//! Claude Code integration: the SessionStart hook + the session-start self-heal it drives, plus

//!
//! `install-hook` writes a `confer session-heal` SessionStart entry into Claude Code's settings.json;
//! on each session start that runs `cmd_session_heal`, which re-arms a dropped watch and re-syncs

//! `autoheal`/`watch`/`config` modules — this is the command + settings.json plumbing around them.
