The SessionStart push channel was single-tier: it curled /api/plugin/context
with a Bearer token and, on any failure (missing/unexported token, network
error, missing curl), injected nothing and exited 0 — silently. A known
upstream Claude Code gap (sensitive userConfig not reliably exported to hook
subprocesses) trips this routinely, so a fresh session gets no signal to reach
for Scribe and falls back to local file-memory (root cause of unlogged work on
remote/rc sessions).
Split into two tiers:
- Tier 1 (static, keyless, networkless, always fires): inject bundled
scribe_static_context.md — the load-bearing behavioral mandate. Cannot be
suppressed by the upstream key bug.
- Tier 2 (dynamic, best-effort, fails open): existing curl for live rules +
active-project context, appended below the static block. Lights up as
enrichment once the key reaches the hook.
Only jq is now required (JSON envelope); curl/token gate the dynamic tier only.
Bump plugin 0.1.5 -> 0.1.6 so clients pick up the change.
Refs milestone 55; task 809; decision note 810.
