+/**
+ * cursor-run-hook.mjs — crash-resilient wrapper for coldstart Cursor hook entries.
+ *
+ * Same contract as codex-run-hook.mjs: a coldstart hook must NEVER block a tool
+ * call or spam the user, no matter what breaks. Cursor treats a hook's stdout as
+ * its decision, so a thrown handler must degrade to "no output" (fail-open), not
+ * a broken JSON blob. This wrapper guarantees exit 0 and no stdout on any failure.
+ *
+ * Three layers of protection (identical to the Codex/Claude wrappers):
+ *   1. This file imports ONLY node: built-ins, so it cannot fail at parse time.
+ *   2. process-level uncaughtException / unhandledRejection nets, installed
+ *      before any handler runs, catch async throws the try/catch would miss.
+ *   3. The handler runs inside a try; any throw is logged and we exit 0. Load the
+ *      real handler via dynamic import INSIDE the thunk so its own parse-time
+ *      import errors are caught here too.
+ *
+ * Failures log to <configDir>/coldstart/hook-errors.log, where configDir honors
+ * $CURSOR_HOME (incl. a leading ~) and falls back to ~/.cursor.
+ *
+ * Usage — keep the entry file's top-level imports to node: built-ins only:
+ *     #!/usr/bin/env node
+ *     import { runHook } from "./cursor-run-hook.mjs";
+ *     await runHook(async (input) => {
+ *       const { default: handle } = await import("./cursor-preguard-handler.mjs");
+ *       return handle(input);
+ *     });
+ *
+ * The handler receives the parsed stdin payload (or {} if stdin was empty/bad)
+ * and may return:
+ *   - undefined / null  → no stdout (fail-open: tool proceeds)
+ *   - a string          → written to stdout verbatim
+ *   - an object         → JSON.stringify'd to stdout (e.g. a preToolUse
+ *                         {permission:"deny",...} or a postToolUse {additional_context})

+process. We need to preserve the knowledge so that another agent in future can make use of your \
+findings. We are storing this in a notebook format and this notebook has to be backed by the \
+codebase you are working on.
+
+We need to save only the working knowledge of the codebase in a specific format so that it can \
+be searched and served to future cold agents. We don't need to store any general interaction you \
+had, just the knowledge about the codebase. As a part of your task, you must have done some \
+investigation, file reading, new file/feature addition or updated existing files or features. It \
+could have been a bug fix or any other operation on the codebase. We need to store it in the \
+below format —
+
+THE NOTEBOOK HAS THREE CONTAINERS. Put each piece of knowledge in its one home:
+
+1. FILE notes — write one for EVERY file you actually read and understood this session. No \
+judgment call about whether it seems obvious. First decide the file's CHARACTER:
+   - hub    = the file has no single purpose (models.py, helpers, utils). Knowledge lives per \
+SYMBOL, as facets: one facet for each symbol you worked with this session. Only symbols you \
+have firsthand knowledge of — never enumerate the rest.
+   - single = the file has one purpose. One summary, 1-3 sentences.
+   The best facet/summary says: what it does that the name doesn't tell you, what to watch out \
+for when changing it, and which tests or checks matter.
+
+2. FLOW notes — when your task traced how something works ACROSS files: the ordered story. Each \
+step points at a file (path + symbols) with its role in the story. A step never restates what a \
+file note already says — the detail lives in the file's facet; the flow links to it.
+
+3. LESSON notes — rare. Only one thing qualifies:
+   - a confirmed ABSENCE ("there is no X in this repo"), with the search terms that proved it.
+   If it is about one file or one symbol, it is a facet, not a lesson. Repo-wide rules and \
+conventions are the human's to define (CLAUDE.md / coldstart.md / AGENTS.md) — do not mint them here.
+
+Fixed a bug? The actual cause goes into the culpable file's facet, and the SYMPTOM words go \
+into that file note's "aliases" — the symptom is what a future agent will search. If the cause \
+spans files, the story is a flow.
+
+Read a note this session that turned out WRONG? Correct it now — same spec with its "id" \
+(fields merge; yours win), or op "retract" for a wrong claim. You are the warm agent; there is \
+no "next".
+
+RULES:
+- Codebase knowledge only — never the interaction, the user, or your own process.
+- Firsthand only: if it arrived secondhand (e.g. a subagent's report) and you did not verify it \
+yourself, do not store it.
+- If a future agent would not act differently for knowing it, do not store it.
+- SEARCH BEFORE YOU WRITE a flow or lesson: run \`node ${CLI} kb search "<your task words>" \
+--root ${root}\` once. If an existing flow already tells this mechanism's story, UPDATE it \
+(same spec with its "id") instead of writing a near-duplicate.
+- Note ids are never composed by you. In facet "flows" backlinks, reference a flow by its \
+EXACT title (as written in your flow spec) or by an id copied from kb search output — the \
+tool resolves titles to ids at write time. A typo prints a WARNING (the ref is kept but \
+dangling) — fix any warning the write prints, in this session. Never guess an id.
+- "verified": list every anchor path you actually read THIS session — that re-stamps its \
+freshness. Never list a file you did not open.
+- Paths are join keys: always repo-relative, exactly as they appear in the repo. Fix any path \
+warning the write prints — a wrong path is a silently dangling link.
+
+Files you touched this run, with their existing notes (read one before writing if you need to \
+see what it already says — never create a second note for the same file):
+
+${block}
+
+HOW TO WRITE — ONE Bash block TOTAL: author every spec with a heredoc and
+chain every write in the SAME block, flows before the file notes that
+reference them. Never author specs one-per-message with a file-editing tool —
+that is the single biggest waste of turns here.
+  cat > /tmp/spec-1.json <<'SPEC'
+  { ...flow... }
+SPEC
+  cat > /tmp/spec-2.json <<'SPEC'
+  { ...file note; facets reference the flow by its EXACT title... }
+SPEC
+  node ${CLI} kb write /tmp/spec-1.json --root ${root} --session ${sid} --force && \\
+  node ${CLI} kb write /tmp/spec-2.json --root ${root} --session ${sid} --force
+Chain the writes with && — if a flow write fails, its dependent file notes
+must not run. Never write the same note id twice.
+
+Spec shapes (only include fields you actually have):
+  file (hub):    {"type":"file-hub","path":"src/x.py","aliases":["symptom or search words"],

+/**
+ * kb-recall.mjs — UserPromptSubmit hook. Query-conditioned notebook recall.
+ *
+ * Runs `coldstart kb search --hook` with the USER'S PROMPT as the query and
+ * injects a POINTER page: title + gist + freshness per hit, never a full
+ * note body (the implant tier died 2026-07-06 — boilerplate poisoning showed
+ * a wrong implant demotes the right notes; a wrong pointer costs a glance).
+ * The injection floor (calibrated, in kb search) keeps boilerplate prompts
+ * silent. No hits, floor not met, or no notebook → nothing injected, zero tax.
+ *
+ * --hook mode is the latency-bounded, high-precision path: lane-1 text
+ * matching with a name/alias/anchor-channel requirement (strongOnly) + anchor
+ * hashing only (no code-index load, no keeper spawn, no absence re-runs).
+ * The full search belongs to the explicit `kb search` call.
+ *
+ * Injected notes are framed as DATA, NOT INSTRUCTIONS — committed notes
+ * arriving via PRs are a prompt-injection surface; the framing line is the
+ * cheap mitigation.
+ *
+ * Self-contained + fail-open: ANY error → exit 0 with no stdout → nothing
+ * injected, the prompt proceeds untouched.
