Filing + Phase 1 fix in one commit (sibling of #143). ## Context With #143 Phase 1 landed (`claw status` degrades), `claw mcp` was the remaining diagnostic surface that hard-failed on a malformed `.claw.json`. Same input, same parse error, same partial-success violation. Fresh dogfood at 18:59 KST caught it on main HEAD `e2a43fc`. ## Changes ### ROADMAP.md Added Pinpoint #144 documenting the gap and acceptance criteria. Joins the partial-success / Principle #5 cluster with #143. ### rust/crates/commands/src/lib.rs `render_mcp_report_for()` + `render_mcp_report_json_for()` now catch the ConfigError at loader.load() instead of propagating: - **Text mode** prepends a "Config load error" block (same shape as #143's status output) before the MCP listing. The listing still renders with empty servers so the output structure is preserved. - **JSON mode** adds top-level `status: "ok" | "degraded"` + `config_load_error: string | null` fields alongside existing fields (`kind`, `action`, `working_directory`, `configured_servers`, `servers[]`). On clean runs, `status: "ok"` and `config_load_error: null`. On parse failure, `status: "degraded"`, `config_load_error: "..."`, `servers: []`, exit 0. - Both list and show actions get the same treatment. ### Regression test `commands::tests::mcp_degrades_gracefully_on_malformed_mcp_config_144`: - Injects the same malformed .claw.json as #143 (one valid + one broken mcpServers entry). - Asserts mcp list returns Ok (not Err). - Asserts top-level status: "degraded" and config_load_error names the malformed field path. - Asserts show action also degrades. - Asserts clean path returns status: "ok" with config_load_error null. ## Live verification $ claw mcp --output-format json { "action": "list", "kind": "mcp", "status": "degraded", "config_load_error": ".../.claw.json: mcpServers.missing-command: missing string field command", "working_directory": "/Users/yeongyu/clawd", "configured_servers": 0, "servers": [] } Exit 0. ## Contract alignment after this commit All three diagnostic surfaces match now: - `doctor` — degraded envelope with typed check entries ✅ - `status` — degraded envelope with config_load_error ✅ (#143) - `mcp` — degraded envelope with config_load_error ✅ (this commit) Phase 2 (typed-error object joining taxonomy §4.44) tracked separately across all three surfaces. Full workspace test green except pre-existing resume_latest flake (unrelated). Closes ROADMAP #144 phase 1.

Claw Code is the public Rust implementation of the claw CLI agent harness.
The canonical implementation lives in rust/, and the current source of truth for this repository is ultraworkers/claw-code.
Important
Start with
USAGE.mdfor build, auth, CLI, session, and parity-harness workflows. Makeclaw doctoryour first health check after building, userust/README.mdfor crate-level details, readPARITY.mdfor the current Rust-port checkpoint, and seedocs/container.mdfor the container-first workflow.ACP / Zed status:
claw-codedoes not ship an ACP/Zed daemon entrypoint yet. Runclaw acp(orclaw --acp) for the current status instead of guessing from source layout;claw acp serveis currently a discoverability alias only, and real ACP support remains tracked separately inROADMAP.md.

Quick start
Note
[!WARNING]
cargo install claw-codeinstalls the wrong thing. Theclaw-codecrate on crates.io is a deprecated stub that placesclaw-code-deprecated.exe— notclaw. Running it only prints"claw-code has been renamed to agent-code". Do not usecargo install claw-code. Either build from source (this repo) or install the upstream binary:cargo install agent-code # upstream binary — installs 'agent.exe' (Windows) / 'agent' (Unix), NOT 'agent-code'This repo (
ultraworkers/claw-code) is build-from-source only — follow the steps below.
# 1. Clone and build
git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code
cd claw-code/rust
cargo build --workspace
# 2. Set your API key (Anthropic API key — not a Claude subscription)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
# 3. Verify everything is wired correctly
./target/debug/claw doctor
# 4. Run a prompt
./target/debug/claw prompt "say hello"
Note
Windows (PowerShell): the binary is
claw.exe, notclaw. Use.\target\debug\claw.exeor runcargo run -- prompt "say hello"to skip the path lookup.
Windows setup
PowerShell is a supported Windows path. Use whichever shell works for you. The common onboarding issues on Windows are:
- Install Rust first — download from https://rustup.rs/ and run the installer. Close and reopen your terminal when it finishes.
- Verify Rust is on PATH:
If this fails, reopen your terminal or run the PATH setup from the Rust installer output, then retry.cargo --version - Clone and build (works in PowerShell, Git Bash, or WSL):
git clone https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code cd claw-code/rust cargo build --workspace - Run (PowerShell — note
.exeand backslash):$env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = "sk-ant-..." .\target\debug\claw.exe prompt "say hello"
Git Bash / WSL are optional alternatives, not requirements. If you prefer bash-style paths (/c/Users/you/... instead of C:\Users\you\...), Git Bash (ships with Git for Windows) works well. In Git Bash, the MINGW64 prompt is expected and normal — not a broken install.
Note
Auth: claw requires an API key (
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,OPENAI_API_KEY, etc.) — Claude subscription login is not a supported auth path.
Run the workspace test suite:
cd rust
cargo test --workspace
