Root cause: Hooks provide session_id as the source of truth. We were adding unnecessary validation (checking if sessions exist, checking status, etc.) which caused 409 conflicts when continuing sessions after /exit. Changes: 1. worker-service.ts: Removed 409 "Session already exists" check in handleInit 2. SessionStore.ts: Made createSDKSession idempotent using INSERT OR IGNORE 3. new-hook.ts: Simplified to just call createSDKSession - no findActiveSDKSession, no reactivateSession logic, no status management 4. save-hook.ts: Removed session validation, use fixed port instead of session.worker_port 5. summary-hook.ts: Removed session validation, use fixed port instead of session.worker_port Philosophy: Hooks manage lifecycle, we just save data with whatever session_id they give us. No validation, no status checks, no guessing. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
