docs(roadmap): consolidate items #407-#420 from 12 conflicting PRs

Batch-appended ROADMAP entries from PRs #2950, #2951, #2953, #2954,
#2955, #2956, #2957, #2959, #2960, #2962, #2963, #2964.

All PRs were CI-green but conflicting on ROADMAP.md due to serial
appends to the same file.

 ## Verification
-- Run Rust verification from `rust/`: `cargo fmt`, `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`, `cargo test --workspace`
+- Run Rust verification from repo root: `scripts/fmt.sh --check`; for formatting use `scripts/fmt.sh`. Run Rust clippy/tests from `rust/`: `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`, `cargo test --workspace`
 - `src/` and `tests/` are both present; update both surfaces together when behavior changes.

+------------------------------------------------
+- Selected next actionable backlog item because no active task was in progress.
+- ROADMAP #200: Interactive MCP/tool permission prompts are invisible blockers.
+- Files: rust/crates/runtime/src/worker_boot.rs, rust/crates/runtime/src/recovery_recipes.rs, ROADMAP.md, progress.txt.
+- Added tool_permission_required worker status and event classification for interactive MCP/tool permission gates.
+- Added structured ToolPermissionPrompt payload with server/tool identity and prompt preview.
+- Startup evidence now records tool_permission_prompt_detected and classifies timeout evidence as tool_permission_required.
+- Readiness snapshots now mark tool-permission-gated workers as blocked, not ready/idle.
+- Tests: targeted tool_permission regressions, full runtime test/clippy/fmt pending in Ralph verification loop.

+Iteration 2026-04-29 - ROADMAP #96 COMPLETED
+------------------------------------------------
+- Pulled origin/main: already up to date.
+- Selected ROADMAP #96 as a small repo-local Immediate Backlog item: the `claw --help` Resume-safe command summary leaked slash-command stubs despite the main Interactive command listing filtering them.
+- Files: rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/main.rs, ROADMAP.md, progress.txt.
+- Changed help rendering to filter `resume_supported_slash_commands()` through `STUB_COMMANDS` before building the Resume-safe one-liner.
+- Added `stub_commands_absent_from_resume_safe_help` regression coverage so future stub additions cannot leak into the Resume-safe summary.
+- Targeted verification: `cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli stub_commands_absent_from_resume_safe_help -- --nocapture` passed; `cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli parses_direct_cli_actions -- --nocapture` passed.
+- Format/check verification: `cargo fmt --all --check`, `git diff --check`, and `cargo check -p rusty-claude-cli` passed.
+- Broader clippy note: `cargo clippy -p rusty-claude-cli --all-targets -- -D warnings` is blocked by pre-existing `clippy::unnecessary_wraps` failures in `rust/crates/commands/src/lib.rs` (`render_mcp_report_for`, `render_mcp_report_json_for`), outside this diff.

 ## Verification
-- Run Rust verification from the repo root: `cargo fmt`, `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`, `cargo test --workspace`
+- From the repository root, run Rust formatting with `scripts/fmt.sh` (or `scripts/fmt.sh --check` for CI-style checks). From this `rust/` directory, the equivalent command is `../scripts/fmt.sh`. Root-level `cargo fmt --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml` is not the supported formatting command.
+- From this `rust/` directory, run Rust verification with `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings` and `cargo test --workspace`.
 
 ## Working agreement
 - Prefer small, reviewable changes and keep generated bootstrap files aligned with actual repo workflows.
