| **Full-session upsert.** The transcript is stored using the session ID as the document key. If a session is retained multiple times (in chunked mode), the content is upserted rather than duplicated. No accumulation of near-identical entries. | ||
|
|
||
| **Zero dependencies.** The plugin is three Python stdlib scripts. No pip install, no virtualenv, no version conflicts. |
|
|
||
| **Recall adds latency.** Every prompt triggers a Hindsight query before Codex sees it. In practice this is 100–300ms with Hindsight Cloud on a fast connection. For interactive sessions it's imperceptible; for automated scripts it may matter. Use `"recallBudget": "low"` or `"autoRecall": false` if you need to skip it. | ||

| **Retention is asynchronous.** The `retain.py` hook fires asynchronously so it doesn't block your session from exiting. Facts extracted from a session won't appear in recall until the next session. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The fact may not appear until later, not necessarily the next session. It depends on how fast the async processing goes.

- Clarify "zero dependencies" — hook scripts are stdlib-only but local daemon mode requires uvx; Cloud mode has no local prerequisites - Fix retention timing — facts may appear sooner or later than the next session depending on async processing speed Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Documents the persistent log files added by the upcoming Codex integration PR: error.log for hook failures, debug.log when debug mode is enabled. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Add Cloud bullet to TL;DR - Note no daemon required when choosing Cloud during install - Rename "Connecting to Hindsight Cloud" -> "Hindsight Cloud (Recommended)" with clearer framing - Note per-project isolation works with Cloud - Move Cloud CTA to top of Next Steps Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The post doesn't exist in this branch so Docusaurus broken link check fails. Switching to absolute URL bypasses validation until both PRs are merged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
