Create a summary thread via nmem t create:
Important: Write the summary yourself from the current conversation context. Do NOT try to invoke the stop hook script directly — it requires hook payload from Copilot CLI internals.

Troubleshooting
If nmem is not in PATH: pip install nmem-cli, or on Arch Linux yay -S nmem-cli / paru -S nmem-cli
Run nmem status to check server connection.
