Healthy → wounded: 50% per clean run (avg ~2 runs, was instant)
Wounded → fled: 35% per clean run (avg ~3 runs, was instant)
Combined expected clean runs before auto-resolve: ~5, giving the user
a realistic window to type /buddymon catch between tool calls.
catch_pending: set immediately when /buddymon catch is invoked, suppresses
auto-resolve while weakening Q&A is in progress. Cleared before catch roll
(success clears encounter, failure leaves it without the flag so auto-resolve
resumes naturally on the next clean Bash run).
wounded: first clean Bash run without catch_pending drops the encounter to 5%
strength and re-announces via UserPromptSubmit with a fleeing message. Second
clean run auto-resolves it (it fled). UserPromptSubmit now shows distinct
announcement text for wounded vs fresh encounters.
MemoryLeech now catches: malloc failures, std::bad_alloc, Java OOM,
GC overhead limit, JavaScript heap OOM, OOMKilled, oom-killer,
macOS malloc region failures.
CudaCrash is a new uncommon bug_monster (strength 65, 130 XP) for
GPU/VRAM OOM: torch.cuda.OutOfMemoryError, CUDA error: out of memory,
cuDNN/CUBLAS allocation failures, device-side assert triggered.
Adds lib/statusline.sh — a fast bash+jq status bar widget showing
active buddy, level, session XP, and any active encounter in red.
install.sh now copies the script to ~/.claude/buddymon/statusline.sh
and wires it into settings.json automatically during install.
/buddymon statusline subcommand documented in SKILL.md for manual install.
Adds LANGUAGE_TIERS with 6 tiers: discovering → familiar → comfortable
→ proficient → expert → master (thresholds: 0/50/150/350/700/1200 XP).
add_language_affinity() writes to roster.json['language_affinities'],
accumulating across sessions. Returns (leveled_up, old_tier, new_tier)
so the Edit/Write branch can fire a level-up message immediately (Edit
PostToolUse additionalContext surfaces fine).
Session-level languages_seen remains for the one-time Explorer bonus.
Roster skill view updated to show language affinity section.
Stop hook clears active.challenge after reporting it.
Start hook assigns a random challenge from the buddy's pool if none is set.
Result: fresh challenge every session, no stale repeat.
- CC Bash tool_response uses stdout/stderr keys (not output/content/text)
- Encounter detection now works — confirmed TypeGreml match via stderr
- README: clarify Thrumble is Anthropic's widget, not driveable by plugins
CC sends Bash results as {stdout, stderr, interrupted, isImage, noOutputExpected}.
Previous code guessed output/content/text — all wrong, so encounter detection
never matched. Confirmed via active.json relay debug.
Bash PostToolUse additionalContext is silently dropped by CC — encounters
are written to state but never surfaced. Fix with a two-phase approach:
- PostToolUse (Bash): detects error, writes encounter with announced:false
- UserPromptSubmit: fires on next user message, checks for unannounced
encounter, surfaces it once, marks announced:true so dedup loop breaks
Removes debug scaffolding and the format_encounter_message call from the
Bash hook (announcement is now fully owned by user-prompt-submit.py).
- Fix session-stop.sh in 0.1.0 cache to use systemMessage instead of
hookSpecificOutput (Stop hook schema doesn't support hookSpecificOutput)
- Remove debug scaffolding from post-tool-use.py
- Installer: pre-create hook_debug.log so sandbox can write to it;
uninstall now removes marketplace plugin symlink
- README: clarify extension vs mod architecture, fix cache path in
install description
Stop hook was emitting hookSpecificOutput with hookEventName=Stop,
which is not a valid hookSpecificOutput type (only PreToolUse,
PostToolUse, UserPromptSubmit are). Changed to systemMessage.
SessionStart still uses additionalContext (confirmed working).
Stale /buddymon-fight and /buddymon-catch references in session-start.sh
updated to /buddymon fight and /buddymon catch.
install.sh now creates a full circuitforge marketplace with marketplace.json
so CC can validate the plugin name against the index before loading.
Removed invalid extraKnownMarketplaces local source (only github/git valid).
- plugin.json: flatten repository to string, remove extra fields that
failed CC schema validation (caused 'Unknown skill' on reload)
- hooks.json: remove escaped quotes from command paths (matched hookify
reference implementation)
- install.sh: register 'local' marketplace in known_marketplaces.json
so CC doesn't GC the cache symlink on /reload-plugins
- install.sh: symlink-based dev install, registers in installed_plugins.json
and settings.json, initializes ~/.claude/buddymon/ state files
- install.sh --uninstall to cleanly remove
- Fix stale /buddymon-start and /buddymon-assign references in session-start.sh
to use unified /buddymon start and /buddymon assign subcommands
When an active encounter exists and the next Bash tool call produces
output with no matching error patterns, the monster is automatically
defeated and XP is awarded — no manual /buddymon fight needed.
/buddymon fight is kept as a manual fallback for fixes that happen
outside Bash (config edits, etc.).
