Every stop hook fire spawned a new background `mempalace mine` via
subprocess.Popen with no dedup — 4 concurrent mines at ~770% CPU
observed in production. Add `_mine_already_running()` (reads
`hook_state/mine.pid`, uses `os.kill(pid, 0)` as an existence check)
and `_spawn_mine()` (writes the child PID to the lock file after
Popen returns). `_maybe_auto_ingest` bails early when the guard
reports True.
Tests: 4 new unit tests for `_mine_already_running` (no file, dead
PID, live PID using `os.getpid()`, corrupt file), 1 new test
covering the skip-when-running branch of `_maybe_auto_ingest`, and
existing spawn tests patched to redirect `_MINE_PID_FILE` into
tmp_path so they don't touch the real state dir.

* fix(hooks): stop precompact hook from blocking compaction
The precompact hook unconditionally returned {"decision": "block"},
which in Claude Code means "cancel compaction" with no retry mechanism.
This made /compact permanently broken for all plugin users.
Changed hook_precompact() to mine the transcript synchronously (so data
lands before compaction) and return {"decision": "allow"}. This matches
the standalone bash hook in hooks/ which already uses allow.
Also extracted _get_mine_dir() and _mine_sync() helpers so precompact
can mine from the transcript directory, not just MEMPAL_DIR.
Stop hook behavior is unchanged -- left for #673 which implements the
full silent save path.
Closes#856, closes#858.
* fix: use empty JSON instead of invalid \"allow\" decision value
Claude Code only recognizes \"block\" as a top-level decision value.
\"allow\" is a permissionDecision value for PreToolUse hooks, not a
valid top-level decision. The correct way to not block is to return
empty JSON. Caught by #872.
- _count_human_messages() now logs a WARNING via _log() when a
non-empty transcript_path is rejected by the validator, making
silent auto-save failures diagnosable via hook.log
- Add test for platform-native paths (backslashes on Windows) to
verify _validate_transcript_path works cross-platform
- Add test verifying the warning log is emitted on rejection
