Doctor help was already on the local help path in current source, but the exact #702 dogfood surface lacked a focused guard and the JSON help envelope was still too prose-oriented for wrappers. Strengthen the JSON contract while preserving text help.\n\nConstraint: Preserve unrelated dirty rust/Cargo.lock from prior #701 work.\nRejected: Starting runtime/provider/session to inspect doctor semantics | help must be local and credential-free.\nConfidence: high\nScope-risk: narrow\nDirective: Keep doctor help routed through parse_local_help_action and print_help_topic; do not call run_doctor for --help.\nTested: cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p rusty-claude-cli --test output_format_contract doctor_help -- --nocapture; cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p rusty-claude-cli --test output_format_contract help -- --nocapture; cargo fmt --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml --all -- --check; cargo check --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p rusty-claude-cli; timeout 5s cargo run -q --bin claw -- --output-format json doctor --help; timeout 5s cargo run -q --bin claw -- doctor --help.\nNot-tested: full workspace test suite.
Keep malformed diff invocations with trailing JSON format flags on the parser error path and lock the contract with focused output-format regressions.
Constraint: Do not touch tracked .omx state files.
Rejected: Repeating direct binary smoke loops | local auth/provider configuration intercepts those invocations and obscures parser behavior.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow

Two classifier arms had no corresponding assert_eq! in
test_classify_error_kind_returns_correct_discriminants: invalid_history_count
(both prefix and contains paths) and unknown_option (#790). Now 49/39 = full
coverage of all classify_error_kind return values.
claw '' and claw ' ' returned empty_prompt + hint:null because the
error message had no newline delimiter. Added usage hint. 61 CLI
contract tests pass.
Parity with #791 (config extra-arg fix). The plugins arg parser emitted
'unexpected extra arguments after claw plugins show ...' with no newline
delimiter, so split_error_hint returned None. Added usage hint after newline.
60 CLI contract tests pass.
