Global session store causes cross-worktree confusion in parallel lanes.
Added workspace_root field to session metadata and documented root cause
in ROADMAP.md.
- Anthropic-compat (ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL + ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN)
- OpenAI-compat (OPENAI_BASE_URL + OPENAI_API_KEY)
- ollama example with concrete curl
- OpenRouter example with model selection
Addresses community requests for local model setup guidance.
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
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep context-window rendering keyed to nested error inspection so provider wrappers do not lose recovery guidance
Tested: cargo fmt --check; cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli context_window; cargo test -p api oversized
Not-tested: Full workspace test suite
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.
Constraint: Keep the change minimal and preserve existing user-visible error wording outside retry-exhaustion classification
Rejected: Broadly rework all provider error taxonomy | unnecessary for the targeted opaque-wrapper regression
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep retry exhaustion distinct from single-shot provider_internal wrappers when the nested error is the same generic fatal wrapper
Tested: cargo test -p api detects_generic_fatal_wrapper_and_classifies_it_as_provider_internal
Tested: cargo test -p api retries_exhausted_preserves_nested_request_id_and_failure_class

Tested: cargo test --workspace

Not-tested: Live OpenClaw/Anthropic service failure telemetry outside the local test harness
The CLI still treated every /skills payload other than list/install/help as local usage text, so skills that appeared in /skills could not actually be invoked. This restores prompt dispatch for /skills <skill> [args], keeps list/install on the local path, and shares skill resolution with the Skill tool so project-local and legacy /commands entries resolve consistently.
Constraint: --resume local slash execution still only supports local commands without provider turns
Rejected: Implement full resumed prompt-turn execution for /skills | larger behavior change outside this bugfix
Rejected: Keep separate skill lookups in tools and commands | drift already caused listing/invocation mismatches
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep /skills discovery, CLI prompt dispatch, and Tool Skill resolution on the same registry semantics
Tested: cargo fmt --all; cargo clippy -p commands -p tools -p rusty-claude-cli --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace -- --nocapture
Not-tested: Live provider-backed /skills invocation against external skill packs in an interactive REPL
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
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep provider-side context-window detection aligned with real oversized-request messages before broadening the marker list
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check
Tested: cargo test -p api
Tested: cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli
Tested: cargo clippy -p api -p rusty-claude-cli --all-targets -- -D warnings
Not-tested: cargo test --workspace
The audit fix already landed, but the roadmap entry was split across two separate done items for /sandbox and inventory even though the underlying defect was one resumed-local-command JSON parity surface. Consolidating the note makes the machine-readable gap precise and keeps the backlog trail aligned with the actual fix scope.
Constraint: Preserve the existing issue ordering and backlog context around issues 23-24
Rejected: Leave the split entries as-is | obscures that one parity bug covered the same resumed JSON dispatch path
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Record future parity audits as one backlog item per underlying contract gap, not per individual command symptom
Tested: Existing green verification from HEAD remains applicable; docs-only wording update
Not-tested: No additional code-path verification required for this wording-only change
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
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep inventory subcommands on dedicated structured handlers instead of serializing human-readable reports
Tested: cargo test -p commands renders_agents_reports_as_json; cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli --test output_format_contract; cargo test --workspace; cargo fmt --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
Not-tested: Manual invocation of `claw agents --output-format json` outside automated tests
