Why

A customer reported that proactive recall was silently broken, and then saw it removed in #355. Reactive recall can't surface a fix from a teammate when the user doesn't know a teammate already hit the problem. The old feature failed for three reasons:

  • it needed local embeddings, which are off by default, so it skipped every prompt;
  • it mostly surfaced the user's own sessions;
  • it only ever triggered on prompts.

What

Proactive recall is back for Claude Code. It runs entirely client-side: no backend change, no new table or index, and no embeddings.

Piece Behaviour
Sync worker (src/recall/sync.ts) Pulls teammates' summaries from the existing memory table into ~/.deeplake/recall-cache/<org>/<ws>/<table>/. Read-only and incremental (keyset on last_update_date, path), throttled to once per 15 min. Your own summaries are filtered out on the server. Only text columns are read, so rows without embeddings sync like any other. Runs at SessionStart, and again mid-session from the async capture hook once the cache is stale.
recall-on-failure (PostToolUseFailure, on by default) Distills the error (paths, ids and numbers stripped; ports and error codes kept as anchors), ranks the local BM25 index with a phrase rerank, and injects one attributed teammate pointer when the relevance gate passes. Skips noise (Edit mismatches, user rejections, interrupts). At most 5 injections per session, never the same summary twice.
recall-on-prompt (UserPromptSubmit, shadow by default) Same lookup with a stricter bar. Logs would-be hits to ~/.deeplake/recall-events.jsonl and injects nothing until enabled.
hivemind recall status | mode | sync | search | stats | clear Observability and control (docs/PROACTIVE_RECALL.md).
Capture and summaries A failed tool call's error text is now captured. The wiki prompt (all harnesses) gains an ## Errors & Fixes section with the verbatim error, cause and fix.

Compatibility guard

  • PostToolUseFailure exists from Claude Code 2.0.56.
  • In 2.0.55 and earlier, a hooks file that names an unknown event is rejected whole, which would drop every Hivemind hook. That event therefore lives in hooks/hooks-tool-failure.json, listed in plugin.json hooks. Old versions load that file separately and skip only it.
  • A test pins the main hooks.json to 2.0.55's event list, so this can't regress.

Codex, Cursor, Hermes, pi and OpenClaw bundles contain none of the new code. Their only change is the summary prompt text.

Backend impact

  • Reads: one read-only page query per session start, plus at most one every 15 min during long sessions; normally zero rows. A machine's first sync is a one-time paged read (activeloop org: 9.4 s, 4,700 summaries).
  • Writes: one extra sessions row per failed tool call, now captured like successful ones.

Testing

End-to-end flow, as users will run it. Plugin installed via a Claude Code marketplace (claude plugin install), two identities, writes only to the hivemind_e2e_test workspace:

  1. Teammate (recall-e2e-teammate) hits Error: ENOENT … fixtures/seed.sql and fixes it with ./scripts/gen-fixtures.sh. At session end, their summary is written automatically with ## Errors & Fixes containing the verbatim error, cause and fix.
  2. A second user, on a fresh install with no cache, gets the prompt "run the tests and make them pass" with no hint. The cache syncs at session start. On the first failing run, the hook injects the teammate's fix, and Claude reports: "A HIVEMIND RECALL note from recall-e2e-teammate (billing-api) arrived after the first test run… fixed by running ./scripts/gen-fixtures.sh… I checked the script myself before running it." (coverage 1.0, 4 shared phrases)

The first run of this flow exposed a gap, fixed in the second commit. The agent ran ./run-tests.sh 2>&1 | tail -80; the pipe exits 0, so no PostToolUseFailure fired. recall-on-failure now also runs on PostToolUse for Bash, and acts only when the output contains line-anchored error lines. Clean output exits in about 35 ms. (Note: the second commit's message also lists the port/error-code anchors and the mid-session refresh, but those landed in the first commit.)

Other checks:

  • Unit tests: 140+ new tests covering the tokenizer and normalizer, BM25, policy, keyset sync against a SQL-honoring fake, locks, the mid-session trigger, the hook runner, the hook entry points, the format, the capture error field, and wiring. Sabotage-checked: removing the author filter, the phrase gate, dedupe or paging each makes tests fail. Per-file coverage thresholds were added.
  • Live, activeloop org (read-only): first and incremental sync worked. The mid-session refresh pulled a teammate summary that had changed in the previous ~23 minutes.
  • Live, real plugin via --plugin-dir:
    • On 2.0.55, all other hooks work and the failure hook is skipped.
    • On 2.0.56, the failure hook fires.
    • On 2.1.318, Claude received the injected teammate fix and quoted it back.
  • Live, hivemind_e2e_test workspace: the failed call was captured with its error text, the capture hook triggered refreshes mid-session, and the session-end summary contained the new section.
  • Retrieval eval on real data:
    • The right summary ranked first for 41/56 errors replayed from teammates' summaries, and 33 of the 35 that pass the bar are correct.
    • 3/20 generic errors (e.g. not a git repository) would still inject a weak pointer. Thresholds are env-tunable.
  • tsc, jscpd (no new clones) and vitest all pass. The only failures are the 22 tests/shared/graph tests, which also fail on main on the dev box because its git doesn't support git init -b.

Not covered

  • Windows and macOS runs.
  • Claude Code versions between 2.0.56 and 2.1.318.
  • Accuracy on customer data, and on the prompt trigger.

Rollout

Release, then have the reporting customer update. They can optionally run hivemind recall mode on --prompt. After about a week, review hivemind recall stats and tune the thresholds before turning the prompt trigger on by default.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added proactive team recall for relevant prompts and command failures, using locally cached summaries to surface useful context.
    • Added off, shadow, and on modes, with failure recall enabled and prompt recall in shadow mode by default.
    • Added commands to check or change modes, sync and search the cache, view activity, and clear cached data.
    • Added automatic cache refresh and clearer error-and-fix summaries.
  • Documentation
    • Documented recall modes, defaults, configuration options, commands, and cache behavior.

…rk or embeddings

Proactive recall was removed in #355: it needed local embeddings (off by
default, so it silently skipped every prompt) and mostly surfaced the user's
own sessions. Reactive recall can't help with problems a user doesn't know a
teammate already solved.

This brings it back for Claude Code, entirely client-side:

- A detached worker syncs teammates' session summaries from the EXISTING
  memory table into ~/.deeplake/recall-cache/ (read-only, keyset-incremental,
  throttled to once per 15 min, own summaries filtered server-side, text
  columns only, so rows without embeddings work). Spawned at SessionStart and,
  for long sessions, from the async capture hook once the cache is stale.
- PostToolUseFailure hook (on by default): distills the error (paths, ids,
  numbers stripped; ports and error codes kept as anchors), ranks the local
  BM25 index with a phrase rerank, and injects one attributed teammate
  pointer when the relevance gate passes. Noise (Edit mismatches, user
  rejections, interrupts) is skipped; max 5 per session, deduped.
- UserPromptSubmit hook: same lookup with a stricter bar, shadow by default
  (logs would-be hits to ~/.deeplake/recall-events.jsonl, injects nothing).
- `hivemind recall status|mode|sync|search|stats|clear`.
- Capture now stores a failed call's `error` text, and the wiki summary
  prompt (all harnesses) gains an "Errors & Fixes" section with the verbatim
  error, cause, and fix.

Compatibility guard: PostToolUseFailure exists from Claude Code 2.0.56. Up to
2.0.55 a hooks file naming an unknown event is rejected whole, which would
drop every Hivemind hook, so that event lives in hooks/hooks-tool-failure.json
listed in plugin.json `hooks`; old versions skip just that file. Verified live
on 2.0.55, 2.0.56 and 2.1.318; a test pins hooks.json to 2.0.55's event list.
Codex, Cursor, Hermes, pi and OpenClaw bundles contain none of this code.

…mid-session

Found by an end-to-end run (marketplace install, a teammate session that
fixes an error, then a second user hitting it):

- Agents run `cmd 2>&1 | tail`, so a failed command exits 0 and arrives as
  PostToolUse, never PostToolUseFailure. recall-on-failure now also runs on
  PostToolUse for Bash and proceeds only when the output has real error lines
  (line-anchored: `Error:`, Traceback, `npm ERR!`, `fatal:`, tsc/gcc formats);
  clean output exits in ~35 ms before the index is loaded. PostToolUse exists
  in every Claude Code version, so this stays in the main hooks.json.
- Ports (127.0.0.1:5432 → port5432) and error codes (TS2345, 42P01) are kept
  as anchors: a hit must share one, so a Redis ECONNREFUSED no longer matches a
  Postgres fix. INDEX_VERSION bumped; sync rebuilds an outdated index locally.
- Paths are reduced to their basename before uuids/timestamps are stripped,
  so ids inside a path no longer leak directory names into the query.
- Long-running sessions: the async capture hook spawns the sync worker once
  the cache is older than the sync interval (stat-only check per event).

Bound recall stats memory: streaming alone still keeps every recent hit.

stats() reads all of recall-events.jsonl into one string and one array of lines. Nothing in the repository trims that file, so this cost grows with total history, not with --days. Streaming the file removes the full-file read. The hits array still stores every in-window injected and shadow event, and only the last ten are displayed. Keep only the last ten hits while streaming.

+import { createReadStream, existsSync } from "node:fs";
+import { createInterface } from "node:readline";
-function stats(args: string[]): void {

   const days = Number(flagValue(args, "--days") ?? 7);
   const since = Date.now() - (Number.isFinite(days) ? days : 7) * 86_400_000;
   const path = recallEventsPath();
   if (!existsSync(path)) { console.log(`no events yet (${path})`); return; }
   const counts = new Map<string, number>();

+    input: createReadStream(path, { encoding: "utf8" }),
+    crlfDelay: Infinity,
+  });
+  for await (const line of lines) {
     if (!line.trim()) continue;
     let e: Record<string, unknown>;
     try { e = JSON.parse(line); } catch { continue; }
     if (Date.parse(String(e.ts)) < since) continue;
     const k = `${e.trigger ?? "?"}:${e.event}`;
     counts.set(k, (counts.get(k) ?? 0) + 1);
-    if (e.event === "injected" || e.event === "shadow") hits.push(e);
+    if (e.event === "injected" || e.event === "shadow") {
+      recentHits.push(e);
+      if (recentHits.length > 10) recentHits.shift();
+    }
   }
   console.log(`recall events, last ${days} day(s):`);
   for (const [k, n] of [...counts].sort()) console.log(`  ${k.padEnd(24)} ${n}`);
-  if (hits.length) {
+  if (recentHits.length) {
     console.log(`\nmost recent hits (injected / shadow):`);
-    for (const e of hits.slice(-10)) {
+    for (const e of recentHits) {
       console.log(`  ${String(e.ts).slice(0, 16)} ${e.trigger} ${e.event} ${e.author} ${e.path} cov=${e.coverage}\n    query: ${e.query ?? ""}`);
     }
   }
 }

The dispatcher line case "stats": return stats(rest); can stay unchanged because it is already inside an async function.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @docs/PROACTIVE_RECALL.md:
- Around line 18-20: Update the session-start sync description in
PROACTIVE_RECALL so throttling is described per routed org, workspace, and table
cache, not per machine or individual query. State that successful automatic
syncs normally run once per 15 minutes per cache, forced syncs bypass the
interval, failed syncs do not start it, and one pull may issue several page
queries.

Review comments at @src/commands/recall.ts:
- Around line 103-108: Update the sync result handling in the recall command to
treat r.status === "locked" as a failed explicit sync: report that the refresh
did not run and exit with a nonzero status. Preserve the existing r.error
handling.

Review comments at @src/hooks/shared/recall-events.ts:
- Around line 49-52: Update recordRecallEvent to create the recall-events
directory with owner-only permissions and append to the event file with
owner-only permissions by setting the appropriate mode options on mkdirSync and
appendFileSync.

Review comments at @src/hooks/shared/recall-format.ts:
- Around line 150-154: Sanitize metadata values before adding them to the recall
block: update the author-derived value in formatRecallContext and sanitize
hit.project before assembling the metadata line, using the existing
sanitizeSnippet helper with the established 80-character limit. Preserve the
current-user label and relative-day behavior.

Review comments at @src/hooks/shared/recall-run.ts:
- Around line 78-84: In the hit branch, update `state.injected` and
`state.injections` only when `mode` is "on"; keep shadow event reporting and
logging unchanged. Ensure shadow hits neither consume the injection cap nor
exclude summaries from later on-mode triggers.
- Line 40: Update queryPreview in runRecall to redact the normalized query with
the existing redactSecrets utility before truncating it to 120 characters, so
the recall event log receives only the redacted preview.

Review comments at @src/recall/cache.ts:
- Around line 126-138: Update acquireSyncLock and its lock lifecycle so a
long-running sync refreshes its lock before it can be considered stale, and
verify the lock still belongs to the current process before saving or releasing
it. Preserve the existing exclusive lock creation behavior and prevent a worker
from removing or overwriting another process’s lock.
- Around line 96-100: Update the docs validation in loadStore to reject null
before accepting s.docs as an object. Preserve the existing version, userName,
and other validation checks.
- Around line 53-56: Validate config.tableName in lookupTeamRecall before
loading the recall index, and treat invalid names as a cache miss so distinct
table names cannot resolve to the same cache directory through safeSeg. Preserve
the existing index-loading behavior for valid table names; cacheDir alone should
not be relied on to distinguish them.
- Around line 115-117: Update the recall clear flow around clearCache to acquire
the sync lock before deleting cached data, keep the lock file in place during
deletion, and release the lock in a finally block. If a sync already holds the
lock, leave the cache unchanged and report that clearing must be retried after
the sync finishes.

Review comments at @src/recall/error-normalize.ts:
- Around line 29-30: Update INTERACTION_RE to remove the Bash timeout phrase
while preserving the other interaction patterns, so timeout errors with
error-like diagnostic text can proceed to lookup. Add a test verifying that a
Bash error containing the phrase and an error-like diagnostic returns worthy:
true.

Review comments at @src/recall/lexical-index.ts:
- Line 168: Adjust the rarity gate around the `common` check so matches in small
caches can pass instead of all being rejected when the corpus has fewer than 20
summaries; preserve the intended rarity filtering for larger corpora. Use an
appropriately scaled bound or an absolute document-frequency limit, and add a
test covering a small corpus.
- Around line 137-138: Update search() so anchors are collected from the full
term list before applying maxTerms, then retain any anchors omitted by the cap.
Keep the cap for non-anchor terms and ensure anchorMiss still checks every
anchor in the query.

Review comments at @src/recall/session-state.ts:
- Around line 46-55: Serialize the per-session load, check, and save sequence in
runRecall so overlapping failure hooks cannot both act on stale state or exceed
the five-injection cap. Use a per-session exclusive lock for the full sequence
and release it on every exit path; do not rely on atomic rename alone. Keep the
change scoped to failure-hook overlap.
- Around line 29-30: Scope failure deduplication in runRecall to the routed org
and workspace by comparing and recording a serialized tuple of the routed target
and input.dedupeKey. Keep the injection cap and injected list session-wide, and

- Around line 177-180: In syncRecallCache, write the rebuilt index with
saveIndex before persisting the updated store with saveStore, so a failed index
write leaves the cursor unchanged and allows the next sync to retry. Preserve
the existing index rebuild condition and store contents.
- Line 121: Update the opts.full store initialization and failure handling so a
failed full sync preserves the previously saved store and index instead of
replacing them with partial results. Ensure partial rows from the failed run are
not saved or used to rebuild the index, while successful full syncs continue to
replace the store as intended.

Document the sync throttle per cache and note multi-page pulls.

Lines 22-23 state a per-machine limit. The throttle applies per routed org, workspace, and table cache. Each cache is throttled separately. Successful automatic syncs normally run once per 15 minutes per cache. Forced syncs bypass that interval. A pull can issue several page queries, so a single query is not a limit.

📝 Suggested fix
-  The backend sees one read-only page query per session start, throttled to
-  once per 15 minutes per machine, which normally returns zero rows.

Exit with a nonzero status when the sync lock is held.

hivemind recall sync --full exits 0 when another sync holds the cache lock. syncRecallCache returns locked without setting error, so the requested full refresh is skipped and no retry runs. Treat locked as a failed explicit sync.

Suggested fix
   if (r.error) { console.error(`error: ${r.error}`); process.exit(1); }
+  if (r.status === "locked") { console.error("another sync holds the cache lock; the refresh did not run"); process.exit(1); }

Create the recall event file and directory with owner-only permissions.

recordRecallEvent creates ~/.deeplake and recall-events.jsonl without a mode option. Each event can store the first 120 characters of a prompt. Under a permissive umask, other local users can read that text. Pass mode: 0o700 to the directory creation and mode: 0o600 to the file append, as src/recall/cache.ts does for its cache files.

🔒 Suggested fix
   try {
     const path = recallEventsPath();
-    mkdirSync(dirname(path), { recursive: true });
-    appendFileSync(path, JSON.stringify({ ts: nowIso, ...ev }) + "\n");
+    mkdirSync(dirname(path), { recursive: true, mode: 0o700 });

Sanitize the metadata fields before they enter the recall block.

formatRecallContext sanitizes only the excerpt. The author and project values go into the unquoted metadata line unchanged. A project directory name or author name containing a newline starts a new line in the injected block. That line sits outside the quoted excerpt and under the header that says quoted text is untrusted. Apply the same sanitizer to these fields:

Suggested fix
-  const who = author === currentUser ? "you" : author;
+  const who = author === currentUser ? "you" : sanitizeSnippet(author, 80);
   const when = relativeDay(hit.lastUpdate, now);
-  const meta = [who, when, hit.project].filter(Boolean).join(" · ");
+  const meta = [who, when, sanitizeSnippet(hit.project, 80)].filter(Boolean).join(" · ");

Redact queryPreview before it reaches the recall event log.

runRecall writes the first 120 characters of the raw prompt to recall-events.jsonl without calling redactSecrets. Capture redacts the same prompt before storage, so a secret near the start of a prompt stays in plaintext in this local log.

Rarity gate rejects every match when the cache has fewer than 20 summaries.

With maxRarestDf at 0.05, rarestDf = df / N is at least 1/N. For N below 20, every match fails the common check, so default failure recall never injects from a small team's cache. Scale the rarity bound for small corpora, or use an absolute document-frequency limit. Add a small-corpus test.

Scope failure dedupe keys to the routed org and workspace.

runRecall loads session state by session_id only. Its dedupe check at line 47 compares the raw dedupeKey before the lookup runs. Routing is resolved from .hivemind on each invocation, and the file is read again each time. If that file changes, or the routed workspace changes, the same session can search a different index. A failure recorded against the earlier workspace then skips the lookup in the new one, so recall is missed.

Keep the injection cap and the injected list session-wide, as documented. Include the routed target only in the failure dedupe key. A string join with / or | can collide, so use a serialized tuple.

Suggested fix
-  if (input.dedupeKey && state.lookedUp.includes(input.dedupeKey)) { log("skip already-looked-up"); return null; }
+  const lookupKey = input.dedupeKey ? JSON.stringify([config.orgId, config.workspaceId, input.dedupeKey]) : undefined;

Lock the per-session state update in runRecall.

Concurrent PostToolUseFailure hooks for one session can load the same state before either saves it. Both can then inject the same summary, and the injection count can pass the five-injection cap. Serialize the load, check, and save sequence per session, for example with an O_EXCL lock file. An atomic rename alone does not prevent the lost update.

Scope of the race

Only failure-to-failure overlap is established. UserPromptSubmit is synchronous and runs before the turn's tool calls, so overlap with a failure hook was not shown.

Keep the previous cache when a full sync fails.

A failed --full pull replaces the local store with the rows fetched in that run, then rebuilds the index from them. Until the next successful sync, lookups see only the rows fetched before the error, or none. The cursor stays at the last saved row, so the next ordinary sync fetches the remaining rows.

Write the index before the store in syncRecallCache.

If saveIndex throws after saveStore succeeds, store.json keeps the advanced cursor. Later syncs fetch no rows, so the rebuild check skips the write. Lookups keep the stale index until a sync fetches or removes rows. Writing the index first leaves the cursor unchanged, so the next sync refetches and rebuilds.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Poor tradeoff

Stop path scrubbing at spaces so directory words do not reach the query.

PATH_RE cannot match a path that contains a space. For /home/alice/Secret Project/app/file.ts, the pattern matches /home/alice/Secret and /app/file.ts. The basename step keeps Secret from the first fragment, and Project is never matched. The normalized query becomes Secret Project file.ts, not file.ts. That query is passed to lookup and written to the local recall-events log as query. Spaced paths are a normal result of tools such as cat or ls, so this happens on the Bash failure path. Directory words then reach recall matching. Adding a regression test with a spaced directory name would expose it. A safe regex change needs care, because a space-tolerant pattern could also consume ordinary prose.

Assert the emitted additionalContext in the successful-Bash test.

The test PostToolUse (piped, exit 0): looks up error lines found in the output checks only hookSpecificOutput.hookEventName. The runRecall mock returns "CTX", so the test can check that exact value. A regression that emits a different non-empty string under PostToolUse would still pass.

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

errorTextFromOutput reads only object-shaped stdout and stderr. If a supported Bash PostToolUse response supplies its output as a string or in an output or content field, the hook discards its error text.

The newly registered successful-Bash hook silently skips recall for that failure.

This can occur when: Claude Code supplies one of those response representations for a piped Bash failure containing Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5432.

Keep stderr error lines within the six-line cap.

errorTextFromOutput joins stdout before stderr and keeps only the first six matching lines. When stdout has six or more error lines, a later stderr error line is dropped before classifyFailure builds the query. The lookup then uses only the stdout errors, which can miss the fix for the actual failure. Reserve part of the cap for stderr, or cap each stream separately.

Pin the Bash recall-on-failure command to its plugin-root path.

The new assertion at tests/shared/recall/wiring.test.ts:50 matches only the substring recall-on-failure.js. A command such as node "/nonexistent/recall-on-failure.js" passes this check. The test title says the hook runs on successful Bash calls, so the command should match the configured ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bundle/recall-on-failure.js exactly. The tests/** path instructions ask for specific values such as paths over generic substrings.

CodeQL js/file-system-race: the lock was checked with existsSync/statSync
and then removed by path, so two workers that both saw a stale lock could
delete each other's fresh lock and sync concurrently. Now the lock is
created exclusively first; a stale one is checked via fstat on an open fd,
moved aside with an atomic rename, and restored if the moved file turns out
to be a fresh lock that replaced it.

Add a deterministic test for the stale-lock restore path in evictStaleLock.

The existing test calls acquireSyncLock three times in sequence, so it never runs two recoverers together. The inode-mismatch branch that restores a fresh lock (src/recall/cache.ts, lines 157-160) has no test. A regression in that branch would not fail any test.

A new test file can interleave a fresh-lock replacement between the stale-inode check and the rename. The following sketch assumes cache.ts imports the fs functions from node:fs:

// tests/shared/recall/sync-lock-restore.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach, afterEach } from "vitest";
import { mkdtempSync, rmSync, readFileSync, writeFileSync, readdirSync } from "node:fs";
import { tmpdir } from "node:os";
import { join } from "node:path";
import { acquireSyncLock, cacheDir } from "../../../src/recall/cache.js";

const hook = vi.hoisted(() => ({
  beforeRename: undefined as undefined | ((from: string) => void),
}));

vi.mock("node:fs", async (importOriginal) => {
  const actual = await importOriginal<typeof import("node:fs")>();
  return {
    ...actual,
    renameSync: (from: string, to: string) => {
      const run = hook.beforeRename;
      hook.beforeRename = undefined; // one-shot
      run?.(from);
      return actual.renameSync(from, to);
    },
  };
});

const key = { orgId: "org1", workspaceId: "ws1", table: "memory" };
const T0 = Date.parse("2026-11-04T00:00:00Z");
let root = "";
beforeEach(() => { root = mkdtempSync(join(tmpdir(), "recall-lock-")); });
afterEach(() => { hook.beforeRename = undefined; rmSync(root, { recursive: true, force: true }); });

describe("acquireSyncLock stale-lock restore", () => {
  it("keeps a fresh lock that replaces the stale lock before the rename", () => {
    const dir = cacheDir(key, root);
    const lock = join(dir, "sync.lock");
    acquireSyncLock(dir, T0); // stale lock, mtime is the real current time

    hook.beforeRename = (from) => {
      if (from !== lock) return;
      // Fresh inode is allocated while the stale file still exists, then renamed over it.
      writeFileSync(`${lock}.next`, "fresh-worker");
      renameSync(`${lock}.next`, lock);
    };

    const later = Date.now() + 11 * 60_000;
    expect(acquireSyncLock(dir, later)).toBeNull();
    expect(readFileSync(lock, "utf8")).toBe("fresh-worker");
    expect(readdirSync(dir).filter((f) => f.includes(".stale."))).toEqual([]);
  });
});

Add renameSync to the node:fs import in the sketch. The test calls it directly. The mock hook is cleared before the call, so the call does not recurse.

Why this test is needed

A check-then-unlink implementation would pass the current sequential test. It would not pass this one, because it would remove the fresh lock. The test covers the rename and inode-check design that the PR relies on.

- Around line 133-134: Update createLock so a failure while writing the PID or
closing the file descriptor removes the partially created sync.lock before the
failure is rethrown. Ensure cleanup does not mask the original error or leave
the descriptor open when possible.

Nitpick comments:
Review comments at @tests/shared/recall/sync.test.ts:
- Around line 199-206: Extend the stale-lock tests around acquireSyncLock to
deterministically exercise evictStaleLock when a fresh lock replaces the stale
inode immediately before its rename. Verify recovery returns null, preserves the
fresh lock, and leaves no stale artifact; use a controlled rename interleaving
rather than sequential lock acquisitions.

Remove the partial lock when createLock fails.

If writeFileSync or closeSync throws, createLock rethrows and leaves the empty sync.lock in place. Later syncs treat it as a live lock until its mtime is over 10 minutes old.
