fix: restore is_terminal() check for spinner in run_turn

The terminal check was removed during merge conflict resolution, causing
the spinner animation to be output to non-TTY streams (like pipes used
in tests), which corrupted the output format and broke the
text_prompt_mode_keeps_streamed_text_when_the_turn_fails test.

Restore the is_terminal() check to only animate when stdout is a real
terminal while keeping the interrupt feature.

+## OVERVIEW
+Claw Code: public Rust implementation of the `claw` CLI agent harness (Claude-Code-style). Canonical code lives in `rust/`; the repo is an agent-managed exhibit (harnesses plan/execute/verify per README), not a hand-operated product. `src/` is a companion Python porting/parity workspace, not production code.
+
+## STRUCTURE

+
+## CONVENTIONS
+- `unsafe_code = "forbid"` workspace-wide; every crate opts in via `[lints] workspace = true`; clippy all=warn, pedantic=allow
+- Edition 2021, resolver 2, publish=false; no rust-toolchain pin (CI floats stable); no rustfmt.toml/clippy.toml — stock defaults
+- Giant flat files by design (main.rs 19.8k, tools/lib.rs 10.9k, commands/lib.rs 7.2k): organization is positional — types → spec table → dispatch → handlers → tests at EOF
+- Dual output paths everywhere: `render_x` + `render_x_json`; JSON errors to **stdout**, text errors to **stderr**
+- Tests: inline `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` primary; integration tests spawn `CARGO_BIN_EXE_claw` subprocess against mock-anthropic-service; tempfile everywhere; env-mutating tests serialize via env_lock/test_env_lock
+- Comments carry issue numbers (#824, #146); gate tests named by roadmap gate (g004_conformance.rs)
+- Python side: stdlib only, `python -m unittest`; src/ mixes camelCase (QueryEngine.py) and snake_case filenames
+
+## ANTI-PATTERNS (THIS PROJECT)
+- NEVER `cargo install claw-code` — crates.io stub is deprecated and installs `claw-code-deprecated.exe`; build from source
+- Forbidden doc strings (CI-enforced by .github/scripts/check_doc_source_of_truth.py): old org links `github.com/Yeachan-Heo/claw-code`, `github.com/code-yeongyu/claw-code`, `discord.gg/6ztZB9jvWq`, `assets/clawd-hero.jpeg`
+- Deprecated config keys: `permissionMode` → `permissions.defaultMode`; `enabledPlugins` → `plugins.enabled`; env `RUSTY_CLAUDE_PERMISSION_MODE` is dead
+- Direct push to main is policy-blocked (`main_push_forbidden` approval scope)
+- Automation lanes must not merge/close remote PRs/issues (docs/anti-slop-triage.md)
+- `claw init` must not scaffold `dontAsk` permission mode (regression-pinned in output_format_contract.rs)
+- File-level `#![allow(dead_code)]` blocks (main.rs, session_control.rs) are tolerated legacy — do not extend the pattern
+
+## UNIQUE STYLES
+- Dogfood build: scripts/dogfood-build.sh injects GIT_SHA; `claw version` provenance must equal HEAD
+- Mock parity: rust/mock_parity_scenarios.json drives CLI subprocess vs MockAnthropicService
+- Dogfooding uses `CLAW_CONFIG_HOME=$(mktemp -d)` for config isolation
+- Env contracts: GIT_SHA (build), CLAW_CONFIG_HOME (config dir), OLLAMA_HOST (provider override), `*_API_KEY`/`*_BASE_URL` per provider
+
+## COMMANDS
+```bash
+scripts/fmt.sh --check                 # fmt check (apply: scripts/fmt.sh)
+cd rust && cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
+cd rust && cargo test --workspace
+cd rust && cargo build -p rusty-claude-cli   # binary: rust/target/debug/claw
+python -m unittest discover -s tests   # Python suite
+python .github/scripts/check_doc_source_of_truth.py && scripts/roadmap-check-ids.sh   # docs/roadmap CI
+```
+
+## NOTES
+- `claw` binary comes from crate `rusty-claude-cli` (package/bin name mismatch)
+- rust-ci.yml triggers only on rust/**, docs/**, listed meta file changes (path filters)
+- CI clippy job runs without `-D warnings` — weaker than the documented gate; known pre-existing failures recorded in docs/g002/g003 maps
+- `claw acp` is a status stub, not a real ACP server
+- rust/ has committed harness dotdirs (.clawd-agents/, .omc/, .sandbox-home/) — intentional

+>
+> 正如项目理念中所描述的，这并不旨在像普通产品代码库那样由人工操作。它是一个**由智能体管理的展品 (agent-managed exhibit)**：当螃蟹保持水箱运转时，工具会规划、执行、验证、标记并保存该工件。

+
+Claw Code 是 `claw` CLI 智能体工具的公开 Rust 实现。
+规范的实现位于 [`rust/`](./rust)，此代码库当前的事实来源是 **ultraworkers/claw-code**。
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> 首先请阅读 [`USAGE.md`](./USAGE.md) 以了解构建、认证、CLI、会话和一致性工具（parity-harness）工作流。关于文件提交/导航问题，请参阅 [导航和文件上下文 (Navigation and file context)](./docs/navigation-file-context.md)。关于本地兼容 OpenAI 的模型和离线技能设置，请参阅 [本地兼容 OpenAI 提供商及技能设置 (Local OpenAI-compatible providers and skills setup)](./docs/local-openai-compatible-providers.md)。Windows 用户可以跳转至以 PowerShell 为主的 [Windows 安装和发布快速入门 (Windows install and release quickstart)](./docs/windows-install-release.md)。构建完成后，请首先使用 `claw doctor` 进行健康检查，查看 [`rust/README.md`](./rust/README.md) 获取 crate 级别的详细信息，阅读 [`PARITY.md`](./PARITY.md) 了解当前的 Rust 移植检查点，并查阅 [`docs/container.md`](./docs/container.md) 了解优先使用容器的工作流。
+>
+> **ACP / Zed 状态：** `claw-code` 尚未发布 ACP/Zed 守护进程或 JSON-RPC 入口点。请运行 `claw acp`（或 `claw --acp`）查看当前状态，而不是从源代码布局中猜测；`claw acp serve` 目前仅作为可发现性的别名，返回状态并以退出码 0 结束，真正的 ACP 支持仍在 `ROADMAP.md` 中单独追踪。有关公开的 JSON 契约，请参阅 [`docs/g011-acp-json-rpc-status-contract.md`](./docs/g011-acp-json-rpc-status-contract.md)。

+
+## 快速入门
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> [!WARNING]
+> **`cargo install claw-code` 会安装错误的东西。** crates.io 上的 `claw-code` crate 是一个已废弃的存根（stub），它会放置 `claw-code-deprecated.exe` — 而不是 `claw`。运行它只会打印 `"claw-code has been renamed to agent-code"`。**请勿使用 `cargo install claw-code`。** 请从源码构建（本代码库）或安装上游二进制文件：
+> ```bash
+> cargo install agent-code   # 上游二进制文件 — 安装为 'agent.exe' (Windows) / 'agent' (Unix)，而不是 'agent-code'
+> ```
+> 本代码库 (`ultraworkers/claw-code`) **仅支持从源码构建** — 请遵循以下步骤。
+
+```bash
+# 1. 克隆并构建
+git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code
+cd claw-code/rust
+cargo build --workspace
+
+# 2. 设置您的 API 密钥（Anthropic API 密钥 — 不是 Claude 订阅）
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
+
+# 3. 验证所有配置是否正确
+./target/debug/claw doctor
+
+# 4. 运行提示词
+./target/debug/claw prompt "say hello"
+
+# 5. 启动交互式会话
+./target/debug/claw
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> **Windows (PowerShell)：** 二进制文件是 `claw.exe`，而不是 `claw`。使用 `.\target\debug\claw.exe` 或运行 `cargo run -- prompt "say hello"` 以跳过路径查找。
+
+### Windows 设置
+
+**PowerShell 是一种支持的 Windows 路径。** 您可以使用任何适合您的终端 shell。Windows 上常见的入门问题是：
+
+1. **首先安装 Rust** — 从 <https://rustup.rs/> 下载并运行安装程序。完成后关闭并重新打开终端。
+2. **验证 Rust 是否在 PATH 中：**
+   ```powershell
+   cargo --version
+   ```
+   如果失败，请重新打开终端或运行 Rust 安装程序输出的 PATH 设置步骤，然后重试。
+3. **克隆并构建**（在 PowerShell、Git Bash 或 WSL 中均可）：
+   ```powershell
+   git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code
+   cd claw-code/rust
+   cargo build --workspace
+   ```
+4. **运行**（PowerShell — 注意 `.exe` 和反斜杠）：
+   ```powershell
+   $env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = "sk-ant-..."
+   .\target\debug\claw.exe prompt "say hello"
+   ```
+
+有关发布版的 ZIP、PATH 设置、提供商切换以及通知的冒烟测试，请参阅 [`docs/windows-install-release.md`](./docs/windows-install-release.md)。
+
+**Git Bash / WSL** 是可选的替代方案，而非必须。如果您更喜欢 bash 风格的路径（例如 `/c/Users/you/...` 而不是 `C:\Users\you\...`），Git Bash（随 Git for Windows 一起提供）效果很好。在 Git Bash 中，`MINGW64` 提示符是预期的正常现象 — 并不代表安装已损坏。
+
+## 构建后操作：定位二进制文件并验证
+
+在 `claw-code/rust/` 中运行 `cargo build --workspace` 后，`claw` 二进制文件已构建，但**不会**自动安装到您的系统中。以下是定位文件和验证构建是否成功的方法。
+
+### 二进制文件位置
+
+`cargo build --workspace` 后，在 `claw-code/rust/` 目录中：
+
+**Debug 构建（默认，编译较快）：**
+- **macOS/Linux：** `rust/target/debug/claw`
+- **Windows：** `rust/target/debug/claw.exe`
+
+**Release 构建（已优化，编译较慢）：**
+- **macOS/Linux：** `rust/target/release/claw`
+- **Windows：** `rust/target/release/claw.exe`
+
+如果您运行 `cargo build` 时没有添加 `--release`，则二进制文件位于 `debug/` 文件夹中。
+
+### 验证构建是否成功
+
+直接使用其路径测试二进制文件：
+
+```bash
+# macOS/Linux (debug 构建)
+./rust/target/debug/claw --help
+./rust/target/debug/claw doctor
+
+# Windows PowerShell (debug 构建)
+.\rust\target\debug\claw.exe --help
+.\rust\target\debug\claw.exe doctor
+```
+
+无需实时凭据的 PowerShell 冒烟测试命令：
+
+```powershell
+$env:CLAW_CONFIG_HOME = Join-Path $env:TEMP "claw config home"
+New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $env:CLAW_CONFIG_HOME | Out-Null
+Remove-Item Env:\ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, Env:\ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, Env:\OPENAI_API_KEY -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
+.\rust\target\debug\claw.exe help
+.\rust\target\debug\claw.exe status
+.\rust\target\debug\claw.exe config env
+.\rust\target\debug\claw.exe doctor
+```
+
+如果这些命令成功执行，说明构建正常工作。`claw doctor` 是您的首个健康检查工具 — 它会验证您的 API 密钥、模型访问权限和工具配置。
+
+### 可选：添加到 PATH
+
+如果您希望在任何目录下都不用输入完整路径即可运行 `claw`，请选择以下方法之一：
+
+**选项 1：符号链接 (macOS/Linux)**
+```bash
+ln -s $(pwd)/rust/target/debug/claw /usr/local/bin/claw
+```
+然后重新加载 shell 并测试：
+```bash
+claw --help
+```
+
+**选项 2：使用 `cargo install` (所有平台)**
+
+构建并安装到 Cargo 的默认位置（`~/.cargo/bin/`，通常已在 PATH 中）：
+```bash
+# 在 claw-code/rust/ 目录下
+cargo install --path . --force
+
+# 然后在任何地方都可以运行
+claw --help
+```
+
+**选项 3：更新 shell 配置文件 (bash/zsh)**
+
+将此行添加到 `~/.bashrc` 或 `~/.zshrc`：
+```bash
+export PATH="$(pwd)/rust/target/debug:$PATH"
+```
+
+重新加载 shell：
+```bash
+source ~/.bashrc  # 或 source ~/.zshrc
+claw --help
+```
+
+### 故障排除
+
+- **"command not found: claw"** — 二进制文件在 `rust/target/debug/claw`，但未在您的 PATH 中。请使用完整路径 `./rust/target/debug/claw` 或按照上述方法进行软链接/安装。
+- **"permission denied"** — 在 macOS/Linux 上，如果缺少可执行权限（罕见情况），您可能需要运行 `chmod +x rust/target/debug/claw`。
+- **Debug vs. release** — 如果构建运行缓慢，说明您处于 debug 模式（默认）。在 `cargo build` 中添加 `--release` 以获得更快的运行时速度，但这会使构建本身花费 5-10 分钟。
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> **认证：** claw 需要一个 **API 密钥** (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY` 等) — 暂不支持 Claude 订阅登录作为认证途径。
+
+在验证二进制文件可运行后，执行工作区测试套件：
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+cargo test --workspace
+```

 833. **DONE — Native Ollama provider support via `OLLAMA_HOST` env var** — PR #3213 showed the routing gap: local model names like `qwen3:8b` don't match any provider prefix and `OPENAI_BASE_URL` was the only workaround. Ollama users had to set two env vars (`OPENAI_BASE_URL` + `OPENAI_API_KEY`) and unset Anthropic vars. Fix: (1) `OLLAMA_HOST` env var takes priority over all other routing; when set, all models route to the local OpenAI-compatible endpoint; (2) no API key required — placeholder token used for Authorization header; (3) model names with colons/dots bypass strict `provider/model` syntax validation when `OLLAMA_HOST` is set; (4) `detect_provider_kind()` checks `OLLAMA_HOST` first in the routing cascade; (5) `ProviderClient` dispatch uses `from_ollama_env()` when `OLLAMA_HOST` is set; (6) `OLLAMA_CONFIG` constant added to `openai_compat.rs`; (7) `from_ollama_env()` method constructs client from env with no auth requirement; (8) updated `USAGE.md` and `docs/local-openai-compatible-providers.md` to recommend `OLLAMA_HOST` as the preferred env var; (9) added `test_ollama_host_bypasses_model_validation` unit test. Supersedes PR #3213 (which had a duplicate `if let` bug in `mod.rs`). [SCOPE: claw-code]

+
+834. **DONE — Local-model syntax bypass only covered Ollama-shaped tags, not bare LM Studio/llama.cpp aliases** — follow-up to #833/PR #3213. `is_local_openai_model_syntax()` waived strict `provider/model` syntax under `OPENAI_BASE_URL` only when the model name contained a `.` or `:` (Ollama-tag-shaped). A local server registering a model under a bare alias with none of those characters — for example an LM Studio custom name or a llama.cpp `--alias` value like `mistral` — still failed CLI-parse-time validation unless the user discovered the `local/` prefix workaround. Fix: (1) `is_local_openai_compatible_base_url()` in `openai_compat.rs`, already used to waive the API-key requirement for loopback/private-network base URLs, is now `pub` and re-exported from the `api` crate root; (2) `is_local_openai_model_syntax()` in `rusty-claude-cli`'s `main.rs` calls it against the configured `OPENAI_BASE_URL` and accepts any non-empty model name when the host is local/private, matching the existing `OLLAMA_HOST` bypass; (3) remote/hosted `OPENAI_BASE_URL` gateways keep the stricter dot/colon-tag heuristic so a mistyped bare name doesn't silently route to a paid hosted API; (4) `local/` remains the explicit escape hatch for slash-containing IDs regardless of host; (5) added an LM Studio section and updated routing notes in `docs/local-openai-compatible-providers.md`.

+# 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
+

+# 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)

+- When `OPENAI_BASE_URL` points at a loopback or private-network address (`localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, `10.x`, `192.168.x`, `172.16-31.x`), Claw accepts **any** non-empty model name — bare aliases like `mistral` work with no dot, colon, or slash required. This covers LM Studio and llama.cpp server setups that register models under a plain `--alias`, not just Ollama-style tagged names (`llama3.2`, `qwen2.5-coder:7b`). `local/` is still needed only to preserve slash-containing IDs verbatim (e.g. Hugging Face repo IDs for vLLM/mlx-lm).

+# 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
+```

+# Asolaria for claw-code — a compact, tamper-evident wire format + addressing model for the agent event firehose
+
+A **self-contained, additive example** (no changes to claw-code core). It contributes one reproducible
+Rust benchmark plus a design write-up, aimed at the part of claw-code that moves the most bytes:
+**clawhip** — the event router that watches git commits, tmux sessions, GitHub PRs and agent-lifecycle
+events and pushes routing *out* of the agent context window so agents stay focused on implementation.
+
+The technique is from **Asolaria**, a multi-agent fabric built and operated *with* a claw-code-style
+autonomous harness. We contribute the parts that are (a) genuinely useful to a no-human-intervention
+harness and (b) **reproducible on your machine** — and we explicitly tag the parts that are
+architecture/vision, so nothing here backfires when an AI reviewer re-runs it.
+
+> **The bigger picture (tagged: vision/architecture, not a benchmark):** Asolaria's end goal is to make
+> *every device a surface* for one self-improving fabric — the device renders/addresses at ~0 local
+> token cost while the heavy reasoning is paged onto larger compute. You don't need to buy any of that
+> to use what's below; the wire format and 8-byte addressing stand on their own, measured.
+
+---
+
+## 1. The measured win (REPRODUCIBLE — re-run it)
+
+clawhip's event stream is high-rate and, today, JSON text. Re-encoding the same records as a
+fixed-width binary wire (`json=0`) and optionally folding a SHA-256 hash-chain over them gives, on
+**200,000** agent-lane-event records (measured; ratios are the reproducible part, ns vary by CPU):
+
+| Per record | JSON (text) | `json=0` binary | binary + SHA-256 chain |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **Wire size** | 153.2 B | **33.0 B — 4.64× smaller** | **65.0 B — 2.36× smaller** |
+| **Encode** | ~307 ns | **~28 ns — ~11× faster** | binary + one hash |
+| **Decode** | ~468 ns (parse) | **~0.8 ns — decode ≈ free** | field read = pointer offset |
+| **Integrity** | none | none | **per-record tamper-evident** |
+
+- The lane is addressed by its **8-byte FNV-1a-64 handle**, so the lane string is never repeated;
+  fields are fixed-width little-endian, so decode is a pointer offset, not a parse.
+- The chain link is `link_n = SHA256(link_{n-1} ‖ record_n)`. It adds **exactly +32 B** → 65.0 B/rec,
+  and any insert / delete / reorder / single-bit edit breaks the fold from that record on; a one-pass
+  verify **localizes the first altered record** (the bundled bench demonstrates this).
+- **Honest nuance (not a compression claim):** `gzip` narrows the *raw-size* gap (crypto links are
+  high-entropy by design). The durable wins are **uncompressed wire size, decode speed, and
+  integrity** — the IPC / mmap / tail-replay path and a tamper-evident audit trail — not archival
+  compressibility.
+
+See [§6 Reproduce](#6-reproduce).
+
+---
+
+## 2. The addressing capacity (LOGICAL / CANON — address *space*, not materialized things)
+
+Asolaria addresses subsystems with **BEHCS-1024**: a radix-1024 glyph tuple over a **60-dimension**
+coordinate. One ~12-byte tuple names a whole subsystem (room / lane / agent) and rehydrates losslessly
+to its full ~6,184-byte descriptor *via the fabric store*.
+
+- **DERIVABLE (arithmetic):** the 12-byte wire handle alone is a **2⁹⁶ ≈ 7.9×10²⁸** namespace —
+  astronomically past any harness demand (a lifetime of events ≈ 10⁹–10¹²), so agents mint ids
+  independently with effectively zero collision risk and no coordinator.
+- **LOGICAL / CANON (do NOT re-run as a count):** the full 60-D space is `(1024⁶⁰)⁵⁰ ≈ 10⁹⁰³⁰` —
+  the address space the scheme can *name*, not a count of things that exist.
+- **Addressing, measured in-fabric (NOT reproduced by this example):** a ~12-byte glyph indexing its
+  ~6,184-byte descriptor is **520:1** — *addressing* (the tuple points into a store), **not** a codec
+  you can rehydrate from 12 bytes alone. We cite it; we do not claim the local bench reproduces it.
+
+> **Anti-overclaim:** 12 bytes do **not** enumerate 10⁹⁰³⁰ values (96 bits is ~10²⁸·⁹). The 10⁹⁰³⁰ is
+> the *scheme's* naming ceiling, not the wire handle's cardinality, and not a count of materialized
+> entities.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Per-component benefit to claw-code
+
+Tags mark which lines are re-runnable here vs architecture.
+
+- **8-byte FNV-1a-64 content-handle** [8-byte width MEASURED; content-addressing architecture] — a tmux
+  session name / `owner/repo#1204` / worktree path (30–120+ B) collapses to one fixed 8-byte handle
+  agents pass instead of prose; "did we already report this commit?" is an 8-byte equality check.
+  *(FNV-1a-64 is a non-cryptographic dedup/address hash — tamper-evidence is the SHA-256 chain's job.)*
+- **json=0 binary wire** [MEASURED §1] — 4.64× smaller, decode≈free for clawhip's high-rate event log;
+  fixed width → O(1) seek / tail-follow / byte-range replay (record N at offset `N*width`).
+- **BEHCS event envelope** [size/speed MEASURED; ordering architecture] — each event carries
+  `lane(8B) + seq + lamport + hash`; a stable total order `(lamport, lane, seq)` makes replay
+  deterministic across racing agents; a dropped event shows as a seq gap, a double-delivery as a dup.
+- **60-D tuple addressing** [§2] — reference a whole subsystem by a tiny handle instead of inlining a
+  descriptor clawhip just evicted; sibling lanes share a coordinate prefix (route a lane-family by
+  prefix, not an id list).
+- **SHA-256 hash-chain** [MEASURED §1/§6] — a no-human-intervention harness gets a tamper-evident audit
+  trail for +32 B/rec; the chain breaks on any mutation and a one-pass recompute localizes the first
+  bad record.
+- **Stubbed rooms as RAM** [handle MEASURED; demand-paging architecture/vision] — a "room" (open files,
+  prior reasoning, sub-task ledger) lives as an out-of-context descriptor stub keyed by an 8-byte
+  handle; only the needed slice hydrates into context. Footprint scales with *active* agents, not
+  total. *(Paging against larger compute is the architecture model, not a deployed cluster.)*
+
+---
+
+## 4. Concrete shape on the wire
+
+One BEHCS-enveloped clawhip event (65.0 B binary, chained):
+
+```
+lane    = 0xA3F1C2D4E5B60718   # 8-byte FNV-1a-64 handle for "executor-7/git-watch"
+seq     = 4271                 # per-lane monotonic: 4270->4272 = dropped; repeated 4271 = dup
+lamport = 98142                # deterministic cross-lane order, no wall clock
+rec     = <33 B fixed-width payload>          # vs 153.2 B as JSON
+link    = SHA256(prev_link ‖ rec)             # 32 B; editing any past rec breaks every later link
+```

+
+## 5. Where this comes from
+
+Asolaria (public Host-8 lane — the council modules + this technique live here):
+**https://github.com/JesseBrown1980/asolaria-federation-1024**
+
+A multi-agent system built/operated with a claw-code-style autonomous harness. This PR contributes only
+the additive, reproducible slice.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Reproduce
+
+```bash
+cd examples/asolaria-wire
+cargo run --release
+```
+
+It will, with no network or external services:
+1. Generate **200,000** synthetic agent-lane-event records (the clawhip lane-event shape).
+2. Encode each as JSON text and as the `json=0` fixed-width binary; report **B/record** and **ns/record**
+   → expect ~**153.2 / 33.0 B** and the **4.64× size / ~11× encode / decode≈free** figures.
+3. Account the SHA-256 chain (+32 B/rec) → **65.0 B/rec (2.36×)**.
+4. Run the **tamper test**: flip one bit in record #5, re-fold the chain, and confirm the verifier
+   reports **record #5** as the first broken link.
+
+Absolute ns vary by CPU; the **ratios and the tamper-detection** are what to verify. Run `gzip` on the
+two wire forms yourself to confirm the honest nuance in §1.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Honesty self-check
+
+- **Reproducible (re-run them):** 153.2→33.0 B (4.64×), +32 B chain → 65.0 B (2.36×), ~11× encode,
+  decode≈free, and SHA-256 tamper-localization. (200k records; ratios are the portable part.)
+- **Derivable (arithmetic):** 2⁹⁶ ≈ 7.9×10²⁸ handle namespace.
+- **Logical / CANON (do NOT re-run as a count):** the 60-D BEHCS-1024 ceiling `(1024⁶⁰)⁵⁰ ≈ 10⁹⁰³⁰` —
+  address space, not entities. The 520:1 glyph↔descriptor figure is **addressing measured in-fabric**,
+  cited, **not** reproduced by this example.
+- **Architecture / vision (not benchmarked):** clawhip/MCP integration, Lamport ordering,
+  stubbed-rooms-as-RAM paging, every-device-as-surface. Presented as proposed mappings, not deployed
+  facts.
+- **Anti-marketing:** `gzip` closes the raw-size gap; the size win is uncompressed-wire + decode-speed +
+  integrity, never compressibility. FNV-1a-64 is non-cryptographic dedup, not security.

+//! Compares, on the same agent-lane-event records (the kind an agent harness's event router moves):
+//!   * JSON text                         (baseline; no integrity)
+//!   * json=0 fixed-width BINARY          (lane addressed by its 8-byte FNV-1a-64 handle)
+//!   * binary + a SHA-256 hash-chain      (per-record tamper-evidence)
+//!
+//! Prints wire size, encode/decode speed, and runs a tamper test that localizes the first edited
+//! record. Absolute ns vary by CPU; the RATIOS and the tamper-detection behavior are what to verify.
+//! No network, no external services. Run: `cargo run --release`.

+# AGENTS.md — rust/ workspace
+
+## OVERVIEW
+
+Virtual Cargo workspace (resolver 2, edition 2021) housing 11 crates that compose the `claw` CLI and supporting services.
+
+## STRUCTURE
+
+| Crate | Kind | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `rusty-claude-cli` | bin (`claw`) | Main CLI binary. Package name ≠ binary name. |
+| `claw-analog` | lib+bin | Alternate entry point; depends on api + runtime only. |
+| `claw-rag-service` | bin | RAG service. Only crate with `[features]` (`qdrant-index`). |
+| `mock-anthropic-service` | lib+bin | Mock Anthropic Messages API. Prints `MOCK_ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`. Dev-dep for CLI and analog tests. |
+| `runtime` | lib | Core: sessions, permissions, MCP, conversation loop. ~47 modules. |
+| `api` | lib | Provider clients: Anthropic, OpenAI-compat (xAI, OpenAI, DashScope, Ollama). |
+| `tools` | lib | 55-tool surface area. Depends on `commands` (not vice versa). |
+| `commands` | lib | 120+ slash commands. |
+| `plugins` | lib | Plugin manifest and lifecycle. |
+| `telemetry` | lib | Request identity + analytics sinks. |
+| `compat-harness` | lib | Extracts upstream TS claude-code manifest/commands/tools for parity comparison. |
+
+Dependency direction: `rusty-claude-cli` → tools/commands/runtime/api/plugins. `tools` → `commands`.
+
+## WHERE TO LOOK
+
+- **Parity testing**: `mock_parity_scenarios.json` at workspace root, loaded via `CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR/../../mock_parity_scenarios.json`. Scripts in `scripts/` (`run_mock_parity_harness.sh`, `run_mock_parity_diff.py`).
+- **CI**: `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` (fmt, clippy, test, docs, Windows smoke) and `release.yml` (v* tag builds for linux-x64/macos-arm64/windows-x64).
+- **Committed test fixtures**: `.clawd-agents/`, `.omc/`, `.sandbox-home/` are checked-in harness dotdirs.
+- **Docs**: `PARITY.md`, `TUI-ENHANCEMENT-PLAN.md`, `README.md` alongside this file.
+
+## CONVENTIONS
+
+Workspace lints (all crates opt in via `[lints] workspace = true`):
+- `unsafe_code` = **forbid**. No exceptions.
+- clippy `all` = warn, `pedantic` = allow. Explicitly allowed: `module_name_repetitions`, `missing_panics_doc`, `missing_errors_doc`.
+
+No `rustfmt.toml` or `clippy.toml`. Stock defaults only.
+
+TUI rule: formatting fns take `&mut impl Write`, never stdout directly. Never mix raw ANSI escapes with crossterm.
+
+Library crates don't carry the `claw-` prefix. Binary crates do (except legacy `rusty-claude-cli`).
+
+Workspace version is `0.1.3`, `publish = false`, MIT license.
+
+No rust-toolchain file, no MSRV. CI pins `dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable`.
+
+## ANTI-PATTERNS
+
+- Don't run `cargo fmt --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml` from the repo root. Use `../scripts/fmt.sh` instead.
+- Don't add `unsafe` code. The lint is set to `forbid`, not `deny`. You can't `#[allow]` it.
+- Don't create dependencies from `commands` → `tools`. The arrow goes `tools` → `commands`.
+- Don't write TUI output directly to stdout or use raw ANSI escape sequences.
+- Don't add features to crates other than `claw-rag-service` without good reason; the workspace is feature-lean by design.
+
+## COMMANDS
+
+All run from `rust/`:
+
+```sh
+# Format (check only)
+../scripts/fmt.sh --check
+
+# Format (apply)
+../scripts/fmt.sh
+
+# Lint (strict, matches what you should pass before pushing)
+cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
+
+# Test
+cargo test --workspace
+
+# Build specific binary
+cargo build -p rusty-claude-cli
+cargo build -p claw-analog
+cargo build -p claw-rag-service
+cargo build -p mock-anthropic-service
+```
+
+Note: CI clippy runs without `-D warnings`, so the local check above is stricter than the gate.

 ## Model Aliases
 
-Short names resolve to the latest model versions:
+Short model aliases resolve to canonical model IDs. Because the router selects a
+provider from the resolved model, an alias also determines which backend and
+credentials are used — choose the alias for the provider you have an API key for.
+Alias resolution is case-insensitive (`OPUS` behaves the same as `opus`). Aliases
+are the bare short names listed below: a prefixed form such as `anthropic/opus`
+is not an alias, and is passed through as-is rather than expanded to
+`claude-opus-4-7`.
 
-| Alias | Resolves To |
-|-------|------------|
-| `opus` | `claude-opus-4-7` |
-| `sonnet` | `claude-sonnet-4-6` |
-| `haiku` | `claude-haiku-4-5-20251213` |
+| Alias | Resolves To | Provider | Auth env var |
+|-------|-------------|----------|--------------|
+| `opus` | `claude-opus-4-7` | Anthropic | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` |
+| `sonnet` | `claude-sonnet-4-6` | Anthropic | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` |
+| `haiku` | `claude-haiku-4-5-20251213` | Anthropic | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` |

+| `grok-2` | `grok-2` | xAI | `XAI_API_KEY` |
+| `kimi` | `kimi-k2.5` | DashScope (OpenAI-compatible) | `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY` |
+
+Anthropic aliases track the latest published model versions. xAI models honor
+`XAI_BASE_URL` and Kimi honors `DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL` for base-URL overrides. Alias
+resolution is implemented in `resolve_model_alias`
+([`crates/api/src/providers/mod.rs`](./crates/api/src/providers/mod.rs)); for
+provider-specific request handling see
+[`../docs/MODEL_COMPATIBILITY.md`](../docs/MODEL_COMPATIBILITY.md).

+
+## OVERVIEW
+
+LLM provider client layer: dispatches Anthropic, xAI, OpenAI, DashScope, and Ollama behind two wire protocols (Anthropic Messages native, OpenAI Chat Completions compat).
+
+## WHERE TO LOOK
+
+| Module | What lives here |
+|---|---|
+| `client.rs` | `ProviderClient` enum (facade). `from_model(model)` resolves alias, picks `ProviderKind`, handles OLLAMA_HOST and DashScope qwen-prefix cases. `send_message`/`stream_message`. |
+| `providers/mod.rs` | `Provider` trait (generic, dead_code-allowed, not used for dispatch). `ProviderKind`, `resolve_model_alias`, `ProviderMetadata` (auth_env, base_url_env, default_base_url), `max_tokens_for_model[_with_override]`, capability/diagnostic reporting, `preflight_message_request` validation. |
+| `providers/anthropic.rs` | `AnthropicClient` (re-exported as `ApiClient` at crate root). Dual auth: API key env vs saved OAuth (`AuthSource`, `OAuthTokenSet`, token expiry checks). Base-url resolution. SSE `MessageStream`. Prompt-cache hooks. |
+| `providers/openai_compat.rs` | `OpenAiCompatClient` parameterized by `OpenAiCompatConfig` (presets: `xai()`, `openai()`, `dashscope()`, `OLLAMA_CONFIG`). Heavy translation layer: `build_chat_completion_request`, `translate_message`, `sanitize_tool_message_pairing`, `flatten_tool_result_content`. Model-quirk predicates (`is_reasoning_model`, etc.). Body-size estimation/guards. |
+| `types.rs` | Provider-agnostic wire types: `MessageRequest`, `InputMessage`, `ContentBlock`, `StreamEvent`, `Usage`, `ToolDefinition`, `ToolChoice`. |
+| `sse.rs` | `SseParser`, `parse_frame`. |
+| `http_client.rs` | reqwest builders, `ProxyConfig` from env proxy vars, `TimeoutConfig`. |
+| `error.rs` | `ApiError`. |
+| `prompt_cache.rs` | `PromptCache` + `Stats` (Anthropic-only). |
+| `lib.rs` | Curated `pub use` lists define the public surface. Also re-exports sibling telemetry crate items. |
+
+## CONVENTIONS
+
+- Module-private by default. `lib.rs` `pub use` lists are the sole public API surface.
+- `#[must_use]` on pure constructors.
+- Provider config follows an env-var pair pattern: `*_API_KEY` / `*_BASE_URL`, recorded in `ProviderMetadata`.
+- Leaf files carry targeted `#![allow(clippy::cast_possible_truncation)]` where needed.
+- Dispatch goes through the `ProviderClient` enum, not trait objects. The `Provider` trait exists but is dead-code-allowed.
+- Streams unify into `MessageStream` with `next_event()` yielding `StreamEvent`.
+
+## TESTS
+
+- Four integration test files under `tests/`:
+  - `client_integration` — core client behavior
+  - `openai_compat_integration` — OpenAI-compat translation paths
+  - `provider_client_integration` — `ProviderClient` dispatch
+  - `proxy_integration` — proxy config
+- Tests that touch env vars serialize through a shared `env_lock()` mutex. Don't skip this or you'll get flaky parallel failures.
+- `benches/request_building.rs` is the workspace's only Criterion bench. Targets hot translation functions. This file bulk-opts out of strict lints.

+REPL slash-command surface: parsing, spec registry, help rendering, and a handful of in-crate handlers. Single flat `src/lib.rs` (~7k lines). Deps: `plugins`, `runtime`, `serde_json` only. Note: `tools` depends on `commands`, not the reverse.
+
+## lib.rs MAP
+
+| Lines | Landmark |
+|-------------|----------|
+| 16–58 | Registry types: `CommandManifestEntry`, `CommandSource` (Builtin / InternalOnly / FeatureGated), `CommandRegistry`, `SlashCommandSpec`, `SkillSlashDispatch` |
+| 60–1047 | `SLASH_COMMAND_SPECS` static table. 120+ entries (help, status, sandbox, compact, model, permissions, clear, cost, resume, config, mcp, memory, init, diff, version, bughunter, commit, pr, issue, ultraplan, teleport, debug-tool-call, export, session, plugin, agents, skills, doctor, plan, review, tasks, theme, vim, voice, chat, ...) |
+| 1048–1303 | `SlashCommand` enum (~65 variants + `Unknown(String)`), `SlashCommandParseError`, `SlashCommand::parse` (L1218) |
+| 1515–1899 | Per-command arg parsers: `parse_mcp_command`, `parse_plugin_command`, `parse_session_command`, etc. |
+| 1900–2108 | Help/suggestion rendering: `render_slash_command_help*`, `suggest_slash_commands` (Levenshtein), category grouping |
+| 2109–2682 | Result types + handlers: `handle_plugins_slash_command`, `handle_agents/mcp/skills_slash_command(_json)`, skill dispatch/resolve |
+| 3160–5293 | Reporting layer: paired text and `_json` renderers for plugins/agents/skills/mcp reports, skill install/uninstall/create-agent logic, frontmatter parsing, root discovery |
+| 5294 | `handle_slash_command(input, session, compaction)` top dispatch. Only Compact and Help execute here; all other variants return to the REPL caller |
+| 5403–7183 | `mod tests` (~1780 lines) |
+
+## ADDING A SLASH COMMAND
+
+1. **Spec.** Add a `SlashCommandSpec` entry to `SLASH_COMMAND_SPECS`. Set `resume_supported` honestly.
+2. **Enum + parse.** Add a variant to `SlashCommand`. Wire a match arm in `SlashCommand::parse`. If the command takes arguments, add a dedicated `parse_*_command` function in the arg-parser block.
+3. **Handler.** Decide where execution lives:
+   - In-crate (like Compact/Help): handle it inside `handle_slash_command`.
+   - Returned to caller: just return the parsed variant. The REPL layer executes it.
+4. **Help.** Make sure the spec's `summary` and `argument_hint` are set so help rendering and suggestion matching pick it up automatically.
+5. **Tests.** Cover parsing (valid input, bad input, edge cases) in the inline `mod tests`.
+
+## CONVENTIONS
+
+- **Dual renderers.** Every report surface has a text variant and a `_json` variant: `handle_x` / `handle_x_json`, `render_*` / `render_*_json`. Keep them in sync.
+- **Error style.** Handlers return `std::io::Result`. Parse failures use `SlashCommandParseError`.
+- **Manifest registries.** Pattern is `entries: Vec<_Entry>` backed by the static spec table.
+- **Dependency direction.** This crate knows nothing about `tools`. Don't import it.
+- **No execution here.** Almost all commands pass through as parsed data. Only Compact and Help run inside this crate. Respect that boundary.

+///
+/// It is what a provider that dies on the socket actually looks like, and it
+/// keeps the failure in a *later* parser call than the answer text. The whole
+/// response is one `write_all` on the mock's side, so a complete trailing frame
+/// would land in the same read chunk as the deltas — and `SseParser::push`
+/// returns `Err` from inside its frame loop, which discards the events it had
+/// already parsed from that same chunk. The client would then never render the
+/// text at all, and the scenario would be exercising that parser behaviour
+/// instead of the terminal state it is meant to reproduce. A truncated tail
+/// stays in the parser's buffer, so `push` returns the deltas normally and the
+/// failure only surfaces from `finish()`, once the client has consumed every
+/// event ahead of it.
+///
+/// The failure is a frame that does not deserialize — `api::types::StreamEvent`

+
+## OVERVIEW
+
+Plugin subsystem: how third-party, builtin, and bundled tools/commands/hooks enter the runtime.
+
+## WHERE TO LOOK
+
+- `src/lib.rs` (~3,863 lines): the bulk of the crate. Manifest parsing (`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`), installed-plugin registry, lifecycle model, permission model, install/update management.
+- `src/hooks.rs`: hook event model (`HookEvent`, `HookRunResult`) and `HookRunner` for shell-hook execution. Re-exported from `lib.rs`. **Caution:** the runtime crate has its own `hooks.rs` with a separate `HookRunner` (execution + abort-signal side, around L155). Know which layer you need before editing.
+- `src/test_isolation.rs`: test isolation helpers.
+- `bundled/`: example plugin fixtures. `example-bundled/` and `sample-hooks/` each contain `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` plus `pre.sh`/`post.sh` shell hooks. Treat these as the reference shape when authoring a new plugin.
+
+## CONVENTIONS
+
+**Key public types** (all in `src/lib.rs` unless noted):
+
+- Kinds/definitions: `PluginKind`, `PluginDefinition`, `BuiltinPlugin`, `BundledPlugin`, `ExternalPlugin`.
+- Manifests: `PluginManifest`, `PluginToolManifest`, `PluginToolDefinition`, `PluginToolPermission`, `PluginCommandManifest`.
+- Hooks: `PluginHooks`, `HookEvent`, `HookRunResult` (from `hooks.rs`).
+- Lifecycle/permissions: `PluginLifecycle`, `PluginPermission`.
+- Registry: `InstalledPluginRecord`, `InstalledPluginRegistry`, `RegisteredPlugin`, `PluginRegistry` (+ `Report`, `Summary`, `LoadFailure`).
+- Management: `PluginManager` (+ `Config`), `InstallOutcome`, `UpdateOutcome`.
+- Trait: `Plugin`.
+- Errors: `PluginError`.
+- Entry points: `builtin_plugins()`, `load_plugin_from_directory()`.
+
+**Lifecycle spans two crates.** Manifest parsing and registry live here. Health checks, degraded-mode, and `PluginState` live in `runtime/src/plugin_lifecycle.rs`. Changes to plugin lifecycle logic often touch both.
+
+**Plugin shape.** A plugin directory contains `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` at minimum. Shell hooks (`pre.sh`, `post.sh`) sit alongside. See `bundled/` for working examples.
+
+**Consumers.** `PluginManager` has ~48 references across the workspace. CLI wires plugins via `RuntimePluginStateBuildOutput` in `rusty-claude-cli`. The tools crate exposes plugin tools through `GlobalToolRegistry`.
+
+## NOTES
+
+- Don't confuse the two `HookRunner` implementations. This crate's version handles the event model. The runtime crate's version handles execution and abort signals.
+- `lib.rs` is large. Most searches for plugin behavior start and end there.
+- Bundled plugin fixtures under `bundled/` are used in tests. Breaking their structure breaks CI.
+- Permission model is enforced at install time and checked at runtime. Both paths matter when modifying `PluginPermission`.

+# AGENTS.md — runtime crate
+
+## OVERVIEW
+
+Core crate of `claw`: session persistence, permissions, prompt assembly, MCP plumbing, tool-facing file ops, conversation loop. 47 flat modules in src/, ~330 pub symbols, ~170 re-exported flat from lib.rs.
+
+## WHERE TO LOOK
+
+| Group | Files | Entry points |
+|---|---|---|
+| session/conversation | session.rs, session_control.rs, conversation.rs, compact.rs, summary_compression.rs, usage.rs | `Session` (L117), `SessionStore`, `ConversationRuntime` (L130), `ApiClient`/`ToolExecutor` traits |
+| config | config.rs, config_validate.rs, bootstrap.rs | `ConfigLoader` (L409), type-export heaviest file; MCP server config enums live here |
+| MCP (6-file split) | mcp.rs, mcp_client.rs, mcp_stdio.rs, mcp_server.rs, mcp_tool_bridge.rs, mcp_lifecycle_hardened.rs | `McpServerManager` (L488 in mcp_stdio.rs), JSON-RPC spawn |
+| hooks/plugins | hooks.rs, plugin_lifecycle.rs | `HookRunner` (L155), abort signal, healthcheck, degraded mode |
+| permissions/safety | permissions.rs, permission_enforcer.rs, policy_engine.rs, approval_tokens.rs, sandbox.rs, bash_validation.rs, trust_resolver.rs | `PermissionEnforcer` (L27), `GreenLevel`, lane decisions |
+| tools/execution | bash.rs, file_ops.rs, lsp_client.rs | `execute_bash`, `*_in_workspace` file op variants |
+| lane/worker | lane_events.rs, worker_boot.rs, task_packet.rs, task_registry.rs, team_cron_registry.rs, branch_lock.rs, stale_base.rs, stale_branch.rs | `LaneEvent` dedupe/provenance, `LaneBoard` |
+| prompt | prompt.rs | `SystemPromptBuilder`, `ContextFile`, dynamic boundary marker |
+| git/remote/auth | git_context.rs, remote.rs, oauth.rs | Upstream proxy, PKCE flow |
+| misc | json.rs, sse.rs, g004_conformance.rs, green_contract.rs, recovery_recipes.rs, report_schema.rs, trident.rs | Report v1 + redaction |
+
+Largest files by line count: config.rs (3894), mcp_stdio.rs (2969), lane_events.rs (2561), worker_boot.rs (2441), session.rs (1961), conversation.rs (1878).
+
+## CONVENTIONS
+
+- One file per module, flat layout. No subdirectories.
+- Most modules are private `mod x` with selective `pub use`. 21 modules are `pub mod`, so consumers use both the re-export and the qualified path.
+- Deps kept minimal: serde, tokio, glob, regex, sha2, walkdir + internal plugins/telemetry. No reqwest, no async-trait. Remote/SSE done by hand.
+- Inline `#[cfg(test)]` tests per file. session.rs has two test modules.
+- `pub(crate) test_env_lock()` mutex in lib.rs serializes env-mutating tests. Use it when touching env vars.
+- trust_resolver.rs is `#[cfg(test)]`-gated yet pub-used: test-only API surface.
+
+## INVARIANTS (do not break)
+
+1. **Compaction pairs**: compact.rs must never split assistant(ToolUse)/ToolResult pairs.
+2. **No side effects on construction**: SessionStore construction must not create `.claw` directories (session_control.rs:1090).
+3. **Workspace containment**: file_ops.rs workspace ops must not escape the workspace root.
+4. **Permission ordering**: a leading read-only permission token must not launder a trailing destructive one (permission_enforcer.rs:450).
+
+## ANTI-PATTERNS
+
+- Don't extend whole-file `#![allow(...)]` blocks. They exist as legacy tolerance in worker_boot.rs, mcp_tool_bridge.rs, lsp_client.rs, stale_branch.rs, stale_base.rs, recovery_recipes.rs, mcp_lifecycle_hardened.rs, session_control.rs. Adding new ones is not acceptable.
+- Don't add reqwest or async-trait as deps. Remote calls go through the manual SSE/proxy layer in remote.rs and sse.rs.
+- Don't create subdirectories under src/. The flat module layout is intentional.
+- Don't bypass `*_in_workspace` variants for file ops when running inside a workspace context. The unchecked versions exist for bootstrap and out-of-workspace scenarios only.
+- Don't add new `pub mod` exports without reason. Prefer private mod + selective `pub use` from lib.rs.

+/// Candidate `unshare` user-namespace mapping options, in preference order.

+/// util-linux delegates to the setuid `newuidmap`/`newgidmap` helpers when
+/// `--map-auto` is also present.
+///
+/// That fallback therefore depends on the setuid helpers (the `uidmap`
+/// package on Debian/Ubuntu) and on the current user having a range in
+/// `/etc/subuid` and `/etc/subgid`. When either is missing, `--map-auto`
+/// fails and the startup probe rejects the candidate, keeping the plain form.

+/// Each candidate is the **complete** static argument shape the launcher

+/// runs each candidate verbatim (plus a trivial program), so probe success
+/// implies launch success: on systems where the mapping works but the
+/// namespace flags are denied (e.g. AppArmor-restricted CI runners that
+/// block mount propagation in user namespaces), the probe fails and the
+/// sandbox stays disabled instead of activating a launcher that always
+/// errors.
+///
+/// `--net` is intentionally absent: it is appended only when network

+# AGENTS.md — rusty-claude-cli (the `claw` binary)
+
+## OVERVIEW
+
+Crate `rusty-claude-cli` produces the `claw` binary (~25 subcommands). Wires together api, runtime, tools, commands, plugins; terminal via crossterm/rustyline/syntect. Hand-rolled arg parser (no clap).
+
+## main.rs MAP
+
+src/main.rs is ~19,800 lines. Landmark table:
+
+| Lines | Section |
+|---|---|
+| 73–330 | Provenance/model types (`ModelSource`, `ModelProvenance`, `PermissionModeSource`), build constants |
+| 330–682 | Error taxonomy (`classify_error_kind`, JSON/text error output) |
+| 774–994 | Global flags, `--cwd`/`-C` stripping, stdin plumbing |
+| 995–1158 | `run()`: single flat match dispatching `CliAction` variants |
+| 1162–1280 | `CliAction` enum, 25 struct variants (each carries `output_format`) |
+| 1312–1477 | Output-format machinery: `OnceLock` statics, duplicate-flag tracking |
+| 1478–2272 | `parse_args`: ~800-line manual token loop |
+| 2542–3389 | Per-subcommand sub-parsers inside `parse_args` |
+| 2902–3389 | Model/permission/allowed-tools resolution |
+| 3390–4696 | Doctor subsystem (~13 `check_*_health` fns) |
+| 4697–6062 | Manifests, bootstrap-plan, system-prompt, version, `resume_session` |
+| 5459–7047 | `StatusContext`, `BinaryProvenance`, broad-cwd policy, stale-base preflight |
+| 7048–9423 | `run_repl` interactive loop (`LiveCli` struct, streaming, heartbeat, `HookAbortMonitor`) |
+| 9424–14264 | Snapshot printers: session-list, status, sandbox, models, help topics, acp, `run_init` (L11027), `run_export` (L11715), `print_help` (L14055) |
+| 14266–19831 | In-file `mod tests` + 3 smaller test modules (one embeds a Python MCP fixture) |
+
+## CONVENTIONS
+
+- Every subcommand supports `--output-format text|json`, env-overridable.
+- `raw_args_request_json_output` pre-scans argv before parsing to suppress stderr config warnings in JSON mode.
+- Dual renderers for each output path: human text + structured `*_json`.
+- Unknown flags/typos get levenshtein-distance suggestions.
+- Comments carry issue numbers (#824, #146, etc.) when tracking known problems.
+- `main()` (L330) is only the error envelope. All real work happens in `run()`.
+- Error output always includes `status`, `error_kind`, `action`, `hint`, `exit_code` fields.
+- `classify_error_kind` maps message prefixes to snake_case kind tokens.
+- JSON errors go to stdout, text errors to stderr.
+- Sibling modules: `init.rs`, `input.rs` (rustyline), `render.rs` (MarkdownStreamState, Spinner, syntect), `setup_wizard.rs`.
+- `build.rs` injects `GIT_SHA`, `RUSTC_VERSION`, `GIT_DIRTY` via `cargo:rustc-env`.
+
+## ANTI-PATTERNS
+
+- File opens with crate-wide `#![allow(...)]` suppressing 13 lints including `dead_code` and `unused_imports`. Legacy. Do NOT extend this list.
+- 9+ functions carry `#[allow(clippy::too_many_lines)]`. Tolerated, not license for more.
+- Package/bin name mismatch: crate is `rusty-claude-cli`, binary is `claw`. Watch for this in paths and test macros.
+
+## TESTS
+
+All tests live in `tests/` (6 files), black-box style. They spawn `env!("CARGO_BIN_EXE_claw")` in unique temp dirs (AtomicU64 counter).
+
+| File | What it covers |
+|---|---|
+| `output_format_contract.rs` | ~105 tests pinning `kind`/`status`/`action` JSON contract for EVERY subcommand. Must update when adding/changing any command output. 5,986 lines. |
+| `resume_slash_commands.rs` | Resume and slash-command behavior |
+| `cli_flags_and_config_defaults.rs` | Flag parsing, config file defaults |
+| `compact_output.rs` | Compact output mode |
+| `compact_repl_panic.rs` | Nested-runtime panic regression |
+| `mock_parity_harness.rs` | Scenario-driven tests against mock-anthropic-service, driven by `rust/mock_parity_scenarios.json` |

+
+## OVERVIEW
+
+Single-crate tool surface: registry, 55 tool specs, permission-gated dispatch, all implementations. One flat `src/lib.rs` (10,892 lines, ~37% tests).
+
+## lib.rs MAP
+
+| Lines | Landmark |
+|-------------|----------|
+| 1–74 | Imports + six `global_*_registry()` OnceLock singletons (Lsp, McpTool, Team, Cron, Task, Worker) |
+| 75–483 | Registry API: `ToolManifestEntry`, `ToolSource`, `ToolRegistry`, `ToolSpec`, `GlobalToolRegistry`, `RuntimeToolDefinition`, `canonical_allowed_tool_name` |
+| 484–1348 | `mvp_tool_specs()` static table of 55 tools with inline JSON schemas |
+| 1349–1524 | `enforce_permission_check` + `execute_tool()` string-match dispatch, permission classification helpers |
+| 1525–2735 | `run_*` wrappers: deserialize input, call into `execute_*` or runtime fns |
+| 2736–2763 | `workspace_traversal_guard_tests` mod |
+| 2764–3354 | ~45 private serde IO structs |
+| 3355–6824 | Real implementations: web fetch/search, todo store, skill resolution, agent/subagent spawning (`ProviderRuntimeClient` L5182, `SubagentToolExecutor` L5361), notebook edit, sleep, config, plan-mode, structured output, REPL, PowerShell |
+| 6825–6826 | `pub mod lane_completion; pub mod pdf_extract;` |
+| 6829–10892 | `mod tests` (~4000 lines) |
+
+## ADDING A TOOL
+
+1. Add a `ToolSpec` entry in `mvp_tool_specs()`. Include `name`, `description`, `input_schema` (inline JSON), and `required_permission: PermissionMode`.
+2. Add a dispatch arm in `execute_tool()` matching the tool name string.
+3. Write a `run_<tool>()` wrapper. Deserialize input from a dedicated serde struct.
+4. Implement the actual logic below L3355 (or call into another crate).
+5. Add inline tests in `mod tests`. Follow BDD naming: `given_x_when_y_then_z`.
+6. Permission gating is automatic: `GlobalToolRegistry` / `SubagentToolExecutor` hold an optional `PermissionEnforcer` checked pre-dispatch.
+
+## CONVENTIONS
+
+- **Tool boundary signature**: `Result<String, String>`. Always.
+- **Tool naming**: snake_case for file/shell tools, PascalCase otherwise. `canonical_allowed_tool_name` normalizes aliases.
+- **State**: OnceLock registries for global singletons. JSON state files under config dirs for persistence.
+- **Input validation**: reject empty strings for todos, descriptions, prompts, messages, code. ~12 validation sites between L3806–6167. Keep that contract.
+- **Test naming**: BDD style (`given_x_when_y_then_z`).
+- **Env-mutating tests**: acquire `env_lock()` mutex first.
+- **Dependencies**: runtime, api, plugins, commands, reqwest(blocking), aspect-*, tokio.
+
+## ANTI-PATTERNS
+
+- **Don't add more `#[allow(clippy::...)]` suppressions.** ~50 `needless_pass_by_value` and several `too_many_lines` allows exist as legacy debt. Don't extend.
+- **Don't skip input validation.** Empty-string rejection is a contract across all user-facing text fields.
+- **Don't scatter implementation across new submodules.** The crate is intentionally flat (one lib.rs + two leaf mods). Only `lane_completion` and `pdf_extract` break out.
+- **Don't duplicate tool names.** The canonical name mapping already handles aliases.
+- **Don't bypass `enforce_permission_check`.** Every tool dispatch goes through permission gating. No exceptions.

+Placeholder packages follow an identical template: load
+`reference_data/subsystems/<name>.json` via `_archive_helper.load_archive_metadata()`,
+re-export `ARCHIVE_NAME`, `MODULE_COUNT`, `SAMPLE_FILES`, `PORTING_NOTE`. There is no
+voice, vim, or other real functionality behind them.
+
+## WHERE TO LOOK
+
+| Goal | Start here |
+|---|---|
+| Understand the CLI subcommands | `main.py` |
+| See which TS files map to which .py | `parity_audit.py` |
+| Find shared data structures | `models.py` |
+| Check TS archive metadata | `reference_data/` |
+| Real logic (permissions, path scoping) | `permissions.py`, `path_scope.py` |
+| Query engine shim | `query_engine.py` |
+| Runtime simulation | `runtime.py` |
+| Tests | repo-root `tests/` (test_porting_workspace.py, test_security_scope.py) |
+
+Run tests: `python -m unittest discover -s tests` from repo root.
+
+## CONVENTIONS
+
+- snake_case filenames, preserving TS names. camelCase exceptions exist where the
+  TS original used it: `QueryEngine.py`, `costHook.py`, `replLauncher.py`.
+- Every mirrored entry carries a `source_hint` pointing back to its original `.ts`/`.tsx` path.
+- `from __future__ import annotations` throughout. Stdlib only, no third-party deps.
+- `models.py` dataclasses are frozen. Renderers are `as_markdown()` / `to_markdown()`.
+- main.py simulates routing, turn-loops, bootstrap over mirrored inventories.
+  Read-only shims return handled/message results. It never calls an LLM.
+- Thin shim modules (e.g. `ink.py`) exist as backlog metadata, not working code.
+
+## ANTI-PATTERNS
+
+**Don't add real agent, tool, voice, or vim functionality here.** That belongs in
+`rust/crates/`. This tree is a scaffold, not an implementation target.
+
+**Don't commit anything from `archive/`.** The local TS snapshot
+(`archive/claude_code_ts_snapshot/src`) is gitignored. `reference_data/` holds the
+tracked extracts; work from those.
+
+**Don't let parity_audit.py drift.** When you rename a mirrored module, update the
+hard-coded mapping in `parity_audit.py` to match.
+
+**Don't add third-party dependencies.** Everything runs on stdlib.
