+#
+# It used to default to a venv the plugin owns:
+# "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/venv/bin/slm". So anyone who already had SuperLocalMemory
+# — from pip, pipx or npm — got a SECOND installation the moment they installed
+# the plugin, on its own schedule, upgraded separately, and easy to leave behind
+# a release. Installing a plugin should not fork your installation.
+#
+# It was also Claude-Code-only. ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA} is set by Claude Code and
+# by nothing else, so on Codex or Antigravity the path collapsed to
+# "/venv/bin/slm" and the server simply did not start.
+#
+# The default is now: USE THE SLM THAT IS ALREADY INSTALLED. A plugin-owned venv
+# is the fallback for a machine that has none, not the first choice.
+#
+# Environment (all optional):
+#   SLM_LAUNCHER       auto (default) — prefer an installed slm, else the plugin venv
+#                      system         — require the slm on PATH
+#                      plugin         — require the plugin's own venv
+#                      <path>         — an explicit slm binary (leading ~ expanded)

+::
+:: Cross-platform counterpart: slm-launch (POSIX bash)
+::
+:: NOT reached through plugin/.mcp.json. That file names the extensionless
+:: "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/slm-launch", and a host that spawns it without
+:: a shell (CreateProcess, Node spawn without shell) never resolves it to this
+:: .bat: CreateProcess cannot start a batch file and only appends .exe to a
+:: name without an extension. This file runs only when started through cmd.exe
+:: (for example a hand-written MCP entry using "cmd /c"). It does not read
+:: SLM_LAUNCHER; see MCP_JSON_NOTES.md and issue #139. Since 4.1.20 the plugin's
+:: .mcp.json starts the INSTALLED slm on Windows through %ComSpec% instead.
+:: Proven on the Windows CI runner: tests/test_plugin/test_windows_mcp_spawn_premise.py
+::
+:: Resolves the correct venv binary for Windows and joins the namespace daemon
+:: before opening MCP, preserving one writer for parallel Claude sessions.
+::
+:: On Windows, Python venv places entry points in Scripts\ (not bin\ like POSIX).
+:: This launcher bridges the path difference so ONE .mcp.json command field works
+:: cross-platform.

+# slm-resolve.sh — which SuperLocalMemory install does this plugin use?
+#
+# Sourced, never run. ONE answer to that question, shared by every script that
+# needs it:
+#   slm-launch      the MCP server
+#   slm-run         every lifecycle hook
+#   ensure-venv.sh  the plugin venv bootstrap (it only builds what will be used)
+# Before this file each of them decided on its own, and they disagreed: the
+# launcher fell back to the plugin venv, the hooks only ever tried a bare `slm`,
+# and the bootstrap built a venv even when nothing would run it.
+#
+# Environment (all optional):
+#   SLM_LAUNCHER       auto (default) — prefer an installed slm, else the plugin venv
+#                      system         — require the slm on PATH
+#                      plugin         — require the plugin's own venv
+#                      <path>         — an explicit slm binary (leading ~ expanded)
+#   CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA where a plugin-owned venv lives, when there is one
+#
+# After slm_choose returns 0:
+#   SLM_CHOICE        system | plugin | explicit
+#   SLM_CHOICE_BIN    the binary that choice names
+#   SLM_CHOICE_READY  1 when SLM_CHOICE_BIN is executable now, else 0
+#                     (a plugin venv that SessionStart has not built yet is 0)

+#   SLM_RESOLVE_ERROR what was asked for and why it cannot be honoured
+#
+# Safe under `set -euo pipefail`: every variable read has a default.
