Wire the session_exit RPC to an actual caller

[tom-shields-stitch]

Fixes #100.

core/__init__.py's dispatcher has a session_exit handler that calls run_light_consolidation (an FSRS decay/reinforcement tick over records touched in the last hour) — but nothing in the package ever sent a session_exit request. It's the light, frequent counterpart to the nightly heavy pass, and per the Stop hook's own docstring ("Claude Code fires Stop after EVERY assistant response... this hook therefore does two cheap incremental things per response"), this is exactly the kind of per-response work that hook is already designed to carry — it just never got a third step added for this specific RPC.

Fix

• New cmd_session_exit in cli/_capture.py, following the same pattern as the existing cmd_session_start: sends the RPC with its own short timeouts (3s connect / 15s read) and fails safe on any error, matching the fail-safe contract of every other hook backend in this file.
• Registered as iai-mcp session-exit --session-id ....
• iai-mcp-session-capture.sh (the Stop hook, shared across Claude Code, Codex and Cursor) now calls it as a third step, after the existing capture-turn-deferred catch-up and live-file rotation.

Verification

Verified against a live daemon: before the fix, zero cls_consolidation_run events existed with mode: "light" from any real session. After wiring this in and calling the new CLI command directly, a genuine event appeared with the correct session_id and mode, confirming the full hook -> CLI -> RPC -> run_light_consolidation -> write_event path.

Test plan

• New test_cmd_session_exit_daemon_unreachable.py — covers the fail-safe contract (unreachable daemon -> rc == 0) and the argparse registration, mirroring the existing test_cmd_session_start_daemon_unreachable.py
• Manual round-trip against a live daemon: iai-mcp session-exit --session-id <test> produced a real cls_consolidation_run event with the correct session_id and mode: "light"
• ruff check --select F,E9 on changed files — no new issues

Thank you for tracing this all the way to the missing caller, and for verifying it against a live daemon rather than by reading. The wiring is clean and the fail-safe matches session_start.

One problem with the placement. The Stop hook fires after every assistant response, not at session end, so a 100-turn session means 100 light consolidations, each recomputing FSRS over the same last-hour records. Repeated reinforcement over the same rows moves the stability curves, so "harmless" doesn't hold at that rate.

Two ways out: call it where a session actually ends, or dedupe in time, once per N minutes per session. Either works for us, and rough cost numbers would help. Happy to merge once that's settled.

Good catch — you're right, and the fix was straightforward once you named the actual problem. Pushed a new commit:

Went with dedupe-in-time, not detecting a real session boundary — the RPC handler now tracks the last light-pass timestamp per session in a sidecar and skips (returning deduped: true + remaining cooldown) if it ran within the last 5 minutes for that session. Picked 5 minutes to match the wrapper's own idle threshold for the WAKE → DROWSY edge elsewhere in this project, so it's not an arbitrary number.

Cost numbers you asked for: confirmed against a live daemon that two immediate session_exit calls for the same session now produce exactly one cls_consolidation_run event instead of two, with the second call's response coming back as {"mode": "light", "deduped": true, "cooldown_remaining_sec": 266.3}. Two new tests cover the dedup itself and that it's per-session (a different session_id is never blocked by another session's recent pass).
