Three-layer fix for V8 heap exhaustion when parsing heavy session data:
1. Buffer-based readSessionLines (fs-utils.ts): Replace readline with raw
Buffer streaming using Buffer.indexOf(0x0a). Eliminates ConsString trees
that caused OOM when regex-flattening 100MB+ lines. Two-state machine
(ACCUMULATING/SCANNING) skips old lines at ~2KB cost instead of 200MB.
2. Large-line streaming parser (parser.ts): Hand-written JSON scanner for
lines >32KB extracts only cost/token/tool fields without JSON.parse,
avoiding full object graph allocation. Dual string/Buffer paths.
3. Dashboard memory management (dashboard.tsx): Disable auto-refresh for
heavy periods (30d/month/all), clear old dataset before reload via
nextTick to allow GC, prevent overlapping reloads with mutex, lazy
optimize scanning on keypress instead of useEffect.
Also fixes three race conditions in dashboard reload deduplication:
- Early return after nextTick bypassing finally block (permanent mutex lock)
- A->B->A period switching dropping final reload (stale pending)
- Stale pendingReloadRef not cleared when in-flight matches request
readViaStream (used for files ≥8 MB) reconstructs the full file as a
single string via chunks.join('\n'), giving the same peak allocation as
readFile. Callers then call content.split('\n'), creating a second copy.
With FILE_READ_CONCURRENCY=16 and files up to 128 MB this can exhaust
the V8 heap (~6 GB theoretical peak).
readSessionLines already exists as a proper async generator that yields
one line at a time. Switch both hot-path callers to iterate it directly
so the full file string is never held in memory.
Adds two tests: a spy test confirming readSessionLines is called (not
readSessionFile), and a 500-entry correctness test.
Fixes#131
Claude Code does not document or implement a .claudeignore feature.
The junk-reads detector's fix is now a CLAUDE.md instruction asking
Claude to avoid generated/dependency directories. The separate
detectMissingClaudeignore finding and its tests are removed; checking
for the presence of a non-existent file has no signal.
Closes#61.
