Expose MCP server requiredness through config parsing, inventory reports, config hashes, and degraded startup failure context so orchestrators can distinguish optional degradation from required startup breakage.
Constraint: G007-plugin-mcp Task 3 requires required vs optional MCP behavior and must not mutate .omx/ultragoal.
Rejected: Treating all MCP failures as equivalent | it preserves the existing opacity that prevents required-server failures from being escalated differently.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Preserve required=false as the backward-compatible default; keep required surfaced in JSON/text inventory and degraded failure context when extending MCP lifecycle states.

Lock the plugin inventory JSON contract so lifecycle state and lifecycle summary fields stay visible to orchestrators while allowing bundled plugins to coexist in isolated inventories.
Constraint: G007-plugin-mcp Task 1 requires plugin/MCP lifecycle contract evidence without mutating .omx/ultragoal.
Rejected: Assuming an empty plugin inventory in tests | bundled plugins are auto-synced and should not make lifecycle contract verification brittle.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep plugin inventory JSON machine-readable for lifecycle_state, lifecycle, status, and load_failures; do not collapse it back to message-only JSON.

Route plugin command rendering through the same degraded config envelope used by status and MCP, falling back to empty runtime config when config loading fails so local plugin listing remains inspectable.
Constraint: Task 4 requires malformed MCP config consistency across status, doctor, mcp, and plugins surfaces.
Rejected: Hard-failing plugins on ConfigLoader errors | inconsistent with status/mcp degraded-mode contract and hides local plugin diagnostics.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep config_load_error/status fields aligned across local introspection commands when adding new config-dependent surfaces.
Tested: cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli malformed_mcp_config -- --nocapture; cargo test -p commands mcp_degrades_gracefully_on_malformed_mcp_config_144 -- --nocapture; cargo check -p rusty-claude-cli; cargo fmt --all -- --check; claw plugins --output-format json malformed-MCP smoke.
Not-tested: full workspace clippy remains blocked by pre-existing clippy warnings in runtime and rusty-claude-cli unrelated to this change.
Constraint: G007 worker integrations added plugin command surfaces but left the REPL handler referencing a pre-refactor variable.\nRejected: Revert the worker plugin-command surface | the parser/degraded-config changes are part of the G007 scope and only needed a narrow compile repair.\nConfidence: high\nScope-risk: narrow\nDirective: Keep plugin CLI and REPL command paths routed through plugins_command_payload_for so malformed config can degrade consistently.\nTested: cargo check --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p runtime -p tools -p rusty-claude-cli -p commands -p plugins; cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p rusty-claude-cli parse_args_plugins -- --nocapture\nNot-tested: full G007 team suite pending worker completion\n\nCo-authored-by: OmX <omx@oh-my-codex.dev>
Record why the G005 branch-recovery work satisfies the roadmap pinpoints without touching leader-owned Ultragoal state.
Constraint: Task 2 requested ROADMAP.md/plan pinpoint mapping and explicitly forbids .omx/ultragoal mutation.
Rejected: leader-only mailbox note | the task prefers a repo-local docs/g005 verification map when unclaimed and absent.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep this map evidence-only; do not treat it as a substitute for leader Ultragoal checkpoints.
Tested: documentation-only map cross-checked against ROADMAP.md, prd.json, and task-1 verification output.
Not-tested: no code tests rerun after documentation-only commit.
Promote merge-ready green contracts from a level-only check to explicit provenance requirements for test commands, base freshness, recovery-attempt context, and known blocking flakes. This preserves simple level contracts while giving policy code a single satisfied-contract signal to require before merge decisions.\n\nConstraint: Task scope was limited to green_contract.rs, policy_engine.rs if needed, and narrow tests; stale_* and recovery_recipes.rs were not edited.\nRejected: Adding more boolean fields to GreenContract | clippy flagged the shape and a requirement list is more explicit.\nConfidence: high\nScope-risk: narrow\nDirective: Treat raw test level as insufficient for merge readiness unless green contract evidence is satisfied.\nTested: cargo check --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p runtime; cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p runtime; cargo clippy --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p runtime -- -D warnings; focused green_contract, policy_engine, and integration tests.\nNot-tested: full workspace cargo test due pre-existing rusty-claude-cli session_lifecycle_prefers_running_process_over_idle_shell failure observed before this slice.
Give the leader a durable integration map for G004 event/report contracts, including ownership boundaries, focused verification commands, hazards, and worker commit evidence.\n\nConstraint: Task 5 is audit/coordination only and leader owns .omx/ultragoal checkpoints.\nRejected: Expanding into approval-token implementation | worker-2 owns that lane in the G004 split.\nConfidence: high\nScope-risk: narrow\nDirective: Re-run runtime and targeted tools contracts after integrating worker branches; do not infer Codex goal state from this doc.\nTested: map content backed by task 1/2/4 verification evidence and current git history.\nNot-tested: full workspace suite.
