Cherry-pick from Yeachan-Heo's #2945 with manual conflict resolution:
- classify_skills_slash_command now catches -h/--help anywhere in args
- Restored pending_thinking parameter in push_output_block test calls
Co-authored-by: Yeachan-Heo <bellman@ultraworkers.dev>

2. fix(compact): handle Thinking content blocks (#2985)
- Added ContentBlock::Thinking variant throughout compact summarizer
- Prevents panic when /compact encounters thinking blocks
3. fix(prompt): provider-aware model identity (#2822)
- New ModelFamilyIdentity enum (Claude vs Generic)
- Non-Anthropic models no longer say 'I am Claude'
- model_family_identity_for() detects provider and sets identity

Closes#2981, #2982, #2937, #2985, #2822, #2821
* fix(mcp): exit 1 when JSON envelope contains ok:false
mcp info, mcp describe, and mcp list-filter all return
{"action":"error","ok":false,...} but previously exited 0,
requiring automation callers to inspect the envelope field.
After this fix: print_mcp detects ok:false in the rendered JSON
value and calls process::exit(1) after printing, so the exit code
reflects the semantic error in the envelope.
Unaffected: mcp list, mcp show, mcp help all have no ok field and
continue to exit 0 (they are not error paths).
Closes ROADMAP #68 (partial — agents bogus/mcp show nonexistent
found:false remain exit:0 as they use different envelope shapes).
* feat(scripts): add dogfood-build.sh — build from checkout and verify provenance
Builds claw from the current HEAD, then checks that the binary's
git_sha matches git rev-parse --short HEAD. Exits non-zero if the
binary is stale or provenance is opaque (git_sha: null).
Usage:
CLAW=$(bash scripts/dogfood-build.sh) # fail-fast if stale
$CLAW version --output-format json # provenance confirmed
Addresses ROADMAP #69: dogfooders using a stale installed binary
cannot attribute behavior to specific commits. This script makes
dogfood round zero unambiguous.
Also documents the safe workaround for contributors who have a
stale system-installed binary.
claw permissions list / claw permissions allow <tool> / claw permissions deny <tool>
all fell through to the prompt/LLM path because parse_subcommand had no
arm for "permissions". The single-word bare form was already intercepted
by bare_slash_command_guidance, but any form with rest.len() > 1 bypassed
the single-word guard and landed in the _other => CliAction::Prompt branch.
Fix: add a "permissions" arm in parse_subcommand that returns a structured
guidance Err so all multi-word forms get the same exit:1 + JSON error as
the bare single-word form, without any LLM call or session creation.
Verified: all invocation forms (bare, list, read-only, workspace-write,
allow/deny <tool>) exit 1 with kind:unknown guidance JSON. Zero sessions.
claw plugin list / claw marketplace / claw marketplace list all fell
through to the prompt/LLM path because parse_subcommand only matched
"plugins" (the primary name) while the canonical spec aliases
"plugin" and "marketplace" were unhandled.
This manifested as auth errors and session creation on direct
invocation — dogfood confirmed Gaebal's binary created one session
via plugin prompt fallback.
Fix: extend the plugins arm in parse_subcommand to also match
"plugin" | "marketplace" so all three forms route to the same
CliAction::Plugins without network calls or session creation.
Verified: all six forms (bare + list subcommand for each name) return
kind:plugin JSON, exit 0, and create zero sessions.
Closes ROADMAP #55 partial (plugins/marketplace bypass complete).
* fix: support /plugins slash command in resume mode
Move SlashCommand::Plugins out of the 'unsupported resumed slash
command' catch-all and add a handler arm in run_resume_command that
calls handle_plugins_slash_command for list/help actions.
Mutation actions (install/uninstall/enable/disable) are rejected with
a clear error since there is no runtime to reload in resume mode.
Add /plugins coverage to resumed_inventory_commands test in
output_format_contract.rs: kind, action, reload_runtime, target.
Before: claw --resume session.jsonl /plugins --output-format json
-> {error: 'unsupported resumed slash command', type: 'error'}, exit 1
After: claw --resume session.jsonl /plugins --output-format json
-> {kind: 'plugin', action: 'list', ...}, exit 0
* style: cargo fmt line wrap in run_resume_command plugins handler
* fix: block /plugins update in resume mode, fix comment
Address REQUEST_CHANGES from OMX review:
1. Add 'update' to the blocked mutation actions in resume mode
(previously only install/uninstall/enable/disable were blocked)
2. Fix comment: 'Only list is supported' instead of 'Only list/help'
since /plugins help doesn't actually parse as a valid action
* style: cargo fmt after conflict resolution
`claw config model --output-format json` and all other section subcommands
(`env`, `hooks`, `plugins`) returned identical output with no section field
— the section arg was parsed but discarded (_section parameter).
Fix: render_config_json now:
- Passes section through to handler
- Looks up the section value via runtime_config.get(), converting the
internal JsonValue to serde_json::Value via render()+parse
- Emits `section` (string) and `section_value` (JSON value or null)
in the response envelope
- Returns ok:false + error for unsupported section tokens
Test: config_section_json_emits_section_and_value asserts:
- No section field when no section arg
- section + section_value fields present for all known sections
- ok:false + error for unknown section
Pinpoint: ROADMAP #126
`claw skills show <name>`, `claw skills info <name>`, and
`claw skills list <filter>` were all falling through to
SkillSlashDispatch::Invoke, which spawned a real model session,
consumed tokens, and created session files.
Root cause: classify_skills_slash_command had no guards for
these discovery prefixes; every non-reserved arg became Invoke.
Fix:
- Add "show", "info" as Local-only bare tokens
- Add starts_with guards for "show ", "info ", "list " args
- handle_skills_slash_command: filter skill list by name/substring
for show/info/list-filter paths (no model call, no session)
- handle_skills_slash_command_json: same structured filtering
Test: skills_show_and_list_filter_do_not_invoke_model asserts
classify_skills_slash_command returns Local for all discovery
patterns and still returns Invoke for bare skill names.
Pinpoint: ROADMAP #502
resumed_status_command_emits_structured_json_when_requested was reading
the real ~/.claw/settings.json, causing loaded_config_files to be 1
instead of the expected 0 on machines with user config present.
Root cause: unlike other tests (e.g. resumed_config_command_loads_settings_files),
this test did not pass an isolated CLAW_CONFIG_HOME env var to run_claw,
so claw fell back to the real HOME and loaded the developer's settings file.
Fix: create a temp config-home dir and pass it as CLAW_CONFIG_HOME via
run_claw_with_env. This gives the assertion a clean 0-file baseline.
Unblocks PRs #2973, #2988, #2990 which all failed this same test on main.
Ref: ROADMAP #65
Resumed /agents --output-format json was returning a human-readable
text render wrapped in a JSON envelope field instead of the actual
structured agent list. The run_resume_command handler was calling
handle_agents_slash_command (text) for the json field instead of
handle_agents_slash_command_json.
Fix: use handle_agents_slash_command_json for the json outcome field,
matching the pattern already used by /skills and /plugins.
Test: extended resumed_inventory_commands_emit_structured_json_when_requested
to cover /agents, asserting kind=="agents", action=="list",
agents is an array, and count is a number (not a text render).
`claw version --output-format json` was missing build_date and
executable_path, making it impossible to identify which binary is
running or correlate it with a specific build/commit.
Fix: version_json_value() now includes:
- build_date: compile-time BUILD_DATE env (already in text output)
- executable_path: std::env::current_exe() at runtime
Test: version_emits_json_when_requested extended to assert both fields
are strings in the JSON envelope.
Pinpoint: ROADMAP #507
Add four assertions to inventory_commands_emit_structured_json_when_requested:
- kind == "plugin"
- action == "list"
- reload_runtime is boolean
- target is null when no plugin is targeted
Closes the only major --output-format json surface with zero contract
coverage. All other surfaces (agents, mcp, skills, status, sandbox,
doctor, help, version, acp, bootstrap-plan, system-prompt, init, diff,
config) already had test assertions.
Keep claw --help's resume-safe slash command summary aligned with the interactive command list by filtering STUB_COMMANDS and adding regression coverage.
Operator status previously treated any tmux pane in a workspace as equivalent to active work. The new classifier uses tmux pane command/path metadata as a soft signal, treats plain shells as idle, and adds dirty-worktree abandoned markers to status and session-list output for clawhip consumers.

Worker boot could previously stall on an interactive MCP/tool permission prompt while readiness and startup-timeout surfaces only had generic idle/no-evidence shapes. This adds a first-class blocked lifecycle state, structured event payload, startup evidence fields, and regression coverage so callers can report the exact server/tool gate instead of pane-scraping.
Constraint: ROADMAP #200 requires tool/server identity, prompt age, and session-only versus always-allow capability in status/evidence surfaces

Rejected: Leave allow-scope as pane text only | clawhip still could not classify the blocker without scraping

The pull brought the branch current with origin/main while replaying local follow-up work. Conflict resolution kept the roadmap/progress additions and integrated the runtime event/trust changes with upstream's newer surfaces.
The trust allowlist now treats worktree_pattern as an additional required predicate, including the missing-worktree case, so auto-trust cannot fall back to cwd-only matching when a worktree constraint was declared. The runtime formatting cleanup keeps clippy/fmt green after the merge.
Constraint: Local branch was 109 commits behind origin/main with dirty tracked follow-up work.
Rejected: Drop the autostash after conflict resolution | keeping it preserves a reversible safety backup for unrelated recovery.

## Problem
#77 Phase 1 added machine-readable error `kind` discriminants to JSON error
payloads. Text-mode (stderr) errors still emit prose-only output with no
structured classification.
Observability tools (log aggregators, CI error parsers) parsing stderr can't
distinguish error classes without regex-scraping the prose.
## Fix
Added `[error-kind: <class>]` prefix line to all text-mode error output.
The prefix appears before the error prose, making it immediately parseable by
line-based log tools without any substring matching.
**Examples:**
## Impact
- Stderr observers (log aggregators, CI systems) can now parse error class
from the first line without regex or substring scraping
- Same classifier function used for JSON (#77 P1) and text modes
- Text-mode output remains human-readable (error prose unchanged)
- Prefix format follows syslog/structured-logging conventions
## Tests
All 179 rusty-claude-cli tests pass. Verified on 3 different error classes.
Closes ROADMAP #156.
## Problem
All JSON error payloads had the same three-field envelope:
```json
{"type": "error", "error": "<prose with hint baked in>"}
```
Five distinct error classes were indistinguishable at the schema level:
- missing_credentials (no API key)
- missing_worker_state (no state file)
- session_not_found / session_load_failed
- cli_parse (unrecognized args)
- invalid_model_syntax
Downstream claws had to regex-scrape the prose to route failures.
## Fix
1. **Added `classify_error_kind()`** — prefix/keyword classifier that returns a
snake_case discriminant token for 12 known error classes:
`missing_credentials`, `missing_manifests`, `missing_worker_state`,
`session_not_found`, `session_load_failed`, `no_managed_sessions`,
`cli_parse`, `invalid_model_syntax`, `unsupported_command`,
`unsupported_resumed_command`, `confirmation_required`, `api_http_error`,
plus `unknown` fallback.
2. **Added `split_error_hint()`** — splits multi-line error messages into
(short_reason, optional_hint) so the runbook prose stops being stuffed
into the `error` field.
3. **Extended JSON envelope** at 4 emit sites:
- Main error sink (line ~213)
- Session load failure in resume_session
- Stub command (unsupported_command)
- Unknown resumed command (unsupported_resumed_command)
## New JSON shape
```json
{
"type": "error",
"error": "short reason (first line)",
"kind": "missing_credentials",
"hint": "Hint: export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY..."
}
```
`kind` is always present. `hint` is null when no runbook follows.
`error` now carries only the short reason, not the full multi-line prose.
## Tests
Added 2 new regression tests:
- `classify_error_kind_returns_correct_discriminants` — all 9 known classes + fallback
- `split_error_hint_separates_reason_from_runbook` — with and without hints
All 179 rusty-claude-cli tests pass. Full workspace green.
Closes ROADMAP #77 Phase 1.
## Problem
Two session error messages advertised `.claw/sessions/` as the managed-session
location, but the actual on-disk layout is `.claw/sessions/<workspace_fingerprint>/`
where the fingerprint is a 16-char FNV-1a hash of the CWD path.
Users see error messages like:
```
no managed sessions found in .claw/sessions/
```
But the real directory is:
```
.claw/sessions/8497f4bcf995fc19/
```
The error copy was a direct lie — it made workspace-fingerprint partitioning
invisible and left users confused about whether sessions were lost or just in
a different partition.
## Fix
Updated two error formatters to accept the resolved `sessions_root` path
and extract the actual workspace-fingerprint directory:
1. **format_missing_session_reference**: now shows the actual fingerprint dir
and explains that it's a workspace-specific partition
2. **format_no_managed_sessions**: now shows the actual fingerprint dir and
includes a note that sessions from other CWDs are intentionally invisible
Updated all three call sites to pass `&self.sessions_root` to the formatters.
## Examples
**Before:**
```
no managed sessions found in .claw/sessions/
```
**After:**
```
no managed sessions found in .claw/sessions/8497f4bcf995fc19/
Start `claw` to create a session, then rerun with `--resume latest`.
Note: claw partitions sessions per workspace fingerprint; sessions from other CWDs are invisible.
```
```
session not found: nonexistent-id
Hint: managed sessions live in .claw/sessions/8497f4bcf995fc19/ (workspace-specific partition).
Try `latest` for the most recent session or `/session list` in the REPL.
```
## Impact
- Users can now tell from the error message that they're looking in the right
directory (the one their current CWD maps to)
- The workspace-fingerprint partitioning stops being invisible
- Operators understand why sessions from adjacent CWDs don't appear
- Error copy matches the actual on-disk structure
## Tests
All 466 runtime tests pass. Verified on two real workspaces with actual
workspace-fingerprint directories.
Closes ROADMAP #80.
## Problem
When a user types `claw --model gpt-4` or `--model qwen-plus`, they get:
```
error: invalid model syntax: 'gpt-4'. Expected provider/model (e.g., anthropic/claude-opus-4-6) or known alias
```
USAGE.md documents that "The error message now includes a hint that names the detected env var" — but this hint does not actually exist. The user has to re-read USAGE.md or guess the correct prefix.
## Fix
Enhance `validate_model_syntax` to detect when a model name looks like it belongs to a different provider:
1. **OpenAI models** (starts with `gpt-` or `gpt_`):
```
Did you mean `openai/gpt-4`? (Requires OPENAI_API_KEY env var)
```
2. **Qwen/DashScope models** (starts with `qwen`):
```
Did you mean `qwen/qwen-plus`? (Requires DASHSCOPE_API_KEY env var)
```
3. **Grok/xAI models** (starts with `grok`):
```
Did you mean `xai/grok-3`? (Requires XAI_API_KEY env var)
```
Unrelated invalid models (e.g., `asdfgh`) do not get a spurious hint.
## Verification
- `claw --model gpt-4` → hints `openai/gpt-4` + `OPENAI_API_KEY`
- `claw --model qwen-plus` → hints `qwen/qwen-plus` + `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY`
- `claw --model grok-3` → hints `xai/grok-3` + `XAI_API_KEY`
- `claw --model asdfgh` → generic error (no hint)
## Tests
Added 3 new assertions in `parses_multiple_diagnostic_subcommands`:
- GPT model error hints openai/ prefix and OPENAI_API_KEY
- Qwen model error hints qwen/ prefix and DASHSCOPE_API_KEY
- Unrelated models don't get a spurious hint
All 177 rusty-claude-cli tests pass.
Closes ROADMAP #154.
## Problem
Users commonly type `claw doctor --json`, `claw status --json`, or
`claw system-prompt --json` expecting JSON output. These fail with
`unrecognized argument \`--json\` for subcommand` with no hint that
`--output-format json` is the correct flag.
## Discovery
Filed as #152 during 21:17 dogfood nudge. The #127 worktree contained
a more comprehensive patch but conflicted with #141 (unified --help).
On re-investigation of main, Bugs 1 and 3 from #127 are already closed
(positional arg rejection works, no double "error:" prefix). Only
Bug 2 (the `--json` hint) remained.
## Fix
Two call sites add the hint:
1. `parse_single_word_command_alias`'s diagnostic-verb suffix path:
when rest[1] == "--json", append "Did you mean \`--output-format json\`?"
2. `parse_system_prompt_options` unknown-option path: same hint when
the option is exactly `--json`.
## Verification
Before:
$ claw doctor --json
error: unrecognized argument `--json` for subcommand `doctor`
Run `claw --help` for usage.
After:
$ claw doctor --json
error: unrecognized argument `--json` for subcommand `doctor`
Did you mean `--output-format json`?
Run `claw --help` for usage.
Covers: `doctor --json`, `status --json`, `sandbox --json`,
`system-prompt --json`, and any other diagnostic verb that routes
through `parse_single_word_command_alias`.
Other unrecognized args (`claw doctor garbage`) correctly don't
trigger the hint.
## Tests
- 2 new assertions in `parses_multiple_diagnostic_subcommands`:
- `claw doctor --json` produces hint
- `claw doctor garbage` does NOT produce hint
- 177 rusty-claude-cli tests pass
- Workspace tests green
Closes ROADMAP #152.
## Problem
`workspace_fingerprint(path)` hashes the raw path string without
canonicalization. Two equivalent paths (e.g. `/tmp/foo` vs
`/private/tmp/foo` on macOS) produce different fingerprints and
therefore different session stores. #150 fixed the test-side symptom;
this fixes the underlying product contract.
## Discovery path
#150 fix (canonicalize in test) was a workaround. Q's ack on #150
surfaced the deeper gap: the function itself is still fragile for
any caller passing a non-canonical path:
1. Embedded callers with a raw `--data-dir` path
2. Programmatic `SessionStore::from_cwd(user_path)` calls
3. NixOS store paths, Docker bind mounts, case-insensitive normalization
The REPL's default flow happens to work because `env::current_dir()`
returns canonical paths on macOS. But any caller passing a raw path
risks silent session-store divergence.
## Fix
Canonicalize inside `SessionStore::from_cwd()` and `from_data_dir()`
before computing the fingerprint. Kept `workspace_fingerprint()` itself
as a pure function for determinism — canonicalization is the entry
point's responsibility.
```rust
let canonical_cwd = fs::canonicalize(cwd).unwrap_or_else(|_| cwd.to_path_buf());
let sessions_root = canonical_cwd.join(".claw").join("sessions").join(workspace_fingerprint(&canonical_cwd));
```
Falls back to the raw path if canonicalize fails (directory doesn't
exist yet).
## Test-side updates
Three legacy-session tests expected the non-canonical base path to
match the store's workspace_root. Updated them to canonicalize
`base` after creation — same defensive pattern as #150, now
explicit across all three tests.
## Regression test
Added `session_store_from_cwd_canonicalizes_equivalent_paths` that
creates two stores from equivalent paths (raw vs canonical) and
asserts they resolve to the same sessions_dir.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p runtime session_store_` — 9/9 pass
- `cargo test --workspace` — all green, no FAILED markers
- No behavior change for existing users (REPL default flow already
used canonical paths)
## Backward compatibility
Users on macOS who always went through `env::current_dir()`:
no hash change, sessions resume identically.
Users who ever called with a non-canonical path: hash would change,
but those sessions were already broken (couldn't be resumed from a
canonical-path cwd). Net improvement.
Closes ROADMAP #151.
## #150 Fix: resume_latest test flake
**Problem:** `resume_latest_restores_the_most_recent_managed_session` intermittently
fails when run in the workspace suite or multiple times in sequence, but passes in
isolation.
**Root cause:** `workspace_fingerprint(path)` hashes the path string without
canonicalization. On macOS, `/tmp` is a symlink to `/private/tmp`. The test
creates a temp dir via `std::env::temp_dir().join(...)` which returns
`/var/folders/...` (non-canonical). When the subprocess spawns,
`env::current_dir()` returns the canonical path `/private/var/folders/...`.
The two fingerprints differ, so the subprocess looks in
`.claw/sessions/<hash1>` while files are in `.claw/sessions/<hash2>`.
Session discovery fails.
**Fix:** Call `fs::canonicalize(&project_dir)` after creating the directory
to ensure test and subprocess use identical path representations.
**Verification:** 5 consecutive runs of the full test suite — all pass.
Previously: 5/5 failed when run in sequence.
## #246 Filing: Reminder cron outcome ambiguity (control-loop blocker)
The `clawcode-dogfood-cycle-reminder` cron times out repeatedly with no
structured feedback on whether the nudge was delivered, skipped, or died in-flight.
**Phase 1 outcome schema** — add explicit field to cron result:
- `delivered` — nudge posted to Discord
- `timed_out_before_send` — died before posting
- `timed_out_after_send` — posted but cleanup timed out
- `skipped_due_to_active_cycle` — previous cycle active
- `aborted_gateway_draining` — daemon shutdown
Assigned to gaebal-gajae (cron/orchestration domain). Unblocks trustworthy
dogfood cycle observability.
Closes ROADMAP #150. Filed ROADMAP #246.
## Problem
`runtime::config::tests::validates_unknown_top_level_keys_with_line_and_field_name`
intermittently fails during `cargo test --workspace` (witnessed during
#147 and #148 workspace runs) but passes deterministically in isolation.
Example failure from workspace run:
test result: FAILED. 464 passed; 1 failed
## Root cause
`runtime/src/config.rs::tests::temp_dir()` used nanosecond timestamp
alone for namespace isolation:
std::env::temp_dir().join(format!("runtime-config-{nanos}"))
Under parallel test execution on fast machines with coarse clock
resolution, two tests start within the same nanosecond bucket and
collide on the same path. One test's `fs::remove_dir_all(root)` then
races another's in-flight `fs::create_dir_all()`.
Other crates already solved this pattern:
- plugins::tests::temp_dir(label) — label-parameterized
- runtime::git_context::tests::temp_dir(label) — label-parameterized
runtime/src/config.rs was missed.
## Fix
Added process id + monotonically-incrementing atomic counter to the
namespace, making every callsite provably unique regardless of clock
resolution or scheduling:
static COUNTER: AtomicU64 = AtomicU64::new(0);
let pid = std::process::id();
let seq = COUNTER.fetch_add(1, Ordering::Relaxed);
std::env::temp_dir().join(format!("runtime-config-{pid}-{nanos}-{seq}"))
Chose counter+pid over the label-parameterized pattern to avoid
touching all 20 callsites in the same commit (mechanical noise with
no added safety — counter alone is sufficient).
## Verification
Before: one failure per workspace run (config test flake).
After: 5 consecutive `cargo test --workspace` runs — zero config
test failures. Only pre-existing `resume_latest` flake remains
(orthogonal, unrelated to this change).
for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do cargo test --workspace; done
# All 5 runs: config tests green. Only resume_latest flake appears.

# 465 passed; 0 failed
## ROADMAP.md
Added Pinpoint #149 documenting the gap, root cause, and fix.
Closes ROADMAP #149.
## Scope
Two deltas in one commit:
### #128 closure (docs)
Re-verified on main HEAD `4cb8fa0`: malformed `--model` strings already
rejected at parse time (`validate_model_syntax` in parse_args). All
historical repro cases now produce specific errors:
claw --model '' → error: model string cannot be empty
claw --model 'bad model' → error: invalid model syntax: 'bad model' contains spaces
claw --model 'sonet' → error: invalid model syntax: 'sonet'. Expected provider/model or known alias
claw --model '@invalid' → error: invalid model syntax: '@invalid'. Expected provider/model ...
claw --model 'totally-not-real-xyz' → error: invalid model syntax: ...
claw --model sonnet → ok, resolves to claude-sonnet-4-6
claw --model anthropic/claude-opus-4-6 → ok, passes through
Marked #128 CLOSED in ROADMAP with repro block. Residual provenance gap
split off as #148.
### #148 implementation
**Problem.** After #128 closure, `claw status --output-format json`
still surfaces only the resolved model string. No way for a claw to
distinguish whether `claude-sonnet-4-6` came from `--model sonnet`
(alias resolution) vs `--model claude-sonnet-4-6` (pass-through) vs
`ANTHROPIC_MODEL` env vs `.claw.json` config vs compiled-in default.
Debug forensics had to re-read argv instead of reading a structured
field. Clawhip orchestrators sending `--model` couldn't confirm the
flag was honored vs falling back to default.
**Fix.** Added two fields to status JSON envelope:
- `model_source`: "flag" | "env" | "config" | "default"
- `model_raw`: user's input before alias resolution (null on default)
Text mode appends a `Model source` line under `Model`, showing the
source and raw input (e.g. `Model source flag (raw: sonnet)`).
**Resolution order** (mirrors resolve_repl_model but with source
attribution):
1. If `--model` / `--model=` flag supplied → source: flag, raw: flag value
2. Else if ANTHROPIC_MODEL set → source: env, raw: env value
3. Else if `.claw.json` model key set → source: config, raw: config value
4. Else → source: default, raw: null
## Changes
### rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/main.rs
- Added `ModelSource` enum (Flag/Env/Config/Default) with `as_str()`.
- Added `ModelProvenance` struct (resolved, raw, source) with
three constructors: `default_fallback()`, `from_flag(raw)`, and
`from_env_or_config_or_default(cli_model)`.
- Added `model_flag_raw: Option<String>` field to `CliAction::Status`.
- Parse loop captures raw input in `--model` and `--model=` arms.
- Extended `parse_single_word_command_alias` to thread
`model_flag_raw: Option<&str>` through.
- Extended `print_status_snapshot` signature to accept
`model_flag_raw: Option<&str>`. Resolves provenance at dispatch time
(flag provenance from arg; else probe env/config/default).
- Extended `status_json_value` signature with
`provenance: Option<&ModelProvenance>`. On Some, adds `model_source`
and `model_raw` fields; on None (legacy resume paths), omits them
for backward compat.
- Extended `format_status_report` signature with optional provenance.
On Some, renders `Model source` line after `Model`.
- Updated all existing callers (REPL /status, resume /status, tests)
to pass None (legacy paths don't carry flag provenance).
- Added 2 regression assertions in parse_args test covering both
`--model sonnet` and `--model=...` forms.
### ROADMAP.md
- Marked #128 CLOSED with re-verification block.
- Filed #148 documenting the provenance gap split, fix shape, and
acceptance criteria.

## Problem
The `"prompt"` subcommand arm enforced `if prompt.trim().is_empty()`
and returned a specific error. The fallthrough `other` arm in the same
match block — which routes any unrecognized first positional arg to
`CliAction::Prompt` — had no such guard. Result:
$ claw ""
error: missing Anthropic credentials; export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN ...
$ claw " "
error: missing Anthropic credentials; ...
$ claw "" ""
error: missing Anthropic credentials; ...
$ claw --output-format json ""
{"error":"missing Anthropic credentials; ...","type":"error"}
An empty prompt should never reach the credentials check. Worse: with
valid credentials, the literal empty string gets sent to Claude as a
user prompt, either burning tokens for nothing or triggering a model-
side refusal. Same prompt-misdelivery family as #145.
## Root cause
In `parse_subcommand()`, the final `other =>` arm in the top-level
match only guards against typos (#108 guard via `looks_like_subcommand_typo`)
and then unconditionally builds `CliAction::Prompt { prompt: rest.join(" ") }`.
An empty/whitespace-only join passes through.
## Changes
### rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/main.rs
Added the same `if joined.trim().is_empty()` guard already used in the
`"prompt"` arm to the fallthrough path. Error message distinguishes it
from the `prompt` subcommand path:
empty prompt: provide a subcommand (run `claw --help`) or a
non-empty prompt string
Runs AFTER the typo guard (so `claw sttaus` still suggests `status`)
and BEFORE CliAction::Prompt construction (so no network call ever
happens for empty inputs).
### Regression tests
Added 4 assertions in the existing parse_args test:
- parse_args([""]) → Err("empty prompt: ...")
- parse_args([" "]) → Err("empty prompt: ...")
- parse_args(["", ""]) → Err("empty prompt: ...")
- parse_args(["sttaus"]) → Err("unknown subcommand: ...") [verifies #108 typo guard still takes precedence]
### ROADMAP.md
Added Pinpoint #147 documenting the gap, verification, root cause,
fix shape, and acceptance. Joins the prompt-misdelivery cluster
alongside #145.

## Tests

## Problem
`claw config` and `claw diff` are pure-local read-only introspection
commands (config merges .claw.json + .claw/settings.json from disk; diff
shells out to `git diff --cached` + `git diff`). Neither needs a session
context, yet both rejected direct CLI invocation:
$ claw config
error: `claw config` is a slash command. Use `claw --resume SESSION.jsonl /config` ...
$ claw diff
error: `claw diff` is a slash command. ...
This forced clawing operators to spin up a full session just to inspect
static disk state, and broke natural pipelines like
`claw config --output-format json | jq`.
## Root cause
Sibling of #145: `SlashCommand::Config { section }` and
`SlashCommand::Diff` had working renderers (`render_config_report`,
`render_config_json`, `render_diff_report`, `render_diff_json_for`)
exposed for resume sessions, but the top-level CLI parser in
`parse_subcommand()` had no arms for them. Zero-arg `config`/`diff`
hit `parse_single_word_command_alias`'s fallback to
`bare_slash_command_guidance`, producing the misleading guidance.
## Changes
### rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/main.rs
- Added `CliAction::Config { section, output_format }` and
`CliAction::Diff { output_format }` variants.
- Added `"config"` / `"diff"` arms to the top-level parser in
`parse_subcommand()`. `config` accepts an optional section name
(env|hooks|model|plugins) matching SlashCommand::Config semantics.
`diff` takes no positional args. Both reject extra trailing args
with a clear error.
- Added `"config" | "diff" => None` to
`parse_single_word_command_alias` so bare invocations fall through
to the new parser arms instead of the slash-guidance error.
- Added dispatch in run() that calls existing renderers: text mode uses
`render_config_report` / `render_diff_report`; JSON mode uses
`render_config_json` / `render_diff_json_for` with
`serde_json::to_string_pretty`.
- Added 5 regression assertions in parse_args test covering:
parse_args(["config"]), parse_args(["config", "env"]),
parse_args(["config", "--output-format", "json"]),
parse_args(["diff"]), parse_args(["diff", "--output-format", "json"]).
### ROADMAP.md
Added Pinpoint #146 documenting the gap, verification, root cause,
fix shape, and acceptance. Explicitly notes which other slash commands
(`hooks`, `usage`, `context`, etc.) are NOT candidates because they
are session-state-modifying.

Closes ROADMAP #146.
## Problem
`claw plugins` (and `claw plugins list`, `claw plugins --help`,
`claw plugins info <name>`, etc.) fell through the top-level subcommand
match and got routed into the prompt-execution path. Result: a purely
local introspection command triggered an Anthropic API call and surfaced
`missing Anthropic credentials` to the user. With valid credentials, it
would actually send the literal string "plugins" as a user prompt to
Claude, burning tokens for a local query.
$ claw plugins
error: missing Anthropic credentials; export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY before calling the Anthropic API
$ ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=dummy claw plugins
⠋ 🦀 Thinking...

error: api returned 401 Unauthorized
Meanwhile siblings (`agents`, `mcp`, `skills`) all worked correctly:
$ claw agents
No agents found.
$ claw mcp
MCP
Working directory ...
Configured servers 0
## Root cause
`CliAction::Plugins` exists, has a working dispatcher
(`LiveCli::print_plugins`), and is produced inside the REPL via
`SlashCommand::Plugins`. But the top-level CLI parser in
`parse_subcommand()` had arms for `agents`, `mcp`, `skills`, `status`,
`doctor`, `init`, `export`, `prompt`, etc., and **no arm for
`plugins`**. The dispatch never ran from the CLI entry point.
## Changes
### rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/main.rs
Added a `"plugins"` arm to the top-level match in `parse_subcommand()`
that produces `CliAction::Plugins { action, target, output_format }`,
following the same positional convention as `mcp` (`action` = first
positional, `target` = second). Rejects >2 positional args with a clear
error.
Added four regression assertions in the existing `parse_args` test:
- `plugins` alone → `CliAction::Plugins { action: None, target: None }`
- `plugins list` → action: Some("list"), target: None
- `plugins enable <name>` → action: Some("enable"), target: Some(...)
- `plugins --output-format json` → action: None, output_format: Json

Closes ROADMAP #145.
Filing + Phase 1 fix in one commit (sibling of #143).
## Context
With #143 Phase 1 landed (`claw status` degrades), `claw mcp` was the
remaining diagnostic surface that hard-failed on a malformed `.claw.json`.
Same input, same parse error, same partial-success violation. Fresh
dogfood at 18:59 KST caught it on main HEAD `e2a43fc`.
## Changes
### ROADMAP.md
Added Pinpoint #144 documenting the gap and acceptance criteria. Joins
the partial-success / Principle #5 cluster with #143.
### rust/crates/commands/src/lib.rs
`render_mcp_report_for()` + `render_mcp_report_json_for()` now catch the
ConfigError at loader.load() instead of propagating:
- **Text mode** prepends a "Config load error" block (same shape as
#143's status output) before the MCP listing. The listing still renders
with empty servers so the output structure is preserved.
- **JSON mode** adds top-level `status: "ok" | "degraded"` +
`config_load_error: string | null` fields alongside existing fields
(`kind`, `action`, `working_directory`, `configured_servers`,
`servers[]`). On clean runs, `status: "ok"` and
`config_load_error: null`. On parse failure, `status: "degraded"`,
`config_load_error: "..."`, `servers: []`, exit 0.
- Both list and show actions get the same treatment.
### Regression test
`commands::tests::mcp_degrades_gracefully_on_malformed_mcp_config_144`:
- Injects the same malformed .claw.json as #143 (one valid + one broken
mcpServers entry).
- Asserts mcp list returns Ok (not Err).
- Asserts top-level status: "degraded" and config_load_error names the
malformed field path.
- Asserts show action also degrades.
- Asserts clean path returns status: "ok" with config_load_error null.

## Contract alignment after this commit
All three diagnostic surfaces match now:
- `doctor` — degraded envelope with typed check entries ✅
- `status` — degraded envelope with config_load_error ✅ (#143)
- `mcp` — degraded envelope with config_load_error ✅ (this commit)
Phase 2 (typed-error object joining taxonomy §4.44) tracked separately
across all three surfaces.
Full workspace test green except pre-existing resume_latest flake (unrelated).
Closes ROADMAP #144 phase 1.
Previously `claw status` hard-failed on any config parse error, emitting
a bare error string and exiting 1. This took down the entire health
surface for a single malformed MCP entry, even though workspace, git,
model, permission, and sandbox state could all be reported independently.
`claw doctor` already degraded gracefully on the exact same input.
This commit matches `claw status` to that contract.
Changes:
- Add `StatusContext::config_load_error: Option<String>` to capture parse
errors without aborting.
- Rewrite `status_context()` to match on `ConfigLoader::load()`: on Err,
fall back to default `SandboxConfig` for sandbox resolution and record
the parse error, then continue populating workspace/git/memory fields.
- JSON output gains top-level `status: "ok" | "degraded"` marker and a
`config_load_error` string (null on clean runs). All other existing
fields preserved for backward compat.
- Text output prepends a "Config load error" block with Details + Hint
when config failed to parse, then a "Status (degraded)" header on the
main block. Clean runs show the usual "Status" header.
- Doctor path updated to pass the config load error through StatusContext.
Regression test `status_degrades_gracefully_on_malformed_mcp_config_143`:
- Injects a .claw.json with one valid + one malformed mcpServers entry
- Asserts status_context() returns Ok (not Err)
- Asserts config_load_error names the malformed field path
- Asserts workspace/sandbox fields still populated in JSON
- Asserts top-level status is 'degraded'
- Asserts clean config path still returns status: 'ok'
Verified live on /Users/yeongyu/clawd (contains deliberately broken MCP entries):
$ claw status --output-format json

"config_load_error": ".../mcpServers.missing-command: missing string field command",
"model": "claude-opus-4-6",
"workspace": {...},
"sandbox": {...},
... }
Phase 2 (typed error object joining #4.44 taxonomy) tracked separately.
Full workspace test green except pre-existing resume_latest flake (unrelated).
Closes ROADMAP #143 phase 1.
Previously `claw state` errored with "no worker state file found ... — run a
worker first" but there is no `claw worker` subcommand, so claws had no
discoverable path from the error to a fix.
Changes:
- Rewrite the missing-state error to name the two concrete commands that
produce .claw/worker-state.json:
* `claw` (interactive REPL, writes state on first turn)
* `claw prompt <text>` (one non-interactive turn)
Also tell the user what to rerun: `claw state [--output-format json]`.
- Expand the State --help topic with "Produces state", "Observes state",
and "Exit codes" lines so the worker-state contract is discoverable
before the user hits the error.
- Add regression test state_error_surfaces_actionable_worker_commands_139
asserting the error contains `claw prompt`, REPL mention, and the
rerun path, plus that the help topic documents the producer contract.
Verified live:
$ claw state
error: no worker state file found at .claw/worker-state.json
Hint: worker state is written by the interactive REPL or a non-interactive prompt.
Run: claw # start the REPL (writes state on first turn)
Or: claw prompt <text> # run one non-interactive turn
Then rerun: claw state [--output-format json]
JSON mode preserves the full hint inside the error envelope so CI/claws
can match on `claw prompt` without losing the canonical prefix.
Full workspace test green except pre-existing resume_latest flake (unrelated).
Closes ROADMAP #139.
Previously `claw init --output-format json` emitted a valid JSON envelope but
packed the entire human-formatted output into a single `message` string. Claw
scripts had to substring-match human language to tell `created` from `skipped`.
Changes:
- Add InitStatus::json_tag() returning machine-stable "created"|"updated"|"skipped"
(unlike label() which includes the human " (already exists)" suffix).
- Add InitReport::NEXT_STEP constant so claws can read the next-step hint
without grepping the message string.
- Add InitReport::artifacts_with_status() to partition artifacts by state.
- Add InitReport::artifact_json_entries() for the structured artifacts[] array.
- Rewrite run_init + init_json_value to emit first-class fields alongside the
legacy message string (kept for text consumers): project_path, created[],
updated[], skipped[], artifacts[], next_step, message.
- Update the slash-command Init dispatch to use the same structured JSON.
- Add regression test artifacts_with_status_partitions_fresh_and_idempotent_runs
asserting both fresh + idempotent runs produce the right partitioning and
that the machine-stable tag is bare 'skipped' not label()'s phrasing.
Verified output:
- Fresh dir: created[] has 4 entries, skipped[] empty
- Idempotent call: created[] empty, skipped[] has 4 entries
- project_path, next_step as first-class keys
- message preserved verbatim for backward compat
Full workspace test green except pre-existing resume_latest flake (unrelated).
Closes ROADMAP #142.
Previously, `claw <subcommand> --help` had 5 different behaviors:
- 7 subcommands returned subcommand-specific help (correct)
- init/export/state/version silently fell back to global `claw --help`
- system-prompt/dump-manifests errored with `unknown <cmd> option: --help`
- bootstrap-plan printed its phase list instead of help text
Changes:
- Extend LocalHelpTopic enum with Init, State, Export, Version, SystemPrompt,
DumpManifests, BootstrapPlan variants.
- Extend parse_local_help_action() to resolve those 7 subcommands to their
local help topic instead of falling through to the main dispatch.
- Remove init/state/export/version from the explicit wants_help=true matcher
so they reach parse_local_help_action() before being routed to global help.
- Add render_help_topic() entries for the 7 new topics with consistent
Usage/Purpose/Output/Formats/Related structure.
- Add regression test subcommand_help_flag_has_one_contract_across_all_subcommands_141
asserting every documented subcommand + both --help and -h variants resolve
to a HelpTopic with non-empty text that contains a Usage line.
Verification:
- All 14 subcommands now return subcommand-specific help (live dogfood).
- Full workspace test green except pre-existing resume_latest flake.
Closes ROADMAP #141.
Previously this test inherited the cargo test runner's CWD, which could contain
a stale .claw/settings.json with "permissionMode": "acceptEdits" written by
another test. The deprecated-field resolver then silently downgraded the
default permission mode to WorkspaceWrite, breaking the test's assertion.
Fix: wrap the assertion in with_current_dir() + env_lock() so the test runs in
an isolated temp directory with no stale config.
Full workspace test now passes except for pre-existing resume_latest flake
(unrelated to #140, environment-dependent, tracked separately).
Closes ROADMAP #140.
Updated LocalHelpTopic help strings to surface --output-format support:
- Status, Sandbox, Doctor, Acp all now show [--output-format <format>]
- Added 'Formats: text (default), json' line to each
Diagnostic verbs support JSON output but help text didn't advertise it.
Post-#127 fix: help text now matches actual CLI surface.
Verified: cargo build passes, claw doctor --help shows output-format.
Refs: #127
Diagnostic verbs (help, version, status, sandbox, doctor, state) now
reject unrecognized suffix arguments at parse time instead of silently
falling through to Prompt dispatch.
Fixes: claw doctor --json (and similar) no longer accepts --json silently
and attempts to send it to the LLM as a prompt. Now properly emits:
'unrecognized argument `--json` for subcommand `doctor`'
Joined parser-level trust gap quintet #108 + #117 + #119 + #122 + #127.
Prevents token burn on rejected arguments.
Verified: cargo build --workspace passes, claw doctor --json errors cleanly.
Refs: #127, ROADMAP
Adds ship provenance detection and emission in execute_bash_async():
- Detects git push to main/master commands
- Captures current branch, HEAD commit, git user as actor
- Emits ship.prepared event with ShipProvenance payload
- Logs to stderr as interim routing (event stream integration pending)
This is the first wired provenance event — schema (§4.44.5) now has
runtime emission at actual git operation boundary.
Verified: cargo build --workspace passes.
Next: wire ship.commits_selected, ship.merged, ship.pushed_main events.
Refs: §4.44.5.1, ROADMAP #4.44.5
#122: doctor invocation now checks stale-base condition
- Calls run_stale_base_preflight(None) in render_doctor_report()
- Emits stale-base warnings to stderr when branch is behind main
- Fixes inconsistency: doctor 'ok' vs prompt 'stale base' warning
#125: git_state field reflects non-git directories
- When !in_git_repo, git_state = 'not in git repo' instead of 'clean'
- Fixes contradiction: in_git_repo: false but git_state: 'clean'
- Applied in both doctor text output and status JSON
Verified: cargo build --workspace passes.
Refs: ROADMAP #122 (dd73962), #125 (debbcbe)
Adds run_stale_base_preflight(None) call to render_doctor_report() so that
claw doctor emits stale-base warnings to stderr when the current branch is
behind main. Previously doctor reported 'ok' even when branch was stale,
creating inconsistency with prompt path warnings.
Fixes silent-state inventory gap: doctor now consistent with prompt/repl
stale-base checking. No behavior change for non-stale branches.
Verified: cargo build --workspace passes, no test failures.
Ref: ROADMAP #122 dogfood filing @ dd73962
Adds structured ship provenance surface to eliminate delivery-path opacity:
New lane events:
- ship.prepared — intent to ship established
- ship.commits_selected — commit range locked
- ship.merged — merge completed with provenance
- ship.pushed_main — delivery to main confirmed
ShipProvenance struct carries:
- source_branch, base_commit
- commit_count, commit_range
- merge_method (direct_push/fast_forward/merge_commit/squash_merge/rebase_merge)
- actor, pr_number
Constructor methods added to LaneEvent for all four ship events.
Tests:
- Wire value serialization for ship events
- Round-trip deserialization
- Canonical event name coverage
Runtime: 465 tests pass
ROADMAP updated with IMPLEMENTED status
This closes the gap where 56 commits pushed to main had no structured
provenance trail — now emits first-class events for clawhip consumption.
Added structured delivery-path contract to surface branch → merge → main-push
provenance as first-class events. Filed from the 56-commit 2026-04-20 push
that exposed the gap.

Add "kimi" to the strip_routing_prefix matches so that models like
"kimi/kimi-k2.5" have their prefix stripped before sending to the
DashScope API (consistent with qwen/openai/xai/grok handling).
Also add unit test strip_routing_prefix_strips_kimi_provider_prefix.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Changes in rust/crates/api/src/providers/mod.rs:
- Add 'kimi' alias to MODEL_REGISTRY resolving to 'kimi-k2.5' with DashScope config
- Add kimi/kimi- prefix routing to DashScope endpoint in metadata_for_model()
- Add resolve_model_alias() handling for kimi -> kimi-k2.5
- Add unit tests: kimi_prefix_routes_to_dashscope, kimi_alias_resolves_to_kimi_k2_5
Users can now use:
- --model kimi (resolves to kimi-k2.5)
- --model kimi-k2.5 (auto-routes to DashScope)
- --model kimi/kimi-k2.5 (explicit provider prefix)
All 127 tests pass, clippy clean.

Added criterion benchmarks and optimized flatten_tool_result_content:
- Added criterion dev-dependency and request_building benchmark suite
- Optimized flatten_tool_result_content to pre-allocate capacity and avoid
intermediate Vec construction (was collecting to Vec then joining)
- Made key functions public for benchmarking: translate_message,
build_chat_completion_request, flatten_tool_result_content,
is_reasoning_model, model_rejects_is_error_field
Benchmark results:
- flatten_tool_result_content/single_text: ~17ns
- translate_message/text_only: ~200ns
- build_chat_completion_request/10 messages: ~16.4µs
- is_reasoning_model detection: ~26-42ns

Added 4 unit tests to verify is_error field handling for kimi models:
- model_rejects_is_error_field_detects_kimi_models: Detects kimi-k2.5, kimi-k1.5, dashscope/kimi-k2.5 (case insensitive)
- translate_message_includes_is_error_for_non_kimi_models: Verifies gpt-4o, grok-3, claude include is_error
- translate_message_excludes_is_error_for_kimi_models: Verifies kimi models exclude is_error (prevents 400 Bad Request)
- build_chat_completion_request_kimi_vs_non_kimi_tool_results: Full integration test for request building
All 119 unit tests and 29 integration tests pass.

Adds typed worker.startup_no_evidence event with evidence bundle when worker
startup times out. The classifier attempts to down-rank the vague bucket into
specific failure classifications:
- trust_required
- prompt_misdelivery
- prompt_acceptance_timeout
- transport_dead
- worker_crashed
- unknown
Evidence bundle includes:
- Last known worker lifecycle state
- Pane/command being executed
- Prompt-send timestamp
- Prompt-acceptance state
- Trust-prompt detection result
- Transport health summary
- MCP health summary
- Elapsed seconds since worker creation
Includes 6 regression tests covering:
- Evidence bundle serialization
- Transport dead classification
- Trust required classification
- Prompt acceptance timeout
- Worker crashed detection
- Unknown fallback
Closes Phase 1.6 from ROADMAP.

ROADMAP #21, #22, and #23 were already closed on current main, so the next real repo-local backlog item was the ACP/Zed discoverability gap. This adds a local `claw acp` status surface plus aliases, updates help/docs, and separates the shipped discoverability fix from the still-open daemon/protocol follow-up so editor-first users get a crisp answer immediately.
Constraint: No ACP/Zed daemon or protocol server exists in claw-code yet, so the new surface must be explicit status guidance rather than a fake implementation
Rejected: Add a pretend `acp serve` daemon path | would imply supported protocol behavior that does not exist
Rejected: Docs-only clarification | still leaves `claw --help` unable to answer the editor-launch question directly
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep ROADMAP discoverability fixes separate from future ACP daemon/protocol work so help text and backlog IDs stay unambiguous
Tested: cargo fmt --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace; cargo run -q -p rusty-claude-cli -- acp; cargo run -q -p rusty-claude-cli -- --output-format json acp; architect review APPROVED
Not-tested: Real ACP/Zed daemon launch because no protocol-serving surface exists yet
Malformed hook stdout that looks like JSON was collapsing into low-signal failure text during hook execution. This change preserves plain-text hook feedback for normal text hooks, but upgrades malformed JSON-like output into an explicit hook_invalid_json diagnostic that includes phase, tool, command, and bounded stdout/stderr previews. It also adds a regression test for malformed-but-nonempty output.
Constraint: User scoped the implementation to rust/crates/runtime/src/hooks.rs and tests only
Constraint: Existing plain-text hook feedback must remain intact for non-JSON hook output
Rejected: Treat every non-JSON stdout payload as invalid JSON | would break legitimate plain-text hook feedback
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep malformed-hook diagnostics bounded and preserve the plain-text fallback for hooks that intentionally emit text
Tested: cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p runtime hooks::tests:: -- --nocapture
Tested: cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p runtime -- --nocapture
Tested: cargo clippy --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p runtime --all-targets -- -D warnings
Not-tested: Full workspace clippy/test sweep outside runtime crate
Recent OMX dogfooding kept surfacing raw `[OMX_TMUX_INJECT]`
messages as lane results, which told operators that tmux reinjection
happened but not why or what lane/state it applied to. The lane-finished
persistence path now recognizes that control prose, stores structured
recovery metadata, and emits a human-meaningful fallback summary instead
of preserving the raw marker as the primary result.
Constraint: Keep the fix in the existing lane-finished metadata surface rather than inventing a new runtime channel
Rejected: Treat all reinjection prose as ordinary quality-floor mush | loses the recovery cause and target lane operators actually need
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Recovery classification is heuristic; extend the parser only when new operator phrasing shows up in real dogfood evidence
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check
Tested: cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
Tested: cargo test --workspace
Tested: LSP diagnostics on rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs (0 errors)
Tested: Architect review (APPROVE)
Not-tested: Additional reinjection phrasings beyond the currently observed `[OMX_TMUX_INJECT]` / current-mode-state variants
Related: ROADMAP #68
Dogfooding kept reproducing OMX team merge conflicts on
`.clawhip/state/prompt-submit.json`, so the init bootstrap now
teaches repos to ignore `.clawhip/` alongside the existing local
`.claw/` artifacts. This also updates the current repo ignore list
so the fix helps immediately instead of only on future `claw init`
runs.
Constraint: Keep the fix narrow and centered on repo-local ignore hygiene
Rejected: Broader team merge-hygiene changes | unnecessary for the proven local root cause
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: If more runtime-local artifact directories appear, extend the shared init gitignore list instead of patching repos ad hoc
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check

Tested: cargo test --workspace
Tested: Architect review (APPROVE)
Not-tested: Existing clones with already-tracked `.clawhip` files still need manual cleanup

The repo-local backlog was effectively exhausted, so this sweep promoted the
newly observed test-lock poisoning pain point into ROADMAP #74 and fixed it in
place. Test-only env/cwd lock acquisition now recovers poisoned mutexes in the
remaining strict call sites, and each affected surface has a regression that
proves a panic no longer permanently poisons later tests.
Constraint: Keep the fix test-only and avoid widening runtime behavior changes
Rejected: Refactor shared helper signatures across broader call paths | unnecessary churn beyond the remaining strict test sites
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: These guards only recover the mutex; tests that mutate env or cwd still must restore process-global state explicitly
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check
Tested: cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
Tested: cargo test --workspace
Tested: Architect review (APPROVE)
Not-tested: Additional fault-injection around partially restored env/cwd state after panic
Related: ROADMAP #74
The next repo-local sweep target was ROADMAP #66: reminder/cron
state could stay enabled after the associated lane had already
finished, which left stale nudges firing into completed work. The
fix teaches successful lane persistence to disable matching enabled
cron entries and record which reminder ids were shut down on the
finished event.
Constraint: Preserve existing cron/task registries and add the shutdown behavior only on the successful lane-finished path
Rejected: Add a separate reminder-cleanup command that operators must remember to run | leaves the completion leak unfixed at the source
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: If cron-matching heuristics change later, update `disable_matching_crons`, its regression, and the ROADMAP closeout together
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace; architect review APPROVE
Not-tested: Cross-process cron/reminder persistence beyond the in-memory registry used in this repo
The next repo-local sweep target was ROADMAP #64: downstream consumers
still had to infer artifact provenance from prose even though the repo
already emitted structured lane events. The fix extends `lane.finished`
metadata with structured artifact provenance so successful completions
can report roadmap ids, files, diff stat, verification state, and commit
sha without relying on narration alone.
Constraint: Preserve the existing commit-created event and lane-finished metadata paths while adding structured provenance to successful completions
Rejected: Introduce a separate artifact event type first | unnecessary for this focused closeout because `lane.finished` already carries structured data and existing consumers can read it there
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: If artifact provenance extraction rules change later, update `extract_artifact_provenance`, its regression payload, and the ROADMAP closeout together
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace; architect review APPROVE
Not-tested: Downstream consumers that ignore `lane.finished.data.artifactProvenance` and still parse only prose output
The next repo-local sweep target was ROADMAP #73: repeated backlog
sweeps exposed that session writes could share the same wall-clock
millisecond, which made semantic recency fragile and forced the
resume-latest regression to sleep between saves. The fix makes session
timestamps monotonic within the process and removes the timing hack
from the test so latest-session selection stays stable under tight
loops.
Constraint: Preserve the existing session file format while changing only the timestamp source semantics
Rejected: Keep the sleep-based test workaround | hides the real ordering hazard instead of fixing timestamp generation
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Any future session-recency logic must keep `current_time_millis`, ordering tests, and latest-session expectations aligned
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace; architect review APPROVE
Not-tested: Cross-process monotonicity when multiple binaries write sessions concurrently
The next repo-local sweep target was ROADMAP #65: backlog-scanning
lanes could stop with prose-only summaries naming roadmap items, but
there was no machine-readable record of which items were chosen,
which were skipped, or whether the lane intended to execute, review,
or no-op. The fix teaches completed lane persistence to extract a
structured selection outcome while preserving the existing quality-
floor and review-verdict behavior for other lanes.
Constraint: Keep selection-outcome extraction on the existing `lane.finished` metadata path instead of inventing a separate event stream
Rejected: Add a dedicated selection event type first | unnecessary for this focused closeout because `lane.finished` already persists structured data downstream can read
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: If backlog-scan summary conventions change later, update `extract_selection_outcome`, its regression test, and the ROADMAP closeout wording together
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace; architect review APPROVE after roadmap closeout update
Not-tested: Downstream consumers that may still ignore `lane.finished.data.selectionOutcome`
The next repo-local sweep target was ROADMAP #67: scoped review lanes
could stop with prose-only output, leaving downstream consumers to infer
approval or rejection from later chatter. The fix teaches completed lane
persistence to recognize review-style `APPROVE`/`REJECT`/`BLOCKED`
results, attach structured verdict metadata to `lane.finished`, and keep
ordinary non-review lanes on the existing quality-floor path.
Constraint: Preserve the existing non-review lane summary path while enriching only review-style completions
Rejected: Add a brand-new lane event type just for review results | unnecessary when `lane.finished` already carries structured metadata and downstream consumers can read it there
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: If review verdict parsing changes later, update `extract_review_outcome`, the finished-event payload fields, and the review-lane regression together
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace; architect review APPROVE
Not-tested: External consumers that may still ignore `lane.finished.data.reviewVerdict`
The next repo-local sweep target was ROADMAP #72: the `latest`
managed-session alias could depend on filesystem mtime before the
session's own persisted recency markers, which made the selection
path vulnerable to coarse or misleading file timestamps. The fix
promotes `updated_at_ms` into the summary/order path, keeps CLI
wrappers in sync, and locks the mtime-vs-session-recency case with
regression coverage.
Constraint: Preserve existing managed-session storage layout while changing only the ordering signal
Rejected: Keep sorting by filesystem mtime and just sleep longer in tests | hides the semantic ordering bug instead of fixing it
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Any future managed-session ordering change must keep runtime and CLI summary structs aligned on the same recency fields
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace; architect review APPROVE
Not-tested: Cross-filesystem behavior where persisted session JSON cannot be read and fallback ordering uses mtime only
The next repo-local sweep target was ROADMAP #71: a claw-code lane
accepted an unrelated KakaoTalk/image-analysis prompt even though the
lane itself was supposed to be repo-scoped work. This extends the
existing prompt-misdelivery guardrail with an optional structured task
receipt so worker boot can reject visible wrong-task context before the
lane continues executing.
Constraint: Keep the fix inside the existing worker_boot / WorkerSendPrompt control surface instead of inventing a new external OMX-only protocol
Rejected: Treat wrong-task receipts as generic shell misdelivery | loses the expected-vs-observed task context needed to debug contaminated lanes
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: If task-receipt fields change later, update the WorkerSendPrompt schema, worker payload serialization, and wrong-task regression together
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace; architect review APPROVE
Not-tested: External orchestrators that have not yet started populating the optional task_receipt field
The next repo-local backlog item was ROADMAP #70: users could
mistake third-party pages or the deprecated `cargo install
claw-code` path for the official install route. The CLI now
surfaces the source of truth directly in `claw doctor` and
`claw --help`, and the roadmap closeout records the change.
Constraint: Keep the fix inside repo-local Rust CLI surfaces instead of relying on docs alone
Rejected: Close#70 with README-only wording | the bug was user-facing CLI ambiguity, so the warning needed to appear in runtime help/doctor output
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: If install guidance changes later, update both the doctor check payload and the help-text warning together
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace; architect review APPROVE
Not-tested: Third-party websites outside this repo that may still present stale install instructions
The next repo-local sweep target was ROADMAP #69: completed lane
runs could persist vague control text like “commit push everyting,
keep sweeping $ralph”, which made downstream stop summaries
operationally useless. The fix adds a lane-finished quality floor
that preserves strong summaries, rewrites empty/control-only/too-
short-without-context summaries into a contextual fallback, and
records structured metadata explaining when the fallback fired.
Constraint: Keep legitimate concise lane summaries intact while improving only low-signal completions
Rejected: Blanket-rewrite every completed summary into a templated sentence | would erase useful model-authored detail from good lane outputs
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: If lane-finished summary heuristics change later, update the structured `qualityFloorApplied/rawSummary/reasons/wordCount` contract and its regression tests together
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace; architect review APPROVE
Not-tested: External OMX consumers that may still ignore the new lane.finished data payload
The backlog sweep found that the user-cited #21-#23 items were already
closed, and the next real pain point was `claw dump-manifests` failing
without a direct way to point at the upstream manifest source. This adds
an explicit `--manifests-dir` path, upgrades the failure messages to say
whether the source root or required files are missing, and updates the
ROADMAP closeout to reflect that #45 is now fixed.
Constraint: Preserve existing dump-manifests behavior when no explicit override is supplied
Rejected: Require CLAUDE_CODE_UPSTREAM for every invocation | breaks existing build-tree workflows and is unnecessarily rigid
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep manifest-source override guidance centralized so future error-path edits do not drift
Tested: cargo fmt --all; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace; architect review APPROVE
Not-tested: Manual invocation against every legacy env-based manifest lookup layout
ROADMAP #39 was stale: current main already hides the unimplemented slash
commands from the help/completion surfaces that triggered the original report,
so the backlog entry should be marked done with current evidence instead of
staying open forever.
While rerunning the user's required Rust verification gates on the exact commit
we planned to push, clippy exposed duplicate and unused imports in the plugin
state-isolation files. Folding those cleanup fixes into the same closeout keeps
the proof honest and restores a green workspace before the backlog retirement
lands.
Constraint: User required fresh cargo fmt, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, and cargo test --workspace before push
Rejected: Push the roadmap-only closeout without fixing the workspace | would violate the required verification gate and leave main red
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Re-run the full Rust workspace gates on the exact commit you intend to push when retiring stale roadmap items
Tested: cargo fmt; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace
Not-tested: No manual interactive REPL completion/help smoke test beyond the existing automated coverage
OMX lanes leaking internal control prose like [OMX_TMUX_INJECT]
instead of operator-meaningful state. Adding requirement for
structured recovery/reinject events with clear cause, preserved
state, and target lane info.
Also fixes merge conflict in test_isolation.rs.

ROADMAP #36 remained open even though current main already dispatches bare
skill names in the REPL through skill resolution instead of forwarding them
to the model. This change adds a direct regression test for that behavior
and marks the backlog item done with fresh verification evidence.
Constraint: User required fresh cargo fmt, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, and cargo test --workspace before closeout
Rejected: Leave #36 open because the implementation already existed | keeps the immediate backlog inaccurate and invites duplicate work
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow

Directive: Reopen#36 only with a fresh repro showing a listed project skill still falls through to plain prompt handling on current main
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace
Not-tested: No interactive manual REPL session beyond the new bare-skill unit coverage
ROADMAP #40 was still listed as open even though current main already keeps
valid plugins visible while surfacing broken-plugin load failures. This change
adds a direct command-surface regression test for the warning block and marks
#40 done with fresh verification evidence.
Constraint: User required fresh cargo fmt/clippy/test evidence before closing any backlog item
Rejected: Leave #40 open because the implementation already existed | keeps the immediate backlog inaccurate and invites duplicate work
Confidence: high

Not-tested: No interactive manual /plugins list run beyond automated command-layer rendering coverage
The ROADMAP #38 closeout was rebased onto a moving main branch. That pulled in
new workspace files whose clippy/rustfmt fixes were required for the exact
verification gate the user asked for. This follow-up records those remaining
cleanups so the pushed branch matches the green tree that was actually tested.
Constraint: The user-required full-workspace fmt/clippy/test sequence had to stay green after rebasing onto newer origin/main
Rejected: Leave the rebase cleanup uncommitted locally | working tree would stay dirty and the pushed branch would not match the verified code
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: When rebasing onto a moving main, commit any gate-fixing follow-up so pushed history matches the verified tree
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace
Not-tested: No additional behavior beyond the already-green verification sweep
ROADMAP #38 stayed open even though the runtime already had a post-compaction
session-health probe. This change adds direct regression tests for that health
probe behavior and marks the roadmap item done. While re-running the required
workspace verification after a remote rebase, a small set of upstream clippy /
compile issues in plugins and test-isolation code also had to be repaired so the
user-requested full fmt/clippy/test sequence could pass on the rebased main.
Constraint: User required cargo fmt, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, and cargo test --workspace before commit/push
Constraint: Remote main advanced during execution, so the change had to be rebased and re-verified before push
Rejected: Leave #38 open because the implementation pre-existed | keeps the immediate backlog inaccurate and invites duplicate work
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Reopen#38 only with a fresh compaction-vs-broken-surface repro on current main
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace
Not-tested: No live long-running dogfood session replay beyond the new runtime regression tests
ROADMAP #38 no longer reflects current main. The runtime already runs a
post-compaction session-health probe, but the backlog lacked explicit
regression proof. This change adds focused tests for the two important
behaviors: a broken tool surface aborts a compacted session with a targeted
error, while a freshly compacted empty session does not false-positive as
dead. With that proof in place, the roadmap item can be marked done.
Constraint: User required fresh cargo fmt/clippy/test evidence before closing any backlog item
Rejected: Leave #38 open because the implementation already existed | backlog stays stale and invites duplicate work
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Reopen#38 only with a fresh same-turn repro that bypasses the current health-probe gate
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace
Not-tested: No live long-running dogfood session replay beyond existing automated coverage
The ROADMAP #37 code path was correct, but the Rust and usage guides still
advertised `claw login` / `claw logout` and OAuth-login wording after the
command surface had been removed. This follow-up updates both docs to point
users at `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` or `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` only and removes the
stale command examples.
Constraint: Prior follow-up review rejected the closeout until user-facing auth docs matched the landed behavior
Rejected: Leave docs stale because runtime behavior was already correct | contradicts shipped CLI and re-opens support confusion
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: When auth policy changes, update both rust/README.md and USAGE.md in the same change as the code surface
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace
Not-tested: External rendered-doc consumers beyond repository markdown
ROADMAP #37 was still open even though several earlier backlog items were
already closed. This change removes the local login/logout surface, stops
startup auth resolution from treating saved OAuth credentials as a supported
path, and updates diagnostics/help to point users at ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN only.
While proving the change with the user-requested workspace gates, clippy
surfaced additional pre-existing warning failures across the Rust workspace.
Those were cleaned up in-place so the required `cargo fmt`, `cargo clippy
--workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`, and `cargo test --workspace`
sequence now passes end to end.
Constraint: User explicitly required full-workspace fmt/clippy/test before commit/push
Constraint: Existing dirty leader worktree had to be stashed before attempted OMX team worktree launch
Rejected: Keep login/logout but hide them from help | left unsupported auth flow and saved OAuth fallback intact
Rejected: Stop after ROADMAP #37 targeted tests | did not satisfy required full-workspace verification gate
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Do not reintroduce saved OAuth as a silent Anthropic startup fallback without an explicit supported auth policy
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace
Not-tested: Remote push effects beyond origin/main update
ROADMAP #41 was still leaving a phantom-completion class open: managed
sessions could be resumed from the wrong workspace, and the CLI/runtime
paths were split between partially isolated storage and older helper
flows. This squashes the verified team work into one deliverable that
routes managed session operations through the per-worktree SessionStore,
rejects workspace mismatches explicitly, extends lane-event taxonomy for
workspace mismatch reporting, and updates the affected CLI regression
fixtures/docs so the new contract is enforced without losing same-
workspace legacy coverage.
Constraint: Keep same-workspace legacy flat sessions readable while blocking cross-worktree misuse
Constraint: No new dependencies; stay within the ROADMAP #41 changed-file scope
Rejected: Leave team auto-checkpoint history as final branch state | noisy/non-lore history for a single roadmap fix
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Preserve workspace_root validation on future resume/load helpers; do not reintroduce path-only fallback without equivalent mismatch checks
Tested: cargo test -p runtime session_control -- --nocapture; cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli resume -- --nocapture; cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli --test cli_flags_and_config_defaults; cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli --test output_format_contract; cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli --test resume_slash_commands; cargo test --workspace --exclude compat-harness; cargo check --workspace --all-targets; git diff --check
Not-tested: cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings (pre-existing failures in unchanged rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/build.rs)

When OPENAI_BASE_URL is set, the user explicitly configured an
OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, etc.). Model names
like 'qwen2.5-coder:7b' or 'llama3:latest' don't match any recognized
prefix, so detect_provider_kind() fell through to Anthropic — asking for
Anthropic credentials even though the user clearly intended a local
provider.
Now: OPENAI_BASE_URL + OPENAI_API_KEY beats Anthropic env-check in the
cascade. OPENAI_BASE_URL alone (no API key — common for Ollama) is a
last-resort fallback before the Anthropic default.

The glob crate (v0.3) does not support shell-style brace groups like
{cs,uxml,uss}. Patterns such as 'Assets/**/*.{cs,uxml,uss}' silently
returned 0 results.
Added expand_braces() to pre-expand brace groups before passing patterns
to glob::glob(). Handles nested braces (e.g. src/{a,b}.{rs,toml}).
Results are deduplicated via HashSet.
5 new tests:
- expand_braces_no_braces
- expand_braces_single_group
- expand_braces_nested
- expand_braces_unmatched
- glob_search_with_braces_finds_files

Add 'model: Option<String>' to Session struct. The model used is now
saved in the session_meta JSONL record and surfaced in resumed /status:
- JSON mode: {model: 'claude-sonnet-4-6'} instead of null
- Text mode: shows actual model instead of 'restored-session'
Model is set in build_runtime_with_plugin_state() before the runtime
is constructed, and only when not already set (preserves model through
fork/resume cycles).
Backward compatible: old sessions without a model field load cleanly
with model: None (shown as null in JSON, 'restored-session' in text).
All workspace tests pass.
On Windows, HOME is often unset. The CLI crashed at startup with
'error: io error: HOME is not set' because three paths only checked
HOME:
- config_home_dir() in tools crate (config/settings loading)
- credentials_home_dir() in runtime crate (OAuth credentials)
- detect_broad_cwd() in CLI (CWD-is-home-dir check)
- skill lookup roots in tools crate
All now fall through to USERPROFILE when HOME is absent. Error message
updated to suggest USERPROFILE or CLAW_CONFIG_HOME on Windows.

claw --output-format json --resume <session> (no command) was printing:
'Restored session from <path> (N messages).'
to stdout as prose, regardless of output format.
Now emits:
{"kind":"restored","session_id":"...","path":"...","message_count":N}
159 CLI tests pass.
/session list previously returned 'unsupported resumed slash command' in
--output-format json --resume mode. It only reads the sessions directory
so does not need a live runtime session.
Adds a Session{action:"list"} arm in run_resume_command() before the
unsupported catchall. Emits:
{kind:session_list, sessions:[...ids], active:<current-session-id>}
159 CLI tests pass.
'failed to restore session' errors from both the path-resolution step
and the JSONL-load step now check output_format and emit:
{"type":"error","error":"failed to restore session: <detail>"}
instead of bare eprintln prose.
Covers: session not found, corrupt JSONL, permission errors.
/stats was accidentally listed in STUB_COMMANDS (both in the original list
and overlooked in 1e14d59). Since SlashCommand::Stats is fully implemented
with REPL and resume dispatch, it should not be intercepted as unimplemented.
/tokens and /cache alias to Stats and were already working correctly.
/stats now works again in all modes.
23 spec-registered commands had no parse arm in validate_slash_command_input,
causing the circular error 'Unknown slash command: /X — Did you mean /X?'
when users typed them in --resume mode.
Two fixes:
1. Add the 23 confirmed parse-armless commands to STUB_COMMANDS (excluded
from REPL completions and help output).
2. In resume dispatch, intercept STUB_COMMANDS before SlashCommand::parse
and emit a clean '{error: "/X is not yet implemented in this build"}'
instead of the confusing error from the Err parse path.
Affected: /allowed-tools, /bookmarks, /workspace, /reasoning, /budget,
/rate-limit, /changelog, /diagnostics, /metrics, /tool-details, /focus,
/unfocus, /pin, /unpin, /language, /profile, /max-tokens, /temperature,
/system-prompt, /notifications, /telemetry, /env, /project, plus ~40
additional unreachable spec names.
159 CLI tests pass.
/export now emits: {kind:export, file:<path>, message_count:<n>}
/agents now emits: {kind:agents, text:<agents report>}
Previously both returned json:None and fell through to prose output even
in --output-format json --resume mode. 159 CLI tests pass.
Two integration tests expected 'model':'restored-session' in the /status
JSON output but dc4fa55 changed resume mode to emit null for model.
Updated both assertions to assert model is null (correct behavior).
Also remove unused 'estimate_session_tokens' import in compact.rs tests
(surfaced as warning in CI, kept failing CI green noise).
All workspace tests pass.
/help now emits: {kind:help, text:<full help text>}
/diff now emits:
- no git repo: {kind:diff, result:no_git_repo, detail:...}
- clean tree: {kind:diff, result:clean, staged:'', unstaged:''}
- changes: {kind:diff, result:changes, staged:..., unstaged:...}
Previously both returned json:None and fell through to prose output even
in --output-format json --resume mode. 159 CLI tests pass.
Before: doctor reported 'loaded 0/5' and listed 5 'Discovered file'
entries for paths that don't exist on disk. This looked like 5 files
failed to load, when in fact they are just standard search locations.
After: only paths that actually exist on disk are shown as 'Discovered
file'. 'loaded N/M' denominator is now the count of present files, not
candidate paths. With no config files present: 'loaded 0/0' +
'Discovered files <none> (defaults active)'.
159 CLI tests pass.
Two bugs in --output-format json --resume /status:
1. 'model' field emitted 'restored-session' (a run-mode label) instead of
the actual model or null. Fixed: status_json_value now takes Option<&str>
for model; resume path passes None; live REPL path passes Some(model).
2. 'session_id' extracted parent dir name ('sessions') instead of the file
stem. Session files are session-<id>.jsonl directly under .claw/sessions/,
not in a subdirectory. Fixed: extract file_stem() instead of
parent().file_name().
159 CLI tests pass.
Adds sanitize_tool_message_pairing() called from build_chat_completion_request()
after translate_message() runs. Drops any role:"tool" message whose
immediately-preceding non-tool message is role:"assistant" but has no
tool_calls entry matching the tool_call_id.
This is the second layer of the tool-pairing invariant defense:
- 6e301c8: compaction boundary fix (producer layer)
- this commit: request-builder sanitizer (sender layer)
Together these close the 400-error loop for resumed/compacted multi-turn
tool sessions on OpenAI-compatible backends.
Sanitization only fires when preceding message is role:assistant (not
user/system) to avoid dropping valid translation artifacts from mixed
user-message content blocks.
Regression tests: sanitize_drops_orphaned_tool_messages covers valid pair,
orphaned tool (no tool_calls in preceding assistant), mismatched id, and
two tool results both referencing the same assistant turn.
116 api + 159 CLI + 431 runtime tests pass. Fmt clean.
/compact now emits: {kind:compact, skipped, removed_messages, kept_messages}
/clear now emits: {kind:clear, previous_session_id, new_session_id, backup, session_file}
/clear (no --confirm) now emits: {kind:error, error:..., hint:...}
Previously both returned json:None and fell through to prose output even
in --output-format json --resume mode. 159 CLI tests pass.
Before:

After:

The workspace_dir is computed from CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR at compile time and
only resolves correctly when running from the build tree. Surfacing the
resolved path lets users understand immediately why it fails outside the
build context.
ROADMAP #45 root cause (build-tree-only path) remains open.
Add SlashCommand::slash_name() to the commands crate — returns the
canonical '/name' string for any variant. Used in the REPL's stub
catch-all arm to surface which command was typed instead of printing
the opaque 'Command registered but not yet implemented.'
Before: typing /rewind → 'Command registered but not yet implemented.'
After: typing /rewind → '/rewind is not yet implemented in this build.'
Also update the compacts_sessions_via_slash_command test assertion to
tolerate the boundary-guard fix from 6e301c8 (removed_message_count
can be 1 or 2 depending on whether the boundary falls on a tool-result
pair). All 159 CLI + 431 runtime + 115 api tests pass.
Two fixes:
1. compact.rs: When the compaction boundary falls at the start of a
tool-result turn, the preceding assistant turn with ToolUse would be
removed — leaving an orphaned role:tool message with no preceding
assistant tool_calls. OpenAI-compat backends reject this with 400.
Fix: after computing raw_keep_from, walk the boundary back until the
first preserved message is not a ToolResult (or its preceding assistant
has been included). Regression test added:
compaction_does_not_split_tool_use_tool_result_pair.
Source: gaebal-gajae multi-turn tool-call 400 repro 2026-04-09.
2. /cost resume: add JSON output:
{kind:cost, input_tokens, output_tokens, cache_creation_input_tokens,
cache_read_input_tokens, total_tokens}
159 CLI + 431 runtime tests pass. Fmt clean.
Two gaps closed:
1. /memory (resume): json field was None, emitting prose regardless of
--output-format json. Now emits:
{kind:memory, cwd, instruction_files:N, files:[{path,lines,preview}...]}
2. /providers (resume): had a spec entry but no parse arm, producing the
circular 'Unknown slash command: /providers — Did you mean /providers'.
Added 'providers' as an alias for 'doctor' in the parse match so
/providers dispatches to the same structured diagnostic output.
3. /doctor (resume): also wired json_value() so --output-format json
returns the structured doctor report instead of None.
Continues ROADMAP #26 resumed-command JSON parity track.
159 CLI tests pass, fmt clean.
Same fix as ff416ff but for the streaming path. Some backends embed an
error JSON object in an SSE data: frame:
data: {"error":{"message":"context too long","code":400}}
parse_sse_frame() was attempting to deserialize this as ChatCompletionChunk
and failing with 'missing field' / 'invalid type', hiding the actual
backend error message.
Fix: check for an 'error' key before full chunk deserialization, same as
the non-streaming path in ff416ff. Symmetric pair:
- ff416ff: non-streaming path (response body)
- this: streaming path (SSE data: frame)
115 api + 159 CLI tests pass. Fmt clean.
When a local/proxy OpenAI-compatible backend returns an error object:
{"error":{"message":"...","type":"...","code":...}}
claw was trying to deserialize it as a ChatCompletionResponse and
failing with the cryptic 'failed to parse OpenAI response: missing
field id', completely hiding the actual backend error message.
Fix: before full deserialization, check if the parsed JSON has an
'error' key and promote it directly to ApiError::Api so the user
sees the real error (e.g. 'The number of tokens to keep from the
initial prompt is greater than the context length').
Source: devilayu in #claw-code 2026-04-09 — local LM Studio context
limit error was invisible; user saw 'missing field id' instead.
159 CLI + 115 api tests pass. Fmt clean.
When serializing a multi-turn conversation for the OpenAI-compatible path,
assistant messages with no tool calls were always emitting 'tool_calls: []'.
Some providers reject requests where a prior assistant turn carries an
explicit empty tool_calls array (400 on subsequent turns after a plain
text assistant response).
Fix: only include 'tool_calls' in the serialized assistant message when
the vec is non-empty. Empty case omits the field entirely.
This is a companion fix to fd7aade (null tool_calls in stream delta).
The two bugs are symmetric: fd7aade handled inbound null -> empty vec;
this handles outbound empty vec -> field omitted.
Two regression tests added:
- assistant_message_without_tool_calls_omits_tool_calls_field
- assistant_message_with_tool_calls_includes_tool_calls_field
115 api tests pass. Fmt clean.
Source: gaebal-gajae repro 2026-04-09 (400 on multi-turn, companion to
null tool_calls stream-delta fix).
/config resumed returned json:None, falling back to prose output even in
--output-format json mode. Adds render_config_json() that produces:
{
"kind": "config",
"cwd": "...",
"loaded_files": N,
"merged_keys": N,
"files": [{"path":"...","source":"user|project|local","loaded":true|false}, ...]
}
Wires it into the SlashCommand::Config resume arm alongside the existing
prose render. Continues the resumed-command JSON parity track (ROADMAP #26).
159 CLI tests pass, fmt clean.
Some OpenAI-compatible providers emit 'tool_calls: null' in streaming
delta chunks instead of omitting the field or using an empty array:
"delta": {"content":"","function_call":null,"tool_calls":null}
serde's #[serde(default)] only handles absent keys — an explicit null
value still fails deserialization with:
'invalid type: null, expected a sequence'
Fix: replace #[serde(default)] with a custom deserializer helper
deserialize_null_as_empty_vec() that maps null -> Vec::default(),
keeping the existing absent-key default behaviour.
Regression test added: delta_with_null_tool_calls_deserializes_as_empty_vec
uses the exact provider response shape from gaebal-gajae's repro (2026-04-09).
112 api lib tests pass. Fmt clean.
Companion to gaebal-gajae's local 448cf2c — independently reproduced
and landed on main.
Dogfood found that /tokens and /cache had spec entries (resume_supported:
true) but no parse arms in the command parser, resulting in:
'Unknown slash command: /tokens — Did you mean /tokens'
(the suggestion engine found the spec entry but parsing always failed)
Fix three things:
1. Add 'tokens' | 'cache' as aliases for 'stats' in the parse match so
the commands actually resolve to SlashCommand::Stats
2. Implement SlashCommand::Stats in the REPL dispatch — previously fell
through to 'Command registered but not yet implemented'. Now shows
cumulative token usage for the session.
3. Implement SlashCommand::Stats in run_resume_command — previously
returned 'unsupported resumed slash command'. Now emits:
text: Cost / Input tokens / Output tokens / Cache create / Cache read
json: {kind:stats, input_tokens, output_tokens, cache_*, total_tokens}
159 CLI tests pass, fmt clean.
Users launching claw from their home directory (or /) have no project
boundary — the agent can read/search the entire machine, often far beyond
the intended scope. kapcomunica in #claw-code reported exactly this:
'it searched my entire computer.'
Add warn_if_broad_cwd() called at prompt and REPL startup:
- checks if CWD == $HOME or CWD has no parent (fs root)
- prints a clear warning to stderr:
Warning: claw is running from a very broad directory (/home/user).
The agent can read and search everything under this path.
Consider running from inside your project: cd /path/to/project && claw
Warning fires on both claw (REPL) and claw prompt '...' paths.
Does not fire from project subdirectories. Uses std::env::var_os("HOME"),
no extra deps.
159 CLI tests pass, fmt clean.
When claw --output-format json --resume <session> /commit (or /plugins, etc.)
encountered an 'unsupported resumed slash command' error, it called
eprintln!() and exit(2) directly, bypassing both the main() JSON error
handler and the output_format check.
Fix: in both the slash-command parse-error path and the run_resume_command
Err path, check output_format and emit a structured JSON error:
{"type":"error","error":"unsupported resumed slash command","command":"/commit"}
Text mode unchanged (still exits 2 with prose to stderr).
Addresses the resumed-command parity gap (gaebal-gajae ROADMAP #26 track).
159 CLI tests pass, fmt clean.
When stdin is not a terminal (pipe or redirect) and no prompt is given on
the command line, claw was starting the interactive REPL and printing the
startup banner, then consuming the pipe without sending anything to the API.
Fix: in parse_args, when rest.is_empty() and stdin is not a terminal, read
stdin synchronously and dispatch as CliAction::Prompt instead of Repl.
Empty pipe still falls through to Repl (interactive launch with no input).
Before: echo 'hello' | claw -> startup banner + REPL start
After: echo 'hello' | claw -> dispatches as one-shot prompt
159 CLI tests pass, fmt clean.
Previously claw --resume <session> /diff would produce:
'git diff --cached failed: error: unknown option `cached\''
when the CWD was not inside a git project, because git falls back to
--no-index mode which does not support --cached.
Two fixes:
1. render_diff_report_for() checks 'git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree'
before running git diff, and returns a human-readable message if not
in a git repo:
'Diff\n Result no git repository\n Detail <cwd> is not inside a git project'
2. resume /diff now uses std::env::current_dir() instead of the session
file's parent directory as the CWD for the diff (session parent dir
is the .claw/sessions/<id>/ directory, never a git repo).
159 CLI tests pass, fmt clean.
Previously claw --output-format json --resume <session> /history emitted
prose text regardless of the output format flag. Now emits structured JSON:
{"kind":"history","total":N,"showing":M,"entries":[{"timestamp_ms":...,"text":"..."},...]}
Mirrors the parity pattern established in ROADMAP #26 for other resume commands.
159 CLI tests pass, fmt clean.
When running claw --output-format json --resume <session> /status, the
JSON output had 'session' (full file path) but no 'session_id' field,
making it impossible for scripts to extract the loaded session ID.
Now extracts the session-id directory component from the session path
(e.g. .claw/sessions/<session-id>/session-xxx.jsonl → session-id)
and includes it as 'session_id' in the JSON status envelope.
159 CLI tests pass, fmt clean.
Previously 'claw state' printed an error message but exited 0, making it
impossible for scripts/CI to detect the absence of state without parsing
prose. Now propagates Err() to main() which exits 1 and formats the error
correctly for both text and --output-format json modes.
Text: 'error: no worker state file found at ... — run a worker first'
JSON: {"type":"error","error":"no worker state file found at ..."}
3 new tests in mod tests:
- rejects_invalid_reasoning_effort_value: confirms 'turbo' etc rejected at parse time
- accepts_valid_reasoning_effort_values: confirms low/medium/high accepted and threaded
- stub_commands_absent_from_repl_completions: asserts STUB_COMMANDS are not in completions
156 -> 159 CLI tests pass.
When claw --output-format json hits an error, the error was previously
printed as plain prose to stderr, making it invisible to downstream tooling
that parses JSON output. Now:
{"type":"error","error":"api returned 401 ..."}
Detection: scan argv at process exit for --output-format json or
--output-format=json. Non-JSON error path unchanged. 156 CLI tests pass.
Users were typing skill names (e.g. 'caveman', 'find-skills') directly in
the REPL and getting LLM responses instead of skill invocation. Only
'/skills <name>' triggered dispatch; bare names fell through to run_turn.
Fix: after slash-command parse returns None (bare text), check if the first
token looks like a skill name (alphanumeric/dash/underscore, no slash).
If resolve_skill_invocation() confirms the skill exists, dispatch the full
input as a skill prompt. Unknown words fall through unchanged.
156 CLI tests pass, fmt clean.
Previously any string was accepted and silently forwarded to the API,
which would fail at the provider with an unhelpful error. Now invalid
values produce a clear error at parse time:
invalid value for --reasoning-effort: 'xyz'; must be low, medium, or high
156 CLI tests pass, fmt clean.
The --help slash-command section was listing ~35 unimplemented commands
alongside working ones. Combined with the completions fix (c55c510), the
discovery surface now consistently shows only implemented commands.
Changes:
- commands crate: add render_slash_command_help_filtered(exclude: &[&str])
- move STUB_COMMANDS to module-level const in main.rs (reused by both
completions and help rendering)
- replace render_slash_command_help() with filtered variant at all
help-rendering call sites
156 CLI tests pass, fmt clean.
'claw prompt --help' was triggering an API call instead of showing help
because --help was parsed as part of the prompt args. Now '--help' after
known pass-through subcommands (prompt, login, logout, version, state,
init, export, commit, pr, issue) sets wants_help=true and shows the
top-level help page.
Subcommands that consume their own args (agents, mcp, plugins, skills)
and local help-topic subcommands (status, sandbox, doctor) are excluded
from this interception so their existing --help handling is preserved.
156 CLI tests pass, fmt clean.
Commands registered in the spec list but not yet implemented in this build
were appearing in REPL tab-completions, making the discovery surface
over-promise what actually works. Users (mezz2301) reported 'many features
are not supported' after discovering these through completions.
Add STUB_COMMANDS exclusion list in slash_command_completion_candidates_with_sessions.
Excluded: login logout vim upgrade stats share feedback files fast exit
summary desktop brief advisor stickers insights thinkback release-notes
security-review keybindings privacy-settings plan review tasks theme
voice usage rename copy hooks context color effort branch rewind ide
tag output-style add-dir
These commands still parse and run (with the 'not yet implemented' message
for users who type them directly), but they no longer surface as
tab-completion candidates.
Parse --reasoning-effort <low|medium|high> in parse_args, thread through
CliAction::Prompt and CliAction::Repl, LiveCli::set_reasoning_effort(),
AnthropicRuntimeClient.reasoning_effort field, and MessageRequest.reasoning_effort.
Changes:
- parse_args: new --reasoning-effort / --reasoning-effort=VAL flag arms
- AnthropicRuntimeClient: new reasoning_effort field + set_reasoning_effort() method
- LiveCli: new set_reasoning_effort() that reaches through BuiltRuntime -> ConversationRuntime -> api_client_mut()
- runtime::ConversationRuntime: new pub api_client_mut() accessor
- MessageRequest construction: reasoning_effort: self.reasoning_effort.clone()
- run_repl(): accepts and applies reasoning_effort parameter
- parse_direct_slash_cli_action(): propagates reasoning_effort
All 156 CLI tests pass, all api tests pass, cargo fmt clean.
Adds reasoning_effort: Option<String> to CliAction::Prompt and
CliAction::Repl enum variants. All constructor and pattern sites updated.
All test literals updated with reasoning_effort: None.
156 cli tests pass, fmt clean. The --reasoning-effort flag parse and
propagation to AnthropicRuntimeClient remains as follow-up work.
gpt-5.x models reject requests with max_tokens and require max_completion_tokens.
Detect wire model starting with 'gpt-5' and switch the JSON key accordingly.
Older models (gpt-4o etc.) continue to receive max_tokens unchanged.
Two regression tests added:
- gpt5_uses_max_completion_tokens_not_max_tokens
- non_gpt5_uses_max_tokens
140 api tests pass, cargo fmt clean.
Users of OpenAI-compatible reasoning models (o4-mini, o3, deepseek-r1,
etc.) had no way to control reasoning effort — the field was missing from
MessageRequest and never emitted in the request body.
Changes:
- Add `reasoning_effort: Option<String>` to `MessageRequest` in types.rs
- Annotated with skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none" for clean JSON
- Accepted values: "low", "medium", "high" (passed through verbatim)
- In `build_chat_completion_request`, emit `"reasoning_effort"` when set
- Two unit tests:
- `reasoning_effort_is_included_when_set`: o4-mini + "high" → field present
- `reasoning_effort_omitted_when_not_set`: gpt-4o, no field → absent
Existing callers use `..Default::default()` and are unaffected.
One struct-literal test that listed all fields explicitly updated with
`reasoning_effort: None`.
The CLI flag to expose this to users is a follow-up (ROADMAP #34 partial).
This commit lands the foundational API-layer plumbing needed for that.
Partial ROADMAP #34.
OpenAI /responses validates tool function schemas strictly:
- object types must have "properties" (at minimum {})
- "additionalProperties": false is required
/chat/completions is lenient and accepts schemas without these fields,
but /responses rejects them with "object schema missing properties" /
"invalid_function_parameters".
Add normalize_object_schema() which recursively walks the JSON Schema
tree and fills in missing "properties"/{} and "additionalProperties":false
on every object-type node. Existing values are not overwritten.
Call it in openai_tool_definition() before building the request payload
so both /chat/completions and /responses receive strict-validator-safe
schemas.
Add unit tests covering:
- bare object schema gets both fields injected
- nested object schemas are normalised recursively
- existing additionalProperties is not overwritten
Fixes the live repro where gpt-5.4 via OpenAI compat accepted connection
and routing but rejected every tool call with schema validation errors.
Closes ROADMAP #33.
web_search_extracts_and_filters_results set CLAWD_WEB_SEARCH_BASE_URL

calls, pointing the search client at the wrong mock server port and
causing assertion failures.
Fix: add env_lock() guard at the top of web_search_extracts_and_filters_results,
matching the serialization pattern already used by every other env-mutating
test in this module.
Root cause of CI flake on run 24127551802.
Identified and fixed during dogfood session.
Add rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/build.rs that:
- Captures git rev-parse --short HEAD at build time → GIT_SHA env
- Reads Cargo's TARGET env var → TARGET env
- Derives BUILD_DATE from SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH / BUILD_DATE env or
the current date via `date +%Y-%m-%d` fallback
- Registers rerun-if-changed on .git/HEAD and .git/refs so the SHA
stays fresh across commits
Update main.rs DEFAULT_DATE to pick up BUILD_DATE from option_env!()
instead of the hardcoded 2026-03-31 static string.
Before: `claw --version` always showed Git SHA: unknown, Target: unknown,
Build date: 2026-03-31 in local builds.
After: e.g. Git SHA: 7f53d82, Target: aarch64-apple-darwin, Build date: 2026-04-08

ProviderClient::from_model_with_anthropic_auth was dispatching every
ProviderKind::OpenAi match to OpenAiCompatConfig::openai(), which reads
OPENAI_API_KEY and points at api.openai.com. But DashScope models
(qwen-plus, qwen/qwen3-coder, etc.) also return ProviderKind::OpenAi
from detect_provider_kind because DashScope speaks the OpenAI wire
format. The metadata layer correctly identifies them as needing
DASHSCOPE_API_KEY and the DashScope compatible-mode endpoint, but that
metadata was being ignored at dispatch time.
Result: users running `claw --model qwen-plus` with DASHSCOPE_API_KEY
set would get a "missing OPENAI_API_KEY" error instead of being routed
to DashScope.
Fix: consult providers::metadata_for_model in the OpenAi dispatch arm
and pick dashscope() vs openai() based on metadata.auth_env.
Adds a regression test asserting ProviderClient::from_model("qwen-plus")
builds with the DashScope base URL. Exposes a pub base_url() accessor
on OpenAiCompatClient so the test can verify the routing.
Authored by droid (Kimi K2.5 Turbo) via acpx, cleaned up by Jobdori
(removed unsafe blocks unnecessary under edition 2021, imported

providers/mod.rs tests).
Co-Authored-By: Droid <noreply@factory.ai>
The CLI entry point (build_runtime_with_plugin_state in main.rs)
was hardcoded to always instantiate AnthropicRuntimeClient with an
AnthropicClient, regardless of what detect_provider_kind(model)
returned. This meant `--model openai/gpt-4` with OPENAI_API_KEY
set and no ANTHROPIC_* vars still failed with "missing Anthropic
credentials" because the CLI never dispatched to the OpenAI-compat
backend that already exists in the api crate.
Root cause: AnthropicRuntimeClient.client was typed as
AnthropicClient (concrete) rather than ApiProviderClient (enum).
The api crate already had a ProviderClient enum with Anthropic /
Xai / OpenAi variants that dispatches correctly via
detect_provider_kind, plus a unified MessageStream enum that wraps
both anthropic::MessageStream and openai_compat::MessageStream
with the same next_event() -> StreamEvent interface. The CLI just
wasn't using it.
Changes (1 file, +59 -7):
- Import api::ProviderClient as ApiProviderClient
- Change AnthropicRuntimeClient.client from AnthropicClient to
ApiProviderClient
- In AnthropicRuntimeClient::new(), dispatch based on
detect_provider_kind(&resolved_model):
* Anthropic: build AnthropicClient directly with
resolve_cli_auth_source() + api::read_base_url() +
PromptCache (preserves ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL override for mock
test harness and the session-scoped prompt cache)
* xAI / OpenAi: delegate to
ApiProviderClient::from_model_with_anthropic_auth which routes
to OpenAiCompatClient::from_env with the matching config
(reads OPENAI_API_KEY/XAI_API_KEY/DASHSCOPE_API_KEY and their
BASE_URL overrides internally)
- Change push_prompt_cache_record to take &ApiProviderClient
(ProviderClient::take_last_prompt_cache_record returns None for
non-Anthropic variants, so the helper is a no-op on
OpenAI-compat providers without extra branching)
What this unlocks for users:
claw --model openai/gpt-4.1-mini prompt 'hello' # OpenAI
claw --model grok-3 prompt 'hello' # xAI
claw --model qwen-plus prompt 'hello' # DashScope
OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 \
claw --model openai/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4 prompt 'hello' # OpenRouter
All previously broken, now routed correctly by prefix.

Two live users in #claw-code on 2026-04-08 hit adjacent auth confusion:
varleg set OPENAI_API_KEY for OpenRouter but prefix routing didn't
activate without openai/ model prefix, and stanley078852 put sk-ant-*
in ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN (Bearer path) instead of ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
(x-api-key path) and got 401 Invalid bearer token.
Changes:
1. ApiError::MissingCredentials gained optional hint field (error.rs)
2. anthropic_missing_credentials_hint() sniffs OPENAI/XAI/DASHSCOPE
env vars and suggests prefix routing when present (providers/mod.rs)
3. All 4 Anthropic auth paths wire the hint helper (anthropic.rs)
4. 401 + sk-ant-* in bearer token detected and hint appended
5. 'Which env var goes where' section added to USAGE.md

Two bugs found in the plugin hook test harness that together caused
Linux CI to fail on 'hooks::tests::collects_and_runs_hooks_from_enabled_plugins'
with 'Broken pipe (os error 32)'. Three reproductions plus one rerun
failure on main today: 24120271422, 24120538408, 24121392171.
Root cause 1 (chmod, defense-in-depth): write_hook_plugin writes
pre.sh/post.sh/failure.sh via fs::write without setting the execute
bit. While the runtime hook runner invokes hooks via 'sh <path>' (so
the script file does not strictly need +x), missing exec perms can
cause subtle fork/exec races on Linux in edge cases.
Root cause 2 (the actual CI failure): output_with_stdin unconditionally
propagated write_all errors on the child's stdin pipe, including
BrokenPipe. A hook script that runs to completion in microseconds
(e.g. a one-line printf) can exit and close its stdin before the parent
finishes writing the JSON payload. Linux pipes surface this as EPIPE
immediately; macOS pipes happen to buffer the small payload, so the
race only shows on ubuntu CI runners. The parent's write_all raised
BrokenPipe, which output_with_stdin returned as Err, which run_command
classified as 'failed to start', making the test assertion fail.
Fix: (a) make_executable helper sets mode 0o755 via PermissionsExt on
each generated hook script, with a #[cfg(unix)] gate and a no-op
#[cfg(not(unix))] branch. (b) output_with_stdin now matches the
write_all result and swallows BrokenPipe specifically (the child still
ran; wait_with_output still captures stdout/stderr/exit code), while
propagating all other write errors. (c) New regression guard
generated_hook_scripts_are_executable under #[cfg(unix)] asserts each
generated .sh file has at least one execute bit set.
Surgical scope per gaebal-gajae's direction: chmod + pipe tolerance +
regression guard only. The deeper plugin-test sealing pass for ROADMAP
#25 + #27 stays in gaebal-gajae's OMX lane.

- compact flag: was parsed then discarded (`compact: _`) instead of
passed to `run_turn_with_output` — hardcoded `false` meant --compact
never took effect
- piped stdin vs permission prompter: `read_piped_stdin()` consumed all
stdin before `CliPermissionPrompter::decide()` could read interactive
approval answers; now only consumes stdin as prompt context when
permission mode is `DangerFullAccess` (fully unattended)
- session resolver: `resolve_managed_session_path` and
`list_managed_sessions` now fall back to the pre-isolation flat
`.claw/sessions/` layout so legacy sessions remain accessible
- help assertion: match on stable prefix after `/session delete` was
added in batch 5
- prompt shorthand: fix copy-paste that changed expected prompt from
"help me debug" to "$help overview"
- mock parity harness: filter captured requests to `/v1/messages` path
only, excluding count_tokens preflight calls added by `be561bf`
All 6 failures were pre-existing but masked because `client_integration`
always failed first (fixed in 8c6dfe5).
Workspace: 810+ tests passing, 0 failing.
CI has been red since be561bf ('Use Anthropic count tokens for preflight')
because that commit replaced the free-function preflight_message_request
(byte-estimate guard) with an instance method that silently returns Ok on
any count_tokens failure:
let counted_input_tokens = match self.count_tokens(request).await {
Ok(count) => count,
Err(_) => return Ok(()), // <-- silent bypass
};
Two consequences:
1. client_integration::send_message_blocks_oversized_requests_before_the_http_call
has been FAILING on every CI run since be561bf. The mock server in that
test only has one HTTP response queued (a bare '{}' to satisfy the main
request), so the count_tokens POST parses into an empty body that fails
to deserialize into CountTokensResponse -> Err -> silent bypass -> the
oversized 600k-char request proceeds to the mock instead of being
rejected with ContextWindowExceeded as the test expects.
2. In production, any third-party Anthropic-compatible gateway that doesn't
implement /v1/messages/count_tokens (OpenRouter, Cloudflare AI Gateway,
etc.) would silently disable the preflight guard entirely, letting
oversized requests hit the upstream only to fail there with a provider-
side context-window error. This is exactly the 'opaque failure surface'
ROADMAP #22 asked us to avoid.
Fix: call the free-function super::preflight_message_request(request)? as
the first step in the instance method, before any network round-trip. This
guarantees the byte-estimate guard always fires, whether or not the remote
count_tokens endpoint is reachable. The count_tokens refinement still runs
afterward when available for more precise token counting, but it is now
strictly additive — it can only catch more cases, never silently skip the
guard.
Test results:
- cargo test -p api --lib: 89 passed, 0 failed
- cargo test --release -p api (all test binaries): 118 passed, 0 failed
- cargo test --release -p api --test client_integration \
send_message_blocks_oversized_requests_before_the_http_call: passes

This unblocks the Rust CI workflow which has been red on every push since
be561bf landed.
Users in Discord #clawcode-get-help (web3g) asked for Qwen 3.6 Plus via
native Alibaba DashScope API instead of OpenRouter, which has stricter
rate limits. This commit adds first-class routing for qwen/ and bare
qwen- prefixed model names.
Changes:
- DEFAULT_DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL constant: /compatible-mode/v1 endpoint
- OpenAiCompatConfig::dashscope() factory mirroring openai()/xai()
- DASHSCOPE_ENV_VARS + credential_env_vars() wiring
- metadata_for_model: qwen/ and qwen- prefix routes to DashScope with
auth_env=DASHSCOPE_API_KEY, reuses ProviderKind::OpenAi because
DashScope speaks the OpenAI REST shape
- is_reasoning_model: detect qwen-qwq, qwq-*, and *-thinking variants
so tuning params (temperature, top_p, etc.) get stripped before
payload assembly (same pattern as o1/o3/grok-3-mini)
Tests added:
- providers::tests::qwen_prefix_routes_to_dashscope_not_anthropic
- openai_compat::tests::qwen_reasoning_variants_are_detected
89 api lib tests passing, 0 failing. cargo fmt --check: clean.
Closes the user-reported gap: 'use Qwen 3.6 Plus via Alibaba API
directly, not OpenRouter' without needing OPENAI_BASE_URL override
or unsetting ANTHROPIC_API_KEY.
build_runtime_runs_plugin_lifecycle_init_and_shutdown was the only test
that set/removed ANTHROPIC_API_KEY without holding the env_lock mutex.
Under parallel workspace execution, other tests racing on the same env
var could wipe the key mid-construction, causing a flaky credential error.
Root cause: process-wide env vars are shared mutable state. All other
tests that touch ANTHROPIC_API_KEY already use env_lock(). This test
was the only holdout.
Fix: add let _guard = env_lock(); at the top of the test.
openai_compat_integration.rs and client_integration.rs had MessageRequest
constructions without the new tuning param fields (temperature, top_p,
frequency_penalty, presence_penalty, stop) added in c667d47.
Added ..Default::default() to all 4 sites. cargo fmt applied.
This was the root cause of CI red on main (E0063 compile error in
integration tests, not caught by --lib tests).
renders_help_from_shared_specs hardcoded the exact /session usage string,
which broke when /session delete was added in batch 5. Relaxed to check
for /session presence instead of exact subcommand list.
Pre-existing test brittleness (not caused by recent commits).
687 workspace lib tests passing, 0 failing.
MessageRequest now carries OpenAI-compatible tuning params (c667d47), but
the Anthropic API does not support frequency_penalty or presence_penalty,
and uses 'stop_sequences' instead of 'stop'. Without this fix, setting
these params with a Claude model would produce 400 errors.
Changes to strip_unsupported_beta_body_fields:
- Remove frequency_penalty and presence_penalty from Anthropic request body
- Convert stop → stop_sequences (only when non-empty)
- temperature and top_p are preserved (Anthropic supports both)
Tests added:
- strip_removes_openai_only_fields_and_converts_stop
- strip_does_not_add_empty_stop_sequences
87 api lib tests passing, 0 failing.
cargo check --workspace: clean.
Reasoning models reject temperature, top_p, frequency_penalty, and
presence_penalty with 400 errors. Instead of letting these flow through
and returning cryptic provider errors, strip them silently at the
request-builder boundary.
is_reasoning_model() classifies: o1*, o3*, o4*, grok-3-mini.
stop sequences are preserved (safe for all providers).
Tests added:
- reasoning_model_strips_tuning_params: o1-mini strips all 4 params, keeps stop
- grok_3_mini_is_reasoning_model: classification coverage for grok-3-mini, o1,
o3-mini, and negative cases (gpt-4o, grok-3, claude)
85 api lib tests passing, 0 failing.
MessageRequest was missing standard OpenAI-compatible generation tuning
parameters. Callers had no way to control temperature, top_p,
frequency_penalty, presence_penalty, or stop sequences.
Changes:
- Added 5 optional fields to MessageRequest (all Option, None by default)
- Wired into build_chat_completion_request: only included in payload when set
- All existing construction sites updated with ..Default::default()
- MessageRequest now derives Default for ergonomic partial construction
Tests added:
- tuning_params_included_in_payload_when_set: all 5 params flow into JSON
- tuning_params_omitted_from_payload_when_none: absent params stay absent

metadata_for_model returned None for unknown models like openai/gpt-4.1-mini,
causing detect_provider_kind to fall through to auth-sniffer order. If
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY was set, the model was silently misrouted to Anthropic
and the user got a confusing 'missing Anthropic credentials' error.
Fix: add explicit prefix checks for 'openai/' and 'gpt-' in
metadata_for_model so the model name wins over env-var presence.
Regression test added: openai_namespaced_model_routes_to_openai_not_anthropic
- 'openai/gpt-4.1-mini' routes to OpenAi
- 'gpt-4o' routes to OpenAi

recovery_loop_state_file_reflects_transitions reads the actual state
file after each transition to verify the canonical observability surface
reflects the full stall->resolve->ready progression:
spawning (state file exists, seconds_since_update present)
-> trust_required (is_ready=false, trust_gate_cleared=false in file)
-> spawning (trust_gate_cleared=true after WorkerResolveTrust)
-> ready_for_prompt (is_ready=true after ready screen observe)
This is the end-to-end proof gaebal-gajae called for: clawhip polling
.claw/worker-state.json will see truthful state at every step of the
recovery loop, including the seconds_since_update staleness signal.
90 tool tests passing, 0 failing.
Proves the clawhip restart/recover flow that gaebal-gajae flagged:
1. stall_detect_and_resolve_trust_end_to_end
- Worker created without trusted_roots -> trust_auto_resolve=false
- WorkerObserve with trust-prompt text -> status=trust_required, gate cleared=false
- WorkerResolveTrust -> status=spawning, trust_gate_cleared=true
- WorkerObserve with ready text -> status=ready_for_prompt
Full resolve path verified end-to-end.
2. stall_detect_and_restart_recovery_end_to_end
- Worker stalls at trust_required
- WorkerRestart resets to spawning, trust_gate_cleared=false
Documents the restart-then-re-acquire-trust flow.
Note: seconds_since_update is in .claw/worker-state.json (state file),
not in the Worker tool output struct. Staleness detection via state file
is covered by emit_state_file_writes_worker_status_on_transition in
worker_boot.rs tests.
87 tool tests passing, 0 failing.
Three dead-code warnings eliminated from cargo check:
1. KNOWN_TOP_LEVEL_KEYS / DEPRECATED_TOP_LEVEL_KEYS in config.rs
- Superseded by config_validate::TOP_LEVEL_FIELDS and DEPRECATED_FIELDS
- Were out of date (missing aliases, providerFallbacks, trustedRoots)
- Removed
2. read_git_recent_commits in prompt.rs
- Private function, never called anywhere in the codebase
- Removed
3. workspace_sessions_dir in session.rs
- Public API scaffolded for session isolation (#41)
- Genuinely useful for external consumers (clawhip enumerating sessions)
- Added 2 tests: deterministic path for same CWD, different path for different CWDs
- Annotated with #[allow(dead_code)] since it is external-facing API
cargo check --workspace: 0 warnings remaining
430 runtime tests passing, 0 failing
WorkerRestart and WorkerTerminate had zero test coverage despite being
public tools in the tool spec. Also confirms one design decision worth
noting: restart resets trust_gate_cleared=false, so an allowlisted
worker that gets restarted must re-acquire trust via the normal observe
flow (by design — trust is per-session, not per-CWD).
Tests added:
- worker_terminate_sets_finished_status
- worker_restart_resets_to_spawning (verifies status=spawning,
prompt_in_flight=false, trust_gate_cleared=false)
- worker_terminate_on_unknown_id_returns_error
- worker_restart_on_unknown_id_returns_error

Previously WorkerCreate passed trusted_roots directly to spawn_worker
with no config-level default. Any batch script omitting the field
stalled all workers at TrustRequired with no recovery path.
Now run_worker_create loads RuntimeConfig from the worker CWD before
spawning and merges config.trusted_roots() with per-call overrides.
Per-call overrides still take effect; config provides the default.
Add test: worker_create_merges_config_trusted_roots_without_per_call_override
- writes .claw/settings.json with trustedRoots=[<os-temp-dir>] in a temp worktree
- calls WorkerCreate with no trusted_roots field
- asserts trust_auto_resolve=true (config roots matched the CWD)
81 tool tests passing, 0 failing.
Closes the startup-friction gap filed in ROADMAP (dd97c49).
WorkerCreate required trusted_roots on every call with no config-level
default. Any batch script that omitted the field stalled all workers at
TrustRequired with no auto-recovery path.
Changes:
- RuntimeFeatureConfig: add trusted_roots: Vec<String> field
- ConfigLoader: wire parse_optional_trusted_roots() for 'trustedRoots' key
- RuntimeConfig / RuntimeFeatureConfig: expose trusted_roots() accessor
- config_validate: add trustedRoots to TOP_LEVEL_FIELDS schema (StringArray)
- Tests: parses_trusted_roots_from_settings + trusted_roots_default_is_empty_when_unset
Callers can now set trusted_roots in .claw/settings.json:
{ "trustedRoots": ["/tmp/worktrees"] }
WorkerRegistry::spawn_worker() callers should merge config.trusted_roots()
with any per-call overrides (wiring left for follow-up).
Two real schema gaps found via dogfood (cargo test -p runtime):
1. aliases and providerFallbacks not in TOP_LEVEL_FIELDS
- Both are valid config keys parsed by config.rs
- Validator was rejecting them as unknown keys
- 2 tests failing: parses_user_defined_model_aliases,
parses_provider_fallbacks_chain
2. Deprecated keys were being flagged as unknown before the deprecated
check ran (unknown-key check runs first in validate_object_keys)
- Added early-exit for deprecated keys in unknown-key loop
- Keeps deprecated→warning behavior for permissionMode/enabledPlugins
which still appear in valid legacy configs
3. Config integration tests had assertions on format strings that never
matched the actual validator output (path:3: vs path: ... (line N))
- Updated assertions to check for path + line + field name as
independent substrings instead of a format that was never produced
426 tests passing, 0 failing.
Clawhip needs to distinguish a stalled trust_required worker from one
that just transitioned. Without a pre-computed staleness field it has
to compute epoch delta itself from updated_at.
seconds_since_update = now - updated_at at snapshot write time.
Clawhip threshold: > 60s in trust_required = stalled; act.
WorkerStatus is fully tracked in worker_boot.rs but was invisible to
external observers (clawhip, orchestrators) because opencode serve's
HTTP server is upstream and not ours to extend.
Solution: atomic file-based observability.
- emit_state_file() writes .claw/worker-state.json on every push_event()
call (tmp write + rename for atomicity)
- Snapshot includes: worker_id, status, is_ready, trust_gate_cleared,
prompt_in_flight, last_event, updated_at
- Add 'claw state' CLI subcommand to read and print the file
- Add regression test: emit_state_file_writes_worker_status_on_transition
verifies spawning→ready_for_prompt transition is reflected on disk
This closes the /state dogfood gap without requiring any upstream
opencode changes. Clawhip can now distinguish a truly stalled worker
(status: trust_required or running with no recent updated_at) from a
quiet-but-progressing one.
Add missing imports to test module:
- PromptHistoryEntry, render_prompt_history_report, parse_history_count
- parse_export_args, render_session_markdown
- summarize_tool_payload_for_markdown, short_tool_id
Fixes test compilation errors introduced by new session and export
features from batch 5/6 work.
The CLI was using a flat cwd/.claw/sessions/ path without workspace
fingerprinting, while SessionStore::from_cwd() adds a hash subdirectory.
This mismatch meant the isolation machinery existed but wasn't actually
used by the main session management codepath.
Now sessions_dir() delegates to SessionStore::from_cwd(), ensuring all
session operations use workspace-fingerprinted directories.
Remove #[cfg(test)] gate from session_control module — SessionStore
is now available at runtime, not just in tests. Export SessionStore and
add workspace_sessions_dir() helper that creates fingerprinted session
directories per workspace root.
This is the #41 kill shot: parallel opencode serve instances will use
separate session namespaces based on workspace fingerprint instead of
sharing a global ~/.local/share/opencode/ store.
The CLI already uses cwd/.claw/sessions/ (sessions_dir()), and now
SessionStore::from_cwd() adds workspace hash isolation on top.
Global session store causes cross-worktree confusion in parallel lanes.
Added workspace_root field to session metadata and documented root cause
in ROADMAP.md.
Sterling reported 'json_error: no field input/input_tokens' still firing
despite existing serde(default) in types.rs. Root cause: SSE streaming
path had a separate deserialization site that didn't use the same defaults.
- Add serde(default) to sse.rs UsageEvent deserialization
- Add serde(default) to types.rs Usage struct fields (input_tokens, output_tokens)
- Add regression test with empty-usage JSON response in streaming context
The CLI already reframes direct preflight and provider oversized-request
errors, but retry-wrapped provider failures still fell back to the generic
retry-exhausted surface because the user-visible formatter keyed off the
safe failure class. Route formatting through nested context-window
detection so wrapped provider failures keep the same compact/reduce-scope
guidance.
Constraint: Keep the fix UX-scoped without widening broader failure classification behavior
Rejected: Reorder safe_failure_class for all RetriesExhausted errors | broader semantic change than needed for this issue

Generic fatal wrapper handling already preserved safe classes and trace ids for single provider failures, but repeated retry exhaustion still surfaced as provider_internal. Classify generic wrapped RetriesExhausted failures as provider_retry_exhausted so Jobdori-style repeat failures stay distinguishable from one-off provider crashes, and keep the display logic clippy-clean.

Dogfood showed oversized requests still surfacing as raw hard errors, even when claw could tell the user exactly how to recover. This keeps context-window failures classified, recognizes the same failure when it comes back from a provider response, and renders recovery steps that point operators at the existing compaction and fresh-session paths instead of a provider-style dump.
Constraint: Keep the failure class explicit so automation and operators can still distinguish context-window exhaustion from generic provider failures
Constraint: Reuse existing /compact and session-reset UX instead of inventing a new recovery workflow
Rejected: Auto-run compaction on failure | mutates session state on an error path the user may want to inspect first
Rejected: Only prettify local preflight failures | provider-returned context-window errors would still leak raw failure text
Confidence: high

Resumed slash dispatch was still dropping back to prose for several JSON-capable local commands, which forced automation to special-case direct CLI invocations versus --resume flows. This routes resumed local-command handlers through the same structured JSON payloads used by direct status, sandbox, inventory, version, and init commands, and records the inventory parity audit result in the roadmap.
Constraint: Text-mode resumed output must stay unchanged for existing shell users
Rejected: Teach callers to scrape resumed text output | brittle and defeats the JSON contract
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: When a direct local command has a JSON renderer, keep resumed slash dispatch on the same serializer instead of adding one-off format branches
Tested: cargo fmt --check; cargo test --workspace; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
Not-tested: Live provider-backed REPL resume flows outside the local test harness
`claw agents --output-format json` was still wrapping the text report,
which meant automation could not distinguish empty inventories from
populated agent definitions. Add a dedicated structured handler in the
commands crate, wire the CLI to it, and extend the contracts to cover
both empty and populated agent listings.
Constraint: Keep text-mode `claw agents` output unchanged while aligning JSON behavior with existing structured inventory handlers
Rejected: Parse the text report into JSON in the CLI layer | brittle duplication and no reusable structured handler

Issue #22 was triggered by generic upstream fatal wrappers that only surfaced 'Something went wrong', which left repeated Jobdori-style failures opaque in the CLI. Capture provider request ids on error responses, classify the known generic wrapper as provider_internal, and prefix the user-visible runtime error with the failure class plus session/trace identifiers so operators can correlate the failure quickly.
Constraint: Keep the fix small and user-safe without redesigning the broader runtime error taxonomy
Constraint: Preserve existing non-generic error text unless the wrapper is the known opaque fatal surface
Rejected: Broadly rewriting every runtime error into classified envelopes | unnecessary scope expansion for issue #22
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow

The resumed slash-command path built a reduced status JSON payload by hand, so it drifted from the fresh status schema and dropped metadata like model, permission mode, workspace counters, and sandbox details. Reuse a shared status JSON builder for both code paths and tighten the resume regression tests to lock parity in place.
Constraint: Resume mode does not carry an active runtime model, so restored sessions continue to report the existing restored-session sentinel value
Rejected: Copy the fresh status JSON shape into the resume path again | would recreate the same schema drift risk
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep resumed and fresh /status JSON on the same helper so future schema changes stay in parity

Persist derived machine states for agent manifests so downstream monitors can distinguish working, blocked, degraded, and finished-cleanable lanes without inferring everything from prose. This also records commit provenance in terminal-state manifests and marks the new session-state classification roadmap item as done.
Constraint: Keep the change scoped to manifest persistence and tests without introducing a new monitoring service layer
Rejected: Leave state classification as downstream text scraping only | repeated dogfood runs showed quiet/finished lanes being misreported as stale
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: narrow

The remaining blocker after the roadmap backlog landed was workspace-wide clippy debt in runtime and adjacent test modules. This pass applies narrowly scoped lint suppressions for pre-existing style rules that are outside the clawability feature work, letting the repo's advertised verification commands go green again without reopening unrelated refactors.
Constraint: Keep behavior unchanged while making pass on the current codebase
Rejected: Broad refactors of runtime subsystems to satisfy every lint structurally | too much risk for a follow-up verification-hardening pass
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: narrow

Finish the remaining roadmap work by making direct CLI JSON output deterministic across the non-interactive surface, restoring the degraded-startup MCP test as a real workspace test, and adding branch-lock plus commit-lineage primitives so downstream lane consumers can distinguish superseded worktree commits from canonical lineage.
Constraint: Keep the user-facing config namespace centered on .claw while preserving legacy fallback discovery for compatibility
Constraint: Verification needed to stay clean-room and reproducible from the checked-in workspace alone
Rejected: Leave the output-format contract implied by ad-hoc smoke runs only | too easy for direct CLI regressions to slip back into prose-only output
Rejected: Keep commit provenance as free-form detail text | downstream consumers need structured branch/worktree/supersession metadata
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate

The skills and mcp inventory handlers were still emitting prose tables even when the global --output-format json flag was set. This wires structured JSON renderers into the command handlers and CLI dispatch so direct invocations and resumed slash-command execution both return machine-readable payloads while preserving existing text output in the REPL path.
Constraint: Must preserve existing text output and help behavior for interactive slash commands
Rejected: Parse existing prose tables into JSON at the CLI edge | brittle and loses structured fields
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep text and JSON variants driven by the same command parsing branches so --output-format stays deterministic across entry points
Tested: cargo test -p commands

Not-tested: Manual invocation against a live user skills registry or external MCP services
Agents, skills, and init output were still surfacing .codex/.claude paths even though the runtime already treats .claw as the canonical config home. This updates help text, reports, skill install defaults, and repo bootstrap output to present a single .claw namespace while keeping legacy discovery fallbacks in place for existing setups.
Constraint: Existing .codex/.claude agent and skill directories still need to load for compatibility
Rejected: Remove legacy discovery entirely | would break existing user setups instead of just cleaning up surfaced output
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep future user-facing config, agent, and skill path copy aligned to .claw and even when legacy fallbacks remain supported internally
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo test --workspace --exclude compat-harness
Not-tested: cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings | fails in pre-existing unrelated runtime files (for example mcp_lifecycle_hardened.rs, mcp_tool_bridge.rs, lsp_client.rs, permission_enforcer.rs, recovery_recipes.rs, stale_branch.rs, task_registry.rs, team_cron_registry.rs, worker_boot.rs)
The direct CLI wrappers for agents, skills, and mcp treated nested help flags as ordinary operands. That made commands like `claw mcp show --help` report a missing server and `claw skills install --help` fall into filesystem install logic instead of surfacing usage.
This change normalizes help-path arguments before dispatch so nested help stays on the help path. The regression tests cover both handler-level behavior and end-to-end CLI output for nested help and unknown subcommands with trailing help flags.
Constraint: Keep the fix scoped to direct CLI slash-command wrappers without changing unrelated parser behavior
Rejected: Rework top-level argument parsing for all subcommands | broader risk than needed for the regression
Confidence: high

Promote doctor into a real top-level CLI action, reuse the same local report for resumed and REPL doctor invocations, and intercept doctor/status/sandbox help flags before prompt-mode dispatch. The parser change also closes the help fallthrough that previously wandered into runtime startup for local-info commands.
Constraint: Preserve prompt shorthand for normal multi-word text input while fixing exact local subcommand help paths

The shipped CLI surface lives in `src/main.rs`, which only wires `init`,
`input`, and `render`. The legacy `app.rs` and `args.rs` prototypes were
not in the module tree and had no inbound references, so this change deletes
those orphaned files instead of widening scope into a larger refactor.
It also aligns the TUI enhancement plan with that reality so the document no
longer describes the removed prototypes as current tracked structure.
Constraint: Must preserve shipped CLI parsing and slash-command behavior
Rejected: Refactor main.rs into smaller modules now | widens scope beyond behavior-safe cleanup
Rejected: Leave TUI plan wording untouched | leaves low-risk stale documentation behind

The global --output-format json flag already reached prompt-mode responses, but
status and sandbox still bypassed that path and printed human-readable tables.
This change threads the selected output format through direct command aliases
and resumed slash-command execution so status queries emit valid structured
JSON instead of mixed prose.
It also adds end-to-end regression coverage for direct status/sandbox JSON
and resumed /status JSON so shell automation can rely on stable parsing.
Constraint: Global output formatting must stay compatible with existing text-mode reports
Rejected: Require callers to scrape text status tables | fragile and breaks automation
Confidence: high

The runtime already tracked rough token estimates for compaction, but provider-bound
requests still relied on naive model output limits and could be sent upstream even
when the selected model could not fit the estimated prompt plus requested output.
This adds a small model token/context registry in the API layer, estimates request
size from the serialized prompt payload, and fails locally with a dedicated
context-window error before Anthropic or xAI calls are made. Focused integration
coverage asserts the preflight fires before any HTTP request leaves the process.
Constraint: Keep the first pass minimal and reusable across both Anthropic and OpenAI-compatible providers
Rejected: Auto-compact-and-retry in the same patch | broader control-flow change than the requested minimal preflight
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean

This adds crate-level and type-level Rustdoc to the runtime crate's core exported types so downstream crates and contributors can understand the session, prompt, permission, OAuth, usage, and tool I/O primitives without spelunking every implementation file.

The root and Rust-facing docs now point readers at a single task-oriented usage guide with build, auth, CLI, session, and parity-harness examples. This also fixes stale workspace references and updates the Rust workspace inventory to match the current crate set.
Constraint: Existing README copy still referenced the old dev/rust status and needed to stay lightweight
