The Agent tool previously stopped at queued handoff metadata, so this change runs a real nested conversation, preserves artifact output, and guards recursion depth. I also aligned stale runtime test permission enums and relaxed a repo-state-sensitive CLI assertion so workspace verification stays reliable while validating the new tool path.
Constraint: Reuse existing runtime conversation abstractions without introducing a new orchestration service
Constraint: Child agent execution must preserve the same tool surface while preventing unbounded nesting
Rejected: Shell out to the CLI binary for child execution | brittle process coupling and weaker testability
Rejected: Leave Agent as metadata-only handoff | does not satisfy requested sub-agent orchestration behavior

The Rust CLI now recognizes explicit local image references in prompt text,
encodes supported image files as base64, and serializes mixed text/image
content blocks for the API. The request conversion path was kept narrow so
existing runtime/session structures remain stable while prompt mode and user
text conversion gain multimodal support.
Constraint: Must support PNG, JPG/JPEG, GIF, and WebP without adding broad runtime abstractions
Constraint: Existing text-only prompt behavior and API tool flows must keep working unchanged

This change makes compaction summaries durable under .claude/memory,

The Rust CLI now stores managed sessions under ~/.claude/sessions,
records additive session metadata in the canonical JSON transcript,

Startup auth was split between the CLI and API crates, which made saved OAuth refresh behavior eager and easy to drift. This change adds a startup-specific resolver in the API layer, keeps env-only auth semantics intact, preserves saved refresh tokens when refresh responses omit them, and lets the CLI reuse the shared resolver while keeping --version on a purely local path.
Constraint: Saved OAuth credentials live in ~/.claude/credentials.json and must remain compatible with existing runtime helpers
Constraint: --version must not require config loading or any API/auth client initialization

The custom crossterm editor now supports prompt history, slash-command tab

The Rust CLI/runtime now models permissions as ordered access levels, derives tool requirements from the shared tool specs, and prompts REPL users before one-off danger-full-access escalations from workspace-write sessions. This also wires explicit --permission-mode parsing and makes /permissions operate on the live session state instead of an implicit env-derived default.
Constraint: Must preserve the existing three user-facing modes read-only, workspace-write, and danger-full-access
Constraint: Must avoid new dependencies and keep enforcement inside the existing runtime/tool plumbing
Rejected: Keep the old Allow/Deny/Prompt policy model | could not represent ordered tool requirements across the CLI surface

The runtime crate already had typed MCP config parsing, bootstrap metadata,
