Memory Persistence Hooks

These lifecycle hook definitions document ECC's memory persistence contract for Claude Code plugin and manual installs.

The executable implementations live in scripts/hooks/:

• session-start.js loads bounded prior context, detects project state, and prepares session metadata.
• pre-compact.js captures state before context compaction.
• session-end.js persists session-end summaries when transcript metadata is available.
• observe-runner.js records tool-use observations for continuous learning.
• session-activity-tracker.js records tool usage and file activity for ECC2 status and observability.

The installed hook graph is still hooks/hooks.json. This directory is the stable, human-readable lifecycle definition surface referenced by the harness audit and longform docs.

Lifecycle Contract

Event	Hook	Purpose	Blocking
SessionStart	session:start	Load bounded prior context and project metadata	no
PreCompact	pre:compact	Save state before compaction	no
PreToolUse	pre:observe:continuous-learning	Capture tool intent for learning signals	no
PostToolUse	post:observe:continuous-learning	Capture tool result for learning signals	no
PostToolUse	post:session-activity-tracker	Record tool and file activity for ECC2 metrics	no
Stop	stop:format-typecheck	Batch quality gate after edits	yes on hook failure
Stop	stop:check-console-log	Audit modified files for debug logging	warn/error by hook output

Operator Expectations

• Keep persistence local by default.
• Avoid sending transcripts or tool traces to hosted services unless a user explicitly enables an integration.
• Bound context loaded at session start with ECC_SESSION_START_MAX_CHARS.
• Allow opt-out with ECC_SESSION_START_CONTEXT=off.
• Keep lifecycle hooks profile-gated through ECC_HOOK_PROFILE and ECC_DISABLED_HOOKS.
