+# ================================================================
+# claude-code-version-pin-advisor.sh — SessionStart advisory for
+# Cluster 16 (v2.1.154+ messages role 'system' API 400)
+# ================================================================
+# PURPOSE:
+#   Claude Code v2.1.154 onward shipped a request-assembly
+#   regression that serializes `system`-role content from
+#   SessionStart hooks, plugin context, Skill metadata, and
+#   compaction summaries as peer entries inside the `messages[]`
+#   array instead of the top-level `system` field. The Anthropic
+#   Messages API rejects this with `API Error: 400 messages[N].role
+#   must be either 'user' or 'assistant', but got 'system'`.
+#
+#   Four sub-patterns surface this defect:
+#     16A — Custom agents via /agents (Issue #63457)
+#     16B — Strict Anthropic-compatible providers (#63366, #63469)
+#     16C — VS Code extension (#63473, #63510)
+#     16D — Long-lived session context operations (#63396 Variant 1)
+#
+#   The defect lives in code paths the hook layer cannot reach at
+#   request-assembly time. No hook can prevent the 400. The only
+#   workaround is the version pin to v2.1.153.
+#
+#   This hook surfaces the warning at SessionStart so the operator
+#   knows the workaround BEFORE they lose a session to the 400.
+#   It does not block; it advises.
+#
+# DETECTION:
+#   At SessionStart, parse `claude --version` (or read
+#   CLAUDE_CODE_VERSION env var if set) to obtain the running
+#   semver. Compare against the threshold (default 2.1.154). If
+#   at or above, emit an advisory naming the four sub-patterns
+#   and the pin command.
+#
+# TRIGGER: SessionStart
+# MATCHER: (none)
+#
+# OUTPUT:
+#   Advisory only, never blocks. Prints to stderr.
+#
+# CONFIGURATION:
+#   CC_VERSION_PIN_ADVISOR_DISABLE=1    — disable entirely
+#   CC_VERSION_PIN_ADVISOR_QUIET=1      — silence after
+#                                         acknowledgment
+#   CC_VERSION_PIN_ADVISOR_THRESHOLD    — override threshold semver
+#                                         (default "2.1.154")
+#   CC_VERSION_PIN_ADVISOR_CLAUDE_BIN   — override path to claude
+#                                         binary (default: look up
+#                                         on PATH)
+#   CLAUDE_CODE_VERSION                 — if set, the hook uses this
+#                                         instead of calling
+#                                         `claude --version`. Useful
+#                                         for tests and for
+#                                         environments where the
+#                                         binary lookup is slow.

+# DESIGN NOTES:
+#   - The hook does NOT pin the version. The operator decides.
+#     The hook surfaces the advisory so the operator can decide.
+#   - The semver comparison is done in pure bash (no external
+#     dependencies on sort -V or similar). Each component is
+#     compared numerically; suffix tags (e.g. "-beta") are
+#     stripped.
+#   - When the version output is malformed or the binary is
+#     missing, the hook fails open (exit 0 silent). It does NOT
+#     warn that detection failed — that would be a noise source
+#     in environments where Claude Code is invoked through a
+#     wrapper or shim that doesn't expose --version.

+# claude-md-reinjector.sh — Re-inject CLAUDE.md to counter instruction drift
+#
+# Solves: #49244 — Opus 4.6 quality regression starting ~April 15, 2026.
+#         Users report Claude Code ignoring CLAUDE.md instructions, failing
+#         to update memory files, and making repeated mistakes.
+#
+#         Root cause (community-documented): Claude Code wraps CLAUDE.md in
+#         a framing that marks it as "may or may not be relevant", which
+#         reduces its salience after ~50+ tool calls as the conversation
+#         grows. Reported by Microsoft research manager, Fortune, The Register
+#         (April 2026).
+#
+# HOW IT WORKS:
+#   Counts tool calls per session. Every N calls (default 50), prints the
+#   project's CLAUDE.md to stderr. Claude Code reads PreToolUse stderr as
+#   additional context, so this effectively re-injects the instructions
+#   at a cadence the user controls.
+#
+#   Prints a short header marking the injection as a hook-triggered reminder,
+#   so Claude treats the content as an explicit re-statement of rules rather
+#   than part of the current file being edited.
+#
+# WHY THIS MATTERS:
+#   Without re-injection, long sessions drift: Claude "forgets" that the
+#   project bans comments, forgets the test command, forgets naming rules.
+#   The user then has to re-paste CLAUDE.md manually — burning their own
+#   tokens on work the hook can do deterministically.

+# claude-update-smart.sh — skip 226 MB tarball download when already up-to-date
+# Why: `claude update` downloads the full ~226 MB release tarball on every
+#      invocation, even when the installed version is already latest (Issue
+#      #51243, opened 2026-04-20, platform:wsl, status:open). A typical
+#      connection sees ~30 s wall time per update check and silently burns
+#      metered bandwidth.
+# Fix: Before calling `claude update`, query the npm registry (~2 KB response)
+#      for the latest version. If the installed `claude --version` matches,
+#      exit 0 with "up to date" message and skip the download entirely. Cache
+#      the registry lookup for 1 h to avoid repeated small queries.
+# Install:
+#   cp examples/claude-update-smart.sh ~/bin/claude-update  # shadow the real one
+#   chmod +x ~/bin/claude-update
+# Or alias in your shell rc:
+#   alias claude-update='bash ~/path/to/claude-update-smart.sh'
+#
+# Environment overrides (for tests and offline use):
+#   CLAUDE_UPDATE_SMART_LOCAL=x.y.z    force-reported local version
+#   CLAUDE_UPDATE_SMART_LATEST=x.y.z   force-reported latest version
+#   CLAUDE_UPDATE_SMART_CACHE=<path>   override cache location
+#   CLAUDE_UPDATE_SMART_TTL=<seconds>  override cache TTL (default 3600)
+#   CLAUDE_UPDATE_SMART_NO_EXEC=1      print the decision but do not call `claude update`
