Adds TEST.md Scenario Q (the context-rot guard) and run_doctor coverage in Scenario B; rewrites M4's bucket-branch case against a fixture transcript; updates README/SECURITY/ CHANGELOG and .github/smoke.sh accordingly. --- .github/smoke.sh | 59 +++++++++++ CHANGELOG.md | 10 ++ README.md | 25 +++-- SECURITY.md | 2 - TEST.md | 270 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- claudezero.sh | 164 +++++++++++++++++++--------- todo.md | 2 +- 7 files changed, 451 insertions(+), 81 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/smoke.sh b/.github/smoke.sh index 82a0ed3..b36597d 100755 --- a/.github/smoke.sh +++ b/.github/smoke.sh @@ -117,4 +117,63 @@ ln -s "$tmp/nowhere" "$tmp/dangling" || fail "ln -s to a missing targ if [ -e "$tmp/dangling" ]; then fail "-e followed a dangling link (guard would misfire)"; fi ok "ln -s / -L / -e guard" +# 10. context-rot guard's field extraction / threshold resolution (claudezero.sh's Stop hook). +# `grep -noE` feeds short per-field `LINE:"key":value` lines into the table-matcher awk — never +# the raw record — so this exercises: ENVIRON[] escapes surviving intact (a `-v` hand-off would +# expand `\[1m\]` into the character class `[1m]`, matching bare "1"/"m"); dynamic regex matching +# a version-suffixed family id while a word-suffix tier ("-mini") falls through to the default +# (split(s,a," ") whitespace-run parsing, blank table lines dropped, exercised via CZ_TABLE's own +# leading/trailing blank lines below); and match-based field extraction surviving a `tail -c` cut +# that lands mid-JSON, dropping `model` while the `usage` object (which trails it) survives. +CZT=' + \[1m\] 200000 + claude-fable-5(-[0-9]|[^A-Za-z0-9-]) 200000 +' +guard_verdict() { # $1 = raw bytes: a JSONL record, or a `tail -c`-cropped fragment of one + printf '%s' "$1" \ + | grep -noE '"model":"[^"]*"|"input_tokens":[0-9]+|"cache_read_input_tokens":[0-9]+|"cache_creation_input_tokens":[0-9]+|"output_tokens":[0-9]+' \ + | CZ_TABLE="$CZT" CZ_DEFAULT=160000 awk ' + BEGIN { + def = ENVIRON["CZ_DEFAULT"] + 0 + n = split(ENVIRON["CZ_TABLE"], tln, "\n") + for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) { + if (split(tln[i], f, " ") < 2) continue + tn++; pat[tn] = f[1]; thr[tn] = f[2] + 0 + } + } + { + if (!match($0, /^[0-9]+:/)) next + L = substr($0, 1, RLENGTH - 1); rest = substr($0, RLENGTH + 1) + if (!match(rest, /^"[a-zA-Z_]+":/)) next + key = substr(rest, 2, RLENGTH - 3); val = substr(rest, RLENGTH + 1) + if ((L, key) in seen) next + seen[L, key] = 1 + if (key == "model") { sub(/^"/, "", val); sub(/"$/, "", val); mdl[L] = val; next } + if (key == "output_tokens") { saw_out[L] = 1; next } + tot[L] += val + 0 + } + END { + best = "" + for (L in saw_out) { if ((tot[L]+0) > 0 && (best == "" || (L+0) > (best+0))) best = L } + if (best == "") { print 0; exit } + id = mdl[best] " " + th = def + for (i = 1; i <= tn; i++) { if (id ~ pat[i]) { th = thr[i]; break } } + print (((tot[best]+0) >= th) ? 1 : 0) + }' +} + +REC_MINI='{"model":"claude-fable-5-mini","input_tokens":9000,"cache_read_input_tokens":170000,"cache_creation_input_tokens":1000,"output_tokens":500}' +[ "$(guard_verdict "$REC_MINI")" = 1 ] || fail "claude-fable-5-mini at 180000: default (160000) should fire; a -v hand-off would corrupt \\[1m\\] into a class matching mini's 'm' and wrongly give 0" + +REC_VER='{"model":"claude-fable-5-20260115-v1:0","input_tokens":9000,"cache_read_input_tokens":170000,"cache_creation_input_tokens":1000,"output_tokens":500}' +[ "$(guard_verdict "$REC_VER")" = 0 ] || fail "claude-fable-5-20260115-v1:0 at 180000 should keep the family row (200000), not the default" + +REC_FULL='{"model":"claude-fable-5","content":"PADDING","input_tokens":9000,"cache_read_input_tokens":170000,"cache_creation_input_tokens":1000,"output_tokens":500}' +[ "$(guard_verdict "$REC_FULL")" = 0 ] || fail "uncropped record should resolve its family row" +cropped="$(printf '%s' "$REC_FULL" | tail -c 110)" +[ "$(guard_verdict "$cropped")" = 1 ] || fail "a tail -c cut mid-JSON that drops 'model' should degrade to the default, not stay unmatched" + +ok "context-rot guard: grep -n -o extraction, ENVIRON[] escapes, dynamic regex, tail -c mid-JSON cut" + echo "SMOKE PASS ($(uname -s), bash $BASH_VERSION)" diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 2ece436..872d5b6 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -4,6 +4,16 @@ All notable changes to ClaudeZero are documented here.

ClaudeZero's own Stop hook records each session's `transcript_path` (a field of the hook payload), and reads it twice, for two different readers. The **context-rot guard** (below) reads the newest usage record on every turn to decide whether to restart. The **token report**, after `claude` exits, reads the whole transcript and sums the `message.usage` fields of every assistant line: `input_tokens`, `output_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`, `cache_read_input_tokens` — the four categories Anthropic bills separately. One API request is written as several transcript lines, one per content block, each repeating the same `usage` object verbatim, so the token report **dedupes by the line's `requestId`** — a rule that belongs to the token report alone, since the context-rot guard keeps only the latest record regardless of request. Both readers take only the first (parent) match of each field name on a line: `usage.iterations[]` repeats all four names one level down, and `usage.cache_creation` carries the `ephemeral_5m`/`ephemeral_1h` leaves that already sum into the parent. Transcripts are only ever read, and no schema change can fail a run — any parse miss on the token report prints `Tokens: n/a`, and any parse miss on the context-rot guard leaves the session running; either way the run continues. Two limits: **subagent tokens are invisible** — a session that used the Agent tool writes no `isSidechain` usage lines, so anything the task prompt spawns is missing from the totals, and the size of the under-count is not measurable from inside; and the figures are **per instance run, for this repo only**, unlike whole-machine tools such as `ccusage`, whose denominator is every Claude Code session on the box. @@ -244,6 +238,19 @@ CLAUDEZERO_DEPENDENCY_WAIT=20m claudezero todo.md CLAUDEZERO_LINK=issues claudezero todo.md ``` +### Context rot + +The session Stop hook computes its own restart signal — no environment variable, no runtime override.

ClaudeZero's answer is amnesia by design, durable external state carrying what mattered forward (see [Closing the loop](#closing-the-loop)).

K1 now waits for the claude process to exist before sending TERM; P1/P2 now wait for the no-claim-mark marker before flipping/killing their peer.

Capture via K1RC=0; wait "$WPID" || K1RC=$?, same idiom Scenario B already uses. P1/P2's flipper/killer polled for the no-claim-mark file's existence, but that file is written almost instantly (the stub claude's first action) — long before the shell's fixed RESTART_WAIT elapses and it actually calls wait_for_dependency_clear(). Confirmed by experiment: retarget the poll to the 'now blocked' log line, the real signal that the shell has entered the wait, and P1/P2/P4 pass cleanly instead of racing the flip in before the wait state is ever reached. --- TEST.md | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/TEST.md b/TEST.md index e8b6451..985c0f9 100644 --- a/TEST.md +++ b/TEST.md @@ -1193,8 +1193,8 @@ i=0; while ! pgrep -f "$TK/bin/claude" >/dev/null 2>&1 && [ "$i" -lt 175 ]; do s kill -TERM "$WPID" 2>/dev/null i=0; while kill -0 "$WPID" 2>/dev/null && [ "$i" -lt 100 ]; do sleep 0.2; i=$((i+1)); done kill -0 "$WPID" 2>/dev/null && kill -KILL "$WPID" 2>/dev/null -wait "$WPID" -echo "K1 exit : $?
