fix(ingest): self-heal the Claude/Codex session-ingest hook#25
Merged
Conversation
The `kai log ingest` hook is registered by `kai init` with the path of the currently-running binary (os.Executable()). During a Claude Code session that is often an ephemeral copy in a temp scratchpad, so the absolute path baked into .claude/settings.local.json / .codex/hooks.json dies when the scratchpad is cleaned — and every session afterward silently logs nothing. Changes: - Bake a durable path into hooks: prefer ~/.kai/bin/kai, fall back to the running binary only if it isn't under a temp dir, else bare "kai" (PATH). - reconcileHookEvents(): prune stale ingest entries (dead/temp paths, old installs) and install the current one, without touching unrelated hooks. - Self-heal on every invocation (PersistentPreRun): repair-only — fix an existing ingest hook's stale path, never create a fresh install. - Root ingest at the git project, and never treat the global ~/.kai config dir as a repo root — previously sessions in repos without a local .kai walked up to $HOME and misfiled records into ~/.kai/loops (which didn't exist), so nothing was ever written. - `kai doctor` now audits ingest: hook installed? binary reachable? records being produced? `kai doctor --fix` repairs it. Bumps version 0.34.2 -> 0.34.3.

Problem
The
kai log ingesthook (registered bykai init, fired on Claude Code / CodexStop+SessionEnd) writes a machine-readable loop record to<repo>/.kai/loops/<session>.jsonfor the desktop Overview/Loops views. It was silently logging nothing:os.Executable(). During a Claude Code run that's often an ephemeral copy in a temp scratchpad (/tmp/claude-.../scratchpad/kai); when the scratchpad is cleaned the path dies and every session afterward no-ops.$HOME. Repos here have.gitbut no local.kai/, so the "nearest.kaiancestor" logic walked all the way up to the global~/.kaiconfig dir → root resolved to$HOME→ records aimed at~/.kai/loops, which doesn't exist. Nothing written.Observed: 4 repos, 0 loop records; two hooks pointing at dead temp copies, two with no hook.
Fix
stableKaiPath): prefer~/.kai/bin/kai, fall back to the running binary only if it isn't under a temp dir, else barekai(PATH).reconcileHookEvents: prune stale ingest entries (dead/temp paths, old installs) and install the current one — never touches unrelated hooks (TokenBar, prompt-logger).PersistentPreRun(selfHealAgentHooks): repair-only — fixes an existing ingest hook's stale path on anykaiinvocation; does not create fresh installs (that stays withkai init/kai doctor --fix).~/.kaifrom repo-root detection, so records land in<repo>/.kai/loopsinstead of$HOME.kai doctornow audits ingest (hook installed? binary reachable? records produced?);kai doctor --fixrepairs it.0.34.2→0.34.3.Verification
go build ./...,go vet, existing hook/ingest/doctor tests, and new unit tests (TestIsTempPath,TestReconcileHookEventsPrunesStale,TestReconcileHookEventsIdempotent) all pass.~/.kai/bin/kai; a simulatedStopevent wrote a real.kai/loops/<id>.json;kai doctorwent all-green.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
