 743. **`claw plugins help --output-format json` returned `error_kind:"unknown_plugins_action"` with `hint:null` instead of the usage envelope (`action:"help", status:"ok", unexpected:null, usage:{...}`) that `agents help`, `mcp help`, and `skills help` all emit — schema drift within the same command family (ROADMAP #420)** — dogfooded 2026-05-26 on `2036f0bd`. Fix: (a) added `Some("help" | "-h" | "--help")` arm to `handle_plugins_slash_command` returning a text usage message (text path parity); (b) added early-return JSON help envelope in `print_plugins` JSON path matching shape of agents/mcp help: `{action:"help", kind:"plugin", status:"ok", unexpected:null, usage:{direct_cli, slash_command}}`.

 744. **ROADMAP #741 has no regression test: `claw config list/show/bogus --output-format json hint` field could silently regress to null** — confirmed by gaebal-gajae on `2036f0bd`. Pattern same as #736→#737 and #740→#742: implementation fix without a pinning test. Fix: add `config_unsupported_section_json_hint_741` test iterating `[list, show, bogus, help]` and asserting `kind:config`, `status:error`, `error_kind:unsupported_config_section`, `hint` is non-empty string, `supported_sections[]` is non-empty.

+745. **`claw issue --output-format json` and all other direct-CLI slash commands (pr, commit, etc.) returned `hint: null` — the `bare_slash_command_guidance` message strings had no `\n` separator between short error and remediation text, so `split_error_hint` couldn't populate the hint field** — dogfooded 2026-05-26 on `92e053a1`. The #738 fix added `\n` to the `--resume SESSION /cmd` path but missed the direct-CLI path (e.g. `claw issue`, `claw pr`). The `bare_slash_command_guidance` function formats two message variants: resume-supported and non-resume; both lacked `\n`. Fix: add `\n` before the remediation text in both format strings.
