Alex Newman 3ea0b60b9f feat: Mode system with inheritance and multilingual support (#412)
* feat: add domain management system with support for multiple domain profiles

- Introduced DomainManager class for loading and managing domain profiles.
- Added support for a default domain ('code') and fallback mechanisms.
- Implemented domain configuration validation and error handling.
- Created types for domain configuration, observation types, and concepts.
- Added new directory for domain profiles and ensured its existence.
- Updated SettingsDefaultsManager to include CLAUDE_MEM_DOMAIN setting.

* Refactor domain management to mode management

- Removed DomainManager class and replaced it with ModeManager for better clarity and functionality.
- Updated types from DomainConfig to ModeConfig and DomainPrompts to ModePrompts.
- Changed references from domains to modes in the settings and paths.
- Ensured backward compatibility by maintaining the fallback mechanism to the 'code' mode.

* feat: add migration 008 to support mode-agnostic observations and refactor service layer references in documentation

* feat: add new modes for code development and email investigation with detailed observation types and concepts

* Refactor observation parsing and prompt generation to incorporate mode-specific configurations

- Updated `parseObservations` function to use 'observation' as a universal fallback type instead of 'change', utilizing active mode's valid observation types.
- Modified `buildInitPrompt` and `buildContinuationPrompt` functions to accept a `ModeConfig` parameter, allowing for dynamic prompt content based on the active mode.
- Enhanced `ModePrompts` interface to include additional guidance for observers, such as recording focus and skip guidance.
- Adjusted the SDKAgent to load the active mode and pass it to prompt generation functions, ensuring prompts are tailored to the current mode's context.

* fix: correct mode prompt injection to preserve exact wording and type list visibility

- Add script to extract prompts from main branch prompts.ts into code.yaml
- Fix prompts.ts to show type list in XML template (e.g., "[ bugfix | feature | ... ]")
- Keep 'change' as fallback type in parser.ts (maintain backwards compatibility)
- Regenerate code.yaml with exact wording from original hardcoded prompts
- Build succeeds with no TypeScript errors

* fix: update ModeManager to load JSON mode files and improve validation

- Changed ModeManager to load mode configurations from JSON files instead of YAML.
- Removed the requirement for an "observation" type and updated validation to require at least one observation type.
- Updated fallback behavior in the parser to use the first type from the active mode's type list.
- Added comprehensive tests for mode loading, prompt injection, and parser integration, ensuring correct behavior across different modes.
- Introduced new mode JSON files for "Code Development" and "Email Investigation" with detailed observation types and prompts.

* Add mode configuration loading and update licensing information for Ragtime

- Implemented loading of mode configuration in WorkerService before database initialization.
- Added PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0 to Ragtime directory.
- Created README.md for Ragtime with licensing details and usage guidelines.

* fix: add datasets directory to .gitignore to prevent accidental commits

* refactor: remove unused plugin package.json file

* chore: add package.json for claude-mem plugin with version 7.4.5

* refactor: remove outdated tests and improve error handling

- Deleted tests for ChromaSync error handling, smart install, strip memory tags, and user prompt tag stripping due to redundancy or outdated logic.
- Removed vitest configuration as it is no longer needed.
- Added a comprehensive implementation plan for fixing the modes system, addressing critical issues and improving functionality.
- Created a detailed test analysis report highlighting the quality and effectiveness of the current test suite, identifying areas for improvement.
- Introduced a new plugin package.json for runtime dependencies related to claude-mem hooks.

* refactor: remove parser regression tests to streamline codebase

* docs: update CLAUDE.md to clarify test management and changelog generation

* refactor: remove migration008 for mode-agnostic observations

* Refactor observation type handling to use ModeManager for icons and emojis

- Removed direct mappings of observation types to icons and work emojis in context-generator, FormattingService, SearchManager, and TimelineService.
- Integrated ModeManager to dynamically retrieve icons and emojis based on the active mode.
- Improved maintainability by centralizing the logic for observation type representation.

* Refactor observation metadata constants and update context generator

- Removed the explicit declaration of OBSERVATION_TYPES and OBSERVATION_CONCEPTS from observation-metadata.ts.
- Introduced fallback default strings for DEFAULT_OBSERVATION_TYPES_STRING and DEFAULT_OBSERVATION_CONCEPTS_STRING.
- Updated context-generator.ts to utilize observation types and concepts from ModeManager instead of constants.

* refactor: remove intermediate error handling from hooks (Phase 1)

Apply "fail fast" error handling strategy - errors propagate and crash loud
instead of being caught, wrapped, and re-thrown at intermediate layers.

Changes:
- Remove try/catch around fetch calls in all hooks - let errors throw
- Add try/catch ONLY around JSON.parse at entry points
- Delete error-handler.ts and hook-error-handler.ts (no longer needed)
- Update worker-utils.ts: functions now throw instead of returning null
- Update transcript-parser.ts: throw on missing path, empty file, malformed JSON
- Remove all handleWorkerError, handleFetchError imports

Philosophy: If something breaks, we KNOW it broke. No silent failures.

* refactor: remove intermediate error handling from worker service (Phase 2)

Apply "fail fast" error handling strategy to worker service layer.

Changes:
- worker-service.ts: Remove try/catch from version endpoint, cleanup,
  MCP close, process enumeration, force kill, and isAlive check
- SessionRoutes.ts: Remove try/catch from JSON.stringify calls, remove
  .catch() from Chroma sync and SDK agent calls
- SettingsRoutes.ts: Remove try/catch from toggleMcp()
- DatabaseManager.ts: Remove .catch() from backfill and close operations
- SDKAgent.ts: Keep outer try/catch (top-level), remove .catch() from
  Chroma sync operations
- SSEBroadcaster.ts: Remove try/catch from broadcast and sendToClient

Philosophy: Errors propagate and crash loud. BaseRouteHandler.wrapHandler
provides top-level catching for HTTP routes.

* refactor: remove error swallowing from SQLite services (Phase 3)

Apply "fail fast" error handling strategy to database layer.

SessionStore.ts migrations:
- ensureWorkerPortColumn(): Remove outer try/catch, let it throw
- ensurePromptTrackingColumns(): Remove outer try/catch, let it throw
- removeSessionSummariesUniqueConstraint(): Keep inner transaction
  rollback, remove outer catch
- addObservationHierarchicalFields(): Remove outer try/catch
- makeObservationsTextNullable(): Keep inner transaction rollback,
  remove outer catch
- createUserPromptsTable(): Keep inner transaction rollback, remove
  outer catch
- getFilesForSession(): Remove try/catch around JSON.parse

SessionSearch.ts:
- ensureFTSTables(): Remove try/catch, let it throw

Philosophy: Migration errors that are swallowed mean we think the
database is fine when it's not. Keep only inner transaction rollback
try/catch blocks.

* refactor: remove error hiding from utilities (Phase 4)

Apply "fail fast" error handling strategy to utility layer.

logger.ts:
- formatTool(): Remove try/catch, let JSON.parse throw on malformed input

context-generator.ts:
- loadContextConfig(): Remove try/catch, let parseInt throw on invalid settings
- Transcript extraction: Remove try/catch, let file read errors propagate

ChromaSync.ts:
- close(): Remove nested try/catch blocks, let close errors propagate

Philosophy: No silent fallbacks or hidden defaults. If something breaks,
we know it broke immediately.

* fix: Move summary prompts to mode files for multilingual support

Summary prompts were hardcoded in English in prompts.ts, breaking
multilingual support. Now properly mode-based:

- Added summary_instruction, summary_context_label,
  summary_format_instruction, summary_footer to code.json
- Updated buildSummaryPrompt() to use mode fields instead of hardcoded text
- Added summary_footer with language instructions to all 10 language modes
- Language modes keep English prompts + language requirement footer

This fixes the gaslighting where we claimed full multilingual support
but summaries were still generated in English.
