* refactor: consolidate coercion ownership
Centralize four canonical coercion helpers, migrate exact core and plugin duplicates through narrow Plugin SDK facades, and enforce declaration and plugin-normalization ownership boundaries.
The sweep adds eight focused SDK exports while deleting more production and tooling code than it adds. User-visible behavior is unchanged except for safer equivalent object and UI parsing at existing boundaries.
* fix: guard integer option ownership
Register resolveIntegerOption with the canonical function owner and extend the declaration-guard fixture so future local duplicates fail validation.
* fix: keep integer helpers on numeric facade
Remove the unshipped duplicate string-coerce exports and route every affected plugin consumer through the existing number-runtime contract.
* fix: point numeric coercion to number runtime
Make boundary and declaration diagnostics recommend the canonical numeric facade, with failing-before coverage for both guidance paths.
* feat(memory): add provenance and recall metadata to the memory index
* feat(memory): provenance-gated promotion and capture hygiene
* feat(dreaming): LLM consolidation with deterministic gates, on by default
* feat(active-memory): deterministic recall lane with escalation default
* feat(memory): user model file and standing intents
* docs(memory): document the memory architecture
* fix(memory): live-QA fixes — metadata writers, provenance classes, intent scope, claim accumulation
Embedded runs targeting a CLI runtime provider fall through to the openclaw
harness and call the provider API directly with the runtime's credentials
(cli_runtime_passthrough_openclaw). Anthropic routes direct anthropic-messages
calls on subscription OAuth tokens to metered extra-usage billing — this is
long-standing behavior, not a recent change. Without extra-usage balance,
every such run (e.g. active-memory recall) fails with a billing error; with
extra-usage enabled, the run silently draws paid metered usage instead of the
plan limits the CLI runtime was configured for. Only CLI-backed execution
runs on plan limits for those credentials.
Add an opt-in RunEmbeddedAgentParams.cliBackendDispatch: "subscription-auth"
that dispatches the run through runCliAgent as a one-shot turn when the
provider is claude-cli, a CLI backend is registered, and the ordered auth
profile selection for the passthrough resolves to a subscription (oauth/token)
credential or nothing rather than an API key; resolution stays on stored
credential metadata, with no credential materialization or refresh on the
per-turn path. The dispatch translates toolsAllow into the selectable-backend
surface (native: [], allowlisted loopback MCP tools; wildcard allowlists stay
MCP-only), runs with a fresh CLI process (no live-session reuse; session-
scoped bundle-MCP retirement on run end rather than the process-wide loopback
close), bridges CLI tool result events to onAgentToolResult with native-path
semantics (normalizeToolName + isToolResultError), and drops CLI session
bindings from the result.
The selectable-backend MCP list now also bounds the loopback MCP grant
server-side: the grant carries a per-run gateway tool allowlist enforced in
scoped tool resolution, so tools outside the run's allowlist can be neither
listed nor called even under CLI bypass permission modes where
--allowedTools is advisory.
active-memory recall opts in so recall works on claude-cli subscription-only
instances and stops drawing metered extra usage where it previously could.
Scoped to claude-cli; other CLI runtimes keep the passthrough until their
direct-API contract is verified.
The dispatch also mirrors the run into the run's session transcript through the session
accessor (user turn, tool call/result records as they stream, final assistant
snapshot at run end) so transcript consumers keep parity with embedded runs:
active-memory's persistTranscripts, timeout partial-text salvage, and the
live terminal-search watcher that polls the session file mid-run.
Post-review hardening: canonical anthropic/<model> refs whose configured
agentRuntime is claude-cli resolve through the runtime policy before the
dispatch gate (they previously stayed on the failing passthrough); restricted
dispatches serve an exclusive loopback-only MCP bundle so user/plugin MCP
servers stay outside the run's tool universe; and the transcript recorder
flushes the latest assistant snapshot the moment the run aborts, so timeout
salvage sees partial text even while the killed CLI child is still settling.
Recalls routed to the claude-cli runtime default to a 45s budget (measured
CLI-dispatched runs take 14-20s, over the plain 15s default); explicit
timeoutMs config always wins.
Transcript mirror keeps bare-array tool_result content (claude stream-json
echoes MCP results without a {content} wrapper); dropping it classified every
successful recall as no_relevant_memory.
CLI dispatch resolves inside session/global lane admission so dispatched
runs obey the same lifecycle, placement, and concurrency gates as native
embedded runs.
LOC-ratchet offsets move the loopback grant-context builders to
cli-runner/mcp-grant-context.ts and dedupe the run/prep stage-summary
emitters into attempt-stage-timing.ts; unused type exports dropped and the
now-used stream-message baseline entry removed.
The recall timeout default now consumes the runner's own dispatch
eligibility through a new plugin-runtime seam
(agent.resolveCliBackendDispatchEligibility): API-key and missing-backend
routes keep the passthrough and its plain 15s default.
Eligibility honors an explicitly pinned authProfileId (the credential the
run executes on) before ordered profile selection, in both directions.
Transcript mirror composes buildAssistantMessage + buildUsageWithNoCost
directly; main trimmed the zero-usage wrapper export (ab0ccc244b) before
this branch's usage landed.
Dispatch eligibility is provider-owned: the anthropic plugin's claude-cli
backend declares CliBackendPlugin.subscriptionAuthDispatch and core reads
the registered descriptor instead of a core provider allowlist.
Dispatch fails closed on tool policy (only non-empty named allowlists are
expressible on the CLI surface; deny-all, wildcards, absent allowlists, and
disableTools/modelRun keep the passthrough), threads the pinned
authProfileId into CLI runtime resolution, and emits onExecutionStarted at
the admitted dispatch boundary.
