… (0.14.1) Make "every session records to the journal" reliable without spawning any model: - Rewrote MCP_INSTRUCTIONS into a non-negotiable "you are the recorder" ritual (open/resume a task → log decisions/rejections/findings at the moment → self-check before finishing → close with outcome). Delivered by task-journal-mcp every session over the MCP connection — works regardless of hooks, the strongest always-on lever. - New `task-journal nudge`: read-only hook that prints a UserPromptSubmit additionalContext reminder. No model, never spawns `claude -p`, zero cost. - install-hooks default now wires `nudge` on UserPromptSubmit (alongside the SessionStart resume) — both model-free. The per-message classifier stays opt-in via --auto-capture (which appends ingest-hook to the message events). - uninstall also strips the nudge hook; tests updated for the new default. fmt/clippy/test green.
