CLAUDE.md was documenting the v2.0 target schema as if it were current binary behavior. This misled validator/harness implementers into assuming the Rust binary emits timestamp, command, exit_code, output_format, schema_version fields when it doesn't. Fixed by explicitly marking the boundary: 1. SCHEMAS.md section: now clearly labels 'target v2.0 design' and lists both v1.0 (actual binary) and v2.0 (target) field shapes 2. Clawable commands requirements: now explicitly separates v1.0 (current) and v2.0 (post-FIX_LOCUS_164) envelope requirements 3. Added inline migration note pointing to FIX_LOCUS_164.md This closes #165 as the third P0 doc-truthfulness fix (Option A: preserve current truth, add v2.0 target as separate labeled section). P0 doc-truthfulness family pattern (all three related to #164 envelope divergence): - #78 USAGE.md: active misdocumentation (fixed cycle #78) - #79 ERROR_HANDLING.md: copy-paste trap (fixed cycle #79) - #165 CLAUDE.md: target/current boundary collapse (fixed cycle #81)

# CLAUDE.md — Python Reference Implementation
|
||
|
||
**This file guides work on `src/` and `tests/` — the Python reference harness for claw-code protocol.**
|
||
|
||
The production CLI lives in `rust/`; this directory (`src/`, `tests/`, `.py` files) is a **protocol validation and dogfood surface**.
|
||
|
||
## What this Python harness does
|
||
|
||
**Machine-first orchestration layer** — proves that the claw-code JSON protocol is:
|
||
- Deterministic and recoverable (every output is reproducible)
|
||
- Self-describing (SCHEMAS.md documents every field)
|
||
- Clawable (external agents can build ONE error handler for all commands)
|
||
|
||
## Stack
|
||
- **Language:** Python 3.13+
|
||
- **Dependencies:** minimal (no frameworks; pure stdlibs + attrs/dataclasses)
|
||
- **Test runner:** pytest
|
||
- **Protocol contract:** SCHEMAS.md (machine-readable JSON envelope)
|
||
|
||
## Quick start
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# 1. Install dependencies (if not already in venv)
|
||
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
|
||
# (dependencies minimal; standard library mostly)
|
||
|
||
# 2. Run tests
|
||
python3 -m pytest tests/ -q
|
||
|
||
# 3. Try a command
|
||
python3 -m src.main bootstrap "hello" --output-format json | python3 -m json.tool
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Verification workflow
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Unit tests (fast)
|
||
python3 -m pytest tests/ -q 2>&1 | tail -3
|
||
|
||
# Type checking (optional but recommended)
|
||
python3 -m mypy src/ --ignore-missing-imports 2>&1 | tail -5
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Repository shape
|
||
|
||
- **`src/`** — Python reference harness implementing SCHEMAS.md protocol
|
||
- `main.py` — CLI entry point; all 14 clawable commands
|
||
- `query_engine.py` — core TurnResult / QueryEngineConfig
|
||
- `runtime.py` — PortRuntime; turn loop + cancellation (#164 Stage A/B)
|
||
- `session_store.py` — session persistence
|
||
- `transcript.py` — turn transcript assembly
|
||
- `commands.py`, `tools.py` — simulated command/tool trees
|
||
- `models.py` — PermissionDenial, UsageSummary, etc.
|
||
|
||
- **`tests/`** — comprehensive protocol validation (22 baseline → 192 passing as of 2026-04-22)
|
||
- `test_cli_parity_audit.py` — proves all 14 clawable commands accept --output-format
|
||
- `test_json_envelope_field_consistency.py` — validates SCHEMAS.md contract
|
||
- `test_cancel_observed_field.py` — #164 Stage B: cancellation observability + safe-to-reuse semantics
|
||
- `test_run_turn_loop_*.py` — turn loop behavior (timeout, cancellation, continuation, permissions)
|
||
- `test_submit_message_*.py` — budget, cancellation contracts
|
||
- `test_*_cli.py` — command-specific JSON output validation
|
||
|
||
- **`SCHEMAS.md`** — canonical JSON contract (**target v2.0 design; see note below**)
|
||
- **Target v2.0 common fields** (all envelopes): timestamp, command, exit_code, output_format, schema_version
|
||
- **Current v1.0 binary fields** (what the Rust binary actually emits): flat top-level `kind` + verb-specific fields OR `{error, hint, kind, type}` for errors
|
||
- Error envelope shape (target v2.0: nested error object)
|
||
- Not-found envelope shape (target v2.0)
|
||
- Per-command success schemas (14 commands documented)
|
||
- Turn Result fields (including cancel_observed as of #164 Stage B)
|
||
|
||
> **Important:** SCHEMAS.md describes the **v2.0 target envelope**, not the current v1.0 binary behavior. The binary does NOT currently emit `timestamp`, `command`, `exit_code`, `output_format`, or `schema_version` fields. See [`FIX_LOCUS_164.md`](./FIX_LOCUS_164.md) for the migration plan (Phase 1: dual-mode flag; Phase 2: default bump; Phase 3: deprecation).
|
||
|
||
- **`.gitignore`** — excludes `.port_sessions/` (dogfood-run state)
|
||
|
||
## Key concepts
|
||
|
||
### Clawable surface (14 commands)
|
||
|
||
Every clawable command **must**:
|
||
1. Accept `--output-format {text,json}`
|
||
2. Return JSON envelopes (current v1.0: flat shape with top-level `kind`; target v2.0: nested with common fields per SCHEMAS.md)
|
||
3. **v1.0 (current):** Emit flat top-level fields: verb-specific data + `kind` (verb identity for success, error classification for errors)
|
||
4. **v2.0 (target, post-FIX_LOCUS_164):** Use common wrapper fields (timestamp, command, exit_code, output_format, schema_version) with nested `data` or `error` objects
|
||
5. Exit 0 on success, 1 on error/not-found, 2 on timeout
|
||
|
||
**Migration note:** The Python reference harness in `src/` was written against the v2.0 target schema (SCHEMAS.md). The Rust binary in `rust/` currently emits v1.0 (flat). See [`FIX_LOCUS_164.md`](./FIX_LOCUS_164.md) for the full migration plan and timeline.
|
||
|
||
**Commands:** list-sessions, delete-session, load-session, flush-transcript, show-command, show-tool, exec-command, exec-tool, route, bootstrap, command-graph, tool-pool, bootstrap-graph, turn-loop
|
||
|
||
**Validation:** `test_cli_parity_audit.py` auto-tests all 14 for --output-format acceptance.
|
||
|
||
### OPT_OUT surfaces (12 commands)
|
||
|
||
Explicitly exempt from --output-format requirement (for now):
|
||
- Rich-Markdown reports: summary, manifest, parity-audit, setup-report
|
||
- List commands with query filters: subsystems, commands, tools
|
||
- Simulation/debug: remote-mode, ssh-mode, teleport-mode, direct-connect-mode, deep-link-mode
|
||
|
||
**Future work:** audit OPT_OUT surfaces for JSON promotion (post-#164).
|
||
|
||
### Protocol layers
|
||
|
||
**Coverage (#167–#170):** All clawable commands emit JSON
|
||
**Enforcement (#171):** Parity CI prevents new commands skipping JSON
|
||
**Documentation (#172):** SCHEMAS.md locks field contract
|
||
**Alignment (#173):** Test framework validates docs ↔ code match
|
||
**Field evolution (#164 Stage B):** cancel_observed proves protocol extensibility
|
||
|
||
## Testing & coverage
|
||
|
||
### Run full suite
|
||
```bash
|
||
python3 -m pytest tests/ -q
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Run one test file
|
||
```bash
|
||
python3 -m pytest tests/test_cancel_observed_field.py -v
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Run one test
|
||
```bash
|
||
python3 -m pytest tests/test_cancel_observed_field.py::TestCancelObservedField::test_default_value_is_false -v
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Check coverage (optional)
|
||
```bash
|
||
python3 -m pip install coverage # if not already installed
|
||
python3 -m coverage run -m pytest tests/
|
||
python3 -m coverage report --skip-covered
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Target: >90% line coverage for src/ (currently ~85%).
|
||
|
||
## Common workflows
|
||
|
||
### Add a new clawable command
|
||
|
||
1. Add parser in `main.py` (argparse)
|
||
2. Add `--output-format` flag
|
||
3. Emit JSON envelope using `wrap_json_envelope(data, command_name)`
|
||
4. Add command to CLAWABLE_SURFACES in test_cli_parity_audit.py
|
||
5. Document in SCHEMAS.md (schema + example)
|
||
6. Write test in tests/test_*_cli.py or tests/test_json_envelope_field_consistency.py
|
||
7. Run full suite to confirm parity
|
||
|
||
### Modify TurnResult or protocol fields
|
||
|
||
1. Update dataclass in `query_engine.py`
|
||
2. Update SCHEMAS.md with new field + rationale
|
||
3. Write test in `tests/test_json_envelope_field_consistency.py` that validates field presence
|
||
4. Update all places that construct TurnResult (grep for `TurnResult(`)
|
||
5. Update bootstrap/turn-loop JSON builders in main.py
|
||
6. Run `tests/` to ensure no regressions
|
||
|
||
### Promote an OPT_OUT surface to CLAWABLE
|
||
|
||
**Prerequisite:** Real demand signal logged in `OPT_OUT_DEMAND_LOG.md` (threshold: 2+ independent signals per surface). Speculative promotions are not allowed.
|
||
|
||
Once demand is evidenced:
|
||
1. Add --output-format flag to argparse
|
||
2. Emit wrap_json_envelope() output in JSON path
|
||
3. Move command from OPT_OUT_SURFACES to CLAWABLE_SURFACES
|
||
4. Document in SCHEMAS.md
|
||
5. Write test for JSON output
|
||
6. Run parity audit to confirm no regressions
|
||
7. Update `OPT_OUT_DEMAND_LOG.md` to mark signal as resolved
|
||
|
||
### File a demand signal (when a claw actually needs JSON from an OPT_OUT surface)
|
||
|
||
1. Open `OPT_OUT_DEMAND_LOG.md`
|
||
2. Find the surface's entry under Group A/B/C
|
||
3. Append a dated entry with Source, Use Case, and Markdown-alternative-checked explanation
|
||
4. If this is the 2nd signal for the same surface, file a promotion pinpoint in ROADMAP.md
|
||
|
||
## Dogfood principles
|
||
|
||
The Python harness is continuously dogfood-tested:
|
||
- Every cycle ships to `main` with detailed commit messages
|
||
- New tests are written before/alongside implementation
|
||
- Test suite must pass before pushing (zero-regression principle)
|
||
- Commits grouped by pinpoint (#159, #160, ..., #174)
|
||
- Failure modes classified per exit code: 0=success, 1=error, 2=timeout
|
||
|
||
## Protocol governance
|
||
|
||
- **SCHEMAS.md is the source of truth** — any implementation must match field-for-field
|
||
- **Tests enforce the contract** — drift is caught by test suite
|
||
- **Field additions are forward-compatible** — new fields get defaults, old clients ignore them
|
||
- **Exit codes are signals** — claws use them for conditional logic (0→continue, 1→escalate, 2→timeout)
|
||
- **Timestamps are audit trails** — every envelope includes ISO 8601 UTC time for chronological ordering
