+## [7.1.13] - 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
+
+### 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
+
+### Files Changed
+
+27 files changed: 1,435 additions, 200 deletions
+
+**What's Changed**
+* Standardize and enhance error handling across hooks and worker service by @thedotmack in #295
+* Timezone-aware logging for worker service
+
+**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/compare/v7.1.12...v7.1.13
+
+## [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
+
+**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/compare/v7.1.11...v7.1.12
+
+## [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.
+

+
+**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/compare/v7.1.9...v7.1.10
+
+## [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.

+**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/compare/v7.1.8...v7.1.9
+
+## [7.1.8] - 2025-12-13
+
+## Memory Export/Import Scripts
+
+Added portable memory export and import functionality with automatic duplicate prevention.
+
+### New Features
+- **Export memories** to JSON format with search filtering and project-based filtering
+- **Import memories** with automatic duplicate detection via composite keys
+- Complete documentation in docs/public/usage/export-import.mdx
+
+### Use Cases
+- Share memory sets between developers working on the same project

+
+## [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

+
+## [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

+**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.

+# 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

+   - 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.

+
+# 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)

+- **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)

+## 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.
+

+
+### File Location Changes
+
+**Logs**:
+```
+Old: ~/.pm2/logs/claude-mem-worker-out.log
+     ~/.pm2/logs/claude-mem-worker-error.log
+
+New: ~/.claude-mem/logs/worker-YYYY-MM-DD.log
+```
+
+**PID Files**:
+```
+Old: ~/.pm2/pids/claude-mem-worker.pid
+
+New: ~/.claude-mem/.worker.pid
+```
+
+**Process State**:
+```
+Old: PM2 daemon memory (pm2 save)
+
+New: ~/.claude-mem/.worker.pid
+     ~/.claude-mem/.worker.port
+     ~/.claude-mem/.pm2-migrated (all platforms)
+```
+
+**Database** (unchanged):
+```
+Same: ~/.claude-mem/claude-mem.db
+```
+
+### User-Visible Changes
+
+**Before Update**:
+```bash
+$ pm2 list
+┌────┬────────────────────┬─────────┬─────────┬──────────┐
+│ id │ name               │ status  │ restart │ uptime   │
+├────┼────────────────────┼─────────┼─────────┼──────────┤
+│ 0  │ claude-mem-worker  │ online  │ 0       │ 2d 5h    │
+└────┴────────────────────┴─────────┴─────────┴──────────┘
+```
+
+**After Update**:
+```bash
+$ pm2 list
+# Empty - worker no longer managed by PM2
+
+$ npm run worker:status
+Worker is running
+PID: 35557
+Port: 37777
+Uptime: 2h 15m
+```
+
+### Orphaned Files
+
+After migration, these PM2 files may remain (safe to delete):
+
+```
+~/.pm2/                    # Entire PM2 directory
+~/.pm2/logs/               # Old logs
+~/.pm2/pids/               # Old PID files
+~/.pm2/pm2.log             # PM2 daemon log
+~/.pm2/dump.pm2            # PM2 process dump
+```
+
+**Cleanup (optional)**:
+```bash
+# Remove PM2 entirely (if not used for other processes)
+pm2 kill
+rm -rf ~/.pm2
+
+# Or just remove claude-mem logs
+rm -f ~/.pm2/logs/claude-mem-worker-*.log
+rm -f ~/.pm2/pids/claude-mem-worker.pid
+```
+
+## File System State

+```
+
+## Edge Cases and Troubleshooting
+
+### 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.

+---
+
+# 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)
+

+   ```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
+```

 /**
 * Smart Install Script for claude-mem
 *
- * Features:
- * - Detects execution context (cache vs marketplace directory)
- * - Installs dependencies where the hooks actually run (cache directory)
- * - Only runs npm install when necessary (version change or missing deps)
- * - Caches installation state with version marker
- * - Provides helpful Windows-specific error messages
- * - Cross-platform compatible (pure Node.js)
- * - Fast when already installed (just version check)
+ * Ensures Bun runtime and uv (Python package manager) are installed
+ * (auto-installs if missing) and handles dependency installation when needed.

 * Semantic meaning: "When the happy path fails, this is an error, but we have a fallback."
 *
- * NOTE: This utility is to be used like Frank's Red Hot, we put that shit on everything.
- *
- * USE THIS INSTEAD OF SILENT FAILURES!
- * Stop doing this: `const value = something || '';`
- * Start doing this: `const value = something || happy_path_error__with_fallback('something was undefined');`
- *
 * Logs to ~/.claude-mem/silent.log and returns a fallback value.
 * Check logs with `npm run logs:silent`
 *
- * Usage:
- *   import { happy_path_error__with_fallback } from '../utils/silent-debug.js';
+ * Use happy_path_error__with_fallback for:
+ * ✅ Unexpected null/undefined values that should theoretically never happen
+ * ✅ Defensive coding where silent fallback is acceptable
+ * ✅ Situations where you want to track unexpected nulls without breaking execution
 *
- *   const title = obs.title || happy_path_error__with_fallback('obs.title missing', { obs });
- *   const name = user.name || happy_path_error__with_fallback('user.name missing', { user }, 'Anonymous');
+ * DO NOT use for:
+ * ❌ Nullable fields with valid default behavior (use direct || defaults)
+ * ❌ Critical validation failures (use logger.warn or throw Error)
+ * ❌ Try-catch blocks where error is already logged (redundant)
