fix(prompt): OCP_LOCAL_TOOLS wrapper no longer hard-codes a tool list (closes #185)

The positive local-tools wrapper (server.mjs) claimed the model has "full access
to the local filesystem, working directory, and shell through your available
tools (Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, etc.)". That over-promises when an
operator narrows CLAUDE_ALLOWED_TOOLS (e.g. to Read,Grep): the model is told it
has Bash/Write/shell it doesn't hold, then attempts a non-granted tool and gets
denied. The default set matches the text, so the primary/OpenClaw path was fine —
but the enumeration was a prompt-honesty mismatch (flagged in the #182 fact-check).

Reworded to flip the POSTURE only ("you may use your available local tools … do
not assume access beyond the tool set provided to you in this session") without
enumerating specific tools or asserting shell/write capability. The model learns
its real tools from the tool definitions claude is given (--allowedTools), so the
enumeration was redundant as well as fragile — now honest under any allowed set.

No const reordering / no CONFIG_EPOCH change (still a constant; the epoch-fold
test confirms toggling still invalidates the cache with the new text). Test
markers updated (selectPromptWrapper unit + the boot-server integration assertion
that the positive wrapper reaches the -p spawn). Suite 449/0.

Rule 2: OCP-owned prompt composition, no wire change, no cli.js citation.

Closes #185

 # Changelog
 
-## v3.25.0 — 2026-07-27
-
-Minor release. Headline: **Claude Opus 5** joins the model list and the `opus` alias now resolves to it. Alongside it, two `server.mjs` correctness fixes found by review rather than by users — a monotonic in-flight-counter leak, and cache keys that were hashing the alias string instead of the model it resolves to. The three TUI/prompt fixes that landed after v3.24.0 are included here too.
-
-Every code PR carried an independent fresh-context reviewer (Iron Rule 10); #192 additionally went through the external codex gate, which is what surfaced the cache-key defect. No new endpoint, no new env var, no new `cli.js` wire behavior.
-
-### Added
-
-- **Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`) (#192).** New `models.json` entry — `/v1/models` goes 6 → 7 and OpenClaw picks it up on the next `ocp update` (via `scripts/sync-openclaw.mjs`). Verified against the installed CLI rather than assumed: the compiled `claude` 2.1.220 bundle carries `latest_per_family:{fable:"claude-fable-5",opus:"claude-opus-5",sonnet:"claude-sonnet-5",haiku:"claude-haiku-4-5"}`. Availability confirmed with a live `claude -p --model claude-opus-5` completion on the subscription pool. `claude-opus-4-8` is retained for pinning.
-- `contextWindow` is deliberately **200000**, not Opus 5's native 1M. Two reasons, both verified: (1) `MAX_PROMPT_CHARS` is a **single global** budget — `derivePromptCharBudget` takes `max(contextWindow) × 3` across *all* entries (`lib/prompt.mjs`), so a 1M entry would raise the truncation ceiling to 3,000,000 chars for `claude-haiku-4-5` too, which is genuinely 200k native, converting clean OCP-side truncation into an upstream API rejection; (2) OpenClaw scales its history budget linearly off this value (`contextWindow × maxHistoryShare × SAFETY_MARGIN` = `× 0.6`, plus an oversized-message threshold at `× 0.5`, per `compaction-planning` in OpenClaw 2026.7.1), and its own bundled registry hardcodes 200000 for Claude — the upstream request to raise it to 1M ([openclaw#22979](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/22979)) was closed *not planned*. A new regression test pins the invariant so a future 1M entry has to be a deliberate, reviewed change. Raising it for real needs per-model budgets — tracked separately, ADR-level.
-
-### Changed
-
-- **The `opus` alias now resolves to `claude-opus-5` instead of `claude-opus-4-8` (#192).** Every request that names `opus` — and OpenClaw's opus entry — moves to Opus 5 on upgrade. This mirrors what the CLI itself defaults to (`latest_per_family.opus` above), the same reasoning as #168's `sonnet` → `claude-sonnet-5` repoint in v3.23.0. **Pricing is unchanged** ($5/$25 per MTok; CLI registry `pricing:"tier_5_25"` for both Opus 4.8 and Opus 5), so this carries no cost change. Pin `claude-opus-4-8` explicitly to stay on the previous model.
-
-### Fixed
-
-- **Cache keys hashed the alias, not the model it resolves to (#194).** `model` enters `cacheHash` exactly as the client sent it, so a request for `"opus"` was cached under the literal `"opus"` — and since `models.json` is read once at boot while the SQLite `response_cache` outlives a restart, repointing an alias kept serving the **old model's** answers under it until TTL expiry. That would have silently defeated this release's own `opus` repoint for anyone running with the cache on. All three call sites now hash `Object.hasOwn(MODEL_MAP, model) ? MODEL_MAP[model] : model`, which fixes the normal, structured **and** single-flight keys at once and covers `legacyAliases` for free, with precise invalidation (only the repointed alias's entries change key) rather than a whole-cache flush. (`hasOwn` rather than a bare lookup: `MODEL_MAP` is a plain object, so `MODEL_MAP["__proto__"]` would return a truthy *object* and not even fall through to the `|| model` guard.) **Also closes a latent gap from #177:** the structured and dedup keys never passed `configEpoch` at all, so a `CLAUDE_SYSTEM_PROMPT` change — the original #176 scenario — kept serving structured answers composed under the old config, live since #153. Found by the external codex review of #192.
-- **In-flight request counter leaked permanently on a pre-spawn throw (#193, reported by @konceptnet in #180).** `stats.activeRequests` was incremented ~40 lines before the child spawn, while its only decrement is reached through that process's events — so any synchronous throw in between (`buildCliArgs`, env assembly, the spawn decision, or `spawn()` itself) leaked `+1` forever, and `/health` and `/status` over-reported in-flight work monotonically. The increment now sits immediately after `activeProcesses.add(proc)`, structurally pairing it with the decrement; no reconciliation pass and no try/catch. Observability-only field, so no admission decision changes.
-- **TUI: the host `CLAUDE.md` could leak into proxied turns (#187, contributed by @sumlin).** The TUI pane now spawns with `--safe-mode`.
-- **TUI: `shift+tab to cycle` is accepted as an input-ready marker (#188, contributed by @sumlin).** Claude renders one of two ready-state footers depending on the build — the classic `? for shortcuts` hint, or `shift+tab to cycle` (as part of `⏵⏵ bypass permissions on (shift+tab to cycle)`) on newer 2.1.x. The matcher only knew the classic string, so on those builds it silently reported "never ready": every boot timed out with `tui_pane_not_ready`, and with the warm pool on, every pre-boot failed.
-- **`OCP_LOCAL_TOOLS` no longer hard-codes a tool list in its wrapper (#191, closes #185).** The positive wrapper claimed a fixed set of tools regardless of `CLAUDE_ALLOWED_TOOLS`, so a narrowed tool surface was described inaccurately to the model.
-
-### Testing
-
-- The response-cache and counter fixes ship with **mutation-proven integration tests** built on the existing `ltBoot` child-process fixture (real `server.mjs`, fake `claude` binary, so no quota cost). The counter test reaches a synchronous fault *inside* `spawnClaudeProcess` from environment alone — no production fault hook — by running the child under `--stack-size=200` to lower the spread-throw threshold enough to fit Linux's `MAX_ARG_STRLEN`. Suite: **447 → 457** across this release (per PR: #188 +1, #187 +1, #191 +0, #194 +4, #192 +3, #193 +1).

 ## v3.24.0 — 2026-07-21
 
 Minor release. Headline: two long-requested **OpenAI-compat features** land — **multimodal vision** (`image_url` parts) and **structured outputs** (`response_format` / JSON schema). Also: the prompt-char budget now derives from the model SPOT instead of a hand-set constant, an agentic-turn bug that dropped the model's final answer is fixed, and `OCP_LOCAL_TOOLS` supports the OpenClaw-backend use case. Four of the six landed from external contributors (@vvlasy-openclaw). Every code PR carried a fresh-context reviewer (Iron Rule 10); no new endpoint, no new `cli.js` wire behavior.

Two consequences, both one-time and self-healing: rows written before the upgrade don't match the new lookups, so they orphan and are reaped by the TTL cleanup interval within one window — no migration script required; and an alias now correctly shares a cache slot with its canonical id, since both produce an identical spawn. Scope: for the **normal** cache only alias-addressed rows rekey — rows keyed on a literal model id keep matching, *unless* you run `OCP_LOCAL_TOOLS=1`, in which case the whole normal cache rekeys once because v3.25.0 also reworded that wrapper and the wrapper text feeds the config epoch. **Every structured-output row rekeys regardless**, since the same change folds the config epoch into the structured key, which it previously omitted. This is what makes an alias repoint (such as v3.25.0's `opus` → `claude-opus-5`) take effect immediately instead of being masked by the cache until TTL expiry. **Hash format upgrade in v3.13.0:** legacy `v1` cache rows don't match new `v2`-format lookups; they orphan and are reaped by the TTL cleanup interval within one window — no migration script required.

-### Response-cache hit rate drops once after upgrading to v3.25.0
-
-Only affects instances running with the response cache **on** (`CLAUDE_CACHE_TTL > 0`); it is off by default, so most installs see nothing.
-
-v3.25.0 keys the cache on the **resolved** model rather than on the string the client sent, so rows written for an alias (`opus`, `sonnet`, `haiku`, or a legacy alias like `claude-haiku-4-5`) no longer match. Those rows orphan and are reaped by the TTL cleanup interval within one window — **no migration script, no action required**; expect one window of extra misses and then normal hit rates.
-
-Two different scopes, worth being precise about:
-
-- **Normal cache** — only *alias-addressed* rows rekey. Rows written under a literal model id (`claude-sonnet-5`) keep matching — **unless the instance runs `OCP_LOCAL_TOOLS=1`**, in which case the entire normal cache rekeys once. That is a separate mechanism: v3.25.0 also reworded the local-tools wrapper, and the wrapper text is one of the four inputs to `CONFIG_EPOCH`, which every normal cache key folds in (established behavior since v3.23.0, not new here).
-- **Structured-output cache** — **every** row rekeys, alias or literal. The same change also folds the config epoch into the structured key, which it had never included; that gap meant a `CLAUDE_SYSTEM_PROMPT` change did not invalidate structured answers either. Structured caching only exists from v3.24.0, so there is at most one release worth of rows to orphan.
-
-This is deliberate, and it is what makes an alias repoint take effect. Before v3.25.0, changing where an alias pointed (v3.25.0 itself repoints `opus` → `claude-opus-5`) left the cache serving the **old** model's answers under that alias until TTL expiry, because `models.json` is read once at boot while the SQLite cache survives the restart. If you were running with the cache on and repointed an alias in an earlier version, that is why it appeared not to take.
-
-A side effect worth knowing: an alias and its canonical id now **share** a cache slot, since both produce an identical spawn. That is a small hit-rate improvement in steady state.

-// ── active-request counter is paired to the process lifecycle (#180 / #193) ──
-// The counter used to be incremented ~40 lines before the spawn, while its only decrement
-// (cleanup()) is wired to that proc's events — so any SYNCHRONOUS throw in between leaked +1
-// permanently. Driving that fault needs no production hook and no test double: buildCliArgs
-// does `args.push("--allowedTools", ...ALLOWED_TOOLS)`, and a spread of enough elements throws
-// RangeError synchronously, right inside the window.
-//
-// Getting there on Linux needs one more turn of the screw. The spread's cost is per ELEMENT,
-// so the naive form needs ~124k elements ≈ 250KB in one env var — and Linux caps a single env
-// string at MAX_ARG_STRLEN (32 * PAGE_SIZE = 131072 on x86-64), so execve rejects it (E2BIG).
-// Encoding around it fails too: empty items are 1 byte each, but `.filter(Boolean)`
-// (server.mjs:355) strips them, so ALLOWED_TOOLS ends up empty and the spread branch is never
-// entered at all.
-//
-// The lever is the stack: the throw threshold scales with it, and ltBoot spawns the server, so
-// the test owns its argv. Running the child under --stack-size=200 drops the threshold ~5x
-// (~24k elements ≈ 48KB), which fits Linux's limit with room to spare.
-//
-// The threshold is DISCOVERED, in a child under the SAME --stack-size (measuring it in this
-// process would report the parent's stack, which is not the one that matters), then taken with
-// 1.5x margin and hard-asserted under MAX_ARG_STRLEN. A hard-coded count would silently stop
-// triggering on another machine and the test would pass vacuously.
