Improve resumed-session parity by letting top-level --resume execute shared read-only commands such as /help, /status, /cost, /config, and /memory in addition to /compact. This makes saved sessions meaningfully inspectable without reopening the interactive REPL.
Also add a genuinely useful /memory command that reports the Claude instruction memory already discovered by the runtime from CLAUDE.md-style files in the current directory ancestry. The command stays honest by surfacing file paths, line counts, and a short preview instead of inventing unsupported persistent memory behavior.
Constraint: Resume-path improvements must operate safely on saved sessions without requiring a live model runtime
Constraint: /memory must expose real repository instruction context rather than placeholder state
Rejected: Invent editable or persistent chat memory storage | no such durable feature exists in this repo yet
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Reuse shared slash parsing for resume-path features so saved-session commands and REPL commands stay aligned
Tested: cargo fmt; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace
Not-tested: manual resume against a diverse set of historical session files from real user workflows
Add in-REPL session restoration and read-only config inspection so the CLI can recover saved conversations and expose Claude settings without leaving interactive mode. /resume now reloads a session file into the live runtime, and /config shows discovered settings files plus the merged effective JSON.
The new commands stay on the shared slash-command surface and rebuild runtime state using the current model, system prompt, and permission mode so existing REPL behavior remains stable.
Constraint: /resume must update the live REPL session rather than only supporting top-level --resume
Constraint: /config should inspect existing settings without mutating user files
Rejected: Add editable /config writes in this slice | read-only inspection is safer and sufficient for immediate parity work
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep resume/config behavior on the shared slash command surface so non-REPL entrypoints can reuse it later
Tested: cargo fmt; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace
Not-tested: manual interactive restore against real saved session files outside automated fixtures
Expand the shared slash registry and REPL dispatcher with real session-management commands so the CLI feels closer to Claude Code during interactive use. /permissions now reports or switches the active permission mode, /clear rebuilds a fresh local session without restarting the process, and /cost reports cumulative token usage honestly from the runtime tracker.
The implementation keeps command parsing centralized in the commands crate and preserves the existing prompt-mode path while rebuilding runtime state safely when commands change session configuration.
Constraint: Commands must be genuinely useful local behavior rather than placeholders
Constraint: Preserve REPL continuity when changing permissions or clearing session state
Rejected: Store permission-mode changes only in environment variables | would not update the live runtime for the current session
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep future stateful slash commands rebuilding from current session + system prompt instead of mutating hidden runtime internals
Tested: cargo fmt; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace
Not-tested: manual live API session exercising permission changes mid-conversation
Centralize slash command parsing in the commands crate so the REPL can share help metadata and grow toward Claude Code parity without duplicating handlers. This adds shared /help and /model parsing, routes REPL dispatch through the shared parser, and upgrades /status to report model and token totals.
To satisfy the required verification gate, this also fixes existing workspace clippy and test blockers in runtime, tools, api, and compat-harness that were unrelated to the new command behavior but prevented fmt/clippy/test from passing cleanly.
Constraint: Preserve existing prompt-mode and REPL behavior while adding real slash commands
Constraint: cargo fmt, clippy, and workspace tests must pass before shipping command-surface work
Rejected: Keep command handling only in main.rs | would deepen duplication with commands crate and resume path
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Extend new slash commands through the shared commands crate first so REPL and resume entrypoints stay consistent
Tested: cargo fmt; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace
Not-tested: live Anthropic network execution beyond existing mocked/integration coverage
Wire the CLI to the Anthropic client, runtime conversation loop, and MVP in-tree tool executor so prompt mode and the default REPL both execute real turns instead of scaffold-only commands.
Constraint: Proxy auth uses ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN as the primary x-api-key source and may stream extra usage fields
Constraint: Must preserve existing scaffold commands while enabling real prompt and REPL flows
Rejected: Keep prompt mode on the old scaffold path | does not satisfy end-to-end CLI requirement
Rejected: Depend solely on raw SSE message_stop from proxy | proxy/event differences required tolerant parsing plus fallback handling
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep prompt mode tool-free unless the one-shot path is explicitly expanded and reverified against the proxy
Tested: cargo test -p api; cargo test -p tools; cargo test -p runtime; cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli; cargo build; cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- prompt "say hello"; printf '/quit\n' | cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli --
Not-tested: Full interactive tool_use roundtrip against the proxy in REPL mode
