v7.3.2: Windows Console Fix + Security Hardening

🪟 Windows Console Fix

Fixes blank console windows appearing for Windows 11 users during claude-mem operations.

What Changed

• Windows: Uses PowerShell Start-Process -WindowStyle Hidden to properly hide worker process
• Security: Added PowerShell string escaping to follow security best practices
• Unix/Mac: No changes (continues to work as before)

Root Cause

The issue was caused by a Node.js limitation where windowsHide: true doesn't work with detached: true in child_process.spawn(). This affects both Bun and Node.js since Bun inherits Node.js process spawning semantics.

See: nodejs/node#21825

Security Note

While all paths in the PowerShell command are application-controlled (not user input), we've added proper escaping to follow security best practices. If an attacker could modify bun installation paths or plugin directories, they would already have full filesystem access including the database.

Related

• Fixes #304 (Multiple visible console windows)
• Merged PR #339
• Testing documented in PR #315

Breaking Changes

None - fully backward compatible.

v7.3.1 - Pending Messages Cleanup Fix

🐛 Bug Fixes

Pending Messages Cleanup (Issue #353)

Fixed unbounded database growth in the pending_messages table by implementing proper cleanup logic:

• Content Clearing: markProcessed() now clears tool_input and tool_response when marking messages as processed, preventing duplicate storage of transcript data that's already saved in observations
• Count-Based Retention: cleanupProcessed() now keeps only the 100 most recent processed messages for UI display, deleting older ones automatically
• Automatic Cleanup: Cleanup runs automatically after processing messages in SDKAgent.processSDKResponse()

What This Fixes

• Prevents database from growing unbounded with duplicate transcript content
• Keeps metadata (tool_name, status, timestamps) for recent messages
• Maintains UI functionality while optimizing storage

Technical Details

Files Modified:

• src/services/sqlite/PendingMessageStore.ts - Cleanup logic implementation
• src/services/worker/SDKAgent.ts - Periodic cleanup calls

Database Behavior:

• Pending/processing messages: Keep full transcript data (needed for processing)
• Processed messages: Clear transcript, keep metadata only (observations already saved)
• Retention: Last 100 processed messages for UI feedback

Related

• Fixes #353 - Observations not being saved
• Part of the pending messages persistence feature (from PR #335)

• Simplified API: Removed unused format parameter from MCP search tools for cleaner interface
• Shared formatting utilities: Extracted common timeline formatting logic into reusable module
• Batch observations endpoint: Added /api/observations/batch endpoint for efficient retrieval of multiple observations by ID array

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

What's Changed

Documentation

• Updated endless mode setup instructions with improved configuration guidance for better user experience

Full Changelog: v7.2.3...v7.2.4

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
