- **fixed** — Rebuild plugin bundles to match manifest version 13.24.0, resolving unbounded worker kill/respawn loop caused by version mismatch between plugin cache directory and baked-in package version
- **fixed** — Regenerate plugin/scripts/worker-service.cjs, mcp-server.cjs, server-service.cjs, transcript-watcher.cjs and plugin/sqlite/SessionStore.js from source to ensure shipped artifacts match the manifest version

##### Patch release — ship the rebuilt plugin bundles

`v13.24.0` bumped every manifest to 13.24.0 but never re-ran the build, so the committed
`plugin/scripts/*.cjs` artifacts still carried the 13.23.1 bytes. Because the Claude Code
marketplace installs straight from this repo (`.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` →
`"source": "./plugin"`), marketplace users on 13.24.0 were executing 13.23.1 code.

That mismatch put the worker in an unbounded kill/respawn loop: `ensureWorkerRunning()`
compares the resolved plugin version (13.24.0, from the plugin cache directory name)
against the worker's baked-in `__DEFAULT_PACKAGE_VERSION__` (13.23.1, reported by
`/api/health`), SIGKILLs on mismatch, and respawns the same stale file on the next hook
event — taking the in-flight observer down with it every time.

###### What's in this release

- **Rebuilt plugin bundles** (#3857, merged as #3878) — `plugin/scripts/worker-service.cjs`,
  `mcp-server.cjs`, `server-service.cjs`, `transcript-watcher.cjs` and `plugin/sqlite/SessionStore.js`
  are regenerated from source, so the shipped artifacts match the manifest version.
- **Clean patch version** — 13.24.1 so existing 13.24.0 installs actually pull the corrected
  artifacts on upgrade rather than sitting on a cached, byte-identical 13.24.0.

###### Upgrading

Marketplace users: update the plugin. npm users: `npx claude-mem@13.24.1`.

Ships the fix for #3857 (PR #3878).
