Generic fatal wrapper handling already preserved safe classes and trace ids for single provider failures, but repeated retry exhaustion still surfaced as provider_internal. Classify generic wrapped RetriesExhausted failures as provider_retry_exhausted so Jobdori-style repeat failures stay distinguishable from one-off provider crashes, and keep the display logic clippy-clean.
Constraint: Keep the change minimal and preserve existing user-visible error wording outside retry-exhaustion classification
Rejected: Broadly rework all provider error taxonomy | unnecessary for the targeted opaque-wrapper regression
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep retry exhaustion distinct from single-shot provider_internal wrappers when the nested error is the same generic fatal wrapper

Not-tested: Live OpenClaw/Anthropic service failure telemetry outside the local test harness
Dogfood showed oversized requests still surfacing as raw hard errors, even when claw could tell the user exactly how to recover. This keeps context-window failures classified, recognizes the same failure when it comes back from a provider response, and renders recovery steps that point operators at the existing compaction and fresh-session paths instead of a provider-style dump.
Constraint: Keep the failure class explicit so automation and operators can still distinguish context-window exhaustion from generic provider failures
Constraint: Reuse existing /compact and session-reset UX instead of inventing a new recovery workflow
Rejected: Auto-run compaction on failure | mutates session state on an error path the user may want to inspect first
Rejected: Only prettify local preflight failures | provider-returned context-window errors would still leak raw failure text
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep provider-side context-window detection aligned with real oversized-request messages before broadening the marker list
Tested: cargo fmt --all --check

Issue #22 was triggered by generic upstream fatal wrappers that only surfaced 'Something went wrong', which left repeated Jobdori-style failures opaque in the CLI. Capture provider request ids on error responses, classify the known generic wrapper as provider_internal, and prefix the user-visible runtime error with the failure class plus session/trace identifiers so operators can correlate the failure quickly.
Constraint: Keep the fix small and user-safe without redesigning the broader runtime error taxonomy
Constraint: Preserve existing non-generic error text unless the wrapper is the known opaque fatal surface
Rejected: Broadly rewriting every runtime error into classified envelopes | unnecessary scope expansion for issue #22
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: If more opaque wrappers appear, extend the marker list and classification helper rather than reintroducing raw wrapper text alone

Not-tested: Live upstream reproduction of the Jobdori failure against a real provider session
The runtime already tracked rough token estimates for compaction, but provider-bound
requests still relied on naive model output limits and could be sent upstream even
when the selected model could not fit the estimated prompt plus requested output.
This adds a small model token/context registry in the API layer, estimates request
size from the serialized prompt payload, and fails locally with a dedicated
context-window error before Anthropic or xAI calls are made. Focused integration
coverage asserts the preflight fires before any HTTP request leaves the process.
Constraint: Keep the first pass minimal and reusable across both Anthropic and OpenAI-compatible providers
Rejected: Auto-compact-and-retry in the same patch | broader control-flow change than the requested minimal preflight
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Expand the model registry before enabling preflight for additional providers or aliases
Tested: cargo build -p api -p tools -p rusty-claude-cli; cargo test -p api
Not-tested: End-to-end CLI auto-compaction or retry behavior after a local context_window_blocked failure
This adds an end-to-end OAuth PKCE login/logout path to the Rust CLI,
persists OAuth credentials under the config home, and teaches the
API client to use persisted bearer credentials with refresh support when
env-based API credentials are absent.
Constraint: Reuse existing runtime OAuth primitives and keep browser/callback orchestration in the CLI
Constraint: Preserve auth precedence as API key, then auth-token env, then persisted OAuth credentials
Rejected: Put browser launch and token exchange entirely in runtime | caused boundary creep across shared crates
Rejected: Duplicate credential parsing in CLI and api | increased drift and refresh inconsistency
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep logout non-destructive to unrelated credentials.json fields and do not silently fall back to stale expired tokens
Tested: cargo fmt; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test
Not-tested: Manual live Anthropic OAuth browser flow against real authorize/token endpoints
Wire the CLI to the Anthropic client, runtime conversation loop, and MVP in-tree tool executor so prompt mode and the default REPL both execute real turns instead of scaffold-only commands.
Constraint: Proxy auth uses ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN as the primary x-api-key source and may stream extra usage fields
Constraint: Must preserve existing scaffold commands while enabling real prompt and REPL flows
Rejected: Keep prompt mode on the old scaffold path | does not satisfy end-to-end CLI requirement
Rejected: Depend solely on raw SSE message_stop from proxy | proxy/event differences required tolerant parsing plus fallback handling
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep prompt mode tool-free unless the one-shot path is explicitly expanded and reverified against the proxy
Tested: cargo test -p api; cargo test -p tools; cargo test -p runtime; cargo test -p claw-cli; cargo build; cargo run -p claw-cli -- prompt "say hello"; printf '/quit\n' | cargo run -p claw-cli --
Not-tested: Full interactive tool_use roundtrip against the proxy in REPL mode
