Adds a brief [!IMPORTANT] callout at the top of the README pointing
users to the urgent announcement at #1388. Claude Code auto-deletes
local JSONL transcripts after 30 days; users without the auto-save
hooks wired are losing transcript data off the rolling window.
Ships 4 small standalone tools at tools/:
- backup_claude_jsonls.sh — rsync ~/.claude/projects/ to a safe folder
- render_jsonl.py — convert JSONL transcripts to readable text
- find_orphan_claude_jsonls.sh — scan backup locations for orphan
Claude Code transcripts (multi-line shape detection + topic preview)
- save.md — Claude Code slash command for manual /save into MemPalace
Tools verified by independent agent against v3.3.4 source.
Read-only on user data. POSIX bash + Python stdlib only.
