+ * Pre-compact hook for Claude Memory - Automatic Memory Extraction
+ *
+ * This script runs before context compaction and:
+ * 1. Analyzes conversation content for important information
+ * 2. Auto-extracts high-salience items (decisions, patterns, errors, etc.)
+ * 3. Saves them to the memory database automatically
+ * 4. Creates a session marker for continuity
+ *
+ * The goal: Never lose important context during compaction.
