v0.8.1 — Usage tracker fix

Fixed

• Usage tracker (track-usage.sh) silently logged every invocation as "unknown" — it read tool name/input from env vars (CLAUDE_TOOL_NAME/CLAUDE_TOOL_INPUT) that Claude Code never sets. The PostToolUse hook payload actually arrives as JSON on stdin. Rewrote the script to parse stdin directly, with atomic file-locked writes and errors routed to ~/.moltbloat/errors.log instead of failing silently.

This had been degrading /moltbloat:usage data since the hook was introduced.

Full Changelog: v0.8.0...v0.8.1

v0.8.0

Added

• /moltbloat:audit --deep — multi-agent forensic audit: 7 scoped auditors, adversarial verification of every high-severity finding, ideation lenses, and a polished shareable HTML report with a token-waste ledger and phased cleanup plan. Flags: --thorough, --no-ideas, --yes. New support files: scripts/deep-recon.py (deterministic read-only ground truth), scripts/deep-audit-workflow.js (canonical orchestration, degrades gracefully without Workflow/subagents), and skills/audit/{deep-audit.md,report-template.html}.

Removed

• Historical design spec from docs/superpowers/specs/ (recoverable from git history).

moltbloat v0.7.1

🎉 moltbloat v0.7.1

Audit your Claude Code ecosystem for bloat, redundancy, and token waste.

The headline of this release: /moltbloat:usage now finds bloat by mining your actual Claude Code history — retroactively, from the very first run.

---

✨ What's New

Retroactive usage mining (/moltbloat:usage)

• Mines Claude Code's native session transcripts (~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl) as the primary data source — no more waiting weeks for the tracking hook to accumulate data. It works immediately.
• New scripts/parse-history.py streams every transcript and aggregates real tool, MCP server, skill, and subagent usage with per-item count, first_used, last_used, and sessions. Flags: --since <days>, --json.
• Recency tiers — every installed component is classified ACTIVE / STALE / NEVER against a configurable window (thresholds.stale_days, default 30).
• Disable suggestions — never/stale MCPs, plugins, and agents come with the exact disable command (read-only — moltbloat never runs them).
• moltbloat's own PostToolUse hook log is now supplemental corroboration rather than the sole source.

---

🛡️ Fixed

No false-positive disable suggestions

• Plugins that deliver value through surfaces the miner can't see — LSP providers, statuslines, hooks-only, and command-only plugins — were wrongly flagged "never used." The usage skill now computes an observability check: a plugin is judged from history only if it has a measurable surface (skill/agent/MCP) or has history attributed to it. Unobservable plugins go to a "review manually" section and never appear in disable suggestions.
• Slash commands that are logged via the Skill tool are now correctly tiered by recency.

/moltbloat:doctor → /moltbloat:diagnose

• The doctor skill collided with Claude Code's built-in /doctor command and hijacked it via generic trigger words. Renamed to /moltbloat:diagnose with scoped triggers that defer to the built-in. Breaking: update any references to the old command name.

---

⚙️ Config

• Schema v1.2 — adds thresholds.stale_days (default 30). Existing configs migrate automatically.
