linux/claude-mode was 3,035 lines. It is now 177: the paths and flags, a
loader, and the command dispatch. Everything else moved, verbatim, into
twelve files under linux/lib/, one per concern - output, core, preflight,
sessions, switch, catalogue, commands, doctor, presets, menu, setup, repair.
The move was done by line range with a check that every original line landed
in exactly one file; the only thing that changed place is the switch's
running-sessions question, which now sits with session detection.
The CLI finds lib/, cm-json.py and cm-vault.sh beside itself, following the
~/.local/bin symlink, so a checkout runs its own code rather than the
installed version's (it used to mix the two). The key helper path written
into settings.json is still the installed one.
linux/install.sh ships bin/lib/, clearing old modules first so a removed one
cannot linger. The package build copies linux/ recursively, which a flat copy
would not.
tests/cli/test_install.sh runs the real installer into a sandbox home: every
file lands, the symlink runs, a reinstall keeps edited presets and drops a
stale module. docs/architecture.md lists the modules.

Every gateway provider is now an entry in providers.json - endpoint and auth
template, how its model list is read, how it is probed before a switch, what
setup asks, which doctor checks apply, and its title, colour and logo -
installed next to the presets and read by all three consumers: the bash CLI
(through cm-json.py), the Windows script, and the bar widget (through
health.json). anthropic stays built in; it is the native login, not a gateway.
Behaviour that differs in kind stays in code, chosen by name from the entry:
catalogue parsers (openrouter, lmstudio, ollama, openai, static), probe rules
(always, lenient, local), and named doctor checks. A provider that reuses them
is an entry and a default preset, with no code. The widget draws providers
from health.json, so a new one needs no QML change and no shell restart.
The existing three are unchanged in behaviour: their blank presets come out
byte-identical from the file, and setup, doctor, models and the picker run the
same checks through the generic paths.
Ollama: local server on :11434, placeholder token, one model for every tier,
models from /api/tags. doctor reads the context each loaded model actually runs
with (/api/ps) and its maximum (/api/show), because Ollama defaults to 4096
tokens unless OLLAMA_CONTEXT_LENGTH is set and silently truncates past it. A
bare model name matches its :latest tag.
Custom: any Anthropic-compatible endpoint. Ships with no address and is refused
until it has one; key optional; models from /v1/models when the endpoint has a
list, and a lenient probe so a proxy without one is not blocked.
Also: preflight (and Set-ClaudeMode on Windows) refuses a preset with no
server address; the server form, setup and set-auth use each provider's own
default URL, key name and placeholder token instead of LM Studio's; the
Windows build gains the no-models and no-address guards it never had.
Tested on Linux against fake Ollama/Custom servers, and on Windows 5.1 in a
USERPROFILE sandbox on winbox.
1.12.0.

macOS ships bash 3.2, and the port used three things it does not have:
mapfile, fractional `read -t`, and GNU `stat -c`. The first two took the
interactive menu down - `mapfile: command not found` in the preset
picker, and an arrow key that parsed as a bare Escape, leaving `[C` in
the tty for zsh to report as a bad pattern.
read_key now reads the escape tail through the terminal itself: icanon
off with min 0 / time 1, so a plain read returns the moment a byte
arrives and gives up after ~0.1s. bash 3.2's `read -t 0` cannot be used
to poll for this - it reports nothing even with bytes buffered (checked
against 3.2.57). CSI sequences are consumed whole, so modified keys like
Ctrl+Right no longer leak their tail either. Verified interactively
under bash 3.2.57 in a pty: arrows, pgup/pgdn, home/end, enter,
backspace, and a bare Escape all parse, with no stray bytes in the tty.
Session listing reads /proc, which macOS does not have; it now says so
rather than silently reporting no running sessions - the answer that
gets people to switch out from under a live session. install.sh swaps
GNU `find -print -quit` for a glob, and the README notes both.

Four changes to the POSIX build, found while getting it working on Omarchy.
Colour follows the desktop theme. The sixteen ANSI slots carry no guarantee
about relative brightness and monochrome themes exploit that: under Omarchy's
Solitude, slot 36 (headings) resolves to #707070 and slot 31 (FAIL) to #565d60,
which against #cacccc body text on a #101315 ground is 3.8:1 and 2.8:1 where the
body text is 11.6:1. Headings rendered as fine print and errors as the quietest
thing on screen. The palette is now derived from the theme's own colors.toml,
with each role measured against the background it will actually be drawn on and
lifted toward the foreground when it falls short - hue kept where the theme has
any, weight substituted where it does not. Headings go 3.8:1 -> 9.4:1 and FAIL
2.8:1 -> 5.2:1. Falls back to the ANSI slots off Omarchy, with the two roles the
slots get wrong corrected.
health.json was only ever written by a switch, so a fresh install had none at
all and any reader had to guess. It is now refreshed by `status` and seeded at
install, and `claude-mode health` forces it. The installer also copies VERSION,
which cm_version() has always read and nothing ever wrote - every health.json
until now reported 0.0.0.
Preflight, because a switch that cannot work does not fail loudly: it succeeds,
and every session started afterwards breaks in a way that points at Claude Code
rather than at here. Keys, the helper, the preset's provider and the server are
all checked before the write. LM Studio is the sharp case - its token is an
inline placeholder, so nothing about the switch needs the server to exist.
Session control, because Claude Code reads settings.json once at startup: a
switch leaves running sessions on the old provider until they are restarted, and
one mid-request can lose that turn outright. `sessions` lists them, `--stop` and
`--restart` act on them behind a confirmation, `--dry-run` shows the plan.
Sessions are found through /proc/<pid>/exe rather than by process name, which
would sweep up every shell that merely mentions claude - including the one this
runs from. Two exclusions: the calling session, and forks of a session. A busy
session spawns children off its own binary that inherit the same exe, and
without filtering those the count climbed and fell with load - it read 2, 5, 11
and 40 for the same two sessions before the parent check went in.
LM Studio is no longer assumed to be on this machine. `preset url` and
`preset auth` move it to a LAN box, a tunnel or a proxy and turn authentication
on, and the probe distinguishes ok / auth / notfound / refused, because "start
the server" and "your key is wrong" are opposite remedies. It is probed wherever
it lives - a sleeping LAN box is exactly as absent as an empty loopback port -
while remote gateways are not, since those being briefly unreachable is the
network's problem and a missing key never fixes itself.
Source of truth so far has been c:\Users\smoido\projects\cli on the Windows
box, which has no git history of its own. This is that tree copied verbatim over
SSH, minus dist/ - the PowerShell build, the POSIX port under linux/, and the
presets both share.
Recorded as its own commit so that everything after it is a reviewable diff
rather than an undifferentiated first drop.
