Ignore claude-mem observer sessions - #6

Conversation
The claude-mem plugin compresses conversations into its memory store by running headless observer Claude sessions in the background. They write real transcripts and fire real hooks, so every feed surfaced them as phantom agents that woke whenever a real session did. All observers run from ~/.claude-mem/observer-sessions, which stamps both the hook event's cwd and the transcript's munged project directory. A shared predicate now drops them at every entry point: the hook exits before contacting the app, the transcript scan skips their project directory entirely, event ingestion guards against anything that slips past, and persisted observer sessions are discarded on snapshot load.

Approved for integration via #7, which preserves this contribution and includes the review hardening: exact home-bound observer path matching, exact transcript project-directory matching, Claude-only gating, and regression coverage for lookalike paths/projects and non-Claude agents. The corrected integration head passed SwiftLint, build, and the full test suite on macOS/Xcode 16.4.

Preserve PR #6 and tighten observer matching to the exact per-user claude-mem observer paths, with regression coverage for lookalikes and non-Claude agents.

Summary
The claude-mem plugin compresses conversations into its memory store by running headless "observer" Claude sessions in the background. They write real transcripts under
~/.claude/projectsand fire real hooks, so every NotchFlow feed surfaced them as phantom agents — one lighting up the notch every time a real session did any work.All observers run from
~/.claude-mem/observer-sessions, which stamps both the hook event'scwdand the munged project directory the transcript lands in. Those two signals become a shared predicate (MemoryObserverSessionsin NotchFlowCore), applied at every entry point:notchflow-hook): exits before contacting the app, so Claude Code proceeds as if no hook were installed.ClaudeTranscriptMonitor): skips the observer project directory entirely — no parse cost for the memory system's chatter.AppModel.applyOne): last-line guard for anything that slips past (e.g. an older hook binary still installed).A checkout of the plugin itself (a project directory literally named
claude-mem) is not filtered — only the hidden.claude-memdata directory matches, and there's a test pinning that.Testing
MemoryObserverSessionsTests(cwd match, transcript match, project-directory match, and the negative cases).…/projects/-Users-…--claude-mem-observer-sessions/withcwd~/.claude-mem/observer-sessions, and no longer appear in the notch.
