TheFlow b67292d559 docs(session): clarify startup prompt works for new session OR compaction
Make it explicit that this prompt should be used for:
- Brand new sessions (fresh conversation)
- Continuing after context compaction

Per CLAUDE.md, session-init.js is mandatory in BOTH cases.

Optimal Startup Prompt - 2025-10-24

For Next Claude Instance

Use this prompt for:

  • Starting a brand NEW session (fresh conversation)
  • Continuing THIS session after context compaction

Copy and paste this prompt:


CONTINUATION/NEW SESSION - Tractatus Website Development

Per CLAUDE.md: session-init.js is MANDATORY both for new sessions AND after compaction.

Read SESSION_CLOSEDOWN_2025-10-24.md for complete context.

CRITICAL PRIORITIES:

  1. Framework Audit Logging FAILURE - Framework is NOT logging during Claude Code sessions

  2. Audit Dashboard Missing 6th Service - Currently shows 5 action types instead of 6

    • Missing: PluralisticDeliberationOrchestrator data
    • File: src/controllers/audit.controller.js
  3. Background Process Cleanup - 11 stray npm/node processes running

COMPLETED LAST SESSION:

  • Fixed newsletter DELETE button (ObjectId serialization)
  • Fixed audit analytics to read from MongoDB
  • Improved ESLint (108→78 errors)
  • Fixed three-layer cache invalidation

YOUR FIRST ACTIONS:

  1. Run node scripts/session-init.js per CLAUDE.md
  2. Verify local server on port 9000
  3. Investigate why framework doesn't log during sessions
  4. Fix audit dashboard to show all 6 service types

FOCUS: Framework self-auditing visibility - user expects to see daily operational data, not just test data.
