fix(server): re-resolve -p spawn OAuth token per-spawn, expiry-aware (③ regression)

The FIX-③ spawn-home isolation memoized the OAuth token at startup. The macOS
keychain access token rotates (~hourly, refreshed by the operator's real claude),
so the startup snapshot went stale and every isolated -p spawn returned upstream
401 'Invalid authentication credentials' — a ~31h Mac-mini outage (PI231/oracle use
static long-lived env tokens, unaffected).

Fix: getSpawnHomeMode() now caches only the isolation DECISION; the token is
re-resolved FRESH per spawn via resolveSpawnToken(), which also returns null when a
known expiry has passed (5-min buffer) so the caller falls back to real HOME — where
the spawned claude refreshes the credential natively and self-heals. OCP still never
refreshes the token itself (a refresh-token grant would consume the single-use token
and log out the operator's real claude — issue #112). Env-token hosts carry no
expiresAt and are never expiry-gated. Infra/process change; no cli.js surface, no new
endpoint/header. 238 tests pass; live-verified sonnet 200 on a temp instance.

 # Changelog
 
+## v3.21.0 — 2026-06-25
+
+Cleanup + docs release: TUI dead-code removal, docs honesty, and release prep. No new `cli.js` wire behavior; the default path (`CLAUDE_TUI_MODE` unset) is byte-for-byte unchanged.
+
+### TUI dead-code / footgun cleanup
+
+- **A1 — removed inert entrypoint-env path** (`lib/tui/session.mjs`): deleted `resolveTuiEntrypointEnv()` and the redundant env-strip block in `runTuiTurn`. The `{env}` object passed to `spawnSync` (tmux itself) was the wrong target — tmux does NOT forward the spawning process's environment to the pane; the pane's `claude` gets its env exclusively from the `env` prefix string built inside `buildTuiCmd` (verified live 2026-06-01). The spawnSync env is now intentionally minimal (`HOME` only). Behavior is unchanged: `buildTuiCmd` already handled all claude-specific env vars via its prefix string.
+- **A2 — removed test-only transcript helpers** (`lib/tui/transcript.mjs`): deleted `encodeCwd()` and `transcriptPath()` exports and the tests that pinned them. Production resolves transcripts exclusively via `findTranscriptPath()` (glob by session-id), which is immune to the exact path-encoding rule. No non-test importers existed (grep confirms). A `// TODO` comment near `findTranscriptPath()` notes that a CI fixture-contract test would make claude-schema drift fail loudly.
+- **A3 — removed headless-unusable `--dangerously-skip-permissions` branch** (`lib/tui/session.mjs` + `README.md`): `OCP_TUI_FULL_TOOLS=1` now always takes the `--allowedTools` path. The removed branch pushed `--dangerously-skip-permissions` when `CLAUDE_SKIP_PERMISSIONS=true`; on claude v2.1.x this triggers an interactive bypass-acceptance screen that a headless tmux pane cannot answer → the turn hangs to the wallclock cap and bricks the pane. The working path is `--allowedTools` + scratch-home `settings.json` `additionalDirectories`. `CLAUDE_SKIP_PERMISSIONS` for the `-p` path is unchanged (still used in `server.mjs`).
+
+### Docs
+
+- **Client-tools boundary** (README `§ How It Works`): OCP is a text-prompt bridge only — it does not pass OpenAI `tools`/`functions` or Anthropic `tool_use` blocks to the client. Clients receive assistant TEXT only; client-local tool execution is not supported by design (bypassing `cli.js` = out of scope per `ALIGNMENT.md`).
+- **ToS honesty** (README `§ Deployment model & security`): pooling one Claude subscription across multiple distinct people may violate Anthropic's Consumer ToS and risk account suspension by the abuse classifier. The defensible framing is "one person, your own devices" — friends/team sharing is not. The prior language ("account terms are your call") was accurate but understated the risk.
+- **"Why OCP" posture** (README `§ Why OCP?`): new bullet making explicit that OCP drives the official `claude` CLI as-is — no OAuth token extraction, no binary patching, no protocol invention — so traffic looks like genuine Claude Code (`cc_entrypoint=cli`).
+- **Promotion plan** (`docs/PROMOTION.md`): "stable & visible" strategy covering goal (polish + low-key OSS visibility, NOT growth-hacking given the live ToS/billing risk), pre-requisites (stability first), honest ToS disclosure requirement, items explicitly skipped (multi-backend routing → OLP; gateway model-discovery; raw API passthrough → ALIGNMENT.md scope), TUI toggle as billing-split insurance, and low-key visibility actions. Framed as a recommendation for the maintainer to review, not a committed plan.
+
+### Previously shipped (v3.20.x) — documented here for completeness
+
+- **Default `-p` spawn-home isolation** (v3.20.0 / PR-A): per-request `claude` spawns run in a credential-free minimal scratch HOME (`$HOME/.ocp/spawn-home`, no `.credentials.json`/`settings.json`/plugins) with a neutral cwd and the env token, cutting per-request latency (measured ~10–28s → ~3–7s). Kill-switch: `OCP_SPAWN_REAL_HOME=1`. Active mode shown at startup and on `/health.spawn`.
+- **Bounded concurrency wait-queue** (v3.20.0 / PR-B): excess `-p` requests queue (up to `CLAUDE_MAX_QUEUE`, default 16) instead of being rejected; a full queue returns `HTTP 429` + `Retry-After` (not an opaque 500). New env vars: `CLAUDE_MAX_QUEUE`, `CLAUDE_QUEUE_RETRY_AFTER`. Surfaced on `/health.concurrency` + `/health.stats.queueRejections`.
+- **`ocp restart`** macOS `bootout`+`bootstrap` (v3.20.0 / PR-B): safe restart command that forces launchd to re-read the plist (unlike `kickstart -k` which reuses the cached env).
+- **`/ocp` plugin OpenClaw-2026.5.27 compat** (v3.20.0 / PR-C): gateway plugin updated for the current OpenClaw API version.
+
+## v3.20.1 — 2026-06-13
+
+TUI-mode auth hardening: fixes the recurring `Please run /login · API Error: 401` (the PI231 incident) and reaps leaked defunct `claude` sessions. ([#141](https://github.com/dtzp555-max/ocp/pull/141))
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **TUI 401 / credential corruption (#141)** — interactive `claude` prefers `~/.claude/.credentials.json` over the `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` env var (unlike `-p` mode, where the env token wins). OCP TUI's per-request spawn + `kill-session` cycle raced claude's single-use refresh-token rotation, corrupting the refresh token to an empty string → permanent 401 that `claude /login` couldn't fix (each new spawn re-corrupted it). This bit Linux/file-based hosts specifically (macOS reads credentials from the Keychain, so Mac mini was immune). **Fix:** when `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` is set, the TUI claude now runs in a credential-free scratch HOME (`<HOME>/.ocp-tui/home`, overridable by `OCP_TUI_HOME`) seeded with onboarding + cwd-trust but **no `.credentials.json`**, so the env token is the only credential and claude never runs the refresh path. Recurrence-proof — a later `claude login` can no longer break TUI. Also: `buildTuiCmd` passes `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` to the spawn, and `reapStaleTuiSessions` reaps defunct `claude` sessions (tmux-server-owned zombies) via `kill-server` when no foreign session remains, plus a 15-min idle-gated periodic reap. When the env token is unset, behaviour is byte-for-byte unchanged (real-home + credentials.json). Two independent fresh-context reviewers (Iron Rule 10) + a live PI231 portability test (works with a corrupt credentials.json present). Authorized by the ADR 0007 PR-D amendment (Class B).
+
+### Environment variables
+
+- `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` — when set on a TUI host, TUI authenticates via this long-lived token in a credential-isolated home (recommended; immune to credentials.json corruption).
+- `OCP_TUI_HOME` — overrides the TUI scratch home; if you previously pointed it at your real home, unset it to get the credential-isolated default.
+
+## v3.20.0 — 2026-06-10
+
+TUI-mode billing-safety hardening for the 2026-06-15 Anthropic billing split. A 5-dimension multi-agent audit (adversarial verification + live tests on all three hosts — PI231 / Oracle / Mac mini, claude 2.1.104 / 2.1.114 / 2.1.170) found the TUI subscription-pool path could silently bill the metered Agent SDK pool or poison the cache under realistic failure modes. Three PRs, each with a fresh-context reviewer (Iron Rule 10) and CI; the default path (`CLAUDE_TUI_MODE` unset) is byte-for-byte unchanged.
+
+### TUI — honesty & cache correctness (#137)
+
+- **C-1** — `callClaudeTui` now throws on a claude-CLI auth-failure banner (e.g. `Please run /login · API Error: 401 …`, `Failed to authenticate. API Error: 401 …`) instead of returning it as a real answer, so it is never cached, singleflight-shared, or counted as a model success. Conservative detector (whole trimmed text ≤100 chars + `API Error: 4xx` + auth keyword + no code/quote char); overridable via `CLAUDE_TUI_ERROR_PATTERNS`. Live-reproduced on PI231.
+- **C-2** — `readTuiTranscript` distinguishes a complete turn from a wallclock-truncated partial (`truncated` flag); `callClaudeTui` throws `tui_wallclock_truncated` so a partial is never cached or counted as success.
+- **C-3** — `verifyEntrypoint` reads the `entrypoint` field from any transcript line, not just `{system, turn_duration}` — some claude builds emit zero turn_duration lines (live-confirmed on Oracle's claude 2.1.114), which previously left the billing-drift assertion blind on those builds.
+- **C-4 (paste)** — short prompts (e.g. `hi`) could never pass paste-landing detection; threshold lowered. Live-reproduced on PI231.
+
+### TUI — concurrency & observability (#139)
+
+- **Concurrency** — `OCP_TUI_MAX_CONCURRENT` (default 2) bounds concurrent interactive `claude` boots via a queuing semaphore (`lib/tui/semaphore.mjs`); the slot is released on throw so honesty-gate / spawn failures never leak it; bounded wait-queue → `tui_queue_full` (503). Independent of the global `MAX_CONCURRENT` (8) — a TUI turn is a heavy per-request cold-boot of tmux+claude + up to 120s wallclock.
+- **Observability** — additive `/health` `tui` block (`enabled` / `entrypointMode` / `lastEntrypoint` / `entrypointMismatches` / `inflight` / `maxConcurrent`) so an operator can poll for a silent `sdk-cli` metered-pool drift (the audit's top risk) instead of grepping journald. Authorized by the ADR 0007 PR-B amendment under the ALIGNMENT grandfather provision (additive, behaviour-preserving — every pre-existing `/health` field unchanged).
+
+### Operations (#138)
+
+- `docs/runbooks/615-canary.md` — the 2026-06-15 credit-balance canary: quiesce, read the Agent SDK credit balance (manual — no programmatic API exists for that pool; OCP's `/usage` headers are subscription rate-limit data, not the credit pool), one TUI canary turn, confirm `entrypoint:cli` in the transcript, green/red decision tree, periodic auto-mode self-classification mini-canary.
+- `docs/runbooks/tui-flip-rollback.md` — flip/rollback per deployment (systemd `daemon-reload`; launchd `bootout`/`bootstrap`, not `kickstart -k`).
+- `setup.mjs` auth quick-test gated behind `OCP_SKIP_AUTH_TEST=1` (the `claude -p` probe draws from the metered Agent SDK pool after 6/15).
+
+### New environment variables
+
+- `OCP_TUI_MAX_CONCURRENT` — max concurrent interactive TUI turns (default 2) (#139).
+- `OCP_SKIP_AUTH_TEST` — skip the `claude -p` auth probe in `setup.mjs` (default off) (#138).
+
+## v3.19.0 — 2026-06-02
+
+TUI-mode reliability + proxy-purity release. Two fixes diagnosed and verified live on both test hosts (PI231 / Oracle, claude 2.1.104 / 2.1.114), each its own PR with a fresh-context reviewer (Iron Rule 10), then an adversarial multi-host test battery (0 hangs / 0 crashes / 0 injection / 0 leaks). The default path (`CLAUDE_TUI_MODE` unset) is byte-for-byte unchanged.
+
+### TUI
+
+- **#130** — Fixed the "stuck typing" hang on large multi-line prompts. Three root causes: (1) terminal-turn detection only recognized `{system, turn_duration}`, which older claude builds (e.g. 2.1.114) don't emit → the reader ran to the wallclock and returned partial text; now also accepts an `assistant` line with a final `stop_reason` (`end_turn`/`stop_sequence`/`max_tokens`), while `tool_use` stays non-terminal. (2) Large prompts pasted via `send-keys -l` delivered embedded newlines as separate Enter events → the prompt never landed; now uses `tmux load-buffer` + `paste-buffer -p` (bracketed paste, atomic). (3) The paste-landed check false-positived on claude's empty curly-quote placeholder → Enter fired into an empty box; now positive-signal-only (`[Pasted text]` / prompt text) with a readiness/paste-verify poll + fast-fail (deterministic ~5s error instead of a 120s wallclock hang).
+- **#4** — TUI-mode never injects the host's `CLAUDE.md` / auto-memory into proxied turns. OCP is a proxy: the proxied client (OpenClaw / an IDE) owns its own context and memory. `buildTuiCmd` now always sets `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CLAUDE_MDS` + `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY` (unconditional — proxy purity is not an opt-in). Verified live with a marker `CLAUDE.md`: obeyed by the proxied turn before the fix, blocked after, on both hosts. Residual host-context vectors (managed-policy / `settings.json` / output-styles) tracked in #133. The env is delivered via an `env`-prefix on the tmux pane command (tmux does not forward the spawning process's environment, and `new-session -e` requires tmux ≥3.2 while the cloud host runs 2.7).
+
 ## v3.18.0 — 2026-06-01
 
 Hardening release from a multi-agent code audit (1 P0 + 14 P2 + 2 P3 findings, each adversarially verified and independently reviewed) plus three follow-ups (#123–#125). Every change shipped as its own PR with a fresh-context reviewer (Iron Rule 10). The single-user default path (`AUTH_MODE=none`, no TUI) is behavior-identical **except** the `/health` change in #109.

+### Client-tools boundary

+OCP is a **text-prompt bridge** to the official `claude` CLI. It does **not** pass through OpenAI `tools`/`functions` payloads or Anthropic `tool_use` blocks to the client. Clients (Cline, Cursor, OpenClaw, etc.) pointed at OCP receive **assistant TEXT only** — they never get `tool_calls` to execute locally.

+Any tool use happens server-side, under the `--allowedTools` set configured on the OCP host. In default mode (no `CLAUDE_NO_CONTEXT`), the `claude` CLI's own built-in tools are available to the model; in TUI mode, the operator controls the tool surface via `OCP_TUI_FULL_TOOLS`. Either way, the tools run under the operator's credentials on the server, and the client sees only the final text output.

+**Client-local tool execution is not supported by design.** Supporting it would require bypassing the `claude` CLI to call the raw Anthropic API directly — that is a different product, and is out of scope per `ALIGNMENT.md` (every OCP endpoint must correspond to something `cli.js` actually does).

+
+A long-running TUI-mode host can get stuck returning a permanent 401 that re-login cannot fix.
+
+**Root cause (two layers):** interactive `claude` **prefers `~/.claude/.credentials.json` over the `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` env var** (this is *unlike* the `-p` path, where the env token wins). So (a) a stale/corrupt `credentials.json` **shadows** the env token — passing the token is not enough on its own; and (b) when claude does use `credentials.json`, its single-use OAuth refresh token can be corrupted (ending up an empty string) by the per-request spawn + `kill-session` teardown racing claude's token rotation. Re-login writes a fresh token, but the next spawn re-corrupts it. Proven live on PI231: *env token passed + broken `credentials.json` present → 401; env token passed + `credentials.json` moved aside → works.*
+
+**Fix:** set `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` on the OCP host and leave `OCP_TUI_HOME` **unset**. OCP then runs the TUI `claude` in a **credential-isolated home** (`$HOME/.ocp-tui/home`) that has **no `credentials.json`** at all, so the env token is the only credential (authoritative — nothing shadows it) and claude never runs the refresh path (so the single-use token can't be corrupted). Then restart — on systemd `daemon-reload`, on launchd `bootout`+`bootstrap`; `kickstart -k` does **not** reload env. Verify the env reached the process and the boot log shows the isolated home:
+
+```bash
+# Linux (systemd): confirm the token is in the service env
+tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/$(pgrep -f server.mjs | head -1)/environ | grep CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN
+# Boot log should read: TUI-mode: ON home=$HOME/.ocp-tui/home ... auth=env-token (credential-isolated home — no credentials.json)
+```
+
+> If you previously set `OCP_TUI_HOME` to the real home (or any home that contains a `credentials.json`), **unset it** so the credential-isolated default takes effect — otherwise the shadowing `credentials.json` remains in play.

Set to `"1"` to force the legacy real-`HOME` spawn (no cwd override) even when a token exists. With **no** resolvable token, OCP falls back to the real `HOME` automatically (zero regression). Active mode is shown at startup and on `/health.spawn`. |

+| `OCP_TUI_HOME` | *(auto)* | (TUI-mode) `HOME` claude runs under. **When unset, OCP picks it for you:** if `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` is set → a **credential-isolated** scratch home `$HOME/.ocp-tui/home` (no `credentials.json`, env-token auth — **recommended**); if no env token → the operator's real home (legacy shared `credentials.json`). Setting this to an **explicit** path overrides the auto-default. The credential handling at that path still follows the env token: **with** the env token it is credential-free (env-token auth, no `credentials.json` written); **without** the env token (and the path ≠ real home) it uses the legacy symlinked-credentials scratch mode, which carries the credential-fork caveat — see ADR 0007. |
 | `OCP_TUI_ENTRYPOINT` | `cli` | (TUI-mode) Billing-classifier labeling: `cli` (default) pins `cc_entrypoint=cli` deterministically; `auto` lets claude self-classify via TTY detection; `off` leaves the inherited env untouched. Honest only when the spawn is a genuine interactive PTY — see ADR 0007. |
+| `OCP_TUI_MAX_CONCURRENT` | `2` | (TUI-mode) Max concurrent interactive TUI turns. **Independent** of `CLAUDE_MAX_CONCURRENT` (which bounds the `-p`/stream-json path; TUI never uses it). A TUI turn is heavy (per-request cold-boot of tmux+claude + up to `CLAUDE_TUI_WALLCLOCK_MS` wallclock), so the default is low to keep small hosts (e.g. a Pi 4) alive under a burst. Excess turns **queue** (bounded); a full queue yields a 503. See ADR 0007 PR-B amendment. |
+| `OCP_SKIP_AUTH_TEST` | *(unset)* | When `=1`, skip the `claude -p` auth probe during `setup.mjs`. After 2026-06-15 this probe draws from the Agent SDK credit pool; set this to avoid burning a metered credit on re-installs or `ocp update` runs. Auth is validated at the first real request. |
+| `OCP_TUI_FULL_TOOLS` | *(unset)* | (TUI-mode, **single-user only**) When `=1`, grant the interactive session the **same tool surface as the `-p` path** — `--allowedTools` (+ optional `--mcp-config`, read from `CLAUDE_ALLOWED_TOOLS` / `CLAUDE_MCP_CONFIG`) — instead of the default MCP-walled, built-in-tools-only set. Lets a trusted single-operator TUI deployment run a **tool-using / MCP agent** (e.g. an OpenClaw assistant) on the subscription pool. Safe because TUI **refuses to boot under `AUTH_MODE=multi`** (hard exit) — no guest key can ever reach the TUI path, so this gate cannot expose tools to an untrusted caller. (Under `AUTH_MODE=shared` + `OCP_TUI_ALLOW_LAN=1`, anyone holding the single shared key reaches it — that is the existing TUI trust model, unchanged.) Note: `--dangerously-skip-permissions` / `CLAUDE_SKIP_PERMISSIONS` is **not** supported for TUI — claude v2.1.x shows an interactive bypass-acceptance screen in headless tmux that cannot be answered, bricking the pane. Use scratch-home `settings.json` `additionalDirectories` instead. See [Subscription-pool (TUI) mode](#subscription-pool-tui-mode) and ADR 0007. |

 - **No real token streaming.** TUI-mode buffers the full response then replays it as chunked SSE. You will see a delay then the complete response rather than real-time tokens.
 - **Cache and singleflight work normally.** TUI-mode writes the buffered response to the cache on success; cache-hits skip the interactive turn entirely.
+- **The host's `CLAUDE.md` / auto-memory is never injected.** OCP is a proxy — the proxied client (OpenClaw / your IDE) owns its own context and memory. TUI-mode always runs `claude` with `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CLAUDE_MDS` + `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY`, so a `CLAUDE.md` on the OCP host can never leak into proxied turns (verified live; see #4). Built-in tool schemas + the interactive system prompt remain (the inherent ~20–35K context floor of interactive mode); MCP is hard-disabled.
+- **Authenticate via `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` in a credential-isolated home (recommended).** tmux does not forward the parent process's env to the pane, so OCP sets the token explicitly on the spawned `claude` when `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` is present. But passing the token is **not enough on its own**: interactive `claude` *prefers* `~/.claude/.credentials.json` over the env var (unlike the `-p` path), so a stale `credentials.json` would shadow the token. With the env token set and `OCP_TUI_HOME` unset, OCP therefore runs claude in a **credential-isolated home** (`$HOME/.ocp-tui/home`) that has **no `credentials.json`** — so the env token is the only credential and is authoritative, and claude never runs the token-refresh path (so the single-use refresh token can't be corrupted by the spawn/teardown cycle). On a long-running host the credentials.json path produced a permanent `Please run /login · API Error: 401` that re-login could not fix (the next spawn re-corrupted it); the isolated home ends that at the root. Transcripts land under the same isolated home, so the answer-reader is unaffected. Without the env token, claude falls back to the real home's `credentials.json` (byte-for-byte the previous behaviour). (The token is visible in `ps` on the pane command — acceptable for the single-user A-path; the multi-user B-path is refused at boot.) See ADR 0007 PR-C / PR-D amendments.
+- **Stale tmux sessions are reaped.** The pane's `claude` is a child of the tmux server (not OCP), so OCP cannot reap it directly; `claude` zombies can otherwise accumulate as `<defunct>` over a long-running host. OCP reaps them at boot and on a 15-min idle sweep by issuing `tmux kill-server` — but **only when no foreign tmux session remains** (it never disrupts a co-hosted `olp-tui-*` instance). See ADR 0007 PR-C amendment.
 - **Default path unchanged.** Unset `CLAUDE_TUI_MODE` and restart → `callClaude` / `callClaudeStreaming` are used again, byte-for-byte identical to today.
+- **Concurrency is bounded separately.** TUI turns are heavy (per-request cold-boot + long wallclock), so the TUI path has its own limiter — `OCP_TUI_MAX_CONCURRENT` (default `2`), independent of `CLAUDE_MAX_CONCURRENT`. Excess turns queue; a full queue returns a 503. Tune it up only on a host that can run more interactive `claude` sessions at once.

+### Monitoring drift via `/health`
+
+`GET /health` includes a `tui` block so you can poll for a silent billing-pool drift (the top risk after the 6/15 flip — a lost TTY flipping `cc_entrypoint` from `cli` to the metered `sdk-cli` pool would still return answers but burn metered credits). The block is **always present** (with `enabled:false` when TUI-mode is off):
+
+```jsonc
+"tui": {
+  "enabled": true,             // CLAUDE_TUI_MODE === "true"
+  "entrypointMode": "cli",     // OCP_TUI_ENTRYPOINT (cli | auto | off)
+  "lastEntrypoint": "cli",     // last cc_entrypoint observed in a transcript, or null

+  "maxConcurrent": 2           // OCP_TUI_MAX_CONCURRENT
+}
+```
+
+Alert on `entrypointMismatches > 0` (or `lastEntrypoint !== "cli"`): it means a turn drew from the metered Agent SDK pool instead of the subscription. `inflight` / `queued` show how close the TUI path is to its concurrency cap.

+# OCP Promotion Strategy — "Stable & Visible"
+
+> **This document is a recommendation for the maintainer to review and adjust, not a committed plan.**
+> It reflects the project's current posture (post-v3.21.0) and should be revisited whenever
+> the Anthropic billing / ToS environment changes significantly.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Goal: Polish + Low-Key OSS Visibility
+
+The goal is **stability and quiet discoverability**, not growth-hacking. OCP is a personal power tool
+that has been open-sourced because others can benefit from it. The right audience finds it via GitHub
+search, issue threads in related projects, and word of mouth — not viral posts.
+
+**Explicitly avoid:**
+
+- HN / Reddit front-page pushes, influencer outreach, or any campaign that would attract a large
+  influx of users before the ToS/billing situation has settled. Anthropic is actively tightening
+  billing and enforcement on subscription-sharing (the June-15 Agent-SDK billing split is
+  *paused*, not cancelled — and consumer-ToS enforcement on multi-person sharing is a live risk).
+  A high-traffic spotlight right now would draw scrutiny that a low-profile project avoids.
+- Promising features that require bypassing the `claude` CLI (raw API calls, OAuth extraction, etc.)
+  — that would violate `ALIGNMENT.md` and the ToS simultaneously.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Pre-Requisite: Stability First
+
+Do not promote until the house is in order:
+
+- [x] The concurrency / latency perf fixes are shipped (v3.20.x–v3.21.0).
+- [x] Docs honesty is complete (client-tools boundary, ToS sharing disclosure, this doc).
+- [ ] The June-15 Agent-SDK billing split is either confirmed cancelled or OCP has a confirmed
+      stable path (TUI toggle as insurance — see §5 below).
+
+Promoting a project that has known rough edges in docs or stability only generates support burden
+and negative first impressions.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Honest ToS Disclosure on Sharing
+
+Any promotion materials must carry the same disclosure as `README.md § "Deployment model & security"`:
+
+> Pooling a single Claude subscription across **multiple distinct people** may violate Anthropic's
+> Consumer Terms of Service and risk account suspension. The defensible framing is "one person,
+> your own devices". Friends/team sharing is not.
+
+This framing should appear in any README badge, linked blog post, or issue comment that mentions
+LAN sharing. It is not a disclaimer that discourages usage — it is honest positioning that protects
+both the project and its users.
+
+---
+
+## 4. What to Explicitly Skip
+
+These items are **not gaps in OCP** — they are deliberate stance decisions:
+
+- **Multi-backend routing** (routing to OpenAI, Gemini, Llama, etc.) — that is the sibling [OLP
+  project](https://github.com/dtzp555-max/olp)'s role. OCP stays Claude-only by design.
+- **Gateway model-discovery** (auto-detecting which models a remote server offers) — not needed
+  for OCP's single-provider, single-subscription model. `models.json` is the SPOT.
+- **Raw Anthropic API passthrough** (bypassing the `claude` CLI) — out of scope per `ALIGNMENT.md`.
+
+Do not add these to OCP roadmaps or respond to feature requests for them with "planned" — the
+correct answer is "that's OLP territory" or "out of scope per ALIGNMENT.md".
+
+---
+
+## 5. TUI Toggle as Insurance
+
+The `CLAUDE_TUI_MODE` opt-in is the primary mitigation if the June-15 billing split reactivates
+and makes the default `-p` path draw from the metered Agent SDK credit pool.
+
+Keep the TUI toggle:
+- Functional and tested across the three deployment hosts.
+- Documented in the README, including the security constraints (single-user only).
+- Easily discoverable for users who get unexpectedly metered.
+
+If the split reactivates, the recommended operator path is: set `CLAUDE_TUI_MODE=true` +
+`CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` → credential-isolated scratch home → subscription pool. That path is
+already shipped and documented.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Low-Key Visibility Actions (when §2 pre-requisites are met)
+
+- Keep the GitHub README polished and honest — it is the primary landing page.
+- Respond promptly to issues and PRs — the project's reputation is built on reliability, not
+  marketing.
+- Add OCP to the `awesome-claude` / `awesome-llm-tools` lists if they exist and allow self-PRs
+  — low-effort, targeted, reaches the right audience.
+- When related projects (Cline, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Continue.dev) post about local Claude proxies,
+  a short factual comment linking to OCP is appropriate — not spam.
+- Maintain the `CHANGELOG.md` with clear, honest summaries — users who are already running OCP
+  are the best vector for word-of-mouth.
+
+---
+
+*Last updated: v3.21.0 cleanup cycle. Maintainer should re-read before any external promotion.*

+## Observability and concurrency (PR-B amendment)
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-10
+**Status:** Accepted — amends ADR 0007.
+**Motivation:** the post-PR-A code audit, findings C-4 (P1) and C-5 (P1).
+
+### C-4 — independent concurrency bound for the TUI path
+
+The global `MAX_CONCURRENT` gate lives in `spawnClaudeProcess()` (the `-p` / stream-json
+path). `callClaudeTui()` never calls `spawnClaudeProcess` — it calls `runTuiTurn()`, which
+cold-boots a full interactive `claude` inside a fresh tmux session. So the TUI path had **no**
+concurrency bound: N concurrent TUI requests spawned N simultaneous cold-boot tmux+claude
+processes. On a small host (e.g. a Pi 4 serving a family) a burst of ~5 is an OOM risk and
+also multiplies subscription rate-limit pressure.
+
+PR-B adds an **independent** limiter for the TUI path (`lib/tui/semaphore.mjs`,
+`TuiSemaphore`):
+
+- **`OCP_TUI_MAX_CONCURRENT`, default `2`.** Rationale: a TUI turn is heavy — a per-request
+  cold-boot of tmux+claude plus up to `CLAUDE_TUI_WALLCLOCK_MS` (120 s) of wallclock — so a
+  small host cannot run many at once. `2` is the conservative default that keeps a Pi-class
+  host alive under a family burst while still allowing some overlap. It is deliberately **not**
+  the same knob as `MAX_CONCURRENT` (default 8): the two pools have different shapes (a
+  stream-json spawn is cheap and fast; a TUI turn is a heavy cold-boot + long wallclock), so
+  coupling them would mis-size one of the two paths.
+- **Queue, don't reject.** The limiter **queues** (awaits a slot), mirroring the spirit of
+  `MAX_CONCURRENT` — requests are not dropped on contention. To bound memory against a runaway
+  client, the wait queue itself is capped (`maxQueue`, default 32× the limit); when the queue
+  is full `run()` rejects with `tui_queue_full`, surfaced as a 503 — deterministic backpressure
+  rather than silent OOM.
+- **Slot released in a `finally`.** `TuiSemaphore.run(fn)` releases the slot in a `finally`, so
+  any throw — PR-A's honesty gates (`tui_wallclock_truncated`, `tui_upstream_error`), a
+  `tui_paste_not_landed`, or a `tui_spawn_failed` — can never leak a slot.
+
+This limiter has **zero effect when `TUI_MODE` is off**: `callClaudeTui` is never reached, so
+the semaphore is never entered. The default stream-json path is untouched.
+
+### C-5 — operator-visible drift surface on `/health` (additive)
+
+The `tui_entrypoint_mismatch` warning only reached journald. After the 2026-06-15 flip, a
+silent `sdk-cli` drift (the documented top risk in this ADR — a lost TTY flipping the
+self-classification to the metered Agent SDK pool) would drain metered credits **invisibly**.
+PR-B adds a `tui` block to the `/health` JSON response so an operator can poll it:
+
+```
+tui: {
+  enabled:              <TUI_MODE>,
+  entrypointMode:       <OCP_TUI_ENTRYPOINT>,   // cli | auto | off
+  lastEntrypoint:       <last observed cc_entrypoint, e.g. "cli", or null>,
+  entrypointMismatches: <count of cli-expected-but-got-other turns>,
+  inflight:             <current concurrent TUI turns>,
+  queued:               <turns waiting for a slot>,
+  maxConcurrent:        <OCP_TUI_MAX_CONCURRENT>
+}
+```
+
+`lastEntrypoint` is recorded and `entrypointMismatches` incremented inside `callClaudeTui` in
+the same mismatch branch that already emits the journald warning (via `recordTuiEntrypoint`).
+`inflight` / `queued` / `maxConcurrent` come from the C-4 semaphore. When `TUI_MODE` is off the
+block still appears with `enabled:false` (cheap, harmless) so the response shape is stable for
+consumers regardless of mode.
+
+### ALIGNMENT authorization for the `/health` change
+
+`/health` is a **grandfathered B.2 endpoint** under ADR 0006, frozen at its v3.16.4 behaviour.
+`ALIGNMENT.md`'s grandfather provision states: *"Any change to the contract (request shape,
+response shape, semantics) of a grandfathered B.2 endpoint is treated as a new authorization
+request and requires either a behaviour-preserving refactor PR or its own ADR."*
+
+This amendment **is** that authorization. The argument:
+
+- The change is **additive**: it adds one new top-level field (`tui`) containing only new
+  sub-fields. **No existing `/health` field is changed, renamed, removed, or re-typed**, and no
+  existing semantics change. Existing `/health` consumers (the dashboard, `ocp-connect`,
+  monitoring) read the fields they already read and are unaffected — the change is
+  **behaviour-preserving** for them, which is exactly the bar the grandfather provision sets for
+  a non-ADR contract change.
+- The TUI observability surface is an **intrinsic part of the TUI feature** whose authorizing
+  authority is **this ADR (0007)**, not a brand-new B.2 endpoint. We are not adding a new B.2
+  endpoint or a new method (which would each require their own fresh ADR under the New Class B
+  endpoint procedure) — we are extending the response of an existing grandfathered endpoint with
+  fields that report state owned by an ADR-0007 feature. ADR 0007 is the natural home for that
+  authority, and this amendment records it explicitly.
+- `cli.js` does not perform this operation — `/health` is OCP-owned (Class B), so no `cli.js`
+  citation applies; the citation is this ADR + ADR 0006 (grandfathered B.2) per
+  `ALIGNMENT.md`'s Class B citation requirement.
+
+### `OCP_TUI_MAX_CONCURRENT` summary
+
+| Env var | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `OCP_TUI_MAX_CONCURRENT` | `2` | Max concurrent interactive TUI turns. Independent of `CLAUDE_MAX_CONCURRENT` (the stream-json path). Excess turns queue (bounded); a full queue yields a 503. |
+
+---
+
+## Authentication + defunct-reaping (PR-C amendment)
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-13
+**Status:** Accepted — amends ADR 0007.
+**Motivation:** the PI231 production incident — TUI-mode returned `Please run /login · API Error: 401` for days; re-login never stuck.
+
+### How the TUI `claude` authenticates
+
+The spawned interactive `claude` obtains its OAuth bearer in one of two ways, in this order of preference:
+
+1. **`CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` in env (PREFERRED).** If the env var is set on the OCP process, `buildTuiCmd` adds `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN=<shq-escaped token>` to the pane command's `env` prefix. claude then authenticates via this long-lived token and **never touches the credentials-refresh path**. This is the stable mode — it is exactly how the oracle and Mac-mini hosts already run (and how `server.mjs`'s own `getOAuthCredentials()` takes the same env at highest precedence). cli.js is **not** the authority here: this is a Class B, OCP-owned TUI spawn — see the Class B citation below.
+2. **`<HOME>/.claude/.credentials.json` (FALLBACK).** When the env var is unset, claude falls back to the credentials file and its short-lived access token, renewing via the single-use refresh token.
+
+The token MUST be set explicitly in `buildTuiCmd` because **tmux does not forward the parent process's environment to the pane** (verified live 2026-06-01 — the same reason the whole env is delivered as an `env` prefix). A token sitting in the OCP process env is invisible to the pane unless `buildTuiCmd` re-emits it.
+
+### Why the fallback path corrupts (the PI231 incident)
+
+When the env token is absent, every per-request spawn drives claude through the credentials.json refresh path. OAuth refresh tokens are **single-use / rotating**: a refresh consumes the old refresh token and writes a new one. The per-request `kill-session` teardown can race / interrupt claude mid-rotation, and over many spawn+kill cycles the refresh token ended up an **empty string** — at which point renewal is impossible and the host returns a permanent 401. Re-login writes a fresh token, but the next spawn re-corrupts it. **Proof the env-token fix works:** on the broken PI231 host, `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN=<oat01 token> claude -p ...` returned a real answer *despite* the corrupt credentials.json (control without the env token = 401).
+
+**Operator guidance:** set `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` on any TUI-mode host. The credentials.json fallback is retained only for hosts that intentionally rely on it; it is not recommended for a long-running TUI deployment.
+
+**Security note:** with the token in the pane command, it is visible in `ps`. This is acceptable for the **single-user A-path** (it mirrors the existing plaintext-token practice for `server.mjs`), and the **multi-user B-path is already refused at boot** (`CLAUDE_TUI_MODE=true` + `AUTH_MODE=multi` is a hard FATAL), so a guest can never reach this spawn.
+
+### Defunct `<claude>` reaping
+
+The connected leak: the pane's `claude` process is a child of the long-lived **tmux server** daemon, not of the OCP node process (`tmux new-session -d` returns the instant the server forks the pane). Node can therefore never `waitpid()`/reap it — a SIGKILL still needs the *parent* (the tmux server) to reap. `kill-session` destroys the session but leaves the pane's `claude` (and its grandchildren) as `<defunct>` zombies that only the server reaps; over 30 days on PI231 this accumulated to **25 defunct `<claude>`** (a live `tmux kill-server` dropped it 25→3).
+
+The node-reachable action that *actually reaps* — rather than merely re-signalling — is to stop the tmux server: on server exit the kernel reparents survivors to init (PID 1), which reaps them. `reapStaleTuiSessions` therefore, after killing our own `ocp-tui-*` sessions, issues `kill-server` **only when no foreign session of any prefix remains** (coexistence: never disrupt a co-hosted `olp-tui-*` instance). This runs at boot (existing) and now on a 15-min periodic interval gated on TUI-mode and on the TUI path being idle (`inflight === 0 && queued === 0`) so a live turn's pane is never torn down. Residual: a request whose pane is created in the narrow window between the idle-check and `kill-server` would fail cleanly via the existing honesty gates (rare; documented in the server comment).
+
+### ALIGNMENT authorization (Class B)
+
+Both changes are **Class B** (OCP-owned TUI spawn). `cli.js` does not perform either operation — there is no `cli.js` analogue for "how the TUI pane authenticates" or "reaping tmux-server-owned zombies"; this surface is authorized by **this ADR (0007)** per `ALIGNMENT.md`'s Class B citation requirement. No Class A wire surface, no endpoint shape, no `alignment.yml` blacklist token, and no `models.json` entry is touched.
+
+---
+
+## Credential-isolated home for env-token auth (PR-D amendment)
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-13
+**Status:** Accepted — amends ADR 0007. **Corrects** the PR-C rationale and the original "Home strategy" section's scratch-home caveat.
+**Motivation:** PR-C's env-token passing alone did **not** fix the PI231 401. Decisive live evidence (claude 2.1.104, PI231):
+
+| Condition | Result |
+|---|---|
+| env token passed + a broken `~/.claude/.credentials.json` present | **401** (`Please run /login · API Error: 401`) |
+| env token passed + `credentials.json` moved aside | **works** (real answer) |
+
+### Corrected root cause
+
+**Interactive `claude` PREFERS `~/.claude/.credentials.json` over the `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` env var.** A stale/corrupt `credentials.json` therefore **shadows** the env token. (This is *unlike* `-p` mode, where the env token wins — which is why `server.mjs`'s own `getOAuthCredentials()` is unaffected and why PR-C's premise looked sufficient.) So passing the token (PR-C, `buildTuiCmd`) is **necessary but insufficient**: the TUI `claude` must additionally run in a HOME that has **no `credentials.json`**, so the env token is the only credential and is authoritative.
+
+This also fixes the original incident at the **root**, more completely than PR-C claimed: with no `credentials.json` in the home, claude never runs the token-refresh path at all, so the single-use refresh token can never be rotated — and therefore never corrupted — by the spawn+`kill-session` cycle. The 25-zombie / empty-refresh-token failure mode becomes structurally impossible, not merely avoided.
+
+### Decision
+
+When `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` is set, the TUI `claude` runs in a **credential-free scratch home** by default:
+
+- `resolveTuiHome({ realHome, configuredHome, envTokenSet })` (exported from `lib/tui/session.mjs`, pure) decides the home:
+  - **`OCP_TUI_HOME` set** → that path (explicit override, back-compat — an operator who configured it keeps exactly that home).
+  - **else env token set** → `<realHome>/.ocp-tui/home` — a dedicated scratch home seeded with a minimal `.claude.json` (`hasCompletedOnboarding=true` + trust **only** the scratch cwd) and its own `projects/` dir, and **deliberately NO `.credentials.json`** (no symlink, no copy).
+  - **else (no env token)** → the operator's real home — **byte-for-byte the pre-fix behaviour** for hosts that intentionally rely on `credentials.json`.
+- `prepareTuiHome(realHome, tuiHome, cwd, { envTokenMode })` gates the credential handling: in `envTokenMode` it creates the scratch `projects/` dir and seeds the minimal trusted `.claude.json` but **never** creates the credentials symlink. `runTuiTurn` sets `envTokenMode = !!CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN && ehome !== realHome`.
+- `readTuiTranscript` reads from the **same** home claude runs under (`ehome`), so transcripts land under `<scratch home>/.claude/projects/` and `findTranscriptPath` globs them there — the home is threaded through consistently. (We chose scratch-`HOME` over `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`: the binary supports `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`, but it relocates the transcript root to `<CONFIG_DIR>/projects/` rather than `<HOME>/.claude/projects/`, which would fork the transcript-resolution rule across modes for no benefit. The scratch-HOME lever reuses the existing, tested `prepareTuiHome`/`ehome` plumbing.)
+
+### This RESOLVES — not reintroduces — the scratch-home caveat
+
+The original "Home strategy" section and PR-C's `prepareTuiHome` comment warned that scratch-home is unsafe because *claude rewrites a **symlinked** `.credentials.json` on token refresh → forks/corrupts the OAuth credentials*. **That caveat does not apply to env-token mode**: there is no `credentials.json` in the home to fork, and claude never refreshes (it uses the long-lived env token), so there is no rotation and no corruption. The fork risk was inherent to the *symlink* approach; removing the credentials file entirely removes the risk. The legacy symlink mode is retained **only** for an operator who explicitly sets `OCP_TUI_HOME` without an env token, and its caveat is preserved for exactly that path.
+
+### ALIGNMENT authorization (Class B)
+
+**Class B** (OCP-owned TUI spawn). `cli.js` has no analogue for the TUI pane's auth/home strategy; authorized by **this ADR (0007)** per `ALIGNMENT.md`'s Class B citation requirement. `server.mjs` is touched only to compute `TUI_HOME` via `resolveTuiHome()` (TUI wiring) and to surface the auth mode in the boot log — no Class A wire surface, no endpoint shape, no `alignment.yml` blacklist token, and no `models.json` entry is touched.

+# 2026-06-15 Canary Runbook
+
+**Purpose:** Confirm that a TUI-mode turn is billed to the **Pro/Max subscription pool** (not the Agent SDK credit pool) after Anthropic's 2026-06-15 billing split activates.
+
+The billing classifier reading `cli` is **necessary but NOT sufficient** proof. (Note the naming: the value is stored in the JSONL transcript under the field name `entrypoint`, and sent to Anthropic on the wire as the `cc_entrypoint` header — they carry the same value after claude's startup classification. The commands below grep the transcript, so they match `entrypoint`.) A `cli` label tells you OCP sent the right classification; it does not tell you Anthropic billed the right pool. The only authoritative test is to observe whether the **Agent SDK credit balance** moves or not before and after the canary turn.
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- `CLAUDE_TUI_MODE=true` already set and OCP restarted (see [TUI-mode setup in README](../../README.md#enabling-tui-mode-opt-in))
+- `tmux` installed on the host
+- No other OCP traffic during the canary (quiesce — see below)
+- Access to your Anthropic account billing page (manual step — see below)
+
+---
+
+## Step 1 — Quiesce the host
+
+Stop any IDE or client that is actively sending requests through this OCP instance.
+
+Confirm the proxy is idle:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:3456/health | python3 -m json.tool | grep activeRequests
+# Expected: "activeRequests": 0
+```
+
+Wait until `activeRequests` is `0` before proceeding. If you cannot quiesce (e.g. family members are actively using it), run the canary on a separate OCP instance or during a quiet window.
+
+---
+
+## Step 2 — Read the Agent SDK credit balance BEFORE the canary
+
+> **Manual step — no programmatic API available.**
+>
+> OCP's `/usage` endpoint reads `anthropic-ratelimit-unified-*` response headers from the Pro/Max plan quota (5-hour and 7-day subscription windows). These headers report **subscription usage**, not the Agent SDK credit pool balance. There is no known programmatic API to query the Agent SDK credit pool balance from outside the Anthropic web app.
+
+To read the balance:
+
+1. Open [https://claude.ai/settings/billing](https://claude.ai/settings/billing) (or your Anthropic Console billing page) in a browser.
+2. Find the **Agent SDK Credits** section (sometimes labeled "API Credits" or "Agent SDK usage").
+3. Note the current balance (e.g. `$18.43 remaining of $20.00`).
+
+Write the value down — you will compare it after the canary turn.
+
+---
+
+## Step 3 — Send the canary turn
+
+With TUI-mode on and the host quiesced, send exactly one small request:
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3456/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "model": "claude-haiku-4-5-20251001",
+    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Reply with the single word: pong"}],
+    "max_tokens": 10
+  }' | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+
+Use Haiku (the cheapest model) to minimize any hypothetical impact if the canary turns red.
+
+Wait for the response to arrive completely (TUI-mode buffers the full response before returning — you will see a delay of several seconds, then the full reply).
+
+---
+
+## Step 4 — Confirm the transcript shows `entrypoint:"cli"`
+
+After the canary turn completes, inspect the most recent JSONL transcript for the billing-classifier label:
+
+```bash
+# The canary was run quiesced (Step 1), so the most recent JSONL across ALL project
+# dirs IS the canary turn. We glob every projects subdir instead of recomputing
+# claude's cwd-encoding rule (it maps every "/" AND "." to "-", e.g. ~/.ocp-tui/work
+# => projects/-home-<user>--ocp-tui-work/; see lib/tui/transcript.mjs encodeCwd) —
+# a glob is robust even if that encoding changes in a future claude build.
+LATEST=$(ls -t "$HOME"/.claude/projects/*/*.jsonl 2>/dev/null | head -1)
+echo "Transcript: $LATEST"
+grep -o '"entrypoint":"[^"]*"' "$LATEST" | tail -1
+# Expected: "entrypoint":"cli"
+```
+
+If the output shows `"entrypoint":"cli"`, the billing-classifier label is correct. If it shows `"entrypoint":"sdk-cli"`, the spawn did not get a real PTY — stop immediately and do not re-enable TUI-mode without investigation. Check `tmux new-session` manually and review ADR 0007 § spawn/PTY gate. (If the grep returns nothing, the transcript may not yet be flushed — re-run after a second, or confirm the turn completed.)
+
+**Reminder: an `entrypoint:cli` label (the `cc_entrypoint=cli` wire header) is necessary but not sufficient.** It tells you OCP sent the right label to Anthropic. You must still check the credit balance in Step 5.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5 — Re-read the Agent SDK credit balance AFTER the canary
+
+Return to [https://claude.ai/settings/billing](https://claude.ai/settings/billing) and reload the page. Note the current balance again.
+
+---
+
+## Step 6 — Green/Red decision
+
+### Green (balance unchanged)
+
+The Agent SDK credit balance did not decrease. The turn billed against the Pro/Max subscription pool as expected. TUI-mode is working correctly.
+
+**Actions:**
+- Keep `CLAUDE_TUI_MODE=true` on this host.
+- Monitor the balance periodically for the first week to catch any delayed attribution.
+- Resume normal traffic.
+
+### Red (Agent SDK credit balance decreased)
+
+The Agent SDK credit balance decreased. The subscription pool is not being used for TUI-mode turns on this host, despite `cc_entrypoint=cli` being set. This may indicate a backend routing change on Anthropic's side, a TTY detection failure, or a policy change.
+
+**Actions — immediate:**
+1. Unset `CLAUDE_TUI_MODE` (or set to any value other than `"true"`) in the service unit:
+   - systemd: edit `/etc/ocp/ocp.env` (or the unit's `Environment=` line), then `sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl restart ocp.service`
+   - launchd: edit the plist `EnvironmentVariables` section, then `launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u)/dev.ocp.proxy && launchctl bootstrap gui/$(id -u) <plist-path>`
+2. Restart OCP and confirm the `/health` response no longer shows TUI-mode active.
+3. If you share this OCP with family or other Max users: freeze their access temporarily until you understand the billing impact.
+4. Consider pivoting to OLP multi-provider (see [OLP](https://github.com/dtzp555-max/olp)) which can spread load across other providers to avoid the Agent SDK credit drain.
+
+Per ALIGNMENT.md Rule 2 / ADR 0007 § Kill-switch: "Per the constitution, the response is to drop the Anthropic provider rather than escalate spoofing."
+
+---
+
+## Ongoing monitoring — self-classification mini-canary
+
+To detect future drift (e.g. a claude CLI upgrade that changes TTY-detection behavior), you can run a periodic one-liner that sends a tiny TUI turn with `OCP_TUI_ENTRYPOINT=auto` (so claude self-classifies rather than having OCP pin the value) and alerts if the transcript self-classification is not `cli`:
+
+```bash
+# Run with OCP temporarily configured OCP_TUI_ENTRYPOINT=auto
+# Then check the most recent transcript:
+# Glob the most recent transcript across all project dirs (robust to claude's
+# cwd-encoding rule; run this right after the auto-mode mini-canary turn).
+LATEST=$(ls -t "$HOME"/.claude/projects/*/*.jsonl 2>/dev/null | head -1)
+RESULT=$(grep -o '"entrypoint":"[^"]*"' "$LATEST" | tail -1)
+echo "Self-classified entrypoint: $RESULT"
+if echo "$RESULT" | grep -q '"entrypoint":"cli"'; then
+  echo "OK — subscription pool"
+else
+  echo "ALERT — not cli; check TTY and billing"
+fi
+```
+
+Run this after any major `claude` CLI upgrade. The `auto` mode lets the CLI's own `t$A` startup function determine the value from the actual TTY state (see ADR 0007 § Billing-classifier labeling).

+# TUI-Mode Flip and Rollback Runbook
+
+**Purpose:** Step-by-step instructions for enabling (`CLAUDE_TUI_MODE=true`) or disabling TUI-mode on real OCP deployments managed by **systemd** (Linux) or **launchd** (macOS).
+
+Run the [615-canary](./615-canary.md) runbook after any flip to confirm billing pool routing is correct.
+
+---
+
+## Critical pitfalls — read first
+
+### systemd: `daemon-reload` is required after editing the unit
+
+Editing the unit file (or EnvironmentFile) and then doing `systemctl restart ocp.service` **without** `daemon-reload` will restart the process with the **old** environment from the cached unit. Always run `daemon-reload` after editing any unit file.
+
+### launchd: `launchctl kickstart -k` does NOT reload plist env
+
+`launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/dev.ocp.proxy` kills the running process and re-launches it, but it **re-uses the launchd-cached environment** — not the current plist file. If you edited the plist's `EnvironmentVariables` section, you must do a full `bootout` + `bootstrap` cycle for the change to take effect. `kickstart` is not sufficient.
+
+---
+
+## Flip — enable TUI-mode
+
+### systemd (Linux, e.g. Raspberry Pi, VPS)
+
+**Option A — EnvironmentFile (recommended for clean separation)**
+
+If your unit uses `EnvironmentFile=/etc/ocp/ocp.env` (or similar):
+
+```bash
+# 1. Edit the environment file
+sudo nano /etc/ocp/ocp.env
+# Add or update:
+#   CLAUDE_TUI_MODE=true
+#
+# If OCP binds to 0.0.0.0 AND you trust the network:
+#   OCP_TUI_ALLOW_LAN=1
+#   (WARNING: TUI-mode is single-user only — only enable OCP_TUI_ALLOW_LAN=1
+#    if you fully trust every caller that can reach the OCP port on your network)
+
+# 2. Reload the unit definition and restart
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl restart ocp.service
+
+# 3. Verify
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:3456/health | python3 -m json.tool | grep -E "tui|version"
+# Expected: "tuiMode": true (or similar TUI indicator in the health response)
+```
+
+**Option B — inline Environment= in the unit file**
+
+```bash
+# 1. Edit the unit file
+sudo systemctl edit --full ocp.service
+# Add or update in the [Service] section:
+#   Environment=CLAUDE_TUI_MODE=true
+
+# 2. Reload and restart
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl restart ocp.service
+
+# 3. Verify
+systemctl show ocp.service --property=Environment
+# Expected: Environment=CLAUDE_TUI_MODE=true ...
+```
+
+### launchd (macOS)
+
+Locate the OCP plist. The standard label is `dev.ocp.proxy`:
+
+```bash
+# Find the plist path
+ls ~/Library/LaunchAgents/dev.ocp.proxy.plist
+```
+
+**Edit the plist:**
+
+```bash
+# 1. Stop the service first (bootout)
+launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u)/dev.ocp.proxy
+
+# 2. Edit the plist — add CLAUDE_TUI_MODE to EnvironmentVariables
+#    Use your editor of choice:
+nano ~/Library/LaunchAgents/dev.ocp.proxy.plist
+```
+
+Inside the plist, in the `<key>EnvironmentVariables</key>` `<dict>` block, add:
+
+```xml
+<key>CLAUDE_TUI_MODE</key>
+<string>true</string>
+```
+
+If `OCP_TUI_ALLOW_LAN=1` is also needed (only if OCP binds to `0.0.0.0` and you trust the network):
+
+```xml
+<key>OCP_TUI_ALLOW_LAN</key>
+<string>1</string>
+```
+
+```bash
+# 3. Bootstrap (reload from disk + start)
+launchctl bootstrap gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/dev.ocp.proxy.plist
+
+# 4. Verify
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:3456/health | python3 -m json.tool | grep -E "tui|version"
+```
+
+**Confirm env was actually loaded** (not just set in your shell):
+
+```bash
+ps aux | grep server.mjs | grep -v grep
+# Get the PID, then:
+# macOS: ps -E -p <PID> | tr ' ' '\n' | grep CLAUDE_TUI_MODE
+# Expected: CLAUDE_TUI_MODE=true
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rollback — disable TUI-mode
+
+Rollback is the same procedure as flip, but you **remove** `CLAUDE_TUI_MODE` or set it to any value other than `"true"` (e.g. `false`, or simply omit it).
+
+After rollback, OCP returns to the default `callClaude` / `callClaudeStreaming` stream-json path — byte-for-byte identical to the pre-TUI code path. No other change is required.
+
+### systemd rollback
+
+```bash
+# Option A — EnvironmentFile
+sudo nano /etc/ocp/ocp.env
+# Remove or comment out:
+#   CLAUDE_TUI_MODE=true
+#   OCP_TUI_ALLOW_LAN=1  (if set)
+
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl restart ocp.service
+
+# Verify
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:3456/health | python3 -m json.tool | grep tui
+# Expected: "tuiMode": false (or the field absent)
+```
+
+### launchd rollback
+
+```bash
+# 1. Stop
+launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u)/dev.ocp.proxy
+
+# 2. Edit plist — remove the CLAUDE_TUI_MODE and OCP_TUI_ALLOW_LAN entries from EnvironmentVariables
+
+# 3. Bootstrap
+launchctl bootstrap gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/dev.ocp.proxy.plist
+
+# 4. Verify
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:3456/health | python3 -m json.tool | grep tui
+```
+
+---
+
+## Billing impact of staying on the default (non-TUI) path after 2026-06-15
+
+If you do NOT flip to TUI-mode and keep `CLAUDE_TUI_MODE` unset (the default), OCP continues using `claude -p --output-format stream-json`, which sets `cc_entrypoint=sdk-cli`. After 2026-06-15, every OCP request on the default path will draw from the Agent SDK credit pool (approximately $20/month on a Pro plan, or $100/month on a Max plan) rather than the Pro/Max subscription. The subscription pool usage (5-hour and 7-day windows) will be unaffected, but the Agent SDK credit balance will drain with each request.
+
+If you want to continue using OCP without TUI-mode after 2026-06-15, budget for the Agent SDK credit cost accordingly — or switch to [OLP](https://github.com/dtzp555-max/olp) for multi-provider fallback.
+
+---
+
+## Verify after any flip
+
+1. Check `/health` shows the expected `tuiMode` state.
+2. Run the [615-canary](./615-canary.md) to confirm billing pool routing.
+3. If TUI-mode is ON: check `ocp logs 10` for any TUI spawn errors (`tui_spawn_failed`, tmux errors).

+// WHY THIS EXISTS, SEPARATE FROM server.mjs's MAX_CONCURRENT:
+//   The global MAX_CONCURRENT gate lives in spawnClaudeProcess() (the -p / stream-json
+//   path). callClaudeTui() NEVER calls spawnClaudeProcess — it calls runTuiTurn(), which
+//   boots a full interactive `claude` inside a fresh tmux session. So nothing bounded the
+//   TUI path: N concurrent TUI requests spawned N simultaneous cold-boot tmux+claude
+//   processes. On a small host (a Pi 4 serving a family) a burst of ~5 is an OOM risk, and
+//   it also multiplies subscription rate-limit pressure. This is an INDEPENDENT limiter for
+//   the TUI path that mirrors MAX_CONCURRENT's intent without coupling to it (the two pools
+//   are different shapes: a stream-json spawn is cheap and fast; a TUI turn is a heavy
+//   cold-boot + up to 120s wallclock).
+//
+// QUEUE vs REJECT: we QUEUE (await a slot), mirroring the spirit of MAX_CONCURRENT's
+//   intent not to drop requests, rather than rejecting immediately. To avoid unbounded
+//   memory growth from a runaway client, the wait queue itself is bounded by maxQueue
+//   (default: a generous multiple of the concurrency limit). When the queue is full, run()
+//   rejects with a tui_queue_full error (the caller surfaces it as a 503) — a deterministic

+// ── C-1: honest AUTH-FAILURE banner detection (issue #133) ───────────────
+// When the interactive `claude` CLI hits an in-session error it does NOT crash —
+// it renders the error as ordinary assistant text in the transcript. The specific
+// failure C-1 exists to catch is R-1: EXPIRED / INVALID credentials, where every
+// turn comes back as the same one-line auth-failure banner and OCP, none the wiser,
+// caches that banner (server.mjs setCachedResponse), shares it via singleflight, and
+// records a model SUCCESS — so a hard auth error is silently served (and cached for
+// the 5-min TTL) as a real answer. The two live-reproduced banners on PI231
+// (2026-06-10) are:
+//   "Please run /login · API Error: 401 Invalid authentication credentials"  (69 chars)
+//   "Failed to authenticate. API Error: 401 Invalid authentication credentials" (73 chars)
+//
+// WHY THE SCOPE IS NARROW (conservatism — the load-bearing design choice).
+// An earlier generalised rule (^<short-prefix>?API Error:\s*\d{3}\b.*$) was TOO
+// BROAD: its unbounded `.*` tail let any short prefix + "API Error: NNN" + an
+// arbitrarily long sentence match, so it KILLED legitimate long answers that merely
+// DISCUSS an API error (e.g. "API Error: 500 happened because the server was
+// overloaded. To fix this, retry with exponential backoff …"). That is the worst
+// outcome: a false-positive costs the user a missing answer AND a double-burn retry,
+// whereas the rare false-negative (caching one transient error for the 5-min TTL) is
+// cheap and self-healing. So C-1 is reframed from "detect ANY API error" to "detect
+// a claude-CLI AUTHENTICATION-FAILURE banner", and when unsure it PASSES (does not
+// kill). Transient 5xx server errors are deliberately NOT detected — they are not the
+// R-1 case and the conservative choice is to let them through.
+//
+// THE SIGNAL — a turn is an auth-failure banner only if ALL of these hold over the
+// WHOLE trimmed assistant text (a conjunction; any one failing => PASS):
+//   1. SHORT whole-message. Real banners are one short line (the two live samples are
+//      69 and 73 chars). Cap = TUI_ERR_MAX_LEN (100) — headroom over 73 for a
+//      slightly longer future banner, while still rejecting multi-sentence prose. A
+//      long answer that happens to discuss auth (no code chars, e.g. 226 chars) is
+//      rejected on length alone.
+//   2. Contains "API Error: 4\d{2}" — auth failures are 4xx (401/403). This rejects
+//      transient 5xx ("API Error: 500/503 …") and bare "HTTP 401 means unauthorized."
+//      (no "API Error:" core).
+//   3. Contains an auth KEYWORD — authenticat | /login | credential (case-insensitive).
+//      This rejects answers that quote a 4xx but are not auth banners, e.g.
+//      "To debug a 401: the server returns API Error: 401 Unauthorized …"
+//      ("Unauthorized" is authoriz-, not authenticat-; no /login, no credential).
+//   4. Contains NO backtick or quote char (` ' "). A real CLI banner is plain text;
+//      backticked/quoted text signals an answer that is QUOTING the error rather than
+//      being the banner, e.g. "You'll see `API Error: 401` … run /login to fix it."

+// project CLAUDE.md / skills) on EVERY request. Pure Anthropic API floor for haiku "hi" ≈ 1–2s;
+// the same claude CLI spawned in the operator's real HOME/cwd ≈ 10–28s; a clean minimal HOME +
+// CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN ≈ 3–7s and authenticates fine. So the heavy global config is pure
+// per-request latency tax with no proxy benefit (a proxy must NOT leak the host's context into
+// the proxied turn — same rationale as NO_CONTEXT / the TUI path's CLAUDE_MDS suppression).
+//
+// FIX: when an OAuth token is resolvable, run the default spawn under a CREDENTIAL-FREE minimal
+// scratch HOME (`<realHome>/.ocp/spawn-home`) with cwd = that same neutral dir, and pass the
+// resolved token via CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN so the env token is authoritative. This MIRRORS the
+// TUI path's resolveTuiHome() env-token mode (lib/tui/session.mjs): for `-p`, the env token wins
+// over a credentials.json (the opposite of interactive claude), so credential isolation is not
+// even strictly required for auth here, but a credential-FREE home is still the right shape —
+// nothing to refresh, nothing to corrupt, no heavy config to load.
+//
+// SAFETY: if NO token is resolvable → fall back to the real HOME with no cwd override (zero
+// regression). OCP_SPAWN_REAL_HOME=1 forces that legacy behaviour even when a token exists.
