Alex Newman 7d3f1879eb fix(worker): single version oracle — never rank plugin cache dirs by mtime
The 2026-07-22 restart storm: claude-mem had four resolvers that ranked
plugin cache dirs by directory mtime (worker-utils
cacheWorkerScriptCandidates, the inline node L() and Codex Windows
resolvers in hook-shell-template, and the POSIX `ls -dt` hook resolver),
while the staleness detector compared the live worker against the
marketplace package.json. When Claude Code stamped the superseded
13.11.0 cache dir with .orphaned_at, its mtime became newest, so every
recycle respawned 13.11.0 while hooks running 13.12.0 kept demanding a
restart — 485 respawns in ~2 hours, each spawning SDK and Chroma
children, until the host exhausted its process table.

The fix is an invariant, not a mitigation: one deterministic version
oracle shared by detection and respawn.

- resolveWorkerScript() ranks candidates by version descending (numeric
  major.minor.patch, release ahead of prerelease at the same base,
  reverse-lexical tiebreak) and skips .orphaned_at-stamped dirs; stable
  sort keeps cache → marketplace → cwd precedence on ties.
- ensureWorkerRunning() resolves once and feeds the same result to both
  checkVersionMatch(port, expectedVersion) and the lazy-spawn script, so
  a mismatch can only ever resolve toward the version the respawn will
  actually produce — the loop is structurally impossible.
- checkVersionMatch now takes the caller's expected version;
  getInstalledPluginVersion (the second oracle) is deleted.
- All three generated bootstrap resolvers (mcp node launcher, Codex
  Windows launcher, POSIX hook prelude) embed the identical ordering;
  the POSIX variant uses a zero-padded sort key and balanced (pattern)
  case forms (unmatched parens are a parser error inside $(...)).
- scripts/build-hooks.js gains --write-shell-templates, the regeneration
  mode its hand-edit tripwire error message points at.
- Regression coverage: comparator/selection unit tests plus a functional
  shell-matrix test that rebuilds the exact storm layout (orphaned old
  dir with newest mtime) and asserts the new version wins.
