fix(memory): replace --resume with transcript-based background updater#151
Conversation
The background working memory updater has been broken for 17+ days because `claude --resume` loads the full conversation, causing the model to respond conversationally instead of calling Write. Replace with transcript reading + fresh `claude -p` invocation, and remove the redundant PROJECT-PATTERNS.md system (superseded by knowledge-persistence skill's decisions.md + pitfalls.md).
