v7.3.0

Features

• Table-based search output: Unified timeline formatting with cleaner, more organized presentation of search results grouped by date and file
• Simplified API: Removed unused format parameter from MCP search tools for cleaner interface
• Shared formatting utilities: Extracted common timeline formatting logic into reusable module

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

v7.2.3 - Fix MCP Server Restart Timing

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

v7.1.15

🐛 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

v7.1.14 - Enhanced Error Messages & Timezone Logging

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
• tests/services/chroma-sync-errors.test.ts - ChromaSync error message consistency
• tests/integration/hook-execution-environments.test.ts - Bun PATH resolution across shells
• docs/context/TEST_AUDIT_2025-12-13.md - Comprehensive audit report

v7.1.11

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)
