Problem

COMPRESSION_SYSTEM_PROMPT in packages/worker/src/handlers/prompts.ts only lists 6 observation types, but ObservationType in packages/types/src/database.ts defines 21 types.

Current State (Line 265-266)

<type>one of: bugfix, feature, refactor, change, discovery, decision</type>

Missing Types

The following types from ObservationType are not documented in the prompt:

Documentation & Config:

docs - Documentation changes (README, comments, guides)
config - Configuration/environment changes

Quality & Testing:

test - Test implementation, coverage improvements
security - Security fixes, vulnerability patches
performance - Optimization, profiling, speed improvements

Infrastructure:

deploy - CI/CD, release, deployment changes
infra - Infrastructure, DevOps, cloud resources
migration - Database migrations, data transforms

Knowledge Types:

research - Investigation, analysis, exploration

Integration:

api - API changes, endpoint modifications
integration - Third-party service integration
dependency - Package updates, dependency changes

Planning & Tasks:

task - Todo item, planned work
plan - Implementation plan, roadmap

Manual Memory:

note - Manual note or bookmark saved via MCP

Session:

session-request - User prompt/request tracking

Impact

Without these types in the prompt, the LLM will misclassify observations when compressing tool outputs, leading to incorrect categorization in the UI and search.

Solution

Sync COMPRESSION_SYSTEM_PROMPT with the full ObservationType definition, similar to the fix being applied to OBSERVATION_SYSTEM_PROMPT (Issue #291).
