Alex Newman 263a8d4c18 Add stderr option to Chroma client initialization for better error handling
- Updated the StdioClientTransport configuration in search-server.ts to include 'stderr: ignore' for the Chroma client.
- Modified the ChromaSync class in ChromaSync.ts to also set 'stderr: ignore' when initializing the Chroma client.

💡 Search Strategy:
ALWAYS search with index format FIRST to get an overview and identify relevant results.
This is critical for token efficiency - index format uses ~10x fewer tokens than full format.
Search workflow:
1. Initial search: Use default (index) format to see titles, dates, and sources
2. Review results: Identify which items are most relevant to your needs
3. Deep dive: Only then use format: "full" on specific items of interest
4. Narrow down: Use filters (type, dateRange, concepts, files) to refine results
Other tips:
• To search by concept: Use find_by_concept tool
• To browse by type: Use find_by_type with ["decision", "feature", etc.]
• To sort by date: Use orderBy: "date_desc" or "date_asc"`;
