map g004 event report verification lanes

Give the leader a durable integration map for G004 event/report contracts, including ownership boundaries, focused verification commands, hazards, and worker commit evidence.\n\nConstraint: Task 5 is audit/coordination only and leader owns .omx/ultragoal checkpoints.\nRejected: Expanding into approval-token implementation | worker-2 owns that lane in the G004 split.\nConfidence: high\nScope-risk: narrow\nDirective: Re-run runtime and targeted tools contracts after integrating worker branches; do not infer Codex goal state from this doc.\nTested: map content backed by task 1/2/4 verification evidence and current git history.\nNot-tested: full workspace suite.

 420. **`plugins help --output-format json` returns the mutation response shape (`message`, `reload_runtime`, `target`) instead of the help envelope (`action:"help"`, `kind`, `unexpected`, `usage`) that `mcp help`, `agents help`, and `skills help` all use — schema drift within the same command family** — dogfooded 2026-05-01 by Jobdori on `e939777f`. Running `claw plugins help --output-format json` returns `{"action":"help","kind":"plugin","message":"Unknown /plugins action 'help'. Use list, install, enable, disable, uninstall, or update.","reload_runtime":false,"target":null}`. By contrast, `claw mcp help --output-format json`, `claw agents help --output-format json`, and `claw skills help --output-format json` all return a help envelope: `{"action":"help","kind":"<surface>","unexpected":null,"usage":{"direct_cli":"...","slash_command":"...","sources":[...]}}`. The `plugins` subgroup has not adopted the help envelope schema used by all sibling subgroups. Instead it uses the mutation response shape (`message`, `reload_runtime`, `target`) with an error string in `message` that calls `help` an "unknown action." Automation that checks `usage.direct_cli` to discover plugin commands gets a `TypeError` (key not found) on the plugins help path while succeeding on all sibling subgroups. **Required fix shape:** (a) make `plugins help` return the same help envelope as `mcp help`/`agents help`/`skills help`: `{action:"help", kind:"plugin", unexpected:null, usage:{direct_cli:"claw plugins [list|enable|disable|install|uninstall|update|help]", slash_command:"/plugins [...]", sources:[...]}`; (b) drop `reload_runtime` and `target` from help responses for all plugin subcommands; (c) add regression coverage proving `plugins help --output-format json` contains a `usage.direct_cli` field matching the same envelope shape as `mcp help`/`agents help`/`skills help`; (d) audit all subgroup `help` handlers for the same mutation-envelope contamination. **Why this matters:** help discovery is the bootstrap surface for automation. If `plugins help --output-format json` returns a mutation envelope with an error message instead of a usage envelope, automated schema discovery fails silently for the entire plugins subgroup while working for every other subgroup.

+421. **`status`, `mcp list`, `doctor` JSON output leak macOS `/private` symlink-canonicalized cwd instead of user-invocation cwd — automation that string-matches on cwd breaks across symlinked filesystems** — dogfooded 2026-05-11 by Jobdori on `b98b9a71` in response to Clawhip pinpoint nudge at `1503207549447573574`. Reproduction on macOS: invoke from `/tmp/claw-dog-cwd` (where `/tmp` symlinks to `/private/tmp`), then `claw status --output-format json` returns `workspace.cwd: "/private/tmp/claw-dog-cwd"`, `claw mcp list --output-format json` returns `working_directory: "/private/tmp/claw-dog-cwd"`. The user's invocation cwd (`$PWD`, `pwd`) is `/tmp/claw-dog-cwd`. Source: `session_control.rs:34` calls `fs::canonicalize(cwd)` for #151 cross-worktree session-bleed prevention, then leaks the canonicalized path through every JSON envelope that reports cwd. **Required fix shape:** (a) keep canonicalized cwd for session keying internally, but report user-input cwd (the value passed by `env::current_dir()` or `--cwd` flag) in JSON output as `cwd`; (b) optionally expose canonical path as a separate field `cwd_canonical` for diagnostic purposes; (c) audit every `--output-format json` surface that emits `cwd` / `working_directory` / `workspace.cwd` for the same leak (status, mcp list, doctor, session list, init, etc.); (d) add regression coverage proving JSON cwd matches `$PWD` on macOS where `/tmp -> /private/tmp` symlink exists. **Why this matters:** automation pipelines that route work to lanes by cwd, or that compare cwd against a registry, break across macOS hosts because the canonicalized form differs from the form the user/orchestrator passed. The leak is silent — no documentation indicates the path will be rewritten. Source: Jobdori live dogfood, `b98b9a71`, 2026-05-11.

+422. **Unknown top-level subcommands fall through to chat prompt path instead of returning `unknown_subcommand` error — typos silently send the subcommand string as a chat message to the configured LLM** — dogfooded 2026-05-11 by Jobdori on `b98b9a71` in response to Clawhip pinpoint nudge at `1503215095088676956`. Reproduction: `unset ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN; export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=fake-key-for-routing-test; claw completely-bogus-subcommand --output-format json` returns `{"error":"api returned 401 Unauthorized (authentication_error) [trace req_011...]: invalid x-api-key","kind":"api_http_error"}` — proving the unknown token reached the Anthropic API endpoint as a chat prompt. With valid credentials, the bogus subcommand string would be silently consumed as a chat message, billing the user for a typo and producing whatever continuation the LLM generates. **Pre-error path:** `claw <unknown> --output-format json` with no creds returns `kind:"missing_credentials"` (the auth gate fires first), masking the routing bug. Only with creds present does the fallthrough manifest as the actual prompt being sent. **Sibling exit-code bug:** when the chat-path 401 returns, the JSON envelope is `kind:"api_http_error"` but exit code is **0**, while `cli_parse` errors (e.g. `--no-such-flag`) and `missing_credentials` errors correctly exit **1**. Exit-code parity between error envelopes is broken — automation that gates on `$?` will treat the 401-as-chat as success. **Required fix shape:** (a) reserve unknown top-level tokens that match no registered subcommand and emit `kind:"unknown_subcommand"` with `unknown:<token>` field and exit code 1, BEFORE the chat fallback path; (b) when a token is intended as a chat prompt, require an explicit verb (`prompt`, `chat`, `ask`) or `--prompt` flag; (c) ensure exit codes are non-zero for all `kind:*_error` envelopes; (d) regression test: `claw <bogus> --output-format json` with valid auth returns `kind:"unknown_subcommand"` exit 1, never reaches the API. **Why this matters:** automation that calls `claw <subcommand>` with a programmatically constructed verb (typo, version drift, refactored command) silently bills tokens and produces hallucinated output instead of a typed error. Cross-cluster with #108 (CLI fallthrough discovered earlier) — #422 is the post-#108 audit confirming the routing bug still bites with valid credentials.

+423. **`claw prompt` does not read prompt text from stdin when no positional prompt arg is provided — `echo "what is 2+2" | claw prompt --output-format json` returns `kind:"unknown" error:"prompt subcommand requires a prompt string"` instead of consuming stdin** — dogfooded 2026-05-11 by Jobdori on `3c563fa1` in response to Clawhip pinpoint nudge at `1503222644739276951`. Reproduction: `echo "what is 2+2" | claw prompt --output-format json` → `{"error":"prompt subcommand requires a prompt string","hint":null,"kind":"unknown","type":"error"}` exit 1. Same for `claw prompt --output-format json` with stdin redirected from a file. The most common Unix automation pattern (`cmd | claw prompt`) is broken because the prompt subcommand only reads the positional argument, never falls through to stdin. **Sibling envelope-kind bug:** the error `kind` is `"unknown"` instead of a typed `"missing_argument"` or `"validation_error"`. The `unknown` discriminator is the catch-all bucket — automation that switches on `kind` to differentiate input-validation errors from runtime errors gets no signal here. **Required fix shape:** (a) when `prompt` subcommand has no positional prompt arg AND stdin is not a TTY (i.e., piped or redirected), read stdin to EOF and use that as the prompt; (b) emit `kind:"missing_argument"` (not `"unknown"`) when both positional arg and stdin are absent; (c) add `--prompt-stdin` or `--stdin` opt-in flag for explicit control; (d) regression tests: `echo X | claw prompt --output-format json` reaches the runtime with prompt=X, AND `claw prompt < /dev/null` returns `kind:"missing_argument"` exit 1. **Why this matters:** Unix pipelines are the foundation of CLI automation. Every other major CLI (curl, jq, gh, kubectl) accepts stdin as the primary input when no positional arg is given. Breaking this convention forces automation to either inline the prompt as a shell-quoted string (escaping nightmare for multiline/code) or write to a temp file first. The `kind:"unknown"` error category compounds the problem by making the failure indistinguishable from a runtime crash. Source: Jobdori live dogfood, `3c563fa1`, 2026-05-11.

+424. **`--model` rejects bare canonical Anthropic model names (`claude-opus-4-7`, `claude-opus-4-6`, `claude-sonnet-4-6`) as `invalid_model_syntax` — only short aliases (`opus`, `sonnet`, `haiku`) and full prefixed form (`anthropic/claude-opus-4-7`) work; sibling: error message stale-suggests `claude-opus-4-6` not `4-7`** — dogfooded 2026-05-11 by Jobdori on `6c0c305a` in response to Clawhip pinpoint nudge at `1503230194889134103`. Reproduction: `claw --model claude-opus-4-7 status --output-format json` → `{"error":"invalid model syntax: 'claude-opus-4-7'. Expected provider/model (e.g., anthropic/claude-opus-4-6) or known alias (opus, sonnet, haiku)","kind":"invalid_model_syntax"}`. Same for `claude-opus-4-6`, `claude-sonnet-4-6`. Forcing `--model anthropic/claude-opus-4-7` works (`model:"anthropic/claude-opus-4-7"`, `model_source:"flag"`). Three problems compounded: (a) Anthropic-canonical model names without provider prefix are rejected even though the `claude-` prefix unambiguously identifies the provider; (b) the error suggests `anthropic/claude-opus-4-6` as the example — `4-7` shipped 2026-04-16 and is the current production Anthropic frontier model, the suggestion is one model behind; (c) the alias list `opus, sonnet, haiku` doesn't disambiguate version (which `opus` does the alias resolve to — `opus-4-6` or `opus-4-7`?). **Required fix shape:** (a) accept bare `claude-*` and `gpt-*` model names as canonical-named-without-prefix and route via name-prefix detection (already implemented for prefix-routed mode); (b) update the example in `invalid_model_syntax` error to current frontier (`anthropic/claude-opus-4-7`); (c) document or expose `opus` → exact-version mapping in the error message and in `claw doctor`/`status` output (`model_alias_resolved_to: "claude-opus-4-7"`); (d) regression test: `claw --model claude-opus-4-7 status --output-format json` returns `model_source:"flag"`, not `kind:"invalid_model_syntax"`. **Sibling bug observed in same probe:** `enabledPlugins` deprecation warning repeats 3 times in stderr for the same `~/.claw/settings.json` load — config file is being loaded/parsed 3 times during a single `status` invocation. **Why this matters:** every Anthropic doc, every CCAPI route, every internal tooling references models by their bare canonical name (`claude-opus-4-7`). Forcing the `anthropic/` prefix breaks copy-paste from Anthropic's own examples and adds a redundant token to every invocation. The stale `4-6` suggestion in the error message actively misdirects users away from the current model. Source: Jobdori live dogfood, `6c0c305a`, 2026-05-11.

+425. **Config file precedence (`.claw/settings.json` always wins over `.claw.json`) is undocumented in user-facing surfaces — `config --output-format json` reports both files as `loaded:true` with no `precedence_rank` or `wins_for_keys` attribution; sibling: deprecation warning fires 4× per status invocation (was 3× in #424, regression upward)** — dogfooded 2026-05-11 by Jobdori on `d7dbe951` in response to Clawhip pinpoint nudge at `1503237744451649537`. Reproduction: create `.claw.json` with `{"model":"anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6"}` and `.claw/settings.json` with `{"model":"anthropic/claude-opus-4-7"}` in the same workspace. `claw status --output-format json` returns `model:"anthropic/claude-opus-4-7", model_source:"config"`. Reverse the files (.claw.json=opus, settings.json=sonnet) → `model:"anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6"`. Confirmed: `.claw/settings.json` **always** wins over `.claw.json` for conflicting keys, regardless of file mtime or alphabetical order. `claw config --output-format json` reports both as `loaded:true` with no `precedence_rank`, `effective_for_keys`, or `shadowed_keys` attribution. The only signal of precedence is the final merged value in `status` — automation cannot programmatically discover which file contributed which key without re-implementing the merge logic. **Sibling bug (regression from #424):** the `enabledPlugins` deprecation warning now fires **4 times** in stderr per single `status` invocation (was 3× in #424's probe at HEAD `6c0c305a`; current HEAD `d7dbe951` shows 4×). Config load count went up by 1. **Sibling bug observed in config-section probe:** `claw config model --output-format json` with a `.claw.json` that contains a benign unknown key (e.g., `"alpha":"x"`) returns `{"error":"/path/.claw.json: unknown key \"alpha\" (line 1)","kind":"unknown"}` — the entire config command fails with a generic `unknown` kind instead of (a) tolerating unrecognized keys with a warning, or (b) emitting a typed `kind:"unknown_key"` error scoped to the offending file/key. **Required fix shape:** (a) document precedence order in `USAGE.md` (`.claw/settings.local.json > .claw/settings.json > .claw.json` for project scope; `user`/`system` scope at each layer); (b) add `precedence_rank:int` and optional `wins_for_keys:[string]` / `shadowed_keys:[string]` to each entry in `config --output-format json` `files[]`; (c) dedupe the deprecation warning to fire **once per discovered file** instead of N× per load pass; (d) make `config <section> --output-format json` tolerate unknown keys with warnings, OR emit `kind:"unknown_key"` with `path:` and `key:` fields scoped to the offending file. **Why this matters:** users mixing legacy `.claw.json` with new `.claw/settings.json` have no way to verify which file is actually controlling their runtime. The undocumented precedence + missing per-key attribution forces trial-and-error to debug config drift. Cross-references #407 (config files no load_error) and #415 (config section returns merged_keys count not values). Source: Jobdori live dogfood, `d7dbe951`, 2026-05-11.

+426. **`ANTHROPIC_MODEL` env var bypasses the `invalid_model_syntax` validator that `--model` enforces — bogus model strings are accepted with `status:"ok"`, deferred-failing only when the first API call is made** — dogfooded 2026-05-11 by Jobdori on `3730b459` in response to Clawhip pinpoint nudge at `1503245298800136296`. Reproduction (asymmetric validation): `claw --model bogus-model-xyz status --output-format json` returns `kind:"invalid_model_syntax"` exit 1; `ANTHROPIC_MODEL=bogus-model-xyz claw status --output-format json` returns `model:"bogus-model-xyz", model_raw:"bogus-model-xyz", model_source:"env", status:"ok"` — the doctor surface lies that the configured model is valid when it is not. The bogus model only manifests as a failure when the first prompt fires and the API rejects it with 404/400. Three sibling discoveries in the same probe: (a) **alias indirection invisible**: `ANTHROPIC_MODEL=opus claw status --output-format json` returns `model:"claude-opus-4-6", model_raw:"opus", model_source:"env"` — the `opus` alias resolves to `claude-opus-4-6` (the *previous* frontier, not the current `claude-opus-4-7` released 2026-04-16). Users typing `opus` get yesterday's model with no warning. (b) **`CLAW_MODEL` env var silently ignored**: `CLAW_MODEL=opus claw status` shows `model:"claude-opus-4-6" model_source:"default"` — the `CLAW_MODEL` env var (the project-namespaced equivalent that users expect) does not exist; only `ANTHROPIC_MODEL` is honored. No warning when a `CLAW_*` env var that looks like it should work is set. (c) **`ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_MODEL` also silently ignored**: the longer-named env var that some Anthropic SDKs use is not recognized. **Required fix shape:** (a) symmetric validation: `ANTHROPIC_MODEL` env value must pass the same `invalid_model_syntax` check that `--model` does, and `claw status` must return `kind:"invalid_model"` / `status:"warn"` (not `status:"ok"`) when the resolved model is unrecognized; (b) expose alias resolution in `status`: add `model_alias_resolved_to:string|null` field so automation can see `opus → claude-opus-4-6`; (c) bump the `opus` alias to `claude-opus-4-7` (current frontier) or document the alias-to-version mapping policy explicitly; (d) accept `CLAW_MODEL` and `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_MODEL` env vars with parity to `ANTHROPIC_MODEL`, OR emit a warning when those env vars are set but unrecognized. **Why this matters:** the most common automation pattern is `export ANTHROPIC_MODEL=...` in a shell rc file. Bogus values pass silently, alias indirection hides the actual model in use, and `CLAW_MODEL` looking like a working name but doing nothing is a footgun. Cross-references #424 (bare canonical names rejected at validator level) — together #424 + #426 make model selection inconsistent across CLI flag, env var, and alias paths. Source: Jobdori live dogfood, `3730b459`, 2026-05-11.

+427. **Subcommand `--help` paths (`resume`, `session`, `compact`) hit the auth gate and trigger config validation before returning static help — `claw resume --help` with no credentials returns `missing_credentials` error instead of help text** — dogfooded 2026-05-11 by Jobdori on `1fecdf09` in response to Clawhip pinpoint nudge at `1503252843669491892`. Reproduction (no env vars, isolated `CLAW_CONFIG_HOME`): `claw resume --help` returns `{"error":"missing Anthropic credentials; export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY..."}` instead of usage text. Same for `claw session --help`, `claw compact --help`. By contrast, `claw prompt --help` and `claw --help` (top-level) return proper usage text without auth. Even worse: with a broken `.claw.json` discovered up the parent directory tree (e.g., `mcpServers.missing-command: missing string field command`), the subcommand `--help` paths fail with `[error-kind: unknown]` from config validation — config load is happening before `--help` is parsed. **Sibling exit-code bug:** `claw resume --help --output-format json` returns `kind:"missing_credentials"` but exits **0** (the exit-code parity bug from #422 reproduces on this path too — only `cli_parse` exits 1 consistently). **Sibling: `claw resume <bogus-id>` should be local-only** but also hits `missing_credentials` — `resume` of a session that doesn't exist on disk should return `kind:"session_not_found"` from a local lookup, not require API credentials. Same class as ROADMAP #357 (session list requires creds) and #369 (session help/fork require credentials) — now confirmed for `resume`. **Required fix shape:** (a) `--help` MUST short-circuit before any auth check, config load, or session resolution — emit static usage text from a compiled-in string table, no I/O; (b) `resume <id>` must check the local session store first; if the id is absent on disk, emit `kind:"session_not_found"` with `sessions_dir` field; only require auth when resuming a known-on-disk session that requires re-establishing API context; (c) ensure exit code 1 for all error envelopes including `missing_credentials` returned from a `--help` path that should never have reached the auth gate; (d) regression test: with empty `CLAW_CONFIG_HOME` and no env vars, every `claw <subcommand> --help` returns usage text on stdout, exit 0, no `kind:*_error` envelope. **Why this matters:** `--help` is the universal CLI discovery primitive. Failing `--help` because of missing API credentials or broken config files makes claw undiscoverable to users debugging an already-broken setup. Cross-references #357 (session list), #369 (session help/fork), #422 (exit code parity), #108 (subcommand fallthrough). Source: Jobdori live dogfood, `1fecdf09`, 2026-05-11.

+428. **Default `permission_mode` is `danger-full-access` — claw runs with FULL filesystem + network + tool access out of the box, with no opt-in flag and no warning from `doctor`** — dogfooded 2026-05-11 by Jobdori on `72048449` in response to Clawhip pinpoint nudge at `1503260393622212628`. Reproduction (no env vars, isolated `CLAW_CONFIG_HOME`, no config files, no CLI flags): `claw status --output-format json` returns `permission_mode:"danger-full-access"` as the default. The three supported modes per the validator error message are `read-only`, `workspace-write`, `danger-full-access` — and `danger-full-access` is chosen with zero user opt-in. `claw doctor --output-format json` produces a `sandbox` check with `status:"warn", summary:"sandbox was requested but is not currently active"` (because macOS lacks Linux `unshare`), but **emits no warning, info, or summary about the permission_mode itself being danger-full-access**. There is no `permissions` check in `doctor` output at all. **Required fix shape:** (a) change default `permission_mode` to `workspace-write` (safe-by-default: filesystem write limited to cwd, network limited to LLM endpoints, no arbitrary command exec); (b) require explicit `--permission-mode danger-full-access` or `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to opt into full access; (c) add a `permissions` check to `doctor --output-format json` that emits `status:"warn"` when `permission_mode == "danger-full-access"` without explicit source (flag/env/config), with details like `mode:"danger-full-access", source:"default", message:"running with full access without explicit opt-in"`; (d) document the three modes and the default in USAGE.md with one-paragraph descriptions of what each mode allows. **Sibling typed-error bug:** `claw --permission-mode bogus-mode status --output-format json` returns `kind:"unknown"` instead of `kind:"invalid_permission_mode"` — same catch-all problem as #424, #426. **Sibling flag-name asymmetry:** `--dangerously-skip-permissions` works but `--skip-permissions` (Claude Code's flag) returns `kind:"cli_parse"` `unknown option`. Users migrating from Claude Code lose the short flag name. **Why this matters:** every other security-conscious CLI (Docker, kubectl, terraform) requires explicit opt-in for dangerous modes. Defaulting to `danger-full-access` is a footgun for first-time users who pipe `curl install.sh | sh` and immediately get a tool with full filesystem write and arbitrary command exec. The doctor surface is the only diagnostic users consult before trusting the tool, and it stays silent about the most permissive setting. Cross-references #50, #87, #91, #94, #97, #101, #106, #115, #123 (permission-audit sweep) — those all cover permission *rule* and *list* surfaces; #428 covers the *mode default* itself.

+429. **No global `--cwd`/`-C`/`--directory` flag — `claw` cannot be invoked against an arbitrary working directory without first `cd`-ing into it; `--cwd` only exists as a subcommand option for `system-prompt`, and the `cli_parse` "Did you mean --acp?" suggestion is misleading (the `--acp` flag is unrelated to directory selection)** — dogfooded 2026-05-11 by Jobdori on `ec882f4c` in response to Clawhip pinpoint nudge at `1503267943285264394`. Reproduction: `claw --cwd /tmp/claw-dog-cwd status --output-format json` → `{"error":"unknown option: --cwd","hint":"Did you mean --acp?\nRun `claw --help` for usage.","kind":"cli_parse"}`. Same error for `--cwd <relative>`, `--cwd <nonexistent>`, `--cwd <file-not-dir>`, `--cwd ""`. Inspecting `claw --help`: `--cwd PATH` appears ONLY in the usage line `claw system-prompt [--cwd PATH] [--date YYYY-MM-DD]` — it is not a global flag and is not accepted by `status`, `doctor`, `mcp list`, `init`, or any other subcommand. Users programmatically running claw against multiple workspaces must `cd` into each one before invoking, breaking the `subprocess.run(['claw', 'status', '--cwd', ws], cwd=other_dir)` pattern that every other major CLI (cargo `-C`, git `-C`, npm `--prefix`, gh `--repo` semantically, kubectl `--kubeconfig`+`--context`) supports. **Sibling misleading-suggestion bug:** the `cli_parse` error's `hint` field suggests `Did you mean --acp?` for `--cwd`. `--acp` is the alias for ACP/Zed editor integration (entirely unrelated to working directory). The Levenshtein-distance auto-complete is matching on first-character similarity without considering semantic relatedness. Users following the hint get a totally orthogonal feature. **Required fix shape:** (a) add a global `--cwd PATH` / `-C PATH` flag accepted before any subcommand, parsed in the global flag pre-pass; (b) validate the path exists and is a directory; emit `kind:"invalid_cwd"` with `path:` and `reason:` (`"not_found"`/`"not_a_directory"`/`"empty"`) when validation fails; (c) document the precedence: `--cwd` flag > `$PWD` > `env::current_dir()`; (d) fix the "Did you mean" hint algorithm to filter suggestions by semantic category (don't suggest `--acp` for `--cwd`; suggest `claw system-prompt --cwd PATH` if the user clearly wants `cwd` override but used the wrong scope); (e) regression test: `claw --cwd /tmp status --output-format json` from any `$PWD` returns `workspace.cwd:"/private/tmp"` (or `cwd:"/tmp"` after #421 fix). **Why this matters:** every claw automation orchestrator runs claw against multiple workspaces from a single parent process. Forcing `cd` before each invocation breaks parallelism (can't use shared cwd across concurrent invocations), breaks subprocess wrappers that want to pass cwd explicitly, and breaks `xargs`/`parallel`-style pipelines.

Reproduction: `claw dump-manifests --output-format json` returns `{"error":"Manifest source files are missing.","hint":"repo root: /private/tmp/claw-dog-0530\n  missing: src/commands.ts, src/tools.ts, src/entrypoints/cli.tsx\n  Hint: set CLAUDE_CODE_UPSTREAM=/path/to/upstream or pass \`claw dump-manifests --manifests-dir /path/to/upstream\`.","kind":"missing_manifests"}`. The fresh-main worktree at `/private/tmp/claw-dog-0530` does not contain these TypeScript files because the Rust port doesn't include the upstream TS source. The `--help` text says the command works against "the current cwd" but in practice it requires `CLAUDE_CODE_UPSTREAM=` pointing at an unshipped TS source tree. **Three sibling problems compounded:** (a) **derivative-work disclosure leak**: the error message exposes that `claw-code` is a port of Claude Code (`CLAUDE_CODE_UPSTREAM` env var name) — even if true, surfacing this in a casual diagnostic message couples user-facing behavior to upstream provenance details. (b) **kind drift**: `claw dump-manifests --manifests-dir /tmp/nonexistent --output-format json` returns `kind:"unknown"`, while `claw dump-manifests` (no override) returns `kind:"missing_manifests"`. Same root cause (no usable upstream), two different `kind` discriminators — automation cannot switch on a single error type. (c) **export-positional-arg silently dropped**: probed in the same run — `claw export <bogus-positional>` ignores the path and returns `kind:"no_managed_sessions"` regardless of what positional arg was passed. The `--help` advertises `[PATH]` as the output-file destination but the path is discarded before validation, indistinguishable from invocation with no args. **Required fix shape:** (a) make `dump-manifests` emit the manifests claw-code itself ships with (Rust-resolver-discovered skills/agents/tools), independent of any upstream TS source — that matches the `--help` description; (b) if upstream-comparison is genuinely needed for parity work, move it to a separate command like `parity dump-upstream-manifests` and remove the upstream dependency from `dump-manifests`; (c) standardize on one error `kind` for the manifest-missing failure mode (`missing_manifests` is more descriptive than `unknown`); (d) `claw export <PATH>` must validate the path positional arg before the session-discovery check, so users see `kind:"invalid_output_path"` (or similar) when the path is malformed instead of always seeing `kind:"no_managed_sessions"`. **Why this matters:** `dump-manifests` is the inventory surface a downstream automation lane would call to learn what claw can do in the current workspace. If it's broken without upstream TS source, downstream lanes can't introspect — they have to fall back to `agents list`/`skills list`/`mcp list` separately and re-aggregate. Cross-references #422 (kind:unknown for unknown_subcommand), #423 (kind:unknown for missing_argument), #428 (kind:unknown for invalid_permission_mode) — `kind:"unknown"` keeps appearing as the catch-all for surfaces that should have typed kinds.

Reproduction (no creds, isolated `CLAW_CONFIG_HOME`): `claw skills uninstall nonexistent-skill-xyz --output-format json` returns `{"error":"missing Anthropic credentials; export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY...","kind":"missing_credentials"}`. Uninstalling a skill is a pure local filesystem operation: read the skills directory, find the named skill, remove its files. There is no semantic reason to require API credentials. Same class of bug as #357 (`session list` requires creds), #369 (`session help/fork` require creds), and #427 (`resume <bogus-id>` requires creds). **Three sibling findings in same probe:** (a) `claw skills install <bogus-name>` returns `{"error":"No such file or directory (os error 2)","kind":"unknown"}` — leaks raw OS error string with no hint about expected install source format (path vs name vs URL?), and the catch-all `kind:"unknown"` again instead of typed `kind:"skill_install_source_not_found"`. (b) `claw skills install` (no args) returns `action:"help"` with `unexpected:"install"` — but `install` IS a documented subcommand. The handler treats it as "unknown action" instead of "missing required argument". Should emit `kind:"missing_argument"` with `argument:"install_source"`. (c) `claw agents create my-agent` returns `action:"help"` with `unexpected:"create my-agent"` — there is no agent-creation surface at all. Users must hand-craft `.claw/agents/<name>.md` files with no scaffolding command, while `claw init` only creates the top-level `.claw/` skeleton. **Required fix shape:** (a) `skills uninstall <name>` must be local-first: enumerate the local skills dir, return `kind:"skill_not_found"` (with `skills_dir:` and `available_names:[]` fields) for missing, or remove the files and return `kind:"skills"` with `action:"uninstall", removed:<name>` for present skills; (b) `skills install <source>` must distinguish source forms (`path:`, `name:`, `url:`) and emit `kind:"invalid_install_source"` with the parsed-and-failed reason; (c) `skills install` (no args) emits `kind:"missing_argument"` with `argument:"install_source"`; (d) add `claw agents create <name>` (or `claw init agent <name>`) that scaffolds `.claw/agents/<name>.md` with a stub frontmatter; or document explicitly that agents are user-authored only. **Why this matters:** lifecycle commands (`uninstall`, `install`, `create`) are the primary surface for managing claw's extension surface area. If `uninstall` requires API creds, an offline user who fat-fingered an install can't undo it. If `install` returns a raw OS error, automation can't programmatically recover. If `agents create` doesn't exist, agent authoring is undocumented file-touching only.

The `status` subcommand was consumed as the `--allowedTools` value because the flag parser doesn't distinguish missing-value from end-of-flag-args. The error reveals **the supported tool list mixes naming conventions inconsistently within a single error message**: snake_case (`bash`, `read_file`, `write_file`, `edit_file`, `glob_search`, `grep_search`), PascalCase (`WebFetch`, `WebSearch`, `TodoWrite`, `Skill`, `Agent`, `Sleep`, `Config`, `PowerShell`, `AskUserQuestion`, `TaskCreate`, `WorkerCreate`, `TeamCreate`, `CronCreate`), UPPERCASE (`REPL`, `LSP`, `MCP`), and CamelCase compounds (`McpAuth`, `RemoteTrigger`). **Hidden alias mapping**: `claw --allowedTools Read,Write,Edit status --output-format json` is accepted and returns `allowed_tools.entries:["edit_file","read_file","write_file"]` — proving the validator has an undocumented CamelCase→snake_case alias map (`Read`→`read_file`, `Write`→`write_file`, `Edit`→`edit_file`) that is not surfaced in the error message. Users who copy-paste tool names from Claude Code documentation work, users who copy from the validator error don't. **Sibling missing-value bug:** `claw --allowedTools status` with `status` as a positional subcommand is interpreted as `--allowedTools=status`, swallowing the subcommand. The flag parser must require a value for `--allowedTools` and emit `kind:"missing_argument"` when followed by a recognized subcommand or `--`-prefixed flag instead of silently treating the next arg as a tool name. **Sibling typed-kind bug:** both errors use `kind:"unknown"` instead of typed `kind:"invalid_tool_name"` / `kind:"missing_argument"` — the catch-all keeps appearing (#422/#423/#424/#428/#430/#431/#432). **Required fix shape:** (a) standardize the canonical tool-name registry on one casing convention (snake_case is most CLI-ergonomic) and update both the registry and all CamelCase aliases; (b) document and expose the alias map (`tool_aliases:{Read:"read_file",...}`) in `claw doctor`/`status` and in the validator error; (c) flag parser must require a value for `--allowedTools` and refuse to consume a recognized subcommand or `-`/`--`-prefixed token as the value, emit `kind:"missing_argument"` with `argument:"--allowedTools"`; (d) emit `kind:"invalid_tool_name"` with `tool_name:` and `available:[]` fields instead of `kind:"unknown"`; (e) regression test that `claw --allowedTools <subcommand>` rejects with `missing_argument`, and that the canonical name list in errors uses the same casing as the alias map. **Why this matters:** `--allowedTools` is the primary surface for restricting claw's tool surface area (security-relevant). Inconsistent naming between the validator error and the alias map means users following the error message guidance pick names that work in some places and fail in others.

No warning, no `format_overridden:true` field, no stderr message. Scripts that compose flag arrays from multiple sources (`flags=("${BASE_FLAGS[@]}" --output-format json)` while `BASE_FLAGS` already contains `--output-format text`) silently get the wrong format. **Three sibling findings in same probe:** (a) **case-sensitivity drift**: `claw --output-format JSON status` returns `{"error":"unsupported value for --output-format: JSON (expected text or json)","kind":"unknown"}` — error message tells user to use lowercase `json` but doesn't accept the uppercase form that users often type from muscle memory. Most CLI flag-value validators (cargo, kubectl, gh) are case-insensitive for enum values or accept both forms with normalization. (b) **`kind:"unknown"` for invalid format value**: same catch-all bucket bug as #422/#423/#424/#428/#430/#431/#432 — should be `kind:"invalid_output_format"` with `value:` and `expected:["text","json"]` fields. (c) **no env-var default for output format**: `CLAW_OUTPUT_FORMAT=json claw status` silently ignored — no env override for the global default, forcing scripts to repeat `--output-format json` on every invocation. Other major CLIs honor `KUBECTL_OUTPUT=`, `AWS_DEFAULT_OUTPUT=`, `GH_NO_PROMPT=` etc. (d) **silently-ignored env vars `CLAW_LOG`/`RUST_LOG`**: no env-based log level control surfaced in `claw doctor` — debug logging requires undocumented `RUST_LOG=` (Rust convention) but `claw --help` doesn't mention either. **Required fix shape:** (a) repeated `--output-format` (or any flag that takes a value, not a count flag) emits a warning to stderr (`warning: --output-format specified multiple times; using last value 'text'`) and adds a `format_source:"flag", format_overridden:[]` field to the JSON envelope; (b) accept case-insensitive enum values for `--output-format` (`JSON`, `Json`, `json` all work), document the canonical lowercase form in `--help`; (c) emit `kind:"invalid_output_format"` (not `kind:"unknown"`) when value is invalid; (d) accept `CLAW_OUTPUT_FORMAT` env var as the default for `--output-format`, with flag-overrides-env precedence documented; (e) document `RUST_LOG` / `CLAW_LOG` in `--help` or doctor output as the log-level env vars; (f) regression test: repeated flag emits stderr warning + JSON metadata field; case-insensitive enum accepts all three casings; env-var default is honored when flag is absent. **Why this matters:** scripts that compose flag arrays from multiple sources (CI envs + per-invocation flags) silently get the wrong output format.

Reproduction: `claw -- "-prompt-with-dash" --output-format json` returns `{"error":"unknown option: --","hint":"Did you mean -V?\nRun \`claw --help\` for usage.","kind":"cli_parse"}`. The POSIX/GNU CLI convention — universally honored by cargo, git, npm, gh, kubectl, grep, ls, find, etc. — is that `--` terminates flag parsing and treats everything after it as positional arguments. claw rejects `--` itself as an unknown flag. **Sibling misleading-suggestion bug (recurring from #429):** the `cli_parse` hint suggests `Did you mean -V?` for `--`. `-V` is the version flag; `--` is the end-of-flags separator. They have no semantic relationship; the auto-complete is matching on prefix-character similarity only. **Sibling shorthand-prompt limitation:** `claw "-just a prompt" --output-format json` returns `{"error":"unknown option: -just a prompt","kind":"cli_parse"}` and `claw "--bogus-flag-like" --output-format json` returns the same. The shorthand non-interactive prompt mode (documented as `claw [--model MODEL] [--output-format text|json] TEXT`) cannot accept any TEXT that starts with `-` or `--`, even when the entire string is shell-quoted as a single token. Users must use the explicit `prompt` verb (`claw prompt "-prompt-with-dash"` works) to escape this, but the explicit verb is documented as alternative not required. **Required fix shape:** (a) accept POSIX `--` as the end-of-flags marker globally — every arg after `--` is positional; (b) shorthand prompt mode must distinguish "this looks like a flag" from "this is a quoted positional that happens to start with `-`" by looking at whether the token matches any registered flag name (`-h`, `-V`, `--help`, `--version`, etc.) — strings that don't match any flag should be treated as prompt text; (c) fix the "Did you mean" hint algorithm to filter by semantic category (don't suggest `-V` for `--`, suggest "use \`--\` to terminate flag parsing" if the user types just `--`); (d) regression test: `claw -- "-foo"` reaches the runtime with prompt=`-foo`; `claw "-not-a-flag"` is treated as shorthand prompt when no registered flag matches; canonical `--` is recognized. **Why this matters:** POSIX `--` is the universal mechanism for passing arbitrary text (filenames starting with `-`, prompts containing flag-like syntax, log lines, etc.) to a CLI. Failing on `--` makes claw fundamentally unergonomic in shell pipelines (`echo "-q for quiet" | xargs claw` fails). The shorthand-prompt limitation forces users to remember the `prompt` verb specifically when their prompt happens to start with `-`.

Reproduction (fresh empty dir, no `.claw/`, no sessions): `claw --resume latest` (text mode) prints `failed to restore session: no managed sessions found in .claw/sessions/0ead448127a2de44/` and exits **0**. Same invocation with `--output-format json` correctly exits **1** with `kind:"session_load_failed"`. Exit-code parity broken on the same input depending on format flag. **Sibling filesystem-side-effect bug:** after the failed `--resume latest` on a fresh empty workspace, the directory `.claw/sessions/0ead448127a2de44/` (the workspace-fingerprint partition) is created on disk despite the operation failing. The user did not opt into creating workspace metadata — they asked to resume an existing session, the resume failed, and now there's a partition directory hanging around. The fingerprint directory ought to be created lazily on first successful session save, not as a side effect of every resume attempt. **Three sibling findings in the same probe:** (a) **`claw --compact` alone (no other args) drops into the interactive REPL with the ANSI welcome banner** — `--compact` is documented as a modifier that strips tool call details in text mode for piping (`--compact ... useful for piping`), not as a verb that activates the REPL. Running `claw --compact` with no positional should be a no-op or an error explaining the flag needs a subcommand or prompt; entering the REPL is the wrong default. (b) **`claw --compact "hello"` (shorthand prompt) returns `{"error":"unknown subcommand: hello.","hint":"Did you mean help","kind":"unknown"}` — `--compact` disables shorthand prompt mode entirely**, treating the positional as a subcommand instead of as prompt text. Users must use the explicit `prompt` verb (`claw --compact prompt "hello"`) which contradicts the `claw [flags] TEXT` usage line in `--help`. (c) `kind:"unknown"` again for the unknown-subcommand error in --compact path — same catch-all bucket bug appearing for the 11th time across pinpoints. **Required fix shape:** (a) exit code 1 for all `failed_to_restore` / `session_load_failed` text-mode failures; text mode should print to stderr and exit non-zero, not print to stdout and exit 0; (b) defer `.claw/sessions/<fingerprint>/` creation to first successful save; failed `--resume` must not leave filesystem droppings; (c) `claw --compact` alone (no positional, no subcommand, stdin is TTY) should emit `kind:"missing_argument"` with `argument:"prompt or subcommand"` rather than activating the REPL; (d) `--compact` must be transparent to shorthand prompt mode parsing — `claw --compact "hello"` is equivalent to `claw --compact prompt "hello"`, both should reach the prompt path; (e) emit typed `kind:"unknown_subcommand"` not `kind:"unknown"` for fallthrough cases. **Why this matters:** scripts that gate on `$?` after `claw --resume latest` see success on text mode and failure on JSON mode — the same operation, two outcomes. The filesystem side effect pollutes a user's worktree with workspace partitions they didn't ask for, and CI pipelines that snapshot `.claw/` size silently grow on every failed `--resume`.

Reproduction: `mkdir /tmp/probe && cd /tmp/probe && claw init --output-format json` returns `artifacts:[{name:".claw/",status:"created"},{name:".claw.json",status:"created"},...]`. Inspecting the created `.claw.json`: `{"permissions":{"defaultMode":"dontAsk"}}`. This is the polar opposite of safe-by-default: every user who follows the documented onboarding flow (`claw init` after `curl install.sh`) ships their workspace with permission prompts disabled. Compounds with **#428** (default runtime permission_mode is `danger-full-access`) — between the runtime default and the init template, a fresh claw setup has zero user-facing safety friction. **Sibling: `.claw/` artifact is an empty directory.** After `claw init`, `find .claw -type f` returns nothing. No `settings.json`, no template, no scaffolding — just `mkdir .claw`. The `--help` description implies init produces a usable workspace, but `.claw/settings.json` (the project-scope counterpart of `~/.claw/settings.json`) is never templated. **Sibling: `.claw/` skip-on-exists drops the entire artifact.** If `.claw/` already exists (e.g., from a partial setup, a `--resume` failure side effect per #435, or manual creation), `claw init` returns `.claw/: skipped` and does not materialize any expected sub-content. The other artifacts (`.claw.json`, `.gitignore`, `CLAUDE.md`) are still created, but a future `claw skills install` or `claw plugins enable` may expect `.claw/` to contain template files that are now missing. **Required fix shape:** (a) the shipped `.claw.json` template must default to `permissions.defaultMode:"acceptEdits"` or `"plan"` (safe-by-default modes per #428 spec) — `"dontAsk"` requires explicit opt-in; (b) `claw init` must materialize `.claw/settings.json` with documented schema defaults inside `.claw/` so the directory is useful on its own; (c) when `.claw/` already exists, `init` must report `partial` status (not `skipped`) and still try to create missing sub-files like `.claw/settings.json` without overwriting existing files; (d) emit per-sub-file artifact entries for `.claw/settings.json` and `.claw/sessions/` (skipped status if absent, deferred-to-first-save acceptable) so automation knows what's present; (e) regression test: `claw init` produces a `.claw.json` whose `permissions.defaultMode` is NOT `dontAsk`; `.claw/` contains at least one templated file. **Why this matters:** init is the primary onboarding surface.

Reproduction: `claw version --output-format json` returns `{"build_date":"2026-05-11","executable_path":"/tmp/claw-dog-0530/rust/target/release/claw","git_sha":"b98b9a7","kind":"version","message":"Claw Code\n  Version 0.1.0\n  Git SHA b98b9a7\n  Target aarch64-apple-darwin\n  Build date 2026-05-11","target":"aarch64-apple-darwin","version":"0.1.0"}`. Critical provenance fields missing: (a) **`is_dirty`** — was the working tree clean at build time? Automation that pins on build provenance cannot tell if the binary was built from a clean commit or includes uncommitted changes; (b) **`branch`** — was this built from `main`, `dev/rust`, a release tag, or a feature branch? The `git_sha` alone doesn't reveal the integration point; (c) **`commit_date` / `commit_timestamp`** — only `build_date` (when the binary was compiled) is exposed; the commit itself might be days/weeks older if the build happened later. Reproducibility audits need both; (d) **`rustc_version`** — what Rust compiler version produced this binary? Critical for security advisories (e.g., known regressions in specific rustc versions); (e) **`git_sha` truncated to 7 chars** ("b98b9a7" instead of full "b98b9a71..."): 7-char shas have known collision rates in large repos and prevent unambiguous git rev-parse round-trip. **Sibling: `executable_path` leaks build-host path.** The `executable_path` field returns `/tmp/claw-dog-0530/rust/target/release/claw` — the directory where the binary was compiled, embedded into the binary metadata. For a binary copied/installed/symlinked to a different location, this field still reports the build path, not the actual invocation path. Either the field should reflect the runtime path via `std::env::current_exe()` at runtime (not compile-time), or it should be dropped to avoid leaking compile-host filesystem layout. **Sibling: prose `message` field duplicates structured data.** The `message` field still contains the entire text-mode prose version block (`"Claw Code\n  Version 0.1.0\n  Git SHA b98b9a7\n..."`) — every field present as structured JSON (`version`, `git_sha`, `target`, `build_date`) is also embedded in the prose. Same issue as #391 (`version json includes prose message field`) which was closed as "fixed" — the prose remains. **Required fix shape:** (a) add `is_dirty:bool`, `branch:string|null`, `commit_date:string` (ISO-8601), `commit_timestamp:int` (Unix epoch), `rustc_version:string` to the JSON envelope; (b) preserve full 40-char `git_sha` and add `git_sha_short:string` as a derived field if 7-char form is needed for UX; (c) `executable_path` should be `std::env::current_exe()` at runtime, not the compile-time path; (d) drop the prose `message` field from JSON or rename it `human_readable:string` and make it explicitly secondary to the structured fields; (e) re-verify #391 closure — the prose `message` is still present, the fix didn't fully land. **Why this matters:** version surface is the canonical provenance probe for security audits, build reproducibility, and bug-report metadata. Missing `is_dirty` means automated triage cannot distinguish "issue against a clean main commit" from "issue against a developer's uncommitted hack". Truncated `git_sha` blocks unambiguous git lookup. Leaked `executable_path` exposes build-host layout.

Reproduction (fresh empty dir, isolated `CLAW_CONFIG_HOME`): create three files in cwd — `CLAUDE.md` (marker `MARKER-FROM-CLAUDE-MD`), `AGENTS.md` (marker `MARKER-FROM-AGENTS-MD`), `CLAW.md` (marker `MARKER-FROM-CLAW-MD`). Run `claw status --output-format json` → `workspace.memory_file_count: 1`. Run `claw system-prompt --output-format json` and search the `message` field for each marker: only `MARKER-FROM-CLAUDE-MD` is found; `MARKER-FROM-AGENTS-MD` and `MARKER-FROM-CLAW-MD` are absent. `claw-code` exclusively recognizes the Claude-branded filename inherited from upstream Claude Code; the project's own `CLAW.md` brand name and the cross-tool industry convention `AGENTS.md` are both silently dropped. **Three sibling implications:** (a) **brand-consistency gap**: a project rebranded from Claude Code to Claw Code that introduces `CLAUDE.md` as its only memory file is internally inconsistent. Users naturally expect `claw <subcommand>` to read `CLAW.md`. (b) **industry-convention gap**: `AGENTS.md` is the convergent convention for OpenCode (oh-my-opencode/sisyphus), OpenAI Codex CLI, Aider, Cursor, Continue.dev, and most ACP harnesses. Users with mixed-tool workflows maintain a shared `AGENTS.md` and expect every AI coding tool to honor it. (c) **silent failure mode**: there is no warning when `AGENTS.md` or `CLAW.md` exist but are not loaded. Users who copy-paste `AGENTS.md` from another tool's docs see `memory_file_count` stay at 0 or 1 and have to guess why their instructions aren't applied. **Required fix shape:** (a) discover and load **`CLAUDE.md`, `CLAW.md`, `AGENTS.md`** in that priority order (existing config-precedence pattern); (b) all three contribute to `memory_file_count` with `memory_files:[{path, source:"claude_md"|"claw_md"|"agents_md", chars}]` array exposed in `status --output-format json`; (c) when multiple files exist, merge or document the precedence: project-specific `CLAUDE.md`/`CLAW.md` overrides industry-shared `AGENTS.md`; (d) `claw doctor --output-format json` adds a `memory` check that warns when `AGENTS.md` exists but is not the loaded variant (alerting users that they may be relying on the wrong file); (e) regression test: workspace with all three files results in `memory_file_count >= 1` and the system prompt contains markers from at least the highest-precedence file. **Why this matters:** `AGENTS.md` is the lingua-franca instruction file for cross-tool AI coding workflows. A team using OpenCode for one project and Claw Code for another keeps their conventions in a shared `AGENTS.md`. Forcing them to also maintain a `CLAUDE.md` for claw-code (with identical content) is friction that breaks the value proposition of a fork.

Reproduction: create three nested `CLAUDE.md` files with unique markers — `/tmp/claw-nested-probe/CLAUDE.md` (`PARENT_CLAUDE`), `subproj/CLAUDE.md` (`CHILD_CLAUDE`), `subproj/deep/CLAUDE.md` (`DEEP_CLAUDE`). Run `claw system-prompt --output-format json` from `subproj/deep/nest/` (note: `nest` has no `CLAUDE.md`). The `message` field contains **all three markers** (PARENT + CHILD + DEEP) and `status --output-format json` reports `memory_file_count: 3`. Boundary tests: (a) `$HOME/CLAUDE.md` is NOT picked up from `/tmp/no-claude-dir` (discovery stops at `$HOME` boundary, good); (b) From `/tmp/deep` (no nested CLAUDE.md), `/tmp/CLAUDE.md` IS picked up (count: 1); (c) git-root is NOT a discovery boundary — running from a git subdir still walks above the git root. **Ambient-context-bleed footgun:** any stale `/tmp/CLAUDE.md` (or `/home/<user>/projects/CLAUDE.md`, or any ancestor-path CLAUDE.md left over from a previous experiment, copy-paste, or AI-generated example) silently bleeds into every workspace nested below it. The user has no signal in `status --output-format json` indicating which ancestor file is contributing — only the aggregate `memory_file_count`. **Three required fixes:** (a) **expose discovery list**: `status --output-format json` and `system-prompt --output-format json` must include `memory_files:[{path, source:"workspace"|"ancestor"|"parent_dir"|"home", chars, contributes:bool}]` so users can see what's leaking in; (b) **add `--no-parent-memory` flag** to limit discovery to cwd only (no ancestor walk), or add a boundary marker (`.claude-no-walk`, `.claw-root`, or honor `.git` as the boundary by default — most users expect repo-root scope); (c) **`doctor` warns** when ancestor `CLAUDE.md` files are loaded from outside the current git repo (suggests they may be unintentional). **Sibling discovery scope question:** discovery walks up to `$HOME` — but for a user with a project at `/Users/foo/work/proj`, that's `/Users/foo/work/CLAUDE.md` + `/Users/foo/CLAUDE.md` (if it exists) both load. The home boundary is exclusive, but the entire `/Users/foo` tree under home is in scope. **Why this matters:** test workspaces, scratch dirs, AI-generated example projects, and shared `/tmp` workdirs are full of stale `CLAUDE.md` files. The current discovery rule means every claw invocation can silently inherit context from arbitrary ancestor paths.

Reproduction: write `.claw.json` containing six `mcpServers` entries — one valid (`valid-server: {command:"/bin/echo", args:["hello"]}`) and five with progressive defects (missing-command, empty-command, null-command, wrong-type-command, extra-unknown-field). Run `claw mcp list --output-format json` → `{"action":"list","config_load_error":"/private/tmp/claw-mcp-probe/.claw.json: mcpServers.missing-command-server: missing string field command","configured_servers":0,"kind":"mcp","servers":[],"status":"degraded"}`. The error mentions only `missing-command-server` (the first invalid entry in JSON-object iteration order); the other four invalid entries are never surfaced. The valid `valid-server` entry is silently dropped because the parser bails on the first error. `status --output-format json` correctly propagates the same `config_load_error` and sets `status:"degraded"`, but no field tells automation which servers are valid vs broken — `servers:[]` is the only signal. **Three problems compounded:** (a) **all-or-nothing loading**: ROADMAP product principle #5 says "partial success is first-class," but mcp config loading is binary. One bad server kills the entire MCP plane; (b) **first-error-only reporting**: a `.claw.json` with five invalid entries surfaces only one error message — the user fixes that one and runs again, gets the next error, and so on. Five iterations needed to discover all errors; (c) **no per-server status**: even with the partial-success fix, the JSON envelope needs `servers:[{name, valid:bool, error?, command?, args?}]` so automation can see which entries are usable. **Required fix shape:** (a) the MCP config parser must collect ALL invalid entries into an `invalid_servers:[{name, error_field, reason}]` array and load all valid ones into `servers:[]`; do not abort on first error; (b) `configured_servers` reflects the count of *valid* loaded servers (not zero) when there are valid entries alongside invalid ones; (c) expose `total_configured:int` (count of entries in source `.claw.json`) AND `valid_count:int` (loaded), AND `invalid_count:int` (rejected) — three distinct counts; (d) `doctor --output-format json` adds an `mcp_validation` check that lists each invalid entry with its error message; (e) regression test: `.claw.json` with one valid + one invalid entry results in `configured_servers: 1, invalid_servers: [{name:"...", reason:"..."}]`. **Why this matters:** users iterate on MCP server lists during onboarding — one typo kills the entire plane, including servers they got working previously. The first-error-only reporting forces N iterations through N invalid entries instead of a single fix-everything-at-once pass.

+441. **`hooks` config schema diverges from Claude Code documented format — claw-code expects `{"hooks":{"PreToolUse":["command-string"]}}` (array of command strings) while Claude Code documentation specifies `{"hooks":{"PreToolUse":[{"matcher":"Read","hooks":[{"type":"command","command":"..."}]}]}}` (structured matcher objects); users copy-pasting from Claude Code docs see `field "hooks.PreToolUse" must be an array of strings`** — dogfooded 2026-05-11 by Jobdori on `86ff83c2` in response to Clawhip pinpoint nudge at `1503350990680887418`. Reproduction: write `.claw.json` with the Claude-Code-documented hook format `{"hooks":{"PreToolUse":[{"matcher":"Read","hooks":[{"type":"command","command":"/bin/echo pretool"}]}]}}`. Run `claw status --output-format json` → `config_load_error: "/private/tmp/claw-hook-probe/.claw.json: field \"hooks.PreToolUse\" must be an array of strings, got an array (line 3)"`, `status: "degraded"`. The error wording ("must be an array of strings, got an array") is confusingly tautological — the user did provide an array; the parser objects that the array contains objects instead of strings. Replacing with the claw-code-actual format `{"hooks":{"PreToolUse":["/bin/echo pretool"]}}` succeeds: `config_load_error: null, status: "ok"`. The two formats are fundamentally incompatible: claw-code drops the `matcher` field (no tool-specific filtering at the config layer), drops the `type:"command"` discriminator (no future expansion to other hook types), and treats each entry as a bare command string instead of a structured hook spec. **Sibling: PR #3000 (justcode049) was attempting to tolerate object-style hook entries** — that PR's title `fix: tolerate object-style hook entries in config parser` confirms this is a known user complaint, but the PR is still conflicting and unmerged. **Three sibling findings in same probe:** (a) **unknown event names reject entire hooks config**: `.claw.json` with `hooks.InvalidEvent` (not a real event name like `PreToolUse`/`PostToolUse`/`Stop`/`Notification`) triggers `config_load_error: "unknown key \"hooks.InvalidEvent\""` and rejects ALL hooks in the same file, even valid ones — same "one bad apple kills all" pattern as #440 (MCP servers). (b) **`kind:"unknown"` for the validation error** — should be `kind:"invalid_hooks_config"` or `kind:"unknown_hook_event"` (catch-all cluster #422/#423/#424/#428/#430/#431/#432/#433/#435 — 13th occurrence). (c) **first-error-only halting**: a `.claw.json` with `hooks.Stop:"not-an-array"` (type mismatch) AND `hooks.InvalidEvent` (unknown name) AND `hooks.Notification:[{}]` (empty entry) surfaces only the FIRST error in iteration order — user must fix one at a time across 3 iterations. **Required fix shape:** (a) **adopt Claude Code's structured hook format as the canonical**: support `{matcher, hooks:[{type, command}]}` natively, with `matcher` for tool-filtering, `type` for hook-type discriminator (future-proof for `inline`/`webhook`/etc beyond just `command`); (b) **keep backward compat for bare command strings**: legacy `["command-string"]` arrays still load, but emit a deprecation warning suggesting migration to the structured form; (c) **partial-success loading**: invalid hook entries surface in `invalid_hooks:[{event, index, reason}]` while valid ones load — same fix as #440 for MCP; (d) **typed `kind:"invalid_hooks_config"` envelope** instead of `kind:"unknown"`; (e) **rebase and merge PR #3000** which addresses this directly; (f) regression test: Claude-Code-documented hook config loads without error on claw-code. **Why this matters:** users migrating from Claude Code to Claw Code hit this on their first `.claw.json` write. The error message ("array of strings, got an array") is unhelpful; the documentation doesn't surface the schema divergence; and Claude Code's structured format is strictly more expressive (matchers, types) than claw-code's bare-string format.

Source code confirms (`rust/crates/commands/src/lib.rs:3378`): `if entry.path().extension().is_none_or(|ext| ext != "toml") { continue; }` — only `.toml` extension is recognized, all others (including `.md`) skipped without warning. The help text `claw agents --help` documents the source paths but **omits the file-format requirement**. **Five sibling problems compounded:** (a) **schema divergence from Claude Code**: Claude Code's `agents` are documented as `.md` files with YAML frontmatter (matching the `CLAUDE.md`/`.claude/agents/` convention upstream). claw-code chose TOML for no documented reason. Users migrating from Claude Code or copy-pasting community agent definitions hit silent failure. (b) **silent file drop**: invalid agent files (wrong extension, broken frontmatter, missing required fields, file-name vs frontmatter-name mismatch) are all silently ignored with `count:0`. No `invalid_agents:[]` array, no warning, no `kind:"agent_load_failed"` envelope. Same all-or-nothing pattern as #440 (MCP servers) and #441 (hooks). (c) **no documentation of the schema**: `claw agents --help --output-format json` (per #427, this hits the auth gate; without auth it doesn't return the schema either). The required TOML fields (`name`, `description`, `model`, `model_reasoning_effort` per source code) aren't documented in any user-facing surface. (d) **missing `.claude/agents/` discovery**: many existing projects have `.claude/agents/` from Claude Code installs. claw-code only looks at `.claw/agents/` — users have to copy/move their existing agents. (e) **no agent-scaffolding command**: cross-reference #431 — there's no `claw agents create <name>` to generate a valid `.toml` skeleton; users must hand-craft. **Required fix shape:** (a) accept BOTH `.md` (with YAML frontmatter) AND `.toml` formats in `.claw/agents/`; prefer YAML frontmatter for Claude Code parity, keep TOML for back-compat; (b) include `.claude/agents/` in the discovery sources alongside `.claw/agents/` with documented precedence; (c) expose `invalid_agents:[{path, reason}]` array in `agents list --output-format json` so users can see what was skipped and why; (d) document the agent schema (required + optional fields) in `claw agents --help` and in USAGE.md; (e) add `claw agents create <name>` scaffolding command per #431; (f) regression test: `.claw/agents/foo.md` with YAML frontmatter loads correctly. **Why this matters:** agents are the primary extension surface for custom workflows.

The OS permission denial is the only thing preventing claw from creating `/.claw/sessions/<fingerprint>/` in the root filesystem. Compare with `cd /tmp && claw --resume latest --output-format json`: silently creates `/tmp/.claw/sessions/<fingerprint>/` partition (confirmed by `ls /tmp/.claw` showing a directory from a prior dogfood session at `13:31` — the May 11 11:00 pinpoint #435 dropping is still there 10+ hours later, despite documented cleanup).

Use --allow-broad-cwd to proceed anyway`) — but the guard does NOT fire on `--resume`, `--status`, or `claw status` invocations. Inconsistent safety surface: the dangerous path (LLM prompt with full tool access) has a guard, but session-management paths that create filesystem artifacts in broad locations have none. **Three sibling findings in same probe:** (a) **exit-code 0 on filesystem error** (`session_load_failed` envelope returns exit code 0): the read-only-filesystem error from `/.claw` creation path is an unrecoverable failure but the process exits 0 — same exit-parity bug as #422/#435; (b) **stale filesystem droppings**: `/tmp/.claw/` from a 13:31 dogfood session at HEAD `6c0c305a` is still present at 21:30 (10 hours later, 6+ HEADs later). The "deferred cleanup" or "lazy creation" fix prescribed in #435 hasn't landed; (c) **broad-cwd guard misfires on resume**: the existing guard from `run` path (visible in `claw --help` as "Use --allow-broad-cwd to proceed anyway") never fires on `--resume`. Either both paths should guard, or the guard should be promoted to a global pre-check. **Required fix shape:** (a) extend the broad-cwd guard to `--resume`, `claw status`, `claw doctor`, and every command that may create filesystem artifacts; `cd / && claw --resume latest` must fail fast with `kind:"broad_cwd_blocked"` before any filesystem operation; (b) `cd $HOME && claw` should warn that the workspace is your home directory and ask for `--allow-broad-cwd` (the LLM with full filesystem access in `$HOME` is the same blast radius as in `/`); (c) exit code 1 for `session_load_failed` regardless of underlying cause; (d) deliver #435's "defer fingerprint directory creation to first successful save" fix — failed `--resume` must not leave filesystem droppings; (e) cleanup `/tmp/.claw/` style scratch-dir artifacts via a `claw doctor --cleanup` or similar opt-in mechanism; (f) regression test: failed `--resume` does not create any directories under cwd. **Why this matters:** users running claw as part of CI/cron from system directories silently accumulate `.claw/sessions/<fingerprint>/` artifacts in /tmp, /var, /opt, $HOME, etc. Running as root from / would (with a writable root) silently pollute the root filesystem. The broad-cwd guard exists but only covers one entry point. Cross-references #427 (broad-cwd guard fires on resume too — actually it doesn't, that note in #427 was inaccurate), #428 (default permission_mode danger-full-access — compounds with this: full access + no broad-cwd guard = serious blast radius), #435 (filesystem side effects on failed resume), #422 (exit-code parity).

+445. **Skill name-vs-directory mismatch is silently accepted — `.claw/skills/wrong-name/SKILL.md` with frontmatter `name: actually-different-name` loads as "actually-different-name" without any warning; users who reference the skill by directory name (`claw skills run wrong-name`) get `skill_not_found` while `skills list` shows it under the frontmatter name; sibling: loose `.md` files at the skills-dir root and subdirs without `SKILL.md` are silently dropped** — dogfooded 2026-05-11 by Jobdori on `9e1eafd0` in response to Clawhip pinpoint nudge at `1503381189539528897`. Reproduction: create `.claw/skills/wrong-name/SKILL.md` with frontmatter `---\nname: actually-different-name\ndescription: Skill where dir name and frontmatter name disagree\n---`. Run `claw skills list --output-format json` → the skill is listed with `name: "actually-different-name"` (the frontmatter value), no warning about the dir-vs-name mismatch. Users who type `claw skills run wrong-name` (the dirname they know from `ls`) get a `skill_not_found` error; `claw skills run actually-different-name` works. The two names are decoupled with no surfaced relationship. **Three sibling silent-drop bugs in same probe:** (a) **subdir without SKILL.md silently skipped**: `.claw/skills/no-skill-md/` containing only `README.md` (no `SKILL.md`) is silently skipped from `skills list`. No `invalid_skills:[{path, reason:"missing_SKILL.md"}]` array, no warning, just absent from output. (b) **Loose `.md` at skills dir root silently dropped**: `.claw/skills/loose-skill.md` (not inside a per-skill subdirectory) is silently ignored. Discovery only walks `.claw/skills/*/SKILL.md` — no support for flat `.claw/skills/<name>.md`. (c) **Workspace + user skills merged without per-source filter**: `skills list` returns 74 entries including all `~/.claw/skills/*` user-home skills alongside the project skills. There's no `--scope workspace` flag to limit output to just project-local skills; automation has to filter by `source.id == "project_claw"` post-hoc. **Required fix shape:** (a) when SKILL.md frontmatter `name` differs from the parent directory name, emit a `skills_metadata_drift:[{dir_name, frontmatter_name, path}]` array OR enforce `name = dir_name` as a hard rule; if neither, at minimum a stderr warning on each invocation; (b) skill subdirectories without `SKILL.md` should surface as `invalid_skills:[{path, reason}]` in `skills list --output-format json` (same pattern as #440 MCP servers, #441 hooks, #442 agents); (c) support loose `.md` files at skills-dir root OR document explicitly that only subdirectories with `SKILL.md` are discovered; (d) add `--scope workspace|user|all` flag to `skills list` for filtering; (e) regression test: dir/frontmatter mismatch triggers a deterministic warning or error; subdirs without SKILL.md show in invalid array. **Why this matters:** skill discovery is a security-relevant surface — a user's `claw skills run X` could end up running a different skill than they thought if dir-name and frontmatter-name diverge. The silent drops mean users can't tell why their skill files aren't recognized, leading to "I copied the example and it doesn't work" forum questions.

+446. **Config is loaded 2-3 times per command invocation; each load re-emits identical deprecation warnings without deduplication — `status` triggers 3× `enabledPlugins` warning, `doctor`/`mcp` trigger 2× each, only `version` (config-free) emits 0** — dogfooded 2026-05-11 by Jobdori on `5a4cc506` in response to Clawhip pinpoint nudge at `1503388740595224717`. Reproduction: with a `~/.claw/settings.json` containing the deprecated `enabledPlugins` key, run each command from a fresh empty cwd and count `warning: ... is deprecated` lines on stderr — `claw status 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep -c deprecated` returns **3**, `claw doctor` returns **2**, `claw mcp` returns **2**, `claw version` returns **0**. Each duplicate is byte-identical (same file path, same line number, same field name). The pattern proves the config-load pipeline is invoked 2-3 times within a single command process; warnings are emitted at each load without checking a `warned_files: HashSet<PathBuf>` deduplication set. **Three sibling implications:** (a) **load-count varies by command** — status:3, doctor:2, mcp:2, version:0 — suggesting each command implements its own config-load call rather than going through a shared cached loader; (b) **noise pollution**: users running `claw status` once see the same 64-character warning 3 times in their terminal scrollback, making real warnings (other config errors, real deprecations) lost in the duplicate noise; (c) **performance signal**: 3× config load means 3× JSON parsing of `~/.claw/settings.json`, `~/.claw.json`, `$CLAW_CONFIG_HOME/settings.json`, and the project-local `.claw.json` / `.claw/settings.json` / `.claw/settings.local.json`. For a workspace with 5 config files, that's 15 redundant disk reads per status invocation. Earlier roadmap entries observed 3× (#424) and 4× (#425) warning counts at different HEADs; the count keeps fluctuating, suggesting the underlying issue is config-load fan-out that nobody has refactored. **Required fix shape:** (a) introduce a `ConfigLoader` cache scoped to the command-process lifetime: first load reads files and emits warnings; subsequent calls hit the cache and emit zero warnings; (b) move config validation/warnings to a single canonical entry point (`ConfigLoader::load_with_diagnostics()` returns `(RuntimeConfig, Vec<Warning>)` exactly once); (c) every command that needs config goes through the cached loader instead of re-reading from disk; (d) `doctor --output-format json` exposes `config_load_count:int` field so we can regression-test that loads are deduplicated; (e) regression test: any single command invocation emits each deprecation warning at most once. **Why this matters:** repeated identical warnings train users to ignore stderr noise. Real warnings (a new deprecation, a config error from a different file, an MCP server failure) get drowned out by 3-4 copies of the same notice. The 15-disk-read worst case is wasted I/O that adds startup latency. The fact that count fluctuates between HEADs (3 at `6c0c305a`, 4 at `d7dbe951`, back to 3 at `5a4cc506`) suggests dev velocity is moving config loads around without an architectural fix. Cross-references #424 (deprecation warning 3×), #425 (deprecation warning 4×), #421 (cwd canonicalization — possibly tied to per-load symlink resolution), #428 (default permission_mode loaded from same config files).

+447. **All JSON error envelopes go to STDERR not STDOUT; stdout is empty (0 bytes) on every `--output-format json` failure — breaks the standard automation pattern `output=$(claw cmd --output-format json)` which captures nothing on error and forces ugly `2>&1` redirects to even see the JSON** — dogfooded 2026-05-11 by Jobdori on `5ab969e7` in response to Clawhip pinpoint nudge at `1503396289071808523`. Reproduction (stderr-vs-stdout discipline audit): `claw --no-such-flag --output-format json >stdout.txt 2>stderr.txt` → stdout = **0 bytes**, stderr = 115 bytes containing `{"error":"unknown option: --no-such-flag","hint":"Run \`claw --help\` for usage.","kind":"cli_parse","type":"error"}`. Same pattern across four error envelopes probed: (a) `cli_parse` → stdout 0 / stderr 115; (b) `missing_credentials` → stdout 0 / stderr 853 (includes deprecation warnings ahead of envelope); (c) `session_load_failed` → stdout 0 / stderr 322; (d) `invalid_model_syntax` → stdout 0 / stderr 199. Success paths route correctly: `claw status --output-format json` → stdout 1496 / stderr 0. **The asymmetry is wrong on two axes:** (a) **JSON-format outputs should always go to stdout regardless of success/failure**: every major CLI in this class (kubectl, gh, aws, jq, terraform `-json`, `npm --json`) emits JSON on stdout for both ok and error paths; consumers parse `stdout | jq .kind` and switch on the kind to detect errors. claw's split forces consumers to capture both streams or use `2>&1` which then includes deprecation prose alongside the JSON envelope and breaks parsing. (b) **Deprecation/info warnings leak into the JSON error envelope on stderr**: when stderr is the only path to get the JSON, the deprecation warning prefix (`warning: ... enabledPlugins ... is deprecated`) precedes the JSON, making `tail -1 stderr.txt | jq .` fragile. **Three sibling problems:** (i) **breaks the canonical Bash idiom** `if ! output=$(cmd --output-format json); then echo "$output" | jq .error; fi` — `$output` is empty on error so the `jq` call sees nothing. (ii) **forces N-line stderr parsing**: to get the JSON envelope from stderr, automation must read until EOF, then skip leading `warning:` lines, then parse only the last `{...}` JSON. This is a brittle heuristic that breaks if more warnings are added. (iii) **inconsistent with text mode**: text-mode error output ALSO goes to stderr (e.g., `claw --no-such-flag` → stderr `[error-kind: cli_parse]\nerror: ...`) — that's correct for text mode (stderr is the diagnostic channel). The bug is JSON mode inheriting the same routing. **Required fix shape:** (a) JSON error envelopes go to STDOUT when `--output-format json` is active; (b) keep text-mode error output on stderr (no change for text path); (c) deprecation/info warnings should ALSO go to stderr in JSON mode (they're diagnostic prose, not part of the JSON contract) — separate channels: JSON envelope on stdout, prose warnings on stderr; (d) add `--quiet` / `--no-warn` flag to fully suppress stderr warnings for clean automation; (e) regression test: every `--output-format json` failure path emits the JSON envelope on stdout, exit non-zero, no JSON ever on stderr. **Why this matters:** the entire point of `--output-format json` is enabling automation. Splitting JSON success vs error across stdout vs stderr defeats the purpose — automation must capture both, dedupe sources, and parse mixed streams. Cross-references #422 (exit-code parity across error envelopes), #424 (deprecation warnings noise), #428 (envelope vs prose tension), #446 (multi-load deprecation duplication).

+448. **`sandbox --output-format json` has contradictory state flags — `enabled:true, supported:false, active:false, filesystem_active:true, allowed_mounts:[]`: claim that sandbox is "enabled" while OS doesn't support namespace isolation and `allowed_mounts:[]` is empty contradicts `filesystem_active:true filesystem_mode:"workspace-only"`** — dogfooded 2026-05-11 by Jobdori on `7244a82b` in response to Clawhip pinpoint nudge at `1503403842920779917` (using fresh-current-main runner at `/tmp/claw-dog-1430` per gajae's 14:00 protocol switch). Reproduction: `claw sandbox --output-format json` on macOS (where `unshare` is unavailable) returns `{"active":false,"active_namespace":false,"active_network":false,"allowed_mounts":[],"enabled":true,"fallback_reason":"namespace isolation unavailable (requires Linux with \`unshare\`)","filesystem_active":true,"filesystem_mode":"workspace-only","in_container":false,"kind":"sandbox","markers":[],"requested_namespace":true,"requested_network":false,"supported":false}`. **Three contradictions in the same envelope:** (a) `enabled:true` AND `supported:false`: what does "enabled" mean if the OS doesn't support sandboxing? Read literally, sandbox is *enabled but unsupported* — semantic nonsense. The likely intent is "user requested sandbox in config" but the field name `enabled` says "is ON". A better name would be `requested:true` or `config_intent:true`, with `enabled` reserved for the actually-active state. (b) `filesystem_active:true, filesystem_mode:"workspace-only"` AND `allowed_mounts:[]`: if the filesystem fence is active in workspace-only mode, the workspace directory itself MUST be an allowed mount. An empty `allowed_mounts:[]` array combined with `filesystem_active:true` means either (i) the fence is being misreported (it's not really active), (ii) the workspace is implicit and `allowed_mounts` only lists *additional* mounts, or (iii) the fence has no allowed paths and nothing is readable — all three are inconsistent with the user-facing summary. (c) `active:false` AND `filesystem_active:true`: the top-level `active` field is a single boolean summary, but it disagrees with `filesystem_active:true` (one component is active). Either `active` is "all components active" (then it should be `false` when any component is off) or "any component active" (then it should be `true` when filesystem is). The current value is `false` despite filesystem being active. **Sibling: no `claw sandbox --help`**: `claw sandbox status` and `claw sandbox --help` go to LLM-prompt fallback or hang (gajae confirmed at 13:00 that `sandbox status` returns typed `cli_parse` but `sandbox --help` is bounded — schema is non-uniform across help paths). **Required fix shape:** (a) rename `enabled` to `requested` or `config_intent` to disambiguate from "currently active"; (b) make `allowed_mounts` explicitly include the workspace when filesystem_mode is "workspace-only" (`allowed_mounts:[{path:"<cwd>",writable:true,reason:"workspace_root"}]`); (c) document the `active` aggregate semantics: pick either "all" or "any" composition rule and document the choice; (d) add `active_components:["filesystem"]` array as a richer alternative to the single boolean — surfaces exactly which sandbox subsystems are live; (e) regression test: when `filesystem_mode == "workspace-only"`, `allowed_mounts` MUST contain the cwd and `active` must agree with the documented composition rule. **Why this matters:** sandbox is the trust surface — automation that checks `sandbox.active == true` before running a risky LLM prompt sees `false` (no namespace, no network) and assumes no isolation, but `filesystem_active:true` means there IS partial isolation. The mixed signal forces consumers to OR all `*_active` fields together. Cross-references #428 (default permission_mode=danger-full-access — paired with sandbox-not-active means zero isolation), #444 (no broad-cwd guard — sandbox is the only safety net and its status is unclear).

+# G002 alpha security map and verification plan
+
+Generated by `worker-4` for OMX team task 5 on 2026-05-14.
+
+## Scope and coordination
+
+- Active goal context: `G002-alpha-security` / Stream 6 day-one security and permissions gate.
+- Worker ownership: `worker-1` owns minimal implementation changes for workspace/path enforcement. `worker-4` owns this repository map, integration verification plan, changed-file/commit report, and exact verification evidence.
+- Boundary: this report does not mutate `.omx/ultragoal` and does not edit shared security/path tests.
+- Parallel probe status: three native subagents were spawned for repository map, test probe, and change-slice probe, but all failed before returning findings with `429 Too Many Requests`; local mapping below is based on direct repository inspection.
+
+## Current permission and path enforcement map
+
+### Runtime permission policy and enforcer
+
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/permissions.rs`
+  - Owns the `PermissionMode` ordering and `PermissionPolicy` authorization contract.
+  - Existing tests cover read-only denial, workspace-write escalation, prompt approvals/denials, danger-full-access allowance, override recording, and required-mode reporting.
+  - Integration risk: any new dynamic file/path rule must preserve the existing `PermissionPolicy::authorize` semantics so prompt/override audit events remain stable.
+
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/permission_enforcer.rs`
+  - `PermissionEnforcer::check`, `check_with_required_mode`, `check_file_write`, and `check_bash` convert policy outcomes into structured `EnforcementResult` payloads.
+  - `check_file_write` currently has the direct write gate for workspace-write mode.
+  - `is_within_workspace` is a string-prefix boundary check after simple relative-path joining; it does not canonicalize symlinks, `..`, Windows drive prefixes, or case variants.
+  - Existing tests cover read-only denial, workspace-write inside/outside paths, trailing slashes, root equality, bash read-only heuristics, prompt-mode denial payloads, and structured denied fields.
+
+### File tool path handling
+
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/file_ops.rs`
+  - `read_file`, `write_file`, and `edit_file` normalize paths before filesystem operations but do not themselves require a workspace root.
+  - `read_file_in_workspace`, `write_file_in_workspace`, and `edit_file_in_workspace` exist as boundary-enforced wrappers.
+  - `validate_workspace_boundary` canonicalizes through the caller-provided resolved path and checks `starts_with(workspace_root)`.
+  - `is_symlink_escape` detects direct symlink escapes by comparing canonical target to canonical workspace root.
+  - Search tools (`glob_search`, `grep_search`) derive walk roots and prune heavy directories, but they are separate from the write enforcement path.
+  - Existing tests cover oversized/binary reads, workspace-boundary read rejection, symlink escape detection, glob brace expansion, ignored directories, and grep/glob behavior.
+
+### Bash command validation
+
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/bash_validation.rs`
+  - `validate_command` runs mode validation, sed validation, destructive warning checks, then path validation.
+  - `validate_read_only` blocks write-like commands, state-modifying commands, write redirects, and mutating git subcommands in read-only mode.
+  - `validate_mode` warns when workspace-write commands appear to target hard-coded system paths.
+  - `validate_paths` warns for `../`, `~/`, and `$HOME` references; it is intentionally heuristic and does not resolve shell expansion or canonical targets.
+  - Existing tests cover read-only blockers, destructive warnings, sed in-place blocking, path traversal/home warnings, command classification, and full pipeline allow/block/warn outcomes.
+
+### Sandbox and diagnostics surfaces
+
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/sandbox.rs`
+  - Owns container/sandbox status detection and workspace-only sandbox command construction.
+  - Relevant for day-one security because sandbox status must not overstate filesystem isolation.
+
+- `rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/main.rs`
+  - Owns CLI permission-mode parsing, direct JSON/text diagnostic output, `/permissions`, `/status`, `/doctor`, and command dispatch paths.
+  - Existing CLI integration tests under `rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/tests/` cover permission prompt scenarios and output-format contracts.
+
+- `rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/tests/mock_parity_harness.rs`
+  - End-to-end harness includes `bash_permission_prompt_approved`, `bash_permission_prompt_denied`, read/write file allow/deny, and plugin workspace-write scenarios.
+
+## Existing G002-adjacent coverage
+
+- Unit-level permission coverage:
+  - `cargo test -p runtime permissions::tests`
+  - `cargo test -p runtime permission_enforcer::tests`
+  - `cargo test -p runtime bash_validation::tests`
+  - `cargo test -p runtime file_ops::tests`
+
+- CLI and integration coverage:
+  - `cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli --test mock_parity_harness`
+  - `cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli --test output_format_contract`
+  - `cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli --test cli_flags_and_config_defaults`
+
+- Board/report validation coverage:
+  - `python3 scripts/validate_cc2_board.py --board .omx/cc2/board.json`
+  - `python3 .omx/cc2/validate_issue_parity_intake.py .omx/cc2/issue-parity-intake.json`
+
+## Recommended safe work slices
+
+### Implementation lane (owned by worker-1 unless re-scoped)
+
+1. Replace string-prefix workspace boundary checks with canonical path comparison in the runtime enforcement path.
+   - Primary files: `rust/crates/runtime/src/permission_enforcer.rs`, possibly shared helper extraction from `rust/crates/runtime/src/file_ops.rs`.
+   - Regression cases: `../` traversal, symlink escape, root prefix collision (`/workspace` vs `/workspacex`), relative paths, trailing slash root equality.
+
+2. Ensure direct file tools call workspace-aware wrappers when active permission mode is `workspace-write`.
+   - Primary files: likely `rust/crates/runtime/src/mcp_tool_bridge.rs` and/or the runtime tool execution bridge that calls `file_ops`.
+   - Regression cases: direct read/write paths, missing parent creation, symlink parent escape, and error payload stability.
+
+3. Keep bash validation as a warning/classification layer unless a real shell-expansion resolver is introduced.
+   - Primary files: `rust/crates/runtime/src/bash_validation.rs`, `rust/crates/runtime/src/bash.rs`.
+   - Risk: heuristic parsing cannot faithfully resolve shell expansion, globs, aliases, or platform-specific path rules; avoid claiming hard enforcement unless execution sandbox or command resolver proves it.
+
+### Test lane (coordinate with worker-3/worker-1 before editing)
+
+1. Add unit regressions close to each enforcement function before changing behavior.
+   - `permission_enforcer.rs`: canonical path boundary and Windows-shaped path cases.
+   - `file_ops.rs`: write/edit workspace wrappers with symlink parent escapes and missing file parent canonicalization.
+   - `bash_validation.rs`: shell expansion/glob/path warnings remain warnings unless a resolver is introduced.
+
+2. Add at least one integration test proving the runtime bridge actually routes file tools through workspace enforcement, not only helper functions.
+   - Candidate: `rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/tests/mock_parity_harness.rs` for direct write denial and no file created outside workspace.
+
+3. Preserve existing prompt/event visibility tests.
+   - Candidate surfaces: permission prompt scenarios in `mock_parity_harness.rs`, status/doctor JSON in `output_format_contract.rs`.
+
+### Docs/reporting lane (owned by worker-4)
+
+1. Keep this file as the integration handoff artifact for G002 mapping and verification.
+2. Report changed files and commits relative to `origin/main` so the leader can integrate worker branches deterministically.
+3. Include exact command evidence in the task lifecycle result.
+

+# G003 boot/session/preflight verification map
+
+Generated by `worker-1` for OMX team task 2 on 2026-05-14.
+
+## Scope and coordination
+
+- Active goal context: `G003-boot-session` / Stream 1 reliable worker boot and session control.
+- Boundary: this artifact is an audit/integration map only. It does not mutate `.omx/ultragoal` and it does not change shared implementation or tests.
+- Current worker split from leader mailbox:
+  - `worker-1`: task 1 worker boot / prompt SLA plus this task 2 audit map.
+  - `worker-2`: default trusted roots / trust resolver.
+  - `worker-3`: startup-no-evidence classifier.
+  - `worker-4`: session control plus preflight/doctor JSON surfaces.
+- Native subagent probes were attempted for Task 2 (`test probe` and `debug/root-cause probe`) but both failed before returning findings with `429 Too Many Requests`; the map below is based on direct repository inspection.
+
+## Implementation surface map
+
+### Worker boot lifecycle and prompt SLA
+
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/worker_boot.rs`
+  - Core state types: `WorkerStatus`, `WorkerFailureKind`, `WorkerEventKind`, `WorkerEventPayload`, `StartupFailureClassification`, `StartupEvidenceBundle`, `WorkerTaskReceipt`, and `WorkerReadySnapshot`.
+  - Control plane: `WorkerRegistry::{create,get,observe,resolve_trust,send_prompt,await_ready,restart,terminate,observe_completion,observe_startup_timeout}`.
+  - Lifecycle states currently covered in code: `spawning`, `trust_required`, `tool_permission_required`, `ready_for_prompt`, `running`, `finished`, and `failed`.
+  - Prompt delivery semantics currently use `Running` events and fields `prompt_in_flight`, `last_prompt`, `expected_receipt`, `replay_prompt`, and `prompt_delivery_attempts`.
+  - Startup-no-evidence surface: `observe_startup_timeout` builds `StartupEvidenceBundle` and classifies trust, tool permission, prompt acceptance timeout, prompt misdelivery, transport death, worker crash, or unknown.
+  - File observability surface: `emit_state_file` writes `.claw/worker-state.json` with status, readiness, trust state, prompt-in-flight flag, last event, and update age.
+
+- `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs`
+  - Tool APIs expose the worker control plane through `WorkerCreate`, `WorkerGet`, `WorkerObserve`, `WorkerResolveTrust`, `WorkerAwaitReady`, `WorkerSendPrompt`, `WorkerRestart`, `WorkerTerminate`, and `WorkerObserveCompletion`.
+  - `WorkerCreate` merges `ConfigLoader::trusted_roots()` with per-call `trusted_roots` before calling `WorkerRegistry::create`.
+  - Tool-level tests exercise worker create/observe/send/restart/terminate/completion and state-file transitions.
+
+### Trust resolver and default trusted roots
+
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/trust_resolver.rs`
+  - `TrustConfig`, `TrustAllowlistEntry`, and `TrustResolver` model trust prompts, allowlist/denylist policy, auto-trust, manual approval, and emitted trust events.
+  - `path_matches_trusted_root` and internal `path_matches` canonicalize paths when possible.
+  - Hazard: prefix matching must avoid accidental sibling matches such as `/tmp/work` matching `/tmp/work-evil`; worker-2 owns any changes here.
+
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/config.rs`
+  - `trustedRoots` is parsed by `parse_optional_trusted_roots` and exposed through `RuntimeConfig::trusted_roots()` / feature config accessors.
+  - Current default is empty when unset; any project default roots work belongs to worker-2.
+
+### Session control
+
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/session_control.rs`
+  - `SessionStore` namespaces sessions by canonical workspace fingerprint.
+  - Key API: `from_cwd`, `from_data_dir`, `create_handle`, `resolve_reference`, `resolve_managed_path`, `list_sessions`, `latest_session`, `load_session`, and `fork_session`.
+  - Guardrail: `validate_loaded_session` rejects cross-workspace sessions and allows legacy sessions only when their path remains inside the current workspace.
+  - Worker-4 owns changes to this lane.
+
+### CLI doctor/status/preflight and bootstrap-adjacent surfaces
+
+- `rust/crates/commands/src/lib.rs`
+  - Slash command definitions include `/status`, `/sandbox`, and `/doctor`.
+  - JSON rendering for command surfaces exists through handler functions and tests in the same module.
+
+- `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs`
+  - Bash and PowerShell tool runners include `workspace_test_branch_preflight`, which returns structured output with `return_code_interpretation: preflight_blocked:branch_divergence` for broad workspace tests on stale branches.
+  - Tests around `bash_workspace_tests_are_blocked_when_branch_is_behind_main` and targeted-test skipping protect this preflight behavior.
+
+## Existing focused verification commands
+
+Run from `rust/` unless noted.
+
+- Worker boot runtime contract:
+  - `cargo test -p runtime worker_boot -- --nocapture`
+- Worker tool API contract:
+  - `cargo test -p tools worker_ -- --nocapture`
+- Session control contract:
+  - `cargo test -p runtime session_control -- --nocapture`
+- Trust resolver/config trusted roots:
+  - `cargo test -p runtime trust_resolver -- --nocapture`
+  - `cargo test -p runtime config::tests::parses_trusted_roots_from_settings config::tests::trusted_roots_default_is_empty_when_unset -- --nocapture`
+- Preflight/tool branch guardrails:
+  - `cargo test -p tools bash_workspace_tests_are_blocked_when_branch_is_behind_main bash_targeted_tests_skip_branch_preflight -- --nocapture`
+- Formatting/type/lint baseline:
+  - `../scripts/fmt.sh --check`
+  - `cargo check -p runtime -p tools -p commands`
+  - `cargo clippy -p runtime -p tools -p commands --all-targets --no-deps -- -D warnings`
+
+## Gaps and hazards for leader integration
+
+- Prompt SLA event naming is partially implicit: `send_prompt` emits `WorkerEventKind::Running`; it does not expose separate `prompt.sent`, `prompt.accepted`, `prompt.acceptance_delayed`, or `prompt.acceptance_timeout` event names. The current equivalent evidence is `prompt_in_flight`, `Running`, `observe_completion`, and startup-timeout classification.
+- `StartupFailureClassification::PromptAcceptanceTimeout` is covered in `worker_boot` tests; full terminal/transport integration should still be verified by the leader or worker-3 if a real pane watcher exists outside the in-memory registry.
+- Default trusted roots are parsed and merged into `WorkerCreate`, but unset config currently means no default roots. Worker-2 owns any change to default root selection.
+- Session control protects workspace fingerprints at load/fork time; worker-4 owns CLI/doctor/preflight JSON contract changes.
+- Full-workspace clippy currently has known unrelated runtime findings observed during task 1 verification; do not block this docs-only map on those unless leader re-scopes cleanup.
+
+## Recommended safe integration order
+
+1. Integrate worker boot / prompt SLA changes first and run `cargo test -p runtime worker_boot -- --nocapture` plus `cargo test -p tools worker_ -- --nocapture`.
+2. Integrate trust-root changes and rerun trust/config tests plus the worker create config merge test.
+3. Integrate startup-no-evidence classifier changes and rerun `cargo test -p runtime worker_boot -- --nocapture`.
+4. Integrate session control / preflight / doctor JSON changes and rerun session-control, commands JSON, and preflight tests.
+5. Run final formatting, targeted cargo check/clippy, then broader workspace tests with known full-workspace failures documented separately.

+# G004 event and report contract guidance
+
+Captured: 2026-05-14 during the Stream 2 `G004-events-reports` team run.
+
+Purpose: keep the user/developer-facing contract guidance for ROADMAP Phase 2 in one tracked source that points back to the code and roadmap anchors. This document is intentionally not the implementation map for task 5; it describes the interoperability contract consumers should rely on as the lane-event, report-schema, approval-token, and capability-negotiation lanes land.
+
+## Source-of-truth anchors
+
+| Contract family | Roadmap anchor | Current implementation / owner-facing anchor | Consumer guidance |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Canonical lane events | `ROADMAP.md` Phase 2 §4, §4.5, §4.6, §4.7 | `rust/crates/runtime/src/lane_events.rs` (`LaneEventName`, `LaneEventStatus`, `LaneEventMetadata`, terminal reconciliation helpers) | Consume `event`, `status`, `emittedAt`, and `metadata` fields as the canonical state stream; do not infer lane state from terminal text when a structured event is present. |
+| Report schema v1 and projections | `ROADMAP.md` §4.25-§4.34 | Stream 2 report-schema lane / fixtures as they land | Treat a report as a versioned canonical payload plus derived projections. A projection may omit or transform fields only with explicit provenance: compatibility downgrade, redaction policy, truncation, or source absence. |
+| Policy-blocked handoff and approval-token chain | `ROADMAP.md` §4.37-§4.39 | Stream 2 approval-token lane as it lands | Treat policy blocks and owner approvals as typed artifacts, not prose. Execute an exception only when the approval token matches actor, policy, action, repo/branch/commit scope, expiry, and one-time-use state. |
+| Capability negotiation | `ROADMAP.md` §4.25, §4.26, §4.32, §4.34 | Report-schema/projection fixtures and consumer conformance cases as they land | Consumers must advertise supported schema versions, optional field families, projection views, redaction semantics, and downgrade handling before relying on reduced payloads. |
+
+## Lane event contract
+
+The lane-event stream is the first machine-trustworthy surface for Stream 2. Consumers should expect these invariants when reading `LaneEvent` payloads:
+
+- `event` is a typed event name, currently including the core lane lifecycle (`lane.started`, `lane.ready`, `lane.blocked`, `lane.red`, `lane.green`, `lane.finished`, `lane.failed`), branch health (`branch.stale_against_main`, `branch.workspace_mismatch`), reconciliation (`lane.reconciled`, `lane.superseded`, `lane.closed`), and ship provenance (`ship.prepared`, `ship.commits_selected`, `ship.merged`, `ship.pushed_main`).
+- `status` is the normalized state for the event; consumers should prefer it over freeform `detail` text for automation.
+- `metadata.seq`, `metadata.timestamp_ms`, and terminal fingerprints are the ordering/deduplication hooks. Consumers should use terminal reconciliation output rather than double-reporting contradictory terminal bursts.
+- `metadata.provenance`, `metadata.environment_label`, `metadata.emitter_identity`, and `metadata.confidence_level` tell consumers whether an event is live lane truth, test traffic, healthcheck/replay output, or transport-layer evidence.
+- `metadata.session_identity` and `metadata.ownership` bind a lane event to the session, workspace, workflow scope, owner, and watcher action. A watcher should not act on events whose ownership says `observe` or `ignore`.
+
+Minimal consumer rule: if a structured event exists, pane text is supporting evidence only. Pane scraping must not override a higher-confidence typed event with matching session/workflow ownership.
+
+## Report schema v1 contract
+
+A Stream 2 report should be treated as a canonical fact record with optional projections. Consumers should preserve these semantics even when they receive only a downgraded view:
+
+- Every report payload declares a schema version and a stable report identity/content hash for the full-fidelity canonical payload.
+- Assertions are labeled as `fact`, `hypothesis`, or another declared evidence class, with confidence and source references. Negative evidence is first-class: `not observed`, `checked and absent`, and `redacted` are distinct states.
+- Field deltas name the field, previous value/state, new value/state, attribution, and whether the delta came from source content, projection, downgrade, or redaction policy.
+- Projections carry lineage back to the canonical report id/content hash and name the projection view, capability set, schema version, redaction policy, and deterministic rendering inputs.
+- Redaction provenance is explicit. A missing field without a redaction/downgrade/source-absence reason is not enough evidence for an automated consumer to conclude the underlying fact is absent.
+
+Minimal consumer rule: store the canonical identity and projection metadata together. Do not compare two projections as state changes unless their canonical content hash or declared projection inputs differ.
+
+## Approval-token and policy-blocked contract
+
+Policy-blocked actions and owner-approved exceptions belong in the same structured event/report family:
+
+- A policy block names the typed reason, policy source, actor scope, blocked action, and safe fallback path.
+- An approval token names the approving actor, policy exception, action, repository/worktree/branch/commit scope, expiry, and allowed use count.
+- Token consumption records the exact action and scope that spent the token. Replays, scope expansion, expired tokens, and revoked tokens should surface typed policy errors.
+- Delegation traceability stays attached when another worker/lane executes the approved action; the executor must be able to prove which approval artifact authorized the exception.
+
+Minimal consumer rule: prose such as "approved" is not an executable approval. Require the structured token and verify that it is unconsumed and scoped to the exact action before proceeding.
+
+## Capability negotiation and conformance
+
+Mixed-version consumers are expected during Stream 2 rollout. Producers and consumers should negotiate instead of silently dropping fields:
+
+- Consumers advertise supported report schema versions, field families, projection views, redaction states, downgrade semantics, and fixture/conformance suite version.
+- Producers preserve one canonical full-fidelity report and emit downgraded projections only with `downgraded_for_compatibility` metadata.
+- Deterministic projection inputs include schema version, consumer capability set, projection policy version, redaction policy version, and canonical content hash.
+- Consumer conformance should distinguish syntax acceptance from semantic correctness, especially for `redacted` vs `missing`, stale vs current projections, negative evidence, and approval-token replay states.
+
+Minimal consumer rule: an older consumer may accept a downgraded projection, but it must surface the downgrade as a capability limitation rather than treating omitted fields as canonical absence.
+
+## Documentation maintenance rules
+
+- Keep ROADMAP Phase 2 as the product requirement source and this file as the contract-reading guide.
+- Keep Rust type names and event names aligned with `rust/crates/runtime/src/lane_events.rs`; update this document in the same change when public event names or metadata semantics change.
+- Keep report-schema examples/fixtures aligned with this guide once the schema lane lands; fixture updates should explain intentional schema or projection changes.
+- Do not mutate `.omx/ultragoal` from worker lanes. Leader-owned Ultragoal checkpointing consumes commits and verification evidence from task results.

+- **Lane events / event identity / terminal reconciliation** — `rust/crates/runtime/src/lane_events.rs`, exported through `rust/crates/runtime/src/lib.rs`; tool-manifest consumers in `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs` write `LaneEvent` vectors.
+- **Report schema v1 / projection / redaction / capability negotiation** — `rust/crates/runtime/src/report_schema.rs`, exported through `rust/crates/runtime/src/lib.rs`; fixture note at `rust/crates/runtime/tests/fixtures/report_schema_v1/README.md`.
+- **Approval-token chain** — ROADMAP §§4.38-4.40; owned by worker-2 for this team split. Worker-1 did not edit it.
+- **Pinpoint closure batch** — runtime hygiene across compact/search-parser/policy/sandbox/integration-test surfaces: `rust/crates/runtime/src/compact.rs`, `rust/crates/runtime/src/file_ops.rs`, `rust/crates/runtime/src/policy_engine.rs`, `rust/crates/runtime/src/sandbox.rs`, `rust/crates/runtime/tests/integration_tests.rs`.

+- `7fff4c4` / task 4 auto-checkpoint — strict runtime clippy closure batch across compact/file_ops/policy/sandbox/integration tests.
+
+## Current verification evidence
+
+Run from `rust/` unless noted:
+
+- `cargo test -p runtime lane_events -- --nocapture` — PASS, 46 lane-event tests.
+- `cargo test -p runtime report_schema -- --nocapture` — PASS, 4 report-schema tests.

+
+## Leader integration verification plan
+
+1. Inspect worker commits: `git log --oneline --decorate --max-count=8`.
+2. Re-run focused contracts:
+   - `cd rust && cargo test -p runtime lane_events -- --nocapture`
+   - `cd rust && cargo test -p runtime report_schema -- --nocapture`
+   - `cd rust && cargo test -p tools lane_event_schema_serializes_to_canonical_names -- --nocapture`
+3. Re-run runtime quality gate:
+   - `cd rust && cargo check -p runtime`
+   - `cd rust && cargo clippy -p runtime --all-targets -- -D warnings`
+   - `cd rust && cargo test -p runtime -- --nocapture`
+4. If merging with worker-2 approval-token work, additionally run the worker-2 focused approval-token tests and check for export conflicts in `runtime/src/lib.rs`.
+5. If merging with worker-3/4 docs or harness work, re-run their named regression harnesses plus `git diff --check`.
+
+## Integration hazards
+
+- `runtime/src/lib.rs` export blocks are shared; resolve conflicts by keeping both lane-event and report-schema exports sorted enough to remain readable.
+- `tools/src/lib.rs` serializes lane events into agent manifests; terminal fingerprint changes intentionally affect `metadata.event_fingerprint` for finished/failed/superseded/merged/closed events with payloads.
+- `report_schema.rs` currently defines the reusable contract and in-code deterministic fixtures; it does not yet wire report emission into CLI/status surfaces.
+- ROADMAP approval-token §§4.38-4.40 remain a separate lane; do not treat worker-1 report schema as an approval artifact.
+- Full workspace checks may include unrelated slow/provider-dependent tests; the verified local gate for this stream is runtime + targeted tools tests above.

+# Claw Code 2.0 PR and Issue Resolution Gate
+
+This gate was added to the Claw Code 2.0 Ultragoal after the explicit requirement:
+
+> all PRs should be merged and all issues should be resolved if resolvable and correct.
+
+## Scope
+
+Before the Claw Code 2.0 Ultragoal can be marked complete:
+
+1. Every open GitHub PR at the current final-gate snapshot must be triaged.
+2. PRs that are correct, compatible with Claw Code 2.0 direction, and pass required verification must be merged.
+3. PRs that are stale, incorrect, duplicative, unsafe, spam, or outside Claw Code scope must not be merged; each needs a recorded rationale.
+4. Every open GitHub issue at the current final-gate snapshot must be triaged.
+5. Issues that are resolvable and correct must be fixed or explicitly linked to a merged fix.
+6. Issues that are spam, duplicates, incorrect, unactionable, externally blocked, or not Claw Code work must be closed or labeled/commented with rationale when repository policy allows.
+7. The final completion audit must use a fresh GitHub snapshot, not only the planning snapshot.
+
+## Current live snapshot
+
+A live snapshot was captured locally during G002 execution:
+
+- PR snapshot: `.omx/research/github-live/open-prs.json`
+- Issue snapshot: `.omx/research/github-live/open-issues.json`
+- Captured on: 2026-05-14 during the active Ultragoal run.
+- Observed counts: 50 open PR records and 1000 open issue records from GitHub CLI list calls.
+
+These local `.omx/research/github-live/*` files are evidence inputs, not final proof. The final gate must refresh them and compare deltas.
+
+## Required final evidence
+
+The final report must include:
+
+- Fresh `gh pr list --state open` and `gh issue list --state open` snapshots.
+- A PR ledger with one row per PR: merge / reject / defer, reason, verification, commit/merge reference.
+- An issue ledger with one row per issue: fixed / duplicate / spam / invalid / deferred-with-rationale / externally-blocked, reason, and linked evidence.
+- Verification that no correct, mergeable PR remains unmerged without rationale.
+- Verification that no resolvable, correct issue remains open without a fix or rationale.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+This gate does not require merging unsafe, unverified, incompatible, spam, or incorrect contributions. It requires explicit evidence-backed triage and action for everything that is correct and resolvable.

+# Roadmap PR goal intake
+
+Captured: 2026-05-14 (Asia/Seoul) during the Claw Code 2.0 Ultragoal run.
+
+Purpose: make the user's follow-up requirement durable: all roadmap PRs should be merged when correct/resolvable, and unresolved roadmap deltas should become Ultragoal work rather than being lost. This file is a tracked companion to the leader-owned `.omx/ultragoal/goals.json` and `.omx/ultragoal/ledger.jsonl` artifacts.
+
+## Merge policy
+
+- Merge only PRs that are still relevant to Claw Code 2.0, are non-draft, target `main`, and are conflict-free after a fresh mergeability refresh.
+- Prefer squash merges with a Lore-style body when GitHub allows a direct PR merge.
+- If a PR is documentation-only but adds a real roadmap gap, merging it is acceptable once checks/conflicts are clean.
+- If a PR is stale, duplicated by already-landed work, or not product-aligned, do not force-merge; record the rationale and map any still-correct requirement into G011/G012.
+- After merging roadmap PRs, refresh generated board artifacts (`.omx/cc2/board.json`, `.omx/cc2/board.md`) so Stream 0 coverage stays current.

+## Ultragoal mapping
+
+- G003-G010: close implementation gaps that overlap a roadmap PR title if the requirement belongs to the active stream.
+- G011: reconcile ecosystem/ops/UX roadmap PRs and unresolved correct issues that do not fit earlier streams.
+- G012: final release gate must prove that every open roadmap PR was merged, closed as duplicate/obsolete, or converted into an explicit remaining goal with evidence.
