Filing per gaebal-gajae's status summary at message 1491322807026454579
in #clawcode-building-in-public, with corrected scope after re-running
`cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli` against main HEAD (79da4b8): the 11
deterministic failures only reproduce on dev/rust, not main, so this is
a dev/rust catchup item rather than a main regression.
Two-layered root cause documented:
1. dev/rust `parse_args` eagerly validates user plugin hook scripts
exist on disk before returning a CliAction
2. dev/rust test harness does not redirect $HOME/XDG_CONFIG_HOME to a
fixture (no `env_lock` equivalent — main has 30+ env_lock hits, dev
has zero)
Together they make dev/rust `cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli` fail on
any clean clone whose owner has a half-installed user plugin in
~/.claude/plugins/installed/. main has both the env_lock test isolation
AND the parse_args/hook-validation decoupling already; dev/rust is just
behind on the merge train.
Action block in #27 spells out backporting env_lock + the parse_args
decoupling so the next dev/rust release picks this up.
Claw Code

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.
