Mgeeeek 8b36f7c50e fix(plugin): expire stale state captures + document plugin-update restart
Memory expiration + recency
  Hook-side captures (session_state in on_pre_compact.py and
  compact_summary in capture_compact_summary.py) now set
  expiration_date = today + 90 days. These types describe a single
  moment of project state and become stale clutter after a quarter.
  Durable types written by the agent (decision, anti_pattern,
  convention, user_preference, task_learning, environmental) stay
  unexpired by design -- a decision from a year ago is still a
  decision.

  Skill updated with two new sections:
    - "Expiration: high-churn vs durable" -- table mapping each
      metadata.type to whether it should carry an expiration_date.
    - "Recency filter on recall" -- agent should layer a
      created_at >= <90 days ago> filter on recall when the user
      asks about *current* state, and skip it when looking for
      durable facts.

Plugin-update / MCP reconnect
  When the plugin updates, the MCP server connection in the running
  client goes stale -- there's no in-process reconnection path from
  inside the plugin. Documenting the workaround is the realistic
  fix: README now has an "Updating the plugin" section explaining
  /restart (Claude Code), quit-and-relaunch (Cursor), restart
  (Codex). The auth header re-reads MEM0_API_KEY from the new
  shell, so users don't have to re-enter the key.

"""Capture the post-compaction summary into mem0.
PreCompact hooks fire BEFORE the summary is generated, so they can't
store the actual compact-summary text. This script runs at
SessionStart with source=compact, reads the transcript, finds the
most recent entry flagged isCompactSummary=true, and stores it as a
memory tagged metadata.type=compact_summary.
Input: JSON on stdin with transcript_path, session_id, source
Output: stderr logs only (exit 0 always -- must not block)
Spawned in the background by on_session_start.sh; the user-facing
bootstrap text continues without waiting on the network.
