Subject: [PATCH 01/54] feat: add comprehensive tree explorer integration with
 @-mention support

## Summary

- Add seamless integration with nvim-tree and neo-tree file explorers
- Implement @-mention functionality for files and directories via new ClaudeCodeTreeAdd and ClaudeCodeAdd commands
- Enable Claude to navigate and understand project file structures through visual selection
- Add support for new file creation in diff system with proper directory handling

## New Features

- **Tree Integration**: Context-aware <leader>as keybinding that sends text in normal buffers or adds files from tree explorers
- **@-mention Commands**:
  - `:ClaudeCodeTreeAdd` - Add selected files from tree explorers to Claude context
  - `:ClaudeCodeAdd <path> [start] [end]` - Add files/directories by path with optional line ranges
- **Enhanced Diff System**: Support for creating new files with automatic parent directory creation
- **Visual Selection**: Improved multi-file selection detection for both nvim-tree and neo-tree

## Technical Improvements

- Comprehensive test coverage with dedicated specs for @-mention functionality
- Improved error handling and user feedback for edge cases
- Enhanced build system with Nix integration for consistent development environment
- Code cleanup and maintainability improvements throughout codebase

## Breaking Changes

None - all changes are additive and backward compatible.

 ## Usage
 
 1. **Launch Claude**: Run `:ClaudeCode` to open Claude in a split terminal
-2. **Send context**: Select text and run `:'<,'>ClaudeCodeSend` to send it to Claude
+2. **Send context**:
+   - Select text in visual mode and use `<leader>as` to send it to Claude
+   - In `nvim-tree` or `neo-tree`, press `<leader>as` on a file to add it to Claude's context
 3. **Let Claude work**: Claude can now:
    - See your current file and selections in real-time
    - Open files in your editor
    - Show diffs with proposed changes
    - Access diagnostics and workspace info
 
+## Commands
+
+- `:ClaudeCode` - Toggle the Claude Code terminal window
+- `:ClaudeCodeSend` - Send current visual selection to Claude, or add files from tree explorer
+- `:ClaudeCodeTreeAdd` - Add selected file(s) from tree explorer to Claude context (also available via ClaudeCodeSend)
+- `:ClaudeCodeAdd <file-path> [start-line] [end-line]` - Add a specific file or directory to Claude context by path with optional line range
+
+### Tree Integration
+
+The `<leader>as` keybinding has context-aware behavior:
+
+- **In normal buffers (visual mode)**: Sends selected text to Claude
+- **In nvim-tree/neo-tree buffers**: Adds the file under cursor (or selected files) to Claude's context
+
+This allows you to quickly add entire files to Claude's context for review, refactoring, or discussion.
+
+#### Features
+
+- **Single file**: Place cursor on any file and press `<leader>as`
+- **Multiple files**: Select multiple files (using tree plugin's selection features) and press `<leader>as`
+- **Smart detection**: Automatically detects whether you're in nvim-tree or neo-tree
+- **Error handling**: Clear feedback if no files are selected or if tree plugins aren't available
+
+### Direct File Addition
+
+The `:ClaudeCodeAdd` command allows you to add files or directories directly by path, with optional line range specification:
+
+```vim
+:ClaudeCodeAdd src/main.lua
+:ClaudeCodeAdd ~/projects/myproject/
+:ClaudeCodeAdd ./README.md
+:ClaudeCodeAdd src/main.lua 50 100    " Lines 50-100 only
+:ClaudeCodeAdd config.lua 25          " From line 25 to end of file
+```
+
+#### Features
+
+- **Path completion**: Tab completion for file and directory paths
+- **Path expansion**: Supports `~` for home directory and relative paths
+- **Line range support**: Optionally specify start and end lines for files (ignored for directories)
+- **Validation**: Checks that files and directories exist before adding, validates line numbers
+- **Flexible**: Works with both individual files and entire directories
+
+#### Examples
+
+```vim
+" Add entire files
+:ClaudeCodeAdd src/components/Header.tsx
+:ClaudeCodeAdd ~/.config/nvim/init.lua
+
+" Add entire directories (line numbers ignored)
+:ClaudeCodeAdd tests/
+:ClaudeCodeAdd ../other-project/
+
+" Add specific line ranges
+:ClaudeCodeAdd src/main.lua 50 100        " Lines 50 through 100
+:ClaudeCodeAdd config.lua 25              " From line 25 to end of file
+:ClaudeCodeAdd utils.py 1 50              " First 50 lines
+:ClaudeCodeAdd README.md 10 20            " Just lines 10-20
+
+" Path expansion works with line ranges
+:ClaudeCodeAdd ~/project/src/app.js 100 200
+:ClaudeCodeAdd ./relative/path.lua 30
+```
+
 ## How It Works
 
 This plugin creates a WebSocket server that Claude Code CLI connects to, implementing the same protocol as the official VS Code extension. When you launch Claude, it automatically detects Neovim and gains full access to your editor.

+### Terminal Auto-Close Behavior
+
+The `auto_close` option controls what happens when Claude commands finish:
+
+**When `auto_close = true` (default):**
+
+- Terminal automatically closes after command completion
+- Error notifications shown for failed commands (non-zero exit codes)
+- Clean workflow for quick command execution
+
+**When `auto_close = false`:**
+
+- Terminal stays open after command completion
+- Allows reviewing command output and any error messages
+- Useful for debugging or when you want to see detailed output
+
+```lua
+terminal = {
+  provider = "snacks",
+  auto_close = false, -- Keep terminal open to review output
+}
+```
+
 ## Troubleshooting
 
 - **Claude not connecting?** Check `:ClaudeCodeStatus` and verify lock file exists in `~/.claude/ide/`

Subject: [PATCH 04/54] fix(diff): ensure proposed diff buffer inherits
 original filetype (#20)

* Adds  helper and propagates filetype to proposed buffers to restore syntax highlighting
* Cleans up duplicate code and stray newline
* Makes  CI-friendly by defining global  to avoid nested nix shells
* Updates unit tests to cover filetype propagation

Subject: [PATCH 05/54] feat: add auto terminal provider detection

Add automatic terminal provider detection that tries snacks first,
then falls back to native terminal silently. Update default config
to use "auto" provider for better user experience.

Subject: [PATCH 07/54] feat: implement bufhidden=hide for native terminal
 toggle

Partially addresses #16 by implementing the core mechanism to preserve
terminal processes when hiding windows. The native terminal provider now
sets bufhidden=hide before closing windows, preventing Neovim from
killing the terminal job when the window is closed.

- Add hide_terminal() helper that sets bufhidden=hide before window close
- Add show_hidden_terminal() to create windows for existing buffers
- Add is_terminal_visible() for buffer visibility detection
- Update toggle() logic to use hide/show instead of close/create
- Add comprehensive test suite for toggle behavior verification
- Optimize logger usage with module-level require

This change enables process preservation during window hiding, laying
the groundwork for full toggle behavior consistency with snacks provider.

Subject: [PATCH 08/54] feat: add ClaudeCodeFocus command for smart toggle
 behavior

- Add ClaudeCodeFocus command with focus-aware toggle logic
- Change ClaudeCode to simple show/hide toggle behavior
- Add <leader>af keybinding for focus command
- Implement both toggle modes in native and snacks providers
- Update documentation and dev config with new command
- Add comprehensive tests for both toggle behaviors

Fixes #16: Keep Claude Code running when toggling
Fixes #35: Improve terminal toggle user experience

@@ -130,6 +130,35 @@ The `:ClaudeCodeAdd` command allows you to add files or directories directly by
 - **Validation**: Checks that files and directories exist before adding, validates line numbers
 - **Flexible**: Works with both individual files and entire directories
 
+## Working with Diffs
+
+When Claude proposes changes to your files, the plugin opens a native Neovim diff view showing the original file alongside the proposed changes. You have several options to accept or reject these changes:
+
+### Accepting Changes
+
+- **`:w` (save)** - Accept the changes and apply them to your file
+- **`<leader>da`** - Accept the changes using the dedicated keymap
+
+You can edit the proposed changes in the right-hand diff buffer before accepting them. This allows you to modify Claude's suggestions or make additional tweaks before applying the final version to your file.
+
+Both methods signal Claude Code to apply the changes to your file, after which the plugin automatically reloads the affected buffers to show the updated content.
+
+### Rejecting Changes
+
+- **`:q` or `:close`** - Close the diff view to reject the changes
+- **`<leader>dq`** - Reject changes using the dedicated keymap
+- **`:bdelete` or `:bwipeout`** - Delete the diff buffer to reject changes
+
+When you reject changes, the diff view closes and the original file remains unchanged.
+
+### Accepting/Rejecting from Claude Code Terminal
+
+You can also navigate to the Claude Code terminal window and accept or reject diffs directly from within Claude's interface. This provides an alternative way to manage diffs without using the Neovim-specific keymaps.
+
+### How It Works
+
+The plugin uses a signal-based approach where accepting or rejecting a diff sends a message to Claude Code rather than directly modifying files. This ensures consistency and allows Claude Code to handle the actual file operations while the plugin manages the user interface and buffer reloading.
+

Subject: [PATCH 10/54] feat: diagnostics tool implementation (#34)

* feat: complete implementation of getDiagnostics tool

* refactor(getDiagnostics): remove pcall from logger import

* refactor(getDiagnostics): use alternate json encode

We're also passing nil explicitly to get diagnostics from all buffers

* refactor(getDiagnostics): tweak file scheme handling, assume URI input

* fix(getDiagnostics): remove Neovim context from description

Subject: [PATCH 11/54] feat: add oil.nvim support for file selection (#27)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* feat: add oil.nvim support for file selection

- Add oil.nvim integration to support file selection with @-mention
- Support both visual selection and single file under cursor
- Handle directories, files, and symbolic links properly
- Add comprehensive unit tests for oil.nvim integration
- Update README documentation to include oil.nvim support

🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: add missing oil.nvim filetype checks for window selection

- Add oil filetype check in diff.lua's _find_main_editor_window()
- Add oil filetype check in open_file.lua's find_main_editor_window()
- Add oil filetype check in init.lua's ClaudeCodeSend command

These changes ensure oil.nvim buffers are properly excluded when
searching for main editor windows, preventing diff views and file
opens from appearing in the oil explorer window.

* fix: remove unnecessary variable

* fix: run formatter

 The `<leader>as` keybinding has context-aware behavior:
 
 - **In normal buffers (visual mode)**: Sends selected text to Claude
-- **In nvim-tree/neo-tree buffers**: Adds the file under cursor (or selected files) to Claude's context
+- **In nvim-tree/neo-tree/oil.nvim buffers**: Adds the file under cursor (or selected files) to Claude's context
 
 This allows you to quickly add entire files to Claude's context for review, refactoring, or discussion.
 
 #### Features
 
 - **Single file**: Place cursor on any file and press `<leader>as`
-- **Multiple files**: Select multiple files (using tree plugin's selection features) and press `<leader>as`
-- **Smart detection**: Automatically detects whether you're in nvim-tree or neo-tree
+- **Multiple files**: Select multiple files (using tree plugin's selection features or visual selection in oil.nvim) and press `<leader>as`
+- **Smart detection**: Automatically detects whether you're in nvim-tree, neo-tree, or oil.nvim
 - **Error handling**: Clear feedback if no files are selected or if tree plugins aren't available

+
+### Configuration Options Explained
+
+#### Server Options
+
+- **`port_range`**: Port range for the WebSocket server that Claude connects to
+- **`auto_start`**: Whether to automatically start the integration when Neovim starts
+- **`terminal_cmd`**: Override the default "claude" command (useful for custom Claude installations)
+- **`log_level`**: Controls verbosity of plugin logs
+
+#### Selection Tracking
+
+- **`track_selection`**: Enables real-time selection updates sent to Claude
+- **`visual_demotion_delay_ms`**: Time to wait before switching from visual selection to cursor position tracking
+
+#### Connection Management
+
+- **`connection_wait_delay`**: Prevents overwhelming Claude with rapid @ mentions after connection
+- **`connection_timeout`**: How long to wait for Claude to connect before giving up
+- **`queue_timeout`**: How long to keep queued @ mentions before discarding them
+
+#### Terminal Configuration
+
+- **`split_side`**: Which side to open the terminal split (`"left"` or `"right"`)
+- **`split_width_percentage`**: Terminal width as a fraction of screen width (0.1 = 10%, 0.5 = 50%)
+- **`provider`**: Terminal implementation to use:
+  - `"auto"`: Try snacks.nvim, fallback to native
+  - `"snacks"`: Force snacks.nvim (requires folke/snacks.nvim)
+  - `"native"`: Use built-in Neovim terminal
+- **`show_native_term_exit_tip`**: Show help text for exiting native terminal
+- **`auto_close`**: Automatically close terminal when commands finish
+
+#### Diff Options
+
+- **`auto_close_on_accept`**: Close diff view after accepting changes with `:w` or `<leader>da`
+- **`show_diff_stats`**: Display diff statistics (lines added/removed)
+- **`vertical_split`**: Use vertical split layout for diffs
+- **`open_in_current_tab`**: Open diffs in current tab instead of creating new tabs
+

-### Terminal Auto-Close Behavior
-
-The `auto_close` option controls what happens when Claude commands finish:
-
-**When `auto_close = true` (default):**
-
-- Terminal automatically closes after command completion
-- Error notifications shown for failed commands (non-zero exit codes)
-- Clean workflow for quick command execution
+#### Power User Configuration
 
-**When `auto_close = false`:**

 The irony isn't lost on me: I used AI to reverse-engineer an AI tool, then used AI to build a plugin for AI.

 You can also navigate to the Claude Code terminal window and accept or reject diffs directly from within Claude's interface. This provides an alternative way to manage diffs without using the Neovim-specific keymaps.
 
+### Customizing Diff Keymaps
+
+The diff keymaps are configured in the LazyVim spec and can be customized by modifying the `keys` table:
+
+```lua
+{
+  "coder/claudecode.nvim",
+  config = true,
+  keys = {
+    -- ... other keymaps ...
+
+    -- Customize diff keymaps to avoid conflicts (e.g., with debugger)
+    { "<leader>ya", "<cmd>ClaudeCodeDiffAccept<cr>", desc = "Accept diff" },
+    { "<leader>yn", "<cmd>ClaudeCodeDiffDeny<cr>", desc = "Deny diff" },
+
+    -- Or disable them entirely by omitting them from the keys table
+  },
+}
+```
+
+The commands `ClaudeCodeDiffAccept` and `ClaudeCodeDiffDeny` work only in diff buffers created by the plugin and will show a warning if used elsewhere.
+
 ### How It Works
 
 The plugin uses a signal-based approach where accepting or rejecting a diff sends a message to Claude Code rather than directly modifying files. This ensures consistency and allows Claude Code to handle the actual file operations while the plugin manages the user interface and buffer reloading.

+## Release Process
+
+### Version Updates
+
+When updating the version number for a new release, you must update **ALL** of these files:
+
+1. **`lua/claudecode/init.lua`** - Main version table:
+
+   ```lua
+   M.version = {
+     major = 0,
+     minor = 2,  -- Update this
+     patch = 0,  -- Update this
+     prerelease = nil,  -- Remove for stable releases
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **`scripts/claude_interactive.sh`** - Multiple client version references:
+
+   - Line ~52: `"version": "0.2.0"` (handshake)
+   - Line ~223: `"version": "0.2.0"` (initialize)
+   - Line ~309: `"version": "0.2.0"` (reconnect)
+
+3. **`scripts/lib_claude.sh`** - ClaudeCodeNvim version:
+
+   - Line ~120: `"version": "0.2.0"` (init message)
+
+4. **`CHANGELOG.md`** - Add new release section with:
+   - Release date
+   - Features with PR references
+   - Bug fixes with PR references
+   - Development improvements
+
+### Release Commands
+
+```bash
+# Get merged PRs since last version
+gh pr list --state merged --base main --json number,title,mergedAt,url --jq 'sort_by(.mergedAt) | reverse'
+
+# Get commit history
+git log --oneline v0.1.0..HEAD
+
+# Always run before committing
+make
+
+# Verify no old version references remain
+rg "0\.1\.0" .  # Should only show CHANGELOG.md historical entries
+```
+
 ## CRITICAL: Pre-commit Requirements
 
 **ALWAYS run `make` before committing any changes.** This runs code quality checks and formatting that must pass for CI to succeed. Never skip this step - many PRs fail CI because contributors don't run the build commands before committing.

-The extensions register these tools that Claude can (theoretically) call:
+The VS Code extension registers 12 tools that Claude can call. Here's the complete specification:
 
-### Core Tools
+### 1. openFile
 
-1. **openFile** - Open a file and optionally select text
+**Description**: Open a file in the editor and optionally select a range of text
 
-   ```json
-   {
-     "filePath": "/path/to/file.js",
-     "startText": "function hello", // Find and select from this text
-     "endText": "}" // To this text
-   }
-   ```
+**Input**:
 
-2. **openDiff** - Show a diff and wait for user action (blocking!)
+```json
+{
+  "filePath": "/path/to/file.js",
+  "preview": false,
+  "startText": "function hello",
+  "endText": "}",
+  "selectToEndOfLine": false,
+  "makeFrontmost": true
+}
+```
+

+**Notes**:
 
-3. **getCurrentSelection** - Get the current text selection
-4. **getOpenEditors** - List all open files
-5. **getWorkspaceFolders** - Get project folders
-6. **getDiagnostics** - Get errors/warnings from the IDE
-7. **saveDocument** - Save a file
-8. **close_tab** - Close a tab by name (note the inconsistent naming!)
+- All code executed will persist across calls unless the kernel is restarted
+- Avoid declaring variables or modifying kernel state unless explicitly requested
+- Only available when working with Jupyter notebooks
+- Can return multiple content types including text output and images
 
 ### Implementation Notes
 
 - Most tools follow camelCase naming except `close_tab` (uses snake_case)
-- The `openDiff` tool is unique - it's **blocking** and waits for user interaction
+- The `openDiff` tool is **blocking** and waits for user interaction
 - Tools return MCP-formatted responses with content arrays
-- There's also `executeCode` for Jupyter notebooks in the VS Code extension
+- All schemas use Zod validation in the VS Code extension
+- Selection-related tools work with the current editor state

+## Requirements
+
+- Neovim >= 0.8.0
+- [Claude Code CLI](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) installed
+- [folke/snacks.nvim](https://github.com/folke/snacks.nvim) for enhanced terminal support
+
+## Quick Demo

+
+" Send visual selection as context
+:'<,'>ClaudeCodeSend
+
+" Claude can open files, show diffs, and more
+```
 
 ## Usage
 
 1. **Launch Claude**: Run `:ClaudeCode` to open Claude in a split terminal
 2. **Send context**:
    - Select text in visual mode and use `<leader>as` to send it to Claude
-   - In `nvim-tree` or `neo-tree`, press `<leader>as` on a file to add it to Claude's context
+   - In `nvim-tree`/`neo-tree`/`oil.nvim`, press `<leader>as` on a file to add it to Claude's context
 3. **Let Claude work**: Claude can now:
    - See your current file and selections in real-time
    - Open files in your editor
    - Show diffs with proposed changes
    - Access diagnostics and workspace info
 
-## Commands
-
-- `:ClaudeCode [arguments]` - Toggle the Claude Code terminal window (simple show/hide behavior)
-- `:ClaudeCodeFocus [arguments]` - Smart focus/toggle Claude terminal (switches to terminal if not focused, hides if focused)
-- `:ClaudeCode --resume` - Resume a previous Claude conversation
-- `:ClaudeCode --continue` - Continue Claude conversation
-- `:ClaudeCodeSend` - Send current visual selection to Claude, or add files from tree explorer
-- `:ClaudeCodeTreeAdd` - Add selected file(s) from tree explorer to Claude context (also available via ClaudeCodeSend)
-- `:ClaudeCodeAdd <file-path> [start-line] [end-line]` - Add a specific file or directory to Claude context by path with optional line range
-- `:ClaudeCodeDiffAccept` - Accept the current diff changes (equivalent to `<leader>aa`)
-- `:ClaudeCodeDiffDeny` - Deny/reject the current diff changes (equivalent to `<leader>ad`)
-
-### Toggle Behavior
-
-- **`:ClaudeCode`** - Simple toggle: Always show/hide terminal regardless of current focus
-- **`:ClaudeCodeFocus`** - Smart focus: Focus terminal if not active, hide if currently focused
-
-### Tree Integration
-
-The `<leader>as` keybinding has context-aware behavior:
+## Key Commands
 
-- **In normal buffers (visual mode)**: Sends selected text to Claude
-- **In nvim-tree/neo-tree/oil.nvim buffers**: Adds the file under cursor (or selected files) to Claude's context
-
-This allows you to quickly add entire files to Claude's context for review, refactoring, or discussion.
-
-#### Features
-
-- **Single file**: Place cursor on any file and press `<leader>as`
-- **Multiple files**: Select multiple files (using tree plugin's selection features or visual selection in oil.nvim) and press `<leader>as`
-- **Smart detection**: Automatically detects whether you're in nvim-tree, neo-tree, or oil.nvim
-- **Error handling**: Clear feedback if no files are selected or if tree plugins aren't available
-
-### Direct File Addition
-
-The `:ClaudeCodeAdd` command allows you to add files or directories directly by path, with optional line range specification:
-
-```vim
-:ClaudeCodeAdd src/main.lua
-:ClaudeCodeAdd ~/projects/myproject/
-:ClaudeCodeAdd ./README.md
-:ClaudeCodeAdd src/main.lua 50 100    " Lines 50-100 only
-:ClaudeCodeAdd config.lua 25          " Only line 25
-```
-
-#### Features
-
-- **Path completion**: Tab completion for file and directory paths
-- **Path expansion**: Supports `~` for home directory and relative paths
-- **Line range support**: Optionally specify start and end lines for files (ignored for directories)
-- **Validation**: Checks that files and directories exist before adding, validates line numbers
-- **Flexible**: Works with both individual files and entire directories
+- `:ClaudeCode` - Toggle the Claude Code terminal window
+- `:ClaudeCodeFocus` - Smart focus/toggle Claude terminal
+- `:ClaudeCodeSend` - Send current visual selection to Claude
+- `:ClaudeCodeAdd <file-path> [start-line] [end-line]` - Add specific file to Claude context with optional line range
+- `:ClaudeCodeDiffAccept` - Accept diff changes
+- `:ClaudeCodeDiffDeny` - Reject diff changes
 
 ## Working with Diffs
 
-When Claude proposes changes to your files, the plugin opens a native Neovim diff view showing the original file alongside the proposed changes. You have several options to accept or reject these changes:
-
-### Accepting Changes
-
-- **`:w` (save)** - Accept the changes and apply them to your file
-- **`<leader>aa`** - Accept the changes using the dedicated keymap (configured in LazyVim spec)
-
-You can edit the proposed changes in the right-hand diff buffer before accepting them. This allows you to modify Claude's suggestions or make additional tweaks before applying the final version to your file.
-
-Both methods signal Claude Code to apply the changes to your file, after which the plugin automatically reloads the affected buffers to show the updated content.
+When Claude proposes changes, the plugin opens a native Neovim diff view:
 
-### Rejecting Changes
+- **Accept**: `:w` (save) or `<leader>aa`
+- **Reject**: `:q` or `<leader>ad`
 
-- **`:q` or `:close`** - Close the diff view to reject the changes
-- **`<leader>ad`** - Reject changes using the dedicated keymap (configured in LazyVim spec)
-- **`:bdelete` or `:bwipeout`** - Delete the diff buffer to reject changes
-
-When you reject changes, the diff view closes and the original file remains unchanged.
-
-### Accepting/Rejecting from Claude Code Terminal
-
-You can also navigate to the Claude Code terminal window and accept or reject diffs directly from within Claude's interface. This provides an alternative way to manage diffs without using the Neovim-specific keymaps.
-
-### Customizing Diff Keymaps
-
-The diff keymaps are configured in the LazyVim spec and can be customized by modifying the `keys` table:
-
-```lua
-{
-  "coder/claudecode.nvim",
-  config = true,
-  keys = {
-    -- ... other keymaps ...
-
-    -- Customize diff keymaps to avoid conflicts (e.g., with debugger)
-    { "<leader>ya", "<cmd>ClaudeCodeDiffAccept<cr>", desc = "Accept diff" },
-    { "<leader>yn", "<cmd>ClaudeCodeDiffDeny<cr>", desc = "Deny diff" },
-
-    -- Or disable them entirely by omitting them from the keys table
-  },
-}
-```
-
-The commands `ClaudeCodeDiffAccept` and `ClaudeCodeDiffDeny` work only in diff buffers created by the plugin and will show a warning if used elsewhere.
-
-### How It Works
-
-The plugin uses a signal-based approach where accepting or rejecting a diff sends a message to Claude Code rather than directly modifying files. This ensures consistency and allows Claude Code to handle the actual file operations while the plugin manages the user interface and buffer reloading.
-
-#### Examples
-
-```vim
-" Add entire files
-:ClaudeCodeAdd src/components/Header.tsx
-:ClaudeCodeAdd ~/.config/nvim/init.lua
-
-" Add entire directories (line numbers ignored)
-:ClaudeCodeAdd tests/
-:ClaudeCodeAdd ../other-project/
-
-" Add specific line ranges
-:ClaudeCodeAdd src/main.lua 50 100        " Lines 50 through 100
-:ClaudeCodeAdd config.lua 25              " Only line 25
-:ClaudeCodeAdd utils.py 1 50              " First 50 lines
-:ClaudeCodeAdd README.md 10 20            " Just lines 10-20
-
-" Path expansion works with line ranges
-:ClaudeCodeAdd ~/project/src/app.js 100 200
-:ClaudeCodeAdd ./relative/path.lua 30
-```
+You can edit Claude's suggestions before accepting them.
 
 ## How It Works
 
 This plugin creates a WebSocket server that Claude Code CLI connects to, implementing the same protocol as the official VS Code extension. When you launch Claude, it automatically detects Neovim and gains full access to your editor.
 
-### The Protocol
-
-The extensions use a WebSocket-based variant of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that only Claude Code supports. The plugin:
+The protocol uses a WebSocket-based variant of MCP (Model Context Protocol) that:
 
 1. Creates a WebSocket server on a random port
 2. Writes a lock file to `~/.claude/ide/[port].lock` with connection info
 3. Sets environment variables that tell Claude where to connect
 4. Implements MCP tools that Claude can call

+- **Lock File Discovery**: Tokens stored in `~/.claude/ide/[port].lock` for Claude CLI

 Test files follow the pattern `*_spec.lua` or `*_test.lua` and use the busted framework.
 
+### Test Organization Principles
+
+- **Isolation**: Each test should be independent and not rely on external state
+- **Mocking**: Use comprehensive mocking for vim APIs and external dependencies
+- **Coverage**: Aim for both positive and negative test cases, edge cases included
+- **Performance**: Tests should run quickly to encourage frequent execution
+- **Clarity**: Test names should clearly describe what behavior is being verified
+
+## Authentication Testing
+
+The plugin implements authentication using UUID v4 tokens that are generated for each server session and stored in lock files. This ensures secure connections between Claude CLI and the Neovim WebSocket server.
+
+### Testing Authentication Features
+
+**Lock File Authentication Tests** (`tests/lockfile_test.lua`):
+
+- Auth token generation and uniqueness validation
+- Lock file creation with authentication tokens
+- Reading auth tokens from existing lock files
+- Error handling for missing or invalid tokens
+
+**WebSocket Handshake Authentication Tests** (`tests/unit/server/handshake_spec.lua`):
+
+- Valid authentication token acceptance
+- Invalid/missing token rejection
+- Edge cases (empty tokens, malformed headers, length limits)
+- Case-insensitive header handling
+
+**Server Integration Tests** (`tests/unit/server_spec.lua`):
+
+- Server startup with authentication tokens
+- Auth token state management during server lifecycle
+- Token validation throughout server operations
+
+**End-to-End Authentication Tests** (`tests/integration/mcp_tools_spec.lua`):
+
+- Complete authentication flow from server start to tool execution
+- Authentication state persistence across operations
+- Concurrent operations with authentication enabled
+
+### Manual Authentication Testing
+
+**Test Script Authentication Support**:
+
+```bash
+# Test scripts automatically detect and use authentication tokens
+cd scripts/
+./claude_interactive.sh  # Automatically reads auth token from lock file
+```
+
+**Authentication Flow Testing**:
+
+1. Start the plugin: `:ClaudeCodeStart`
+2. Check lock file contains `authToken`: `cat ~/.claude/ide/*.lock | jq .authToken`
+3. Test WebSocket connection with auth: Use test scripts in `scripts/` directory
+4. Verify authentication in logs: Set `log_level = "debug"` in config
+
+**Testing Authentication Failures**:
+
+```bash
+# Test invalid auth token (should fail)
+websocat ws://localhost:PORT --header "x-claude-code-ide-authorization: invalid-token"
+
+# Test missing auth header (should fail)
+websocat ws://localhost:PORT
+
+# Test valid auth token (should succeed)
+websocat ws://localhost:PORT --header "x-claude-code-ide-authorization: $(cat ~/.claude/ide/*.lock | jq -r .authToken)"
+```
+
+### Authentication Logging
+
+Enable detailed authentication logging by setting:
+
+```lua
+require("claudecode").setup({
+  log_level = "debug"  -- Shows auth token generation, validation, and failures
+})
+```
+
+Log levels for authentication events:
+
+- **DEBUG**: Server startup authentication state, client connections, handshake processing, auth token details
+- **WARN**: Authentication failures during handshake
+- **ERROR**: Auth token generation failures, handshake response errors
+
+### Logging Best Practices
+
+- **Connection Events**: Use DEBUG level for routine connection establishment/teardown
+- **Authentication Flow**: Use DEBUG for successful auth, WARN for failures
+- **User-Facing Events**: Use INFO sparingly for events users need to know about
+- **System Errors**: Use ERROR for failures that require user attention
+
 ## Development Notes
 
+### Technical Requirements
+
 - Plugin requires Neovim >= 0.8.0
 - Uses only Neovim built-ins for WebSocket implementation (vim.loop, vim.json, vim.schedule)
-- Lock files are created at `~/.claude/ide/[port].lock` for Claude CLI discovery
-- WebSocket server only accepts local connections for security
+- Zero external dependencies for core functionality
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+- WebSocket server only accepts local connections (127.0.0.1) for security
+- Authentication tokens are UUID v4 with enhanced entropy
+- Lock files created at `~/.claude/ide/[port].lock` for Claude CLI discovery
+- All authentication events are logged for security auditing
+
+### Performance Optimizations
+
 - Selection tracking is debounced to reduce overhead
+- WebSocket frame processing optimized for JSON-RPC payload sizes
+- Connection pooling and cleanup to prevent resource leaks
+
+### Integration Support
+
 - Terminal integration supports both snacks.nvim and native Neovim terminal
+- Compatible with popular file explorers (nvim-tree, oil.nvim)
+- Visual selection tracking across different selection modes

-## CRITICAL: Pre-commit Requirements
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Pre-commit Requirements
 
 **ALWAYS run `make` before committing any changes.** This runs code quality checks and formatting that must pass for CI to succeed. Never skip this step - many PRs fail CI because contributors don't run the build commands before committing.
+
+### Recommended Development Flow
+
+1. **Start Development**: Use existing tests and documentation to understand the system
+2. **Make Changes**: Follow existing patterns and conventions in the codebase
+3. **Validate Work**: Run `make` to ensure formatting, linting, and tests pass
+4. **Document Changes**: Update relevant documentation (this file, PROTOCOL.md, etc.)
+5. **Commit**: Only commit after successful `make` execution
+
+### Code Quality Standards
+
+- **Test Coverage**: Maintain comprehensive test coverage (currently 314+ tests)
+- **Zero Warnings**: All code must pass luacheck with 0 warnings/errors
+- **Consistent Formatting**: Use `nix fmt` or `stylua` for consistent code style
+- **Documentation**: Update CLAUDE.md for architectural changes, PROTOCOL.md for protocol changes

Subject: [PATCH 22/54] feat: complete MCP tools compliance with VS Code
 extension specs (#57)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* feat: implement complete MCP tools compliance with VS Code extension specs

Complete implementation of MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool compliance by:
- Adding 2 missing tools from VS Code extension
- Converting all tool outputs to MCP-compliant format
- Exposing internal tools via MCP while preserving existing functionality
- Comprehensive test suite updates with robust JSON handling
- Updated documentation to reflect 100% VS Code compatibility

- **getLatestSelection**: Get most recent text selection (different from getCurrentSelection)
- **closeAllDiffTabs**: Close all diff-related tabs/windows with VS Code-compatible output format

All tools now return MCP-compliant format: `{content: [{type: "text", text: "JSON-stringified-data"}]}`

- **checkDocumentDirty**: Added schema for MCP exposure, success/failure JSON responses
- **saveDocument**: Added schema for MCP exposure, detailed success information
- **getWorkspaceFolders**: Added schema for MCP exposure, VS Code-compatible structure
- **getOpenEditors**: Restructured from `{editors: [...]}` to `{tabs: [...]}` with all VS Code fields
- **getCurrentSelection**: Enhanced with proper fallback behavior and MCP format
- **openFile**: Added missing parameters (preview, selectToEndOfLine, makeFrontmost, text selection)
- **closeTab**: Updated format while keeping internal-only (per Claude Code requirement)

- **Text Selection in openFile**: Full implementation of startText/endText pattern matching
- **Conditional Output**: openFile returns simple vs detailed responses based on makeFrontmost
- **Language Detection**: getOpenEditors includes proper languageId field mapping
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive JSON-RPC error responses throughout

- **Robust JSON encoder/decoder**: Custom implementation supporting nested objects and special keys
- **Comprehensive test coverage**: All new tools with unit tests
- **Updated test expectations**: All existing tests adapted to MCP format
- **Format validation**: Tests verify exact VS Code extension compatibility

- **CLAUDE.md**: Complete rewrite of MCP tools section with 100% compliance status
- **Development Guidelines**: Added MCP tool development patterns and troubleshooting
- **Quality Standards**: Updated to reflect 320+ tests with 100% success rate
- **Protocol Compliance**: New section documenting VS Code extension feature parity

- **Backward compatibility**: No breaking changes to existing API
- **VS Code alignment**: Output formats match official VS Code extension exactly
- **Internal tools preserved**: close_tab remains internal as required by Claude Code architecture

- ✅ 320 tests passing (0 failures, 0 errors)
- ✅ All linting checks passing (0 warnings, 0 errors)
- ✅ Full MCP protocol compliance
- ✅ VS Code extension feature parity achieved

Change-Id: Ic1bd33aadb7fa45d64d4aba208acf37b2c9779cb
Signed-off-by: Thomas Kosiewski <tk@coder.com>

* fix: address PR review comments for MCP tools compliance

- Fix closeAllDiffTabs potential duplicate window closing by using set-based approach instead of array
- Add comprehensive test coverage for openFile parameters (makeFrontmost, preview mode, line/text selection)
- Update CLAUDE.md documentation to mention endLine parameter for openFile tool
- Enhance JSON encoder/decoder in test suite with proper escape sequence handling
- Add missing vim API mocks for complex openFile functionality testing

All 325 tests now pass with complete coverage of new MCP tool features.

Change-Id: I15bceb2bb44552205ea63c5ef1cb83722f7b5893
Signed-off-by: Thomas Kosiewski <tk@coder.com>

* fix: correct off-by-one indexing error in openFile text pattern search

Address Copilot review comment: when searching for endText pattern,
line_idx is already the correct 1-based index for the lines array,
so accessing lines[line_idx + 1] was incorrect.

Changed to lines[line_idx] to access the current line directly.

@@ -274,9 +342,86 @@ rg "0\.1\.0" .  # Should only show CHANGELOG.md historical entries
 4. **Document Changes**: Update relevant documentation (this file, PROTOCOL.md, etc.)
 5. **Commit**: Only commit after successful `make` execution
 
+### MCP Tool Development Guidelines
+
+**Adding New Tools**:
+
+1. **Study Existing Patterns**: Review `lua/claudecode/tools/` for consistent structure
+2. **Implement Handler**: Return MCP format: `{content: [{type: "text", text: JSON}]}`
+3. **Add JSON Schema**: Define parameters and expose via MCP (if needed)
+4. **Create Tests**: Both unit tests and integration tests required
+5. **Update Documentation**: Add to this file's MCP tools list
+
+**Tool Testing Pattern**:
+
+```lua
+-- All tools should return MCP-compliant format
+local result = tool_handler(params)
+expect(result).to_be_table()
+expect(result.content).to_be_table()
+expect(result.content[1].type).to_be("text")
+local parsed = json_decode(result.content[1].text)
+-- Validate parsed structure matches VS Code extension
+```
+
+**Error Handling Standard**:
+
+```lua
+-- Use consistent JSON-RPC error format
+error({
+  code = -32602,  -- Invalid params
+  message = "Description of the issue",
+  data = "Additional context"
+})
+```
+
 ### Code Quality Standards
 
-- **Test Coverage**: Maintain comprehensive test coverage (currently 314+ tests)
+- **Test Coverage**: Maintain comprehensive test coverage (currently **320+ tests**, 100% success rate)
 - **Zero Warnings**: All code must pass luacheck with 0 warnings/errors
+- **MCP Compliance**: All tools must return proper MCP format with JSON-stringified content
+- **VS Code Compatibility**: New tools must match VS Code extension behavior exactly
 - **Consistent Formatting**: Use `nix fmt` or `stylua` for consistent code style
 - **Documentation**: Update CLAUDE.md for architectural changes, PROTOCOL.md for protocol changes
+
+### Development Quality Gates
+
+1. **`make check`** - Syntax and linting (0 warnings required)
+2. **`make test`** - All tests passing (320/320 success rate required)
+3. **`make format`** - Consistent code formatting
+4. **MCP Validation** - Tools return proper format structure
+5. **Integration Test** - End-to-end protocol flow verification
+
+## Development Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Test Failures with LUA_PATH**:
+
+```bash
+# Tests can't find modules - use proper LUA_PATH
+export LUA_PATH="./lua/?.lua;./lua/?/init.lua;./?.lua;./?/init.lua;$LUA_PATH"
+busted tests/unit/specific_test.lua
+```
+
+**JSON Format Issues**:
+
+- Ensure all tools return: `{content: [{type: "text", text: "JSON-string"}]}`
+- Use `vim.json.encode()` for proper JSON stringification
+- Test JSON parsing with custom test decoder in `tests/busted_setup.lua`
+
+**MCP Tool Registration**:
+
+- Tools with `schema = nil` are internal-only
+- Tools with schema are exposed via MCP
+- Check `lua/claudecode/tools/init.lua` for registration patterns
+
+**Authentication Testing**:
+
+```bash
+# Verify auth token generation
+cat ~/.claude/ide/*.lock | jq .authToken
+
+# Test WebSocket connection
+websocat ws://localhost:PORT --header "x-claude-code-ide-authorization: $(cat ~/.claude/ide/*.lock | jq -r .authToken)"

+### Integration Testing with Fixtures
+
+When adding support for new integrations (file explorers, terminals, etc.), you **must** provide a fixture configuration for testing:
+
+**Requirements**:
+- Complete Neovim configuration in `fixtures/[integration-name]/`
+- Include plugin dependencies and proper setup
+- Add `dev-claudecode.lua` with development keybindings
+- Test all relevant claudecode.nvim features with the integration
+
+**Usage**:
+```bash
+# Source fixture aliases
+source fixtures/nvim-aliases.sh
+
+# Test with specific integration
+vv nvim-tree  # Start Neovim with nvim-tree configuration
+vv oil        # Start Neovim with oil.nvim configuration
+vv netrw      # Start Neovim with built-in netrw configuration
+
+# List available configurations
+list-configs
+```
+
+**Example fixture structure** (`fixtures/my-integration/`):
+```
+my-integration/
+├── init.lua                    # Main Neovim config
+├── lua/
+│   ├── config/
+│   │   └── lazy.lua           # Plugin manager setup

Subject: [PATCH 26/54] docs: remove outdated IDE integration warning (#78)

The Claude Code IDE integration issues (#2299 and #2295) have been resolved
in newer versions. The latest Claude Code version (1.0.44) works properly
with IDE integrations, making the warning unnecessary and potentially
confusing for new users.

 **The first Neovim IDE integration for Claude Code** — bringing Anthropic's AI coding assistant to your favorite editor with a pure Lua implementation.
 
 > 🎯 **TL;DR:** When Anthropic released Claude Code with VS Code and JetBrains support, I reverse-engineered their extension and built this Neovim plugin. This plugin implements the same WebSocket-based MCP protocol, giving Neovim users the same AI-powered coding experience.

+## Custom Terminal Providers
+
+You can create custom terminal providers by passing a table with the required functions instead of a string provider name:
+
+```lua
+require("claudecode").setup({
+  terminal = {
+    provider = {
+      -- Required functions
+      setup = function(config)
+        -- Initialize your terminal provider
+      end,
+
+      open = function(cmd_string, env_table, effective_config, focus)
+        -- Open terminal with command and environment
+        -- focus parameter controls whether to focus terminal (defaults to true)
+      end,
+
+      close = function()
+        -- Close the terminal
+      end,
+
+      simple_toggle = function(cmd_string, env_table, effective_config)
+        -- Simple show/hide toggle
+      end,
+
+      focus_toggle = function(cmd_string, env_table, effective_config)
+        -- Smart toggle: focus terminal if not focused, hide if focused
+      end,
+
+      get_active_bufnr = function()
+        -- Return terminal buffer number or nil
+        return 123 -- example
+      end,
+
+      is_available = function()
+        -- Return true if provider can be used
+        return true
+      end,
+
+      -- Optional functions (auto-generated if not provided)
+      toggle = function(cmd_string, env_table, effective_config)
+        -- Defaults to calling simple_toggle for backward compatibility
+      end,
+
+      _get_terminal_for_test = function()
+        -- For testing only, defaults to return nil
+        return nil
+      end,
+    },
+  },
+})
+```
+
+### Custom Provider Example
+
+Here's a complete example using a hypothetical `my_terminal` plugin:
+
+```lua
+local my_terminal_provider = {
+  setup = function(config)
+    -- Store config for later use
+    self.config = config
+  end,
+
+  open = function(cmd_string, env_table, effective_config, focus)
+    if focus == nil then focus = true end
+
+    local my_terminal = require("my_terminal")
+    my_terminal.open({
+      cmd = cmd_string,
+      env = env_table,
+      width = effective_config.split_width_percentage,
+      side = effective_config.split_side,
+      focus = focus,
+    })
+  end,
+
+  close = function()
+    require("my_terminal").close()
+  end,
+
+  simple_toggle = function(cmd_string, env_table, effective_config)
+    require("my_terminal").toggle()
+  end,
+
+  focus_toggle = function(cmd_string, env_table, effective_config)
+    local my_terminal = require("my_terminal")
+    if my_terminal.is_focused() then
+      my_terminal.hide()
+    else
+      my_terminal.focus()
+    end
+  end,
+
+  get_active_bufnr = function()
+    return require("my_terminal").get_bufnr()
+  end,
+
+  is_available = function()
+    local ok, _ = pcall(require, "my_terminal")
+    return ok
+  end,
+}
+
+require("claudecode").setup({
+  terminal = {
+    provider = my_terminal_provider,
+  },
+})
+```
+
+The custom provider will automatically fall back to the native provider if validation fails or `is_available()` returns false.

+## Floating Window Configuration
+
+The `snacks_win_opts` configuration allows you to create floating Claude Code terminals with custom positioning, sizing, and key bindings. Here are several practical examples:
+
+### Basic Floating Window with Ctrl+, Toggle
+
+```lua
+local toggle_key = "<C-,>"
+return {
+  {
+    "coder/claudecode.nvim",
+    dependencies = { "folke/snacks.nvim" },
+    keys = {
+      { toggle_key, "<cmd>ClaudeCodeFocus<cr>", desc = "Claude Code", mode = { "n", "x" } },
+    },
+    opts = {
+      terminal = {
+        ---@module "snacks"
+        ---@type snacks.win.Config|{}
+        snacks_win_opts = {
+          position = "float",
+          width = 0.9,
+          height = 0.9,
+          keys = {
+            claude_hide = {
+              toggle_key,
+              function(self)
+                self:hide()
+              end,
+              mode = "t",
+              desc = "Hide",
+            },
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+### Alternative with Meta+, (Alt+,) Toggle
+
+```lua
+local toggle_key = "<M-,>"  -- Alt/Meta + comma
+return {
+  {
+    "coder/claudecode.nvim",
+    dependencies = { "folke/snacks.nvim" },
+    keys = {
+      { toggle_key, "<cmd>ClaudeCodeFocus<cr>", desc = "Claude Code", mode = { "n", "x" } },
+    },
+    opts = {
+      terminal = {
+        snacks_win_opts = {
+          position = "float",
+          width = 0.8,
+          height = 0.8,
+          border = "rounded",
+          keys = {
+            claude_hide = { toggle_key, function(self) self:hide() end, mode = "t", desc = "Hide" },
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+### Centered Floating Window with Custom Styling
+
+```lua
+require("claudecode").setup({
+  terminal = {
+    snacks_win_opts = {
+      position = "float",
+      width = 0.6,

+      border = "double",
+      backdrop = 80,
+      keys = {

+        claude_close = { "q", "close", mode = "n", desc = "Close" },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+})
+```
+
+### Multiple Key Binding Options
+

+  },
+  opts = {
+    terminal = {
+      snacks_win_opts = {
+        position = "float",
+        width = 0.85,
+        height = 0.85,
+        border = "rounded",
+        keys = {
+          -- Multiple ways to hide from terminal mode
+          claude_hide_ctrl = { "<C-,>", function(self) self:hide() end, mode = "t", desc = "Hide (Ctrl+,)" },

+## Community Extensions
+
+The following are third-party community extensions that complement claudecode.nvim. **These extensions are not affiliated with Coder and are maintained independently by community members.** We do not ensure that these extensions work correctly or provide support for them.
+
+### 🔍 [claude-fzf.nvim](https://github.com/pittcat/claude-fzf.nvim)
+
+Integrates fzf-lua's file selection with claudecode.nvim's context management:
+
+- Batch file selection with fzf-lua multi-select
+- Smart search integration with grep → Claude
+- Tree-sitter based context extraction
+- Support for files, buffers, git files
+
+### 📚 [claude-fzf-history.nvim](https://github.com/pittcat/claude-fzf-history.nvim)
+
+Provides convenient Claude interaction history management and access for enhanced workflow continuity.
+
+> **Disclaimer**: These community extensions are developed and maintained by independent contributors. The authors and their extensions are not affiliated with Coder. Use at your own discretion and refer to their respective repositories for installation instructions, documentation, and support.

Subject: [PATCH 32/54] feat: add mini.files support (#89)

* fix: update coroutine context detection for Lua 5.4 compatibility

Fix openDiff blocking operations failing in test environment due to
incorrect coroutine context detection. In Lua 5.4, coroutine.running()
returns (thread, is_main) where is_main indicates if running in main
thread vs coroutine.

Changes:
- Update diff.lua: Fix open_diff_blocking coroutine check
- Update tools/open_diff.lua: Fix handler coroutine validation
- Update tests: Add proper mocking and expected error messages

* feat: add mini.files support to claudecode.nvim

Add mini.files integration following the same pattern as netrw support.
- Add _get_mini_files_selection() function to integrations.lua
- Support both visual selection and single file under cursor
- Add comprehensive test suite with 12 test cases
- Handle error cases and edge conditions gracefully

* feat: add multi-file visual selection support to mini.files integration

This update introduces support for visual mode multi-file selection in
mini.files integration. Users can now select multiple files in visual
mode and send them all to Claude Code at once.

* feat: add test fixture for mini.files

* refactor: replace duplicated dev config with symlink and remove unused variable

 - [Claude Code CLI](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) installed
 - [folke/snacks.nvim](https://github.com/folke/snacks.nvim) for enhanced terminal support
 
+## Local Installation Configuration
+
+If you've used Claude Code's `migrate-installer` command to move to a local installation, you'll need to configure the plugin to use the local path.
+
+### What is a Local Installation?
+
+Claude Code offers a `claude migrate-installer` command that:
+
+- Moves Claude Code from a global npm installation to `~/.claude/local/`
+- Avoids permission issues with system directories
+- Creates shell aliases but these may not be available to Neovim
+
+### Detecting Your Installation Type
+
+Check your installation type:
+
+```bash
+# Check where claude command points
+which claude
+
+# Global installation shows: /usr/local/bin/claude (or similar)
+# Local installation shows: alias to ~/.claude/local/claude
+
+# Verify installation health
+claude doctor
+```
+
+### Configuring for Local Installation
+
+If you have a local installation, configure the plugin with the direct path:
+
+```lua
+{
+  "coder/claudecode.nvim",
+  dependencies = { "folke/snacks.nvim" },
+  opts = {
+    terminal_cmd = "~/.claude/local/claude", -- Point to local installation
+  },
+  config = true,
+  keys = {
+    -- Your keymaps here
+  },
+}
+```
+
+<details>
+<summary>Native Binary Installation (Alpha)</summary>
+
+Claude Code also offers an experimental native binary installation method currently in alpha testing. This provides a single executable with no Node.js dependencies.
+
+#### Installation Methods
+
+Install the native binary using one of these methods:
+
+```bash
+# Fresh install (recommended)
+curl -fsSL claude.ai/install.sh | bash
+
+# From existing Claude Code installation
+claude install
+```
+
+#### Platform Support
+
+- **macOS**: Full support for Intel and Apple Silicon
+- **Linux**: x64 and arm64 architectures
+- **Windows**: Via WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
+
+#### Benefits
+
+- **Zero Dependencies**: Single executable file with no external requirements
+- **Cross-Platform**: Consistent experience across operating systems
+- **Secure Installation**: Includes checksum verification and automatic cleanup
+
+#### Configuring for Native Binary
+
+The exact binary path depends on your shell integration. To find your installation:
+
+```bash
+# Check where claude command points
+which claude
+
+# Verify installation type and health
+claude doctor
+```
+
+Configure the plugin with the detected path:
+
+```lua
+{
+  "coder/claudecode.nvim",
+  dependencies = { "folke/snacks.nvim" },
+  opts = {
+    terminal_cmd = "/path/to/your/claude", -- Use output from 'which claude'
+  },
+  config = true,
+  keys = {
+    -- Your keymaps here
+  },
+}
+```
+
+</details>
+
+> **Note**: If Claude Code was installed globally via npm, you can use the default configuration without specifying `terminal_cmd`.

+### Configuration Options
+
+#### Diff Options
+
+The `diff_opts` configuration allows you to customize diff behavior:
+
+- `keep_terminal_focus` (boolean, default: `false`) - When enabled, keeps focus in the Claude Code terminal when a diff opens instead of moving focus to the diff buffer. This allows you to continue using terminal keybindings like `<CR>` for accepting/rejecting diffs without accidentally triggering other mappings.
+
+**Example use case**: If you frequently use `<CR>` or arrow keys in the Claude Code terminal to accept/reject diffs, enable this option to prevent focus from moving to the diff buffer where `<CR>` might trigger unintended actions.
+
+```lua
+require("claudecode").setup({
+  diff_opts = {
+    keep_terminal_focus = true,  -- If true, moves focus back to terminal after diff opens

Subject: [PATCH 38/54] fix: do not wipe claude buffer on window close (native)
 (#60)

* fix: do not wipe claude buffer on window close

* fix tests

changes the expected value of 'wipe' to 'hide'.
Remove check for buffer options as they will be undefined, given that
`nvim_buf_set_option` will now have been called.

 ## Troubleshooting
 
 - **Claude not connecting?** Check `:ClaudeCodeStatus` and verify lock file exists in `~/.claude/ide/` (or `$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/ide/` if `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` is set)

Subject: [PATCH 41/54] refactor: centralize type definitions in dedicated
 types.lua module (#108)

# Centralize type definitions in a dedicated module

This PR introduces a new `types.lua` module that centralizes all type definitions for the ClaudeCode.nvim plugin. The change:

- Creates a dedicated `lua/claudecode/types.lua` file containing all public API types
- Removes inline type definitions from config.lua, init.lua, and logger.lua
- Updates type references across the codebase to use the new centralized types
- Improves type naming consistency with the `ClaudeCode` prefix (e.g., `ClaudeCodeConfig` instead of `ClaudeCode.Config`)
- Enhances type documentation with more detailed descriptions

This change makes the type system more maintainable and provides a single source of truth for the plugin's API types.

Subject: [PATCH 42/54] feat: add Claude Haiku model and update type
 annotations (#110)

# Update Claude model options and improve type annotations

This PR updates the available Claude models to include:
- Renamed "Claude Opus 4" to "Claude Opus 4.1 (Latest)"
- Added "Claude Haiku 3.5 (Latest)" as a new model option

Additionally, improves type safety throughout the codebase by:
- Adding proper type annotations for configuration parameters
- Adding explicit types for global variables
- Fixing function parameter types to use `ClaudeCodeConfig` where appropriate
- Properly documenting the `active_diffs` table with type information

Subject: [PATCH 44/54] refactor: simplify devcontainer configuration and
 remove workspace mount (#113)

# Simplify DevContainer Configuration

This PR streamlines the DevContainer setup by:

1. Standardizing indentation in the Dockerfile for better readability
2. Removing unnecessary workspace directory setup in the Dockerfile
3. Removing custom mount configuration in devcontainer.json
4. Improving formatting in devcontainer.json for better readability

These changes simplify the DevContainer configuration while maintaining the core functionality of the Nix-based development environment.

Subject: [PATCH 45/54] feat: add external provider to run Claude in separate
 terminal (#102)

* feat: add provider: external to run Claude in separate terminal

I think it's pretty convenient to have Claude running in a separate
window, separate from Neovim window. I think this is particularly useful on
tiling window managers.

From e737c52c8557bf8afe915b5380786ce0beff9050 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 46/54] feat: support function for external_terminal_cmd
 configuration (#119)

* feat: support function for external_terminal_cmd configuration

Allow external_terminal_cmd to be either a string template with %s
placeholder
or a function that receives (cmd, env) and returns the command to
execute.
This enables more dynamic terminal command generation based on
environment
or runtime conditions.

Examples:
- String: "alacritty -e %s"
- Function: function(cmd, env) return { "osascript", "-e", ... } end

* fix: fix unit tests

Subject: [PATCH 48/54] feat: redesign diff view with horizontal layout and new
 tab options (#111)

# Improved Diff View Layout and Configuration

This PR refactors the diff view functionality to provide more flexible layout options and better tab management:

- Added a new `layout` option to replace the previous `vertical_split` boolean, supporting both "vertical" and "horizontal" layouts
- Replaced `open_in_current_tab` with `open_in_new_tab` for more intuitive configuration
- Removed redundant options `auto_close_on_accept` and `show_diff_stats` that were no longer used
- Added proper type annotations for configuration options
- Implemented improved window management when opening diffs in new tabs
- Added terminal window preservation when opening diffs in new tabs
- Improved window option handling to maintain consistent appearance across different layouts
- Enhanced cleanup logic to properly handle both tab-based and window-based diff views
- Updated tests to reflect the new configuration options

These changes make the diff view more customizable while simplifying the configuration interface. Users can now choose between vertical or horizontal layouts and easily open diffs in new tabs while maintaining access to the terminal.

 The `diff_opts` configuration allows you to customize diff behavior:
 
 - `keep_terminal_focus` (boolean, default: `false`) - When enabled, keeps focus in the Claude Code terminal when a diff opens instead of moving focus to the diff buffer. This allows you to continue using terminal keybindings like `<CR>` for accepting/rejecting diffs without accidentally triggering other mappings.
+- `open_in_new_tab` (boolean, default: `false`) - Open diffs in a new tab instead of the current tab.
+- `hide_terminal_in_new_tab` (boolean, default: `false`) - When opening diffs in a new tab, do not show the Claude terminal split in that new tab. The terminal remains in the original tab, giving maximum screen estate for reviewing the diff.
 
 **Example use case**: If you frequently use `<CR>` or arrow keys in the Claude Code terminal to accept/reject diffs, enable this option to prevent focus from moving to the diff buffer where `<CR>` might trigger unintended actions.

Subject: [PATCH 49/54] feat: add option to control behavior when rejecting new
 file diffs (#114)

# Add option to control behavior when rejecting new file diffs

This PR adds a new configuration option `on_new_file_reject` that controls what happens when a user rejects a diff for a new file:

- `keep_empty` (default): Leaves the empty buffer in place
- `close_window`: Closes the placeholder split window

Previously, when rejecting a new file diff, the plugin would always try to delete the original buffer. This could cause issues when the buffer was reused from an existing empty buffer, leading to potential crashes when attempting to reopen a diff.

The PR includes:
- New configuration option in `config.lua` with validation
- Type definition in `types.lua`
- Logic in `diff.lua` to track whether the original buffer was created by the plugin
- Only delete the original buffer on reject if it was created by the plugin
- Unit test to verify the fix works correctly

This change improves stability when working with new files and gives users more control over the UI behavior.

Subject: [PATCH 50/54] feat: add PartialClaudeCodeConfig type for better
 configuration handling (#115)

# Introduce PartialClaudeCodeConfig type for better type checking

This PR introduces a new `PartialClaudeCodeConfig` type that extends the existing `ClaudeCodeConfig` type. The type signature for the `setup` function and the dev-config have been updated to use this new type, which better represents that configuration options are partial and can be overridden.

This change improves type checking and makes it clearer that the configuration passed to `setup()` doesn't need to include all possible options.

Subject: [PATCH 51/54] feat: add Shift+Enter keybinding for new line in
 terminal (#116)

Added Shift+Enter shortcut for new line in terminal

This PR adds a keyboard shortcut (Shift+Enter) in the terminal that inserts a backslash followed by a newline, making it easier to continue commands on a new line. The change also improves type annotations for better code documentation, specifically updating the return type annotation to `snacks.terminal.Opts` and the `snacks_win_opts` type to `snacks.win.Config`.

1. `cwd_provider(ctx)`: A function that returns a directory string, receiving context with `{ file, file_dir, cwd }`
2. `cwd`: A static path to use as working directory
3. `git_repo_cwd = true`: Resolves git root from the current file directory (or cwd if no file)

The implementation includes:
- A new `claudecode.cwd` module with directory resolution helpers
- Support for top-level aliases in the config for convenience
- Working directory resolution at terminal creation time
- Proper passing of cwd to both native terminal and snacks providers
- Comprehensive test coverage for the new functionality

This makes it easier to ensure Claude has the correct context when working with projects, especially in monorepos or when navigating between different parts of a codebase.

+### Working Directory Control
+
+You can fix the Claude terminal's working directory regardless of `autochdir` and buffer-local cwd changes. Options (precedence order):
+
+- `cwd_provider(ctx)`: function that returns a directory string. Receives `{ file, file_dir, cwd }`.
+- `cwd`: static path to use as working directory.
+- `git_repo_cwd = true`: resolves git root from the current file directory (or cwd if no file).
+
+Examples:
+
+```lua
+require("claudecode").setup({
+  -- Top-level aliases are supported and forwarded to terminal config
+  git_repo_cwd = true,
+})
+
+require("claudecode").setup({
+  terminal = {
+    cwd = vim.fn.expand("~/projects/my-app"),
+  },
+})
+
+require("claudecode").setup({
+  terminal = {
+    cwd_provider = function(ctx)
+      -- Prefer repo root; fallback to file's directory
+      local cwd = require("claudecode.cwd").git_root(ctx.file_dir or ctx.cwd) or ctx.file_dir or ctx.cwd
+      return cwd
+    end,
+  },
+})
+```
+
 ## Floating Window Configuration
 
 The `snacks_win_opts` configuration allows you to create floating Claude Code terminals with custom positioning, sizing, and key bindings. Here are several practical examples:

Subject: [PATCH 53/54] feat: add focus_after_send option for terminal behavior
 (#118)

# Add focus_after_send option to control terminal focus behavior

Added a new configuration option `focus_after_send` that controls whether the Claude terminal should be focused after a successful send when already connected.

When enabled, the terminal will be focused after sending code to Claude. When disabled (the default), the terminal will only be made visible but not focused.

This provides more control over the workflow when interacting with Claude:
- Default behavior (false): Terminal becomes visible but doesn't steal focus
- Optional behavior (true): Terminal becomes visible and focused after sending

The PR includes:
- Configuration option in the main config structure
- Type definition updates

+# Repository Guidelines
+
+## Project Structure & Module Organization
+
+- `lua/claudecode/`: Core plugin modules (`init.lua`, `config.lua`, `diff.lua`, `terminal/`, `server/`, `tools/`, `logger.lua`, etc.).
+- `plugin/`: Lightweight loader that guards startup and optional auto-setup.
+- `tests/`: Busted test suite (`unit/`, `integration/`, `helpers/`, `mocks/`).
+- `fixtures/`: Minimal Neovim configs for manual and integration testing.
+- `scripts/`: Development helpers; `dev-config.lua` aids local testing.
+
+## Build, Test, and Development Commands
+
+- `make check`: Syntax checks + `luacheck` on `lua/` and `tests/`.
+- `make format`: Format with StyLua (via Nix `nix fmt` in this repo).
+- `make test`: Run Busted tests with coverage (outputs `luacov.stats.out`).
+- `make clean`: Remove coverage artifacts.
+  Examples:
+- Run all tests: `make test`
+- Run one file: `busted -v tests/unit/terminal_spec.lua`
+
+## Coding Style & Naming Conventions
+
+- Lua: 2‑space indent, 120‑column width, double quotes preferred.
+- Formatting: StyLua configured in `.stylua.toml` (require-sort enabled).
+- Linting: `luacheck` with settings in `.luacheckrc` (uses `luajit+busted` std).
+- Modules/files: lower_snake_case; return a module table `M` with documented functions (EmmyLua annotations encouraged).
+- Avoid one-letter names; prefer explicit, testable functions.
+
+## Testing Guidelines
+
+- Frameworks: Busted + Luassert; Plenary used where Neovim APIs are needed.
+- File naming: `*_spec.lua` or `*_test.lua` under `tests/unit` or `tests/integration`.
+- Mocks/helpers: place in `tests/mocks` and `tests/helpers`; prefer pure‑Lua mocks.
+- Coverage: keep high signal; exercise server, tools, diff, and terminal paths.
+- Quick tip: prefer `make test` (it sets `LUA_PATH` and coverage flags).
+
+## Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
+
+- Commits: Use Conventional Commits (e.g., `feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`, `test:`, `chore:`). Keep messages imperative and scoped.
+- PRs: include a clear description, linked issues, repro steps, and tests. Update docs (`README.md`, `ARCHITECTURE.md`, or `DEVELOPMENT.md`) when behavior changes.
+- Pre-flight: run `make format`, `make check`, and `make test`. Attach screenshots or terminal recordings for UX-visible changes (diff flows, terminal behavior).
+
+## Security & Configuration Tips
+
+- Do not commit secrets or local paths; prefer environment variables. The plugin honors `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` for lock files.
+- Local CLI paths (e.g., `opts.terminal_cmd`) should be configured in user config, not hardcoded in repo files.
