Added "WHEN NOT TO SUMMARIZE" section to buildSummaryPrompt that instructs the SDK to skip creating summaries for:
- Work already covered in previous prompts (prevents duplicates)
- Conversational banter with no deliverables
- Trivial requests (questions, status checks)
- Meta-discussions about memory system without shipped changes
Implementation:
- src/sdk/prompts.ts: Added WHEN NOT TO SUMMARIZE section with <skip_summary> output format
- src/sdk/parser.ts: Added skip_summary detection before parsing full summary XML
- src/sdk/parser.ts: Fixed observation type validation to include all 6 types (bugfix, feature, refactor, change, discovery, decision)
This should eliminate the duplicate summaries like the three "restore 6 types" summaries we saw for session d9137878.
