Keep the rebased workspace green after the backlog closeout

The ROADMAP #38 closeout was rebased onto a moving main branch. That pulled in
new workspace files whose clippy/rustfmt fixes were required for the exact
verification gate the user asked for. This follow-up records those remaining
cleanups so the pushed branch matches the green tree that was actually tested.

Constraint: The user-required full-workspace fmt/clippy/test sequence had to stay green after rebasing onto newer origin/main
Rejected: Leave the rebase cleanup uncommitted locally | working tree would stay dirty and the pushed branch would not match the verified code
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: When rebasing onto a moving main, commit any gate-fixing follow-up so pushed history matches the verified tree
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace
Not-tested: No additional behavior beyond the already-green verification sweep

+> [!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
-cd rust
+# 1. Clone and build
+git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code
+cd claw-code/rust
 cargo build --workspace
-./target/debug/claw --help
-./target/debug/claw prompt "summarize this repository"
-```
 
-Authenticate with either an API key or the built-in OAuth flow:
-
-```bash
+# 2. Set your API key (Anthropic API key — not a Claude subscription)
 export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
-# or
-cd rust
-./target/debug/claw login
+
+# 3. Verify everything is wired correctly
+./target/debug/claw doctor
+
+# 4. Run a prompt
+./target/debug/claw prompt "say hello"
 ```
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> **Windows (PowerShell):** the binary is `claw.exe`, not `claw`. Use `.\target\debug\claw.exe` or run `cargo run -- prompt "say hello"` to skip the path lookup.
+
+### Windows setup
+
+**PowerShell is a supported Windows path.** Use whichever shell works for you. The common onboarding issues on Windows are:
+
+1. **Install Rust first** — download from <https://rustup.rs/> and run the installer. Close and reopen your terminal when it finishes.
+2. **Verify Rust is on PATH:**
+   ```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.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> **Auth:** claw requires an **API key** (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, etc.) — Claude subscription login is not a supported auth path.

 **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.
