Two knowledge-preservation fixes. No behavior change: server.mjs gains comments only, verified by `git diff --stat` (comment lines) and an unchanged suite. #200 — structuredHash and dedupKey compute the same value and must NOT be collapsed. They take identical arguments and read as obvious duplicate work, which is how someone "optimises" them into a bug. Their GUARDS differ, verified line by line rather than asserted: structuredHash: if (CACHE_TTL > 0 && !conversationId && !hasCacheControl(...)) dedupKey: (!conversationId && !hasCacheControl(...)) <- no CACHE_TTL CLAUDE_CACHE_TTL defaults to 0, so in the DEFAULT configuration structuredHash is null while dedupKey must still be computed — it drives #153's single-flight stampede protection, which is deliberately independent of response caching. `dedupKey = structuredHash` would silently disable stampede protection by default, in exactly the concurrent-AI-Task case it exists to bound. The comment records that, and says what a safe deduplication would look like if anyone still wants one (compute under the weaker guard, derive under the stronger, add a stampede test first). This was first raised in the #194 review as a cosmetic nit and then RETRACTED by that reviewer after reading the guards — the retraction is the valuable part, so it goes in the code rather than staying in a PR thread. #197 — new "Testing: reaching faults inside server.mjs" section in AGENTS.md. The premise the issue was originally filed on was wrong twice over, and both errors were mine: first that no live-server harness existed (ltBoot has been there all along, and I had used it myself in #191), then that a synchronous fault deep inside spawnClaudeProcess needed a production test hook (it needs --stack-size, which ltBoot already forwards). The section documents the fixture, the --stack-size fault lever with the concrete numbers (~124k element spread threshold at the default stack vs ~24k at --stack-size=200, which is what fits Linux's 131072-byte MAX_ARG_STRLEN so the test RUNS in CI instead of skipping), and the three rules that made it hold: discover the threshold in a child under the same flags, assert the fault actually fired, and wait for the thing you are about to assert rather than a proxy for it. Each rule cites the issue that taught it (#193/#199/#203). Written to be read BEFORE someone concludes a bug class is untestable, since that conclusion has now been reached wrongly twice in this repo. cli.js citation: NOT APPLICABLE — comments only, no wire behavior, no code path, no argv change. Authorized by ADR 0006 as a behaviour-preserving edit; the field set and every request/response contract are byte-identical. Tests: 457 passed, 0 failed (unchanged, as expected for a comments-only diff).

OCP — Open Claude Proxy — Agent Guidelines
Scope: the dtzp555-max/ocp repository.
Audience: any AI coding agent (Claude Code / Cursor / OpenCode / Copilot / Codex / Gemini) touching OCP source.
What this project is
OCP (Open Claude Proxy) is an open-source HTTP gateway that sits between the Claude Code CLI (cli.js) and Anthropic's public API. It forwards, observes, and multiplexes traffic that cli.js already emits — it is explicitly not an extension layer. A secondary role: registering OCP as a local provider inside OpenClaw (a sibling IDE-agnostic tool), so that users running OpenClaw against OCP see the same model list as native Claude Code.
Runtime: Node.js (ESM, .mjs throughout). No build step. No bundler. server.mjs is the single executable entrypoint; ocp and ocp-connect are CLI wrappers.
Stack
- Node.js >=18, native ESM modules
http/httpsbuilt-ins for the proxy core (no Express, no Fastify)models.jsonas the single source of truth for model metadata- GitHub Actions for CI (
alignment.yml,release.yml) ghCLI assumed for PR creation and release automation- No TypeScript. No test framework beyond
test-features.mjs(run vianpm test; CI workflow.github/workflows/test.yml). Keep dependencies minimal.

Testing: reaching faults inside server.mjs
test-features.mjs cannot import server.mjs (it calls server.listen() at top level), and that has twice led to the wrong conclusion that a class of bug is untestable. It isn't. Read this before writing "no regression test is possible here".
There is a real live-server fixture. ltBoot(env, dir, nodeArgs) (around test-features.mjs:990) spawns the actual server.mjs as a child with a fake claude binary, so integration tests cost no quota. ltPost / ltWait / ltFreePort / ltDiag round it out. It already covers boot gates, cache-epoch invalidation across two boots sharing one SQLite store, and system-prompt capture.
--stack-size is a fault lever. ltBoot's third argument passes V8 flags to the child, which puts recursion- and argument-count-limited failures in reach at a much smaller input. #193 needed a synchronous throw deep inside spawnClaudeProcess; buildCliArgs does args.push("--allowedTools", ...ALLOWED_TOOLS), and under --stack-size=200 that spread throws at ~24k elements instead of ~124k — which is what brings the trigger under Linux's MAX_ARG_STRLEN (131072 bytes for a single env string) so the test runs in CI rather than skipping. No production fault hook was needed.
Three rules that made it hold up, all learned the hard way:
- Discover the threshold in a child under the same flags, never in the test process — the parent's stack is not the one that matters.
- Assert that the fault actually fired, not just that the outcome looks right.
#193asserts HTTP 500 and that the body carriescall stack size exceeded; a control mutation (trigger neutered, bug still present) proves the test fails rather than passing vacuously. - Wait for the thing you are about to assert, not a proxy for it. Waiting on
listening onand then asserting a different line is a race (#199); waiting onexitand then readingstderris another (#203— useclosed, which guarantees the pipes drained).
Allocate ports with ltFreePort(). Fixed ports have caused at least one flake here.
Release protocol
OCP follows the machine-readable release_kit: overlay in CLAUDE.md (Iron Rule 5.5). Before any version bump or tag push, re-read that YAML block and walk every item in new_feature_doc_expectations and bootstrap_quirk_policy. Tag push triggers .github/workflows/release.yml, which creates the GitHub Release automatically — do not create the release manually.
Version is sourced from package.json; changelog from CHANGELOG.md; user-facing docs from README.md.
Handoff expectations
A fresh session picking up OCP work should read, in order:
- This file (
AGENTS.md). ALIGNMENT.md— constitution; non-optional.CLAUDE.md— tool-specific instructions and release_kit overlay.docs/adr/— most recent ADRs first; they explain why the current structure exists.- Any active plan under
docs/superpowers/plans/(excludingshipped/which is the archive). ~/.cc-rules/memory/auto/MEMORY.md— cross-machine memory index.
Only after these should the session touch code.
