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>
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.
Add a runtime approval-token ledger so policy-blocked actions can require scoped owner grants, consume one-time tokens, reject replay, and retain delegation traceability.\n\nConstraint: Task 3 scope is the G004 approval-token chain for runtime event/report contract families.\nRejected: Extending the existing permission prompt path directly | the token contract can be tested independently without changing live tool authorization behavior.\nConfidence: high\nScope-risk: narrow\nDirective: Keep approval grants scoped to policy/action/repo/branch before wiring them into external execution paths.\nTested: cargo check --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml --workspace; cargo test --manifest-path rust/crates/runtime/Cargo.toml; cargo test --manifest-path rust/crates/runtime/Cargo.toml approval_token -- --nocapture\nNot-tested: cargo clippy --manifest-path rust/crates/runtime/Cargo.toml --all-targets -- -D warnings is blocked by pre-existing warnings in compact.rs, file_ops.rs, policy_engine.rs, and sandbox.rs.
Constraint: G003 boot/session work adds a structured doctor boot-preflight check that must be visible in JSON output.
Rejected: reducing the doctor check count back to six | boot preflight is an explicit G003 acceptance surface.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep doctor/status JSON contract tests aligned with boot_preflight schema fields when extending preflight diagnostics.
Tested: git diff --check; cargo fmt --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml --all -- --check; cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p runtime trusted_roots -- --nocapture; cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p runtime startup -- --nocapture; cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p runtime worker_boot -- --nocapture; cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p tools path_scope -- --nocapture; cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p rusty-claude-cli --test output_format_contract -- --nocapture; cargo check --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml --workspace
Not-tested: full cargo test --workspace remains deferred during active G003 team reconciliation.
