docs: correct agent-code binary name in warning — ROADMAP #53

'cargo install agent-code' installs 'agent.exe' (Windows) / 'agent'
(Unix), NOT 'agent-code'. Previous note said "binary name is 'agent-code'"
which sent users to the wrong command.

Updated the install warning to show the actual binary name.
ROADMAP #53 filed: package vs binary name mismatch in the install path.

 ## Quick start
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> [!WARNING]
+> **`cargo install claw-code` installs the wrong thing.** The `claw-code` crate on crates.io is a deprecated stub that places `claw-code-deprecated.exe` — not `claw`. Running it only prints `"claw-code has been renamed to agent-code"`. **Do not use `cargo install claw-code`.** Either build from source (this repo) or install the upstream binary:
+> ```bash
+> cargo install agent-code   # upstream binary — installs 'agent.exe' (Windows) / 'agent' (Unix), NOT 'agent-code'
+> ```
+> This repo (`ultraworkers/claw-code`) is **build-from-source only** — follow the steps below.
+
 ```bash
-cd rust
+# 1. Clone and build
+git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code
+cd claw-code/rust
 cargo build --workspace
-./target/debug/claw --help
-./target/debug/claw prompt "summarize this repository"
-```
 
-Authenticate with either an API key or the built-in OAuth flow:
+# 2. Set your API key (Anthropic API key — not a Claude subscription)

-```bash
 export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."

-cd rust
+# 3. Verify everything is wired correctly
-./target/debug/claw login

+
+# 4. Run a prompt
+./target/debug/claw prompt "say hello"
 ```
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> **Windows (PowerShell):** the binary is `claw.exe`, not `claw`. Use `.\target\debug\claw.exe` or run `cargo run -- prompt "say hello"` to skip the path lookup.
+
+### Windows setup
+
+**PowerShell is a supported Windows path.** Use whichever shell works for you. The common onboarding issues on Windows are:
+
+1. **Install Rust first** — download from <https://rustup.rs/> and run the installer. Close and reopen your terminal when it finishes.
+2. **Verify Rust is on PATH:**
+   ```powershell
+   cargo --version
+   ```
+   If this fails, reopen your terminal or run the PATH setup from the Rust installer output, then retry.
+3. **Clone and build** (works in PowerShell, Git Bash, or WSL):
+   ```powershell
+   git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code
+   cd claw-code/rust
+   cargo build --workspace
+   ```
+4. **Run** (PowerShell — note `.exe` and backslash):
+   ```powershell
+   $env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = "sk-ant-..."
+   .\target\debug\claw.exe prompt "say hello"
+   ```
+
+**Git Bash / WSL** are optional alternatives, not requirements. If you prefer bash-style paths (`/c/Users/you/...` instead of `C:\Users\you\...`), Git Bash (ships with Git for Windows) works well. In Git Bash, the `MINGW64` prompt is expected and normal — not a broken install.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> **Auth:** claw requires an **API key** (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, etc.) — Claude subscription login is not a supported auth path.

 31. **`code-on-disk → verified commit lands` depends on undocumented executor quirks** — dogfooded 2026-04-08 during live fix session. Three hidden contracts tripped the "last mile" path when using droid via acpx in the claw-code workspace: **(a) hidden CWD contract** — droid's `terminal/create` rejects `cd /path && cargo build` compound commands with `spawn ENOENT`; callers must pass `--cwd` or split commands; **(b) hidden commit-message transport limit** — embedding a multi-line commit message in a single shell invocation hits `ENAMETOOLONG`; workaround is `git commit -F <file>` but the caller must know to write the file first; **(c) hidden workspace lint/edition contract** — `unsafe_code = "forbid"` workspace-wide with Rust 2021 edition makes `unsafe {}` wrappers incorrect for `set_var`/`remove_var`, but droid generates Rust 2024-style unsafe blocks without inspecting the workspace Cargo.toml or clippy config. Each of these required the orchestrator to learn the constraint by failing, then switching strategies. **Acceptance bar:** a fresh agent should be able to verify/commit/push a correct diff in this workspace without needing to know executor-specific shell trivia ahead of time. **Fix shape:** (1) `run-acpx.sh`-style wrapper that normalizes the commit idiom (always writes to temp file, sets `--cwd`, splits compound commands); (2) inject workspace constraints into the droid/acpx task preamble (edition, lint gates, known shell executor quirks) so the model doesn't have to discover them from failures; (3) or upstream a fix to the executor itself so `cd /path && cmd` chains work correctly.

The gap: `openai/` prefix is correctly used for **transport selection** (pick the OpenAI-compat client) but the **wire model id** — the string placed in `"model": "..."` in the JSON request body — may not be the literal backend model string the user supplied. Two candidate failure modes: **(a)** `resolve_model_alias()` is called on the model string before it reaches the wire — alias expansion designed for Anthropic/known models corrupts a user-supplied backend-specific id; **(b)** the `openai/` routing prefix may not be stripped before `build_chat_completion_request` packages the body, so backends receive `openai/gpt-4` instead of `gpt-4`. **Fix shape:** cleanly separate transport selection from wire model id. Transport selection uses the prefix; wire model id is the user-supplied string minus only the routing prefix — no alias expansion, no prefix leakage. **Trace path for next session:** (1) find where `resolve_model_alias()` is called relative to the OpenAI-compat dispatch path; (2) inspect what `build_chat_completion_request` puts in `"model"` for an `openai/some-backend-id` input. **Source:** live user in #claw-code 2026-04-08, confirmed exact model id works outside claw, fails through claw for OpenAI-compat backend.

Added `normalize_object_schema()` in `openai_compat.rs` which recursively walks JSON Schema trees and injects `"properties": {}` and `"additionalProperties": false` on every object-type node (without overwriting existing values).

+33. **OpenAI `/responses` endpoint rejects claw's tool schema: `object schema missing properties` / `invalid_function_parameters`** — dogfooded 2026-04-08 via live user in #claw-code. Repro: startup succeeds, provider routing succeeds (`Connected: gpt-5.4 via openai`), but request fails when claw sends tool/function schema to a `/responses`-compatible OpenAI backend. Backend rejects `StructuredOutput` with `object schema missing properties` and `invalid_function_parameters`. This is distinct from the `#32` model-id passthrough issue — routing and transport work correctly. The failure is at the schema validation layer: claw's tool schema is acceptable for `/chat/completions` but not strict enough for `/responses` endpoint validation. **Sharp next check:** emit what schema claw sends for `StructuredOutput` tool functions, compare against OpenAI `/responses` spec for strict JSON schema validation (required `properties` object, `additionalProperties: false`, etc). Likely fix: add missing `properties: {}` on object types, ensure `additionalProperties: false` is present on all object schemas in the function tool JSON. **Source:** live user in #claw-code 2026-04-08 with `gpt-5.4` on OpenAI-compat backend.

+34. **`reasoning_effort` / `budget_tokens` not surfaced on OpenAI-compat path** — dogfooded 2026-04-09. Users asking for "reasoning effort parity with opencode" are hitting a structural gap: `MessageRequest` in `rust/crates/api/src/types.rs` has no `reasoning_effort` or `budget_tokens` field, and `build_chat_completion_request` in `openai_compat.rs` does not inject either into the request body. This means passing `--thinking` or equivalent to an OpenAI-compat reasoning model (e.g. `o4-mini`, `deepseek-r1`, any model that accepts `reasoning_effort`) silently drops the field — the model runs without the requested effort level, and the user gets no warning. **Contrast with Anthropic path:** `anthropic.rs` already maps `thinking` config into `anthropic.thinking.budget_tokens` in the request body. **Fix shape:** (a) Add optional `reasoning_effort: Option<String>` field to `MessageRequest`; (b) In `build_chat_completion_request`, if `reasoning_effort` is `Some`, emit `"reasoning_effort": value` in the JSON body; (c) In the CLI, wire `--thinking low/medium/high` or equivalent to populate the field when the resolved provider is `ProviderKind::OpenAi`; (d) Add unit test asserting `reasoning_effort` appears in the request body when set. **Source:** live user questions in #claw-code 2026-04-08/09 (dan_theman369 asking for "same flow as opencode for reasoning effort"; gaebal-gajae confirmed gap at `1491453913100976339`).

+37. **Claude subscription login path should be removed, not deprecated** -- dogfooded 2026-04-09. Official auth should be API key only (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OAuth access token via ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN). claw login with Claude subscription credentials creates legal/billing ambiguity. Fix: remove the subscription login surface entirely; update README/USAGE.md to say API key is the only supported path. Source: gaebal-gajae policy decision 2026-04-09.

+38. **Dead-session opacity: bot cannot self-detect compaction vs broken tool surface** -- dogfooded 2026-04-09. Jobdori session spent ~15h declaring itself "dead" in-channel while tools were actually returning correct results within each turn. Root cause: context compaction causes tool outputs to be summarised away between turns, making the bot interpret absence-of-remembered-output as tool failure. This is a distinct failure mode from ROADMAP #31 (executor quirks): the session is alive and tools are functional, but the agent cannot tell the difference between "my last tool call produced no output" (compaction) and "the tool is broken". Downstream: repetitive false-dead signals in the channel, work not getting done despite the execution surface being live. Fix shape: (a) probe with a short known-output command at turn start if context has been compacted; (b) gate "I am dead" declarations behind at least one within-turn tool call with a verified non-empty result; (c) consider adding a session-health canary cron that fires a wake with a minimal probe and checks the result.

These commands appear in the REPL completions surface but silently print 'Command registered but not yet implemented.' and return false. Users (mezz2301 in #claw-code) hit this as 'many features are not supported in this version now'. Fix shape: either (a) implement the missing commands, or (b) remove them from completions/help output until they are ready, so the discovery surface matches what actually works.

Clawhip commit `ff6d3b7` on worktree `claw-code-community-support-plugin-list-load-failures` / branch `community-support/plugin-list-load-failures`. When an installed plugin has a broken manifest (missing hook scripts, parse errors, bad json), the plugin silently fails to load and the user sees nothing — no warning, no list entry, no hint. Related to ROADMAP #27 (host plugin path leaking into tests) but at the user-facing surface: the test gap and the UX gap are siblings of the same root. Landing on `main` will close the silent-ghost class of support issues where users report "my plugin does nothing" with no error to share. Track until merged to `main`.

Clawhip commit `7d493a7` on worktree `claw-code-community-support-plugin-test-sealing` / branch `community-support/plugin-test-sealing`. Companion to #40: the test sealing gap is the CI/developer side of the same root — host `~/.claude/plugins/installed/` bleeds into CLI test runs, making regression checks non-deterministic on any machine with a non-pristine plugin install. Closely related to ROADMAP #27 (dev/rust `cargo test` reads host plugin state). Track until merged to `main`.

+42. **`--output-format json` errors emitted as prose, not JSON** — dogfooded 2026-04-09. When `claw --output-format json prompt` hits an API error, the error was printed as plain text (`error: api returned 401 ...`) to stderr instead of a JSON object. Any tool or CI step parsing claw's JSON output gets nothing parseable on failure — the error is invisible to the consumer. **Fix (`a...`):** detect `--output-format json` in `main()` at process exit and emit `{"type":"error","error":"<message>"}` to stderr instead of the prose format. Non-JSON path unchanged. **Done** in this nudge cycle.
+
+43. **Hook ingress opacity: typed hook-health/delivery report missing** — dogfooded 2026-04-09 while wiring the agentika timer→hook→session bridge. Debugging hook delivery required manual HTTP probing and inferring state from raw status codes (404 = no route, 405 = route exists, 400 = body missing required field). No typed endpoint exists to report: route present/absent, accepted methods, mapping matched/not matched, target session resolved/not resolved, last delivery failure class.

+44. **Broad-CWD guardrail is warning-only; needs policy-level enforcement** — dogfooded 2026-04-09. `5f6f453` added a stderr warning when claw starts from `$HOME` or filesystem root (live user kapcomunica scanned their whole machine). Warning is a mitigation, not a guardrail: the agent still proceeds with unbounded scope. Follow-up fix shape: (a) add `--allow-broad-cwd` flag to suppress the warning explicitly (for legitimate home-dir use cases); (b) in default interactive mode, prompt "You are running from your home directory — continue? [y/N]" and exit unless confirmed; (c) in `--output-format json` or piped mode, treat broad-CWD as a hard error (exit 1) with `{"type":"error","error":"broad CWD: running from home directory requires --allow-broad-cwd"}`.

Fix shape: (a) surface the missing path in the error message; (b) add a pre-check that explains what manifests are and where they should be (e.g. `.claw/manifests/` or the plugins directory); (c) if the command is only valid after `claw init` or after installing plugins, say so explicitly. Source: Jobdori dogfood 2026-04-09.
+
+46. **`/tokens`, `/cache`, `/stats` were dead spec — parse arms missing** — dogfooded 2026-04-09. All three had spec entries with `resume_supported: true` but no parse arms, producing the circular error "Unknown slash command: /tokens — Did you mean /tokens". Also `SlashCommand::Stats` existed but was unimplemented in both REPL and resume dispatch. **Done at `60ec2ae` 2026-04-09**: `"tokens" | "cache"` now alias to `SlashCommand::Stats`; `Stats` is wired in both REPL and resume path with full JSON output.

+47. **`/diff` fails with cryptic "unknown option 'cached'" outside a git repo; resume /diff used wrong CWD** — dogfooded 2026-04-09. `claw --resume <session> /diff` in a non-git directory produced `git diff --cached failed: error: unknown option 'cached'` because git falls back to `--no-index` mode outside a git tree. Also resume `/diff` used `session_path.parent()` (the `.claw/sessions/<id>/` dir) as CWD for the diff — never a git repo. **Done at `aef85f8` 2026-04-09**: `render_diff_report_for()` now checks `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree` first and returns a clear "no git repository" message; resume `/diff` uses `std::env::current_dir()`. Source: Jobdori dogfood 2026-04-09.

+48. **Piped stdin triggers REPL startup and banner instead of one-shot prompt** — dogfooded 2026-04-09. `echo "hello" | claw` started the interactive REPL, printed the ASCII banner, consumed the pipe without sending anything to the API, then exited. `parse_args` always returned `CliAction::Repl` when no args were given, never checking whether stdin was a pipe. **Done at `84b77ec` 2026-04-09**: when `rest.is_empty()` and stdin is not a terminal, read the pipe and dispatch as `CliAction::Prompt`. Empty pipe still falls through to REPL. Source: Jobdori dogfood 2026-04-09.

+49. **Resumed slash command errors emitted as prose in `--output-format json` mode** — dogfooded 2026-04-09. `claw --output-format json --resume <session> /commit` called `eprintln!()` and `exit(2)` directly, bypassing the JSON formatter. Both the slash-command parse-error path and the `run_resume_command` Err path now check `output_format` and emit `{"type":"error","error":"...","command":"..."}`. **Done at `da42421` 2026-04-09**.

+50. **PowerShell tool is registered as `danger-full-access` — workspace-aware reads still require escalation** — dogfooded 2026-04-10. User running `workspace-write` session mode (tanishq_devil in #claw-code) had to use `danger-full-access` even for simple in-workspace reads via PowerShell (e.g. `Get-Content`). Root cause traced by gaebal-gajae: `PowerShell` tool spec is registered with `required_permission: PermissionMode::DangerFullAccess` (same as the `bash` tool in `mvp_tool_specs`), not with per-command workspace-awareness. Bash shell and PowerShell execute arbitrary commands, so blanket promotion to `danger-full-access` is conservative — but it over-escalates read-only in-workspace operations. Fix shape: (a) add command-level heuristic analysis to the PowerShell executor (read-only commands like `Get-Content`, `Get-ChildItem`, `Test-Path` that target paths inside CWD → `WorkspaceWrite` required; everything else → `DangerFullAccess`); (b) mirror the same workspace-path check that the bash executor uses; (c) add tests covering the permission boundary for PowerShell read vs write vs network commands. Note: the `bash` tool in `mvp_tool_specs` is also `DangerFullAccess` and has the same gap — both should be fixed together.

+51. **Windows first-run onboarding missing: no explicit Rust + shell prerequisite branch** — dogfooded 2026-04-10 via #claw-code. User hit `bash: cargo: command not found`, `C:\...` vs `/c/...` path confusion in Git Bash, and misread `MINGW64` prompt as a broken MinGW install rather than normal Git Bash. Root cause: README/docs have no Windows-specific install path that says (1) install Rust first via rustup, (2) open Git Bash or WSL (not PowerShell or cmd), (3) use `/c/Users/...` style paths in bash, (4) then `cargo install claw-code`. Users can reach chat mode confusion before realizing claw was never installed. Fix shape: add a **Windows setup** section to README.md (or INSTALL.md) with explicit prerequisite steps, Git Bash vs WSL guidance, and a note that `MINGW64` in the prompt is expected and normal.

User runs `cargo install claw-code`, install succeeds, Cargo places `claw-code-deprecated.exe`, user runs `claw` and gets `command not found`. The deprecated binary only prints `"claw-code has been renamed to agent-code"`. The success signal is false-positive: install appears to work but leaves the user with no working `claw` binary. Fix shape: (a) README must warn explicitly against `cargo install claw-code` with the hyphen (current note only warns about `clawcode` without hyphen); (b) if the deprecated crate is in our control, update its binary to print a clearer redirect message including `cargo install agent-code`; (c) ensure the Windows setup doc path mentions `agent-code` explicitly.

User follows the `claw-code` rename hint to run `cargo install agent-code`, install succeeds, but the installed binary is `agent.exe` (Unix: `agent`), not `agent-code` or `agent-code.exe`. User tries `agent-code --version`, gets `command not found`, concludes install is broken. The package name (`agent-code`), the crate name, and the installed binary name (`agent`) are all different. Fix shape: docs must show the full chain explicitly: `cargo install agent-code` → run via `agent` (Unix) / `agent.exe` (Windows). ROADMAP #52 note updated with corrected binary name.
