|
|
|
**Purpose**: Document session management for Working Paper v0.1
|
|

|
|
**Scope**: Session initialization, closedown, handoff continuity
|

## Session Management Scripts
|
|
|
|
**session-init.js**:
|
|
- Purpose: Initialize framework at session start
|
|
- Checks: 9 mandatory checks (server, components, instructions, etc.)
|
|
- New Feature (inst_083): Handoff auto-injection
|
|
- Last Updated: Commit 292c9ce (2025-10-25)
|
|
|
|
**session-closedown.js**:
|
|
- Purpose: Clean shutdown with handoff creation
|
|
- Phases: 6 phases (cleanup, analysis, git, deployment, handoff, marker)
|
|
- New Feature: Dev server protection (port 9000)
|
|
- Last Updated: Commit 4716f0e (2025-10-25)

## Handoff Auto-Injection (inst_083)
|
|
|
|
**Implementation Date**: 2025-10-25 (Commit 292c9ce)
|
|
|
|
**Problem Solved**: 27027-style pattern recognition failure
|
|
- Claude was skipping handoff document reading
|
|
- Pattern "Warmup → session-init → ready" overrode explicit instruction
|
|
|
|
**Solution**: Architectural enforcement
|
|
- session-init.js Section 1a automatically detects SESSION_CLOSEDOWN_*.md
|
|
- Extracts and displays:
|
|
- Priorities from previous session
|
|
- Recent commits (recent work)
|
|
- Known issues/blockers
|
|
- Cleanup summary
|
|
|
|
**Verification**: Tested this session
|
|
- Handoff context auto-injected on session start
|
|
- Priorities extracted correctly
|
|
- RESEARCH_DOCUMENTATION_PLAN.md commit visible
|
|
|
|
**Impact**: Makes handoff context unavoidable (no voluntary compliance needed)
|
|

## Session State Tracking
|
|
|
|
**Location**: .claude/session-state.json
|
|
|
|
**Tracked Metrics**:
|
|
- Session ID
|
|
- Message count
|
|
- Token estimate
|
|
- Framework activity per component
|
|
- Staleness thresholds
|
|
- Alerts
|
|
|
|
**Current State** (from framework-stats.js):
|
|
- Session ID: 2025-10-07-001
|
|
- Message Count: 1 (appears stale/not updated)
|
|
- Action Count: 1,332+
|
|
- Context Pressure: NORMAL (0%)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Token Checkpoints
|
|
|
|
**Location**: .claude/token-checkpoints.json
|
|
|
|
**Configuration**:
|
|
- Budget: 200,000 tokens
|
|
- Checkpoints: 25% (50k), 50% (100k), 75% (150k)
|
|
- Purpose: Pressure monitoring and compaction planning
|
|
|
|
**Current Session**:
|
|
- Next checkpoint: 50,000 tokens (25%)
|
|
- Completed checkpoints: None yet
|
|
- Current usage: ~134k / 200k (67%)
|
|
|

|
## Context Pressure Monitoring
|
|
|
|
**Component**: ContextPressureMonitor
|
|
**Trigger Points**: Session start, checkpoints (50k, 100k, 150k)
|
|
|
|
**Current Pressure**: NORMAL (0%)
|
|
|
|
**Formula** (from code):
|
|
- Token score: (current / budget) * 40
|
|
- Message score: (count / threshold) * 30
|
|
- Task score: (open / 10) * 30
|
|
- Overall: Sum of scores
|
|
|
|
**Thresholds**:
|
|
- NORMAL: 0-30%
|
|
- ELEVATED: 30-50%
|
|
- HIGH: 50-75%
|
|
- CRITICAL: 75-100%

## Session Continuity Test (This Session)
|
|
|
|
**Test Conducted**: Phase 0.1
|
|
|
|
**Steps**:
|
|
1. ✅ Ran session-closedown.js --dry-run
|
|
2. ✅ Verified handoff document creation
|
|
3. ✅ Simulated new session start
|
|
4. ✅ Verified handoff context auto-injected
|
|
5. ✅ Confirmed priorities extracted correctly
|
|
|
|
**Result**: Session lifecycle working as designed
|
|
|
|
**Bug Found**: session-closedown was killing dev server
|
|
**Fix Applied**: Added port 9000 protection
|
|

|
## What These Metrics Show
|
|
|
|
**Strengths**:
|
|
- Session lifecycle architecture working
|
|
- Handoff auto-injection prevents context loss
|
|
- Framework activity tracked per component
|
|
- Pressure monitoring operational
|
|
|
|
**Limitations**:
|
|
- Session state appears stale (message count = 1)
|
|
- Token estimate not synchronized
|
|
- Limited historical session data
|
|
- Single session tested (this one)
|
|

## Verification
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# List handoff documents
|
|
ls SESSION_*.md
|
|
|
|
# Test session-init
|
|
node scripts/session-init.js
|
|
|
|
# Test session-closedown (dry-run)
|
|
node scripts/session-closedown.js --dry-run
|
|
|
|
# Check session state
|
|
cat .claude/session-state.json | jq
|
|
|
|
# Check token checkpoints
|
|
cat .claude/token-checkpoints.json | jq
|
|
```
