Session ID: e934f734-75fa-4980-8fc6-3db7a8bcbe44 Focus: SessionStart Hook & MCP Error Investigation


2026-01-22T17:45:00Z - SessionStart Hook & MCP Server Error Investigation

Issue: SessionStart:startup hook errors and MCP server errors occurring at session start

Investigation Findings (4 Issues Identified):

FindingStatusRoot Cause
SessionStart hook not registered❌ BrokenMissing from settings.json
task-id-validator.py missing❌ MissingADR-074 specifies it, never created
codanna MCP server❌ Not installedBinary not present on machine
settings.json wrong path❌ BrokenReferences /Users/halcasteel/ instead of current user

Root Cause: The settings.json was copied from another machine (halcasteel's) without updating paths. This causes an error on every Bash command execution.

Files Investigated:

  • ~/.claude/settings.json - Contains wrong hardcoded path
  • ~/.coditect/hooks/session_start_governance.py - Exists but not registered
  • ~/.coditect/hooks/session-retrospective.py - Exists but wrong path in config
  • ~/.coditect/config/templates/mcp-codanna.json - Template exists, not deployed

Deliverable:

  • Error report created: /Users/matiasmeirelles/PROJECTS/ERROR-REPORT-SESSIONSTART-MCP.md

Recommended Fix:

python3 ~/.coditect/scripts/CODITECT-CORE-INITIAL-SETUP.py
