/**
* @fileoverview Respawn Controller for autonomous Claude Code session cycling
*
* The RespawnController manages automatic respawning of Claude Code sessions.
* When Claude finishes working (detected by completion message + output silence),
* it automatically cycles through update → clear → init steps to keep the session productive.
*
* ## State Machine
*
* ```
* WATCHING → CONFIRMING_IDLE → SENDING_UPDATE → WAITING_UPDATE → SENDING_CLEAR → WAITING_CLEAR
* ↑ │ │
* │ │ (new output) ▼
* │ └─────────────► SENDING_INIT → WAITING_INIT → MONITORING_INIT ────────┘
* │ │
* │ ▼ (if no work triggered)
* └──────────────────────── SENDING_KICKSTART → WAITING_KICKSTART ──┘
* ```
*
* ## Idle Detection (Updated for Claude Code 2024+)
*
* Primary detection: Completion message pattern "for Xm Xs" (e.g., "✻ Worked for 2m 46s")
* Confirmation: No new output for configurable duration (default 5s)
* Fallback: No output at all for extended period (default 30s)
*
* ## Configuration
*
* - `sendClear`: Whether to send /clear after update (default: true)
* - `sendInit`: Whether to send /init after clear (default: true)
* - `kickstartPrompt`: Optional prompt if /init doesn't trigger work
* - `completionConfirmMs`: Time to wait after completion message (default: 10000)
* - `noOutputTimeoutMs`: Fallback timeout with no output at all (default: 30000)
*
* @module respawn-controller

/**
* RespawnController - Automatic session cycling for continuous Claude work.
*
* Monitors a Claude Code session for idle state and automatically cycles
* through update → clear → init steps to keep the session productive.
*
* ## How It Works
*
* 1. **Idle Detection**: Watches for completion message ("for Xm Xs" pattern)
* 2. **Confirmation**: Waits for output silence (no new tokens for 5s)
* 3. **Update**: Sends configured prompt (e.g., "update all docs")
* 4. **Clear**: Sends `/clear` to reset context (optional)
* 5. **Init**: Sends `/init` to re-initialize with CLAUDE.md (optional)
* 6. **Kickstart**: If /init doesn't trigger work, sends fallback prompt (optional)
* 7. **Repeat**: Returns to watching state for next cycle
*
* ## Idle Detection (Updated for Claude Code 2024+)
*
* Primary: Completion message with time duration (e.g., "✻ Worked for 2m 46s")
* The pattern "for Xm Xs" indicates Claude finished work and reports duration.
*
* Confirmation: After seeing completion message, waits for output silence.
* If no new output for `completionConfirmMs` (default 10s), confirms idle.
*
* Fallback: If no output at all for `noOutputTimeoutMs` (default 30s), assumes idle.
*
* Working indicators: Thinking, Writing, spinner characters, etc. reset detection.
*
* ## Events
*
* - `stateChanged`: State machine transition
* - `respawnCycleStarted`: New cycle began
* - `respawnCycleCompleted`: Cycle finished
* - `stepSent`: Command sent to session
* - `stepCompleted`: Step finished
* - `log`: Debug messages
*
* @extends EventEmitter
* @example
* ```typescript
* const respawn = new RespawnController(session, {
* updatePrompt: 'continue working on the task',
* completionConfirmMs: 10000, // Wait 10s after completion message
* });
*
* respawn.on('respawnCycleCompleted', (cycle) => {
* console.log(`Completed cycle ${cycle}`);
* });
*
* respawn.start();
* ```
