+# ccRecall backfill extraction — re-run memory extraction for sessions whose
+# original run never happened.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   scripts/backfill-extract.sh <session-id> [session-id...]
+#   scripts/backfill-extract.sh --from-log        # sessions this bug killed
+#   scripts/backfill-extract.sh --from-log --dry-run
+#
+# Options:
+#   --dry-run       resolve and report, run nothing
+#   --force         re-extract even when memories already exist for that session
+#   --from-log      sessions killed by the argv-size bug, in either wording:
+#                   "argument too large" (cmux) or "Argument list too long" (Linux)
+#   --from-log-all  every non-zero exit in the log — mostly ancient sessions
+#                   whose transcript Claude Code has since deleted
+#
+# Why this exists (2026-09-15): post-session-extract.sh used to pass the whole
+# transcript as one argv parameter (capped at 200,000 bytes), and a single argv
+# parameter has a ceiling well below that cap:
+#
+#   - on Linux, the kernel's own MAX_ARG_STRLEN (32 PAGES — 131,072 bytes at a
+#     4kB page size, but 2 MiB at 64kB pages, so larger-page systems sit above
+#     our cap and were never affected), which fails execve with E2BIG. No
+#     wrapper involved;
+#   - on macOS, nothing by default, but cmux installs a `claude` shim first on
+#     PATH (CMUX_CLAUDE_WRAPPER_SHIM_ROOT) that rejects any single argument over
+#     122,880 bytes with exit 2 before claude ever starts.
+#
+# So every session with a transcript past that point extracted NOTHING — a clean
+# 0-second failure, with the real reason only in extract.log.jsonl's stderr field.
+#
+# That wrapper now sends its prompt over stdin too (#120), so no NEW session is
+# lost this way. This script stays for the ones lost before the fix: their
+# transcripts are still on disk, so they are recoverable. It feeds the prompt
+# over STDIN, which the shim does not inspect (verified: 300KB over stdin
+# returns rc=0).
+#
+# Read-only toward ~/.claude — it only reads the session JSONL.
