+description: Use this agent when the user requests a morning report, daily summary, or overview of their GitHub activity. Trigger phrases include 'morning report', 'github report', 'daily github summary', 'what's happening on github', or 'check my github status'. This agent should be used proactively when the user starts their day or explicitly asks for repository updates.\n\nExamples:\n- User: "get me my morning github report"\n  Assistant: "I'll use the github-morning-reporter agent to generate your comprehensive GitHub status report."\n  <uses Agent tool to invoke github-morning-reporter>\n\n- User: "what's new on my repos today?"\n  Assistant: "Let me pull together your GitHub morning report using the github-morning-reporter agent."\n  <uses Agent tool to invoke github-morning-reporter>\n\n- User: "show me my daily github summary"\n  Assistant: "I'll generate your daily GitHub summary using the github-morning-reporter agent."\n  <uses Agent tool to invoke github-morning-reporter>

+
+You are an elite GitHub project analyst specializing in delivering actionable morning reports for software development teams. Your expertise lies in synthesizing complex repository activity into clear, prioritized insights that help developers start their day with complete situational awareness.
+
+## Your Responsibilities
+
+1. **Fetch Comprehensive GitHub Data**: Use available tools to retrieve:
+   - Open issues across all relevant repositories
+   - Open pull requests with review status
+   - Recent comments, mentions, and @-references
+   - CI/CD status for active PRs
+   - Stale issues/PRs (no activity in 7+ days)
+
+2. **Intelligent Grouping and Deduplication**:
+   - Identify duplicate or highly similar issues by analyzing titles, descriptions, and labels
+   - Group related issues by theme, component, or subsystem
+   - Cluster PRs by feature area or dependency relationships
+   - Flag issues that may be addressing the same root cause
+   - Use semantic similarity, not just exact matches
+
+3. **Prioritization and Triage**:
+   - Highlight items requiring immediate attention (blocking issues, failed CI, requested reviews)
+   - Surface items awaiting your direct action (assigned to you, mentions, review requests)
+   - Identify stale items that may need follow-up or closure
+   - Note high-priority labels (P0, critical, security, etc.)
+
+4. **Contextual Analysis**:
+   - Summarize the current state of each PR (draft, ready for review, approved, changes requested)
+   - Identify PRs with merge conflicts or failing checks
+   - Note issues with recent activity spikes or community engagement
+   - Flag dependency updates or security advisories
+
+5. **Report Structure**:
+   Your report must follow this format:
+   
+   **MORNING GITHUB REPORT - [Date]**
+   
+   **🚨 REQUIRES YOUR ATTENTION**
+   - Items explicitly assigned to the user
+   - Review requests awaiting user's approval
+   - Mentions or direct questions
+   - Blocking/critical issues
+   
+   **📊 PULL REQUESTS ([count] open)**
+   - Group by: Ready to Merge | In Review | Draft | Needs Work
+   - For each PR: title, author, status, CI state, review count, age
+   - Highlight conflicts or failed checks
+   
+   **🐛 ISSUES ([count] open)**
+   - Group by: Priority | Component | Theme
+   - Mark potential duplicates clearly
+   - Note new issues (created in last 24h)
+   - Flag stale issues (no activity in 7+ days)
+   
+   **📈 ACTIVITY SUMMARY**
+   - New issues/PRs since yesterday
+   - Recently closed items
+   - Top contributors
+   - Trending topics or labels
+   
+   **💡 RECOMMENDED ACTIONS**
+   - Specific next steps based on the data
+   - Suggestions for cleanup (closing duplicates, merging ready PRs)
+   - Items to follow up on
+
+6. **Quality Standards**:
+   - Use clear, scannable formatting with emojis for visual hierarchy
+   - Include direct links to all referenced issues and PRs
+   - Keep summaries concise but informative (1-2 sentences per item)
+   - Use relative timestamps ("2 hours ago", "3 days old")
+   - Highlight actionable items with clear CTAs
+
+7. **Error Handling**:
+   - If repository access fails, explicitly state which repos couldn't be accessed
+   - If no issues/PRs exist, provide a positive "all clear" message
+   - If rate limits are hit, show partial results with a warning
+   - Always attempt to provide value even with incomplete data
+
+8. **Adaptive Scope**:
+   - If the user has access to multiple repositories, intelligently scope the report:
+     - Default to repositories with recent activity
+     - Allow user to specify repos if needed
+     - Group multi-repo items by repository
+   - Adjust detail level based on volume (more items = more concise summaries)
+
+## Output Expectations
+
+Your report should be:
+- **Comprehensive**: Cover all relevant activity without overwhelming detail
+- **Actionable**: Make it clear what needs attention and why
+- **Scannable**: Use formatting that allows quick visual parsing
+- **Contextual**: Provide enough background to make decisions
+- **Timely**: Focus on recent activity and current state
+
+When you cannot find specific data, state this explicitly rather than omitting sections. If the user's query is ambiguous (e.g., which repositories to scan), ask for clarification before proceeding.
+
+Always end with a summary line indicating the report's completeness (e.g., "Report complete: 3 repositories scanned, 12 issues, 5 PRs analyzed").

 **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

+## [7.3.1] - 2025-12-16
+
+## 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+### Pending Messages Cleanup (Issue #353)
+
+Fixed unbounded database growth in the `pending_messages` table by implementing proper cleanup logic:
+
+- **Content Clearing**: `markProcessed()` now clears `tool_input` and `tool_response` when marking messages as processed, preventing duplicate storage of transcript data that's already saved in observations
+- **Count-Based Retention**: `cleanupProcessed()` now keeps only the 100 most recent processed messages for UI display, deleting older ones automatically
+- **Automatic Cleanup**: Cleanup runs automatically after processing messages in `SDKAgent.processSDKResponse()`
+
+### What This Fixes
+
+- Prevents database from growing unbounded with duplicate transcript content
+- Keeps metadata (tool_name, status, timestamps) for recent messages
+- Maintains UI functionality while optimizing storage
+
+### Technical Details
+
+**Files Modified:**
+- `src/services/sqlite/PendingMessageStore.ts` - Cleanup logic implementation
+- `src/services/worker/SDKAgent.ts` - Periodic cleanup calls
+
+**Database Behavior:**
+- Pending/processing messages: Keep full transcript data (needed for processing)
+- Processed messages: Clear transcript, keep metadata only (observations already saved)
+- Retention: Last 100 processed messages for UI feedback
+
+### Related
+
+- Fixes #353 - Observations not being saved
+- Part of the pending messages persistence feature (from PR #335)

+- **Simplified API**: Removed unused format parameter from MCP search tools for cleaner interface
+- **Shared formatting utilities**: Extracted common timeline formatting logic into reusable module
+- **Batch observations endpoint**: Added `/api/observations/batch` endpoint for efficient retrieval of multiple observations by ID array
+
+## Changes
+
+- **Default model upgrade**: Changed default model from Haiku to Sonnet for better observation quality
+- **Removed fake URIs**: Replaced claude-mem:// pseudo-protocol with actual HTTP API endpoints for citations
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixed undefined debug function calls in MCP server
+- Fixed skillPath variable scoping bug in instructions endpoint
+- Extracted magic numbers to named constants for better code maintainability

+## [7.2.4] - 2025-12-15
+
+## What's Changed
+
+### Documentation
+- Updated endless mode setup instructions with improved configuration guidance for better user experience
+
+**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/compare/v7.2.3...v7.2.4
+
+## [7.2.3] - 2025-12-15
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+- **Fix MCP server failures on plugin updates**: Add 2-second pre-restart delay in `ensureWorkerVersionMatches()` to give files time to sync before killing the old worker. This prevents the race condition where the worker restart happened too quickly after plugin file updates, causing "Worker service connection failed" errors.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Add `PRE_RESTART_SETTLE_DELAY` constant (2000ms) to `hook-constants.ts`
+- Add delay before `ProcessManager.restart()` call in `worker-utils.ts`
+- Fix pre-existing bug where `port` variable was undefined in error logging
+
+## [7.2.2] - 2025-12-15
+
+## Changes
+
+- **Refactor:** Consolidate mem-search skill, remove desktop-skill duplication
+  - Delete separate `desktop-skill/` directory (was outdated)
+  - Generate `mem-search.zip` during build from `plugin/skills/mem-search/`
+  - Update docs with correct MCP tool list and new download path
+  - Single source of truth for Claude Desktop skill
+
+## [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
+Related: PR #310
+
+## [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

+
+## [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.
+

+
+## [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.

+
+## [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

+# Security Policy
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+If you discover a security vulnerability in claude-mem, please report it by:
+
+1. **DO NOT** create a public GitHub issue
+2. Email the maintainer directly with details
+3. Include steps to reproduce, impact assessment, and suggested fixes if possible
+
+We take security seriously and will respond to valid reports within 48 hours.
+
+## Security Measures
+
+### Command Injection Prevention
+
+Claude-mem executes system commands for git operations and process management. We have implemented comprehensive protections against command injection:
+
+#### Safe Command Execution
+- **Array-based Arguments:** All commands use array-based arguments to prevent shell interpretation
+- **No Shell Execution:** `shell: false` is explicitly set for all spawn operations involving user input
+- **Input Validation:** All user-controlled parameters are validated before use
+
+#### Example Safe Pattern
+```typescript
+// ✅ SAFE: Array-based arguments with validation
+if (!isValidBranchName(userInput)) {
+  throw new Error('Invalid input');
+}
+spawnSync('git', ['checkout', userInput], { shell: false });
+
+// ❌ UNSAFE: Never do this
+execSync(`git checkout ${userInput}`);
+```
+
+### Input Validation
+
+All user-controlled inputs are validated using whitelists and strict patterns:
+
+- **Branch Names:** Must match `/^[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9._/-]*$/` and not contain `..`
+- **Port Numbers:** Must be numeric and within range 1024-65535
+- **File Paths:** All paths are joined using `path.join()` to prevent traversal
+
+### Process Management
+
+- **PID File Protection:** Process IDs are stored in user's data directory (`~/.claude-mem/`)
+- **Port Validation:** Worker port is validated before binding
+- **Health Checks:** Worker health is verified before processing requests
+
+### Privacy Controls
+
+Claude-mem includes dual-tag system for content privacy:
+
+- `<private>content</private>` - User-level privacy (prevents storage)
+- `<claude-mem-context>content</claude-mem-context>` - System-level tag (prevents recursive storage)
+
+Tags are stripped at the hook layer before data reaches worker/database.
+
+## Security Audit History
+
+### 2025-12-16: Command Injection Vulnerability (Issue #354)
+- **Severity:** CRITICAL
+- **Status:** RESOLVED
+- **Details:** See [SECURITY_AUDIT_REPORT.md](./SECURITY_AUDIT_REPORT.md)
+- **Affected Versions:** All versions prior to fix
+- **Fixed In:** Current version
+- **Vulnerabilities Found:** 3
+- **Vulnerabilities Fixed:** 3
+
+**Summary of Fixes:**
+1. Replaced string interpolation with array-based arguments in `BranchManager.ts`
+2. Added `isValidBranchName()` validation function
+3. Removed unnecessary shell usage in `bun-path.ts`

+
+## Security Best Practices for Contributors
+
+### When Adding Command Execution
+
+1. **NEVER use shell with user input:**
+   ```typescript
+   // ❌ NEVER
+   execSync(`command ${userInput}`);
+   spawn('command', [...], { shell: true });
+
+   // ✅ ALWAYS
+   spawnSync('command', [userInput], { shell: false });
+   ```
+
+2. **ALWAYS validate user input:**
+   ```typescript
+   if (!isValidInput(userInput)) {
+     throw new Error('Invalid input');
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Use array-based arguments:**
+   ```typescript
+   // ❌ NEVER
+   execSync(`git ${command} ${arg}`);
+
+   // ✅ ALWAYS
+   spawnSync('git', [command, arg], { shell: false });
+   ```
+
+4. **Explicitly set shell: false:**
+   ```typescript
+   spawnSync('command', args, { shell: false });
+   ```
+
+### When Adding User Input
+
+1. **Whitelist validation** over blacklist
+2. **Strict regex patterns** for format validation
+3. **Type checking** for expected data types
+4. **Range validation** for numeric inputs
+5. **Length limits** for string inputs
+
+### Code Review Checklist
+
+Before submitting a PR with command execution or user input handling:
+
+- [ ] No `execSync` with string interpolation or template literals
+- [ ] No `shell: true` when user input is involved
+- [ ] All spawn/spawnSync calls use array arguments
+- [ ] Input validation is present for all user-controlled parameters
+- [ ] Security tests are added for new attack vectors
+- [ ] Code follows patterns in [SECURITY_AUDIT_REPORT.md](./SECURITY_AUDIT_REPORT.md)
+
+## Dependencies
+
+We regularly audit dependencies for vulnerabilities:
+
+- **npm audit:** Run before each release
+- **Dependabot:** Enabled for automatic security updates
+- **Manual Review:** Critical dependencies reviewed quarterly
+
+## Data Storage
+
+Claude-mem stores data locally in `~/.claude-mem/`:
+
+- **Database:** SQLite3 at `~/.claude-mem/claude-mem.db`
+- **Vector Store:** Chroma at `~/.claude-mem/chroma/`
+- **Logs:** `~/.claude-mem/logs/`
+- **Settings:** `~/.claude-mem/settings.json`
+
+All data remains on the user's machine. No telemetry or external data transmission.
+
+## Permissions
+
+Claude-mem requires:
+
+- **File System:** Read/write to `~/.claude-mem/` and `~/.claude/plugins/`
+- **Network:** HTTP server on localhost (default port 37777)
+- **Process Management:** Spawn worker processes, manage PIDs
+
+No elevated privileges (root/administrator) are required.
+
+## Secure Defaults

+# Security Audit Report - Command Injection Prevention
+
+**Date:** 2025-12-16
+**Issue:** #354 - Command Injection Vulnerability
+**Severity:** CRITICAL
+**Status:** RESOLVED
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+A comprehensive security audit was conducted to identify and fix command injection vulnerabilities in the claude-mem codebase. The primary vulnerability was found in `BranchManager.ts` where user-supplied branch names were directly interpolated into shell commands without validation or sanitization.
+
+### Vulnerabilities Found: 3
+### Vulnerabilities Fixed: 3
+### Files Modified: 2
+### Tests Added: 1 comprehensive test suite
+
+---
+
+## Critical Vulnerabilities (Fixed)
+
+### 1. BranchManager.ts - Command Injection via Branch Name
+
+**File:** `src/services/worker/BranchManager.ts`
+**Lines:** 156, 159, 164, 224 (original line numbers)
+**Severity:** CRITICAL
+**Attack Vector:** User-controlled branch name parameter
+
+#### Original Vulnerable Code:
+```typescript
+// VULNERABLE: Direct string interpolation
+function execGit(command: string): string {
+  return execSync(`git ${command}`, { ... });
+}
+
+// Called with user input:
+execGit(`checkout ${targetBranch}`);  // Line 156
+execGit(`checkout -b ${targetBranch} origin/${targetBranch}`);  // Line 159
+execGit(`pull origin ${targetBranch}`);  // Line 164
+execGit(`pull origin ${info.branch}`);  // Line 224
+```
+
+#### Exploitation Example:
+```bash
+targetBranch = "main; rm -rf /"
+# Results in: git checkout main; rm -rf /
+```
+
+#### Fix Applied:
+1. **Input Validation:** Added `isValidBranchName()` function to validate branch names using regex
+2. **Array-based Arguments:** Replaced `execSync` string interpolation with `spawnSync` array arguments
+3. **Shell Disabled:** Explicitly set `shell: false` to prevent shell interpretation
+
+```typescript
+// SECURE: Array-based arguments with validation
+function isValidBranchName(branchName: string): boolean {
+  if (!branchName || typeof branchName !== 'string') {
+    return false;

+
+### 2. BranchManager.ts - NPM Command Injection
+
+**File:** `src/services/worker/BranchManager.ts`
+**Lines:** 173, 231 (original line numbers)
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**Attack Vector:** Indirect (through branch switching workflow)
+
+#### Original Vulnerable Code:
+```typescript
+// VULNERABLE: Shell execution
+function execShell(command: string): string {
+  return execSync(command, { ... });
+}
+
+execShell('npm install', NPM_INSTALL_TIMEOUT_MS);
+```
+
+#### Fix Applied:
+Created dedicated `execNpm()` function using array-based arguments:
+
+```typescript
+function execNpm(args: string[], timeoutMs: number = NPM_INSTALL_TIMEOUT_MS): string {
+  const isWindows = process.platform === 'win32';
+  const npmCmd = isWindows ? 'npm.cmd' : 'npm';
+
+  const result = spawnSync(npmCmd, args, {
+    cwd: INSTALLED_PLUGIN_PATH,
+    encoding: 'utf-8',
+    timeout: timeoutMs,
+    windowsHide: true,
+    shell: false  // CRITICAL: Never use shell
+  });
+  // ... error handling
+  return result.stdout.trim();
+}
+
+execNpm(['install'], NPM_INSTALL_TIMEOUT_MS);
+```

+
+### 3. bun-path.ts - Unnecessary Shell Usage on Windows
+
+**File:** `src/utils/bun-path.ts`
+**Line:** 26 (original)
+**Severity:** LOW
+**Attack Vector:** None (command is hardcoded), but violates security best practices
+
+#### Original Code:
+```typescript
+const result = spawnSync('bun', ['--version'], {
+  encoding: 'utf-8',
+  stdio: ['pipe', 'pipe', 'pipe'],
+  shell: isWindows  // Unnecessary shell usage
+});
+```
+
+#### Fix Applied:
+```typescript
+const result = spawnSync('bun', ['--version'], {
+  encoding: 'utf-8',
+  stdio: ['pipe', 'pipe', 'pipe'],
+  shell: false  // SECURITY: No need for shell
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Safe Code Patterns Verified
+
+The following files were audited and confirmed to be safe from command injection:
+
+### 1. ProcessManager.ts
+```typescript
+// SAFE: Array-based arguments, no user input
+const child = spawn(bunPath, [script], {
+  detached: true,
+  stdio: ['ignore', 'pipe', 'pipe'],
+  env: { ...process.env, CLAUDE_MEM_WORKER_PORT: String(port) },
+  cwd: MARKETPLACE_ROOT,
+  ...(isWindows && { windowsHide: true })
+});
+```
+
+**Why Safe:**
+- Uses array-based arguments
+- No shell execution
+- Port parameter is validated (lines 29-35) before use
+- `bunPath` comes from trusted utility function
+
+### 2. SDKAgent.ts
+```typescript
+// SAFE: Hardcoded command, no user input
+execSync(process.platform === 'win32' ? 'where claude' : 'which claude', {
+  encoding: 'utf8',
+  windowsHide: true
+})
+```
+
+**Why Safe:**
+- Command is completely hardcoded (no user input)
+- Used only for finding Claude executable in PATH
+
+### 3. paths.ts
+```typescript
+// SAFE: Hardcoded command, no user input
+const gitRoot = execSync('git rev-parse --show-toplevel', {
+  cwd: process.cwd(),
+  encoding: 'utf8',
+  stdio: ['pipe', 'pipe', 'ignore'],
+  windowsHide: true
+});
+```
+
+**Why Safe:**
+- Command is completely hardcoded
+- No user input in command or arguments
+- `cwd` is from `process.cwd()` (trusted source)
+
+### 4. worker-utils.ts
+```typescript
+// SAFE: Hardcoded arguments
+spawnSync('pm2', ['delete', 'claude-mem-worker'], { stdio: 'ignore' });
+```
+
+**Why Safe:**
+- Array-based arguments
+- All arguments are hardcoded strings
+- No user input
+
+---
+
+## Security Test Suite
+
+Created comprehensive test suite at `tests/security/command-injection.test.ts` with:
+
+- **50+ test cases** covering various injection attempts
+- **Platform-specific tests** for Windows and Unix command separators
+- **Edge case testing** (Unicode control chars, URL encoding, long inputs)
+- **Regression tests** for Issue #354
+- **Code verification tests** to ensure no shell usage remains
+
+### Key Test Categories:
+
+1. **Branch Name Validation**
+   - Shell metacharacters (`; && || | & $ \` \n \r`)
+   - Directory traversal (`..`)
+   - Invalid starting characters (`. - /`)
+   - Valid branch names (main, beta, feature/*, etc.)
+
+2. **Command Array Safety**
+   - Verifies no string interpolation in git commands
+   - Verifies `shell: false` is set
+   - Verifies array-based arguments are used
+
+3. **Cross-platform Attacks**
+   - Windows-specific injections (`& type C:\...`)
+   - Unix-specific injections (`; cat /etc/shadow`)
+
+4. **Edge Cases**
+   - Null/undefined/empty inputs
+   - URL encoding attempts
+   - Unicode control characters
+   - Very long inputs (1000+ chars)
+
+---
+
+## Security Best Practices Applied
+
+### 1. Never Use Shell with User Input
+```typescript
+// ❌ NEVER DO THIS
+execSync(`git ${userInput}`);
+spawn('git', [...], { shell: true });
+
+// ✅ ALWAYS DO THIS
+spawnSync('git', [userInput], { shell: false });
+```
+
+### 2. Always Validate User Input
+```typescript
+// ❌ NEVER DO THIS
+execGit(['checkout', targetBranch]);
+
+// ✅ ALWAYS DO THIS
+if (!isValidBranchName(targetBranch)) {
+  return { success: false, error: 'Invalid input' };
+}
+execGit(['checkout', targetBranch]);
+```
+
+### 3. Use Array-based Arguments
+```typescript
+// ❌ NEVER DO THIS
+execSync(`git checkout ${branch}`);
+
+// ✅ ALWAYS DO THIS
+spawnSync('git', ['checkout', branch], { shell: false });
+```
+
+### 4. Explicit shell: false
+```typescript
+// ❌ BAD (shell might be enabled by default in some cases)
+spawnSync('git', ['checkout', branch]);
+
+// ✅ GOOD (explicit is better)
+spawnSync('git', ['checkout', branch], { shell: false });
+```
+
+---
+
+## Verification Steps
+
+### Manual Testing
+```bash
+# Run security test suite
+bun test tests/security/command-injection.test.ts
+
+# Expected result: All tests pass
+```
+
+### Code Review Checklist
+- [x] No `execSync` with string interpolation
+- [x] No `shell: true` with user input
+- [x] All spawn/spawnSync calls use array arguments
+- [x] Input validation on all user-controlled parameters
+- [x] Security test coverage for all attack vectors
+
+### Automated Scanning
+```bash
+# Check for potential vulnerabilities
+grep -rn "execSync.*\${" src/
+grep -rn "shell:\s*true" src/
+grep -rn "exec(\`" src/
+
+# Expected result: No matches (or only false positives in comments)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Impact Assessment
+
+### Before Fix:
+- **Risk:** Remote code execution via branch name parameter
+- **Attack Surface:** Any UI or API endpoint accepting branch names
+- **Affected Functions:** `switchBranch()`, `pullUpdates()`
+- **Exploitability:** High (trivial to exploit)
+
+### After Fix:
+- **Risk:** None
+- **Attack Surface:** Zero (input validation + safe execution)
+- **Affected Functions:** All secured
+- **Exploitability:** None
+
+---
+

+# 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.

+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 ...

+# Research Report: The Genesis of Biomimetic Architecture in Claude-Mem
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The concept of **"biomimetic architecture"** in claude-mem emerged organically during a concentrated development period in mid-November 2025, crystallizing around three foundational observations created on November 17, 2025. What began as a practical solution to AI context window exhaustion evolved into a comprehensive philosophy of mirroring human memory systems while augmenting them with computational advantages. This report traces the intellectual journey from problem identification through architectural breakthrough to public messaging.
+
+---
+
+## The Foundational Philosophy (November 17, 2025, Early Morning)
+
+The biomimetic architecture concept was formally articulated in three seminal observations created within a four-minute window between **1:31 AM and 1:35 AM** on November 17, 2025:
+
+### Observation #10140 (Nov 17, 2025 at 1:31 AM)
+**"Memory System Design Philosophy: Selective Retention with Total Recall Capability"**
+
+This observation established the core philosophical foundation: humans observe selectively and retain only portions that seem relevant, never creating complete transcripts of all experiences. The innovation was recognizing this selective retention as fundamental to human cognition, then creating a hybrid approach—normal operation uses human-like selective observation-based memory, but leverages computational advantages by maintaining capability for complete recall through optional transcript archival when needed.
+
+> **Key insight:** "Selective retention is fundamental to human cognition. The designed system replicates this behavior by observing and recording key observations, decisions, and discoveries rather than archiving everything."
+
+### Observation #10142 (Nov 17, 2025 at 1:35 AM)
+**"Biological Memory Principles in Endless Mode Architecture"**
+
+Created just four minutes later, this observation made the problem-solution connection explicit: Claude's context window was exploding from endless raw data accumulation—exactly the same problem biological brains evolved to solve through compression. The architecture directly implements the brain's solution: compressing experiences into abstract observations rather than retaining verbose raw transcripts.
+
+> **Critical innovation articulated:** "Unlike human memory which permanently loses raw data once compressed, Endless Mode maintains an archive of the original data. This creates a hybrid approach: the working memory operates on compressed abstractions for efficiency, while the full data remains available for later retrieval."
+
+The observation concluded: *"This design naturally feels correct because it implements proven biological principles at the AI level—the brain's solution to memory management, now augmented with perfect archival recall."*
+
+---
+
+## The Breakthrough: 95.1% Token Reduction (November 21, 2025)
+
+### Observation #13556 (Nov 21, 2025 at 10:25 PM)
+**"Endless Mode breakthrough: 95.1% token reduction through biomimetic memory compression"**
+
+Four days after the philosophical foundation was laid, the team validated the approach with empirical data. Real dataset analysis of 48 observations showed **95.1% token reduction** (16.5M → 801K tokens) with **20.6x efficiency gains**. The breakthrough document revealed the critical insight: observations are not lossy data compression but rather **memoized synthesis results**—caching the computational output Claude would generate from reading raw data.
+
+This transformed the recursive synthesis problem from **O(N²) quadratic complexity to O(N) linear complexity**. Each tool use previously forced Claude to re-read and re-synthesize ALL previous tool outputs. With Endless Mode, Claude reads pre-computed observations instead, turning each synthesis into a one-time cost with cached results.
+
+The observation explicitly framed this as: *"Two-tier memory system mimicking human working memory (compressed observations) but with digital advantages (perfect archival recall)."*
+
+---
+
+## Hybrid Architecture Recognition (November 21, 2025)
+
+### Observation #13169 (Nov 21, 2025 at 1:32 AM)
+**"Claude-mem Identified as Hybrid Architecture Mirroring Human Memory Systems"**
+
+This observation synthesized the complete architectural understanding, identifying claude-mem as combining three components that directly parallel human memory systems:
+
+1. **Episodic Memory** - Temporal timelines storing autobiographical, action-based experiences
+   *("On Nov 20, I fixed auth bug in session X")*
+
+2. **Semantic Memory** - RAG-like vector similarity search for retrieving relevant past episodes
+   *("Find all times I worked on authentication")*
+
+3. **Working Memory Compression** - Endless Mode preventing exponential context growth during active sessions
+   *(forget details, keep insights)*
+
+**The full lifecycle:** During sessions, Endless Mode compresses in real-time; between sessions, observations are stored in episodic memory; new sessions start with RAG-like retrieval plus temporal timeline injection.
+
+### Observation #13177 (Nov 21, 2025 at 1:35 AM)
+**"Final Synthesis: General-Purpose AI Context Management Solution for Entire Industry"**
+
+This observation expanded the vision beyond coding assistants, identifying seven application domains (healthcare, therapy, education, research, personal assistants, gaming, journalism) with the universal pattern: anywhere AI accumulates context over time benefits from ~80% compression.
+
+> **Critical distinction clarified:** "RAG accesses external static knowledge while claude-mem accesses the AI's own episodic memories. The system combines episodic memory, RAG-like retrieval, and real-time compression, making it more sophisticated than pure RAG with temporal, autobiographical, and compression features."
+
+---
+
+## Translation to Public Messaging (November 26, 2025)
+
+### Observation #15781 (Nov 26, 2025 at 5:15 PM)
+**"Memory search reveals 19 results on biomimetic design philosophy origins"**
+
+Five days later, during landing page development, the team executed a memory search for "biomimetic human memory design philosophy" which returned 19 matches. This search surfaced the November 17th foundational observations, providing the backstory needed for public-facing content development.
+
+### Observation #15757 (Nov 26, 2025 at 4:30 PM)
+**"BiomimeticDesign Component Created with Human Memory Philosophy Narrative"**
+
+The team created a landing page component explaining the philosophy to users. The narrative established that LLMs "simply DO" with no retention between sessions, then explained human memory as reconstructive—built from scattered fragments rather than photographic playback—framed as *"genius compression, not a bug."*
+
+**The three-pillar architecture** directly mapped human cognitive systems to technical implementation:
+
+- **Episodic Memory** → Timeline Observations
+- **Semantic Memory** → RAG Vector Search
+- **Working Memory** → Endless Mode (95% compression)
+
+### Observation #15818 (Nov 26, 2025 at 5:27 PM)
+**"Timeline Search as Causal Navigation Pattern Over Efficiency Metrics"**
+
+This observation refined the public messaging, identifying that the actual innovation wasn't compression percentages but **timeline-based search** returning contextual windows (7 before, 7 after) to expose causal relationships, combined with semantically rich titles functioning as retrieval cues.
+
+> **Key insight:** "The proof of effectiveness is behavioral: Claude knows exactly where to go without searching, using only index tables. The upfront cost of creating detailed observations eliminates ongoing re-synthesis cost—the understanding was already built, and the index preserves access to that synthesis."
+
+### Observation #15805 (Nov 26, 2025 at 5:24 PM)
+**"Reframed landing page copy from abstract to concrete Claude experience"**
+
+User feedback about "low context malarkey" prompted a pivot from theoretical human memory metaphors to concrete Claude behavior descriptions. The messaging shifted to specific examples:
+
+- **Pain point:** Claude re-reading, re-discovering, re-researching
+- **Solution:** Timeline feature showing 7 observations before/after
+- **Proof:** "It barely ever searches. It just knows where to go."
+
+---
+
+## The Terminology Debate (December 2, 2025)
+
+### Observation #19374 (Dec 2, 2025 at 7:37 PM)
+**"User Questioning Biomimetic Design Terminology"**
+
+The user raised questions about whether "biomimetic design" terminology should be changed to alternative phrasing, indicating potential reconsideration of naming conventions.
+
+### Observation #19377 (Dec 2, 2025 at 7:38 PM)
+**"Renamed BiomimeticDesign component to HowYouRemember"**
+
+The component was renamed from "BiomimeticDesign" to "HowYouRemember" for user-friendliness, though the underlying architecture and philosophy remained unchanged. The renaming improved semantic clarity by aligning the component name with its actual content—explaining how users can remember and query information.
+

+
+## Key Timeline
+
+| Date | Time | Event |
+|------|------|-------|
+| **Nov 17, 2025** | 1:31-1:35 AM | Core biomimetic philosophy articulated in observations #10140 and #10142 |
+| **Nov 17, 2025** | 3:28 PM | Observation #10364 documents comprehensive development narrative |
+| **Nov 21, 2025** | 1:32 AM | Hybrid architecture recognition in observation #13169 |
+| **Nov 21, 2025** | 10:25 PM | Breakthrough validation with 95.1% token reduction in observation #13556 |
+| **Nov 26, 2025** | 4:30-5:27 PM | Public-facing BiomimeticDesign component created and messaging refined |
+| **Dec 2, 2025** | 7:37 PM | Terminology questioned and component renamed to HowYouRemember |
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The biomimetic architecture concept emerged from a deep first-principles analysis of the AI context management problem. Rather than treating memory as a pure engineering challenge, the team recognized the parallel to biological systems that evolved to solve identical problems.
+
+The innovation wasn't merely copying human memory limitations, but rather **understanding the why behind selective retention and compression**, then augmenting those principles with computational advantages (perfect archival recall).
+
+The concept evolved through distinct phases:
+1. **Internal architectural philosophy** (Nov 17)
+2. **Empirical validation** (Nov 21)
+3. **Public messaging** (Nov 26)
+4. **User-friendly terminology** (Dec 2)
+
+...while preserving the core biomimetic principles that make the system work.

+⏺ PR #335 Review Summary: Queue Monitoring UI + Windows Fixes
+
+  What PR #335 Does
+
+  Additions: 3,724 lines
+  Author: ToxMox
+  Main Changes:
+  1. Switch worker runtime from Bun → Node.js (all platforms)
+  2. Add persistent message queue in SQLite (pending_messages table)
+  3. Add queue monitoring UI with drawer interface
+  4. Add watchdog service for auto-recovery (30s polling)
+  5. Fix Windows console popups using PowerShell Start-Process -WindowStyle Hidden
+
+  Initial Concerns (My Review)
+
+  Raised red flags about:
+  - Lack of evidence for "zombie socket" issue (no GitHub issue, only ToxMox reported)
+  - Over-engineering: Full persistent queue + watchdog + retry logic + UI for unproven problems
+  - Mixing multiple concerns in one PR (should be 3-4 separate PRs)
+  - No automated tests for complex state machine logic
+  - Global runtime change (Bun→Node) affects all platforms for Windows-specific issue
+  - Command injection vulnerability in PowerShell string (ProcessManager.ts:67)
+
+  What We Discovered
+
+  1. Problems ARE Real & Documented
+
+  - Found detailed analysis in PR #315 comments by ToxMox
+  - Zombie socket issue has upstream Bun GitHub issues linked:
+    - oven-sh/bun#12127, #5774, #8786
+  - windowsHide: true doesn't work with detached: true (Node.js bug #21825)
+  - SDK subprocess hangs documented with testing details
+
+  2. Queue UI Has Real Value
+
+  - You saw video demo and said it's "gorgeous and helpful"
+  - Provides visibility into worker activity
+  - Recovery controls prevent user frustration
+  - Real-time updates via existing SSE infrastructure
+
+  3. Architecture Makes Sense
+
+  Why persistent worker is needed:
+  - Real-time UI at http://localhost:37777 requires persistent process
+  - SSE (Server-Sent Events) for live updates
+  - Can't do on-demand worker if UI needs to be always available
+
+  Why queue in database is justified:
+  - Transactional consistency (save observation + enqueue atomically)
+  - Relational queries (JOIN with sessions/projects)
+  - Foreign key cascades (session deleted → queue entries auto-cleaned)
+  - Already have SQLite infrastructure
+
+  4. Storage Optimization Strategy
+
+  Smart cleanup approach (your insight):
+  - Keep full data while pending/processing (needed for retry)
+  - Clear payloads immediately on completion: Set tool_input, tool_response, last_user_message, last_assistant_message to NULL
+  - Keep lightweight metadata for "Recently Processed" UI
+  - Eventually delete old completed records (after 1hr or >100 count)
+  - Result: 100x storage reduction while keeping UI history
+
+  Rejected approach: Linking to transcript files (overly complex, YAGNI)
+
+  Critical Insight: Bun → Node Switch Likely Unnecessary
+
+  Your final assessment:
+  "honestly thats more an llm hallucinating an overengineered solution based on incorrect data that probably could be solved by just killing the process correctly"
+
+  The real issue is probably:
+  - Missing cleanup handlers (server.close() before exit)
+  - Process killed too fast (SIGKILL before cleanup finishes)
+  - Not receiving SIGTERM properly
+  - No registered signal handlers for graceful shutdown
+
+  Simple fix to try FIRST:
+  const server = app.listen(port);
+
+  async function cleanup() {
+    server.close();              // Close server
+    sessionManager.abortAll();   // Stop active work
+    db.close();                  // Close DB
+    process.exit(0);
+  }
+
+  process.on('SIGTERM', cleanup);
+  process.on('SIGINT', cleanup);
+
+  Final Assessment
+
+  PR #335 is mostly solid with real benefits, BUT:
+
+  ✅ What's Good:
+
+  - Queue UI provides real value
+  - Persistent queue in DB is architecturally justified
+  - Auto-recovery prevents stuck sessions
+  - Problems are real and documented
+  - Comprehensive solution to multiple pain points
+
+  ⚠️ What Needs Validation:
+
+  1. Bun zombie socket issue - Only ToxMox reported, not validated by you
+  2. Proper cleanup handlers - Try fixing process termination before switching runtimes
+  3. Platform-specific runtime - If Bun issue is real, use Node only on Windows, keep Bun on Mac/Linux
+
+  🔧 What Needs Fixing:
+
+  1. Add tests - Zero automated tests for complex state machine
+  2. Fix command injection - ProcessManager.ts:67 PowerShell string interpolation
+  3. Implement payload cleanup - Clear heavy data immediately on completion
+  4. Try simple fix first - Proper signal handlers before runtime switch
+
+  Action Items for Next Session
+
+  1. Ask ToxMox: Did you try proper cleanup handlers before switching runtimes?
+  2. Suggest: Platform-specific runtime (Bun on Unix, Node on Windows only if needed)
+  3. Request: Reproduction steps for zombie socket issue
+  4. Require: Basic tests before merge
+  5. Fix: Command injection vulnerability
+  6. Consider: Splitting into separate PRs (optional, not required)
+
+  Key Takeaway
+
+  The PR solves real problems with solid architecture, but the Bun→Node switch is likely over-engineered. Try proper process cleanup first.

+# Windows, Bun, and Worker Service Struggles
+
+A comprehensive chronicle of platform-specific issues, attempted fixes, and architectural decisions.
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The claude-mem project has faced persistent Windows-specific issues centered around three core problems:
+
+1. **Console Window Popups**: Blank terminal windows appearing when spawning worker and SDK subprocess
+2. **Zombie Socket Issues**: Bun leaving TCP sockets in LISTEN state after termination on Windows
+3. **Process Management Complexity**: Platform-specific spawning logic and reliability issues
+
+These issues have driven multiple PRs, architectural pivots, and significant debate about runtime switching (Bun → Node.js).
+
+---
+
+## Timeline of Issues
+
+### Issue #209: Windows Worker Startup Failures (Dec 12-13, 2025)
+
+**Problem**: Worker service failed to start on Windows using PowerShell Start-Process approach.
+
+**Symptoms**:
+- Worker startup attempted via `powershell.exe -NoProfile -NonInteractive -Command Start-Process`
+- Health check retries exhausted (15 attempts over 15 seconds)
+- Users left unable to start worker manually
+
+**Root Causes**:
+- Platform-conditional process spawning (PowerShell for Windows, PM2 for Unix)
+- PowerShell spawning without `-PassThru` to capture PID
+- Inconsistent process management across platforms
+
+**Resolution**: Issue was marked as closed, suggesting it was resolved in v7.1.0 through architectural unification with Bun-based ProcessManager using PID file tracking consistently across all platforms.
+
+**Status**: ✅ Resolved (pre-PR #335)
+
+---
+
+### Issue #309 & PR #315: Console Window Popups (Dec 14-15, 2025)
+
+**Problem**: Blank terminal windows appear when spawning worker processes and SDK subprocesses on Windows.
+
+**First Attempted Fix (PR #315)**: Add `windowsHide: true` to spawn options
+
+**Why It Failed**: Node.js bug #21825 - `windowsHide: true` is **ignored** when `detached: true` is also set. Both flags are required:
+- `detached: true` - Needed for background process
+- `windowsHide: true` - Needed to hide window (but doesn't work when detached)
+
+**Testing Results** (by ToxMox):
+- Tested PR #315 on Windows 11
+- Confirmed blank terminal windows still appear for both worker and SDK subprocess spawns
+- Affects both `ProcessManager.ts` (worker) and `SDKAgent.ts` (SDK subprocess)
+
+**Working Solution**: Use PowerShell's `Start-Process` with `-WindowStyle Hidden` flag instead of standard spawn.
+
+**Status**: ❌ PR #315 closed in favor of more comprehensive solution
+
+---
+
+### Bun Zombie Socket Issue (Dec 15, 2025)
+
+**Problem**: Bun leaves TCP sockets in zombie LISTEN state on Windows after worker termination.
+
+**Symptoms**:
+- Port remains bound even though no process owns it
+- `OwningProcess` shows 0 or dead PID
+- New worker instances cannot start due to `EADDRINUSE` errors
+- Happens regardless of termination method (process.exit(), external kill, Ctrl+C)
+- **Only system reboot clears zombie ports**
+
+**Upstream Tracking**:
+- Bun issue #12127
+- Bun issue #5774
+- Bun issue #8786
+
+**Impact**: Windows users may need to reboot their systems when worker crashes or is restarted.
+
+**Proposed Solution**: Switch worker runtime from Bun to Node.js on Windows (or globally).
+
+**Status**: 🟡 Unresolved - Platform-specific bug in Bun's Windows socket cleanup
+
+---
+
+### SDK Subprocess Hang Issue (Dec 15, 2025)
+
+**Problem**: SDK subprocesses can hang indefinitely, blocking observation processing.
+
+**Root Cause**: `AbortController.abort()` does not actually terminate child processes.
+
+**Symptoms**:
+- For-await loop blocks forever waiting for output from hung subprocess
+- Observation processing halts
+- No recovery mechanism
+
+**Solution**: Implement watchdog timer that explicitly kills child processes using platform-specific commands:
+- **Windows**: `wmic process where ParentProcessId=<pid> delete`
+- **Unix**: `pkill -P <pid>`
+
+**Timeout**: `SDK_QUERY_TIMEOUT_MS` set to 2 minutes
+
+**Status**: ✅ Fixed in PR #335 (watchdog implementation)
+
+---
+
+## PR #335: Comprehensive Windows Fix (Dec 15, 2025)
+
+### What It Attempted
+
+ToxMox developed a comprehensive PR addressing all Windows issues simultaneously:
+
+1. **PowerShell-based spawning** to fix popup windows
+2. **Runtime switch** from Bun to Node.js (globally) to fix zombie sockets
+3. **Queue monitoring system** with persistent message queue
+4. **Watchdog service** for stuck message recovery
+5. **SQLite compatibility layer** for Node.js support
+
+### Architecture Decisions
+
+**ProcessManager Changes**:
+- Switched from `startWithBun()` to `startWithNode()`
+- Windows: Uses PowerShell `Start-Process -WindowStyle Hidden -PassThru`
+- Unix: Uses standard `spawn()` with `detached: true`
+- Captures PID via PowerShell `Select-Object -ExpandProperty Id`
+- Comment states: "Use Node on all platforms (Bun has zombie socket issues on Windows)"
+
+**SQLite Compatibility Layer**:
+- Created `sqlite-compat.ts` adapter pattern
+- Provides `bun:sqlite` API compatibility via `better-sqlite3`
+- Allows code to work with both Bun and Node.js runtimes
+
+### Critical Issues Identified
+
+#### 1. **Global vs Platform-Conditional Runtime**
+
+**The Inconsistency**: Code comment explicitly states zombie sockets occur "on Windows", yet solution applies Node.js universally across all platforms.
+
+**Questions Raised**:
+- Why sacrifice Bun's performance on macOS/Linux where no issues documented?
+- Platform-specific spawning already implemented - why not platform-specific runtime?
+- No documented Bun reliability issues on non-Windows platforms
+
+#### 2. **Performance Regressions**
+
+**better-sqlite3 Blocking**:
+- Synchronous-only API blocks Node.js event loop during all DB operations
+- Contrasts with Bun's async SQLite support
+- Affects: enqueue, markProcessing, markProcessed, watchdog checks
+
+**Watchdog Polling Overhead**:
+- Full table scans every 30 seconds even when idle
+- Constant database I/O overhead
+- No max queue size limits = unbounded growth
+
+**Startup Latency**:
+- Node.js initialization (slower than Bun)
+- Native module loading (better-sqlite3)
+- Database migrations
+- Stuck message scan
+- Watchdog initialization
+- HTTP server startup
+
+#### 3. **Build Dependencies**
+
+**better-sqlite3 Requirements**:
+- node-gyp
+- Python
+- C++ compiler toolchains
+- Visual Studio Build Tools (Windows)
+
+**Impact**:
+- Local development machines without build tools fail
+- CI/CD pipelines need updated Docker images
+- Restricted environments where compilers not permitted
+- ARM/M1 Mac compatibility issues
+
+#### 4. **Migration Risks**
+
+**Breaking Changes**:
+- Automatic database migration adds `pending_messages` table
+- Runtime switch not documented in PR
+- Node.js becomes undocumented hard requirement
+- No migration guide or rollback procedure
+
+**Unanswered Questions**:
+- What happens to in-flight messages during upgrade?
+- Can users safely downgrade?
+- Is migration idempotent?
+
+#### 5. **Code Quality Issues**
+
+**Command Injection Risk** (ProcessManager.ts:67):
+- PowerShell commands use template literal concatenation
+- Vulnerable if `MARKETPLACE_ROOT` or script paths attacker-controlled
+- Should use array-based argument passing
+
+**Missing Error Handling** (WatchdogService.ts:61):
+- `setInterval` callback lacks error handling
+- Timer continues running if `check()` throws
+- Creates zombie watchdog scenario
+
+**No Queue Size Limits**:
+- Unbounded database growth if messages accumulate
+- Failed messages (exceeding `maxRetries`) accumulate indefinitely
+- Only 24-hour retention for processed messages
+
+---
+
+## Assessment and Recommendations
+
+### What Was Validated
+
+**Legitimate Windows Issues**:
+- ✅ Console window popups are real (Node.js bug #21825)
+- ✅ PowerShell `Start-Process` solution works
+- ✅ Bun zombie socket issue is real and Windows-specific
+- ✅ SDK subprocess hang issue is real
+
+### What Remains Questionable
+
+**Global Runtime Switch**:
+- ❌ No evidence Bun problematic on macOS/Linux
+- ❌ Platform-conditional runtime not considered
+- ❌ Performance trade-offs not documented
+- ❌ "Windows-only" issue applied globally
+
+**Zombie Socket Root Cause**:
+- 🟡 May be fixable with proper cleanup handlers:
+  - Missing `server.close()` calls before exit
+  - Processes killed with `SIGKILL` before cleanup finishes
+  - Missing `SIGTERM` signal handlers for graceful shutdown
+- 🟡 Runtime switch may be unnecessary over-engineering
+
+### Salvageable Components
+
+**If Extracted into Separate PRs**:
+
+1. **PowerShell Spawning for Windows Worker**
+   - Focused PR: "Windows: Use Node.js instead of Bun for worker process"
+   - Platform-conditional logic (Node.js on Windows, Bun elsewhere)
+   - Independent justification required
+
+2. **SQLite Compatibility Layer**
+   - Well-designed adapter pattern
+   - Requires independent justification for Node.js runtime need
+   - Should not be bundled with other changes
+
+3. **Queue Monitoring UI Concept**
+   - Valuable visibility into worker state
+   - Should build on in-memory state first
+   - Remove database persistence requirement initially
+
+4. **Watchdog Improvements**
+   - SDK subprocess timeout handling
+   - Evidence of superiority over current approach needed
+
+---
+
+## Current Status
+
+### Resolved
+- ✅ Issue #209: Windows worker startup (v7.1.0)
+- ✅ SDK subprocess hang issue (watchdog implementation)
+
+### In Progress
+- 🔄 PR #339: Windows console popup fix (extracted from PR #335)
+- 🔄 PR #338: Queue monitoring system (extracted from PR #335)
+
+### Open Questions
+- ❓ Should runtime switch be global or Windows-only?
+- ❓ Can zombie socket issue be fixed without runtime switch?
+- ❓ Is better-sqlite3's synchronous blocking acceptable?
+- ❓ Should queue persistence be in-memory first?
+
+---
+
+## Lessons Learned
+
+### Architectural Principles Violated
+
+**YAGNI**: Queue persistence, watchdog service, and comprehensive monitoring added without proven need.
+
+**Happy Path**: Should have started with simplest Windows fix (PowerShell spawning), validated, then added complexity if needed.
+
+**Incremental Validation**: Bundling multiple architectural changes prevents isolating what actually solves the problem.
+
+### What Should Have Happened
+
+1. **Phase 1**: PowerShell spawning fix for Windows console popups (targeted, testable)
+2. **Phase 2**: Investigate zombie socket root cause (cleanup handlers vs runtime switch)
+3. **Phase 3**: If runtime switch justified, implement as Windows-conditional first
+4. **Phase 4**: Add queue monitoring as optional feature with in-memory state
+5. **Phase 5**: Add persistence only if in-memory insufficient
+
+### Key Takeaways
+
+- **Windows-specific issues don't justify global architectural changes** without clear evidence
+- **Platform-conditional logic is acceptable** when solving platform-specific problems
+- **Native module dependencies are heavy** - avoid unless necessary
+- **Performance regressions need explicit justification** - synchronous blocking, startup latency, polling overhead all impact UX
+- **Bundle size matters** - build tools, compilers, Python are significant requirements

+
+# 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)

+### 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.
+

+
+## 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.

+title: "Endless Mode (Beta)"
+description: "Experimental biomimetic memory architecture for extended sessions"
+---
+
+# Current State of Endless Mode
+
+## Core Concept
+
+Endless Mode is a **biomimetic memory architecture** that solves Claude's context window exhaustion problem. Instead of keeping full tool outputs in the context window (O(N²) complexity), it:
+
+- Captures compressed observations after each tool use
+- Replaces transcripts with low token summaries
+- Achieves O(N) linear complexity
+- Maintains two-tier memory: working memory (compressed) + archive memory (full transcript on disk, maintained by default claude code functionality)
+
+## Implementation Status
+
+**Status**: FUNCTIONAL BUT EXPERIMENTAL
+
+**Current Branch**: `beta/endless-mode` (ahead of main)
+
+**Recent Activity**:
+- Merged main branch changes
+- Resolved merge conflicts in save-hook, SessionStore, SessionRoutes
+- Updated documentation to remove misleading token reduction claims
+- Added important caveats about beta status
+
+## Key Architecture Components
+
+1. **Pre-Tool-Use Hook** - Tracks tool execution start, sends tool_use_id to worker
+2. **Save Hook (PostToolUse)** - **CRITICAL**: Blocks until observation is generated (110s timeout), injects compressed observation back into context
+3. **SessionManager.waitForNextObservation()** - Event-driven wait mechanism (no polling)
+4. **SDKAgent** - Generates observations via Agent SDK, emits completion events
+5. **Database** - Added `tool_use_id` column for observation correlation
+
+## Configuration
+
+```json
+{
+  "CLAUDE_MEM_ENDLESS_MODE": "false",  // Default: disabled
+  "CLAUDE_MEM_ENDLESS_WAIT_TIMEOUT_MS": "90000"  // 90 second timeout
+}
+```
+
+**Enable via**: Manual checkout of beta branch (see instructions below)
+
+## Flow
+
+```
+Tool Executes → Pre-Hook (track ID) → Tool Completes →
+Save-Hook (BLOCKS) → Worker processes → SDK generates observation →
+Event fired → Hook receives observation → Injects markdown →
+Clears input → Context reduced
+```
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+From the documentation:
+- ⚠️ **Slower than standard mode** - Blocking adds latency
+- ⚠️ **Still in development** - May have bugs
+- ⚠️ **Not battle-tested** - New architecture
+- ⚠️ **Theoretical projections** - Efficiency gains not yet validated in production
+
+## What's Working
+
+- ✅ Synchronous observation injection
+- ✅ Event-driven wait mechanism
+- ✅ Token reduction via input clearing
+- ✅ Database schema with tool_use_id
+- ✅ Web UI for version switching
+- ✅ Graceful timeout fallbacks
+
+## What's Not Ready
+
+- ❌ Production validation of token savings
+- ❌ Comprehensive test coverage
+- ❌ Stable channel release
+- ❌ Performance benchmarks
+- ❌ Long-running session data
+
+## How to Try Endless Mode
+
+Endless Mode is currently only available on the beta branch. To try it:
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to your claude-mem installation
+cd ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/thedotmack/
+
+# Checkout the beta branch
+git checkout beta/endless-mode
+
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Restart the worker
+npm run worker:restart
+```
+
+**To return to stable:**
+
+```bash
+cd ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/thedotmack/
+git checkout main
+npm install
+npm run worker:restart
+```
+
+## Summary
+
+The implementation is architecturally complete and functional, but remains experimental pending production validation of the theoretical efficiency gains.

+
+# 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
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+1. `<query>` - Search query (uses hybrid semantic + full-text search)
+2. `<output-file>` - Output JSON file path
+3. `--project=name` - Optional: filter results to a specific project
+
+**Example Output:**
+```
+🔍 Searching for: "windows"

+
+### 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:**
+```

+🔍 Query: "windows"
+📊 Contains:
+   • 54 observations
+   • 12 sessions
+   • 12 summaries
+   • 7 prompts
+
+🔄 Importing sessions...
+   ✅ Imported: 12, Skipped: 0
+🔄 Importing summaries...
+   ✅ Imported: 12, Skipped: 0
+🔄 Importing observations...
+   ✅ Imported: 54, Skipped: 0
+🔄 Importing prompts...

+   Summaries:    12 imported, 0 skipped
+   Observations: 54 imported, 0 skipped
+   Prompts:      7 imported, 0 skipped
+```
+
+### Re-importing (Duplicate Prevention)
+
+If you run the import again on the same file, duplicates are automatically skipped:
+
+```
+🔄 Importing sessions...
+   ✅ Imported: 0, Skipped: 12  ← All skipped (already exist)
+🔄 Importing summaries...
+   ✅ Imported: 0, Skipped: 12
+🔄 Importing observations...
+   ✅ Imported: 0, Skipped: 54
+🔄 Importing prompts...
+   ✅ Imported: 0, Skipped: 7
+```
+
+## 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
+```

 /**
 * 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.

 3. **Review** - Look at titles/dates/context, pick relevant IDs
 4. **Fetch** - Get full details ONLY for those IDs

 ### Step 1: Search Everything

-```bash
-curl "http://localhost:37777/api/search?query=authentication&format=index&limit=5"
-```
+Use the `search` MCP tool:

 **Required parameters:**
+
 - `query` - Search term
- `format=index` - ALWAYS start with index (lightweight)
- `limit=5` - Start small (3-5 results)
+- `limit: 20` - You can request large indexes as necessary
+- `project` - Project name (required)

 - `query` - What to search for (required)
- `format` - "index" or "full" (always use "index" first)
- `limit` - How many results (default 5, max 100)

+- `project` - Filter by project name (required)

 **Filters (optional):**
+
 - `type` - Filter to "observations", "sessions", or "prompts"
- `project` - Filter by project name
 - `dateStart` - Start date (YYYY-MM-DD or epoch timestamp)
 - `dateEnd` - End date (YYYY-MM-DD or epoch timestamp)

 ```

 ## Why This Workflow?

 **Token efficiency:**
- Index format: ~50-100 tokens per result
- Full format: ~500-1000 tokens per result
- **10x difference** - only fetch full when you know it's relevant
+
+- **Search results:** ~50-100 tokens per result (table index)
+- **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
- Pick what matters
- Get details only for what you need

-## 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)

 ---

-**Remember:** ALWAYS search with format=index first. ALWAYS fetch by ID for details. The IDs are there for a reason - USE THEM.
+**Remember:**
+
+- ALWAYS get timeline context to understand what was happening
+- ALWAYS use `get_batch_observations` when fetching 2+ observations
+- The workflow is optimized: search → timeline → batch fetch = 10-100x faster
