Sessions start without waiting
A new session no longer waits on SQLite reading a project's whole history, or on cloud sync. On a 1.2 GB database the claude-mem SessionStart hook took about 3 seconds (up to 44 s at worst). The queries behind it now read a few hundred pages instead of tens of thousands, the precomputed context file is used even with cloud sync on, and nothing at session start waits on the network.
Performance
- Newest memories come straight from an index. SessionStart used to fetch every observation and summary in the project, including worktrees merged into it, and sort them all to keep the newest 50. On the database we measured that was about 21,700 rows (63 MB) per session start, and 0.8–1.7 s whenever those pages were not in memory. New indexes keyed on project and date (schema v63) let it read the newest rows for each project key and stop. The results are identical, and the query takes about 4 ms. (#4427)
- Project-alias lookups no longer load rows. Every context render resolves which stored project keys belong to the checkout. That lookup loaded each merged row just to read its project name: 7,499 pages for 31 keys. Covering indexes (schema v64) answer it from the index: 355 pages, 9 ms. (#4429)
- Local first with cloud sync on. The worker builds SessionStart context from the local database straight away. The pull from the sync hub still runs, but in the background, so a slow or unreachable hub never delays a session. The precomputed SessionStart context file no longer waits for a Realtime connection: the local database is the source of truth, and every change sync applies refreshes the file. (#4427)
- Cowork plugin skips the cloud read when claude-mem is installed locally. The
claude-mem-coworkhook no longer fetches context from cmem.ai, at session start or for agent prompts, on a machine where the local claude-mem hook already injects it. Cowork's cloud containers still read from cmem.ai. (#4427)
Features
- iFlytek Spark preset for the OpenAI-compatible provider (Astron MaaS, default model
spark-x2.5). (#4379)
Fixes
- Cloud sync no longer retries before the server's Retry-After minimum after jitter. (#4383)
- Full-text search: an interrupted FTS capability probe, or one seen from another connection, no longer turns off full-text search. (#4385)
- Field compression keeps the observation's context. (#4403)
- Streams: an interrupted SSE response, or a rejected early-stop cancellation, no longer leaves its stream locked (#4382). SSE clients are removed when Bun closes their socket (#4394).
- Logs: a log over 10 MiB with no newlines no longer makes the tail reader loop forever and block the worker. (#4393)
- Viewer: a failed pagination request releases the loading state and shows the error. (#4387)
- Parser: array entries that decode to whitespace are dropped instead of stored as blank facts. (#4397)
- Smart file outlines keep multiline imports (#4409), assign methods to the right class (#4406), and include generator functions (#4419).
