Bugfix Sprint: 2026-01-10

Critical Priority (Blocks Users)

#646 - Plugin bricks Claude Code - stdin fstat EINVAL crash

• Impact: Plugin completely bricks Claude Code on Linux. Users cannot recover without manual config editing.
• Root Cause: Bun's stdin handling causes fstat EINVAL when reading piped input
• Related Discussion: Check if this is a Bun upstream issue
• Investigate stdin handling in hook scripts
• Test on Linux with stdin piping
• Implement fix

#623 - Crash-recovery loop when memory_session_id not captured

• Impact: Infinite loop consuming API tokens, growing queue unbounded
• Root Cause: memory_session_id not captured, causes repeated crash-recovery
• Add null/undefined check for memory_session_id
• Add circuit breaker for crash-recovery attempts

High Priority

#638 - Worker startup missing JSON output causes hooks to appear stuck

• Impact: UI appears stuck during worker startup
• Ensure worker startup emits proper JSON status
• Add progress feedback to hook output

#641/#609 - CLAUDE.md files in subdirectories

• Impact: CLAUDE.md files scattered throughout project directories
• Note: This is a documented feature request that was never implemented (setting exists but doesn't work)
• Implement the disableSubdirectoryCLAUDEmd setting properly
• Or change default behavior to not create subdirectory files

#635 - JSON parsing error prevents folder context generation

• Impact: Folder context not generating, breaks context injection
• Root Cause: String spread instead of array spread
• Fix the JSON parsing logic
• Add proper error handling

Medium Priority

#582 - Tilde paths create literal ~ directories

• Impact: Directories named "~" created instead of expanding to home
• Use path expansion for tilde in all path operations
• Audit all path handling code

#642/#643 - ChromaDB search fails due to initialization timing

• Impact: Search fails with JSON parse error
• Note: #643 is a duplicate of #642
• Fix initialization timing issue
• Add proper async/await handling

#626 - HealthMonitor hardcodes ~/.claude path

• Impact: Fails for users with custom config directories
• Use configurable path instead of hardcoded ~/.claude
• Respect CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR or similar env var

#598 - Too many messages pollute conversation history

• Impact: Hook messages clutter conversation
• Reduce verbosity of hook messages
• Make message frequency configurable

Low Priority (Code Quality)

#648 - Empty catch blocks swallow JSON parse errors

• Add proper error logging to catch blocks in SessionSearch.ts

#649 - Inconsistent logging in CursorHooksInstaller

• Replace console.log with structured logger
• Note: 177 console.log calls across 20 files identified

Won't Fix / Not a Bug

#632 - Feature request for disabling CLAUDE.md in subdirectories

• Note: Covered by #641 implementation

#633 - Help request about Cursor integration

• Note: Documentation/support issue, not a bug

#640 - Arabic README translation

• Note: Documentation PR, not a bugfix

#624 - Beta testing strategy proposal

• Note: Enhancement proposal, not a bugfix

Already Fixed in v9.0.2

• Windows Terminal tab accumulation (#625/#628)
• Windows 11 compatibility - WMIC to PowerShell migration
• Claude Code 2.1.1 compatibility + path validation (#614)

---

Recommended Approach: Fix #646 first (critical blocker), then #623 (crash loop), then work through high priority issues in order of impact.
