Reformat /compact output for both live and resumed sessions so compaction results are reported in the same structured console style as the rest of the CLI surface. This keeps the behavior unchanged while making skipped and successful compaction runs easier to read. Constraint: Compact output must stay faithful to the real compaction result and not imply summarization details beyond removed/kept message counts Rejected: Expose the generated summary body directly in /compact output | too noisy for a lightweight command-response surface Confidence: high Scope-risk: narrow Reversibility: clean Directive: Keep lifecycle and maintenance command output stylistically consistent as more slash commands reach parity Tested: cargo fmt --manifest-path ./rust/Cargo.toml --all; cargo clippy --manifest-path ./rust/Cargo.toml --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --manifest-path ./rust/Cargo.toml --workspace Not-tested: Manual terminal UX review of compact output on very large sessions
Rust port foundation
This directory contains the first compatibility-first Rust foundation for a drop-in Claude Code CLI replacement.
Current milestone
This initial milestone focuses on harness-first scaffolding, not full feature parity:
- a Cargo workspace aligned to major upstream seams
- a placeholder CLI crate (
rusty-claude-cli) - runtime, command, and tool registry skeleton crates
- a
compat-harnesscrate that reads the upstream TypeScript sources in../src/ - tests that prove upstream manifests/bootstrap hints can be extracted from the leaked TypeScript codebase

How to use
From this directory:
cargo fmt --all
cargo check --workspace
cargo test --workspace
cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --help
cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- dump-manifests
cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- bootstrap-plan
Design notes
The shape follows the PRD's harness-first recommendation:
- Extract observable upstream command/tool/bootstrap facts first.
- Keep Rust module boundaries recognizable.
- Grow runtime compatibility behind proof artifacts.
- Document explicit gaps instead of implying drop-in parity too early.
Relationship to the root README
The repository root README explains the leaked TypeScript codebase. This document tracks the Rust replacement effort that lives in rust/.
