Memory Persistence Not Working

[OmryB-datrails]

Hi!

For some reason I do not see that my generated *session.tmp files are being updated on session end.

I'm using latest Claude code and have the everything-claude-code plugin installed and enabled.
auto-compact is disabled

I created a dummy sessionEnd hook and saw it works.

Any tips on how to debug this problem? Using debug agents didn't seem to provide any solution.

Thanks!

As of the current repo, the important detail is that session persistence moved to the Stop lifecycle, not the old SessionEnd assumption. The reason is simple: Stop reliably carries transcript_path, which the persistence and eval scripts need.

So if your dummy SessionEnd hook fires but *session.tmp is not updating, the likely causes are:

1. stale plugin install or stale hooks config
2. Stop hook not installed or not enabled
3. the session hook being overridden or disabled
4. no readable transcript path reaching the hook

Concrete debug path:

• confirm your installed hook config has a Stop entry for session-end
• confirm you are on current plugin version
• check that ECC_DISABLED_HOOKS is not disabling stop:session-end
• run a short session, then inspect ~/.claude/sessions/

If this keeps coming up I should add a troubleshooting section specifically for session persistence.
