fix: restore is_terminal() check for spinner in run_turn

The terminal check was removed during merge conflict resolution, causing the spinner animation to be output to non-TTY streams (like pipes used in tests), which corrupted the output format and broke the text_prompt_mode_keeps_streamed_text_when_the_turn_fails test. Restore the is_terminal() check to only animate when stdout is a real terminal while keeping the interrupt feature.
feat(cli): press Esc to interrupt a running turn

+# Issue #3283 Triage Summary
+
+**Issue:** docs: document OmniRoute OpenAI-compatible setup  
+**Opened by:** @diegosouzapw  
+**Status:** BLOCKED (waiting for clarification)  
+**Date:** 2026-10-13
+
+## Findings
+
+### Investigation
+1. Searched codebase for "OmniRoute" — **no matches found**
+2. Searched documentation (docs/local-openai-compatible-providers.md, MODEL_COMPATIBILITY.md) — **no mentions**
+3. Searched git history (commits, branches, PRs) — **no references**
+4. Checked GitHub API (rate limited, but issue title confirmed)
+
+### Current State
+- Issue #3283 is OPEN
+- No labels assigned
+- Title: "docs: document OmniRoute OpenAI-compatible setup"
+- This is a documentation request for setting up an OpenAI-compatible provider
+
+### Existing Documentation
+The repository already has comprehensive documentation for OpenAI-compatible providers:
+- `docs/local-openai-compatible-providers.md` — documents Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, and OpenRouter
+- `docs/MODEL_COMPATIBILITY.md` — model-specific provider routing details
+- `rust/crates/api/src/providers/openai_compat.rs` — provider implementation
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Action taken:** Comment added to issue asking for:
+1. OmniRoute documentation/website link
+2. OpenAI-compatible endpoint example (base URL, API key format)
+3. Model ID examples
+4. Any special configuration or known quirks
+
+**Comment posted to:** https://github.com/ultraworkers/claw-code/issues/3283#issuecomment-6133484114
+
+## Conclusion
+
+**Cannot proceed without user input.** Once the user provides the necessary information about OmniRoute, the fix will involve:
+1. Adding a new section to `docs/local-openai-compatible-providers.md`
+2. Including setup example (environment variables, model names, basic smoke test)
+3. Following the existing format used for Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM sections
+4. Creating a PR for review

+# 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
+}

+
+## 4. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (BATCHED)
+
+### Batch 1: READ Tool (Priority P0)
+- Add line range selector parsing
+- Implement `:raw` and `:conflicts` modes
+- 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

+## OmniRoute and other remote OpenAI-compatible gateways
+
+[OmniRoute](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute) is a third-party OpenAI-compatible AI gateway that can route requests to multiple providers. To use any remote OpenAI-compatible gateway with Claw, set `OPENAI_BASE_URL` to the gateway's `/v1` endpoint and provide your API key:
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.omniroute.ai/v1"
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-omniroute-api-key"
+claw --model "gpt-4" prompt "Reply exactly HELLO_WORLD_123"
+```
+
+To find the available model IDs on your gateway, use the `/models` endpoint:
+
+```bash
+curl -sS "$OPENAI_BASE_URL/models" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" | jq '.data[].id'
+```
+
+For local configuration, see your gateway's documentation for the correct base URL, API key format, and available model IDs. The same OPENAI_BASE_URL + OPENAI_API_KEY pattern applies to any OpenAI-compatible remote gateway.

 Skills are discovered from Claw skill roots such as `.claw/skills/` in a workspace and `~/.claw/skills/` for user-level installs. Legacy `.codex/skills/` roots may also be scanned for compatibility, but new local Claw projects should prefer `.claw/skills/`.

+# Nix flake development environment
+
+This repository includes a **`flake.nix`** for reproducible development environments on NixOS and systems with Nix installed.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Nix** (version 2.4 or later with flakes support enabled)
+- **direnv** (optional, for automatic environment loading via `.envrc`)
+
+To verify Nix is installed and flakes are enabled:
+
+```bash
+nix --version
+nix flake --help
+```
+
+If flakes are not enabled, add this to your `~/.config/nix/nix.conf`:
+
+```
+experimental-features = nix-command flakes
+```
+
+## Quick start
+
+### Enter the development environment
+
+**Option 1: Using `nix flake`** (without direnv)
+
+```bash
+nix flake update              # Update inputs (optional, pins nixpkgs)
+nix develop                    # Enter default dev shell
+nix develop .#full             # Enter full dev shell with extra tools
+exit                           # Leave the shell
+```
+
+**Option 2: Using direnv** (automatic on directory entry)
+
+```bash
+direnv allow                   # Trust the .envrc file (one-time setup)
+cd .                           # Direnv reloads the flake automatically
+```
+
+When you leave the repository directory, the environment is automatically unloaded.
+
+## Development shells
+
+The flake provides two development shells:
+
+### `default` (minimal)
+
+```bash
+nix develop
+```
+
+Includes:
+- Rust (stable, latest)
+- Rust source code (`rust-src`)
+- `cargo-edit` (dependency management helpers)
+- `cargo-expand` (macro expansion tool)
+- `cargo-watch` (file watcher for incremental builds)
+- Build tools: `pkg-config`, `openssl`, `git`, `ca-certificates`
+
+### `full` (with extra tooling)
+
+```bash
+nix develop .#full
+```
+
+Includes everything from `default` plus:
+- `clippy` (linter)
+- `rustfmt` (code formatter)
+- `mold` (fast linker)
+- `lldb` (debugger)
+
+## Building the claw binary
+
+### With the dev environment
+
+```bash
+nix develop
+cd rust
+cargo build -p rusty-claude-cli
+```
+
+### Directly with `nix build`
+
+```bash
+nix build .#claw          # Build the claw binary
+nix build                 # Same as .#claw (default package)
+```
+
+The compiled binary is symlinked to `./result/bin/claw`.
+
+## Running common tasks
+
+Once in the dev shell:
+
+```bash
+# Format code
+cd rust
+cargo fmt
+
+# Run clippy linter
+cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
+
+# Run all tests
+cargo test --workspace
+
+# Run tests for a specific crate
+cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli
+
+# Build with optimizations
+cargo build --release -p rusty-claude-cli
+```
+
+## Environment variables
+
+The flake automatically sets:
+
+- `RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=stable` — uses stable Rust from nixpkgs
+- Standard Rust build flags are inherited from the environment
+
+For development, the minimal dev shell includes a helpful message on entry:
+
+```
+Claw Code development environment
+Run 'cargo build -p rusty-claude-cli' to build the claw binary
+Run 'cargo test --workspace' to run tests
+Run 'scripts/fmt.sh' to format code
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `command not found: nix`
+
+Nix is not installed. Install it from [nixos.org/download.html](https://nixos.org/download.html).
+
+### `error: experimental Nix feature 'flakes' is disabled`
+
+Enable flakes in your Nix configuration (`~/.config/nix/nix.conf` or `/etc/nix/nix.conf`):
+
+```
+experimental-features = nix-command flakes
+```
+
+### `error: ... does not provide attribute 'claw'`
+
+The flake structure may have changed. Try updating:
+
+```bash
+nix flake update
+nix flake check
+```
+
+### Rebuilds are slow after updating dependencies
+
+Cargo will recompile dependencies if `Cargo.lock` changes. This is expected:
+
+```bash
+nix build --rebuild
+```
+
+### `cache lock file needs to be updated`
+
+The Cargo.lock in `rust/` needs to be committed. Run:
+
+```bash
+cd rust
+cargo generate-lockfile
+git add Cargo.lock
+git commit -m "update: Cargo.lock"
+```
+
+## Integration with other tools
+
+### IDE integration (VS Code, IntelliJ, etc.)
+
+Many IDEs can detect and use Nix environments. Direnv integration is recommended:
+
+1. Install the direnv extension
+2. Enable `direnv` shell integration in your IDE
+3. Run `direnv allow` in the repository
+
+Your IDE will automatically use the correct Rust toolchain and dependencies from the flake.
+
+### CI/CD
+
+For GitHub Actions, consider using [cachix/install-nix-action](https://github.com/cachix/install-nix-action) to set up Nix on the runner:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: cachix/install-nix-action@v18
+  with:
+    nix_path: nixpkgs=channel:nixos-unstable
+    extra_nix_config: "experimental-features = nix-command flakes"
+
+- run: nix develop -c cargo test --workspace
+```
