The ~/.claude/ directory was previously local-only — a machine wipe
would have lost the accumulated memory, custom skills, and settings.
This commit moves the durable parts into dotfiles with the same
symlink-to-home pattern used for CLAUDE.md, PENDING.md, REVIEWED.md,
and L2-BOOTSTRAP.md.
Preserved (symlinked from ~/.claude/* into here):
skills/audit/ — thinking-folder drift scanner
skills/symmetria/ — practice-of-return discipline
skills/vault-update-people/ — Obsidian People-file maintainer
skills/wake-up/ — session restoration
skills/wrap-up/ — session state capture
memory/ — 55+ memory files (MEMORY.md, sessions,
ledgers, project state, feedback, etc.)
settings/settings.json — user preferences (hooks, flags, no secrets)
Deliberately NOT backed up:
settings.local.json — contains operational secrets (HF_TOKEN,
SSH password in expect scripts); by naming
convention, *.local.* is not synced.
Needs separate review and probable rotation.
sessions/, history.jsonl, caches, telemetry — ephemeral
plugins/, marketplace skills and agents — reinstallable
The working copies at ~/.claude/skills/* and
~/.claude/projects/-Users-davidglidden/memory are symlinks into this
directory, so every write flows here automatically. install.sh
recreates the symlinks on a fresh machine.
FOLLOW-ON (flagged, not in this commit):
settings.local.json contains a HuggingFace token and an SSH password
as plaintext strings inside allowed Bash command patterns. These
should be rotated and moved to secure storage (keychain / pass /
env file outside the settings file).

# BMF summarizer-connector coupling (deferred refactor)
|
|
|
|
**Surfaced:** 2026-04-14, during the SQLite+LanceDB recall unblock session.
|
|
|
|
`src/factory/factory.ts::maybeGenerateSummary` implicitly requires the local_files observation shape:
|
|
- `source.item_type ∈ {'file','image','passage'}`
|
|
- `payload.metadata.file_path` (or `source.item_id`)
|
|
- `payload.metadata.mime_type` (unless item_type is `'file'` or `'image'`)
|
|
- `payload.metadata.size_bytes`
|
|
- `source.content_hash`
|
|
|
|
When `documentSummarizer.isAvailable()` is true, `processFactoryBatch` previously set `skipDispatch: true` uniformly for the whole batch. Any observation that didn't match the summarizer's entry guard was written to logchain and then silently dropped — never dispatched, never summarized. This was the actual cause of zero embeddings after 2,457 Obsidian notes ingested.
|
|
|
|
**Audit of `mime_type` usage across connectors (2026-04-14):**
|
|
- Sets it: local_files, google, obsidian (post-fix).
|
|
- Does NOT: claude_transcripts, slack, github, apple_calendar, apple_contacts, imessage, git, file_import.
|
|
|
|
Every connector in the second group drops content silently when a summarizer is available — until the partition fix landed.
|
|
|
|
## Why: fixes applied in this session
|
|
|
|
- **Structural safety net** (`factory.ts::processFactoryBatch`): partition the batch by a summary-eligibility predicate mirroring `maybeGenerateSummary`'s entry guard. Summarizable → `skipDispatch: true`; pass-through → `skipDispatch: false`. Guarantees every content type reaches modules regardless of summarizer shape.
|
|
- **Notes first-class** (`connectors/obsidian.ts`, `factory.ts::maybeGenerateSummary`): emit `mime_type: 'text/markdown'` + `file_path`; extend summarizer `'file'` branch to accept `'note'`. Notes get the quality path (summary, teacher enrichment eligible).
|
|
- **Provenance** (`factory.ts::generateAndObserveSummary`): `connector_id` and `factory:*` tag now use `job.connector_id` instead of hardcoded `'local_files'`.
|
|
|
|
## How to apply: the remaining `[PROPOSAL]`
|
|
|
|
**Not** "add `mime_type` everywhere." Most connectors (git, apple_contacts, apple_calendar, slack/imessage messages, claude_transcripts per-turn, short github comments) are correctly pass-through and should NOT be summarized. The right generalization is an explicit contract:
|
|
|
|
- Add `summarizable: boolean` to `ConnectorObservation` (or equivalent) — chosen per-connector.
|
|
- Dispatch partition uses the flag directly rather than inferring via item_type/mime_type.
|
|
- Summarizer accepts a generic-text shape (title + content + content_hash), not local_files-shaped metadata.
|
|
- Fail-loud telemetry: a batch with zero summaries AND zero pass-through dispatches should alarm, not silently succeed.
|
|
|
|
Touches connector contracts — deserves its own focused PR with Seb reviewing, not a tail-end addition to the storage-migration PR.
|
|
|
|
## When to revisit
|
|
|
|
- When opening the next L1 PR after the storage-migration one merges.
|
|
- Before onboarding any new text-bearing connector (the wrong default will keep catching people).
|
|
- If any recall quality investigation points at content-not-dispatched as a suspect — this is the mechanism.
