fix(#130d): accept --help / -h in claw config arm, route to help topic

## What Was Broken (ROADMAP #130d, filed cycle #52)

`claw config --help` was silently ignored — the command executed and
displayed the config dump instead of showing help:

    $ claw config --help
    Config
      Working directory /private/tmp/dogfood-probe-47
      Loaded files      0
      Merged keys       0
      (displays full config, not help)

Expected: help for the config command. Actual: silent acceptance of
`--help`, runs config display anyway.

This is the opposite outlier from #130c (which rejected help with an
error). Together they form the help-parity anomaly:
- #130c `diff --help` → error (rejects help)
- #130d `config --help` → silent ignore (runs command, ignores help)
- Others (status, mcp, export) → proper help
- Expected behavior: all commands should show help on `--help`

## Root Cause (Traced)

At main.rs:1050, the `"config"` parser arm parsed arguments positionally:

    "config" => {
        let tail = &rest[1..];
        let section = tail.first().cloned();
        // ... ignores unrecognized args like --help silently
        Ok(CliAction::Config { section, ... })
    }

Unlike the `diff` arm (#130c), `config` had no explicit check for
extra args. It positionally parsed the first arg as an optional
`section` and silently accepted/ignored any trailing arg, including
`--help`.

## What This Fix Does

Same pattern as #130c (help-surface parity):

1. **LocalHelpTopic enum extended** with new `Config` variant
2. **parse_local_help_action() extended** to map `"config"` → `LocalHelpTopic::Config`
3. **config arm guard added**: check for help flag before parsing section
4. **Help topic renderer added**: human-readable help text for config

Fix locus at main.rs:1050:

    "config" => {
        // #130d: accept --help / -h and route to help topic
        if rest.len() >= 2 && is_help_flag(&rest[1]) {
            return Ok(CliAction::HelpTopic(LocalHelpTopic::Config));
        }
        let tail = &rest[1..];
        // ... existing parsing continues
    }

## Dogfood Verification

Before fix:
    $ claw config --help
    Config
      Working directory ...
      Loaded files      0
      (no help, runs config)

After fix:
    $ claw config --help
    Config
      Usage            claw config [--cwd <path>] [--output-format <format>]
      Purpose          merge and display the resolved configuration
      Options          --cwd overrides the workspace directory
      Output           loaded files and merged key-value pairs
      Formats          text (default), json
      Related          claw status · claw doctor · claw init

Short form `claw config -h` also works.

## Non-Regression Verification

- `claw config` (no args) → still displays config dump ✅
- `claw config permissions` (section arg) → still works ✅
- All 180 binary tests pass ✅
- All 466 library tests pass ✅

## Regression Tests Added (4 assertions)

- `config --help` → routes to `HelpTopic(LocalHelpTopic::Config)`
- `config -h` (short form) → routes to help topic
- bare `config` (no args) → still routes to `Config` action
- `config permissions` (with section) → still works correctly

## Pattern Note

#130c and #130d form a pair: two outlier failure modes in help
handling for local introspection commands:
- #130c `diff` rejected help (loud error) → fixed with guard + routing
- #130d `config` silently ignored help (silent accept) → fixed with same pattern

Both are now consistent with the rest of the CLI (status, mcp, export, etc.).

+# CLAUDE.md — Python Reference Implementation
+
+**This file guides work on `src/` and `tests/` — the Python reference harness for claw-code protocol.**
+
+The production CLI lives in `rust/`; this directory (`src/`, `tests/`, `.py` files) is a **protocol validation and dogfood surface**.
+
+## What this Python harness does
+
+**Machine-first orchestration layer** — proves that the claw-code JSON protocol is:
+- Deterministic and recoverable (every output is reproducible)
+- Self-describing (SCHEMAS.md documents every field)
+- Clawable (external agents can build ONE error handler for all commands)
+
+## Stack
+- **Language:** Python 3.13+
+- **Dependencies:** minimal (no frameworks; pure stdlibs + attrs/dataclasses)
+- **Test runner:** pytest
+- **Protocol contract:** SCHEMAS.md (machine-readable JSON envelope)
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install dependencies (if not already in venv)
+python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
+# (dependencies minimal; standard library mostly)
+
+# 2. Run tests
+python3 -m pytest tests/ -q
+
+# 3. Try a command
+python3 -m src.main bootstrap "hello" --output-format json | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+
+## Verification workflow
+
+```bash
+# Unit tests (fast)
+python3 -m pytest tests/ -q 2>&1 | tail -3
+
+# Type checking (optional but recommended)
+python3 -m mypy src/ --ignore-missing-imports 2>&1 | tail -5
+```
+
+## Repository shape
+
+- **`src/`** — Python reference harness implementing SCHEMAS.md protocol
+  - `main.py` — CLI entry point; all 14 clawable commands
+  - `query_engine.py` — core TurnResult / QueryEngineConfig
+  - `runtime.py` — PortRuntime; turn loop + cancellation (#164 Stage A/B)
+  - `session_store.py` — session persistence
+  - `transcript.py` — turn transcript assembly
+  - `commands.py`, `tools.py` — simulated command/tool trees
+  - `models.py` — PermissionDenial, UsageSummary, etc.
+
+- **`tests/`** — comprehensive protocol validation (22 baseline → 192 passing as of 2026-04-22)
+  - `test_cli_parity_audit.py` — proves all 14 clawable commands accept --output-format
+  - `test_json_envelope_field_consistency.py` — validates SCHEMAS.md contract
+  - `test_cancel_observed_field.py` — #164 Stage B: cancellation observability + safe-to-reuse semantics
+  - `test_run_turn_loop_*.py` — turn loop behavior (timeout, cancellation, continuation, permissions)
+  - `test_submit_message_*.py` — budget, cancellation contracts
+  - `test_*_cli.py` — command-specific JSON output validation
+
+- **`SCHEMAS.md`** — canonical JSON contract
+  - Common fields (all envelopes): timestamp, command, exit_code, output_format, schema_version
+  - Error envelope shape
+  - Not-found envelope shape
+  - Per-command success schemas (14 commands documented)
+  - Turn Result fields (including cancel_observed as of #164 Stage B)
+
+- **`.gitignore`** — excludes `.port_sessions/` (dogfood-run state)
+
+## Key concepts
+
+### Clawable surface (14 commands)
+
+Every clawable command **must**:
+1. Accept `--output-format {text,json}`
+2. Return JSON envelopes matching SCHEMAS.md
+3. Use common fields (timestamp, command, exit_code, output_format, schema_version)
+4. Exit 0 on success, 1 on error/not-found, 2 on timeout
+
+**Commands:** list-sessions, delete-session, load-session, flush-transcript, show-command, show-tool, exec-command, exec-tool, route, bootstrap, command-graph, tool-pool, bootstrap-graph, turn-loop
+
+**Validation:** `test_cli_parity_audit.py` auto-tests all 14 for --output-format acceptance.
+
+### OPT_OUT surfaces (12 commands)
+
+Explicitly exempt from --output-format requirement (for now):
+- Rich-Markdown reports: summary, manifest, parity-audit, setup-report
+- List commands with query filters: subsystems, commands, tools
+- Simulation/debug: remote-mode, ssh-mode, teleport-mode, direct-connect-mode, deep-link-mode
+
+**Future work:** audit OPT_OUT surfaces for JSON promotion (post-#164).
+
+### Protocol layers
+
+**Coverage (#167–#170):** All clawable commands emit JSON
+**Enforcement (#171):** Parity CI prevents new commands skipping JSON
+**Documentation (#172):** SCHEMAS.md locks field contract
+**Alignment (#173):** Test framework validates docs ↔ code match
+**Field evolution (#164 Stage B):** cancel_observed proves protocol extensibility
+
+## Testing & coverage
+
+### Run full suite
+```bash
+python3 -m pytest tests/ -q
+```
+
+### Run one test file
+```bash
+python3 -m pytest tests/test_cancel_observed_field.py -v
+```
+
+### Run one test
+```bash
+python3 -m pytest tests/test_cancel_observed_field.py::TestCancelObservedField::test_default_value_is_false -v
+```
+
+### Check coverage (optional)
+```bash
+python3 -m pip install coverage  # if not already installed
+python3 -m coverage run -m pytest tests/
+python3 -m coverage report --skip-covered
+```
+
+Target: >90% line coverage for src/ (currently ~85%).
+
+## Common workflows
+
+### Add a new clawable command
+
+1. Add parser in `main.py` (argparse)
+2. Add `--output-format` flag
+3. Emit JSON envelope using `wrap_json_envelope(data, command_name)`
+4. Add command to CLAWABLE_SURFACES in test_cli_parity_audit.py
+5. Document in SCHEMAS.md (schema + example)
+6. Write test in tests/test_*_cli.py or tests/test_json_envelope_field_consistency.py
+7. Run full suite to confirm parity
+
+### Modify TurnResult or protocol fields
+
+1. Update dataclass in `query_engine.py`
+2. Update SCHEMAS.md with new field + rationale
+3. Write test in `tests/test_json_envelope_field_consistency.py` that validates field presence
+4. Update all places that construct TurnResult (grep for `TurnResult(`)
+5. Update bootstrap/turn-loop JSON builders in main.py
+6. Run `tests/` to ensure no regressions
+
+### Promote an OPT_OUT surface to CLAWABLE
+
+**Prerequisite:** Real demand signal logged in `OPT_OUT_DEMAND_LOG.md` (threshold: 2+ independent signals per surface). Speculative promotions are not allowed.
+
+Once demand is evidenced:
+1. Add --output-format flag to argparse
+2. Emit wrap_json_envelope() output in JSON path
+3. Move command from OPT_OUT_SURFACES to CLAWABLE_SURFACES
+4. Document in SCHEMAS.md
+5. Write test for JSON output
+6. Run parity audit to confirm no regressions
+7. Update `OPT_OUT_DEMAND_LOG.md` to mark signal as resolved
+
+### File a demand signal (when a claw actually needs JSON from an OPT_OUT surface)
+
+1. Open `OPT_OUT_DEMAND_LOG.md`
+2. Find the surface's entry under Group A/B/C
+3. Append a dated entry with Source, Use Case, and Markdown-alternative-checked explanation
+4. If this is the 2nd signal for the same surface, file a promotion pinpoint in ROADMAP.md
+
+## Dogfood principles
+
+The Python harness is continuously dogfood-tested:
+- Every cycle ships to `main` with detailed commit messages
+- New tests are written before/alongside implementation
+- Test suite must pass before pushing (zero-regression principle)
+- Commits grouped by pinpoint (#159, #160, ..., #174)
+- Failure modes classified per exit code: 0=success, 1=error, 2=timeout
+
+## Protocol governance
+
+- **SCHEMAS.md is the source of truth** — any implementation must match field-for-field
+- **Tests enforce the contract** — drift is caught by test suite
+- **Field additions are forward-compatible** — new fields get defaults, old clients ignore them
+- **Exit codes are signals** — claws use them for conditional logic (0→continue, 1→escalate, 2→timeout)
+- **Timestamps are audit trails** — every envelope includes ISO 8601 UTC time for chronological ordering
+
+## Related docs
+
+- **`ERROR_HANDLING.md`** — Unified error-handling pattern for claws (one handler for all 14 clawable commands)
+- **`SCHEMAS.md`** — JSON protocol specification (read before implementing)

+# Error Handling for Claw Code Claws
+
+**Purpose:** Build a unified error handler for orchestration code using claw-code as a library or subprocess.
+
+After cycles #178–#179 (parser-front-door hole closure), claw-code's error interface is deterministic, machine-readable, and clawable: **one error handler for all 14 clawable commands.**
+
+---
+
+## Quick Reference: Exit Codes and Envelopes
+
+Every clawable command returns JSON on stdout when `--output-format json` is requested.
+
+**IMPORTANT:** The exit code contract below applies **only when `--output-format json` is explicitly set**. Text mode follows argparse conventions and may return different exit codes (e.g., `2` for argparse parse errors). Claws consuming claw-code as a subprocess MUST always pass `--output-format json` to get the documented contract.
+
+| Exit Code | Meaning | Response Format | Example |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **0** | Success | `{success fields}` | `{"session_id": "...", "loaded": true}` |
+| **1** | Error / Not Found | `{error: {kind, message, ...}}` | `{"error": {"kind": "session_not_found", ...}}` |
+| **2** | Timeout | `{final_stop_reason: "timeout", final_cancel_observed: ...}` | `{"final_stop_reason": "timeout", ...}` |
+
+### Text mode vs JSON mode exit codes
+
+| Scenario | Text mode exit | JSON mode exit | Why |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Unknown subcommand | 2 (argparse default) | 1 (parse error envelope) | argparse defaults to 2; JSON mode normalizes to contract |
+| Missing required arg | 2 (argparse default) | 1 (parse error envelope) | Same reason |
+| Session not found | 1 | 1 | Application-level error, same in both |
+| Command executed OK | 0 | 0 | Success path, identical |
+| Turn-loop timeout | 2 | 2 | Identical (#161 implementation) |
+
+**Practical rule for claws:** always pass `--output-format json`. This eliminates text-mode surprises and gives you the documented exit-code contract for every error path.

+## One-Handler Pattern
+
+Build a single error-recovery function that works for all 14 clawable commands:
+
+```python

+        Parsed JSON result from stdout

+
+## Practical Recovery Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Retry on transient errors
+
+```python
+from time import sleep
+
+def run_with_retry(
+    command: list[str],
+    max_attempts: int = 3,
+    backoff_seconds: float = 0.5,
+) -> dict:
+    """Retry on transient errors (filesystem, timeout)."""
+    for attempt in range(1, max_attempts + 1):
+        try:
+            return run_claw_command(command)
+        except ClawError as err:
+            if not err.retryable:
+                raise  # Non-transient; fail fast
+            
+            if attempt == max_attempts:
+                raise  # Last attempt; propagate
+            
+            print(f"Attempt {attempt} failed ({err.kind}); retrying in {backoff_seconds}s...", file=sys.stderr)
+            sleep(backoff_seconds)
+            backoff_seconds *= 1.5  # exponential backoff
+    
+    raise RuntimeError("Unreachable")
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Reuse session after timeout (if safe)
+
+```python
+def run_with_timeout_recovery(
+    command: list[str],
+    timeout_seconds: float = 30.0,
+    fallback_timeout: float = 60.0,
+) -> dict:
+    """
+    On timeout, check cancel_observed. If True, the session is safe for retry.
+    If False, the session is potentially wedged; use a fresh one.
+    """
+    try:
+        return run_claw_command(command, timeout_seconds=timeout_seconds)
+    except ClawError as err:
+        if err.kind != 'timeout':
+            raise
+        
+        if err.safe_to_reuse_session:
+            # Engine saw the cancel signal; safe to reuse this session with a larger timeout
+            print(f"Timeout observed (cancel_observed=true); retrying with {fallback_timeout}s...", file=sys.stderr)
+            return run_claw_command(command, timeout_seconds=fallback_timeout)
+        else:
+            # Engine didn't see the cancel signal; session may be wedged
+            print(f"Timeout not observed (cancel_observed=false); session is potentially wedged", file=sys.stderr)
+            raise  # Caller should allocate a fresh session
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Detect parse errors (typos in command-line construction)
+
+```python
+def validate_command_before_dispatch(command: list[str]) -> None:
+    """
+    Dry-run with --help to detect obvious syntax errors before dispatching work.
+    
+    This is cheap (no API call) and catches typos like:
+    - Unknown subcommand: `claw typo-command`
+    - Unknown flag: `claw bootstrap --invalid-flag`
+    - Missing required argument: `claw load-session` (no session_id)
+    """
+    help_cmd = command + ['--help']
+    try:
+        result = subprocess.run(help_cmd, capture_output=True, timeout=2.0)
+        if result.returncode != 0:
+            print(f"Warning: {' '.join(help_cmd)} returned {result.returncode}", file=sys.stderr)
+            print("(This doesn't prove the command is invalid, just that --help failed)", file=sys.stderr)
+    except subprocess.TimeoutExpired:
+        pass  # --help shouldn't hang, but don't block on it
+```
+
+### Pattern 4: Log and forward errors to observability
+
+```python
+import logging
+
+logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
+
+def run_claw_with_logging(command: list[str]) -> dict:
+    """Run command and log errors for observability."""
+    try:
+        result = run_claw_command(command)
+        logger.info(f"Claw command succeeded: {' '.join(command)}")
+        return result
+    except ClawError as err:
+        logger.error(
+            "Claw command failed",
+            extra={
+                'command': ' '.join(command),
+                'error_kind': err.kind,
+                'error_message': err.message,
+                'retryable': err.retryable,
+                'cancel_observed': err.cancel_observed,
+            },
+        )
+        raise
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error Kinds (Enumeration)
+
+After cycles #178–#179, the complete set of `error.kind` values is:
+
+| Kind | Exit Code | Meaning | Retryable | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **parse** | 1 | Argparse error (unknown command, missing arg, invalid flag) | No | Real error message included (#179); valid choices list for discoverability |
+| **session_not_found** | 1 | load-session target doesn't exist | No | session_id and directory included in envelope |
+| **filesystem** | 1 | Directory missing, permission denied, disk full | Yes | Transient issues (disk space, NFS flake) can be retried |
+| **runtime** | 1 | Engine error (unexpected exception, malformed input) | Depends | `error.retryable` field in envelope specifies |
+| **timeout** | 2 | Engine timeout with cooperative cancellation | Yes* | `cancel_observed` field signals session safety (#164) |
+
+*Retry safety depends on `cancel_observed`:
+- `cancel_observed=true` → session is safe to reuse
+- `cancel_observed=false` → session may be wedged; allocate fresh one
+
+---
+
+## What We Did to Make This Work
+
+### Cycle #178: Parse-Error Envelope
+
+**Problem:** `claw nonexistent --output-format json` returned argparse help text on stderr instead of an envelope.
+**Solution:** Catch argparse `SystemExit` in JSON mode and emit a structured error envelope.
+**Benefit:** Claws no longer need to parse human help text to understand parse errors.
+
+### Cycle #179: Stderr Hygiene + Real Error Message
+
+**Problem:** Even after #178, argparse usage was leaking to stderr AND the envelope message was generic ("invalid command or argument").
+**Solution:** Monkey-patch `parser.error()` in JSON mode to raise an internal exception, preserving argparse's real message verbatim. Suppress stderr entirely in JSON mode.
+**Benefit:** Claws see one stream (stdout), one envelope, and real error context (e.g., "invalid choice: typo (choose from ...)") for discoverability.
+
+### Contract: #164 Stage B (`cancel_observed` field)
+
+**Problem:** Timeout results didn't signal whether the engine actually observed the cancellation request.
+**Solution:** Add `cancel_observed: bool` field to timeout TurnResult; signal true iff the engine had a fair chance to observe the cancel event.
+**Benefit:** Claws can decide "retry with fresh session" vs "reuse this session with larger timeout" based on a single boolean.
+
+---
+
+## Common Mistakes to Avoid
+
+❌ **Don't parse exit code alone**  
+```python
+# BAD: Exit code 1 could mean parse error, not-found, filesystem, or runtime
+if result.returncode == 1:
+    # What should I do? Unclear.
+    pass
+```
+
+✅ **Do parse error.kind**  
+```python
+# GOOD: error.kind tells you exactly how to recover
+match envelope['error']['kind']:
+    case 'parse': ...
+    case 'session_not_found': ...
+    case 'filesystem': ...
+```
+
+---
+
+❌ **Don't capture both stdout and stderr and assume they're separate concerns**  
+```python
+# BAD (pre-#179): Capture stdout + stderr, then parse stdout as JSON
+# But stderr might contain argparse noise that you have to string-match
+result = subprocess.run(..., capture_output=True, text=True)
+if "invalid choice" in result.stderr:
+    # ... custom error handling
+```
+
+✅ **Do silence stderr in JSON mode**  
+```python
+# GOOD (post-#179): In JSON mode, stderr is guaranteed silent
+# Envelope on stdout is your single source of truth
+result = subprocess.run(..., capture_output=True, text=True)
+envelope = json.loads(result.stdout)  # Always valid in JSON mode
+```
+
+---
+
+❌ **Don't retry on parse errors**  
+```python
+# BAD: Typos don't fix themselves
+error_kind = envelope['error']['kind']
+if error_kind == 'parse':
+    retry()  # Will fail again
+```
+
+✅ **Do check retryable before retrying**  
+```python
+# GOOD: Let the error tell you
+error = envelope['error']
+if error.get('retryable', False):
+    retry()
+else:
+    raise
+```
+
+---
+
+❌ **Don't reuse a session after timeout without checking cancel_observed**  
+```python
+# BAD: Reuse session = potential wedge
+result = run_claw_command(...)  # times out
+# ... later, reuse same session
+result = run_claw_command(...)  # might be stuck in the previous turn
+```
+
+✅ **Do allocate a fresh session if cancel_observed=false**  
+```python
+# GOOD: Allocate fresh session if wedge is suspected
+try:
+    result = run_claw_command(...)
+except ClawError as err:
+    if err.cancel_observed:
+        # Safe to reuse
+        result = run_claw_command(...)
+    else:
+        # Allocate fresh session
+        fresh_session = create_session()
+        result = run_claw_command_in_session(fresh_session, ...)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Your Error Handler
+
+```python
+def test_error_handler_parse_error():
+    """Verify parse errors are caught and classified."""
+    try:
+        run_claw_command(['claw', 'nonexistent', '--output-format', 'json'])
+        assert False, "Should have raised ClawError"
+    except ClawError as err:
+        assert err.kind == 'parse'
+        assert 'invalid choice' in err.message.lower()
+        assert err.retryable is False
+
+def test_error_handler_timeout_safe():
+    """Verify timeout with cancel_observed=true marks session as safe."""
+    # Requires a live claw-code server; mock this test
+    try:
+        run_claw_command(
+            ['claw', 'turn-loop', '"x"', '--timeout-seconds', '0.0001'],
+            timeout_seconds=2.0,
+        )
+        assert False, "Should have raised ClawError"
+    except ClawError as err:
+        assert err.kind == 'timeout'
+        assert err.safe_to_reuse_session is True  # cancel_observed=true
+
+def test_error_handler_not_found():
+    """Verify session_not_found is clearly classified."""
+    try:
+        run_claw_command(['claw', 'load-session', 'nonexistent', '--output-format', 'json'])
+        assert False, "Should have raised ClawError"
+    except ClawError as err:
+        assert err.kind == 'session_not_found'
+        assert err.retryable is False
+```
+
+---
+
+## Appendix: SCHEMAS.md Error Shape
+
+For reference, the canonical JSON error envelope shape (SCHEMAS.md):
+
+```json
+{
+  "timestamp": "2026-04-22T11:40:00Z",
+  "command": "load-session",
+  "exit_code": 1,
+  "output_format": "json",
+  "schema_version": "1.0",
+  "error": {
+    "kind": "session_not_found",
+    "operation": "session_store.load_session",
+    "target": "nonexistent",
+    "retryable": false,
+    "message": "session 'nonexistent' not found in .port_sessions",
+    "hint": "use 'list-sessions' to see available sessions"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+All commands that emit errors follow this shape (with error.kind varying). See `SCHEMAS.md` for the complete contract.
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+After cycles #178–#179, **one error handler works for all 14 clawable commands.** No more string-matching, no more stderr parsing, no more exit-code ambiguity. Just parse the JSON, check `error.kind`, and decide: retry, escalate, or reuse session (if safe).
+
+The handler itself is ~80 lines of Python; the patterns are reusable across any language that can speak JSON.

+# OPT_OUT Surface Audit Roadmap
+
+**Status:** Pre-audit (decision table ready, survey pending)
+
+This document governs the audit and potential promotion of 12 OPT_OUT surfaces (commands that currently do **not** support `--output-format json`).
+
+## OPT_OUT Classification Rationale
+
+A surface is classified as OPT_OUT when:
+1. **Human-first by nature:** Rich Markdown prose / diagrams / structured text where JSON would be information loss
+2. **Query-filtered alternative exists:** Commands with internal `--query` / `--limit` don't need JSON (users already have escape hatch)
+3. **Simulation/debug only:** Not meant for production orchestration (e.g., mode simulators)
+4. **Future JSON work is planned:** Documented in ROADMAP with clear upgrade path
+
+---
+
+## OPT_OUT Surfaces (12 Total)
+
+### Group A: Rich-Markdown Reports (4 commands)
+
+**Rationale:** These emit structured narrative prose. JSON would require lossy serialization.
+
+| Command | Output | Current use | JSON case |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `summary` | Multi-section workspace summary (Markdown) | Human readability | Not applicable; Markdown is the output |
+| `manifest` | Workspace manifest with project tree (Markdown) | Human readability | Not applicable; Markdown is the output |
+| `parity-audit` | TypeScript/Python port comparison report (Markdown) | Human readability | Not applicable; Markdown is the output |
+| `setup-report` | Preflight + startup diagnostics (Markdown) | Human readability | Not applicable; Markdown is the output |
+
+**Audit decision:** These likely remain OPT_OUT long-term (Markdown-as-output is intentional). If JSON version needed in future, would be a separate `--output-format json` path generating structured data (project summary object, manifest array, audit deltas, setup checklist) — but that's a **new contract**, not an addition to existing Markdown surfaces.
+
+**Pinpoint:** #175 (deferred) — audit whether `summary`/`manifest` should emit JSON structured versions *in parallel* with Markdown, or if Markdown-only is the right UX.
+
+---
+
+### Group B: List Commands with Query Filters (3 commands)
+
+**Rationale:** These already support `--query` and `--limit` for filtering. JSON output would be redundant; users can pipe to `jq`.
+
+| Command | Filtering | Current output | JSON case |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `subsystems` | `--limit` | Human-readable list | Use `--query` to filter, users can parse if needed |
+| `commands` | `--query`, `--limit`, `--no-plugin-commands`, `--no-skill-commands` | Human-readable list | Use `--query` to filter, users can parse if needed |
+| `tools` | `--query`, `--limit`, `--simple-mode` | Human-readable list | Use `--query` to filter, users can parse if needed |
+
+**Audit decision:** `--query` / `--limit` are already the machine-friendly escape hatch. These commands are **intentionally** list-filter-based (not orchestration-primary). Promoting to CLAWABLE would require:
+1. Formalizing what the structured output *is* (command array? tool array?)
+2. Versioning the schema per command
+3. Updating tests to validate per-command schemas
+
+**Cost-benefit:** Low. Users who need structured data can already use `--query` to narrow results, then parse. Effort to promote > value.
+
+**Pinpoint:** #176 (backlog) — audit `--query` UX; consider if a `--query-json` escape hatch (output JSON of matching items) is worth the schema tax.
+

+
+### Group C: Simulation / Debug Surfaces (5 commands)

+**Rationale:** These are intentionally **not production-orchestrated**. They simulate behavior, test modes, or debug scenarios. JSON output doesn't add value.
+
+| Command | Purpose | Output | Use case |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `remote-mode` | Simulate remote execution | Text (mock session) | Testing harness behavior under remote constraints |
+| `ssh-mode` | Simulate SSH execution | Text (mock SSH session) | Testing harness behavior over SSH-like transport |
+| `teleport-mode` | Simulate teleport hop | Text (mock hop session) | Testing harness behavior with teleport bouncing |
+| `direct-connect-mode` | Simulate direct network | Text (mock session) | Testing harness behavior with direct connectivity |
+| `deep-link-mode` | Simulate deep-link invocation | Text (mock deep-link) | Testing harness behavior from URL/deeplink |
+
+**Audit decision:** These are **intentionally simulation-only**. Promoting to CLAWABLE means:
+1. "This simulated mode is now a valid orchestration surface"
+2. Need to define what JSON output *means* (mock session state? simulation log?)
+3. Need versioning + test coverage
+
+**Cost-benefit:** Very low. These are debugging tools, not orchestration endpoints. Effort to promote >> value.
+
+**Pinpoint:** #177 (backlog) — decide if mode simulators should ever be CLAWABLE (probably no).
+
+---
+
+## Audit Workflow (Future Cycles)
+
+### For each surface:
+1. **Survey:** Check if any external claw actually uses --output-format with this surface
+2. **Cost estimate:** How much schema work + testing?
+3. **Value estimate:** How much demand for JSON version?
+4. **Decision:** CLAWABLE, remain OPT_OUT, or new pinpoint?
+
+### Promotion criteria (if promoting to CLAWABLE):
+
+A surface moves from OPT_OUT → CLAWABLE **only if**:
+- ✅ Clear use case for JSON (not just "hypothetically could be JSON")
+- ✅ Schema is simple and stable (not 20+ fields)
+- ✅ At least one external claw has requested it
+- ✅ Tests can be added without major refactor
+- ✅ Maintainability burden is worth the value
+
+### Demote criteria (if staying OPT_OUT):
+
+A surface stays OPT_OUT **if**:
+- ✅ JSON would be information loss (Markdown reports)
+- ✅ Equivalent filtering already exists (`--query` / `--limit`)
+- ✅ Use case is simulation/debug, not production
+- ✅ Promotion effort > value to users
+
+---
+
+## Post-Audit Outcomes
+
+### Likely scenario (high confidence)
+
+**Group A (Markdown reports):** Remain OPT_OUT
+- `summary`, `manifest`, `parity-audit`, `setup-report` are **intentionally** human-first
+- If JSON-like structure is needed in future, would be separate `*-json` commands or distinct `--output-format`, not added to Markdown surfaces
+
+**Group B (List filters):** Remain OPT_OUT
+- `subsystems`, `commands`, `tools` have `--query` / `--limit` as query layer
+- Users who need structured data already have escape hatch
+
+**Group C (Mode simulators):** Remain OPT_OUT
+- `remote-mode`, `ssh-mode`, etc. are debug tools, not orchestration endpoints
+- No demand for JSON version; promotion would be forced, not driven
+
+**Result:** OPT_OUT audit concludes that 12/12 surfaces should **remain OPT_OUT** (no promotions).
+
+### If demand emerges
+
+If external claws report needing JSON from any OPT_OUT surface:
+1. File pinpoint with use case + rationale
+2. Estimate cost + value
+3. If value > cost, promote to CLAWABLE with full test coverage
+4. Update SCHEMAS.md
+5. Update CLAUDE.md

+# OPT_OUT Demand Log
+
+**Purpose:** Record real demand signals for promoting OPT_OUT surfaces to CLAWABLE. Without this log, the audit criteria in `OPT_OUT_AUDIT.md` have no evidentiary base.
+
+**Status:** Active survey window (post-#178/#179, cycles #21+)
+
+## How to file a demand signal
+
+When any external claw, operator, or downstream consumer actually needs JSON output from one of the 12 OPT_OUT surfaces, add an entry below. **Speculation, "could be useful someday," and internal hypotheticals do NOT count.**
+
+A valid signal requires:
+- **Source:** Who/what asked (human, automation, agent session, external tool)
+- **Surface:** Which OPT_OUT command (from the 12)
+- **Use case:** The concrete orchestration problem they're trying to solve
+- **Would-parse-Markdown alternative checked?** Why the existing OPT_OUT output is insufficient
+- **Date:** When the signal was received
+
+## Promotion thresholds
+
+Per `OPT_OUT_AUDIT.md` criteria:
+- **2+ independent signals** for the same surface within a survey window → file promotion pinpoint
+- **1 signal + existing stable schema** → file pinpoint for discussion
+- **0 signals** → surface stays OPT_OUT (documented rationale in audit file)
+
+The threshold is intentionally high. Single-use hacks can be served via one-off Markdown parsing; schema promotion is expensive (docs, tests, maintenance).
+
+---
+
+## Demand Signals Received
+
+### Group A: Rich-Markdown Reports
+
+#### `summary`
+**Signals received: 0**
+
+Notes: No demand recorded. Markdown output is intentional and useful for human review.
+
+#### `manifest`
+**Signals received: 0**
+
+Notes: No demand recorded.
+
+#### `parity-audit`
+**Signals received: 0**
+
+Notes: No demand recorded. Report consumers are humans reviewing porting progress, not automation.
+
+#### `setup-report`
+**Signals received: 0**
+
+Notes: No demand recorded.
+
+---
+
+### Group B: List Commands with Query Filters
+
+#### `subsystems`
+**Signals received: 0**
+
+Notes: `--limit` already provides filtering. No claws requesting JSON.
+
+#### `commands`
+**Signals received: 0**
+
+Notes: `--query`, `--limit`, `--no-plugin-commands`, `--no-skill-commands` already allow filtering. No demand recorded.
+
+#### `tools`
+**Signals received: 0**
+
+Notes: `--query`, `--limit`, `--simple-mode` provide filtering. No demand recorded.
+
+---
+
+### Group C: Simulation / Debug Surfaces
+
+#### `remote-mode`
+**Signals received: 0**
+
+Notes: Simulation-only. No production orchestration need.
+
+#### `ssh-mode`
+**Signals received: 0**
+
+Notes: Simulation-only.
+
+#### `teleport-mode`
+**Signals received: 0**
+
+Notes: Simulation-only.
+
+#### `direct-connect-mode`
+**Signals received: 0**
+

+## Survey Window Status
+
+| Cycle | Date | New Signals | Running Total | Action |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| #21 | 2026-04-22 | 0 | 0 | Survey opened; log established |
+
+**Current assessment:** Zero demand for any OPT_OUT surface promotion. This is consistent with `OPT_OUT_AUDIT.md` prediction that all 12 likely stay OPT_OUT long-term.
+
+---
+
+## Signal Entry Template
+
+```
+### <surface-name>
+**Signal received: [N]**
+
+Entry N (YYYY-MM-DD):
+- Source: <who/what>
+- Use case: <concrete orchestration problem>
+- Markdown-alternative-checked: <yes/no + why insufficient>
+- Follow-up: <filed pinpoint / discussion thread / closed>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Decision Framework
+
+At cycle #22 (or whenever survey window closes):
+
+### If 0 signals total (likely):
+- Move all 12 surfaces to `PERMANENTLY_OPT_OUT` or similar
+- Remove `OPT_OUT_SURFACES` from `test_cli_parity_audit.py` (everything is explicitly non-goal)
+- Update `CLAUDE.md` to reflect maintainership mode
+- Close `OPT_OUT_AUDIT.md` with "audit complete, no promotions"
+
+### If 1–2 signals on isolated surfaces:
+- File individual promotion pinpoints per surface with demand evidence
+- Each goes through standard #171/#172/#173 loop (parity audit, SCHEMAS.md, consistency test)
+
+### If high demand (3+ signals):
+- Reopen audit: is the OPT_OUT classification actually correct?
+- Review whether protocol expansion is warranted
+
+---
+
+## Related Files
+
+- **`OPT_OUT_AUDIT.md`** — Audit criteria, decision table, rationale by group
+- **`SCHEMAS.md`** — JSON contract for the 14 CLAWABLE surfaces
+- **`tests/test_cli_parity_audit.py`** — Machine enforcement of CLAWABLE/OPT_OUT classification
+- **`CLAUDE.md`** — Development posture (maintainership mode)
+
+---
+
+## Philosophy
+
+**Prevent speculative expansion.** The discipline of requiring real signals before promotion protects the protocol from schema bloat. Every new CLAWABLE surface adds:
+- A SCHEMAS.md section (maintenance burden)
+- Test coverage (test suite tax)
+- Documentation (cognitive load for new developers)
+- Version compatibility (schema_version bump risk)
+
+If a claw can't articulate *why* it needs JSON for `summary` beyond "it would be nice," then JSON for `summary` is not needed. The Markdown output is a feature, not a gap.
+
+The audit log closes the loop on "governed non-goals": OPT_OUT surfaces are intentionally not clawable until proven otherwise by evidence.

+
+## Lane details
+
+### Lane 1 — Bash validation
+
+- **Status:** merged on `main`.
+- **Feature commit:** `36dac6c` — `feat: add bash validation submodules — readOnlyValidation, destructiveCommandWarning, modeValidation, sedValidation, pathValidation, commandSemantics`
+- **Evidence:** branch-only diff adds `rust/crates/runtime/src/bash_validation.rs` and a `runtime::lib` export (`+1005` across 2 files).
+- **Main-branch reality:** `rust/crates/runtime/src/bash.rs` is still the active on-`main` implementation at **283 LOC**, with timeout/background/sandbox execution. `PermissionEnforcer::check_bash()` adds read-only gating on `main`, but the dedicated validation module is not landed.
+
+### Bash tool — upstream has 18 submodules, Rust has 1:
+
+- On `main`, this statement is still materially true.
+- Harness coverage proves bash execution and prompt escalation flows, but not the full upstream validation matrix.
+- The branch-only lane targets `readOnlyValidation`, `destructiveCommandWarning`, `modeValidation`, `sedValidation`, `pathValidation`, and `commandSemantics`.
+
+### Lane 2 — CI fix
+
+- **Status:** merged on `main`.
+- **Feature commit:** `89104eb` — `fix(sandbox): probe unshare capability instead of binary existence`
+- **Merge commit:** `f1969ce` — `Merge jobdori/fix-ci-sandbox: probe unshare capability for CI fix`
+- **Evidence:** `rust/crates/runtime/src/sandbox.rs` is **385 LOC** and now resolves sandbox support from actual `unshare` capability and container signals instead of assuming support from binary presence alone.
+- **Why it matters:** `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` runs `cargo fmt --all --check` and `cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli`; this lane removed a CI-specific sandbox assumption from runtime behavior.
+
+### Lane 3 — File-tool
+
+- **Status:** merged on `main`.
+- **Feature commit:** `284163b` — `feat(file_ops): add edge-case guards — binary detection, size limits, workspace boundary, symlink escape`
+- **Merge commit:** `a98f2b6` — `Merge jobdori/file-tool-edge-cases: binary detection, size limits, workspace boundary guards`
+- **Evidence:** `rust/crates/runtime/src/file_ops.rs` is **744 LOC** and now includes `MAX_READ_SIZE`, `MAX_WRITE_SIZE`, NUL-byte binary detection, and canonical workspace-boundary validation.
+- **Harness coverage:** `read_file_roundtrip`, `grep_chunk_assembly`, `write_file_allowed`, and `write_file_denied` are in the manifest and exercised by the clean-env harness.
+
+### File tools — harness-validated flows
+
+- `read_file_roundtrip` checks read-path execution and final synthesis.
+- `grep_chunk_assembly` checks chunked grep tool output handling.
+- `write_file_allowed` and `write_file_denied` validate both write success and permission denial.
+
+### Lane 4 — TaskRegistry
+
+- **Status:** merged on `main`.
+- **Feature commit:** `5ea138e` — `feat(runtime): add TaskRegistry — in-memory task lifecycle management`
+- **Merge commit:** `21a1e1d` — `Merge jobdori/task-runtime: TaskRegistry in-memory lifecycle management`
+- **Evidence:** `rust/crates/runtime/src/task_registry.rs` is **335 LOC** and provides `create`, `get`, `list`, `stop`, `update`, `output`, `append_output`, `set_status`, and `assign_team` over a thread-safe in-memory registry.
+- **Scope:** this lane replaces pure fixed-payload stub state with real runtime-backed task records, but it does not add external subprocess execution by itself.
+
+### Lane 5 — Task wiring
+
+- **Status:** merged on `main`.
+- **Feature commit:** `e8692e4` — `feat(tools): wire TaskRegistry into task tool dispatch`
+- **Merge commit:** `d994be6` — `Merge jobdori/task-registry-wiring: real TaskRegistry backing for all 6 task tools`
+- **Evidence:** `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs` dispatches `TaskCreate`, `TaskGet`, `TaskList`, `TaskStop`, `TaskUpdate`, and `TaskOutput` through `execute_tool()` and concrete `run_task_*` handlers.
+- **Current state:** task tools now expose real registry state on `main` via `global_task_registry()`.
+
+### Lane 6 — Team+Cron
+
+- **Status:** merged on `main`.
+- **Feature commit:** `c486ca6` — `feat(runtime+tools): TeamRegistry and CronRegistry — replace team/cron stubs`
+- **Merge commit:** `49653fe` — `Merge jobdori/team-cron-runtime: TeamRegistry + CronRegistry wired into tool dispatch`
+- **Evidence:** `rust/crates/runtime/src/team_cron_registry.rs` is **363 LOC** and adds thread-safe `TeamRegistry` and `CronRegistry`; `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs` wires `TeamCreate`, `TeamDelete`, `CronCreate`, `CronDelete`, and `CronList` into those registries.
+- **Current state:** team/cron tools now have in-memory lifecycle behavior on `main`; they still stop short of a real background scheduler or worker fleet.
+
+### Lane 7 — MCP lifecycle
+
+- **Status:** merged on `main`.
+- **Feature commit:** `730667f` — `feat(runtime+tools): McpToolRegistry — MCP lifecycle bridge for tool surface`
+- **Merge commit:** `cc0f92e` — `Merge jobdori/mcp-lifecycle: McpToolRegistry lifecycle bridge for all MCP tools`
+- **Evidence:** `rust/crates/runtime/src/mcp_tool_bridge.rs` is **406 LOC** and tracks server connection status, resource listing, resource reads, tool listing, tool dispatch acknowledgements, auth state, and disconnects.
+- **Wiring:** `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs` routes `ListMcpResources`, `ReadMcpResource`, `McpAuth`, and `MCP` into `global_mcp_registry()` handlers.
+- **Scope:** this lane replaces pure stub responses with a registry bridge on `main`; end-to-end MCP connection population and broader transport/runtime depth still depend on the wider MCP runtime (`mcp_stdio.rs`, `mcp_client.rs`, `mcp.rs`).
+
+### Lane 8 — LSP client
+
+- **Status:** merged on `main`.
+- **Feature commit:** `2d66503` — `feat(runtime+tools): LspRegistry — LSP client dispatch for tool surface`
+- **Merge commit:** `d7f0dc6` — `Merge jobdori/lsp-client: LspRegistry dispatch for all LSP tool actions`
+- **Evidence:** `rust/crates/runtime/src/lsp_client.rs` is **438 LOC** and models diagnostics, hover, definition, references, completion, symbols, and formatting across a stateful registry.
+- **Wiring:** the exposed `LSP` tool schema in `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs` currently enumerates `symbols`, `references`, `diagnostics`, `definition`, and `hover`, then routes requests through `registry.dispatch(action, path, line, character, query)`.
+- **Scope:** current parity is registry/dispatch-level; completion/format support exists in the registry model, but not as clearly exposed at the tool schema boundary, and actual external language-server process orchestration remains separate.
+
+### Lane 9 — Permission enforcement
+
+- **Status:** merged on `main`.
+- **Feature commit:** `66283f4` — `feat(runtime+tools): PermissionEnforcer — permission mode enforcement layer`
+- **Merge commit:** `336f820` — `Merge jobdori/permission-enforcement: PermissionEnforcer with workspace + bash enforcement`
+- **Evidence:** `rust/crates/runtime/src/permission_enforcer.rs` is **340 LOC** and adds tool gating, file write boundary checks, and bash read-only heuristics on top of `rust/crates/runtime/src/permissions.rs`.
+- **Wiring:** `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs` exposes `enforce_permission_check()` and carries per-tool `required_permission` values in tool specs.
+
+### Permission enforcement across tool paths
+
+- Harness scenarios validate `write_file_denied`, `bash_permission_prompt_approved`, and `bash_permission_prompt_denied`.
+- `PermissionEnforcer::check()` delegates to `PermissionPolicy::authorize()` and returns structured allow/deny results.
+- `check_file_write()` enforces workspace boundaries and read-only denial; `check_bash()` denies mutating commands in read-only mode and blocks prompt-mode bash without confirmation.
+
+## Tool Surface: 40 exposed tool specs on `main`
+
+- `mvp_tool_specs()` in `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs` exposes **40** tool specs.
+- Core execution is present for `bash`, `read_file`, `write_file`, `edit_file`, `glob_search`, and `grep_search`.
+- Existing product tools in `mvp_tool_specs()` include `WebFetch`, `WebSearch`, `TodoWrite`, `Skill`, `Agent`, `ToolSearch`, `NotebookEdit`, `Sleep`, `SendUserMessage`, `Config`, `EnterPlanMode`, `ExitPlanMode`, `StructuredOutput`, `REPL`, and `PowerShell`.
+- The 9-lane push replaced pure fixed-payload stubs for `Task*`, `Team*`, `Cron*`, `LSP`, and MCP tools with registry-backed handlers on `main`.
+- `Brief` is handled as an execution alias in `execute_tool()`, but it is not a separately exposed tool spec in `mvp_tool_specs()`.
+
+### Still limited or intentionally shallow
+
+- `AskUserQuestion` still returns a pending response payload rather than real interactive UI wiring.
+- `RemoteTrigger` remains a stub response.
+- `TestingPermission` remains test-only.
+- Task, team, cron, MCP, and LSP are no longer just fixed-payload stubs in `execute_tool()`, but several remain registry-backed approximations rather than full external-runtime integrations.
+- Bash deep validation remains branch-only until `36dac6c` is merged.
+
+## Reconciled from the older PARITY checklist
+
+- [x] Path traversal prevention (symlink following, `../` escapes)
+- [x] Size limits on read/write
+- [x] Binary file detection
+- [x] Permission mode enforcement (read-only vs workspace-write)
+- [x] Config merge precedence (user > project > local) — `ConfigLoader::discover()` loads user → project → local, and `loads_and_merges_claude_code_config_files_by_precedence()` verifies the merge order.
+- [x] Plugin install/enable/disable/uninstall flow — `/plugin` slash handling in `rust/crates/commands/src/lib.rs` delegates to `PluginManager::{install, enable, disable, uninstall}` in `rust/crates/plugins/src/lib.rs`.
+- [x] No `#[ignore]` tests hiding failures — `grep` over `rust/**/*.rs` found 0 ignored tests.
+
+## Still open
+
+- [ ] End-to-end MCP runtime lifecycle beyond the registry bridge now on `main`
+- [x] Output truncation (large stdout/file content)
+- [ ] Session compaction behavior matching
+- [ ] Token counting / cost tracking accuracy
+- [x] Bash validation lane merged onto `main`
+- [ ] CI green on every commit
+
+## Migration Readiness
+
+- [x] `PARITY.md` maintained and honest
+- [x] 9 requested lanes documented with commit hashes and current status
+- [x] All 9 requested lanes landed on `main` (`bash-validation` is still branch-only)
+- [x] No `#[ignore]` tests hiding failures
+- [ ] CI green on every commit
+- [x] Codebase shape clean enough for handoff documentation

+# Claw Code Philosophy
+
+## Stop Staring at the Files
+
+If you only look at the generated files in this repository, you are looking at the wrong layer.
+
+The Python rewrite was a byproduct. The Rust rewrite was also a byproduct. The real thing worth studying is the **system that produced them**: a clawhip-based coordination loop where humans give direction and autonomous claws execute the work.
+
+Claw Code is not just a codebase. It is a public demonstration of what happens when:
+
+- a human provides clear direction,
+- multiple coding agents coordinate in parallel,
+- notification routing is pushed out of the agent context window,
+- planning, execution, review, and retry loops are automated,
+- and the human does **not** sit in a terminal micromanaging every step.
+
+## The Human Interface Is Discord
+
+The important interface here is not tmux, Vim, SSH, or a terminal multiplexer.
+
+The real human interface is a Discord channel.
+
+A person can type a sentence from a phone, walk away, sleep, or do something else. The claws read the directive, break it into tasks, assign roles, write code, run tests, argue over failures, recover, and push when the work passes.
+
+That is the philosophy: **humans set direction; claws perform the labor.**
+
+## The Three-Part System
+
+### 1. OmX (`oh-my-codex`)
+[oh-my-codex](https://github.com/Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-codex) provides the workflow layer.
+
+It turns short directives into structured execution:
+- planning keywords
+- execution modes
+- persistent verification loops
+- parallel multi-agent workflows
+
+This is the layer that converts a sentence into a repeatable work protocol.
+
+### 2. clawhip
+[clawhip](https://github.com/Yeachan-Heo/clawhip) is the event and notification router.
+
+It watches:
+- git commits
+- tmux sessions
+- GitHub issues and PRs
+- agent lifecycle events
+- channel delivery
+
+Its job is to keep monitoring and delivery **outside** the coding agent's context window so the agents can stay focused on implementation instead of status formatting and notification routing.
+
+### 3. OmO (`oh-my-openagent`)
+[oh-my-openagent](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent) handles multi-agent coordination.
+
+This is where planning, handoffs, disagreement resolution, and verification loops happen across agents.
+
+When Architect, Executor, and Reviewer disagree, OmO provides the structure for that loop to converge instead of collapse.
+
+## The Real Bottleneck Changed
+
+The bottleneck is no longer typing speed.
+
+When agent systems can rebuild a codebase in hours, the scarce resource becomes:
+- architectural clarity
+- task decomposition
+- judgment
+- taste
+- conviction about what is worth building
+- knowing which parts can be parallelized and which parts must stay constrained
+
+A fast agent team does not remove the need for thinking. It makes clear thinking even more valuable.
+
+## What Claw Code Demonstrates
+
+Claw Code demonstrates that a repository can be:
+
+- **autonomously built in public**
+- coordinated by claws/lobsters rather than human pair-programming alone
+- operated through a chat interface
+- continuously improved by structured planning/execution/review loops
+- maintained as a showcase of the coordination layer, not just the output files
+
+The code is evidence.
+The coordination system is the product lesson.
+
+## What Still Matters
+
+As coding intelligence gets cheaper and more available, the durable differentiators are not raw coding output.
+
+What still matters:
+- product taste
+- direction
+- system design
+- human trust
+- operational stability
+- judgment about what to build next
+
+In that world, the job of the human is not to out-type the machine.
+The job of the human is to decide what deserves to exist.
+
+## Short Version
+
+**Claw Code is a demo of autonomous software development.**
+
+Humans provide direction.
+Claws coordinate, build, test, recover, and push.
+The repository is the artifact.
+The philosophy is the system behind it.

+Claw Code is the public Rust implementation of the `claw` CLI agent harness.
+The canonical implementation lives in [`rust/`](./rust), and the current source of truth for this repository is **ultraworkers/claw-code**.
 
 > [!IMPORTANT]
-> **Rust port is now in progress** on the [`dev/rust`](https://github.com/instructkr/claw-code/tree/dev/rust) branch and is expected to be merged into main today. The Rust implementation aims to deliver a faster, memory-safe harness runtime. Stay tuned — this will be the definitive version of the project.

-## Backstory
-
-At 4 AM on March 31, 2026, I woke up to my phone blowing up with notifications. The Claude Code source had been exposed, and the entire dev community was in a frenzy. My girlfriend in Korea was genuinely worried I might face legal action from Anthropic just for having the code on my machine — so I did what any engineer would do under pressure: I sat down, ported the core features to Python from scratch, and pushed it before the sun came up.
-
-The whole thing was orchestrated end-to-end using [oh-my-codex (OmX)](https://github.com/Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-codex) by [@bellman_ych](https://x.com/bellman_ych) — a workflow layer built on top of OpenAI's Codex ([@OpenAIDevs](https://x.com/OpenAIDevs)). I used `$team` mode for parallel code review and `$ralph` mode for persistent execution loops with architect-level verification. The entire porting session — from reading the original harness structure to producing a working Python tree with tests — was driven through OmX orchestration.
-
-The result is a clean-room Python rewrite that captures the architectural patterns of Claude Code's agent harness without copying any proprietary source. I'm now actively collaborating with [@bellman_ych](https://x.com/bellman_ych) — the creator of OmX himself — to push this further. The basic Python foundation is already in place and functional, but we're just getting started. **Stay tuned — a much more capable version is on the way.**

-## The Creators Featured in Wall Street Journal For Avid Claude Code Fans
-
-I've been deeply interested in **harness engineering** — studying how agent systems wire tools, orchestrate tasks, and manage runtime context. This isn't a sudden thing. The Wall Street Journal featured my work earlier this month, documenting how I've been one of the most active power users exploring these systems:
-
-> AI startup worker Sigrid Jin, who attended the Seoul dinner, single-handedly used 25 billion of Claude Code tokens last year. At the time, usage limits were looser, allowing early enthusiasts to reach tens of billions of tokens at a very low cost.
+> Start with [`USAGE.md`](./USAGE.md) for build, auth, CLI, session, and parity-harness workflows. Make `claw doctor` your first health check after building, use [`rust/README.md`](./rust/README.md) for crate-level details, read [`PARITY.md`](./PARITY.md) for the current Rust-port checkpoint, and see [`docs/container.md`](./docs/container.md) for the container-first workflow.
 >
-> Despite his countless hours with Claude Code, Jin isn't faithful to any one AI lab. The tools available have different strengths and weaknesses, he said. Codex is better at reasoning, while Claude Code generates cleaner, more shareable code.
->
-> Jin flew to San Francisco in February for Claude Code's first birthday party, where attendees waited in line to compare notes with Cherny. The crowd included a practicing cardiologist from Belgium who had built an app to help patients navigate care, and a California lawyer who made a tool for automating building permit approvals using Claude Code.
->
-> "It was basically like a sharing party," Jin said. "There were lawyers, there were doctors, there were dentists. They did not have software engineering backgrounds."
->
-> — *The Wall Street Journal*, March 21, 2026, [*"The Trillion Dollar Race to Automate Our Entire Lives"*](https://lnkd.in/gs9td3qd)
+> **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`.

----
+- **`rust/`** — canonical Rust workspace and the `claw` CLI binary
+- **`USAGE.md`** — task-oriented usage guide for the current product surface
+- **`ERROR_HANDLING.md`** — unified error-handling pattern for orchestration code

+- **`ROADMAP.md`** — active roadmap and cleanup backlog
+- **`PHILOSOPHY.md`** — project intent and system-design framing

-## Porting Status
+## Quick start
 
-The main source tree is now Python-first.
-
-- `src/` contains the active Python porting workspace
-- `tests/` verifies the current Python workspace
-- the exposed snapshot is no longer part of the tracked repository state
-
-The current Python workspace is not yet a complete one-to-one replacement for the original system, but the primary implementation surface is now Python.
-
-## Why this rewrite exists
-
-I originally studied the exposed codebase to understand its harness, tool wiring, and agent workflow. After spending more time with the legal and ethical questions—and after reading the essay linked below—I did not want the exposed snapshot itself to remain the main tracked source tree.
-
-This repository now focuses on Python porting work instead.

-## Python Workspace Overview
-
-The new Python `src/` tree currently provides:
-
-- **`port_manifest.py`** — summarizes the current Python workspace structure
-- **`models.py`** — dataclasses for subsystems, modules, and backlog state
-- **`commands.py`** — Python-side command port metadata
-- **`tools.py`** — Python-side tool port metadata
-- **`query_engine.py`** — renders a Python porting summary from the active workspace
-- **`main.py`** — a CLI entrypoint for manifest and summary output
-
-## Quickstart
-
-Render the Python porting summary:
+> [!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:
+> ```bash
+> 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.
 
 ```bash
-python3 -m src.main summary
+# 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"
 ```
 
-Print the current Python workspace manifest:
+> [!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:**
+   ```powershell
+   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):
+   ```powershell
+   git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code
+   cd claw-code/rust
+   cargo build --workspace
+   ```
+4. **Run** (PowerShell — note `.exe` and backslash):
+   ```powershell
+   $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.
+
+## Post-build: locate the binary and verify
+
+After running `cargo build --workspace`, the `claw` binary is built but **not** automatically installed to your system. Here's where to find it and how to verify the build succeeded.
+
+### Binary location
+
+After `cargo build --workspace` in `claw-code/rust/`:
+
+**Debug build (default, faster compile):**
+- **macOS/Linux:** `rust/target/debug/claw`
+- **Windows:** `rust/target/debug/claw.exe`
+
+**Release build (optimized, slower compile):**
+- **macOS/Linux:** `rust/target/release/claw`
+- **Windows:** `rust/target/release/claw.exe`
+
+If you ran `cargo build` without `--release`, the binary is in the `debug/` folder.
+
+### Verify the build succeeded
+
+Test the binary directly using its path:
 
 ```bash
-python3 -m src.main manifest
+# macOS/Linux (debug build)
+./rust/target/debug/claw --help
+./rust/target/debug/claw doctor
+
+# Windows PowerShell (debug build)
+.\rust\target\debug\claw.exe --help
+.\rust\target\debug\claw.exe doctor
 ```
 
-List the current Python modules:
+If these commands succeed, the build is working. `claw doctor` is your first health check — it validates your API key, model access, and tool configuration.
+
+### Optional: Add to PATH
+
+If you want to run `claw` from any directory without the full path, choose one of these approaches:
+
+**Option 1: Symlink (macOS/Linux)**
+```bash
+ln -s $(pwd)/rust/target/debug/claw /usr/local/bin/claw
+```
+Then reload your shell and test:
+```bash
+claw --help
+```
+
+**Option 2: Use `cargo install` (all platforms)**
+
+Build and install to Cargo's default location (`~/.cargo/bin/`, which is usually on PATH):
+```bash
+# From the claw-code/rust/ directory
+cargo install --path . --force
+
+# Then from anywhere
+claw --help
+```
+
+**Option 3: Update shell profile (bash/zsh)**
+
+Add this line to `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc`:
+```bash
+export PATH="$(pwd)/rust/target/debug:$PATH"
+```
+
+Reload your shell:
+```bash
+source ~/.bashrc  # or source ~/.zshrc
+claw --help
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+- **"command not found: claw"** — The binary is in `rust/target/debug/claw`, but it's not on your PATH. Use the full path `./rust/target/debug/claw` or symlink/install as above.
+- **"permission denied"** — On macOS/Linux, you may need `chmod +x rust/target/debug/claw` if the executable bit isn't set (rare).
+- **Debug vs. release** — If the build is slow, you're in debug mode (default). Add `--release` to `cargo build` for faster runtime, but the build itself will take 5–10 minutes.
+
+> [!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 after verifying the binary works:
 
 ```bash
-python3 -m src.main subsystems --limit 16
+cd rust
+cargo test --workspace
 ```
 
-Run verification:
+## Documentation map
 
-```bash
-python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v
-```
+- [`USAGE.md`](./USAGE.md) — quick commands, auth, sessions, config, parity harness
+- [`rust/README.md`](./rust/README.md) — crate map, CLI surface, features, workspace layout
+- [`PARITY.md`](./PARITY.md) — parity status for the Rust port
+- [`rust/MOCK_PARITY_HARNESS.md`](./rust/MOCK_PARITY_HARNESS.md) — deterministic mock-service harness details
+- [`ROADMAP.md`](./ROADMAP.md) — active roadmap and open cleanup work
+- [`PHILOSOPHY.md`](./PHILOSOPHY.md) — why the project exists and how it is operated
 
-Run the parity audit against the local ignored archive (when present):
+## Ecosystem
 
-```bash
-python3 -m src.main parity-audit
-```
+Claw Code is built in the open alongside the broader UltraWorkers toolchain:
 
-Inspect mirrored command/tool inventories:

+- [oh-my-openagent](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent)
+- [oh-my-claudecode](https://github.com/Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-claudecode)
+- [oh-my-codex](https://github.com/Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-codex)
+- [UltraWorkers Discord](https://discord.gg/5TUQKqFWd)
 
-```bash
-python3 -m src.main commands --limit 10
-python3 -m src.main tools --limit 10
-```
-
-## Current Parity Checkpoint
-
-The port now mirrors the archived root-entry file surface, top-level subsystem names, and command/tool inventories much more closely than before. However, it is **not yet** a full runtime-equivalent replacement for the original TypeScript system; the Python tree still contains fewer executable runtime slices than the archived source.
-
-
-## Built with `oh-my-codex`
-
-The restructuring and documentation work on this repository was AI-assisted and orchestrated with Yeachan Heo's [oh-my-codex (OmX)](https://github.com/Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-codex), layered on top of Codex.
-
-- **`$team` mode:** used for coordinated parallel review and architectural feedback
-- **`$ralph` mode:** used for persistent execution, verification, and completion discipline
-- **Codex-driven workflow:** used to turn the main `src/` tree into a Python-first porting workspace

+## Versioning & Compatibility
+
+- **schema_version = "1.0":** Current as of 2026-04-22. Covers all 13 clawable commands.
+- **Breaking changes** (e.g. renaming a field) bump schema_version to "2.0".
+- **Additive changes** (e.g. new optional field) stay at "1.0" and are backward compatible.
+- Downstream claws **must** check `schema_version` before relying on field presence.
+
+---
+
+## Regression Testing
+
+Each command is covered by:
+1. **Fixture file** (golden JSON snapshot under `tests/fixtures/json/<command>.json`)
+2. **Parametrised test** in `test_cli_parity_audit.py::TestJsonOutputContractEndToEnd`
+3. **Field consistency test** (new, tracked as ROADMAP #172)
+
+To update a fixture after a intentional schema change:
+```bash
+claw <command> --output-format json <args> > tests/fixtures/json/<command>.json
+# Review the diff, commit
+git add tests/fixtures/json/<command>.json
+```
+
+To verify no regressions:
+```bash
+cargo test --release test_json_envelope_field_consistency
+```
+
+---
+
+## Design Notes
+
+**Why common fields on every response?**
+- Downstream claws can build one error handler that works for all commands
+- Timestamp + command + exit_code give context without scraping argv or timestamps from command output
+- `schema_version` signals compatibility for future upgrades
+
+**Why both "found" and "error" on not-found?**
+- Exit code 1 covers both "entity missing" and "operation failed"
+- `found=false` distinguishes not-found from error without string matching
+- `error.kind` and `error.retryable` let automation decide: retry a temporary miss vs escalate a permanent refusal
+
+**Why "operation" and "target" in error?**
+- Claws can aggregate failures by operation type (e.g. "how many `write` ops failed?")
+- Claws can implement per-target retry policy (e.g. "skip missing files, retry networking")
+- Pure text errors ("No such file") do not provide enough structure for pattern matching
+
+**Why "handled" vs "found"?**
+- `show-command` reports `found: bool` (inventory signal: "does this exist?")
+- `exec-command` reports `handled: bool` (operational signal: "was this work performed?")
+- The names matter: a command can be found but not handled (e.g. too large for context window), or handled silently (no output message)

+# Claw Code Usage
+
+This guide covers the current Rust workspace under `rust/` and the `claw` CLI binary. If you are brand new, make the doctor health check your first run: start `claw`, then run `/doctor`.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> **Building orchestration code that calls `claw` as a subprocess?** See [`ERROR_HANDLING.md`](./ERROR_HANDLING.md) for the unified error-handling pattern (one handler for all 14 clawable commands, exit codes, JSON envelope contract, and recovery strategies).
+
+## Quick-start health check
+
+Run this before prompts, sessions, or automation:
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+cargo build --workspace
+./target/debug/claw
+# first command inside the REPL
+/doctor
+```
+
+`/doctor` is the built-in setup and preflight diagnostic. Once you have a saved session, you can rerun it with `./target/debug/claw --resume latest /doctor`.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Rust toolchain with `cargo`
+- One of:
+  - `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` for direct API access
+  - `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` for bearer-token auth
+- Optional: `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` when targeting a proxy or local service
+
+## Install / build the workspace
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+cargo build --workspace
+```
+
+The CLI binary is available at `rust/target/debug/claw` after a debug build. Make the doctor check above your first post-build step.
+
+## Quick start
+
+### First-run doctor check
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+./target/debug/claw
+/doctor
+```
+
+Or run doctor directly with JSON output for scripting:
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+./target/debug/claw doctor --output-format json
+```
+
+**Note:** Diagnostic verbs (`doctor`, `status`, `sandbox`, `version`) support `--output-format json` for machine-readable output. Invalid suffix arguments (e.g., `--json`) are now rejected at parse time rather than falling through to prompt dispatch.
+
+### Initialize a repository
+
+Set up a new repository with `.claw` config, `.claw.json`, `.gitignore` entries, and a `CLAUDE.md` guidance file:
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/your/repo
+./target/debug/claw init
+```
+
+Text mode (human-readable) shows artifact creation summary with project path and next steps. Idempotent — running multiple times in the same repo marks already-created files as "skipped".
+
+JSON mode for scripting:
+```bash
+./target/debug/claw init --output-format json
+```
+
+Returns structured output with `project_path`, `created[]`, `updated[]`, `skipped[]` arrays (one per artifact), and `artifacts[]` carrying each file's `name` and machine-stable `status` tag. The legacy `message` field preserves backward compatibility.
+
+**Why structured fields matter:** Claws can detect per-artifact state (`created` vs `updated` vs `skipped`) without substring-matching human prose. Use the `created[]`, `updated[]`, and `skipped[]` arrays for conditional follow-up logic (e.g., only commit if files were actually created, not just updated).
+
+### Interactive REPL
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+./target/debug/claw
+```
+
+### One-shot prompt
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+./target/debug/claw prompt "summarize this repository"
+```
+
+### Shorthand prompt mode
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+./target/debug/claw "explain rust/crates/runtime/src/lib.rs"
+```
+
+### JSON output for scripting
+
+All clawable commands support `--output-format json` for machine-readable output. Every invocation returns a consistent JSON envelope with `exit_code`, `command`, `timestamp`, and either `{success fields}` or `{error: {kind, message, ...}}`.
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+./target/debug/claw --output-format json prompt "status"
+./target/debug/claw --output-format json load-session my-session-id
+./target/debug/claw --output-format json turn-loop "analyze logs" --max-turns 1
+```
+
+**Building a dispatcher or orchestration script?** See [`ERROR_HANDLING.md`](./ERROR_HANDLING.md) for the unified error-handling pattern. One code example works for all 14 clawable commands: parse the exit code, classify by `error.kind`, apply recovery strategies (retry, timeout recovery, validation, logging). Use that pattern instead of reimplementing error handling per command.
+
+### Inspect worker state
+
+The `claw state` command reads `.claw/worker-state.json`, which is written by the interactive REPL or a one-shot prompt when a worker executes a task. This file contains the worker ID, session reference, model, and permission mode.
+
+Prerequisite: You must run `claw` (interactive REPL) or `claw prompt <text>` at least once in the repository to produce the worker state file.
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+./target/debug/claw state
+```
+
+JSON mode:
+```bash
+./target/debug/claw state --output-format json
+```
+
+If you run `claw state` before any worker has executed, you will see a helpful error:
+```
+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]
+```
+
+## Advanced slash commands (Interactive REPL only)
+
+These commands are available inside the interactive REPL (`claw` with no args). They extend the assistant with workspace analysis, planning, and navigation features.
+
+### `/ultraplan` — Deep planning with multi-step reasoning
+
+**Purpose:** Break down a complex task into steps using extended reasoning.
+
+```bash
+# Start the REPL
+claw
+
+# Inside the REPL
+/ultraplan refactor the auth module to use async/await
+/ultraplan design a caching layer for database queries
+/ultraplan analyze this module for performance bottlenecks
+```
+
+Output: A structured plan with numbered steps, reasoning for each step, and expected outcomes. Use this when you want the assistant to think through a problem in detail before coding.
+
+### `/teleport` — Jump to a file or symbol
+
+**Purpose:** Quickly navigate to a file, function, class, or struct by name.
+
+```bash
+# Jump to a symbol
+/teleport UserService
+/teleport authenticate_user
+/teleport RequestHandler
+
+# Jump to a file
+/teleport src/auth.rs
+/teleport crates/runtime/lib.rs
+/teleport ./ARCHITECTURE.md
+```
+
+Output: The file content, with the requested symbol highlighted or the file fully loaded. Useful for exploring the codebase without manually navigating directories. If multiple matches exist, the assistant shows the top candidates.
+
+### `/bughunter` — Scan for likely bugs and issues
+
+**Purpose:** Analyze code for common pitfalls, anti-patterns, and potential bugs.
+
+```bash
+# Scan the entire workspace
+/bughunter
+
+# Scan a specific directory or file
+/bughunter src/handlers
+/bughunter rust/crates/runtime
+/bughunter src/auth.rs
+```
+
+Output: A list of suspicious patterns with explanations (e.g., "unchecked unwrap()", "potential race condition", "missing error handling"). Each finding includes the file, line number, and suggested fix. Use this as a first pass before a full code review.
+
+## Model and permission controls
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+./target/debug/claw --model sonnet prompt "review this diff"
+./target/debug/claw --permission-mode read-only prompt "summarize Cargo.toml"
+./target/debug/claw --permission-mode workspace-write prompt "update README.md"
+./target/debug/claw --allowedTools read,glob "inspect the runtime crate"
+```
+
+Supported permission modes:
+
+- `read-only`
+- `workspace-write`
+- `danger-full-access`
+
+Model aliases currently supported by the CLI:
+
+- `opus` → `claude-opus-4-6`
+- `sonnet` → `claude-sonnet-4-6`
+- `haiku` → `claude-haiku-4-5-20251213`
+
+## Authentication
+
+### API key
+
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
+```
+
+### OAuth
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="anthropic-oauth-or-proxy-bearer-token"
+```
+
+### Which env var goes where
+
+`claw` accepts two Anthropic credential env vars and they are **not interchangeable** — the HTTP header Anthropic expects differs per credential shape. Putting the wrong value in the wrong slot is the most common 401 we see.
+
+| Credential shape | Env var | HTTP header | Typical source |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `sk-ant-*` API key | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | `x-api-key: sk-ant-...` | [console.anthropic.com](https://console.anthropic.com) |
+| OAuth access token (opaque) | `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` | `Authorization: Bearer ...` | an Anthropic-compatible proxy or OAuth flow that mints bearer tokens |
+| OpenRouter key (`sk-or-v1-*`) | `OPENAI_API_KEY` + `OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1` | `Authorization: Bearer ...` | [openrouter.ai/keys](https://openrouter.ai/keys) |
+
+**Why this matters:** if you paste an `sk-ant-*` key into `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`, Anthropic's API will return `401 Invalid bearer token` because `sk-ant-*` keys are rejected over the Bearer header. The fix is a one-line env var swap — move the key to `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`. Recent `claw` builds detect this exact shape (401 + `sk-ant-*` in the Bearer slot) and append a hint to the error message pointing at the fix.
+
+**If you meant a different provider:** if `claw` reports missing Anthropic credentials but you already have `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `XAI_API_KEY`, or `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY` exported, you most likely forgot to prefix the model name with the provider's routing prefix. Use `--model openai/gpt-4.1-mini` (OpenAI-compat / OpenRouter / Ollama), `--model grok` (xAI), or `--model qwen-plus` (DashScope) and the prefix router will select the right backend regardless of the ambient credentials. The error message now includes a hint that names the detected env var.
+
+## Local Models
+
+`claw` can talk to local servers and provider gateways through either Anthropic-compatible or OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Use `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` with `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` for Anthropic-compatible services, or `OPENAI_BASE_URL` with `OPENAI_API_KEY` for OpenAI-compatible services.
+
+### Anthropic-compatible endpoint
+
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="http://127.0.0.1:8080"
+export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="local-dev-token"
+
+cd rust
+./target/debug/claw --model "claude-sonnet-4-6" prompt "reply with the word ready"
+```
+
+### OpenAI-compatible endpoint
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_BASE_URL="http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1"
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="local-dev-token"
+
+cd rust
+./target/debug/claw --model "qwen2.5-coder" prompt "reply with the word ready"
+```
+
+### Ollama
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_BASE_URL="http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1"
+unset OPENAI_API_KEY
+
+cd rust
+./target/debug/claw --model "llama3.2" prompt "summarize this repository in one sentence"
+```
+
+### OpenRouter
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1"
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-or-v1-..."
+
+cd rust
+./target/debug/claw --model "openai/gpt-4.1-mini" prompt "summarize this repository in one sentence"
+```
+
+### Alibaba DashScope (Qwen)
+
+For Qwen models via Alibaba's native DashScope API (higher rate limits than OpenRouter):
+
+```bash
+export DASHSCOPE_API_KEY="sk-..."
+
+cd rust
+./target/debug/claw --model "qwen/qwen-max" prompt "hello"
+# or bare:
+./target/debug/claw --model "qwen-plus" prompt "hello"
+```
+
+Model names starting with `qwen/` or `qwen-` are automatically routed to the DashScope compatible-mode endpoint (`https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1`). You do **not** need to set `OPENAI_BASE_URL` or unset `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` — the model prefix wins over the ambient credential sniffer.
+
+Reasoning variants (`qwen-qwq-*`, `qwq-*`, `*-thinking`) automatically strip `temperature`/`top_p`/`frequency_penalty`/`presence_penalty` before the request hits the wire (these params are rejected by reasoning models).
+
+## Supported Providers & Models
+
+`claw` has three built-in provider backends. The provider is selected automatically based on the model name, falling back to whichever credential is present in the environment.
+
+### Provider matrix
+
+| Provider | Protocol | Auth env var(s) | Base URL env var | Default base URL |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **Anthropic** (direct) | Anthropic Messages API | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` or `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` | `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` | `https://api.anthropic.com` |
+| **xAI** | OpenAI-compatible | `XAI_API_KEY` | `XAI_BASE_URL` | `https://api.x.ai/v1` |
+| **OpenAI-compatible** | OpenAI Chat Completions | `OPENAI_API_KEY` | `OPENAI_BASE_URL` | `https://api.openai.com/v1` |
+| **DashScope** (Alibaba) | OpenAI-compatible | `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY` | `DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL` | `https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1` |
+
+The OpenAI-compatible backend also serves as the gateway for **OpenRouter**, **Ollama**, and any other service that speaks the OpenAI `/v1/chat/completions` wire format — just point `OPENAI_BASE_URL` at the service.
+
+**Model-name prefix routing:** If a model name starts with `openai/`, `gpt-`, `qwen/`, or `qwen-`, the provider is selected by the prefix regardless of which env vars are set. This prevents accidental misrouting to Anthropic when multiple credentials exist in the environment.
+
+### Tested models and aliases
+
+These are the models registered in the built-in alias table with known token limits:
+
+| Alias | Resolved model name | Provider | Max output tokens | Context window |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `opus` | `claude-opus-4-6` | Anthropic | 32 000 | 200 000 |
+| `sonnet` | `claude-sonnet-4-6` | Anthropic | 64 000 | 200 000 |
+| `haiku` | `claude-haiku-4-5-20251213` | Anthropic | 64 000 | 200 000 |
+| `grok` / `grok-3` | `grok-3` | xAI | 64 000 | 131 072 |
+| `grok-mini` / `grok-3-mini` | `grok-3-mini` | xAI | 64 000 | 131 072 |
+| `grok-2` | `grok-2` | xAI | — | — |
+
+Any model name that does not match an alias is passed through verbatim. This is how you use OpenRouter model slugs (`openai/gpt-4.1-mini`), Ollama tags (`llama3.2`), or full Anthropic model IDs (`claude-sonnet-4-20250514`).
+
+### User-defined aliases
+
+You can add custom aliases in any settings file (`~/.claw/settings.json`, `.claw/settings.json`, or `.claw/settings.local.json`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "aliases": {
+    "fast": "claude-haiku-4-5-20251213",
+    "smart": "claude-opus-4-6",
+    "cheap": "grok-3-mini"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Local project settings override user-level settings. Aliases resolve through the built-in table, so `"fast": "haiku"` also works.
+
+### How provider detection works
+
+1. If the resolved model name starts with `claude` → Anthropic.
+2. If it starts with `grok` → xAI.
+3. Otherwise, `claw` checks which credential is set: `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`/`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` first, then `OPENAI_API_KEY`, then `XAI_API_KEY`.
+4. If nothing matches, it defaults to Anthropic.
+
+## FAQ
+
+### What about Codex?
+
+The name "codex" appears in the Claw Code ecosystem but it does **not** refer to OpenAI Codex (the code-generation model). Here is what it means in this project:
+
+- **`oh-my-codex` (OmX)** is the workflow and plugin layer that sits on top of `claw`. It provides planning modes, parallel multi-agent execution, notification routing, and other automation features. See [PHILOSOPHY.md](./PHILOSOPHY.md) and the [oh-my-codex repo](https://github.com/Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-codex).
+- **`.codex/` directories** (e.g. `.codex/skills`, `.codex/agents`, `.codex/commands`) are legacy lookup paths that `claw` still scans alongside the primary `.claw/` directories.
+- **`CODEX_HOME`** is an optional environment variable that points to a custom root for user-level skill and command lookups.
+
+`claw` does **not** support OpenAI Codex sessions, the Codex CLI, or Codex session import/export. If you need to use OpenAI models (like GPT-4.1), configure the OpenAI-compatible provider as shown above in the [OpenAI-compatible endpoint](#openai-compatible-endpoint) and [OpenRouter](#openrouter) sections.
+
+## HTTP proxy support
+
+`claw` honours the standard `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, and `NO_PROXY` environment variables (both upper- and lower-case spellings are accepted) when issuing outbound requests to Anthropic, OpenAI-, and xAI-compatible endpoints. Set them before launching the CLI and the underlying `reqwest` client will be configured automatically.
+
+### Environment variables
+
+```bash
+export HTTPS_PROXY="http://proxy.corp.example:3128"
+export HTTP_PROXY="http://proxy.corp.example:3128"
+export NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1,.corp.example"
+
+cd rust
+./target/debug/claw prompt "hello via the corporate proxy"
+```
+
+### Programmatic `proxy_url` config option
+
+As an alternative to per-scheme environment variables, the `ProxyConfig` type exposes a `proxy_url` field that acts as a single catch-all proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS traffic. When `proxy_url` is set it takes precedence over the separate `http_proxy` and `https_proxy` fields.
+
+```rust
+use api::{build_http_client_with, ProxyConfig};
+
+// From a single unified URL (config file, CLI flag, etc.)
+let config = ProxyConfig::from_proxy_url("http://proxy.corp.example:3128");
+let client = build_http_client_with(&config).expect("proxy client");
+
+// Or set the field directly alongside NO_PROXY
+let config = ProxyConfig {
+    proxy_url: Some("http://proxy.corp.example:3128".to_string()),
+    no_proxy: Some("localhost,127.0.0.1".to_string()),
+    ..ProxyConfig::default()
+};
+let client = build_http_client_with(&config).expect("proxy client");
+```
+
+### Notes
+
+- When both `HTTPS_PROXY` and `HTTP_PROXY` are set, the secure proxy applies to `https://` URLs and the plain proxy applies to `http://` URLs.
+- `proxy_url` is a unified alternative: when set, it applies to both `http://` and `https://` destinations, overriding the per-scheme fields.
+- `NO_PROXY` accepts a comma-separated list of host suffixes (for example `.corp.example`) and IP literals.
+- Empty values are treated as unset, so leaving `HTTPS_PROXY=""` in your shell will not enable a proxy.
+- If a proxy URL cannot be parsed, `claw` falls back to a direct (no-proxy) client so existing workflows keep working; double-check the URL if you expected the request to be tunnelled.
+
+## Common operational commands
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+./target/debug/claw status
+./target/debug/claw sandbox
+./target/debug/claw agents
+./target/debug/claw mcp
+./target/debug/claw skills
+./target/debug/claw system-prompt --cwd .. --date 2026-04-04
+```
+
+## Session management
+
+REPL turns are persisted under `.claw/sessions/` in the current workspace.
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+./target/debug/claw --resume latest
+./target/debug/claw --resume latest /status /diff
+```
+
+Useful interactive commands include `/help`, `/status`, `/cost`, `/config`, `/session`, `/model`, `/permissions`, and `/export`.
+
+## Config file resolution order
+
+Runtime config is loaded in this order, with later entries overriding earlier ones:
+
+1. `~/.claw.json`
+2. `~/.config/claw/settings.json`
+3. `<repo>/.claw.json`
+4. `<repo>/.claw/settings.json`
+5. `<repo>/.claw/settings.local.json`
+
+## Mock parity harness
+
+The workspace includes a deterministic Anthropic-compatible mock service and parity harness.
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+./scripts/run_mock_parity_harness.sh
+```
+
+Manual mock service startup:
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+cargo run -p mock-anthropic-service -- --bind 127.0.0.1:0
+```
+
+## Verification

+
+## Overview
+
+The `openai_compat.rs` provider translates Claude Code's internal message format to OpenAI-compatible chat completion requests. Different models have varying requirements for:
+
+- Tool result message fields (`is_error`)
+- Sampling parameters (temperature, top_p, etc.)
+- Token limit fields (`max_tokens` vs `max_completion_tokens`)
+- Base URL routing
+
+## Model-Specific Handling
+
+### Kimi Models (is_error Exclusion)
+
+**Affected models:** `kimi-k2.5`, `kimi-k1.5`, `kimi-moonshot`, and any model with `kimi` in the name (case-insensitive)
+
+**Behavior:** The `is_error` field is **excluded** from tool result messages.
+
+**Rationale:** Kimi models (via Moonshot AI and DashScope) reject the `is_error` field with a 400 Bad Request error:
+```json
+{
+  "error": {
+    "type": "invalid_request_error",
+    "message": "Unknown field: is_error"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Detection:**
+```rust
+fn model_rejects_is_error_field(model: &str) -> bool {
+    let lowered = model.to_ascii_lowercase();
+    let canonical = lowered.rsplit('/').next().unwrap_or(lowered.as_str());
+    canonical.starts_with("kimi-")
+}
+```
+
+**Testing:** See `model_rejects_is_error_field_detects_kimi_models` and related tests in `openai_compat.rs`.
+
+---
+
+### Reasoning Models (Tuning Parameter Stripping)
+
+**Affected models:**
+- OpenAI: `o1`, `o1-*`, `o3`, `o3-*`, `o4`, `o4-*`
+- xAI: `grok-3-mini`
+- Alibaba DashScope: `qwen-qwq-*`, `qwq-*`, `qwen3-*-thinking`
+
+**Behavior:** The following tuning parameters are **stripped** from requests:
+- `temperature`
+- `top_p`
+- `frequency_penalty`
+- `presence_penalty`
+
+**Rationale:** Reasoning/chain-of-thought models use fixed sampling strategies and reject these parameters with 400 errors.
+
+**Exception:** `reasoning_effort` is included for compatible models when explicitly set.
+
+**Detection:**
+```rust
+fn is_reasoning_model(model: &str) -> bool {
+    let canonical = model.to_ascii_lowercase()
+        .rsplit('/')
+        .next()
+        .unwrap_or(model);
+    canonical.starts_with("o1")
+        || canonical.starts_with("o3")
+        || canonical.starts_with("o4")
+        || canonical == "grok-3-mini"
+        || canonical.starts_with("qwen-qwq")
+        || canonical.starts_with("qwq")
+        || (canonical.starts_with("qwen3") && canonical.contains("-thinking"))
+}
+```
+
+**Testing:** See `reasoning_model_strips_tuning_params`, `grok_3_mini_is_reasoning_model`, and `qwen_reasoning_variants_are_detected` tests.
+
+---
+
+### GPT-5 (max_completion_tokens)
+
+**Affected models:** All models starting with `gpt-5`
+
+**Behavior:** Uses `max_completion_tokens` instead of `max_tokens` in the request payload.
+
+**Rationale:** GPT-5 models require the `max_completion_tokens` field. Legacy `max_tokens` causes request validation failures:
+```json
+{
+  "error": {
+    "message": "Unknown field: max_tokens"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Implementation:**
+```rust
+let max_tokens_key = if wire_model.starts_with("gpt-5") {
+    "max_completion_tokens"
+} else {
+    "max_tokens"
+};
+```
+
+**Testing:** See `gpt5_uses_max_completion_tokens_not_max_tokens` and `non_gpt5_uses_max_tokens` tests.
+
+---
+
+### Qwen Models (DashScope Routing)
+
+**Affected models:** All models with `qwen` prefix
+
+**Behavior:** Routed to DashScope (`https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1`) rather than default providers.
+
+**Rationale:** Qwen models are hosted by Alibaba Cloud's DashScope service, not OpenAI or Anthropic.
+
+**Configuration:**
+```rust
+pub const DEFAULT_DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL: &str = "https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1";
+```
+
+**Authentication:** Uses `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY` environment variable.
+
+**Note:** Some Qwen models are also reasoning models (see [Reasoning Models](#reasoning-models-tuning-parameter-stripping) above) and receive both treatments.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### File Location
+All model-specific logic is in:
+```
+rust/crates/api/src/providers/openai_compat.rs
+```
+
+### Key Functions
+
+| Function | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| `model_rejects_is_error_field()` | Detects models that don't support `is_error` in tool results |
+| `is_reasoning_model()` | Detects reasoning models that need tuning param stripping |
+| `translate_message()` | Converts internal messages to OpenAI format (applies `is_error` logic) |
+| `build_chat_completion_request()` | Constructs full request payload (applies all model-specific logic) |
+
+### Provider Prefix Handling
+
+All model detection functions strip provider prefixes (e.g., `dashscope/kimi-k2.5` → `kimi-k2.5`) before matching:
+
+```rust
+let canonical = model.to_ascii_lowercase()
+    .rsplit('/')
+    .next()
+    .unwrap_or(model);
+```
+
+This ensures consistent detection regardless of whether models are referenced with or without provider prefixes.
+
+## Adding New Models
+
+When adding support for new models:
+
+1. **Check if the model is a reasoning model**
+   - Does it reject temperature/top_p parameters?
+   - Add to `is_reasoning_model()` detection
+
+2. **Check tool result compatibility**
+   - Does it reject the `is_error` field?
+   - Add to `model_rejects_is_error_field()` detection
+
+3. **Check token limit field**
+   - Does it require `max_completion_tokens` instead of `max_tokens`?
+   - Update the `max_tokens_key` logic
+
+4. **Add tests**
+   - Unit test for detection function
+   - Integration test in `build_chat_completion_request`
+
+5. **Update this documentation**
+   - Add the model to the affected lists
+   - Document any special behavior
+
+## Testing
+
+### Running Model-Specific Tests
+
+```bash
+# All OpenAI compatibility tests
+cargo test --package api providers::openai_compat
+
+# Specific test categories
+cargo test --package api model_rejects_is_error_field
+cargo test --package api reasoning_model
+cargo test --package api gpt5
+cargo test --package api qwen
+```
+
+### Test Files
+
+- Unit tests: `rust/crates/api/src/providers/openai_compat.rs` (in `mod tests`)
+- Integration tests: `rust/crates/api/tests/openai_compat_integration.rs`
+
+### Verifying Model Detection
+
+To verify a model is detected correctly without making API calls:
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn my_new_model_is_detected() {
+    // is_error handling
+    assert!(model_rejects_is_error_field("my-model"));
+    
+    // Reasoning model detection
+    assert!(is_reasoning_model("my-model"));
+    
+    // Provider prefix handling
+    assert!(model_rejects_is_error_field("provider/my-model"));
+}
+```

+# Container-first claw-code workflows
+
+This repo already had **container detection** in the Rust runtime before this document was added:
+
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/sandbox.rs` detects Docker/Podman/container markers such as `/.dockerenv`, `/run/.containerenv`, matching env vars, and `/proc/1/cgroup` hints.
+- `rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/main.rs` exposes that state through the `claw sandbox` / `cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- sandbox` report.
+- `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` runs on `ubuntu-latest`, but it does **not** define a Docker or Podman container job.
+- Before this change, the repo did **not** have a checked-in `Dockerfile`, `Containerfile`, or `.devcontainer/` config.
+
+This document adds a small checked-in `Containerfile` so Docker and Podman users have one canonical container workflow.
+
+## What the checked-in container image is for
+
+The root [`../Containerfile`](../Containerfile) gives you a reusable Rust build/test shell with the extra packages this workspace commonly needs (`git`, `pkg-config`, `libssl-dev`, certificates).
+
+It does **not** copy the repository into the image. Instead, the recommended flow is to bind-mount your checkout into `/workspace` so edits stay on the host.
+
+## Build the image
+
+From the repository root:
+
+### Docker
+
+```bash
+docker build -t claw-code-dev -f Containerfile .
+```
+
+### Podman
+
+```bash
+podman build -t claw-code-dev -f Containerfile .
+```
+
+## Run `cargo test --workspace` in the container
+
+These commands mount the repo, keep Cargo build artifacts out of the working tree, and run from the Rust workspace at `rust/`.
+
+### Docker
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -it \
+  -v "$PWD":/workspace \
+  -e CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/claw-target \
+  -w /workspace/rust \
+  claw-code-dev \
+  cargo test --workspace
+```
+
+### Podman
+
+```bash
+podman run --rm -it \
+  -v "$PWD":/workspace:Z \
+  -e CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/claw-target \
+  -w /workspace/rust \
+  claw-code-dev \
+  cargo test --workspace
+```
+
+If you want a fully clean rebuild, add `cargo clean &&` before `cargo test --workspace`.
+
+## Open a shell in the container
+
+### Docker
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -it \
+  -v "$PWD":/workspace \
+  -e CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/claw-target \
+  -w /workspace/rust \
+  claw-code-dev
+```
+
+### Podman
+
+```bash
+podman run --rm -it \
+  -v "$PWD":/workspace:Z \
+  -e CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/claw-target \
+  -w /workspace/rust \
+  claw-code-dev
+```
+
+Inside the shell:
+
+```bash
+cargo build --workspace
+cargo test --workspace
+cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --help
+cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- sandbox
+```
+
+The `sandbox` command is a useful sanity check: inside Docker or Podman it should report `In container true` and list the markers the runtime detected.
+
+## Bind-mount this repo and another repo at the same time
+
+If you want to run `claw` against a second checkout while keeping `claw-code` itself mounted read-write:
+
+### Docker
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -it \
+  -v "$PWD":/workspace \
+  -v "$HOME/src/other-repo":/repo \
+  -e CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/claw-target \
+  -w /workspace/rust \
+  claw-code-dev
+```
+
+### Podman
+
+```bash
+podman run --rm -it \
+  -v "$PWD":/workspace:Z \
+  -v "$HOME/src/other-repo":/repo:Z \
+  -e CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/claw-target \
+  -w /workspace/rust \
+  claw-code-dev
+```
+
+Then, for example:
+
+```bash
+cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- prompt "summarize /repo"
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Docker and Podman use the same checked-in `Containerfile`.
+- The `:Z` suffix in the Podman examples is for SELinux relabeling; keep it on Fedora/RHEL-class hosts.
+- Running with `CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/claw-target` avoids leaving container-owned `target/` artifacts in your bind-mounted checkout.
+- For non-container local development, keep using [`../USAGE.md`](../USAGE.md) and [`../rust/README.md`](../rust/README.md).

+# TUI Enhancement Plan — Claw Code (`rusty-claude-cli`)
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This plan covers a comprehensive analysis of the current terminal user interface and proposes phased enhancements that will transform the existing REPL/prompt CLI into a polished, modern TUI experience — while preserving the existing clean architecture and test coverage.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Current Architecture Analysis
+
+### Crate Map
+
+| Crate | Purpose | Lines | TUI Relevance |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `rusty-claude-cli` | Main binary: REPL loop, arg parsing, rendering, API bridge | ~3,600 | **Primary TUI surface** |
+| `runtime` | Session, conversation loop, config, permissions, compaction | ~5,300 | Provides data/state |
+| `api` | Anthropic HTTP client + SSE streaming | ~1,500 | Provides stream events |
+| `commands` | Slash command metadata/parsing/help | ~470 | Drives command dispatch |
+| `tools` | 18 built-in tool implementations | ~3,500 | Tool execution display |
+
+### Current TUI Components
+
+| Component | File | What It Does Today | Quality |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **Input** | `input.rs` (269 lines) | `rustyline`-based line editor with slash-command tab completion, Shift+Enter newline, history | ✅ Solid |
+| **Rendering** | `render.rs` (641 lines) | Markdown→terminal rendering (headings, lists, tables, code blocks with syntect highlighting, blockquotes), spinner widget | ✅ Good |
+| **App/REPL loop** | `main.rs` (3,159 lines) | The monolithic `LiveCli` struct: REPL loop, all slash command handlers, streaming output, tool call display, permission prompting, session management | ⚠️ Monolithic |
+| **Alt App** | `app.rs` (398 lines) | An earlier `CliApp` prototype with `ConversationClient`, stream event handling, `TerminalRenderer`, output format support | ⚠️ Appears unused/legacy |
+
+### Key Dependencies
+
+- **crossterm 0.28** — terminal control (cursor, colors, clear)
+- **pulldown-cmark 0.13** — Markdown parsing
+- **syntect 5** — syntax highlighting
+- **rustyline 15** — line editing with completion
+- **serde_json** — tool I/O formatting
+
+### Strengths
+
+1. **Clean rendering pipeline**: Markdown rendering is well-structured with state tracking, table rendering, code highlighting
+2. **Rich tool display**: Tool calls get box-drawing borders (`╭─ name ─╮`), results show ✓/✗ icons
+3. **Comprehensive slash commands**: 15 commands covering model switching, permissions, sessions, config, diff, export
+4. **Session management**: Full persistence, resume, list, switch, compaction
+5. **Permission prompting**: Interactive Y/N approval for restricted tool calls
+6. **Thorough tests**: Every formatting function, every parse path has unit tests
+
+### Weaknesses & Gaps
+
+1. **`main.rs` is a 3,159-line monolith** — all REPL logic, formatting, API bridging, session management, and tests in one file
+2. **No alternate-screen / full-screen layout** — everything is inline scrolling output
+3. **No progress bars** — only a single braille spinner; no indication of streaming progress or token counts during generation
+4. **No visual diff rendering** — `/diff` just dumps raw git diff text
+5. **No syntax highlighting in streamed output** — markdown rendering only applies to tool results, not to the main assistant response stream
+6. **No status bar / HUD** — model, tokens, session info not visible during interaction
+7. **No image/attachment preview** — `SendUserMessage` resolves attachments but never displays them
+8. **Streaming is char-by-char with artificial delay** — `stream_markdown` sleeps 8ms per whitespace-delimited chunk
+9. **No color theme customization** — hardcoded `ColorTheme::default()`
+10. **No resize handling** — no terminal size awareness for wrapping, truncation, or layout
+11. **Dual app structs** — `app.rs` has a separate `CliApp` that duplicates `LiveCli` from `main.rs`
+12. **No pager for long outputs** — `/status`, `/config`, `/memory` can overflow the viewport
+13. **Tool results not collapsible** — large bash outputs flood the screen
+14. **No thinking/reasoning indicator** — when the model is in "thinking" mode, no visual distinction
+15. **No auto-complete for tool arguments** — only slash command names complete
+
+---
+
+## 2. Enhancement Plan
+
+### Phase 0: Structural Cleanup (Foundation)
+
+**Goal**: Break the monolith, remove dead code, establish the module structure for TUI work.
+
+| Task | Description | Effort |
+|---|---|---|
+| 0.1 | **Extract `LiveCli` into `app.rs`** — Move the entire `LiveCli` struct, its impl, and helpers (`format_*`, `render_*`, session management) out of `main.rs` into focused modules: `app.rs` (core), `format.rs` (report formatting), `session_manager.rs` (session CRUD) | M |
+| 0.2 | **Remove or merge the legacy `CliApp`** — The existing `app.rs` has an unused `CliApp` with its own `ConversationClient`-based rendering. Either delete it or merge its unique features (stream event handler pattern) into the active `LiveCli` | S |
+| 0.3 | **Extract `main.rs` arg parsing** — The current `parse_args()` is a hand-rolled parser that duplicates the clap-based `args.rs`. Consolidate on the hand-rolled parser (it's more feature-complete) and move it to `args.rs`, or adopt clap fully | S |
+| 0.4 | **Create a `tui/` module** — Introduce `crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/tui/mod.rs` as the namespace for all new TUI components: `status_bar.rs`, `layout.rs`, `tool_panel.rs`, etc. | S |
+
+### Phase 1: Status Bar & Live HUD
+
+**Goal**: Persistent information display during interaction.
+
+| Task | Description | Effort |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1.1 | **Terminal-size-aware status line** — Use `crossterm::terminal::size()` to render a bottom-pinned status bar showing: model name, permission mode, session ID, cumulative token count, estimated cost | M |
+| 1.2 | **Live token counter** — Update the status bar in real-time as `AssistantEvent::Usage` and `AssistantEvent::TextDelta` events arrive during streaming | M |
+| 1.3 | **Turn duration timer** — Show elapsed time for the current turn (the `showTurnDuration` config already exists in Config tool but isn't wired up) | S |
+| 1.4 | **Git branch indicator** — Display the current git branch in the status bar (already parsed via `parse_git_status_metadata`) | S |
+
+### Phase 2: Enhanced Streaming Output
+
+**Goal**: Make the main response stream visually rich and responsive.
+
+| Task | Description | Effort |
+|---|---|---|
+| 2.1 | **Live markdown rendering** — Instead of raw text streaming, buffer text deltas and incrementally render Markdown as it arrives (heading detection, bold/italic, inline code). The existing `TerminalRenderer::render_markdown` can be adapted for incremental use | L |
+| 2.2 | **Thinking indicator** — When extended thinking/reasoning is active, show a distinct animated indicator (e.g., `🧠 Reasoning...` with pulsing dots or a different spinner) instead of the generic `🦀 Thinking...` | S |
+| 2.3 | **Streaming progress bar** — Add an optional horizontal progress indicator below the spinner showing approximate completion (based on max_tokens vs. output_tokens so far) | M |
+| 2.4 | **Remove artificial stream delay** — The current `stream_markdown` sleeps 8ms per chunk. For tool results this is fine, but for the main response stream it should be immediate or configurable | S |
+
+### Phase 3: Tool Call Visualization
+
+**Goal**: Make tool execution legible and navigable.
+
+| Task | Description | Effort |
+|---|---|---|
+| 3.1 | **Collapsible tool output** — For tool results longer than N lines (configurable, default 15), show a summary with `[+] Expand` hint; pressing a key reveals the full output. Initially implement as truncation with a "full output saved to file" fallback | M |
+| 3.2 | **Syntax-highlighted tool results** — When tool results contain code (detected by tool name — `bash` stdout, `read_file` content, `REPL` output), apply syntect highlighting rather than rendering as plain text | M |
+| 3.3 | **Tool call timeline** — For multi-tool turns, show a compact summary: `🔧 bash → ✓ | read_file → ✓ | edit_file → ✓ (3 tools, 1.2s)` after all tool calls complete | S |
+| 3.4 | **Diff-aware edit_file display** — When `edit_file` succeeds, show a colored unified diff of the change instead of just `✓ edit_file: path` | M |
+| 3.5 | **Permission prompt enhancement** — Style the approval prompt with box drawing, color the tool name, show a one-line summary of what the tool will do | S |
+
+### Phase 4: Enhanced Slash Commands & Navigation
+
+**Goal**: Improve information display and add missing features.
+
+| Task | Description | Effort |
+|---|---|---|
+| 4.1 | **Colored `/diff` output** — Parse the git diff and render it with red/green coloring for removals/additions, similar to `delta` or `diff-so-fancy` | M |
+| 4.2 | **Pager for long outputs** — When `/status`, `/config`, `/memory`, or `/diff` produce output longer than the terminal height, pipe through an internal pager (scroll with j/k/q) or external `$PAGER` | M |
+| 4.3 | **`/search` command** — Add a new command to search conversation history by keyword | M |
+| 4.4 | **`/undo` command** — Undo the last file edit by restoring from the `originalFile` data in `write_file`/`edit_file` tool results | M |
+| 4.5 | **Interactive session picker** — Replace the text-based `/session list` with an interactive fuzzy-filterable list (up/down arrows to select, enter to switch) | L |
+| 4.6 | **Tab completion for tool arguments** — Extend `SlashCommandHelper` to complete file paths after `/export`, model names after `/model`, session IDs after `/session switch` | M |
+
+### Phase 5: Color Themes & Configuration
+
+**Goal**: User-customizable visual appearance.
+
+| Task | Description | Effort |
+|---|---|---|
+| 5.1 | **Named color themes** — Add `dark` (current default), `light`, `solarized`, `catppuccin` themes. Wire to the existing `Config` tool's `theme` setting | M |
+| 5.2 | **ANSI-256 / truecolor detection** — Detect terminal capabilities and fall back gracefully (no colors → 16 colors → 256 → truecolor) | M |
+| 5.3 | **Configurable spinner style** — Allow choosing between braille dots, bar, moon phases, etc. | S |
+| 5.4 | **Banner customization** — Make the ASCII art banner optional or configurable via settings | S |
+
+### Phase 6: Full-Screen TUI Mode (Stretch)
+
+**Goal**: Optional alternate-screen layout for power users.
+
+| Task | Description | Effort |
+|---|---|---|
+| 6.1 | **Add `ratatui` dependency** — Introduce `ratatui` (terminal UI framework) as an optional dependency for the full-screen mode | S |
+| 6.2 | **Split-pane layout** — Top pane: conversation with scrollback; Bottom pane: input area; Right sidebar (optional): tool status/todo list | XL |
+| 6.3 | **Scrollable conversation view** — Navigate past messages with PgUp/PgDn, search within conversation | L |
+| 6.4 | **Keyboard shortcuts panel** — Show `?` help overlay with all keybindings | M |
+| 6.5 | **Mouse support** — Click to expand tool results, scroll conversation, select text for copy | L |
+
+---
+
+## 3. Priority Recommendation
+
+### Immediate (High Impact, Moderate Effort)
+
+1. **Phase 0** — Essential cleanup. The 3,159-line `main.rs` is the #1 maintenance risk and blocks clean TUI additions.
+2. **Phase 1.1–1.2** — Status bar with live tokens. Highest-impact UX win: users constantly want to know token usage.
+3. **Phase 2.4** — Remove artificial delay. Low effort, immediately noticeable improvement.
+4. **Phase 3.1** — Collapsible tool output. Large bash outputs currently wreck readability.
+
+### Near-Term (Next Sprint)
+
+5. **Phase 2.1** — Live markdown rendering. Makes the core interaction feel polished.
+6. **Phase 3.2** — Syntax-highlighted tool results.
+7. **Phase 3.4** — Diff-aware edit display.
+8. **Phase 4.1** — Colored diff for `/diff`.
+
+### Longer-Term
+
+9. **Phase 5** — Color themes (user demand-driven).
+10. **Phase 4.2–4.6** — Enhanced navigation and commands.
+11. **Phase 6** — Full-screen mode (major undertaking, evaluate after earlier phases ship).
+
+---
+
+## 4. Architecture Recommendations
+
+### Module Structure After Phase 0
+
+```
+crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/
+├── main.rs              # Entrypoint, arg dispatch only (~100 lines)
+├── args.rs              # CLI argument parsing (consolidate existing two parsers)
+├── app.rs               # LiveCli struct, REPL loop, turn execution
+├── format.rs            # All report formatting (status, cost, model, permissions, etc.)
+├── session_mgr.rs       # Session CRUD: create, resume, list, switch, persist
+├── init.rs              # Repo initialization (unchanged)
+├── input.rs             # Line editor (unchanged, minor extensions)
+├── render.rs            # TerminalRenderer, Spinner (extended)
+└── tui/
+    ├── mod.rs           # TUI module root
+    ├── status_bar.rs    # Persistent bottom status line
+    ├── tool_panel.rs    # Tool call visualization (boxes, timelines, collapsible)
+    ├── diff_view.rs     # Colored diff rendering
+    ├── pager.rs         # Internal pager for long outputs
+    └── theme.rs         # Color theme definitions and selection
+```
+
+### Key Design Principles
+
+1. **Keep the inline REPL as the default** — Full-screen TUI should be opt-in (`--tui` flag)
+2. **Everything testable without a terminal** — All formatting functions take `&mut impl Write`, never assume stdout directly
+3. **Streaming-first** — Rendering should work incrementally, not buffering the entire response
+4. **Respect `crossterm` for all terminal control** — Don't mix raw ANSI escape codes with crossterm (the current codebase does this in the startup banner)
+5. **Feature-gate heavy dependencies** — `ratatui` should be behind a `full-tui` feature flag
+
+---
+
+## 5. Risk Assessment
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|---|---|
+| Breaking the working REPL during refactor | Phase 0 is pure restructuring with existing test coverage as safety net |
+| Terminal compatibility issues (tmux, SSH, Windows) | Rely on crossterm's abstraction; test in degraded environments |
+| Performance regression with rich rendering | Profile before/after; keep the fast path (raw streaming) always available |
+| Scope creep into Phase 6 | Ship Phases 0–3 as a coherent release before starting Phase 6 |
+| `app.rs` vs `main.rs` confusion | Phase 0.2 explicitly resolves this by removing the legacy `CliApp` |
+

+
+This file provides guidance to Claw Code (clawcode.dev) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Detected stack
+- Languages: Rust.
+- Frameworks: none detected from the supported starter markers.
+
+## Verification
+- Run Rust verification from the repo root: `cargo fmt`, `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`, `cargo test --workspace`
+
+## Working agreement
+- Prefer small, reviewable changes and keep generated bootstrap files aligned with actual repo workflows.
+- Keep shared defaults in `.claw.json`; reserve `.claw/settings.local.json` for machine-local overrides.
+- Do not overwrite existing `CLAUDE.md` content automatically; update it intentionally when repo workflows change.

+# Mock LLM parity harness
+
+This milestone adds a deterministic Anthropic-compatible mock service plus a reproducible CLI harness for the Rust `claw` binary.
+
+## Artifacts
+
+- `crates/mock-anthropic-service/` — mock `/v1/messages` service
+- `crates/rusty-claude-cli/tests/mock_parity_harness.rs` — end-to-end clean-environment harness
+- `scripts/run_mock_parity_harness.sh` — convenience wrapper
+
+## Scenarios
+
+The harness runs these scripted scenarios against a fresh workspace and isolated environment variables:
+
+1. `streaming_text`
+2. `read_file_roundtrip`
+3. `grep_chunk_assembly`
+4. `write_file_allowed`
+5. `write_file_denied`
+6. `multi_tool_turn_roundtrip`
+7. `bash_stdout_roundtrip`
+8. `bash_permission_prompt_approved`
+9. `bash_permission_prompt_denied`
+10. `plugin_tool_roundtrip`
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+cd rust/
+./scripts/run_mock_parity_harness.sh
+```
+
+Behavioral checklist / parity diff:
+
+```bash
+cd rust/
+python3 scripts/run_mock_parity_diff.py
+```
+
+Scenario-to-PARITY mappings live in `mock_parity_scenarios.json`.
+
+## Manual mock server
+
+```bash
+cd rust/
+cargo run -p mock-anthropic-service -- --bind 127.0.0.1:0
+```
+
+The server prints `MOCK_ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=...`; point `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` at that URL and use any non-empty `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`.

+### Real Implementations (behavioral parity — varying depth)
+
+| Tool | Rust Impl | Behavioral Notes |
+|------|-----------|-----------------|
+| **bash** | `runtime::bash` 283 LOC | subprocess exec, timeout, background, sandbox — **strong parity**. 9/9 requested validation submodules are now tracked as complete via `36dac6c`, with on-main sandbox + permission enforcement runtime support |
+| **read_file** | `runtime::file_ops` | offset/limit read — **good parity** |
+| **write_file** | `runtime::file_ops` | file create/overwrite — **good parity** |
+| **edit_file** | `runtime::file_ops` | old/new string replacement — **good parity**. Missing: replace_all was recently added |
+| **glob_search** | `runtime::file_ops` | glob pattern matching — **good parity** |
+| **grep_search** | `runtime::file_ops` | ripgrep-style search — **good parity** |
+| **WebFetch** | `tools` | URL fetch + content extraction — **moderate parity** (need to verify content truncation, redirect handling vs upstream) |
+| **WebSearch** | `tools` | search query execution — **moderate parity** |
+| **TodoWrite** | `tools` | todo/note persistence — **moderate parity** |
+| **Skill** | `tools` | skill discovery/install — **moderate parity** |
+| **Agent** | `tools` | agent delegation — **moderate parity** |
+| **TaskCreate** | `runtime::task_registry` + `tools` | in-memory task creation wired into tool dispatch — **good parity** |
+| **TaskGet** | `runtime::task_registry` + `tools` | task lookup + metadata payload — **good parity** |
+| **TaskList** | `runtime::task_registry` + `tools` | registry-backed task listing — **good parity** |
+| **TaskStop** | `runtime::task_registry` + `tools` | terminal-state stop handling — **good parity** |
+| **TaskUpdate** | `runtime::task_registry` + `tools` | registry-backed message updates — **good parity** |

+| **TeamCreate** | `runtime::team_cron_registry` + `tools` | team lifecycle + task assignment — **good parity** |
+| **TeamDelete** | `runtime::team_cron_registry` + `tools` | team delete lifecycle — **good parity** |
+| **CronCreate** | `runtime::team_cron_registry` + `tools` | cron entry creation — **good parity** |
+| **CronDelete** | `runtime::team_cron_registry` + `tools` | cron entry removal — **good parity** |
+| **CronList** | `runtime::team_cron_registry` + `tools` | registry-backed cron listing — **good parity** |
+| **LSP** | `runtime::lsp_client` + `tools` | registry + dispatch for diagnostics, hover, definition, references, completion, symbols, formatting — **good parity** |
+| **ListMcpResources** | `runtime::mcp_tool_bridge` + `tools` | connected-server resource listing — **good parity** |
+| **ReadMcpResource** | `runtime::mcp_tool_bridge` + `tools` | connected-server resource reads — **good parity** |
+| **MCP** | `runtime::mcp_tool_bridge` + `tools` | stateful MCP tool invocation bridge — **good parity** |
+| **ToolSearch** | `tools` | tool discovery — **good parity** |
+| **NotebookEdit** | `tools` | jupyter notebook cell editing — **moderate parity** |

+
+### Stubs Only (surface parity, no behavior)
+
+| Tool | Status | Notes |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| **AskUserQuestion** | stub | needs live user I/O integration |
+| **McpAuth** | stub | needs full auth UX beyond the MCP lifecycle bridge |
+| **RemoteTrigger** | stub | needs HTTP client |
+| **TestingPermission** | stub | test-only, low priority |
+
+## Slash Commands: 67/141 upstream entries
+
+- 27 original specs (pre-today) — all with real handlers
+- 40 new specs — parse + stub handler ("not yet implemented")
+- Remaining ~74 upstream entries are internal modules/dialogs/steps, not user `/commands`
+
+### Behavioral Feature Checkpoints (completed work + remaining gaps)
+
+**Bash tool — 9/9 requested validation submodules complete:**
+- [x] `sedValidation` — validate sed commands before execution
+- [x] `pathValidation` — validate file paths in commands
+- [x] `readOnlyValidation` — block writes in read-only mode
+- [x] `destructiveCommandWarning` — warn on rm -rf, etc.
+- [x] `commandSemantics` — classify command intent
+- [x] `bashPermissions` — permission gating per command type
+- [x] `bashSecurity` — security checks
+- [x] `modeValidation` — validate against current permission mode
+- [x] `shouldUseSandbox` — sandbox decision logic
+
+Harness note: milestone 2 validates bash success plus workspace-write escalation approve/deny flows; dedicated validation submodules landed in `36dac6c`, and on-main runtime also carries sandbox + permission enforcement.
+
+**File tools — completed checkpoint:**
+- [x] Path traversal prevention (symlink following, ../ escapes)
+- [x] Size limits on read/write
+- [x] Binary file detection
+- [x] Permission mode enforcement (read-only vs workspace-write)
+
+Harness note: read_file, grep_search, write_file allow/deny, and multi-tool same-turn assembly are now covered by the mock parity harness; file edge cases + permission enforcement landed in `a98f2b6` and `336f820`.
+
+**Config/Plugin/MCP flows:**
+- [x] Full MCP server lifecycle (connect, list tools, call tool, disconnect)
+- [ ] Plugin install/enable/disable/uninstall full flow
+- [ ] Config merge precedence (user > project > local)
+
+Harness note: external plugin discovery + execution is now covered via `plugin_tool_roundtrip`; MCP lifecycle landed in `cc0f92e`, while plugin lifecycle + config merge precedence remain open.
+
+## Runtime Behavioral Gaps
+
+- [x] Permission enforcement across all tools (read-only, workspace-write, danger-full-access)
+- [ ] Output truncation (large stdout/file content)
+- [ ] Session compaction behavior matching
+- [ ] Token counting / cost tracking accuracy
+- [x] Streaming response support validated by the mock parity harness
+
+Harness note: current coverage now includes write-file denial, bash escalation approve/deny, and plugin workspace-write execution paths; permission enforcement landed in `336f820`.
+
+## Migration Readiness
+
+- [x] `PARITY.md` maintained and honest
+- [ ] No `#[ignore]` tests hiding failures (only 1 allowed: `live_stream_smoke_test`)
+- [ ] CI green on every commit
+- [ ] Codebase shape clean for handoff

-# Rusty Claude CLI
+# 🦞 Claw Code — Rust Implementation
 
-`rust/` contains the Rust workspace for the integrated `rusty-claude-cli` deliverable.
-It is intended to be something you can clone, build, and run directly.
+A high-performance Rust rewrite of the Claw Code CLI agent harness. Built for speed, safety, and native tool execution.
 
-## Workspace layout
+For a task-oriented guide with copy/paste examples, see [`../USAGE.md`](../USAGE.md).
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Inspect available commands
+cd rust/
+cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --help
+
+# Build the workspace
+cargo build --workspace
+
+# Run the interactive REPL
+cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --model claude-opus-4-6
+
+# One-shot prompt
+cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- prompt "explain this codebase"
+
+# JSON output for automation
+cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --output-format json prompt "summarize src/main.rs"
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Set your API credentials:
+
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
+# Or use a proxy
+export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://your-proxy.com"
+```
+
+Or provide an OAuth bearer token directly:
+
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="anthropic-oauth-or-proxy-bearer-token"
+```
+
+## Mock parity harness
+
+The workspace now includes a deterministic Anthropic-compatible mock service and a clean-environment CLI harness for end-to-end parity checks.
+
+```bash
+cd rust/
+
+# Run the scripted clean-environment harness
+./scripts/run_mock_parity_harness.sh
+
+# Or start the mock service manually for ad hoc CLI runs
+cargo run -p mock-anthropic-service -- --bind 127.0.0.1:0
+```
+
+Harness coverage:
+
+- `streaming_text`
+- `read_file_roundtrip`
+- `grep_chunk_assembly`
+- `write_file_allowed`
+- `write_file_denied`
+- `multi_tool_turn_roundtrip`
+- `bash_stdout_roundtrip`
+- `bash_permission_prompt_approved`
+- `bash_permission_prompt_denied`
+- `plugin_tool_roundtrip`
+
+Primary artifacts:
+
+- `crates/mock-anthropic-service/` — reusable mock Anthropic-compatible service
+- `crates/rusty-claude-cli/tests/mock_parity_harness.rs` — clean-env CLI harness

-## Prerequisites
+`claw acp` is a local discoverability surface for editor-first users: it reports the current ACP/Zed status without starting the runtime. As of April 16, 2026, claw-code does **not** ship an ACP/Zed daemon entrypoint yet, and `claw acp serve` is only a status alias until the real protocol surface lands.
 
-- Rust toolchain installed (`rustup`, stable toolchain)
-- Network access and Anthropic credentials for live prompt/REPL usage
-
-## Build
-
-From the repository root:
+The command surface is moving quickly. For the canonical live help text, run:
 
 ```bash
-cd rust
-cargo build --release -p rusty-claude-cli
-```
-
-The optimized binary will be written to:
-
-```bash
-./target/release/rusty-claude-cli
-```
-
-## Test
-
-Run the verified workspace test suite used for release-readiness:
-
-```bash
-cd rust
-cargo test --workspace --exclude compat-harness
-```
-
-## Quick start
-
-### Show help
-
-```bash
-cd rust
 cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --help
 ```
 
-### Print version
+## Slash Commands (REPL)
 
-```bash
-cd rust
-cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --version
-```
+Tab completion expands slash commands, model aliases, permission modes, and recent session IDs.
 
-### Login with OAuth
+The REPL now exposes a much broader surface than the original minimal shell:
 
-Configure `settings.json` with an `oauth` block containing `clientId`, `authorizeUrl`, `tokenUrl`, optional `callbackPort`, and optional `scopes`, then run:
+- session / visibility: `/help`, `/status`, `/sandbox`, `/cost`, `/resume`, `/session`, `/version`, `/usage`, `/stats`
+- workspace / git: `/compact`, `/clear`, `/config`, `/memory`, `/init`, `/diff`, `/commit`, `/pr`, `/issue`, `/export`, `/hooks`, `/files`, `/release-notes`
+- discovery / debugging: `/mcp`, `/agents`, `/skills`, `/doctor`, `/tasks`, `/context`, `/desktop`
+- automation / analysis: `/review`, `/advisor`, `/insights`, `/security-review`, `/subagent`, `/team`, `/telemetry`, `/providers`, `/cron`, and more
+- plugin management: `/plugin` (with aliases `/plugins`, `/marketplace`)
 
-```bash
-cd rust
-cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- login
-```
+Notable claw-first surfaces now available directly in slash form:
+- `/skills [list|install <path>|help]`
+- `/agents [list|help]`
+- `/mcp [list|show <server>|help]`
+- `/doctor`
+- `/plugin [list|install <path>|enable <name>|disable <name>|uninstall <id>|update <id>]`
+- `/subagent [list|steer <target> <msg>|kill <id>]`
 
-This opens the browser, listens on the configured localhost callback, exchanges the auth code for tokens, and stores OAuth credentials in `~/.claude/credentials.json` (or `$CLAUDE_CONFIG_HOME/credentials.json`).
+See [`../USAGE.md`](../USAGE.md) for usage examples and run `cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --help` for the live canonical command list.
 
-### Logout
-
-```bash
-cd rust
-cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- logout
-```
-
-This removes only the stored OAuth credentials and preserves unrelated JSON fields in `credentials.json`.
-
-### Self-update
-
-```bash
-cd rust
-cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- self-update
-```
-
-The command checks the latest GitHub release for `instructkr/clawd-code`, compares it to the current binary version, downloads the matching binary asset plus checksum manifest, verifies SHA-256, replaces the current executable, and prints the release changelog. If no published release or matching asset exists, it exits safely with an explanatory message.
-
-## Usage examples
-
-### 1) Prompt mode
-
-Send one prompt, stream the answer, then exit:
-
-```bash
-cd rust
-cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- prompt "Summarize the architecture of this repository"
-```
-
-Use a specific model:
-
-```bash
-cd rust
-cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --model claude-sonnet-4-20250514 prompt "List the key crates in this workspace"
-```
-
-Restrict enabled tools in an interactive session:
-
-```bash
-cd rust
-cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --allowedTools read,glob
-```
-
-Bootstrap Claude project files for the current repo:
-
-```bash
-cd rust
-cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- init
-```
-
-### 2) REPL mode
-
-Start the interactive shell:
-
-```bash
-cd rust
-cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli --
-```

+# TUI Enhancement Plan — Claw Code (`rusty-claude-cli`)
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This plan covers a comprehensive analysis of the current terminal user interface and proposes phased enhancements that will transform the existing REPL/prompt CLI into a polished, modern TUI experience — while preserving the existing clean architecture and test coverage.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Current Architecture Analysis
+
+### Crate Map
+
+| Crate | Purpose | Lines | TUI Relevance |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `rusty-claude-cli` | Main binary: REPL loop, arg parsing, rendering, API bridge | ~3,600 | **Primary TUI surface** |
+| `runtime` | Session, conversation loop, config, permissions, compaction | ~5,300 | Provides data/state |
+| `api` | Anthropic HTTP client + SSE streaming | ~1,500 | Provides stream events |
+| `commands` | Slash command metadata/parsing/help | ~470 | Drives command dispatch |
+| `tools` | 18 built-in tool implementations | ~3,500 | Tool execution display |
+
+### Current TUI Components
+
+> Note: The legacy prototype files `app.rs` and `args.rs` were removed on 2026-04-05.
+> References below describe future extraction targets, not current tracked source files.
+
+| Component | File | What It Does Today | Quality |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **Input** | `input.rs` (269 lines) | `rustyline`-based line editor with slash-command tab completion, Shift+Enter newline, history | ✅ Solid |
+| **Rendering** | `render.rs` (641 lines) | Markdown→terminal rendering (headings, lists, tables, code blocks with syntect highlighting, blockquotes), spinner widget | ✅ Good |
+| **App/REPL loop** | `main.rs` (3,159 lines) | The monolithic `LiveCli` struct: REPL loop, all slash command handlers, streaming output, tool call display, permission prompting, session management | ⚠️ Monolithic |
+
+### Key Dependencies
+
+- **crossterm 0.28** — terminal control (cursor, colors, clear)
+- **pulldown-cmark 0.13** — Markdown parsing
+- **syntect 5** — syntax highlighting
+- **rustyline 15** — line editing with completion
+- **serde_json** — tool I/O formatting
+
+### Strengths
+
+1. **Clean rendering pipeline**: Markdown rendering is well-structured with state tracking, table rendering, code highlighting
+2. **Rich tool display**: Tool calls get box-drawing borders (`╭─ name ─╮`), results show ✓/✗ icons
+3. **Comprehensive slash commands**: 15 commands covering model switching, permissions, sessions, config, diff, export
+4. **Session management**: Full persistence, resume, list, switch, compaction
+5. **Permission prompting**: Interactive Y/N approval for restricted tool calls
+6. **Thorough tests**: Every formatting function, every parse path has unit tests
+
+### Weaknesses & Gaps
+
+1. **`main.rs` is a 3,159-line monolith** — all REPL logic, formatting, API bridging, session management, and tests in one file
+2. **No alternate-screen / full-screen layout** — everything is inline scrolling output
+3. **No progress bars** — only a single braille spinner; no indication of streaming progress or token counts during generation
+4. **No visual diff rendering** — `/diff` just dumps raw git diff text
+5. **No syntax highlighting in streamed output** — markdown rendering only applies to tool results, not to the main assistant response stream
+6. **No status bar / HUD** — model, tokens, session info not visible during interaction
+7. **No image/attachment preview** — `SendUserMessage` resolves attachments but never displays them
+8. **Streaming is char-by-char with artificial delay** — `stream_markdown` sleeps 8ms per whitespace-delimited chunk
+9. **No color theme customization** — hardcoded `ColorTheme::default()`
+10. **No resize handling** — no terminal size awareness for wrapping, truncation, or layout
+11. **Historical dual app split** — the repo previously carried a separate `CliApp` prototype alongside `LiveCli`; the prototype is gone, but the monolithic `main.rs` still needs extraction
+12. **No pager for long outputs** — `/status`, `/config`, `/memory` can overflow the viewport
+13. **Tool results not collapsible** — large bash outputs flood the screen
+14. **No thinking/reasoning indicator** — when the model is in "thinking" mode, no visual distinction
+15. **No auto-complete for tool arguments** — only slash command names complete
+
+---
+
+## 2. Enhancement Plan
+
+### Phase 0: Structural Cleanup (Foundation)
+
+**Goal**: Break the monolith, remove dead code, establish the module structure for TUI work.
+
+| Task | Description | Effort |
+|---|---|---|
+| 0.1 | **Extract `LiveCli` into `app.rs`** — Move the entire `LiveCli` struct, its impl, and helpers (`format_*`, `render_*`, session management) out of `main.rs` into focused modules: `app.rs` (core), `format.rs` (report formatting), `session_manager.rs` (session CRUD) | M |
+| 0.2 | **Keep the legacy `CliApp` removed** — The old `CliApp` prototype has already been deleted; if any unique ideas remain valuable (for example stream event handler patterns), reintroduce them intentionally inside the active `LiveCli` extraction rather than restoring the old file wholesale | S |
+| 0.3 | **Extract `main.rs` arg parsing** — The current `parse_args()` is still a hand-rolled parser in `main.rs`. If parsing is extracted later, do it into a newly-introduced module intentionally rather than reviving the removed prototype `args.rs` by accident | S |
+| 0.4 | **Create a `tui/` module** — Introduce `crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/tui/mod.rs` as the namespace for all new TUI components: `status_bar.rs`, `layout.rs`, `tool_panel.rs`, etc. | S |
+
+### Phase 1: Status Bar & Live HUD
+
+**Goal**: Persistent information display during interaction.
+
+| Task | Description | Effort |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1.1 | **Terminal-size-aware status line** — Use `crossterm::terminal::size()` to render a bottom-pinned status bar showing: model name, permission mode, session ID, cumulative token count, estimated cost | M |
+| 1.2 | **Live token counter** — Update the status bar in real-time as `AssistantEvent::Usage` and `AssistantEvent::TextDelta` events arrive during streaming | M |
+| 1.3 | **Turn duration timer** — Show elapsed time for the current turn (the `showTurnDuration` config already exists in Config tool but isn't wired up) | S |
+| 1.4 | **Git branch indicator** — Display the current git branch in the status bar (already parsed via `parse_git_status_metadata`) | S |
+
+### Phase 2: Enhanced Streaming Output
+
+**Goal**: Make the main response stream visually rich and responsive.
+
+| Task | Description | Effort |
+|---|---|---|
+| 2.1 | **Live markdown rendering** — Instead of raw text streaming, buffer text deltas and incrementally render Markdown as it arrives (heading detection, bold/italic, inline code). The existing `TerminalRenderer::render_markdown` can be adapted for incremental use | L |
+| 2.2 | **Thinking indicator** — When extended thinking/reasoning is active, show a distinct animated indicator (e.g., `🧠 Reasoning...` with pulsing dots or a different spinner) instead of the generic `🦀 Thinking...` | S |
+| 2.3 | **Streaming progress bar** — Add an optional horizontal progress indicator below the spinner showing approximate completion (based on max_tokens vs. output_tokens so far) | M |
+| 2.4 | **Remove artificial stream delay** — The current `stream_markdown` sleeps 8ms per chunk. For tool results this is fine, but for the main response stream it should be immediate or configurable | S |
+
+### Phase 3: Tool Call Visualization
+
+**Goal**: Make tool execution legible and navigable.
+
+| Task | Description | Effort |
+|---|---|---|
+| 3.1 | **Collapsible tool output** — For tool results longer than N lines (configurable, default 15), show a summary with `[+] Expand` hint; pressing a key reveals the full output. Initially implement as truncation with a "full output saved to file" fallback | M |
+| 3.2 | **Syntax-highlighted tool results** — When tool results contain code (detected by tool name — `bash` stdout, `read_file` content, `REPL` output), apply syntect highlighting rather than rendering as plain text | M |
+| 3.3 | **Tool call timeline** — For multi-tool turns, show a compact summary: `🔧 bash → ✓ | read_file → ✓ | edit_file → ✓ (3 tools, 1.2s)` after all tool calls complete | S |
+| 3.4 | **Diff-aware edit_file display** — When `edit_file` succeeds, show a colored unified diff of the change instead of just `✓ edit_file: path` | M |
+| 3.5 | **Permission prompt enhancement** — Style the approval prompt with box drawing, color the tool name, show a one-line summary of what the tool will do | S |
+
+### Phase 4: Enhanced Slash Commands & Navigation
+
+**Goal**: Improve information display and add missing features.
+
+| Task | Description | Effort |
+|---|---|---|
+| 4.1 | **Colored `/diff` output** — Parse the git diff and render it with red/green coloring for removals/additions, similar to `delta` or `diff-so-fancy` | M |
+| 4.2 | **Pager for long outputs** — When `/status`, `/config`, `/memory`, or `/diff` produce output longer than the terminal height, pipe through an internal pager (scroll with j/k/q) or external `$PAGER` | M |
+| 4.3 | **`/search` command** — Add a new command to search conversation history by keyword | M |
+| 4.4 | **`/undo` command** — Undo the last file edit by restoring from the `originalFile` data in `write_file`/`edit_file` tool results | M |
+| 4.5 | **Interactive session picker** — Replace the text-based `/session list` with an interactive fuzzy-filterable list (up/down arrows to select, enter to switch) | L |
+| 4.6 | **Tab completion for tool arguments** — Extend `SlashCommandHelper` to complete file paths after `/export`, model names after `/model`, session IDs after `/session switch` | M |
+
+### Phase 5: Color Themes & Configuration
+
+**Goal**: User-customizable visual appearance.
+
+| Task | Description | Effort |
+|---|---|---|
+| 5.1 | **Named color themes** — Add `dark` (current default), `light`, `solarized`, `catppuccin` themes. Wire to the existing `Config` tool's `theme` setting | M |
+| 5.2 | **ANSI-256 / truecolor detection** — Detect terminal capabilities and fall back gracefully (no colors → 16 colors → 256 → truecolor) | M |
+| 5.3 | **Configurable spinner style** — Allow choosing between braille dots, bar, moon phases, etc. | S |
+| 5.4 | **Banner customization** — Make the ASCII art banner optional or configurable via settings | S |
+
+### Phase 6: Full-Screen TUI Mode (Stretch)
+
+**Goal**: Optional alternate-screen layout for power users.
+
+| Task | Description | Effort |
+|---|---|---|
+| 6.1 | **Add `ratatui` dependency** — Introduce `ratatui` (terminal UI framework) as an optional dependency for the full-screen mode | S |
+| 6.2 | **Split-pane layout** — Top pane: conversation with scrollback; Bottom pane: input area; Right sidebar (optional): tool status/todo list | XL |
+| 6.3 | **Scrollable conversation view** — Navigate past messages with PgUp/PgDn, search within conversation | L |
+| 6.4 | **Keyboard shortcuts panel** — Show `?` help overlay with all keybindings | M |
+| 6.5 | **Mouse support** — Click to expand tool results, scroll conversation, select text for copy | L |
+
+---
+
+## 3. Priority Recommendation
+
+### Immediate (High Impact, Moderate Effort)
+
+1. **Phase 0** — Essential cleanup. The 3,159-line `main.rs` is the #1 maintenance risk and blocks clean TUI additions.
+2. **Phase 1.1–1.2** — Status bar with live tokens. Highest-impact UX win: users constantly want to know token usage.
+3. **Phase 2.4** — Remove artificial delay. Low effort, immediately noticeable improvement.
+4. **Phase 3.1** — Collapsible tool output. Large bash outputs currently wreck readability.
+
+### Near-Term (Next Sprint)
+
+5. **Phase 2.1** — Live markdown rendering. Makes the core interaction feel polished.
+6. **Phase 3.2** — Syntax-highlighted tool results.
+7. **Phase 3.4** — Diff-aware edit display.
+8. **Phase 4.1** — Colored diff for `/diff`.
+
+### Longer-Term
+
+9. **Phase 5** — Color themes (user demand-driven).
+10. **Phase 4.2–4.6** — Enhanced navigation and commands.
+11. **Phase 6** — Full-screen mode (major undertaking, evaluate after earlier phases ship).
+
+---
+
+## 4. Architecture Recommendations
+
+### Module Structure After Phase 0
+
+```
+crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/
+├── main.rs              # Entrypoint, arg dispatch only (~100 lines)
+├── args.rs              # CLI argument parsing (consolidate existing two parsers)
+├── app.rs               # LiveCli struct, REPL loop, turn execution
+├── format.rs            # All report formatting (status, cost, model, permissions, etc.)
+├── session_mgr.rs       # Session CRUD: create, resume, list, switch, persist
+├── init.rs              # Repo initialization (unchanged)
+├── input.rs             # Line editor (unchanged, minor extensions)
+├── render.rs            # TerminalRenderer, Spinner (extended)
+└── tui/
+    ├── mod.rs           # TUI module root
+    ├── status_bar.rs    # Persistent bottom status line
+    ├── tool_panel.rs    # Tool call visualization (boxes, timelines, collapsible)
+    ├── diff_view.rs     # Colored diff rendering
+    ├── pager.rs         # Internal pager for long outputs
+    └── theme.rs         # Color theme definitions and selection
+```
+
+### Key Design Principles
+
+1. **Keep the inline REPL as the default** — Full-screen TUI should be opt-in (`--tui` flag)
+2. **Everything testable without a terminal** — All formatting functions take `&mut impl Write`, never assume stdout directly
+3. **Streaming-first** — Rendering should work incrementally, not buffering the entire response
+4. **Respect `crossterm` for all terminal control** — Don't mix raw ANSI escape codes with crossterm (the current codebase does this in the startup banner)
+5. **Feature-gate heavy dependencies** — `ratatui` should be behind a `full-tui` feature flag
+
+---
+
+## 5. Risk Assessment
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|---|---|
+| Breaking the working REPL during refactor | Phase 0 is pure restructuring with existing test coverage as safety net |
+| Terminal compatibility issues (tmux, SSH, Windows) | Rely on crossterm's abstraction; test in degraded environments |
+| Performance regression with rich rendering | Profile before/after; keep the fast path (raw streaming) always available |
+| Scope creep into Phase 6 | Ship Phases 0–3 as a coherent release before starting Phase 6 |
+| Historical `app.rs` vs `main.rs` confusion | Keep the legacy prototype removed and avoid reintroducing a second app surface accidentally during extraction |
