feat: integrate custom-openai provider namespace with separate env vars

- Add 'custom-openai' provider kind to setup_wizard.rs with distinct env namespace
- Add CustomOpenAi variant to ProviderConfigKind enum in api/client.rs
- Implement OpenAiCompatConfig::custom_openai() for custom-openai endpoint
- Update explicit_provider_kind_for_model() to handle 'custom-openai/' prefix
- Add tests for custom-openai configuration persistence across runtime boundary

+# GJC Tool Semantics Alignment: Phase 1 (read/edit/search/find)
+
+**Status**: Implementation plan  
+**Issue**: #3323  
+**Scope**: Slice 2.1 - Tool catalog semantic parity for read/edit/search/find  
+**Target**: Ship in batches with focused PRs
+
+---
+
+## 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
+
+This document details the semantic gaps between claw-code's current tool implementations and GJC's (gajae-code) reference implementations for the highest-value tools: **read**, **edit**, **search**, and **find**.
+
+### Key Gaps
+
+| Tool | Current (claw-code) | Target (GJC) | Gap | Complexity |
+|------|-----|--------|-----|------------|
+| **read** | offset/limit pagination | Line selectors (`:L-L+N`), raw mode, truncation footers | High | Medium |
+| **write** | Simple file replacement | Full replacement semantics (matching GJC) | Low | Low |
+| **edit** | String replacement (old→new) | String replacement with rich patch output | Low | Low |
+| **find** (glob) | Pattern expansion only | Recursive glob with filtering | Low | Low |
+| **search** (grep) | Regex search with context | Regex with context + advanced filtering | Low | Low |
+
+---
+
+## 2. GJC TOOL SEMANTICS REFERENCE
+
+### 2.1 READ Tool
+
+**Source**: `gajae-code/packages/coding-agent/src/tools/read.ts` (3,500+ LOC)
+
+#### Input Schema
+```typescript
+{
+  path: string;           // File path (relative or absolute)
+  offset?: number;        // Line offset (for pagination)
+  limit?: number;         // Lines to read (for pagination)
+  // GJC extensions (missing in claw-code):
+  selector?: string;      // Line range syntax:
+                          // ":50" = line 50 onward
+                          // ":50-200" = lines 50-200 inclusive
+                          // ":50+150" = 150 lines starting at line 50
+                          // ":raw" = full file verbatim
+                          // ":conflicts" = git merge conflicts only
+  truncationDirection?: "head" | "tail" | "both";  // Which end to keep
+  maxSummaryBytes?: number;  // Summary budget (default 50KB)
+  maxSummaryLines?: number;  // Summary budget (default 20K lines)
+}
+```
+
+#### Output Structure
+```json
+{
+  "file": {
+    "path": "src/main.rs",
+    "content": "...",
+    "totalLines": 500,
+    "totalBytes": 12345,
+    "truncatedBy": "lines" | "bytes" | "middle" | null,
+    "displayMode": "summarized" | "raw" | "receipt"
+  },
+  "truncationFooter": "[Showing lines 1-50 of 500; re-read ...]"
+}
+```
+
+#### Key Behaviors
+
+1. **Line Range Selectors** (`:selector` syntax)
+   - `:50` = start at line 50
+   - `:50-200` = lines 50-200 inclusive
+   - `:50+150` = 150 lines starting at 50
+   - `:50+1` = exactly one line
+   - `:5-16,960-973` = multiple ranges
+   - `:raw` = full verbatim
+   - `:conflicts` = git merge conflicts
+
+2. **Truncation Modes**
+   - Default: 50KB bytes limit, 20K lines limit
+   - Direction: `head` (keep start), `tail` (keep end), `both` (keep both ends)
+   - Footer includes recovery hint (e.g., "`re-read path:1-9999` for verbatim")
+
+3. **Structural Summarization**
+   - Code: collapse function bodies to `..` or `…` (merged brace pairs)
+   - Prose: preserve full lines, truncate at word boundaries
+   - Special files: documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX) converted via markit
+
+4. **Archive Support**
+   - `.tar`, `.tar.gz`, `.tgz`, `.zip`: member read with `archive.ext:path/inside`
+   - SQLite: `.sqlite:table` or `.sqlite:table:key` queries
+   - Line ranges apply to archive members
+
+5. **Output Formatting**
+   - Anchored output: Line prefixes with source line numbers and hash anchors
+   - Optional hash lines: Marks structural boundaries (`# pragma`, function start, etc.)
+   - Prose column cap: Long lines wrapped/truncated at column limit
+
+### 2.2 EDIT Tool
+
+**Source**: `gajae-code/packages/coding-agent/src/tools/edit.ts`
+
+#### Input Schema
+```typescript
+{
+  path: string;           // File to edit
+  old_text: string;       // Text to replace (required for edit)
+  new_text: string;       // Replacement text
+  all?: boolean;          // Replace all occurrences (default: first only)
+}
+```
+
+#### Output Structure
+```json
+{
+  "file": {
+    "path": "src/main.rs",
+    "editCount": 1,
+    "beforeSize": 12345,
+    "afterSize": 12400
+  },
+  "patch": [
+    {
+      "type": "replace",
+      "lineStart": 50,
+      "lineEnd": 55,
+      "before": "old content",
+      "after": "new content",
+      "context": {"before": 3, "after": 3}
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+#### Key Behaviors
+
+1. **Exact Match Required**: `old_text` must match exactly (no fuzzy matching)
+2. **Smallest Replacement**: Use smallest unique old_text that identifies the change
+3. **All-or-Nothing**: Either all occurrences replaced or none (no partial)
+4. **Patch Metadata**: Line numbers, context, before/after preserved
+
+### 2.3 SEARCH Tool
+
+**Source**: `gajae-code/packages/coding-agent/src/tools/search.ts`
+
+#### Input Schema
+```typescript
+{
+  pattern: string;        // Regex pattern
+  paths?: string[];       // Files/dirs to search
+  context?: number;       // Context lines before/after (default: 2)
+  i?: boolean;            // Case-insensitive
+  glob_exclude?: string[];  // Patterns to skip
+  file_type?: string;     // Filter by extension
+  limit?: number;         // Max results
+  truncation?: "head" | "tail" | "both";
+}
+```
+
+#### Output Structure
+```json
+{
+  "matches": [
+    {
+      "file": "src/main.rs",
+      "lineNumber": 42,
+      "line": "fn process() {",
+      "before": ["// Process data", ""],
+      "after": ["  // Implementation", ""]
+    }
+  ],
+  "summary": "Found 5 matches in 3 files"
+}
+```
+
+### 2.4 FIND Tool
+
+**Source**: `gajae-code/packages/coding-agent/src/tools/find.ts`
+
+#### Input Schema
+```typescript
+{
+  paths: string[];        // Glob patterns
+  timeout?: number;       // Timeout in seconds (default: 5)
+  gitignore?: boolean;    // Respect .gitignore (default: true)
+  hidden?: boolean;       // Include hidden files (default: true)
+  limit?: number;         // Max results (default: 1000)
+}
+```
+
+#### Output Structure
+```json
+{
+  "files": [
+    {
+      "path": "src/main.rs",
+      "modified": "2026-10-13T12:34:56Z",
+      "size": 12345
+    }
+  ],
+  "summary": "Found 42 files matching pattern",
+  "truncated": false
+}
+```

+    path: &str,
+    offset: Option<usize>,     // Line offset only
+    limit: Option<usize>,      // Lines only
+    workspace_root: &Path,
+) -> io::Result<ReadFileOutput>
+```
+
+**Missing**:

+**Missing**:
+- ✗ Rich patch metadata (line numbers, context lines)
+
+**Estimated LOC to Add**: 200-300
+
+### 3.3 SEARCH Tool Gaps
+
+**File**: `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs` (grep search)
+
+**Current**: Basic regex with context  
+**Missing**:
+- ✗ Advanced filtering (file type, glob exclude)
+- ✗ Structured output format
+
+**Estimated LOC to Add**: 300-400
+
+### 3.4 FIND Tool Gaps
+
+**File**: `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs` (glob search)
+
+**Current**: Basic glob expansion  
+**Missing**:
+- ✗ Recursive globs
+- ✗ Gitignore filtering

+- ✗ File metadata
+
+**Estimated LOC to Add**: 200-300
+
+---
+
+## 4. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (BATCHED)
+
+### Batch 1: READ Tool (Priority P0)
+- Add line range selector parsing
+- Implement `:raw` mode
+- ✓ Implement `:conflicts` mode
+- Add truncation footers with recovery hints
+- Implement structural summarization
+- Add tests for all selector combinations
+
+**Files to Modify**:
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/file_ops.rs` (read_file_in_workspace)
+- `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs` (ReadFileInput struct)
+- Tests in both
+
+**Size Estimate**: 1,200 LOC  
+**Complexity**: Medium (string parsing, output formatting)
+
+### Batch 2: EDIT Tool (Priority P1)
+- Add patch metadata to output
+- Ensure exact match semantics
+- Add comprehensive tests
+
+**Files to Modify**:
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/file_ops.rs` (edit_file_in_workspace)
+- Tests
+
+**Size Estimate**: 200 LOC  
+**Complexity**: Low
+
+### Batch 3: SEARCH/FIND Tools (Priority P1)
+- Enhance grep/find with GJC-compatible filtering
+- Add structured output format
+- Add metadata (file type, modified time)
+
+**Files to Modify**:
+- `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs` (glob_search, grep_search)
+- `rust/crates/runtime/src/file_ops.rs`
+
+**Size Estimate**: 500 LOC  
+**Complexity**: Low-Medium
+
+---
+
+## 5. VERIFICATION STRATEGY
+
+Each batch will include:
+1. **Semantic Tests**: Verify tool inputs/outputs match GJC reference
+2. **Edge Case Tests**: Line ranges, truncation, archives, etc.
+3. **Integration Tests**: End-to-end with claw CLI
+4. **Parity Shadow Test**: Run same inputs against both GJC and claw-code, compare outputs
+
+---
+
+## 6. ROLLOUT SCHEDULE
+
+- **Batch 1 (READ)**: Week 1 - Enable most impactful tool first
+- **Batch 2 (EDIT)**: Week 1-2 - Quick follow-up
+- **Batch 3 (SEARCH/FIND)**: Week 2 - Lower priority but valuable for discoverability
