* refactor(naming): remove @ prefix from on-disk filenames
BREAKING CHANGE: Renames @fix_plan.md → fix_plan.md and @AGENT.md → AGENT.md
This change improves POSIX compliance and compatibility with command-line tools.
The @ prefix was originally used to avoid naming conflicts, but with the .ralph/
folder structure introduced in v0.10.0, this convention is no longer necessary.
Changes:
- Update all scripts to use new naming (fix_plan.md, AGENT.md)
- Update migration script to handle both old and new naming conventions
- Update templates to use new naming
- Update all documentation references
- Update all 420 tests to expect new naming (TDD approach)
Migration:
- Existing projects with @-prefixed files will be automatically renamed
when running ralph-migrate
- Projects already using the new naming will continue to work unchanged
* docs(claude): update file naming conventions section
* fix(migrate): prevent orphaned @-prefixed files during migration
When both root/@fix_plan.md and .ralph/@fix_plan.md exist, the root file
now takes priority and the .ralph/@fix_plan.md is removed (backup exists).
This prevents orphaned legacy files after migration.

When wizard prompt functions (prompt_text, prompt_number, select_option,
select_with_default) were used with command substitution, ANSI-colored
prompts were captured along with user responses, corrupting .ralphrc
values like: PROJECT_NAME="[0;36mProject name[0m [value]: value"
Fix:
- Redirect all display output (colored prompts, validation messages) to
stderr using >&2, matching the pattern already used by select_multiple()
- Keep only the actual response/result on stdout for command substitution
Changes:
- lib/wizard_utils.sh: Add >&2 to prompt_text (lines 84-87),
prompt_number (lines 118-121, 131-151), confirm (lines 44, 60),
select_option (lines 190-215), select_with_default (lines 330-364)
- tests/unit/test_wizard_utils.bats: Add 20 new tests for stdout/stderr
separation and clean command substitution results
- CLAUDE.md: Update test count to 420
Test count: 420 (up from 396)

New library components:
- lib/enable_core.sh: Shared logic for idempotency, project detection, templates
- lib/wizard_utils.sh: Interactive prompt utilities
- lib/task_sources.sh: Task import from beads, GitHub Issues, PRD documents
Features:
- Auto-detects project type (TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go)
- Auto-detects framework (Next.js, FastAPI, Django, Express)
- Imports tasks from beads, GitHub Issues, or PRD documents
- Generates .ralphrc project configuration file
- Idempotent: safe to run multiple times, respects existing files
- Exit codes: 0 (success), 1 (error), 2 (already enabled)
Updated:
- install.sh: Added new commands to global installation
- ralph_loop.sh: Loads .ralphrc configuration at startup
Tests: 75 new tests (30 enable_core + 23 task_sources + 22 integration)
Total: 396 tests passing (100% pass rate)
Closes#85, #121, #64, #87, #99
* fix(enable): address code review feedback
Fixes from PR #124 review:
1. sed -i portability (ralph_enable.sh:456)
- Use portable sed + mv pattern instead of GNU-only sed -i
2. sed regex portability (lib/task_sources.sh)
- Replace \s with POSIX [[:space:]] character class
- Add sed -E flag for extended regex
3. jq availability check (ralph_enable_ci.sh:177)
- Add check for jq when --json flag is used
4. Unused filter parameter (lib/task_sources.sh:44)
- Pass filter to bd list --filter command
5. Word-splitting in select_multiple (ralph_enable.sh:322)
- Return comma-separated indices instead of space-separated text
- Update caller to parse indices correctly
6. Missing || true for check_existing_ralph (ralph_enable.sh:185)
- Prevent set -e from exiting on non-zero return
7. select_multiple stdout corruption (lib/wizard_utils.sh)
- Redirect interactive output to stderr
- Only final result goes to stdout
8. Color variables not exported (lib/wizard_utils.sh:12)
- Export WIZARD_* color variables for subshells
9. select_option infinite loop (lib/wizard_utils.sh:179)
- Add guard for empty options array
* fix(tests): add missing mocks and exports for new enable feature
- Add RESPONSE_ANALYSIS_FILE export to test_session_continuity.bats setup
- Add mock ralph_enable.sh and ralph_enable_ci.sh to test_installation.bats
- Add mock lib files: enable_core.sh, wizard_utils.sh, task_sources.sh, timeout_utils.sh
All 396 tests now pass.
* fix(config): fix critical issues from PR review
1. .ralphrc Configuration Loading Fix:
- Captured env var state BEFORE setting defaults with _env_* variables
- load_ralphrc now only restores values explicitly set by environment
- .ralphrc settings are now properly applied (not overwritten by defaults)
2. sed Command Injection Fix:
- Replaced sed with awk for .ralphrc updates in ralph_enable.sh
- awk -v pattern safely handles user input without shell injection risk
3. Shell Injection Fix in safe_create_file():
- Replaced echo with printf '%s\n' for safer content handling
- Prevents issues with backslashes, -n, and special characters
4. Specific Error Codes:
- Added ENABLE_INVALID_ARGS=3 for argument errors
- Added ENABLE_FILE_NOT_FOUND=4 for missing files
- Added ENABLE_DEPENDENCY_MISSING=5 for missing deps (e.g., jq)
- Added ENABLE_PERMISSION_DENIED=6 for permission errors
- Updated ralph_enable.sh and ralph_enable_ci.sh to use specific codes
5. Added tests for .ralphrc loading pattern verification
Test count: 398 (up from 396)
* fix(enable): make --force flag actually overwrite existing files
The --force flag was accepted but safe_create_file() always skipped
existing files regardless of ENABLE_FORCE value.
Changes:
- safe_create_file() now checks ENABLE_FORCE environment variable
- When ENABLE_FORCE="true", overwrites existing files instead of skipping
- Added proper logging for overwrite operations
Added tests:
- Verify enable_ralph_in_directory actually changes file contents with --force
- Test safe_create_file overwrites when ENABLE_FORCE is true
- Test safe_create_file skips when ENABLE_FORCE is false
Test count: 400 (up from 398)

Root cause: Stale completion indicators in .exit_signals and .response_analysis
files persisted across sessions, causing premature exit when combined with
normal completion indicator increments.
Changes:
- Enhanced reset_session() to clear .exit_signals file (resets to empty structure)
- Enhanced reset_session() to remove .response_analysis file
- Session reset now comprehensively clears all exit-related state
Added 2 new tests:
- reset_session clears exit_signals file to prevent premature exit
- reset_session prevents issue #91 scenario (stale completion indicators)
Test count: 321 (up from 319)
Fixes#91
Merged origin/main into PR branch and applied review feedback:
Review fixes:
- Guard against empty result_obj if jq fails (Macroscope)
- Prioritize result object's session_id over init message (CodeRabbit)
- Add regression test for arrays with session_id only in result element
Resolved conflicts:
- CLAUDE.md: Updated test count to 319
All 319 tests pass.
Claude Code CLI outputs a JSON array instead of a single object:
[{type: "system", ...}, {type: "assistant", ...}, {type: "result", ...}]
This caused parse_json_response to fail with "jq: invalid JSON text"
because it assumed the top-level JSON was an object.
Changes:
- Detect if JSON is an array before parsing
- Extract the "result" type message from the array
- Preserve session_id from init message for continuity
- Normalize to object format for existing parsing logic
- Clean up temporary file after processing
Fixes#112

* feat(structure): migrate Ralph files to .ralph/ subfolder
BREAKING CHANGE: Ralph configuration files now live in .ralph/ subfolder
This refactoring moves all Ralph-specific files into a hidden .ralph/
directory while keeping src/ at the project root. This improves
compatibility with existing tooling and keeps the project root clean.
Changes:
- Move PROMPT.md, @fix_plan.md, @AGENT.md to .ralph/
- Move specs/, logs/, docs/generated/, examples/ to .ralph/
- Move state files (.response_analysis, .circuit_breaker_state, etc.) to .ralph/
- Keep src/ at project root (unchanged)
- Add RALPH_DIR=".ralph" configuration variable
- Add ralph-migrate command for existing projects
- Create migrate_to_ralph_folder.sh migration script
- Update all path references in scripts and tests
- Update documentation (README.md, CLAUDE.md)
New project structure:
project/
├── .ralph/ # Ralph configuration
│ ├── PROMPT.md
│ ├── @fix_plan.md
│ ├── @AGENT.md
│ ├── specs/
│ ├── logs/
│ └── docs/generated/
└── src/ # Source code (unchanged)
Migration: Run `ralph-migrate` in existing projects to upgrade.
All 310 tests pass (100% pass rate).
* chore: add .claude/settings.local.json to .gitignore

- Fix create_sample_prompt to use $RALPH_DIR/PROMPT.md in test_session_continuity.bats
- Fix result_file path to use $RALPH_DIR/.json_parse_result in test_json_parsing.bats
- Fix @fix_plan.md and .response_analysis paths in test_cli_modern.bats
- Update templates directory missing test to account for global fallback
Template fix:
- Fix @fix_plan.md reference in templates/PROMPT.md to use .ralph/ prefix
Script fixes:
- Fix PROMPT_FILE comparison in ralph_loop.sh to use $RALPH_DIR/PROMPT.md
- Fix examples migration logic in migrate_to_ralph_folder.sh (remove premature mkdir)
- Move templates directory check AFTER cd in setup.sh (was checking wrong location)
- Add template directory validation with fallback to global templates

Mock claude commands in test_prd_import.bats were hanging on test 240
because they started with 'cat > /dev/null' which blocks waiting for stdin.
When ralph_import.sh calls 'claude --version' during dependency check,
no stdin is provided, causing indefinite hang.
Changes:
- Added --version flag handler to all 7 mock claude command generators
- Handler returns "Claude Code CLI version 2.0.80" and exits before stdin read
- Fixes hang in test 240 and ensures all 33 prd_import tests pass
This fix allows the quickstart installation to complete successfully
without test stalls.
Fixes #N/A (discovered during quickstart installation)
Major updates:
- Version bumped to v0.9.9
- Test count updated to 308 (from 276)
- Added v0.9.9 release notes: EXIT_SIGNAL gate fix, uninstall script, session expiration
- New "Uninstalling Ralph" section with dedicated uninstall.sh
- Updated "Intelligent Exit Detection" with dual-condition check explanation
- Added EXIT_SIGNAL decision table to Configuration section
- New troubleshooting entries: "Premature Exit" and "Session Expired"
- Updated test coverage breakdown (164 unit + 144 integration)
- Added "Clean Uninstall" to Features list
- Updated Command Reference with ./uninstall.sh
* feat: add dedicated uninstall.sh script
Add a standalone uninstall script that provides:
- Safety confirmation prompt before removal (skip with -y/--yes)
- Installation check to verify Ralph is installed
- Removal plan display showing exactly what will be removed
- Consistent styling matching install.sh (colors, logging)
- Help option (-h/--help) for usage information
- Preserves project directories created with ralph-setup

* Reapply "feat(session): implement session expiration with configurable timeout (#83)"
This reverts commit 1ba55a4b9c.
* fix(session): address code review feedback
- Fix integer overflow: return -1 from get_session_file_age_hours on stat
failure instead of 0, preventing false expiration
- Handle stat failure in init_claude_session with WARN log
- Add comprehensive documentation for return values and expiration strategy
- Add 6 behavioral integration tests that verify actual functionality
- Add inline comments explaining 24-hour default rationale
Test count: 286 → 292 (100% pass rate)
* fix(test): use grep-based verification to fix CI failures
Tests that sourced ralph_loop.sh with --help flag failed in GitHub
Actions due to BATS environment differences. Changed behavioral tests
to grep-based code verification that checks implementation patterns
exist without executing the script.
* fix(test): guard main with BASH_SOURCE for safe sourcing
- Add BASH_SOURCE check to only execute main when script is run directly
- Update tests to source script without --help flag
- Convert grep-based verification tests back to functional tests
- Fixes CI failures caused by script execution during sourcing
