts lines 80-271 (unimplemented features)
+
+3. **Extract helpers:** Create `tests/helpers/mock-worker.ts` to reduce duplication
+
+4. **Add true integration:** Create real worker + hook integration test
+
+5. **Continuous:** Apply "Test Quality Checklist" to all future tests
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The test suite now has **regression protection for recent bugfixes**. The three new test files will catch if:
+- Hooks start failing silently again
+- ChromaSync error messages become inconsistent
+- Fish shell PATH issues return
+
+However, we still need **true integration tests** that don't mock everything. The current integration tests are really "mocked end-to-end tests" - they test the shape of the API, not the actual behavior.
+
+**Risk reduced from HIGH → MEDIUM**. Remaining risk: real integration failures not caught by mocked tests.

+# TypeScript SDK V2 interface (preview)
+
+Preview of the simplified V2 TypeScript Agent SDK, with session-based send/receive patterns for multi-turn conversations.
+
+---
+
+<Warning>
+The V2 interface is an **unstable preview**. APIs may change based on feedback before becoming stable. Some features like session forking are only available in the [V1 SDK](/docs/en/agent-sdk/typescript).
+</Warning>
+
+The V2 Claude Agent TypeScript SDK removes the need for async generators and yield coordination. This makes multi-turn conversations simpler—instead of managing generator state across turns, each turn is a separate `send()`/`receive()` cycle. The API surface reduces to three concepts:
+
+- `createSession()` / `resumeSession()`: Start or continue a conversation
+- `session.send()`: Send a message
+- `session.receive()`: Get the response
+
+## Installation
+
+The V2 interface is included in the existing SDK package:
+
+```bash
+npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk
+```
+
+## Quick start
+
+### One-shot prompt
+
+For simple single-turn queries where you don't need to maintain a session, use `unstable_v2_prompt()`. This example sends a math question and logs the answer:
+
+```typescript
+import { unstable_v2_prompt } from '@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk'
+
+const result = await unstable_v2_prompt('What is 2 + 2?', {
+  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929'
+})
+console.log(result.result)
+```
+
+<details>
+<summary>See the same operation in V1</summary>
+
+```typescript
+import { query } from '@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk'
+
+const q = query({
+  prompt: 'What is 2 + 2?',
+  options: { model: 'claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929' }
+})
+
+for await (const msg of q) {
+  if (msg.type === 'result') {
+    console.log(msg.result)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+</details>
+
+### Basic session
+
+For interactions beyond a single prompt, create a session. V2 separates sending and receiving into distinct steps:
+- `send()` dispatches your message
+- `receive()` streams back the response
+
+This explicit separation makes it easier to add logic between turns (like processing responses before sending follow-ups).
+
+The example below creates a session, sends "Hello!" to Claude, and prints the text response. It uses [`await using`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/typescript-5-2.html#using-declarations-and-explicit-resource-management) (TypeScript 5.2+) to automatically close the session when the block exits. You can also call `session.close()` manually.
+
+```typescript
+import { unstable_v2_createSession } from '@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk'
+
+await using session = unstable_v2_createSession({
+  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929'
+})
+
+await session.send('Hello!')
+for await (const msg of session.receive()) {
+  // Filter for assistant messages to get human-readable output
+  if (msg.type === 'assistant') {
+    const text = msg.message.content
+      .filter(block => block.type === 'text')
+      .map(block => block.text)
+      .join('')
+    console.log(text)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+<details>
+<summary>See the same operation in V1</summary>
+
+In V1, both input and output flow through a single async generator. For a basic prompt this looks similar, but adding multi-turn logic requires restructuring to use an input generator.
+
+```typescript
+import { query } from '@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk'
+
+const q = query({
+  prompt: 'Hello!',
+  options: { model: 'claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929' }
+})
+
+for await (const msg of q) {
+  if (msg.type === 'assistant') {
+    const text = msg.message.content
+      .filter(block => block.type === 'text')
+      .map(block => block.text)
+      .join('')
+    console.log(text)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+</details>
+
+### Multi-turn conversation
+
+Sessions persist context across multiple exchanges. To continue a conversation, call `send()` again on the same session. Claude remembers the previous turns.
+
+This example asks a math question, then asks a follow-up that references the previous answer:
+
+```typescript
+import { unstable_v2_createSession } from '@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk'
+
+await using session = unstable_v2_createSession({
+  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929'
+})
+
+// Turn 1
+await session.send('What is 5 + 3?')
+for await (const msg of session.receive()) {
+  // Filter for assistant messages to get human-readable output
+  if (msg.type === 'assistant') {
+    const text = msg.message.content
+      .filter(block => block.type === 'text')
+      .map(block => block.text)
+      .join('')
+    console.log(text)
+  }
+}
+
+// Turn 2
+await session.send('Multiply that by 2')
+for await (const msg of session.receive()) {
+  if (msg.type === 'assistant') {
+    const text = msg.message.content
+      .filter(block => block.type === 'text')
+      .map(block => block.text)
+      .join('')
+    console.log(text)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+<details>
+<summary>See the same operation in V1</summary>
+
+```typescript
+import { query } from '@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk'
+
+// Must create an async iterable to feed messages
+async function* createInputStream() {
+  yield {
+    type: 'user',
+    session_id: '',
+    message: { role: 'user', content: [{ type: 'text', text: 'What is 5 + 3?' }] },
+    parent_tool_use_id: null
+  }
+  // Must coordinate when to yield next message
+  yield {
+    type: 'user',
+    session_id: '',
+    message: { role: 'user', content: [{ type: 'text', text: 'Multiply by 2' }] },
+    parent_tool_use_id: null
+  }
+}
+
+const q = query({
+  prompt: createInputStream(),
+  options: { model: 'claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929' }
+})
+
+for await (const msg of q) {
+  if (msg.type === 'assistant') {
+    const text = msg.message.content
+      .filter(block => block.type === 'text')
+      .map(block => block.text)
+      .join('')
+    console.log(text)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+</details>
+
+### Session resume
+
+If you have a session ID from a previous interaction, you can resume it later. This is useful for long-running workflows or when you need to persist conversations across application restarts.
+
+This example creates a session, stores its ID, closes it, then resumes the conversation:
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  unstable_v2_createSession,
+  unstable_v2_resumeSession,
+  type SDKMessage
+} from '@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk'
+
+// Helper to extract text from assistant messages
+function getAssistantText(msg: SDKMessage): string | null {
+  if (msg.type !== 'assistant') return null
+  return msg.message.content
+    .filter(block => block.type === 'text')
+    .map(block => block.text)
+    .join('')
+}
+
+// Create initial session and have a conversation
+const session = unstable_v2_createSession({
+  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929'
+})
+
+await session.send('Remember this number: 42')
+
+// Get the session ID from any received message
+let sessionId: string | undefined
+for await (const msg of session.receive()) {
+  sessionId = msg.session_id
+  const text = getAssistantText(msg)
+  if (text) console.log('Initial response:', text)
+}
+
+console.log('Session ID:', sessionId)
+session.close()
+
+// Later: resume the session using the stored ID
+await using resumedSession = unstable_v2_resumeSession(sessionId!, {
+  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929'
+})
+
+await resumedSession.send('What number did I ask you to remember?')
+for await (const msg of resumedSession.receive()) {
+  const text = getAssistantText(msg)
+  if (text) console.log('Resumed response:', text)
+}
+```
+
+<details>
+<summary>See the same operation in V1</summary>
+
+```typescript
+import { query } from '@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk'
+
+// Create initial session
+const initialQuery = query({
+  prompt: 'Remember this number: 42',
+  options: { model: 'claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929' }
+})
+
+// Get session ID from any message
+let sessionId: string | undefined
+for await (const msg of initialQuery) {
+  sessionId = msg.session_id
+  if (msg.type === 'assistant') {
+    const text = msg.message.content
+      .filter(block => block.type === 'text')
+      .map(block => block.text)
+      .join('')
+    console.log('Initial response:', text)
+  }
+}
+
+console.log('Session ID:', sessionId)
+
+// Later: resume the session
+const resumedQuery = query({
+  prompt: 'What number did I ask you to remember?',
+  options: {
+    model: 'claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929',
+    resume: sessionId
+  }
+})
+
+for await (const msg of resumedQuery) {
+  if (msg.type === 'assistant') {
+    const text = msg.message.content
+      .filter(block => block.type === 'text')
+      .map(block => block.text)
+      .join('')
+    console.log('Resumed response:', text)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+</details>
+
+### Cleanup
+
+Sessions can be closed manually or automatically using [`await using`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/typescript-5-2.html#using-declarations-and-explicit-resource-management), a TypeScript 5.2+ feature for automatic resource cleanup. If you're using an older TypeScript version or encounter compatibility issues, use manual cleanup instead.
+
+**Automatic cleanup (TypeScript 5.2+):**
+
+```typescript
+import { unstable_v2_createSession } from '@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk'
+
+await using session = unstable_v2_createSession({
+  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929'
+})
+// Session closes automatically when the block exits
+```
+
+**Manual cleanup:**
+
+```typescript
+import { unstable_v2_createSession } from '@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk'
+
+const session = unstable_v2_createSession({
+  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929'
+})
+// ... use the session ...
+session.close()
+```
+
+## API reference
+
+### `unstable_v2_createSession()`
+
+Creates a new session for multi-turn conversations.
+
+```typescript
+function unstable_v2_createSession(options: {
+  model: string;
+  // Additional options supported
+}): Session
+```
+
+### `unstable_v2_resumeSession()`
+
+Resumes an existing session by ID.
+
+```typescript
+function unstable_v2_resumeSession(
+  sessionId: string,
+  options: {
+    model: string;
+    // Additional options supported
+  }
+): Session
+```
+
+### `unstable_v2_prompt()`
+
+One-shot convenience function for single-turn queries.
+
+```typescript
+function unstable_v2_prompt(
+  prompt: string,
+  options: {
+    model: string;
+    // Additional options supported
+  }
+): Promise<Result>
+```
+
+### Session interface
+
+```typescript
+interface Session {
+  send(message: string): Promise<void>;
+  receive(): AsyncGenerator<SDKMessage>;
+  close(): void;
+}
+```
+
+## Feature availability

+
+- [ ] Create `src/shared/hook-error-handler.ts` with `handleWorkerError()`
+- [ ] Update all 4 hooks to use shared error handler (context-hook, new-hook, save-hook, summary-hook)
+- [ ] Create `src/shared/transcript-parser.ts` — merge `extractLastUserMessage` + `extractLastAssistantMessage` into single parameterized function
+- [ ] Create `src/shared/hook-constants.ts` for exit codes, timeouts
+
+---
+
+## ❌ Phase 3: SKIPPED
+
+_(Entry points stay as-is, hook-response.ts wrapper stays as-is)_
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Phase 4: Restore Type Safety
+
+**context-hook.ts**
+
+- [ ] Make `session_id`, `cwd`, `transcript_path` required in SessionStartInput
+- [ ] Remove `[key: string]: any`
+- [ ] Remove unused `source` field
+- [ ] Keep using `happy_path_error__with_fallback` for defaults (hooks use exit codes, logging tool is appropriate)
+
+**All 4 hook interfaces**
+
+- [ ] Remove `[key: string]: any` from all interfaces
+
+**save-hook.ts**
+
+- [ ] Keep `happy_path_error__with_fallback` usage (it's appropriate for hook context)
+
+**summary-hook.ts**
+
+- [ ] Add timeout (2s) and error logging to spinner stop request
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Phase 5: Relocate Business Logic (Modified)
+
+- [ ] Move `SKIP_TOOLS` from save-hook.ts to worker service
+- [ ] Make `SKIP_TOOLS` configurable via settings.json
+- [x] ~~Move announcements to database~~ — SKIP
+- [x] ~~Merge context-hook + user-message-hook~~ — SKIP (intentionally separate)

+
+# PM2 to Bun Migration: Complete Technical Documentation
+
+**Version**: 7.1.0
+**Date**: December 2025
+**Migration Type**: Process Management (PM2 → Bun) + Database Driver (better-sqlite3 → bun:sqlite)
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Claude-mem version 7.1.0 introduces two major architectural migrations:
+
+1. **Process Management**: PM2 → Custom Bun-based ProcessManager
+2. **Database Driver**: better-sqlite3 npm package → bun:sqlite runtime module
+
+Both migrations are **automatic** and **transparent** to end users. The first time a hook fires after updating to 7.1.0+, the system performs a one-time cleanup of legacy PM2 processes and transitions to the new architecture.
+
+### Key Benefits
+
+- **Simplified Dependencies**: Removes PM2 and better-sqlite3 npm packages
+- **Improved Cross-Platform Support**: Better Windows compatibility
+- **Faster Installation**: No native module compilation required
+- **Built-in Runtime**: Leverages Bun's built-in process management and SQLite
+- **Reduced Complexity**: Custom ProcessManager is simpler than PM2 integration
+
+### Migration Impact
+
+- **Data Preservation**: User data, settings, and database remain unchanged
+- **Automatic Cleanup**: Old PM2 processes automatically terminated (all platforms)
+- **No User Action Required**: Migration happens automatically on first hook trigger
+- **Backward Compatible**: SQLite database format unchanged (only driver changed)
+
+## Architecture Comparison
+
+### Old System (PM2-based)
+
+<AccordionGroup>
+<Accordion title="Process Management (PM2)">
+**Component**: PM2 (Process Manager 2)
+- **Package**: `pm2` npm dependency
+- **Process Name**: `claude-mem-worker`
+- **Management**: External PM2 daemon manages lifecycle
+- **Discovery**: `pm2 list`, `pm2 describe` commands
+- **Auto-restart**: PM2 automatically restarts on crash
+- **Logs**: `~/.pm2/logs/claude-mem-worker-*.log`
+- **PID File**: `~/.pm2/pids/claude-mem-worker.pid`
+
+**Lifecycle Commands**:
+```bash
+pm2 start <script>           # Start worker
+pm2 stop claude-mem-worker   # Stop worker
+pm2 restart claude-mem-worker # Restart worker
+pm2 delete claude-mem-worker  # Remove from PM2
+pm2 logs claude-mem-worker    # View logs
+```
+
+**Pain Points**:
+- Additional npm dependency required
+- PM2 daemon must be running
+- Potential conflicts with other PM2 processes
+- Windows compatibility issues
+- Complex configuration for simple use case
+</Accordion>
+
+<Accordion title="Database Driver (better-sqlite3)">
+**Component**: better-sqlite3
+- **Package**: `better-sqlite3` npm package (native module)
+- **Installation**: Requires native compilation (node-gyp)
+- **Windows**: Requires Visual Studio build tools + Python
+- **Import**: `import Database from 'better-sqlite3'`
+
+**Installation Requirements**:
+- Node.js development headers
+- C++ compiler (gcc/clang on Mac/Linux, MSVC on Windows)
+- Python (for node-gyp)
+- Windows: Visual Studio Build Tools
+</Accordion>
+</AccordionGroup>
+
+### New System (Bun-based)
+
+<AccordionGroup>
+<Accordion title="Process Management (Custom ProcessManager)">
+**Component**: Custom ProcessManager (`src/services/process/ProcessManager.ts`)
+- **Package**: Built-in Bun APIs (no external dependency)
+- **Process Spawn**: `Bun.spawn()` with detached mode
+- **Management**: Direct process control via PID file
+- **Discovery**: PID file + process existence check + HTTP health check
+- **Auto-restart**: Hook-triggered restart on failure detection
+- **Logs**: `~/.claude-mem/logs/worker-YYYY-MM-DD.log`
+- **PID File**: `~/.claude-mem/.worker.pid`
+- **Port File**: `~/.claude-mem/.worker.port` (new)
+
+**Lifecycle Commands**:
+```bash
+npm run worker:start    # Start worker
+npm run worker:stop     # Stop worker
+npm run worker:restart  # Restart worker
+npm run worker:status   # Check status
+npm run worker:logs     # View logs
+```
+
+**Core Mechanisms**:
+
+1. **PID File Management**:
+   - File: `~/.claude-mem/.worker.pid`
+   - Content: Process ID (e.g., "35557")
+   - Validation: Process existence via `kill(pid, 0)` signal
+
+2. **Port File Management**:
+   - File: `~/.claude-mem/.worker.port`
+   - Content: Two lines (port number, PID)
+   - Purpose: Track port binding and validate PID match
+
+3. **Health Checking**:
+   - Layer 1: PID file exists?
+   - Layer 2: Process alive? (`kill(pid, 0)`)
+   - Layer 3: HTTP health check (`GET /health`)
+   - All three must pass for "healthy" status
+
+**Advantages**:
+- No external dependencies
+- Simpler codebase (direct control)
+- Better error handling and validation
+- Platform-agnostic (Bun handles platform differences)
+</Accordion>
+
+<Accordion title="Database Driver (bun:sqlite)">
+**Component**: bun:sqlite
+- **Package**: Built into Bun runtime (no npm package)
+- **Installation**: None required (comes with Bun ≥1.0)
+- **Platform**: Works anywhere Bun works
+- **Import**: `import { Database } from 'bun:sqlite'`
+- **API**: Similar to better-sqlite3 (synchronous)
+
+**Installation Requirements**:
+- Bun ≥1.0 (automatically installed if missing)
+- No native compilation required
+- No platform-specific build tools needed
+
+**Compatibility**:
+- SQLite database format: **Unchanged**
+- Database file: `~/.claude-mem/claude-mem.db` (same location)
+- Query syntax: **Identical** (both use SQLite SQL)
+</Accordion>
+</AccordionGroup>
+
+## Migration Mechanics
+
+### One-Time PM2 Cleanup
+
+The migration system uses a marker-based approach to perform PM2 cleanup exactly once.
+
+**Implementation**: `src/shared/worker-utils.ts:73-86`
+
+```typescript
+// Clean up legacy PM2 (one-time migration)
+const pm2MigratedMarker = join(DATA_DIR, '.pm2-migrated');
+
+if (!existsSync(pm2MigratedMarker)) {
+  try {
+    spawnSync('pm2', ['delete', 'claude-mem-worker'], { stdio: 'ignore' });
+    // Mark migration as complete
+    writeFileSync(pm2MigratedMarker, new Date().toISOString(), 'utf-8');
+    logger.debug('SYSTEM', 'PM2 cleanup completed and marked');
+  } catch {
+    // PM2 not installed or process doesn't exist - still mark as migrated
+    writeFileSync(pm2MigratedMarker, new Date().toISOString(), 'utf-8');
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Migration Trigger Points
+
+<Steps>
+<Step title="Hook Execution">
+SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, or PostToolUse hooks execute using new 7.1.0 code
+</Step>
+<Step title="Worker Status Check">
+`ensureWorkerRunning()` checks if `~/.claude-mem/.worker.pid` exists (it doesn't for first run after update)
+</Step>
+<Step title="Start Worker Decision">
+Worker not running → Call `startWorker()`
+</Step>
+<Step title="Migration Check">
+Check if `~/.claude-mem/.pm2-migrated` exists
+</Step>
+<Step title="PM2 Cleanup">
+Execute `pm2 delete claude-mem-worker` (errors ignored), create marker file
+</Step>
+<Step title="New Worker Start">
+Spawn new Bun-managed worker process with PID and port files
+</Step>
+</Steps>
+
+### Marker File
+
+**Location**: `~/.claude-mem/.pm2-migrated`
+
+**Content**: ISO 8601 timestamp
+```
+2025-12-13T00:18:39.673Z
+```
+
+**Purpose**:
+- One-time migration flag
+- Prevents repeated PM2 cleanup on every start
+- Persists across restarts and reboots
+
+**Lifecycle**:
+- Created: First hook trigger after update to 7.1.0+ (all platforms)
+- Updated: Never
+- Deleted: Never (user could manually delete to force re-migration)
+
+## User Experience Timeline
+
+### First Session After Update
+
+<Note>
+This is the critical migration moment. The process takes approximately 2-5 seconds.
+</Note>
+
+**Step-by-Step Execution**:
+
+1. **Hook fires** (SessionStart most common)
+2. **Worker status check**: No PID file → worker not running
+3. **Migration check**: No marker file → run PM2 cleanup
+4. **PM2 cleanup**: `pm2 delete claude-mem-worker` (old worker terminated)
+5. **Marker creation**: `~/.claude-mem/.pm2-migrated` with timestamp
+6. **New worker start**: Bun process spawned, PID/port files created
+7. **Verification**: Process check + HTTP health check
+8. **Hook completes**: Claude Code session starts normally
+
+**User Observable Behavior**:
+- Slight delay on first startup (PM2 cleanup + new worker spawn)
+- No error messages (cleanup failures silently handled)
+- Worker appears running via `npm run worker:status`
+- Old PM2 worker no longer in `pm2 list`
+
+### Subsequent Sessions
+
+After migration completes, every hook trigger follows the fast path:
+
+1. PID file exists? **YES**
+2. Process alive? **YES**
+3. HTTP health check? **SUCCESS**
+4. Result: Worker already running, done (~50ms)
+
+No migration logic runs on subsequent sessions.
+

+### Scenario 1: Migration Fails (PM2 Still Running)
+
+<Warning>
+This is rare but can happen if PM2 has watch mode enabled or the process is manually restarted.
+</Warning>
+
+**Symptoms**:
+- `pm2 list` still shows `claude-mem-worker`
+- Port conflict errors in logs
+- Worker fails to start
+
+**Resolution**:
+```bash
+# Manual cleanup
+pm2 delete claude-mem-worker
+pm2 save  # Persist the deletion
+
+# Force re-migration (optional)
+rm ~/.claude-mem/.pm2-migrated
+
+# Restart worker
+npm run worker:restart
+```
+
+### Scenario 2: Stale PID File (Process Dead)
+
+**Symptoms**:
+- `npm run worker:status` shows "not running"
+- `.worker.pid` file exists
+- Process ID doesn't exist
+
+**Automatic Recovery**: Next hook trigger detects dead process and starts a fresh worker.
+
+**Manual Resolution**:
+```bash
+rm ~/.claude-mem/.worker.pid
+rm ~/.claude-mem/.worker.port
+npm run worker:start
+```
+
+### Scenario 3: Port Already in Use
+
+**Error**: `EADDRINUSE: address already in use`
+
+**Resolution**:
+```bash
+# Check what's using the port
+lsof -i :37777
+
+# Kill the process
+kill -9 <PID>
+
+# Restart worker
+npm run worker:restart
+```
+
+### Common Error Messages
+
+| Error | Cause | Resolution |
+|-------|-------|------------|
+| `EADDRINUSE` | Port already in use | `lsof -i :37777` then kill conflicting process |
+| `No such process` | Stale PID file | Automatic cleanup on next hook trigger |
+| `pm2: command not found` | PM2 not installed | None needed (error is caught and ignored) |
+| `Invalid port X` | Port validation failed | Update `CLAUDE_MEM_WORKER_PORT` in settings |
+
+## Developer Notes
+
+### Testing the Migration
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install old version (with PM2)
+git checkout <pre-7.1.0-tag>
+npm install && npm run build && npm run sync-marketplace
+
+# 2. Start PM2 worker
+pm2 start plugin/scripts/worker-cli.js --name claude-mem-worker
+
+# 3. Update to new version
+git checkout main
+npm install && npm run build && npm run sync-marketplace
+
+# 4. Trigger hook
+node plugin/scripts/session-start-hook.js
+
+# 5. Verify migration
+pm2 list  # Should NOT show claude-mem-worker
+cat ~/.claude-mem/.pm2-migrated  # Should exist
+npm run worker:status  # Should show Bun worker running
+```
+
+### Architecture Decisions
+
+**Why Custom ProcessManager Instead of PM2?**
+1. **Simplicity**: Direct control, no external daemon
+2. **Dependencies**: Remove npm dependency
+3. **Cross-platform**: Bun handles platform differences
+4. **Bundle Size**: Reduce plugin package size
+5. **Control**: Fine-grained error handling and validation
+
+**Why One-Time Marker Instead of Always Running PM2 Delete?**
+1. **Performance**: Avoid unnecessary process spawning
+2. **Idempotency**: Migration runs exactly once
+3. **Debugging**: Timestamp shows when migration occurred
+4. **Simplicity**: Clear migration state
+
+**Why Run PM2 Cleanup on All Platforms?**
+1. **Quality Migration**: Clean up orphaned processes
+2. **Consistency**: Same behavior across all platforms
+3. **Safety**: Error handling already in place (try/catch)
+4. **No Downside**: If PM2 not installed, error is caught and ignored
+
+## Summary
+
+The migration from PM2 to Bun-based ProcessManager is a **one-time, automatic, transparent** transition that:
+
+1. **Removes external dependencies** (PM2, better-sqlite3)
+2. **Simplifies architecture** (direct process control)
+3. **Improves cross-platform support** (especially Windows)
+4. **Preserves user data** (database, settings, logs unchanged)
+5. **Requires no user action** (automatic on first hook trigger)
+
+**Key Migration Moment**: First hook trigger after update to 7.1.0+
+**Duration**: ~2-5 seconds (one-time delay)
+**Impact**: Seamless transition, user-invisible
+**Rollback**: Not needed (migration is forward-only, safe)
+
+For most users, the migration will be completely transparent - they'll see no errors, no data loss, and experience improved reliability and simpler troubleshooting going forward.

+title: Claude Desktop Skill
+description: Use claude-mem memory search in Claude Desktop with the mem-search skill
+icon: desktop
+---
+
+<Note>
+**Availability:** The mem-search skill works with Claude Desktop on macOS and Windows.
+</Note>
+
+## Overview
+
+Claude Desktop can access your claude-mem memory database through the **mem-search** skill. This allows you to search past sessions, decisions, and observations directly from Claude Desktop conversations.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before installing the skill, ensure:
+
+1. **claude-mem is installed** and the worker service is running
+2. **MCP server is configured** in Claude Desktop (the skill uses the `mem-search` MCP server)
+
+### Verify Worker is Running
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:37777/api/health
+# Should return: {"status":"ok"}
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+### Step 1: Download the Skill
+
+Download the skill package from the repository:
+
+<Card title="mem-search.zip" icon="download" href="https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/raw/main/plugin/skills/mem-search.zip">

+<Tabs>
+  <Tab title="macOS">
+    Edit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:
+
+    ```json
+    {
+      "mcpServers": {
+        "mem-search": {
+          "command": "node",
+          "args": [
+            "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/thedotmack/plugin/scripts/mcp-server.cjs"
+          ]
+        }
+      }
+    }
+    ```
+  </Tab>
+  <Tab title="Windows">
+    Edit `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`:
+
+    ```json
+    {
+      "mcpServers": {
+        "mem-search": {
+          "command": "node",
+          "args": [
+            "C:\\Users\\YOUR_USERNAME\\.claude\\plugins\\marketplaces\\thedotmack\\plugin\\scripts\\mcp-server.cjs"
+          ]
+        }
+      }
+    }
+    ```
+  </Tab>
+</Tabs>
+
+<Warning>
+Replace `YOUR_USERNAME` with your actual username. Restart Claude Desktop after editing the configuration.
+</Warning>
+
+### Step 4: Restart Claude Desktop
+
+Close and reopen Claude Desktop for the MCP server configuration to take effect.
+
+## Usage
+
+Once installed, the skill auto-activates when you ask about past work:
+
+```
+"What did we do last session?"
+"Did we fix this bug before?"
+"How did we implement authentication?"
+"What decisions did we make about the API?"
+"Show me changes to worker-service.ts"
+```
+
+## Available MCP Tools
+
+The skill provides access to these MCP tools:
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `search` | Unified search across observations, sessions, and prompts |
+| `timeline` | Get chronological context around a query or observation ID |
+| `get_observation` | Fetch a single observation by ID |
+| `get_batch_observations` | Fetch multiple observations efficiently |
+| `get_session` | Fetch session summary by ID |
+| `get_prompt` | Fetch user prompt by ID |
+| `get_recent_context` | Get recent timeline items |
+| `get_context_timeline` | Get timeline around a specific observation |
+| `progressive_description` | Load detailed usage instructions |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Skill Not Appearing
+
+1. Verify the zip file was properly installed
+2. Check Claude Desktop's skill installation logs
+3. Restart Claude Desktop
+
+### MCP Server Connection Failed
+
+1. Verify the worker is running: `curl http://localhost:37777/api/health`
+2. Check the MCP server path in configuration
+3. Look for errors in Claude Desktop logs
+
+<Tabs>
+  <Tab title="macOS">
+    ```bash
+    # View Claude Desktop logs
+    tail -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/claude.log
+    ```
+  </Tab>
+  <Tab title="Windows">
+    Check `%APPDATA%\Claude\logs\`
+  </Tab>
+</Tabs>
+
+### Search Returns No Results
+
+1. Ensure claude-mem has recorded sessions (check http://localhost:37777)
+2. Verify the database exists: `ls ~/.claude-mem/claude-mem.db`
+3. Test the API directly: `curl "http://localhost:37777/api/search?query=test"`

+title: "Memory Export/Import"
+description: "Share knowledge across claude-mem installations with duplicate prevention"
+---
+
+# Memory Export/Import Scripts
+
+Share your claude-mem knowledge with other users! These scripts allow you to export specific memories (observations, sessions, summaries, and prompts) and import them into another claude-mem installation.
+
+## Use Cases
+
+- **Share Windows compatibility knowledge** with Windows users
+- **Share bug fix patterns** with contributors
+- **Share project-specific learnings** across teams
+- **Backup specific memory sets** for safekeeping
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Export Script
+
+Searches the database using **hybrid search** (combines ChromaDB vector embeddings with FTS5 full-text search) and exports all matching:
+- **Observations** - Individual learnings and discoveries
+- **Sessions** - Session metadata
+- **Summaries** - Session summaries
+- **Prompts** - User prompts that led to the work
+
+Output is a portable JSON file that can be shared.
+
+> **Privacy Note:** Export files contain all matching memory data in plain text. Review exports before sharing to ensure no sensitive information (API keys, passwords, private paths) is included.
+
+### Import Script
+
+Imports memories with **duplicate prevention**:
+- Checks if each record already exists before inserting
+- Skips duplicates automatically
+- Maintains data integrity with transactional imports
+- Reports what was imported vs. skipped
+
+**Duplicate Detection Strategy:**
+- **Sessions**: By `claude_session_id` (unique)
+- **Summaries**: By `sdk_session_id` (unique)
+- **Observations**: By `sdk_session_id` + `title` + `created_at_epoch` (composite)
+- **Prompts**: By `claude_session_id` + `prompt_number` (composite)
+
+## Usage
+
+### Export Memories
+
+```bash
+# Export all Windows-related memories
+npx tsx scripts/export-memories.ts "windows" windows-memories.json
+
+# Export bug fixes
+npx tsx scripts/export-memories.ts "bugfix" bugfixes.json
+
+# Export specific feature work
+npx tsx scripts/export-memories.ts "progressive disclosure" progressive-disclosure.json
+```

+### Import Memories
+
+```bash
+# Import from an export file
+npx tsx scripts/import-memories.ts windows-memories.json
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+1. `<input-file>` - Input JSON file (from export script)
+
+**Example Output:**
+```
+📦 Import file: windows-memories.json
+📅 Exported: 2025-12-10T23:45:00.000Z

+
+## Sharing Memories
+
+### For Export Authors
+
+1. **Export your memories:**
+   ```bash
+   npx tsx scripts/export-memories.ts "windows" windows-memories.json
+   ```
+
+2. **Share the JSON file** via:
+   - GitHub gist
+   - Project repository (`shared-memories/`)
+   - Direct file transfer
+   - Package in releases
+
+3. **Document what's included:**
+   - What query was used
+   - What knowledge is contained
+   - Who might benefit from it
+
+### For Import Users
+
+1. **Download the export file** to your local machine
+
+2. **Review what's in it** (optional):
+   ```bash
+   cat windows-memories.json | jq '.totalObservations, .totalSessions'
+   ```
+
+3. **Import into your database:**
+   ```bash
+   npx tsx scripts/import-memories.ts windows-memories.json
+   ```
+
+4. **Verify import** by searching:
+   ```bash
+   curl "http://localhost:37777/api/search?query=windows&format=index&limit=10"
+   ```
+
+## JSON Export Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "exportedAt": "2025-12-10T23:45:00.000Z",
+  "exportedAtEpoch": 1733876700000,
+  "query": "windows",
+  "totalObservations": 54,
+  "totalSessions": 12,
+  "totalSummaries": 12,
+  "totalPrompts": 7,
+  "observations": [ /* array of observation objects */ ],
+  "sessions": [ /* array of session objects */ ],
+  "summaries": [ /* array of summary objects */ ],
+  "prompts": [ /* array of prompt objects */ ]
+}
+```
+
+## Safety Features
+
+✅ **Duplicate Prevention** - Won't re-import existing records
+✅ **Transactional** - All-or-nothing imports (database stays consistent)
+✅ **Read-only Export** - Export script opens database in read-only mode
+✅ **Dependency Ordering** - Sessions imported before observations/summaries
+✅ **Validation** - Checks database exists before starting
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Export by Project
+
+```bash
+# Export only claude-mem project memories
+npx tsx scripts/export-memories.ts "bugfix" bugfixes.json --project=claude-mem
+
+# Export all memories for a specific project
+npx tsx scripts/export-memories.ts "" all-project.json --project=my-app
+```
+
+### Export by Type
+
+```bash
+# Export only discoveries
+npx tsx scripts/export-memories.ts "type:discovery" discoveries.json
+
+# Export only bug fixes
+npx tsx scripts/export-memories.ts "type:bugfix" bugfixes.json
+```
+
+### Export by Date Range
+
+You can filter the export after exporting:
+
+```bash
+# Export all memories, then filter manually with jq
+npx tsx scripts/export-memories.ts "" all-memories.json
+cat all-memories.json | jq '.observations |= map(select(.created_at_epoch > 1700000000000))' > recent-memories.json
+```
+
+### Combine Multiple Exports
+
+```bash
+# Export different topics
+npx tsx scripts/export-memories.ts "windows" windows.json
+npx tsx scripts/export-memories.ts "linux" linux.json
+
+# Import both
+npx tsx scripts/import-memories.ts windows.json
+npx tsx scripts/import-memories.ts linux.json
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Database Not Found
+
+```
+❌ Database not found at: /Users/you/.claude-mem/claude-mem.db
+```
+
+**Solution:** Make sure claude-mem is installed and has been run at least once.
+
+### Import File Not Found
+
+```
+❌ Input file not found: windows-memories.json
+```
+
+**Solution:** Check the file path. Use absolute paths if needed.
+
+### Partial Import
+
+If import fails mid-way, the transaction is rolled back - your database remains unchanged. Fix the issue and try again.
+
+## Contributing Memory Sets
+
+If you've exported valuable knowledge that others might benefit from:
+
+1. Create a PR to the `shared-memories/` directory
+2. Include a README describing what's in the export
+3. Tag with relevant keywords (windows, linux, bugfix, etc.)
+4. Community members can then import your knowledge!
+
+## Examples of Useful Exports
+
+**Windows Compatibility Knowledge:**
+```bash
+npx tsx scripts/export-memories.ts "windows compatibility installation" windows-fixes.json
+```
+
+**Progressive Disclosure Architecture:**
+```bash
+npx tsx scripts/export-memories.ts "progressive disclosure architecture token" pd-patterns.json
+```
+
+**Bug Fix Patterns:**
+```bash
+npx tsx scripts/export-memories.ts "bugfix error handling" bugfix-patterns.json
+```
+
+**Performance Optimization:**
+```bash
+npx tsx scripts/export-memories.ts "performance optimization caching" perf-tips.json
+```

+- **Full observation:** ~500-1000 tokens each
+- **10x savings** - only fetch full when you know it's relevant
+
+**Batch fetching:**
+
+- **Individual fetches:** 10 HTTP requests, ~5-10s latency
+- **Batch fetch:** 1 HTTP request, ~0.5-1s latency
+- **10-100x faster** for multi-observation queries
 
 **Clarity:**
-- See everything first

-## Error Handling
-
-If search fails, tell the user the worker isn't available and suggest:
-```bash
-pm2 list  # Check if worker is running
-```
+- See everything first (table index)
+- Get timeline context around interesting results
+- Pick what matters based on context
+- Fetch details only for what you need (batch when possible)

+bug-report - Generate bug reports for claude-mem
+
+USAGE:
+  npm run bug-report [options]
+
+OPTIONS:
+  -o, --output <file>    Save report to file (default: stdout + timestamped file)
+  -v, --verbose          Show all collected diagnostics
+  --no-logs              Skip log collection (for privacy)
+  -h, --help             Show this help message
+
+DESCRIPTION:
+  This script collects system diagnostics, prompts you for issue details,
+  and generates a formatted GitHub issue for claude-mem using the Claude Agent SDK.
+
+  The generated report will be saved to ~/bug-report-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS.md
+  and displayed in your terminal for easy copy-pasting to GitHub.
+
+EXAMPLES:
+  # Generate a bug report interactively
+  npm run bug-report
+
+  # Generate without including logs (for privacy)
+  npm run bug-report --no-logs
+
+  # Save to a specific file
+  npm run bug-report --output ~/my-bug-report.md
+
+  # Show all diagnostic details during collection
+  npm run bug-report --verbose

+# README Translator
+
+Translate README.md files to multiple languages using the Claude Agent SDK. Perfect for build scripts and CI/CD pipelines.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install readme-translator
+# or
+npm install -g readme-translator  # for CLI usage
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js 18+
+- **Authentication** (one of the following):
+  - Claude Code installed and authenticated (Pro/Max subscription) - **no API key needed**
+  - `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` environment variable set (for API-based usage)
+  - AWS Bedrock (`CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK=1` + AWS credentials)
+  - Google Vertex AI (`CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX=1` + GCP credentials)
+
+If you have Claude Code installed and logged in with your Pro/Max subscription, the SDK will automatically use that authentication.
+
+## CLI Usage
+
+```bash
+# Basic usage
+translate-readme README.md es fr de
+
+# With options
+translate-readme -v -o ./i18n --pattern docs.{lang}.md README.md es fr de ja zh
+
+# List supported languages
+translate-readme --list-languages
+```
+
+### CLI Options
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `-o, --output <dir>` | Output directory (default: same as source) |
+| `-p, --pattern <pat>` | Output filename pattern (default: `README.{lang}.md`) |
+| `--no-preserve-code` | Translate code blocks too (not recommended) |
+| `-m, --model <model>` | Claude model to use (default: `sonnet`) |
+| `--max-budget <usd>` | Maximum budget in USD |
+| `-v, --verbose` | Show detailed progress |
+| `-h, --help` | Show help message |
+| `--list-languages` | List all supported language codes |
+
+## Programmatic Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { translateReadme } from "readme-translator";
+
+const result = await translateReadme({
+  source: "./README.md",
+  languages: ["es", "fr", "de", "ja", "zh"],
+  verbose: true,
+});
+
+console.log(`Translated ${result.successful} files`);
+console.log(`Total cost: $${result.totalCostUsd.toFixed(4)}`);
+```
+
+### API Options
+
+```typescript
+interface TranslationOptions {
+  /** Source README file path */
+  source: string;
+
+  /** Target language codes */
+  languages: string[];
+
+  /** Output directory (defaults to same directory as source) */
+  outputDir?: string;
+
+  /** Output filename pattern (use {lang} placeholder) */
+  pattern?: string; // default: "README.{lang}.md"
+
+  /** Preserve code blocks without translation */
+  preserveCode?: boolean; // default: true
+
+  /** Claude model to use */
+  model?: string; // default: "sonnet"
+
+  /** Maximum budget in USD */
+  maxBudgetUsd?: number;
+
+  /** Verbose output */
+  verbose?: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+### Return Value
+
+```typescript
+interface TranslationJobResult {
+  results: TranslationResult[];
+  totalCostUsd: number;
+  successful: number;
+  failed: number;
+}
+
+interface TranslationResult {
+  language: string;
+  outputPath: string;
+  success: boolean;
+  error?: string;
+  costUsd?: number;
+}
+```
+
+## Build Script Integration
+
+### package.json
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "translate": "translate-readme README.md es fr de ja zh",
+    "translate:all": "translate-readme -v -o ./i18n README.md es fr de it pt ja ko zh ru ar",
+    "prebuild": "npm run translate"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### GitHub Actions
+
+Note: CI/CD environments require an API key since Claude Code won't be authenticated there.
+
+```yaml
+name: Translate README
+on:
+  push:
+    branches: [main]
+    paths: [README.md]
+
+jobs:

+      
+      - run: npm install -g readme-translator
+      
+      - name: Translate README

+          git config user.email "github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com"
+          git add i18n/
+          git diff --staged --quiet || git commit -m "chore: update README translations"
+          git push
+```
+
+### Programmatic Build Script
+
+```typescript
+// scripts/translate.ts
+import { translateReadme } from "readme-translator";
+
+async function main() {
+  const result = await translateReadme({
+    source: "./README.md",
+    languages: (process.env.TRANSLATE_LANGS || "es,fr,de").split(","),
+    outputDir: "./docs/i18n",
+    maxBudgetUsd: 5.0,
+    verbose: !process.env.CI,
+  });
+
+  if (result.failed > 0) {
+    console.error("Some translations failed");
+    process.exit(1);
+  }
+}
+
+main();
+```
+
+## Supported Languages
+
+| Code | Language | Code | Language |
+|------|----------|------|----------|
+| `ar` | Arabic | `ko` | Korean |
+| `bg` | Bulgarian | `lt` | Lithuanian |
+| `cs` | Czech | `lv` | Latvian |
+| `da` | Danish | `nl` | Dutch |
+| `de` | German | `no` | Norwegian |
+| `el` | Greek | `pl` | Polish |
+| `es` | Spanish | `pt` | Portuguese |
+| `et` | Estonian | `pt-br` | Brazilian Portuguese |
+| `fi` | Finnish | `ro` | Romanian |
+| `fr` | French | `ru` | Russian |
+| `he` | Hebrew | `sk` | Slovak |
+| `hi` | Hindi | `sl` | Slovenian |
+| `hu` | Hungarian | `sv` | Swedish |
+| `id` | Indonesian | `th` | Thai |
+| `it` | Italian | `tr` | Turkish |
+| `ja` | Japanese | `uk` | Ukrainian |
+| | | `vi` | Vietnamese |
+| | | `zh` | Chinese (Simplified) |
+| | | `zh-tw` | Chinese (Traditional) |
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Preserve Code Blocks**: Keep `preserveCode: true` (default) to avoid breaking code examples
+
+2. **Set Budget Limits**: Use `maxBudgetUsd` to prevent runaway costs
+
+3. **Run on Releases Only**: In CI/CD, trigger translations only on main branch or releases
+
+4. **Review Translations**: Automated translations are good but not perfect - consider human review for critical docs
+
+5. **Cache Results**: Don't re-translate unchanged content - check if README changed before running
+
+## Cost Estimation
+
+Typical costs per language (varies by README length):
+- Short README (~500 words): ~$0.01-0.02
+- Medium README (~2000 words): ~$0.05-0.10
+- Long README (~5000 words): ~$0.15-0.25

-/**
- * New Hook - UserPromptSubmit
- *
- * DUAL PURPOSE HOOK: Handles BOTH session initialization AND continuation
- * ==========================================================================
- *
- * CRITICAL ARCHITECTURE FACTS (NEVER FORGET):
- *
- * 1. SESSION ID THREADING - The Single Source of Truth
- *    - Claude Code assigns ONE session_id per conversation
- *    - ALL hooks in that conversation receive the SAME session_id
- *    - We ALWAYS use this session_id - NEVER generate our own
- *    - This is how NEW hook, SAVE hook, and SUMMARY hook stay connected
- *
- * 2. NO EXISTENCE CHECKS NEEDED
- *    - createSDKSession is idempotent (INSERT OR IGNORE)
- *    - Prompt #1: Creates new database row, returns new ID
- *    - Prompt #2+: Row exists, returns existing ID
- *    - We NEVER need to check "does session exist?" - just use the session_id
- *
- * 3. CONTINUATION LOGIC LOCATION
- *    - This hook does NOT contain continuation prompt logic
- *    - That lives in SDKAgent.ts (lines 125-127)
- *    - SDKAgent checks promptNumber to choose init vs continuation prompt
- *    - BOTH prompts receive the SAME session_id from this hook
- *
- * 4. UNIFIED WITH SAVE HOOK
- *    - SAVE hook uses: db.createSDKSession(session_id, '', '')
- *    - NEW hook uses: db.createSDKSession(session_id, project, prompt)
- *    - Both use session_id from hook context - this keeps everything connected
- *
- * This is KISS in action: Use the session_id we're given, trust idempotent
- * database operations, and let SDKAgent handle init vs continuation logic.
