From dc274a0f96d810fe6f0f64f7c8a944fcf088bc89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: YeonGyu-Kim Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 01:25:32 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] fix(#251): intercept session-management verbs at top-level parser to bypass credential check MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## What Was Broken (ROADMAP #251) Session-management verbs (list-sessions, load-session, delete-session, flush-transcript) were falling through to the parser's `_other => Prompt` catchall at main.rs:~1017. This construed them as `CliAction::Prompt { prompt: "list-sessions", ... }` which then required credentials via the Anthropic API path. The result: purely-local session operations emitted `missing_credentials` errors instead of session-layer envelopes. ## Acceptance Criterion The fix's essential requirement (stated by gaebal-gajae): **"These 4 verbs stop falling through to Prompt and emitting `missing_credentials`."** Not "all 4 are fully implemented to spec" — stubs are acceptable for delete-session and flush-transcript as long as they route LOCALLY. ## What This Fix Does Follows the exact pattern from #145 (plugins) and #146 (config/diff): 1. **CliAction enum** (main.rs:~700): Added 4 new variants. 2. **Parser** (main.rs:~945): Added 4 match arms before the `_other => Prompt` catchall. Each arm validates the verb's positional args (e.g., load-session requires a session-id) and rejects extra arguments. 3. **Dispatcher** (main.rs:~455): - list-sessions → dispatches to `runtime::session_control::list_managed_sessions_for()` - load-session → dispatches to `runtime::session_control::load_managed_session_for()` - delete-session → emits `not_yet_implemented` error (local, not auth) - flush-transcript → emits `not_yet_implemented` error (local, not auth) ## Dogfood Verification Run on clean environment (no credentials): ```bash $ env -i PATH=$PATH HOME=$HOME claw list-sessions --output-format json { "command": "list-sessions", "sessions": [ {"id": "session-1775777421902-1", ...}, ... ] } # ✓ Session-layer envelope, not auth error $ env -i PATH=$PATH HOME=$HOME claw load-session nonexistent --output-format json {"error":"session not found: nonexistent", "kind":"session_not_found", ...} # ✓ Local session_not_found error, not missing_credentials $ env -i PATH=$PATH HOME=$HOME claw delete-session test-id --output-format json {"command":"delete-session","error":"not_yet_implemented","kind":"not_yet_implemented","type":"error"} # ✓ Local not_yet_implemented, not auth error $ env -i PATH=$PATH HOME=$HOME claw flush-transcript test-id --output-format json {"command":"flush-transcript","error":"not_yet_implemented","kind":"not_yet_implemented","type":"error"} # ✓ Local not_yet_implemented, not auth error ``` Regression sanity: ```bash $ claw plugins --output-format json # #145 still works $ claw prompt "hello" --output-format json # still requires credentials correctly $ claw list-sessions extra arg --output-format json # rejects extra args with cli_parse ``` ## Regression Tests Added Inside `removed_login_and_logout_subcommands_error_helpfully` test function: - `list-sessions` → CliAction::ListSessions (both text and JSON output) - `load-session ` → CliAction::LoadSession with session_reference - `delete-session ` → CliAction::DeleteSession with session_id - `flush-transcript ` → CliAction::FlushTranscript with session_id - Missing required arg errors (load-session and delete-session without ID) - Extra args rejection (list-sessions with extra positional args) All 180 binary tests pass. 466 library tests pass. ## Fix Scope vs. Full Implementation This fix addresses #251 (dispatch-order bug) and #250's Option A (implement the surfaces). list-sessions and load-session are fully functional via existing runtime::session_control helpers. delete-session and flush-transcript are stubbed with local "not yet implemented" errors to satisfy #251's acceptance criterion without requiring additional session-store mutations that can ship independently in a follow-up. ## Template Exact same pattern as #145 (plugins) and #146 (config/diff): top-level verb interception → CliAction variant → dispatcher with local operation. ## Related Closes #251. Addresses #250 Option A for 4 verbs. Does not block #250 Option B (documentation scope guards) which remains valuable. --- rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/main.rs | 285 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 285 insertions(+) diff --git a/rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/main.rs b/rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/main.rs index 52915f0..09f6860 100644 --- a/rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/main.rs +++ b/rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/main.rs @@ -452,6 +452,113 @@ fn run() -> Result<(), Box> { ); } }, + // #251: session-management verbs (list-sessions, load-session, + // delete-session, flush-transcript) are pure-local operations. + // They are intercepted at the parser level and dispatched directly + // to session-control operations without requiring credentials. + CliAction::ListSessions { output_format } => { + use runtime::session_control::list_managed_sessions_for; + let base_dir = env::current_dir()?; + let sessions = list_managed_sessions_for(base_dir)?; + match output_format { + CliOutputFormat::Text => { + if sessions.is_empty() { + println!("No sessions found."); + } else { + for session in sessions { + println!("{} ({})", session.id, session.path.display()); + } + } + } + CliOutputFormat::Json => { + // #251: ManagedSessionSummary doesn't impl Serialize; + // construct JSON manually with the public fields. + let sessions_json: Vec = sessions + .iter() + .map(|s| { + serde_json::json!({ + "id": s.id, + "path": s.path.display().to_string(), + "updated_at_ms": s.updated_at_ms, + "message_count": s.message_count, + }) + }) + .collect(); + let result = serde_json::json!({ + "command": "list-sessions", + "sessions": sessions_json, + }); + println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&result)?); + } + } + } + CliAction::LoadSession { + session_reference, + output_format, + } => { + use runtime::session_control::load_managed_session_for; + let base_dir = env::current_dir()?; + let loaded = load_managed_session_for(base_dir, &session_reference)?; + match output_format { + CliOutputFormat::Text => { + println!( + "Session {} loaded\n File {}\n Messages {}", + loaded.session.session_id, + loaded.handle.path.display(), + loaded.session.messages.len() + ); + } + CliOutputFormat::Json => { + let result = serde_json::json!({ + "command": "load-session", + "session": { + "id": loaded.session.session_id, + "path": loaded.handle.path.display().to_string(), + "messages": loaded.session.messages.len(), + }, + }); + println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&result)?); + } + } + } + CliAction::DeleteSession { + session_id: _, + output_format, + } => { + // #251: delete-session implementation deferred + eprintln!("delete-session is not yet implemented."); + if matches!(output_format, CliOutputFormat::Json) { + eprintln!( + "{}", + serde_json::json!({ + "type": "error", + "error": "not_yet_implemented", + "command": "delete-session", + "kind": "not_yet_implemented", + }) + ); + } + std::process::exit(1); + } + CliAction::FlushTranscript { + session_id: _, + output_format, + } => { + // #251: flush-transcript implementation deferred + eprintln!("flush-transcript is not yet implemented."); + if matches!(output_format, CliOutputFormat::Json) { + eprintln!( + "{}", + serde_json::json!({ + "type": "error", + "error": "not_yet_implemented", + "command": "flush-transcript", + "kind": "not_yet_implemented", + }) + ); + } + std::process::exit(1); + } CliAction::Export { session_reference, output_path, @@ -579,6 +686,26 @@ enum CliAction { Help { output_format: CliOutputFormat, }, + // #251: session-management verbs are pure-local reads/mutations on the + // session store.

Converted to string via .to_string() in error handler 3. classify_error_kind() cannot match "os error" or "No such file" 4. Defaults to "kind": "unknown" The information is there at the source (operation name, target path, io::ErrorKind) but lost at the propagation boundary. ## What This Fix Does Three changes: 1. **New helper: contextualize_io_error()** (main.rs:~260) Wraps an io::Error with operation name + target path into a recognizable message format: "{operation} failed: {target} ({error})" 2. **Classifier branch added** (classify_error_kind at main.rs:~270) Recognizes the new format and classifies as "filesystem_io_error": else if message.contains("export failed:") || message.contains("diff failed:") || message.contains("config failed:") { "filesystem_io_error" } 3. **run_export() wired** (main.rs:~6915) fs::write() call now uses .map_err() to enrich io::Error: fs::write(path, &markdown).map_err(|e| -> Box { contextualize_io_error("export", &path.display().to_string(), e).into() })?; ## Dogfood Verification Before fix: {"error":"No such file or directory (os error 2)","kind":"unknown","type":"error"} After fix: {"error":"export failed: /private/nonexistent/path/file.jsonl (No such file or directory (os error 2))","kind":"filesystem_io_error","type":"error"} The envelope now tells downstream claws: - WHAT operation failed (export) - WHERE it failed (the path) - WHAT KIND of failure (filesystem_io_error) - The original errno detail preserved for diagnosis ## Non-Regression Verification - Successful export still works (emits "kind": "export" envelope as before) - Session not found error still emits "session_not_found" (not filesystem) - missing_credentials still works correctly - cli_parse still works correctly - All 180 binary tests pass - All 466 library tests pass - All 95 compat-harness tests pass ## Regression Tests Added Inside the main CliAction test function: - "export failed:" pattern classifies as "filesystem_io_error" (not "unknown") - "diff failed:" pattern classifies as "filesystem_io_error" - "config failed:" pattern classifies as "filesystem_io_error" - contextualize_io_error() produces a message containing operation name - contextualize_io_error() produces a message containing target path - Messages produced by contextualize_io_error() are classifier-recognizable ## Scope This is the minimum viable fix: enrich export's fs::write with context. Future work (filed as part of #130b scope): apply same pattern to other filesystem operations (diff, plugins, config fs reads, session store writes, etc.). Each application is a copy-paste of the same helper pattern. ## Pattern Follows #145 (plugins parser interception), #248-249 (arm-level leak templates). Helper + classifier + call site wiring.

Other commands (status, sandbox, doctor, init, state, export, etc.) routed through `parse_local_help_action()` which detected `--help` / `-h` and routed to a LocalHelpTopic. The `diff` arm lacked this guard. ## What This Fix Does Three minimal changes: 1. **LocalHelpTopic enum extended** with new `Diff` variant 2. **parse_local_help_action() extended** to map `"diff"` → `LocalHelpTopic::Diff` 3. **diff arm guard added**: check for help flag before extra-args validation 4. **Help topic renderer added**: human-readable help text for diff command Fix locus at main.rs:1063: "diff" => { // #130c: accept --help / -h as first argument and route to help topic if rest.len() == 2 && is_help_flag(&rest[1]) { return Ok(CliAction::HelpTopic(LocalHelpTopic::Diff)); } if rest.len() > 1 { /* existing error */ } Ok(CliAction::Diff { output_format }) } ## Dogfood Verification Before fix: $ claw diff --help [error-kind: unknown] error: unexpected extra arguments after `claw diff`: --help After fix: $ claw diff --help Diff Usage claw diff [--output-format ] Purpose show local git staged + unstaged changes Requires workspace must be inside a git repository ... And `claw diff -h` (short form) also works. ## Non-Regression Verification - `claw diff` (no args) → still routes to Diff action correctly - `claw diff foo` (unknown arg) → still rejected as "unexpected extra arguments" - `claw diff --output-format json` (valid flag) → still works - All 180 binary tests pass - All 466 library tests pass ## Regression Tests Added (4 assertions) - `diff --help` → routes to HelpTopic(LocalHelpTopic::Diff) - `diff -h` (short form) → routes to HelpTopic(LocalHelpTopic::Diff) - bare `diff` → still routes to Diff action - `diff foo` (unknown arg) → still errors with "extra arguments" ## Pattern Follows #141 help-consistency work (extending LocalHelpTopic to cover more subcommands). Clean surface-parity fix: identify the outlier, add the missing guard.

Actual: silent acceptance of `--help`, runs config display anyway. This is the opposite outlier from #130c (which rejected help with an error). Together they form the help-parity anomaly: - #130c `diff --help` → error (rejects help) - #130d `config --help` → silent ignore (runs command, ignores help) - Others (status, mcp, export) → proper help - Expected behavior: all commands should show help on `--help` ## Root Cause (Traced) At main.rs:1050, the `"config"` parser arm parsed arguments positionally: "config" => { let tail = &rest[1..]; let section = tail.first().cloned(); // ... ignores unrecognized args like --help silently Ok(CliAction::Config { section, ... }) } Unlike the `diff` arm (#130c), `config` had no explicit check for extra args. It positionally parsed the first arg as an optional `section` and silently accepted/ignored any trailing arg, including `--help`. ## What This Fix Does Same pattern as #130c (help-surface parity): 1. **LocalHelpTopic enum extended** with new `Config` variant 2. **parse_local_help_action() extended** to map `"config"` → `LocalHelpTopic::Config` 3. **config arm guard added**: check for help flag before parsing section 4. **Help topic renderer added**: human-readable help text for config Fix locus at main.rs:1050: "config" => { // #130d: accept --help / -h and route to help topic if rest.len() >= 2 && is_help_flag(&rest[1]) { return Ok(CliAction::HelpTopic(LocalHelpTopic::Config)); } let tail = &rest[1..]; // ... existing parsing continues } ## Dogfood Verification Before fix: $ claw config --help Config Working directory ...

This is the same dispatch-order bug class as #251 (session verbs). The parser fell through to the credential check before help-flag resolution ran. Critical discoverability gap: users couldn't learn what these commands do without valid credentials. ## Root Cause (Traced) `parse_local_help_action()` (main.rs:1260) is called early in `parse_args()` (main.rs:1002), BEFORE credential check. But the match statement inside only recognized: status, sandbox, doctor, acp, init, state, export, version, system-prompt, dump-manifests, bootstrap-plan, diff, config. `help`, `submit`, `resume` were NOT in the list, so the function returned `None`, and parsing continued to credential check which then failed. ## What This Fix Does Same pattern as #130c (diff) and #130d (config): 1. **LocalHelpTopic enum extended** with Meta, Submit, Resume variants 2. **parse_local_help_action() extended** to map the three new cases 3. **Help topic renderers added** with accurate usage info Three-line change to parse_local_help_action: "help" => LocalHelpTopic::Meta, "submit" => LocalHelpTopic::Submit, "resume" => LocalHelpTopic::Resume, Dispatch order (parse_args): 1. --resume parsing 2. parse_local_help_action() ← NOW catches help/submit/resume --help 3. parse_single_word_command_alias() 4. parse_subcommand() ← Credential check happens here ## Dogfood Verification Before fix (all three): $ claw help --help [error-kind: missing_credentials] error: missing Anthropic credentials...

Use list, install, enable, disable, uninstall, or update. $ claw prompt --help claw v0.1.0 (top-level help — wrong help topic) `plugins` treated `--help` as an invalid subaction name. `prompt` was explicitly listed in the early `wants_help` interception with commit/pr/issue, which routed to top-level help instead of prompt-specific help. ## Root Cause (Traced) 1. **plugins**: `parse_local_help_action()` didn't have a "plugins" arm, so `["plugins", "--help"]` returned None and continued into the `"plugins"` parser arm (main.rs:1031), which treated `--help` as the `action` argument. Runtime layer then rejected it as "Unknown action". 2. **prompt**: At main.rs:~800, there was an early interception for `--help` following certain subcommands (prompt, commit, pr, issue) that forced `wants_help = true`, routing to generic top-level help instead of letting parse_local_help_action produce a prompt-specific topic. ## What This Fix Does Same pattern as #130c/#130d/#130e-A: 1. **LocalHelpTopic enum extended** with Plugins, Prompt variants 2. **parse_local_help_action() extended** to map both new cases 3. **Help topic renderers added** with accurate usage info 4. **Early prompt-interception removed** — prompt now falls through to parse_local_help_action like other subcommands. commit/pr/issue (which aren't actual subcommands yet) remain in the early list. ## Dogfood Verification Before fix: $ claw plugins --help Unknown /plugins action '--help'.
