praise: Much better than the startsWith("mcp__") heuristic. A maintained Set of actually-registered tool names is the correct approach — no naming convention assumptions.

praise: Replacing the new Promise(async ...) anti-pattern with a clean .then() chain is the right fix. The explicit error on undefined template prevents silent blank prompts.

thought:beforeExit fires when the event loop drains but NOT on SIGINT/SIGTERM/process.exit(). If the main concern is Ctrl+C, you may also need a SIGINT handler. However, if the normal session flow already emits session_end in the finally block, this beforeExit handler mainly covers edge cases where the process exits without going through the session loop — which is reasonable.

Good observation. The session loop registers an AbortController on SIGINT, so Ctrl+C triggers abort.aborted → loop breaks → finally block runs → session_end. The beforeExit handler specifically covers the edge case where the process drains its event loop without entering the session loop (e.g. early initialization failure). process.exit() is a gap but we'd need process.on('exit', ...) with a sync flush for that — not worth the complexity right now.

Stop 1: MCP Tool Detection — isMcpTool() (mcp/index.ts) — CRITICAL FIX
The old startsWith("mcp__") heuristic was broken because MCP tool names are prefixed with the sanitized client name, not "mcp__". A maintained Set<string> of registered tool names is the correct approach. The set is cleared and rebuilt on each tools() call.
Review: ✅ Correct fix. No naming convention assumptions.
Stop 2: MCP Timeout on listPrompts/listResources (mcp/index.ts) — CRITICAL FIX
Wrapped client.listPrompts() and client.listResources() in withTimeout(_, 30s). Without this, a stalled MCP server would hang the CLI indefinitely during command loading.
Review: ✅ Correct. 30s default is reasonable.
Stop 3: Promise Anti-Pattern Fix (command/index.ts)
Replaced new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => { ... }) with clean .then() chain. Now throws on undefined template instead of resolving with empty string.
Review: ✅ Textbook fix. The old pattern could swallow errors.
Stop 4: Error Truncation Standardization (processor.ts)
Changed (value.error as any).toString() to value.error instanceof Error ? value.error.message : String(value.error). .toString() on Error includes the stack trace; .message does not.
Review: ✅ Important for privacy — stack traces can contain file paths.
Stop 5: Context Utilization Fix (processor.ts)
Removed cache_write from total token count. Cache writes are an API billing concept, not context window consumption.
Review: ✅ Correct — context utilization should reflect actual window usage.
Stop 6: session_end on beforeExit (prompt.ts)
Added process.once("beforeExit", handler) with cleanup in finally. See inline comment about SIGINT coverage.
Review: ✅ Reasonable for edge cases. Main path already covered by finally block.
Stop 7: Telemetry Improvements (telemetry/index.ts)
"startup"fallback for empty session_id"altimate"cloud role (was"altimate-code")- Dropped events counter + overflow error event on flush
Review: ✅ All good improvements. Dropped events tracking is nice for observability.
Stop 8: Defensive Cleanup (compaction.ts, truncation.ts, project-scan.ts)
compactionAttempts.delete()prevents memory leak on long-running sessions- try/catch in
Truncate.cleanup()prevents one bad filename from aborting cleanup skill_countpopulated fromSkill.all()
Review: ✅ All defensive improvements, no functional risk.
Summary Checklist
| Area | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MCP tool detection | ✅ Fixed | Set-based lookup replaces broken prefix check |
| MCP timeout | ✅ Fixed | 30s timeout prevents CLI hang |
| Promise anti-pattern | ✅ Fixed | Clean .then() chain, explicit error |
| Error privacy | ✅ Fixed | .message instead of .toString() |
| Token counting | ✅ Fixed | cache_write excluded |
| Memory cleanup | ✅ Fixed | compactionAttempts map cleaned up |
| Docs | ✅ Fixed | Config path corrected |
Thorough follow-up addressing all remaining review items. LGTM, ship it! 🚢
Address review comment about beforeExit limitations:
- Add process.once("exit") handler to cover process.exit() calls
- Add dedup flag to prevent double-firing when finally block also runs
- Document why SIGINT/SIGTERM are NOT handled (abort controller already
triggers loop exit → finally block → normal session_end)
