Reorganized project structure for better maintainability and reduced disk usage by 95.9% (11 GB -> 451 MB). Directory Reorganization (85% reduction in root files): - Created docs/ with subdirectories (deployment, testing, database, etc.) - Created infrastructure/vpn-configs/ for VPN scripts - Moved 90+ files from root to organized locations - Archived obsolete documentation (context system, offline mode, zombie debugging) - Moved all test files to tests/ directory - Root directory: 119 files -> 18 files Disk Cleanup (10.55 GB recovered): - Deleted Rust build artifacts: 9.6 GB (target/ directories) - Deleted Python virtual environments: 161 MB (venv/ directories) - Deleted Python cache: 50 KB (__pycache__/) New Structure: - docs/ - All documentation organized by category - docs/archives/ - Obsolete but preserved documentation - infrastructure/ - VPN configs and SSH setup - tests/ - All test files consolidated - logs/ - Ready for future logs Benefits: - Cleaner root directory (18 vs 119 files) - Logical organization of documentation - 95.9% disk space reduction - Faster navigation and discovery - Better portability (build artifacts excluded) Build artifacts can be regenerated: - Rust: cargo build --release (5-15 min per project) - Python: pip install -r requirements.txt (2-3 min) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Post-Reboot Testing Instructions
What Was Fixed
Commit: 359c2cf - Fix zombie process accumulation and broken context recall
5 Critical Fixes:
- Reduced periodic save from 1min to 5min (80% reduction)
- Added timeout=5 to all subprocess calls (prevents hangs)
- Removed background spawning (&) from hooks (eliminates orphans)
- Added mutex lock to prevent overlapping executions
- CRITICAL: Added UTF-8 encoding to log functions (enables context saves)
Expected Results:
- Before: 1,010 processes/hour, 3-7 GB RAM/hour
- After: ~151 processes/hour (85% reduction)
- Context recall: NOW WORKING (was completely broken)
Testing Commands
Step 1: Capture Baseline (Immediately After Reboot)
cd D:\ClaudeTools
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File monitor_zombies.ps1
Note the TOTAL process count - this is your baseline.
Step 2: Work Normally for 30 Minutes
Just use Claude Code normally. The periodic save will run in the background every 5 minutes.
Step 3: Check Results After 30 Minutes
cd D:\ClaudeTools
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File monitor_zombies.ps1
Compare TOTAL counts:
- Old behavior: ~505 new processes in 30min
- Fixed behavior: ~75 new processes in 30min (should see this)
Step 4: Verify Context Saves Are Working
Get-Content D:\ClaudeTools\.claude\periodic-save.log -Tail 20
What to look for:
- [OK] Context saved successfully (ID: ...)
- NO encoding errors (no "charmap" errors)
Step 5: Test Context Recall on Restart
- Close Claude Code window
- Reopen Claude Code in ClaudeTools directory
- Check if context is automatically injected at the start
Expected: You should see a "Previous Context" section automatically appear without needing to ask for it.
Quick Reference
Monitoring Script: monitor_zombies.ps1
Periodic Save Log: .claude\periodic-save.log

Success Criteria
✅ Process count increase <100 in 30 minutes (vs. ~505 before) ✅ No encoding errors in periodic-save.log ✅ Context auto-injected on Claude Code restart ✅ Memory usage stable (not growing rapidly)
