feat(cli): add reasoning_effort field to CliAction::Prompt/Repl variants — ROADMAP #34 struct groundwork

Adds reasoning_effort: Option<String> to CliAction::Prompt and
CliAction::Repl enum variants. All constructor and pattern sites updated.
All test literals updated with reasoning_effort: None.

156 cli tests pass, fmt clean. The --reasoning-effort flag parse and
propagation to AnthropicRuntimeClient remains as follow-up work.

 31. **`code-on-disk → verified commit lands` depends on undocumented executor quirks** — dogfooded 2026-04-08 during live fix session. Three hidden contracts tripped the "last mile" path when using droid via acpx in the claw-code workspace: **(a) hidden CWD contract** — droid's `terminal/create` rejects `cd /path && cargo build` compound commands with `spawn ENOENT`; callers must pass `--cwd` or split commands; **(b) hidden commit-message transport limit** — embedding a multi-line commit message in a single shell invocation hits `ENAMETOOLONG`; workaround is `git commit -F <file>` but the caller must know to write the file first; **(c) hidden workspace lint/edition contract** — `unsafe_code = "forbid"` workspace-wide with Rust 2021 edition makes `unsafe {}` wrappers incorrect for `set_var`/`remove_var`, but droid generates Rust 2024-style unsafe blocks without inspecting the workspace Cargo.toml or clippy config. Each of these required the orchestrator to learn the constraint by failing, then switching strategies. **Acceptance bar:** a fresh agent should be able to verify/commit/push a correct diff in this workspace without needing to know executor-specific shell trivia ahead of time. **Fix shape:** (1) `run-acpx.sh`-style wrapper that normalizes the commit idiom (always writes to temp file, sets `--cwd`, splits compound commands); (2) inject workspace constraints into the droid/acpx task preamble (edition, lint gates, known shell executor quirks) so the model doesn't have to discover them from failures; (3) or upstream a fix to the executor itself so `cd /path && cmd` chains work correctly.

The gap: `openai/` prefix is correctly used for **transport selection** (pick the OpenAI-compat client) but the **wire model id** — the string placed in `"model": "..."` in the JSON request body — may not be the literal backend model string the user supplied. Two candidate failure modes: **(a)** `resolve_model_alias()` is called on the model string before it reaches the wire — alias expansion designed for Anthropic/known models corrupts a user-supplied backend-specific id; **(b)** the `openai/` routing prefix may not be stripped before `build_chat_completion_request` packages the body, so backends receive `openai/gpt-4` instead of `gpt-4`. **Fix shape:** cleanly separate transport selection from wire model id. Transport selection uses the prefix; wire model id is the user-supplied string minus only the routing prefix — no alias expansion, no prefix leakage. **Trace path for next session:** (1) find where `resolve_model_alias()` is called relative to the OpenAI-compat dispatch path; (2) inspect what `build_chat_completion_request` puts in `"model"` for an `openai/some-backend-id` input. **Source:** live user in #claw-code 2026-04-08, confirmed exact model id works outside claw, fails through claw for OpenAI-compat backend.

No fix needed. **Original filing below.**

+33. **OpenAI `/responses` endpoint rejects claw's tool schema: `object schema missing properties` / `invalid_function_parameters`** — **done at `e7e0fd2` on 2026-04-09**. Added `normalize_object_schema()` in `openai_compat.rs` which recursively walks JSON Schema trees and injects `"properties": {}` and `"additionalProperties": false` on every object-type node (without overwriting existing values). Called from `openai_tool_definition()` so both `/chat/completions` and `/responses` receive strict-validator-safe schemas. 3 unit tests added. All api tests pass. **Original filing below.**
+33. **OpenAI `/responses` endpoint rejects claw's tool schema: `object schema missing properties` / `invalid_function_parameters`** — dogfooded 2026-04-08 via live user in #claw-code. Repro: startup succeeds, provider routing succeeds (`Connected: gpt-5.4 via openai`), but request fails when claw sends tool/function schema to a `/responses`-compatible OpenAI backend. Backend rejects `StructuredOutput` with `object schema missing properties` and `invalid_function_parameters`. This is distinct from the `#32` model-id passthrough issue — routing and transport work correctly. The failure is at the schema validation layer: claw's tool schema is acceptable for `/chat/completions` but not strict enough for `/responses` endpoint validation. **Sharp next check:** emit what schema claw sends for `StructuredOutput` tool functions, compare against OpenAI `/responses` spec for strict JSON schema validation (required `properties` object, `additionalProperties: false`, etc). Likely fix: add missing `properties: {}` on object types, ensure `additionalProperties: false` is present on all object schemas in the function tool JSON. **Source:** live user in #claw-code 2026-04-08 with `gpt-5.4` on OpenAI-compat backend.

+34. **`reasoning_effort` / `budget_tokens` not surfaced on OpenAI-compat path** — dogfooded 2026-04-09. Users asking for "reasoning effort parity with opencode" are hitting a structural gap: `MessageRequest` in `rust/crates/api/src/types.rs` has no `reasoning_effort` or `budget_tokens` field, and `build_chat_completion_request` in `openai_compat.rs` does not inject either into the request body. This means passing `--thinking` or equivalent to an OpenAI-compat reasoning model (e.g. `o4-mini`, `deepseek-r1`, any model that accepts `reasoning_effort`) silently drops the field — the model runs without the requested effort level, and the user gets no warning. **Contrast with Anthropic path:** `anthropic.rs` already maps `thinking` config into `anthropic.thinking.budget_tokens` in the request body. **Fix shape:** (a) Add optional `reasoning_effort: Option<String>` field to `MessageRequest`; (b) In `build_chat_completion_request`, if `reasoning_effort` is `Some`, emit `"reasoning_effort": value` in the JSON body; (c) In the CLI, wire `--thinking low/medium/high` or equivalent to populate the field when the resolved provider is `ProviderKind::OpenAi`; (d) Add unit test asserting `reasoning_effort` appears in the request body when set. **Source:** live user questions in #claw-code 2026-04-08/09 (dan_theman369 asking for "same flow as opencode for reasoning effort"; gaebal-gajae confirmed gap at `1491453913100976339`). Companion gap to #33 on the OpenAI-compat path.

+35. **OpenAI gpt-5.x requires max_completion_tokens not max_tokens** -- dogfooded 2026-04-09. rklehm repro: gpt-5.2 via OpenAI-compat, startup OK, routing OK, but requests fail because claw emits max_tokens where gpt-5* requires max_completion_tokens. Fix: emit max_completion_tokens on OpenAI-compat path (backward-compatible). Add unit test. Source: rklehm in #claw-code 2026-04-09.

+36. **Custom/project skill invocation disconnected from skill discovery** -- dogfooded 2026-04-09. /skills lists custom skills (e.g. caveman) but bare skill-name invocation does not dispatch them; falls through to plain model prompt. Fix: audit classify_skills_slash_command, ensure any skill listed by /skills has a deterministic invocation path, or document the correct syntax. Source: gaebal-gajae dogfood 2026-04-09.
+
+37. **Claude subscription login path should be removed, not deprecated** -- dogfooded 2026-04-09. Official auth should be API key only (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OAuth access token via ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN). claw login with Claude subscription credentials creates legal/billing ambiguity. Fix: remove the subscription login surface entirely; update README/USAGE.md to say API key is the only supported path. Source: gaebal-gajae policy decision 2026-04-09.
+
+38. **Dead-session opacity: bot cannot self-detect compaction vs broken tool surface** -- dogfooded 2026-04-09. Jobdori session spent ~15h declaring itself "dead" in-channel while tools were actually returning correct results within each turn. Root cause: context compaction causes tool outputs to be summarised away between turns, making the bot interpret absence-of-remembered-output as tool failure. This is a distinct failure mode from ROADMAP #31 (executor quirks): the session is alive and tools are functional, but the agent cannot tell the difference between "my last tool call produced no output" (compaction) and "the tool is broken". Downstream: repetitive false-dead signals in the channel, work not getting done despite the execution surface being live. Fix shape: (a) probe with a short known-output command at turn start if context has been compacted; (b) gate "I am dead" declarations behind at least one within-turn tool call with a verified non-empty result; (c) consider adding a session-health canary cron that fires a wake with a minimal probe and checks the result. Source: Jobdori self-dogfood 2026-04-09; observed in #clawcode-building-in-public across multiple Clawhip nudge cycles.
