 - **Persistent index**: a lightweight SQLite index or binary cache per session file to avoid re-parsing on every `Search` or `ListSessions` call.
 - **Additional tool types**: the parser's `extractToolInput` fallback handles any unknown tool by listing its JSON keys. Dedicated handling could be added for `WebFetch`, `WebSearch`, `NotebookEdit`, and other tools that appear in Claude Code sessions.
