## 🔍 Memory Collection Insights

### Module Path Resolution Patterns
- **Pattern**: NPM global installs require special framework path detection
- **Insight**: Script version upgrades must align with framework version progression
- **Learning**: Agent hierarchy paths need consistent directory naming conventions
- **Best Practice**: Always validate module imports after path resolution changes

### NPM Global Install Reliability
- **Pattern**: Global installations have different path resolution requirements than local installs
- **Insight**: Version detection systems must be robust across all deployment contexts
- **Learning**: Framework configuration cleanup improves overall system performance
- **Best Practice**: QA validation should cover all deployment scenarios before release

### Framework Configuration Management
- **Pattern**: Agent hierarchy updates require synchronized configuration changes
- **Insight**: Directory path corrections have cascading effects on framework operation
- **Learning**: Registry cleanup can significantly improve performance metrics
- **Best Practice**: Version tracking should be consistent across all framework components
