 347. **Top-level `mcp show <missing-server> --output-format json` reports a missing server as `status:"ok"` instead of a typed not-found/error status** — dogfooded 2026-04-29 for the 20:30 nudge on current `origin/main` / rebuilt `./rust/target/debug/claw` with embedded `git_sha` `ee41b266`. After rebuilding and verifying the binary provenance, running `./rust/target/debug/claw mcp show does-not-exist --output-format json` returned stdout JSON with `{"action":"show","config_load_error":null,"found":false,"kind":"mcp","message":"server `does-not-exist` is not configured","server_name":"does-not-exist","status":"ok"}` and no stderr. `found:false` is useful, but pairing it with `status:"ok"` makes the command-level outcome ambiguous: a missing requested server is not an OK inspection result for automation that needs to distinguish successful detail retrieval from a not-found lookup. This is distinct from #327's MCP source-list mismatch and the invalid #2874/#2879/#2880 hang/nondeterminism hypotheses that were closed after bounded repros. **Required fix shape:** (a) return a typed not-found status such as `status:"not_found"` or `kind:"error"` plus `code:"mcp_server_not_found"` while preserving `server_name` and optional `available_servers[]`; (b) document whether `found:false` objects are considered success or error and keep that convention consistent across text and JSON modes; (c) ensure process exit semantics match the JSON status contract or expose a separate `exit_ok`/`lookup_status` field; (d) add regression coverage proving missing-server lookup is distinguishable from successful server detail retrieval without parsing the human `message`. **Why this matters:** MCP inspection is a control-plane diagnostic. If a missing server returns `status:"ok"`, claws can silently treat a failed lookup as healthy MCP state unless they special-case `found:false`, which defeats the purpose of a clear machine-readable status field.

 348. **Top-level `plugins list --output-format json` returns plugin inventory only as a prose `message` string instead of structured `plugins[]` entries** — dogfooded 2026-04-29 for the 21:00 nudge on current `origin/main` / rebuilt `./rust/target/debug/claw` with embedded `git_sha` `cca6f682`. Running `./rust/target/debug/claw plugins list --output-format json` repeatedly returned valid stdout JSON with `{"action":"list","kind":"plugin","message":"Plugins\n  example-bundled      v0.1.0      disabled\n  sample-hooks         v0.1.0      disabled","reload_runtime":false,"target":null}` and no stderr. The actual plugin names, versions, and enabled/disabled states are present only inside the human-formatted `message` table; there is no `plugins[]` array, no per-plugin `name`, `version`, `enabled`, `source`, `load_error`, or lifecycle/action metadata. This is distinct from #325's broad help JSON opacity and the config/MCP/agent items: the affected surface is plugin lifecycle inventory, where automation needs a structured list before enabling, disabling, updating, or uninstalling plugins. **Required fix shape:** (a) add `plugins[]` with stable per-plugin fields such as `name`, `version`, `enabled`, `source`, `configured`, `load_status`, and optional `error`; (b) keep `message` only as a human summary, not the sole inventory payload; (c) expose counts and truncation metadata if the list can be large; (d) add regression coverage proving `plugins list --output-format json` can be parsed without scraping the prose message and that disabled/enabled state survives as booleans/enums. **Why this matters:** plugin lifecycle management is a control-plane path. If the JSON inventory is just a text table, claws must scrape spacing-sensitive prose before deciding whether a plugin is installed, disabled, broken, or safe to mutate.

 349. **Top-level `plugins show <name> --output-format json` returns success-shaped JSON for an unsupported plugin action instead of a typed unsupported-action error** — dogfooded 2026-04-29 for the 21:30 nudge on current `origin/main` / rebuilt `./rust/target/debug/claw` with embedded `git_sha` `a2a38df9`. After rebuilding and verifying the binary provenance, repeated bounded runs of `./rust/target/debug/claw plugins show does-not-exist --output-format json` returned stdout JSON with `{"action":"show","kind":"plugin","message":"Unknown /plugins action 'show'. Use list, install, enable, disable, uninstall, or update.","reload_runtime":false,"target":"does-not-exist"}` and no stderr. The command therefore reports the requested unsupported action as the top-level `action:"show"` and exits successfully while hiding the failure class inside a human `message`; it does not provide `status:"unsupported_action"`, `code:"plugin_action_unsupported"`, or structured `supported_actions[]`. This is distinct from #348's prose-only plugin inventory schema: #348 covers `plugins list` payload shape, while this pinpoint covers unsupported plugin action classification and recovery metadata. **Required fix shape:** (a) return a typed stdout JSON error or explicit non-ok status for unsupported plugin actions, with `requested_action`, `supported_actions`, and `target` fields; (b) do not label the primary `action` as the unsupported requested verb unless a separate `status`/`code` makes the failure unambiguous; (c) keep the human message optional and avoid making it the only way to detect the unsupported action; (d) add regression coverage proving `plugins show foo --output-format json` is machine-classifiable as unsupported without scraping prose. **Why this matters:** plugin lifecycle automation follows action/status fields. If an unsupported mutation/inspection verb returns success-shaped JSON and only says "Unknown" in prose, claws can treat a failed preflight as a valid plugin show result and continue toward unsafe lifecycle actions.

+350. **`/plugins enable <nonexistent-plugin> --output-format json` times out and produces 0 bytes; hangs silently for 8+ seconds** — dogfooded 2026-04-30 by gaebal-gajae on `ee44ff98`. Running `./rust/target/debug/claw --output-format json --resume latest /plugins enable does-not-exist` with a plugin name that does not exist in the available plugins list hangs for approximately 8 seconds on repeated samples and returns 0 bytes on stdout and stderr, with no error envelope, no timeout exception, and no graceful degradation. A third sample remain stuck, suggesting a potential deadlock or resource exhaustion. The command should either: (a) return immediately with `{"kind":"error","code":"plugin_not_found","plugin_name":"does-not-exist","available_plugins":[...]}` on stdout, or (b) return a timeout error if the hang is a bug in plugin lookup. The silent 8-second hang without output breaks orchestration timeout windows (typical CI/RPC timeouts are 5-30 seconds) and provides no diagnostic information. **Required fix shape:** (a) add pre-flight plugin validation before any async operations, so unknown plugin names fail fast with a structured error; (b) if plugin lookup requires I/O, wrap with a timeout (suggested: 1 second) and emit a typed error on timeout; (c) ensure both success and error paths emit JSON when `--output-format json` is set; (d) add regression coverage confirming `/plugins enable <nonexistent>` returns within 1 second with a structured error.
