Alex Newman e1ab73decc feat: Live Context System with Distributed CLAUDE.md Generation (#556)
* docs: add folder index generator plan

RFC for auto-generating folder-level CLAUDE.md files with observation
timelines. Includes IDE symlink support and root CLAUDE.md integration.

* feat: implement folder index generator (Phase 1)

Add automatic CLAUDE.md generation for folders containing observed files.
This enables IDE context providers to access relevant memory observations.

Core modules:
- FolderDiscovery: Extract folders from observation file paths
- FolderTimelineCompiler: Compile chronological timeline per folder
- ClaudeMdGenerator: Write CLAUDE.md with tag-based content replacement
- FolderIndexOrchestrator: Coordinate regeneration on observation save

Integration:
- Event-driven regeneration after observation save in ResponseProcessor
- HTTP endpoints for folder discovery, timeline, and manual generation
- Settings for enabling/configuring folder index behavior

The <claude-mem-context> tag wrapping ensures:
- Manual CLAUDE.md content is preserved
- Auto-generated content won't be recursively observed
- Clean separation between user and system content

* feat: add updateFolderClaudeMd function to CursorHooksInstaller

Adds function to update CLAUDE.md files for folders touched by observations.
Uses existing /api/search/by-file endpoint, preserves content outside
<claude-mem-context> tags, and writes atomically via temp file + rename.

* refactor: remove old folder-index implementation

Deletes redundant folder-index services that were replaced by the simpler
updateFolderClaudeMd approach in CursorHooksInstaller.ts.

Removed:
- src/services/folder-index/ directory (5 files)
- FolderIndexRoutes.ts
- folder-index settings from SettingsDefaultsManager
- folder-index route registration from worker-service

* feat: add worktree-aware project filtering for unified timelines

Detect git worktrees and show both parent repo and worktree observations
in the session start timeline. When running in a worktree, the context
now includes observations from both projects, interleaved chronologically.

- Add detectWorktree() utility to identify worktree directories
- Add getProjectContext() to return parent + worktree projects
- Update context hook to pass multi-project queries
- Add queryObservationsMulti() and querySummariesMulti() for IN clauses
- Maintain backward compatibility with single-project queries

* fix: restructure logging to prove session correctness and reduce noise

Add critical logging at each stage of the session lifecycle to prove the session ID chain (contentSessionId → sessionDbId → memorySessionId) stays aligned. New logs include CREATED, ENQUEUED, CLAIMED, MEMORY_ID_CAPTURED, STORING, and STORED. Move intermediate migration and backfill progress logs to DEBUG level to reduce noise, keeping only essential initialization and completion logs at INFO level.

* refactor: extract folder CLAUDE.md utils to shared location

Moves folder CLAUDE.md utilities from CursorHooksInstaller to a new
shared utils file. Removes Cursor registry dependency - file paths
from observations are already absolute, no workspace lookup needed.

New file: src/utils/claude-md-utils.ts
- replaceTaggedContent() - preserves user content outside tags
- writeClaudeMdToFolder() - atomic writes with tag preservation
- formatTimelineForClaudeMd() - API response to compact markdown
- updateFolderClaudeMdFiles() - orchestrates folder updates

* fix: trigger folder CLAUDE.md updates when observations are saved

The folder CLAUDE.md update was previously only triggered in
syncAndBroadcastSummary, but summaries run with observationCount=0
(observations are saved separately). Moved the update logic to
syncAndBroadcastObservations where file paths are available.

* chore: rebuild plugin scripts with merged features

* docs: add project-specific CLAUDE.md with architecture and development notes

* fix: exclude project root from auto-generated CLAUDE.md updates

Skip folders containing .git directory when auto-updating subfolder
CLAUDE.md files. This ensures:

1. Root CLAUDE.md remains user-managed and untouched by the system
2. SessionStart context injection stays pristine throughout the session
3. Subfolder CLAUDE.md files continue to receive live context updates
4. Cleaner separation between user-authored root docs and auto-generated folder indexes

* fix: prevent crash from resuming stale SDK sessions on worker restart

When the worker restarts, it was incorrectly passing the `resume` parameter
to INIT prompts (lastPromptNumber=1) when a memorySessionId existed from a
previous SDK session. This caused "Claude Code process exited with code 1"
crashes because the SDK tried to resume into a session that no longer exists.

Root cause: The resume condition only checked `hasRealMemorySessionId` but
did not verify that this was a CONTINUATION prompt (lastPromptNumber > 1).

Fix: Add `session.lastPromptNumber > 1` check to the resume condition:
- Before: `...(hasRealMemorySessionId && { resume: session.memorySessionId })`
- After: `...(hasRealMemorySessionId && session.lastPromptNumber > 1 && { resume: ... })`

Also added:
- Enhanced debug logging that warns when skipping resume for INIT prompts
- Unit tests in tests/sdk-agent-resume.test.ts (9 test cases)

* fix: properly handle Chroma MCP connection errors

Previously, ensureCollection() caught ALL errors from chroma_get_collection_info
and assumed they meant "collection doesn't exist", triggering unnecessary
collection creation attempts. Connection errors like "Not connected" or
"MCP error -32000: Connection closed" would cascade into failed creation attempts.

Similarly, queryChroma() would silently return empty results when the MCP call
failed, masking the underlying connection problem.

Changes:
- ensureCollection(): Detect connection errors and re-throw immediately instead
  of attempting collection creation
- queryChroma(): Wrap MCP call in try-catch and throw connection errors instead
  of returning empty results
- Both methods reset connection state (connected=false, client=null) on
  connection errors so subsequent operations can attempt to reconnect

* pushed

* fix: scope regenerate-claude-md.ts to current working directory

Critical bug fix: The script was querying ALL observations from the database
across ALL projects ever recorded (1396+ folders), then attempting to write
CLAUDE.md files everywhere including other projects, non-existent paths, and
ignored directories.

Changes:
- Use git ls-files to discover folders (respects .gitignore automatically)
- Filter database query to current project only (by folder name)
- Use relative paths for database queries (matches storage format)
- Add --clean flag to remove auto-generated CLAUDE.md files
- Add fallback directory walker for non-git repos

Now correctly scopes to 26 folders with observations instead of 1396+.

* docs and adjustments

* fix: cleanup mode strips tags instead of deleting files blindly

The cleanup mode was incorrectly deleting entire files that contained
<claude-mem-context> tags. The correct behavior (per original design):

1. Strip the <claude-mem-context>...</claude-mem-context> section
2. If empty after stripping → delete the file
3. If has remaining content → save the stripped version

Now properly preserves user content in CLAUDE.md files while removing
only the auto-generated sections.

* Update CLAUDE.md files for January 5, 2026

- Regenerated and staged 23 CLAUDE.md files with a mix of new and modified content.
- Fixed cleanup mode to properly strip tags instead of deleting files blindly.
- Cleaned up empty CLAUDE.md files from various directories, including ~/.claude and ~/Scripts.
- Conducted dry-run cleanup that identified a significant reduction in auto-generated CLAUDE.md files.
- Removed the isAutoGeneratedClaudeMd function due to incorrect file deletion behavior.

* feat: use settings for observation limit in batch regeneration script

Replace hard-coded limit of 10 with configurable CLAUDE_MEM_CONTEXT_OBSERVATIONS
setting (default: 50). This allows users to control how many observations appear
in folder CLAUDE.md files.

Changes:
- Import SettingsDefaultsManager and load settings at script startup
- Use OBSERVATION_LIMIT constant derived from settings at both call sites
- Remove stale default parameter from findObservationsByFolder function

* build asset

* Project Context from Claude-Mem auto-added (can be auto removed at any time)

* CLAUDE.md updates

* fix: resolve CLAUDE.md files to correct directory in worktree setups

When using git worktrees, CLAUDE.md files were being written relative to
the worker's process.cwd() instead of the actual project directory. This
fix threads the project's cwd from message processing through to the file
writing utilities, ensuring CLAUDE.md files are created in the correct
project directory regardless of where the worker was started.

Changes:
- Add projectRoot parameter to updateFolderClaudeMdFiles for path resolution
- Thread projectRoot through ResponseProcessor call chain
- Track lastCwd from messages in SDKAgent, GeminiAgent, OpenRouterAgent
- Add tests for relative/absolute path handling with projectRoot

* more project context updates

* context updates

* fix: preserve actual dates in folder CLAUDE.md generation

Previously, formatTimelineForClaudeMd used today's date for all
observations because the API only returned time (e.g., "4:30 PM")
without date information. This caused all historical observations
to appear as if they happened today.

Changes:
- SearchManager.findByFile now groups results by date with headers
  (e.g., "### Jan 4, 2026") matching formatSearchResults behavior
- formatTimelineForClaudeMd now parses these date headers and uses
  the correct date when constructing epochs for date grouping

The timeline dates are critical for claude-mem context - LLMs need
accurate temporal context to understand when work happened.
