vector-memory

1/**
2 * vector-memory mods (Claude Code function hooks): waypoint checkpoints.
3 *
4 * Compaction — wraps every compaction of the main conversation: drafts and
5 * saves a waypoint first (`/compact <text>` steers it), runs the engine's
6 * compaction, then appends the waypoint to the compacted conversation.
7 *
8 * /clear and /exit (and aliases: /new, /reset, /quit) — before the command
9 * runs (`session.end` is too short-lived to draft one), per the
10 * `exitCheckpoint` option: `ask` puts the choice to the person (save, skip,
11 * cancel the command, or type notes under "Other" that steer the waypoint),
12 * `always` saves without asking, `never` does nothing.
13 *
14 * Session start and after /clear — the classic SessionStart hooks load the
15 * latest waypoint as context; this wraps them, per the `loadCheckpoint`
16 * option: `ask` puts loading it to the person (and drops it on "Start
17 * fresh"), `always` keeps it, `never` drops it. A waypoint the person chose
18 * to save at the /clear just run is loaded without asking again.
19 *
20 * Every failure degrades to the command, compaction or start running as usual.
21 * Loaded by Claude Code builds with the mod system (via `modules` in
22 * hooks.json); older builds ignore it and keep the classic command hooks.
