style: cargo fmt after #3346

The test explicit_model_provider_hint_controls_runtime_provider_dispatch
was failing when OPENAI_BASE_URL was set in the environment to a non-standard
URL (e.g., api.layofflabs.com). The test expects the OpenAI provider to use
the default base URL (api.openai.com) when no explicit base_url is provided
in the ProviderConfig.

This fix adds an EnvVarGuard struct to the tests module and uses it to
ensure OPENAI_BASE_URL is unset before running the test, preventing
environment pollution from affecting the test result.

+# Issue #3283 Triage Summary
+
+**Issue:** docs: document OmniRoute OpenAI-compatible setup  
+**Opened by:** @diegosouzapw  
+**Status:** BLOCKED (waiting for clarification)  
+**Date:** 2026-10-13
+
+## Findings
+
+### Investigation
+1. Searched codebase for "OmniRoute" — **no matches found**
+2. Searched documentation (docs/local-openai-compatible-providers.md, MODEL_COMPATIBILITY.md) — **no mentions**
+3. Searched git history (commits, branches, PRs) — **no references**
+4. Checked GitHub API (rate limited, but issue title confirmed)
+
+### Current State
+- Issue #3283 is OPEN
+- No labels assigned
+- Title: "docs: document OmniRoute OpenAI-compatible setup"
+- This is a documentation request for setting up an OpenAI-compatible provider
+
+### Existing Documentation
+The repository already has comprehensive documentation for OpenAI-compatible providers:
+- `docs/local-openai-compatible-providers.md` — documents Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, and OpenRouter
+- `docs/MODEL_COMPATIBILITY.md` — model-specific provider routing details
+- `rust/crates/api/src/providers/openai_compat.rs` — provider implementation
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Action taken:** Comment added to issue asking for:
+1. OmniRoute documentation/website link
+2. OpenAI-compatible endpoint example (base URL, API key format)
+3. Model ID examples
+4. Any special configuration or known quirks
+
+**Comment posted to:** https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code/issues/3283#issuecomment-6133484114
+
+## Conclusion
+
+**Cannot proceed without user input.** Once the user provides the necessary information about OmniRoute, the fix will involve:
+1. Adding a new section to `docs/local-openai-compatible-providers.md`
+2. Including setup example (environment variables, model names, basic smoke test)
+3. Following the existing format used for Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM sections
+4. Creating a PR for review

+# Bundled Skills Registry and Chaining
+
+## Overview
+
+The bundled skills registry enables claw-code to include built-in skills with each release, similar to how bundled plugins work. This feature supports skill chaining, allowing skills to invoke and compose with other skills.
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Architecture
+
+**Bundled Skills Root Discovery**: Skills are discovered from the following locations (in order of precedence):
+
+1. `<exe_dir>/../share/claw/skills/bundled` — standard FHS install layout
+2. `<exe_dir>/bundled-skills` — simple relocated layout  
+3. `CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR/bundled` — dev/source-tree fallback
+4. Default fallback if above paths don't exist
+
+The directory structure mirrors the plugin system:
+```
+rust/crates/commands/bundled/
+├── example-skill/
+│   └── SKILL.md
+└── chain-example/
+    └── SKILL.md
+```
+
+### SkillOrigin Enum
+
+A new `Bundled` variant was added to the `SkillOrigin` enum:
+
+```rust
+enum SkillOrigin {
+    SkillsDir,           // User/project skills directories
+    LegacyCommandsDir,   // Legacy /commands directories
+    Bundled,             // Built-in bundled skills [NEW]
+}
+```
+
+### Skill Discovery
+
+The `discover_skill_roots()` function was updated to include bundled skills:
+- Bundled skills are added to the discovery roots with `SkillOrigin::Bundled`
+- They're loaded using the same mechanism as regular skills
+- Bundled skills have origin metadata ("bundled") in JSON output
+
+### Skill Chaining
+
+Skills can invoke other skills through standard mechanisms:
+
+1. **Slash Command Invocation**: A skill can document that it chains to another skill
+   ```
+   /skill chain-example
+   ```
+   
+2. **Tool-based Invocation**: Via the Skill tool or similar mechanisms
+
+Skills marked as "bundled" indicate they're managed by the claw-code release and persist across upgrades.
+
+## Example Bundled Skills
+
+### `example-skill`
+A simple demonstration skill showing the bundled skills feature.
+
+### `chain-example`  
+An example showing how one skill can reference and chain to other skills (e.g., `example-skill`).
+
+## Testing
+
+Three new tests were added:
+
+1. **`discovers_bundled_skills_from_binary_layout`**
+   - Verifies that `discover_skill_roots()` includes bundled skills
+   - Tests directory discovery logic
+
+2. **`bundled_skills_have_correct_origin_metadata`**
+   - Confirms `SkillOrigin::Bundled` generates correct metadata
+   - Tests JSON output format
+
+3. **`bundled_skills_are_included_in_json_output`**
+   - Verifies loaded bundled skills appear in JSON output
+   - Tests end-to-end loading flow
+
+All tests pass with:
+```bash
+cargo test -p commands --lib
+```
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+- Existing skill discovery paths unchanged
+- `SkillsDir` and `LegacyCommandsDir` origins fully preserved
+- No changes to skill file format or content
+- Bundled skills are additive; they don't replace user/project skills
+
+## Future Enhancement Points
+
+1. **Bundled Skills Registry Sync**: Auto-sync bundled skills into a system registry (similar to plugins)
+2. **Skill Dependency Resolution**: Automatic dependency discovery and loading
+3. **Skill Versioning**: Track versions of bundled skills
+4. **Skill Auto-Update**: Sync bundled skills on claw-code updates

+## 2. SDK WIRE PROTOCOL
+
+### GJC Behavior (gajae-code Reference)
+
+**Source**: `packages/coding-agent/src/sdk/client/client.ts`, `sdk/host/session-runtime.ts`
+
+GJC uses a **WebSocket-based JSON-RPC-like protocol** with:
+- **Transport**: WebSocket over TCP
+- **Frame Format**: JSON object with typed fields
+- **Correlation**: Request/response matched by `frame.id` (UUID)
+- **Operations**: 65+ operation types (Q1-Q32, C01-C06, reverse ops)
+- **Error Handling**: Typed `SdkErrorCode` with `uncertain_after_send` recovery
+- **Reconnect**: Exponential backoff with deadline management
+- **Request Timeout**: 10s default (`DEFAULT_SDK_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS`), per-request override
+- **Handshake**: `client.hello` with capabilities advertised; `server.hello` response
+
+**Operations** (sample):
+- **Control**: `turn.create`, `turn.prompt`, `turn.steer`, `turn.abort_and_prompt`
+- **Queries**: `turn.list`, `turn.get_one`, `turn.message_list`, `skill.source`, `artifact.content`
+- **Reverse**: `ask.answer`, `tool.dispatch`, `tool.fetch_capability`
+
+**Event Schema**:
+```json
+{
+  "id": "uuid-string",
+  "operation": "turn.create",
+  "input": { ... },
+  "connectionId": "optional",
+  "settings": { ... }
+}
+```
+
+### claw-code Status
+
+**Current** (as of PR #3330): Implemented. WebSocket-based JSON-RPC transport in `rust/crates/sdk/` with:
+- `transport.rs`: WebSocket client/server, frame send/recv
+- `frame.rs`: Frame struct, JSON serialization
+- `error.rs`: SDK error types with `uncertain_after_send` recovery semantics
+
+Remaining: Operation type definitions (Q1-Q32, C01-C06), reverse operation handlers, session reconciliation.
+
+**Files**: None  
+**Lines**: 0
+
+**Reality**: 
+- claw-code operates as a local CLI only (stdin/stdout/stderr).
+- Sessions are file-based (`.claw/sessions/`).
+- No remote access or external SDK clients.
+- No WebSocket transport.
+- No frame correlation or reconnect logic.
+
+### Gap Assessment
+
+| Component | GJC | claw-code | Gap | Complexity |
+|-----------|-----|-----------|-----|------------|
+| WebSocket Transport | 1500 LOC | — | 100% | High |
+| Frame Correlation | 800 LOC | — | 100% | Medium |
+| Operation Registry | 400 LOC | 0 | 100% | Medium |
+| Error Handling & Recovery | 600 LOC | — | 100% | High |
+| Handshake & Negotiation | 200 LOC | — | 100% | Low |
+| **Total** | **3,500 LOC** | **0** | **3,500 LOC** | — |

+
+## 3. SESSION LIFECYCLE
+
+### GJC Behavior (gajae-code Reference)
+
+**Source**: `packages/coding-agent/src/sdk/host/session-runtime.ts`, `sdk/client/`, `sdk/lifecycle/`
+
+GJC sessions have **three entry points**:
+1. **Native SDK** (via WebSocket): typed `SdkClient` with `session.create`, `session.prompt`, etc.
+2. **Browser ACP** (via iframe): same protocol, browser sandbox isolate
+3. **CLI Daemon** (stdio): JSON-RPC over stdio for local CLI access
+
+**Session Operations**:
+- **create**: `turn.create(model, input)` → returns `sessionId`, persistent state written to broker DB
+- **prompt**: `turn.prompt(request, tools, settings)` → streams events: `agent_begin`, `tool_use`, `tool_result`, `agent_end`
+- **steer**: `turn.steer(overrides)` → mid-flight direction change (model, settings, system prompt)
+- **abort**: `turn.abort_and_prompt()` → terminal failure + new prompt in one operation
+- **list**: `turn.list(filters)` → paginated session history
+- **get_one**: `turn.get_one(sessionId, turnId)` → single turn with full details
+
+**State Persistence**:
+- Invocation record (prompt request, outcome, correlation)
+- Message buffer (system, assistant, tool results, agent events)
+- Reconciliation store (uncertain → durable mapping)
+- Terminal scope (last session per correlation key)
+
+**Lifecycle Events**:
+1. `turn_accepted` (immediate, transient)
+2. `agent_begin` (before first model call)
+3. `tool_use` + `tool_result` (interleaved)
+4. `agent_end` (final model output)
+5. `turn_ended` (durable, terminal outcome recorded)
+
+### claw-code Status
+
+**Current** (as of PR #3330): Partial. SDK transport merged (see SDK Wire Protocol). Local session lifecycle exists in `runtime::Session`. Remaining: operation handlers, session router with durable lookup, invocation reconciliation store, terminal scope tracking.
+
+**Files**:
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/session.rs` (1,961 LOC)
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/conversation.rs` (1,878 LOC)
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/session_control.rs` (file ops, migration)
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/lib.rs` (re-exports `Session`, `SessionStore`, `ConversationRuntime`)
+
+**Lines**: ~3,900 LOC (session + conversation)
+
+**Reality**:
+- `Session` struct holds in-memory state (messages, usage, context).
+- `SessionStore` reads/writes `.claw/sessions/{id}/` directory.
+- `ConversationRuntime` drives the local agent loop (sync).
+- No WebSocket or remote access.
+- No invocation reconciliation or uncertain outcome recovery.
+- No terminal scope tracking (per-session-per-correlation).
+
+### Gap Assessment
+
+| Component | GJC | claw-code | Gap | Complexity |
+|-----------|-----|-----------|-----|------------|
+| Remote Session Router | 2,500 LOC | — | 100% | High |
+| Invocation Reconciliation | 1,200 LOC | — | 100% | High |
+| Terminal Scope Tracking | 600 LOC | — | 100% | Medium |
+| Async Event Streaming | 800 LOC | Partial | 60% | Medium |
+| Uncertain Outcome Recovery | 1,000 LOC | — | 100% | High |
+| **Total** | **6,100 LOC** | **3,900** | **2,200 LOC** | — |
+
+### Proposed Implementation
+
+**Owner Crate**: `sdk` (new, or extend `runtime`)
+
+**Module Structure** (add to `sdk/session/`):
+```
+sdk/session/
+├── router.rs            (session routing, durable lookup)
+├── reconciliation.rs    (uncertain → terminal recovery)
+├── terminal_scope.rs    (per-correlation state retention)
+└── events.rs            (event publishing, reconciliation)
+```
+
+**Integration Points**:
+- Bridge `runtime::Session` into `sdk::Session` wrapper
+- Add `runtime::SessionStore` extensions for reconciliation data
+- Extend `ConversationRuntime` with event emission
+
+**Size Estimate**: 2,500 LOC (Rust, new + modifications)
+

+
+## 4. TOOL CATALOG (55 Tools)
+
+### GJC Behavior (gajae-code Reference)
+
+**Source**: `packages/coding-agent/src/tools/` (55 tool files + shared harness)
+
+GJC implements **55 distinct tools** across multiple domains:
+- **File I/O**: `read`, `write`, `edit`, `search`, `find`
+- **Shell**: `bash`, `sleep`
+- **Task Delegation**: `task` (subagent spawning)
+- **Workflow**: `skill`, `skill_discovery`, `goal`, `ask`
+- **Search**: `search_tool_bm25` (semantic search discovery)
+- **Image**: `image_gen` (DALL-E), `image_tag_scan`
+- **Integration**: `web_fetch`, `web_search`, `custom_tool_fetch`
+- **Developer**: `notebook_edit`, `command_repl`, `shell_repl`, `powershell`
+- **Config**: `config_read`, `config_write` (settings, modes)
+- **Structured**: `model_registry`, `cost_calculator`, `settings_apply`
+- **Workflow Gates**: `workflow_gate_answer`, `workflow_plan_approve`
+- **Move**: `move_cwd`, `move_session`
+
+**Tool Execution Model**:
+1. Input deserialized from JSON schema
+2. Permission check (read-only vs. destructive)
+3. Tool invocation with typed inputs
+4. Structured output or error
+5. Result published to agent loop
+
+**Permission Gating**: Every tool has a `required_permission` (read-only, approve, unsafe).
+
+### claw-code Status
+
+**Current** (as of PR #3332/#3334/#3339): Partial. 35+ tools implemented.
+- PR #3332/#3334: Read tool enhanced with GJC-compatible line range selectors (`:50`, `:50-200`, `:50+150`, `:raw`, `:conflicts`, etc.)
+- PR #3339: `/tools` and `/info` commands implemented
+- Still missing: image_gen (DALL-E), ask (interactive), workflow_gate_*, command_repl, shell_repl, powershell, cost_calculator

+## 5. SKILL DISCOVERY & INVOCATION
+
+### GJC Behavior (gajae-code Reference)
+
+**Source**: `packages/coding-agent/src/tools/skill-discovery.ts`, `packages/coding-agent/src/tools/skill.ts`, `packages/coding-agent/src/sdk-skills/`
+
+GJC supports **dynamic skill loading** with:
+- **Discovery**: `skill_discovery` tool scans `.gjc/skills/`, project `.gjc/skills/`, bundled skills
+- **Frontmatter Parsing**: YAML headers in `SKILL.md` define metadata (name, description, use conditions)
+- **Invocation**: `skill` tool loads and executes a named skill (skill name + args)
+- **Skill Execution**: Skill = subprocess call to `gjc /skill:<name>` with args
+- **Bundled Skills**: `autoresearch`, `deep-interview`, `ralplan`, `ultragoal`
+- **Project Skills**: Discoverable from `.gjc/skills/*/SKILL.md`
+- **User Skills**: Discoverable from `~/.gjc/skills/*/SKILL.md`
+
+**Skill Metadata**:
+```yaml
+# /skill:my-skill
+# description: What this skill does
+# scope: project | user | bundled
+# requires: List of capabilities
+```
+
+**Skill Discovery Result**:
+```json
+{
+  "name": "skill-name",
+  "description": "...",
+  "path": "...",
+  "bundled": true | false,
+  "scope": "project" | "user" | "bundled"
+}
+```
+
+### claw-code Status
+
+**Current**: Basic. Skill discovery exists but limited to filesystem scanning.
+
+**Files**:
+- `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs` (skill_discovery + skill dispatch, ~200 LOC)
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/prompt.rs` (skill loading in prompts, ~100 LOC)
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Scans `.claw/skills/` directory for `SKILL.md` files
+- Parses frontmatter (basic YAML)
+- Returns discovery results as JSON

+### Proposed Implementation
+
+**Owner Crate**: `tools` (expand existing) or `skills` (new, lightweight)
+
+**Module Structure**:
+```
+rust/crates/tools/src/
+├── skill_discovery.rs       (enhanced parsing, project/user/bundled hierarchy)
+├── skill_execution.rs       (subprocess dispatch, state handoff)
+├── bundled_skills.rs        (registry of autoresearch, deep-interview, ralplan, ultragoal)
+└── skill_state.rs           (workflow handoff serialization)
+```
+
+**Size Estimate**: 1,400 LOC (Rust)
+
+**Integration**:
+- Extend `skill_discovery` tool to search three scopes (bundled, project, user)
+- Add `skill` tool support for chaining (returning another skill invocation)
+- Store workflow state in durable files for handoff

+## 6. SETTINGS & CONFIGURATION
+
+### GJC Behavior (gajae-code Reference)
+
+**Source**: `packages/coding-agent/src/config.ts`, `packages/coding-agent/src/sdk/host/session-runtime.ts`
+
+GJC supports **settings override** at multiple levels:
+1. **Global Settings**: `~/.gjc/config.json` (user defaults)
+2. **Session Settings**: per-session override via `turn.create` or `turn.prompt` input
+3. **Runtime Override**: `settings` field in SDK request frames
+4. **Setting Categories**: 
+   - **Model**: `modelName`, `modelTemperature`, `modelMaxTokens`
+   - **Behavior**: `allowance`, `permissions.*`, `features.*`
+   - **UX**: `theme`, `shell`, `notification*`
+   - **Advanced**: `memory.context`, `memory.compression`, `cost.*`
+
+**Config Schema**: Typed with JSON schema validation per setting
+
+**Permission Modes**: 
+- `read_only` (no execution)
+- `approve` (interactive approval)
+- `unsafe` (no gates)
+
+### claw-code Status
+
+**Current**: Partial. Config exists but no session-level override or setting propagation.
+
+**Files**:
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/config.rs` (3,894 LOC, largest file in runtime)
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/config_validate.rs` (validation helpers)
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Reads `.claw/config.json` at startup
+- Stores global settings (model, permissions, plugins, features)
+- No session-level override
+- No setting propagation through tool execution
+- No typed setting validation against schema
+
+**Missing**:
+- Per-session setting override (session-specific model, permissions)
+- Setting propagation to all tool invocations
+- Dynamic setting application (e.g., changing model mid-session)
+- Setting schema validation
+- Config hotreload (changes without restart)
+
+### Gap Assessment
+
+| Component | GJC | claw-code | Gap | Complexity |
+|-----------|-----|-----------|-----|------------|
+| Setting Schema Definition | 300 LOC | — | 100% | Low |

+| Setting Propagation | 300 LOC | — | 100% | Low |
+| Dynamic Application | 200 LOC | — | 100% | Medium |
+| Config Hotreload | 150 LOC | — | 100% | Low |
+| **Total** | **1,350 LOC** | **3,894** | **-2,544 LOC** | — |
+
+### Proposed Implementation
+
+**Owner Crate**: `runtime` (enhance existing `config.rs`)
+
+**Additions to config.rs**:
+- Setting schema registry
+- Session setting override struct
+- Setting applicator (merge global + session + override)
+- Hotreload support (watch config file, signal on change)
+
+**Size Estimate**: 500 LOC (new code, mostly schema + applicators)

+
+## 7. HOOKS & PLUGINS
+
+### GJC Behavior (gajae-code Reference)
+
+**Source**: `packages/coding-agent/src/hooks.ts`, `packages/coding-agent/src/plugin_lifecycle.ts`
+
+GJC provides **5 hook points**:
+- `on_session_created`: After session starts
+- `on_prompt_received`: Before agent loop begins
+- `on_tool_use`: Before tool invocation
+- `on_tool_result`: After tool completes
+- `on_session_ended`: Before session cleanup
+
+**Plugin System**:
+- Plugins are shell scripts or binaries in `.claw/plugins/`
+- Each plugin implements hook handlers (exit code + JSON output)
+- Plugin registry stored in config
+
+### claw-code Status
+
+**Current**: Existing and comprehensive.
+
+**Files**:
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/hooks.rs` (L155)
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/plugin_lifecycle.rs`
+- `rust/crates/plugins/src/` (plugin manager)
+
+**Implementation**: Hooks fully implemented; plugin system working.
+
+### Gap Assessment
+
+| Component | GJC | claw-code | Gap |
+|-----------|-----|-----------|-----|
+| Hook Points | 5 | 5 | 0% |
+| Plugin Registry | ✓ | ✓ | 0% |
+| Plugin Execution | ✓ | ✓ | 0% |
+
+**Status**: **No gaps**. Hooks and plugins are fully compatible.

+
+## 8. AGENTS.MD RULES & CONTEXT
+
+### GJC Behavior (gajae-code Reference)
+
+**Source**: gajae-code root + `docs/` (AGENTS.md files at multiple levels)
+
+GJC loads **directory-specific rules** from `AGENTS.md` files:
+- **Root AGENTS.md**: Project-level knowledge base
+- **Directory AGENTS.md**: Directory-specific rules override parent
+- **Rules Loaded**: Automatically prepended to system prompt during agent reasoning
+- **Hierarchy**: Deepest (most specific) rules override higher level
+
+**Rule Content**:
+- Code organization and conventions
+- Tool restrictions (never use X in Y context)
+- Testing requirements
+- Deployment/safety gates
+- Architecture decisions
+
+### claw-code Status
+
+**Current**: Existing and matching GJC.
+
+**Files**:
+- Root: `AGENTS.md`
+- Crate-level: `rust/crates/*/AGENTS.md`
+- Implementation: `rust/crates/runtime/src/` (loads rules)
+
+**Implementation**: Rules loaded and applied to prompts.
+
+### Gap Assessment
+
+| Component | GJC | claw-code | Gap |
+|-----------|-----|-----------|-----|
+| Rule Loading | ✓ | ✓ | 0% |
+| Hierarchy | ✓ | ✓ | 0% |

+## 9. SLASH COMMANDS (120+ Commands)
+
+### GJC Behavior (gajae-code Reference)
+
+**Source**: `packages/coding-agent/src/commands/lib.ts` (7,200 LOC with 120+ command specs)
+
+GJC implements **120+ slash commands** for REPL interaction:
+- **Session**: `/session list`, `/session create`, `/session restore`, `/session delete`
+- **Model**: `/model set`, `/model list`, `/model info`
+- **Permissions**: `/permissions set`, `/permissions show`

+**Command Format**: `/command [arg1] [arg2] ...` with arg parsing per command
+
+### claw-code Status
+
+**Current** (as of PR #3339): Partial. ~42 commands implemented out of 120+.
+- PR #3339: Added `/tools` and `/info` commands
+- Remaining: /model set/list, /theme, /cost, /dump, /trace, /tasks list/cancel, workflow commands (/plan, /review, /ultragoal), and others

+## 10. SUBAGENT DELEGATION & TASK EXECUTION
+
+### GJC Behavior (gajae-code Reference)
+
+**Source**: `packages/coding-agent/src/tools/task.ts`, `packages/coding-agent/src/task/`
+
+GJC's **subagent system** enables parallel task execution:
+- **task Tool**: Spawn parallel subtasks with independent context
+- **Task States**: spawning, running, succeeded, failed
+- **Task Isolation**: Each task has isolated session, permissions, context
+- **Task Coordination**: `irc` tool for live inter-task communication
+- **Task Monitoring**: `task.inspect`, `task.list`, `task.cancel`
+- **Artifact Sharing**: Tasks share artifact URLs but not direct state
+
+**Task Spawning**:
+```json
+{
+  "agent": "executor|architect|planner",
+  "tasks": [
+    {
+      "id": "task-1",
+      "description": "...",
+      "assignment": "..."
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### claw-code Status
+
+**Current**: Existing and working.
+
+**Files**:
+- `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs` (task tool, ~300 LOC)
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/task_*.rs` (task execution, state mgmt)
+
+**Implementation**: Task tool works; spawning, monitoring, and coordination functional.
+
+### Gap Assessment
+
+| Component | GJC | claw-code | Gap |

+| Task Spawning | ✓ | ✓ | 0% |
+| Task Isolation | ✓ | ✓ | 0% |
+| Task Monitoring | ✓ | ✓ | 0% |
+| IRC Coordination | ✓ | ✓ | 0% |

+# GJC Tool Semantics Alignment: Phase 1 (read/edit/search/find)
+
+**Status**: Implementation plan  
+**Issue**: #3323  
+**Scope**: Slice 2.1 - Tool catalog semantic parity for read/edit/search/find  
+**Target**: Ship in batches with focused PRs
+
+---
+
+## 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
+
+This document details the semantic gaps between claw-code's current tool implementations and GJC's (gajae-code) reference implementations for the highest-value tools: **read**, **edit**, **search**, and **find**.
+
+### Key Gaps
+
+| Tool | Current (claw-code) | Target (GJC) | Gap | Complexity |
+|------|-----|--------|-----|------------|
+| **read** | offset/limit pagination | Line selectors (`:L-L+N`), raw mode, truncation footers | High | Medium |
+| **write** | Simple file replacement | Full replacement semantics (matching GJC) | Low | Low |
+| **edit** | String replacement (old→new) | String replacement with rich patch output | Low | Low |
+| **find** (glob) | Pattern expansion only | Recursive glob with filtering | Low | Low |
+| **search** (grep) | Regex search with context | Regex with context + advanced filtering | Low | Low |
+
+---
+
+## 2. GJC TOOL SEMANTICS REFERENCE
+
+### 2.1 READ Tool
+
+**Source**: `gajae-code/packages/coding-agent/src/tools/read.ts` (3,500+ LOC)
+
+#### Input Schema
+```typescript
+{
+  path: string;           // File path (relative or absolute)
+  offset?: number;        // Line offset (for pagination)
+  limit?: number;         // Lines to read (for pagination)
+  // GJC extensions (missing in claw-code):
+  selector?: string;      // Line range syntax:
+                          // ":50" = line 50 onward
+                          // ":50-200" = lines 50-200 inclusive
+                          // ":50+150" = 150 lines starting at line 50
+                          // ":raw" = full file verbatim
+                          // ":conflicts" = git merge conflicts only
+  truncationDirection?: "head" | "tail" | "both";  // Which end to keep
+  maxSummaryBytes?: number;  // Summary budget (default 50KB)
+  maxSummaryLines?: number;  // Summary budget (default 20K lines)
+}
+```
+
+#### Output Structure
+```json
+{
+  "file": {
+    "path": "src/main.rs",
+    "content": "...",
+    "totalLines": 500,
+    "totalBytes": 12345,
+    "truncatedBy": "lines" | "bytes" | "middle" | null,
+    "displayMode": "summarized" | "raw" | "receipt"
+  },
+  "truncationFooter": "[Showing lines 1-50 of 500; re-read ...]"
+}
+```
+
+#### Key Behaviors
+
+1. **Line Range Selectors** (`:selector` syntax)
+   - `:50` = start at line 50
+   - `:50-200` = lines 50-200 inclusive
+   - `:50+150` = 150 lines starting at 50
+   - `:50+1` = exactly one line
+   - `:5-16,960-973` = multiple ranges
+   - `:raw` = full verbatim
+   - `:conflicts` = git merge conflicts
+
+2. **Truncation Modes**
+   - Default: 50KB bytes limit, 20K lines limit
+   - Direction: `head` (keep start), `tail` (keep end), `both` (keep both ends)
+   - Footer includes recovery hint (e.g., "`re-read path:1-9999` for verbatim")
+
+3. **Structural Summarization**
+   - Code: collapse function bodies to `..` or `…` (merged brace pairs)
+   - Prose: preserve full lines, truncate at word boundaries
+   - Special files: documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX) converted via markit
+
+4. **Archive Support**
+   - `.tar`, `.tar.gz`, `.tgz`, `.zip`: member read with `archive.ext:path/inside`
+   - SQLite: `.sqlite:table` or `.sqlite:table:key` queries
+   - Line ranges apply to archive members
+
+5. **Output Formatting**
+   - Anchored output: Line prefixes with source line numbers and hash anchors
+   - Optional hash lines: Marks structural boundaries (`# pragma`, function start, etc.)
+   - Prose column cap: Long lines wrapped/truncated at column limit
+
+### 2.2 EDIT Tool
+
+**Source**: `gajae-code/packages/coding-agent/src/tools/edit.ts`
+
+#### Input Schema
+```typescript
+{
+  path: string;           // File to edit
+  old_text: string;       // Text to replace (required for edit)
+  new_text: string;       // Replacement text
+  all?: boolean;          // Replace all occurrences (default: first only)
+}
+```
+
+#### Output Structure
+```json
+{
+  "file": {
+    "path": "src/main.rs",
+    "editCount": 1,
+    "beforeSize": 12345,
+    "afterSize": 12400
+  },
+  "patch": [
+    {
+      "type": "replace",
+      "lineStart": 50,
+      "lineEnd": 55,
+      "before": "old content",
+      "after": "new content",
+      "context": {"before": 3, "after": 3}
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+#### Key Behaviors
+
+1. **Exact Match Required**: `old_text` must match exactly (no fuzzy matching)
+2. **Smallest Replacement**: Use smallest unique old_text that identifies the change
+3. **All-or-Nothing**: Either all occurrences replaced or none (no partial)
+4. **Patch Metadata**: Line numbers, context, before/after preserved
+
+### 2.3 SEARCH Tool
+
+**Source**: `gajae-code/packages/coding-agent/src/tools/search.ts`
+
+#### Input Schema
+```typescript
+{
+  pattern: string;        // Regex pattern
+  paths?: string[];       // Files/dirs to search
+  context?: number;       // Context lines before/after (default: 2)
+  i?: boolean;            // Case-insensitive
+  glob_exclude?: string[];  // Patterns to skip
+  file_type?: string;     // Filter by extension
+  limit?: number;         // Max results
+  truncation?: "head" | "tail" | "both";
+}
+```
+
+#### Output Structure
+```json
+{
+  "matches": [
+    {
+      "file": "src/main.rs",
+      "lineNumber": 42,
+      "line": "fn process() {",
+      "before": ["// Process data", ""],
+      "after": ["  // Implementation", ""]
+    }
+  ],
+  "summary": "Found 5 matches in 3 files"
+}
+```
+
+### 2.4 FIND Tool
+
+**Source**: `gajae-code/packages/coding-agent/src/tools/find.ts`
+
+#### Input Schema
+```typescript
+{
+  paths: string[];        // Glob patterns
+  timeout?: number;       // Timeout in seconds (default: 5)
+  gitignore?: boolean;    // Respect .gitignore (default: true)
+  hidden?: boolean;       // Include hidden files (default: true)
+  limit?: number;         // Max results (default: 1000)
+}
+```
+
+#### Output Structure
+```json
+{
+  "files": [

+    limit: Option<usize>,      // Lines only
+    workspace_root: &Path,
+) -> io::Result<ReadFileOutput>
+```
+
+**Missing**:
+- ✗ Line range selectors (`:L-L+N` syntax)

+---
+
+## 4. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (BATCHED)
+
+### Batch 1: READ Tool (Priority P0)
+- Add line range selector parsing
+- Implement `:raw` mode
+- ✓ Implement `:conflicts` mode
+- Add truncation footers with recovery hints
+- Implement structural summarization
+- Add tests for all selector combinations
+
+**Files to Modify**:
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/file_ops.rs` (read_file_in_workspace)
+- `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs` (ReadFileInput struct)
+- Tests in both
+
+**Size Estimate**: 1,200 LOC  
+**Complexity**: Medium (string parsing, output formatting)
+
+### Batch 2: EDIT Tool (Priority P1)
+- Add patch metadata to output
+- Ensure exact match semantics
+- Add comprehensive tests
+
+**Files to Modify**:
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/file_ops.rs` (edit_file_in_workspace)
+- Tests
+
+**Size Estimate**: 200 LOC  
+**Complexity**: Low
+
+### Batch 3: SEARCH/FIND Tools (Priority P1)
+- Enhance grep/find with GJC-compatible filtering
+- Add structured output format
+- Add metadata (file type, modified time)
+
+**Files to Modify**:
+- `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs` (glob_search, grep_search)
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/file_ops.rs`
+
+**Size Estimate**: 500 LOC  
+**Complexity**: Low-Medium
+
+---
+
+## 5. VERIFICATION STRATEGY
+
+Each batch will include:
+1. **Semantic Tests**: Verify tool inputs/outputs match GJC reference
+2. **Edge Case Tests**: Line ranges, truncation, archives, etc.
+3. **Integration Tests**: End-to-end with claw CLI
+4. **Parity Shadow Test**: Run same inputs against both GJC and claw-code, compare outputs
+
+---
+
+## 6. ROLLOUT SCHEDULE
+
+- **Batch 1 (READ)**: Week 1 - Enable most impactful tool first
+- **Batch 2 (EDIT)**: Week 1-2 - Quick follow-up
+- **Batch 3 (SEARCH/FIND)**: Week 2 - Lower priority but valuable for discoverability

+
+[OmniRoute](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute) is a third-party OpenAI-compatible AI gateway that can route requests to multiple providers. To use any remote OpenAI-compatible gateway with Claw, set `OPENAI_BASE_URL` to the gateway's `/v1` endpoint and provide your API key:
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.omniroute.ai/v1"
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-omniroute-api-key"
+claw --model "gpt-4" prompt "Reply exactly HELLO_WORLD_123"
+```
+
+To find the available model IDs on your gateway, use the `/models` endpoint:
+
+```bash
+curl -sS "$OPENAI_BASE_URL/models" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" | jq '.data[].id'
+```
+
+For local configuration, see your gateway's documentation for the correct base URL, API key format, and available model IDs. The same OPENAI_BASE_URL + OPENAI_API_KEY pattern applies to any OpenAI-compatible remote gateway.

 ## Local skills install from disk
 
 Skills are discovered from Claw skill roots such as `.claw/skills/` in a workspace and `~/.claw/skills/` for user-level installs. Legacy `.codex/skills/` roots may also be scanned for compatibility, but new local Claw projects should prefer `.claw/skills/`.

+# Nix flake development environment
+
+This repository includes a **`flake.nix`** for reproducible development environments on NixOS and systems with Nix installed.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Nix** (version 2.4 or later with flakes support enabled)
+- **direnv** (optional, for automatic environment loading via `.envrc`)
+
+To verify Nix is installed and flakes are enabled:
+
+```bash
+nix --version
+nix flake --help
+```
+
+If flakes are not enabled, add this to your `~/.config/nix/nix.conf`:
+
+```
+experimental-features = nix-command flakes
+```
+
+## Quick start
+
+### Enter the development environment
+
+**Option 1: Using `nix flake`** (without direnv)
+
+```bash
+nix flake update              # Update inputs (optional, pins nixpkgs)
+nix develop                    # Enter default dev shell
+nix develop .#full             # Enter full dev shell with extra tools
+exit                           # Leave the shell
+```
+
+**Option 2: Using direnv** (automatic on directory entry)
+
+```bash
+direnv allow                   # Trust the .envrc file (one-time setup)
+cd .                           # Direnv reloads the flake automatically
+```
+
+When you leave the repository directory, the environment is automatically unloaded.
+
+## Development shells
+
+The flake provides two development shells:
+
+### `default` (minimal)
+
+```bash
+nix develop
+```
+
+Includes:
+- Rust (stable, latest)
+- Rust source code (`rust-src`)
+- `cargo-edit` (dependency management helpers)
+- `cargo-expand` (macro expansion tool)
+- `cargo-watch` (file watcher for incremental builds)
+- Build tools: `pkg-config`, `openssl`, `git`, `ca-certificates`
+
+### `full` (with extra tooling)
+
+```bash
+nix develop .#full
+```
+
+Includes everything from `default` plus:
+- `clippy` (linter)
+- `rustfmt` (code formatter)
+- `mold` (fast linker)
+- `lldb` (debugger)
+
+## Building the claw binary
+
+### With the dev environment
+
+```bash
+nix develop
+cd rust
+cargo build -p rusty-claude-cli
+```
+
+### Directly with `nix build`
+
+```bash
+nix build .#claw          # Build the claw binary
+nix build                 # Same as .#claw (default package)
+```
+
+The compiled binary is symlinked to `./result/bin/claw`.
+
+## Running common tasks
+
+Once in the dev shell:
+
+```bash
+# Format code
+cd rust
+cargo fmt
+
+# Run clippy linter
+cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
+
+# Run all tests
+cargo test --workspace
+
+# Run tests for a specific crate
+cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli
+
+# Build with optimizations
+cargo build --release -p rusty-claude-cli
+```
+
+## Environment variables
+
+The flake automatically sets:
+
+- `RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=stable` — uses stable Rust from nixpkgs
+- Standard Rust build flags are inherited from the environment
+
+For development, the minimal dev shell includes a helpful message on entry:
+
+```
+Claw Code development environment
+Run 'cargo build -p rusty-claude-cli' to build the claw binary
+Run 'cargo test --workspace' to run tests
+Run 'scripts/fmt.sh' to format code
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `command not found: nix`
+
+Nix is not installed. Install it from [nixos.org/download.html](https://nixos.org/download.html).
+
+### `error: experimental Nix feature 'flakes' is disabled`
+
+Enable flakes in your Nix configuration (`~/.config/nix/nix.conf` or `/etc/nix/nix.conf`):
+
+```
+experimental-features = nix-command flakes
+```
+
+### `error: ... does not provide attribute 'claw'`
+
+The flake structure may have changed. Try updating:
+
+```bash
+nix flake update
+nix flake check
+```
+
+### Rebuilds are slow after updating dependencies
+
+Cargo will recompile dependencies if `Cargo.lock` changes. This is expected:
+
+```bash
+nix build --rebuild
+```
+
+### `cache lock file needs to be updated`
+
+The Cargo.lock in `rust/` needs to be committed. Run:
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+cargo generate-lockfile
+git add Cargo.lock
+git commit -m "update: Cargo.lock"
+```
+
+## Integration with other tools
+
+### IDE integration (VS Code, IntelliJ, etc.)
+
+Many IDEs can detect and use Nix environments. Direnv integration is recommended:
+
+1. Install the direnv extension
+2. Enable `direnv` shell integration in your IDE
+3. Run `direnv allow` in the repository
+
+Your IDE will automatically use the correct Rust toolchain and dependencies from the flake.
+
+### CI/CD
+
+For GitHub Actions, consider using [cachix/install-nix-action](https://github.com/cachix/install-nix-action) to set up Nix on the runner:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: cachix/install-nix-action@v18
+  with:
+    nix_path: nixpkgs=channel:nixos-unstable
+    extra_nix_config: "experimental-features = nix-command flakes"
+
+- run: nix develop -c cargo test --workspace
+```

+//! While a turn runs, the main thread is blocked inside the conversation
+//! loop, so rustyline is not reading the keyboard. This module spawns a
+//! listener thread that switches stdin to a minimal non-canonical mode
+//! (line buffering and echo off; signal handling and output processing
+//! stay enabled, unlike full raw mode) and watches for a lone Escape
+//! byte. When one arrives it trips the shared [`TurnInterruptSignal`],
+//! which the conversation loop and the streaming API client poll to wind
+//! the turn down gracefully.
+//!
+//! Permission prompts read whole lines from stdin mid-turn, so stdin
+//! ownership is coordinated through [`StdinPromptGate`]: while a prompt
+//! holds a lease, the listener restores canonical mode and stops

+//! Test demonstrating the gap and fix for SDK operation registry & schema validation.
+//!
+//! This test file reproduces issue #3321 - Slice 1.2: SDK operation registry & schema validation.
+//!
+//! GAP: The original SDK code allowed any operation name to be sent in a broker_request frame,
+//! with no validation of whether the operation exists or what schema the input should follow.
+//!
+//! FIX: The new OperationRegistry provides:
+//! - A registry of valid operations
+//! - Schema validation for operation inputs/outputs
+//! - Discovery of available operations
