* fix(observe): add 5-layer automated session guard to prevent self-loop observations
observe.sh currently fires for ALL hook events including automated/programmatic
sessions: the ECC observer's own Haiku analysis runs, claude-mem observer
sessions, CI pipelines, and any other tool that spawns `claude --print`.
This causes an infinite feedback loop where automated sessions generate
observations that trigger more automated analysis, burning Haiku tokens with
no human activity.
Add a 5-layer guard block after the `disabled` check:
Layer 1: agent_id payload field — only present in subagent hooks; skip any
subagent-scoped session (always automated by definition).
Layer 2: CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT env var — Claude Code sets this to sdk-ts,
sdk-py, sdk-cli, mcp, or remote for programmatic/SDK invocations.
Skip if any non-cli entrypoint is detected. This is universal: catches
any tool using the Anthropic SDK without requiring tool cooperation.
Layer 3: ECC_HOOK_PROFILE=minimal — existing ECC mechanism; respect it here
to suppress non-essential hooks in observer contexts.
Layer 4: ECC_SKIP_OBSERVE=1 — cooperative env var any external tool can set
before spawning automated sessions (explicit opt-out contract).
Layer 5: CWD path exclusions — skip sessions whose working directory matches
known observer-session path patterns. Configurable via
ECC_OBSERVE_SKIP_PATHS (comma-separated substrings, default:
"observer-sessions,.claude-mem").
Also fix observer-loop.sh to set ECC_SKIP_OBSERVE=1 and ECC_HOOK_PROFILE=minimal
before spawning the Haiku analysis subprocess, making the observer loop
self-aware and closing the ECC→ECC self-observation loop without needing
external coordination.
Fixes: observe.sh fires unconditionally on automated sessions (#398)
* fix(observe): address review feedback — reorder guards cheapest-first, fix empty pattern bug
Two issues flagged by Copilot and CodeRabbit in PR #399:
1. Layer ordering: the agent_id check spawns a Python subprocess but ran
before the cheap env-var checks (CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT, ECC_HOOK_PROFILE,
ECC_SKIP_OBSERVE). Reorder to put all env-var checks first (Layers 1-3),
then the subprocess-requiring agent_id check (Layer 4). Automated sessions
that set env vars — the common case — now exit without spawning Python.
2. Empty pattern bug in Layer 5: if ECC_OBSERVE_SKIP_PATHS contains a trailing
comma or spaces after commas (e.g. "path1, path2" or "path1,"), _pattern
becomes empty or whitespace-only, and the glob *""* matches every CWD,
silently disabling all observations. Fix: trim leading/trailing whitespace
from each pattern and skip empty patterns with `continue`.
* fix: fail closed for non-cli entrypoints
