Full Release Notes
## Observer errors now tell you what happened and what to do
When the memory observer stops working — most commonly a CMEM Pro allowance that's been used up — claude-mem now says so in plain words, once, with the one thing to do about it. No more silent `OpenRouter upstream error (status 502)` retry loops.
### Fixes
- **Worker carries the gateway's error envelope** (#3601): the OpenRouter classifier now understands the cmem.ai gateway's `{code, message, action, url, request_id}` errors and, for plain OpenRouter, keeps the upstream body (e.g. `Key limit exceeded … Manage it using <url>`) instead of discarding it. 402 and "key limit exceeded" bodies are classified as quota exhausted and are **not retried**.
- **One log line per failure**: `Observer failed {kind, code, requestId} <message — action url (req id)>` replaces the five-line fan-out.
- **Session-start warning says the right thing** (#3601, #3612): the observer-health warning now shows the message, a `What to do:` line, the link, and the request id — and no longer tells Pro users to edit `~/.claude-mem/settings.json`. It also appears for projects that have no memories yet (previously the welcome hint hid it).
- **Observer-health alerting** (#3538): claude-mem alerts you at session start when observations stop flowing.
### Pro trial
- **7-day Pro trial surfaced everywhere the viewer URL is shown** (#3613): session-start banner, per-message banner, first-session welcome hint, installer "Next Steps", viewer header, and cursor-hooks docs — one source of truth (`src/shared/pro-promo.ts`) with per-surface `?from=` attribution links to https://cmem.ai/pro.
Pairs with the cmem.ai gateway change (claude-mem-pro #106): honest status codes (402/401/429/503, never 502), a 6-code error taxonomy, and an `x-request-id` on every error.
