YeonGyu-Kim b81e6422b4 ROADMAP #120: .claw.json custom JSON5-partial parser accepts trailing commas but silently drops comments/unquoted/BOM; combined with alias table 'default'→ReadOnly + no-config→DangerFullAccess creates security-critical user-intent inversion 
Dogfooded 2026-04-18 on main HEAD 7859222 from /tmp/cdVV.

Extends #86 (silent-drop general case) with two new angles:

1. JSON5-partial acceptance matrix:
   ACCEPTED (loaded correctly):
     - trailing comma (one)
   SILENTLY DROPPED (loaded_config_files=0, zero stderr, exit 0):
     - line comments (//)
     - block comments (/* */)
     - unquoted keys
     - UTF-8 BOM
     - single quotes
     - hex numbers
     - leading commas
     - multiple trailing commas

   8 cases tested, 1 accepted, 7 silently dropped.
   The 1 accepted gives false signal of JSON5 tolerance.

2. Alias table creates user-intent inversion:
   config.rs:856-858:
     'default' | 'plan' | 'read-only' => ReadOnly
     'acceptEdits' | 'auto' | 'workspace-write' => WorkspaceWrite
     'dontAsk' | 'danger-full-access' => DangerFullAccess

   CRITICAL: 'default' in the config file = ReadOnly
             no config at all = DangerFullAccess (per #87)
   These are OPPOSITE modes.

   Security-inversion chain:
     user writes: {'// comment', 'defaultMode': 'default'}
     user intent: read-only
     parser: rejects comment
     read_optional_json_object: silently returns Ok(None)
     config loader: no config present
     permission_mode: falls back to no-config default
                      = DangerFullAccess
     ACTUAL RESULT: opposite of intent. ZERO warning.

Trace:
  config.rs:674-692 read_optional_json_object:
    is_legacy_config = (file_name == '.claw.json')
    match JsonValue::parse(&contents) {
        Ok(parsed) => parsed,
        Err(_error) if is_legacy_config => return Ok(None),
        Err(error) => return Err(ConfigError::Parse(...)),
    }
    is_legacy silent-drop. (#86 covers general case)

  json.rs JsonValue::parse — custom parser:
    accepts trailing comma
    rejects everything else JSON5-ish

Fix shape (~80 lines, overlaps with #86):
- Pick policy: strict JSON or explicit JSON5. Enforce consistently.
- Apply #86 fix here: replace silent-drop with warn-and-continue,
  structured warning in stderr + JSON surface.
- Rename 'default' alias OR map to 'ask' (matches English meaning).
- Structure status output: add config_parse_errors:[] field so
  claws detect silent drops via JSON without stderr-parsing.
- Regression matrix per JSON5 feature + security-invariant test.

Joins Permission-audit/tool-allow-list (#94, #97, #101, #106,
#115) as 6th — this is the CONFIG-PARSE anchor of the permission-
posture problem. Complete matrix:
  #87 absence → DangerFullAccess
  #101 env-var fail-OPEN → DangerFullAccess
  #115 init-generated dangerous default → DangerFullAccess
  #120 config parse-drops → DangerFullAccess

Joins Truth-audit on loaded_config_files=0 + permission_mode=
danger-full-access inconsistency without config_parse_errors[].

Joins Reporting-surface/config-hygiene (#90, #91, #92, #110,
#115, #116) on silent-drop-no-stderr-exit-0 axis.

Joins Claude Code migration parity (#103, #109, #116, #117,
#119) as 6th — claw-code is strict-where-Claude-was-lax (#116)
AND lax-where-Claude-was-strict (#120). Maximum migration confusion.

Natural bundles:
  #86 + #120 — config-parse reliability pair:
    silent-drop general case (#86) +
    JSON5-partial-acceptance + alias-inversion (#120)

  Permission-drift-at-every-boundary 4-way:
    #87 + #101 + #115 + #120 — absence + env-var + init +
    config-drop. Complete coverage of every path to DangerFullAccess.

  Security-critical permission drift audit mega-bundle:
    #86 + #87 + #101 + #115 + #116 + #120 — five-way sweep of
    every path to wrong permissions.

Claw Code

Claw Code is the public Rust implementation of the claw CLI agent harness. The canonical implementation lives in rust/, and the current source of truth for this repository is ultraworkers/claw-code.

[!IMPORTANT] Start with USAGE.md for build, auth, CLI, session, and parity-harness workflows. Make claw doctor your first health check after building, use rust/README.md for crate-level details, read PARITY.md for the current Rust-port checkpoint, and see docs/container.md for the container-first workflow.

ACP / Zed status: claw-code does not ship an ACP/Zed daemon entrypoint yet. Run claw acp (or claw --acp) for the current status instead of guessing from source layout; claw acp serve is currently a discoverability alias only, and real ACP support remains tracked separately in ROADMAP.md.

Current repository shape

  • rust/ — canonical Rust workspace and the claw CLI binary
  • USAGE.md — task-oriented usage guide for the current product surface
  • PARITY.md — Rust-port parity status and migration notes
  • ROADMAP.md — active roadmap and cleanup backlog
  • PHILOSOPHY.md — project intent and system-design framing
  • src/ + tests/ — companion Python/reference workspace and audit helpers; not the primary runtime surface

Quick start

[!NOTE] [!WARNING] cargo install claw-code installs the wrong thing. The claw-code crate on crates.io is a deprecated stub that places claw-code-deprecated.exe — not claw. Running it only prints "claw-code has been renamed to agent-code". Do not use cargo install claw-code. Either build from source (this repo) or install the upstream binary:

cargo install agent-code   # upstream binary — installs 'agent.exe' (Windows) / 'agent' (Unix), NOT 'agent-code'

This repo (ultraworkers/claw-code) is build-from-source only — follow the steps below.

# 1. Clone and build
git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code
cd claw-code/rust
cargo build --workspace

# 2. Set your API key (Anthropic API key — not a Claude subscription)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."

# 3. Verify everything is wired correctly
./target/debug/claw doctor

# 4. Run a prompt
./target/debug/claw prompt "say hello"

[!NOTE] Windows (PowerShell): the binary is claw.exe, not claw. Use .\target\debug\claw.exe or run cargo run -- prompt "say hello" to skip the path lookup.

Windows setup

PowerShell is a supported Windows path. Use whichever shell works for you. The common onboarding issues on Windows are:

  1. Install Rust first — download from https://rustup.rs/ and run the installer. Close and reopen your terminal when it finishes.
  2. Verify Rust is on PATH: 
    cargo --version
    If this fails, reopen your terminal or run the PATH setup from the Rust installer output, then retry.
  3. Clone and build (works in PowerShell, Git Bash, or WSL): 
    git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code
cd claw-code/rust
cargo build --workspace
  4. Run (PowerShell — note .exe and backslash): 
    $env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = "sk-ant-..."
.\target\debug\claw.exe prompt "say hello"

Git Bash / WSL are optional alternatives, not requirements. If you prefer bash-style paths (/c/Users/you/... instead of C:\Users\you\...), Git Bash (ships with Git for Windows) works well. In Git Bash, the MINGW64 prompt is expected and normal — not a broken install.

[!NOTE] Auth: claw requires an API key (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, etc.) — Claude subscription login is not a supported auth path.

Run the workspace test suite:

cd rust
cargo test --workspace
