Doctor help was already on the local help path in current source, but the exact #702 dogfood surface lacked a focused guard and the JSON help envelope was still too prose-oriented for wrappers. Strengthen the JSON contract while preserving text help.\n\nConstraint: Preserve unrelated dirty rust/Cargo.lock from prior #701 work.\nRejected: Starting runtime/provider/session to inspect doctor semantics | help must be local and credential-free.\nConfidence: high\nScope-risk: narrow\nDirective: Keep doctor help routed through parse_local_help_action and print_help_topic; do not call run_doctor for --help.\nTested: cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p rusty-claude-cli --test output_format_contract doctor_help -- --nocapture; cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p rusty-claude-cli --test output_format_contract help -- --nocapture; cargo fmt --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml --all -- --check; cargo check --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p rusty-claude-cli; timeout 5s cargo run -q --bin claw -- --output-format json doctor --help; timeout 5s cargo run -q --bin claw -- doctor --help.\nNot-tested: full workspace test suite.
Keep malformed diff invocations with trailing JSON format flags on the parser error path and lock the contract with focused output-format regressions.
Constraint: Do not touch tracked .omx state files.
Rejected: Repeating direct binary smoke loops | local auth/provider configuration intercepts those invocations and obscures parser behavior.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Tested: git diff --check; cargo fmt --check; cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli diff_extra_args_have_typed_error_kind_and_hint_766 --test output_format_contract; cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli diff_trailing_json_after_malformed_args_is_bounded_json_3129 --test output_format_contract; cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli diff_non_git_dir_has_error_kind_and_hint_801 --test output_format_contract
Two classifier arms had no corresponding assert_eq! in
test_classify_error_kind_returns_correct_discriminants: invalid_history_count
(both prefix and contains paths) and unknown_option (#790). Now 49/39 = full
coverage of all classify_error_kind return values.
claw '' and claw ' ' returned empty_prompt + hint:null because the
error message had no newline delimiter. Added usage hint. 61 CLI
contract tests pass.
Parity with #791 (config extra-arg fix). The plugins arg parser emitted
'unexpected extra arguments after claw plugins show ...' with no newline
delimiter, so split_error_hint returned None. Added usage hint after newline.
60 CLI contract tests pass.
Guard the local/no-credential JSON command sweep so future additions fail fast when action is absent or empty.
Constraint: ROADMAP #710-#713 fixed most JSON surfaces; #714 dogfood sweep found remaining help and sandbox gaps.
Rejected: Schema redesign for help output | outside the action-field contract scope.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep --output-format json envelopes carrying a stable non-empty action on every local CLI surface.

Preserve session-list consumers from depending on encoded session IDs by carrying persisted creation timestamps through managed summaries and JSON detail output, with an ID timestamp fallback only for legacy metadata that lacks created_at_ms.\n\nConstraint: ROADMAP #335 requires created_at_ms in session_details with the same millisecond unit as updated_at_ms.\nRejected: Making callers parse session IDs | undocumented ID structure is brittle and was the issue being fixed.\nRejected: Session storage redesign | scope is limited to detail metadata propagation and legacy compatibility.\nConfidence: high\nScope-risk: narrow\nDirective: Keep ID timestamp parsing fallback-only; persisted session_meta.created_at_ms remains the source of truth when present.\nTested: cargo fmt --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml --all -- --check; cargo check --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml --workspace; cargo build --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml --workspace; cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml --workspace; cargo clippy --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p runtime -p rusty-claude-cli --all-targets\nNot-tested: live interactive /session list against a real provider-backed REPL
Add a CLI contract proving plugins list and mcp list emit a deprecated enabledPlugins warning only once per process after config warning dedup landed. Covers ROADMAP #698.
Serialize the allowedTools rejection tests with the existing environment/current-directory test guards so full parallel cargo test runs cannot observe a transient project config or cwd from another test while building the tool registry.\n\nConstraint: Post-merge Rust build workflow run 26399647443 failed only in the full cargo test job while the focused test passed locally.\nRejected: Changing allowedTools parser output | the product contract remains correct and focused reproduction preserves the expected unsupported-tool error.\nConfidence: high\nScope-risk: narrow\nDirective: Keep this as test isolation only; do not bundle inventory provenance or ROADMAP work into this follow-up.\nTested: cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p rusty-claude-cli tests::rejects_unknown_allowed_tools -- --exact --nocapture; cargo test --verbose -p rusty-claude-cli --bin claw; cargo test --verbose; cargo fmt --check; cargo check --workspace --locked; cargo build --workspace --locked\nNot-tested: GitHub Actions rerun before opening PR
