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: address code review feedback for .ralph/ subfolder structure
Fixes multiple path-related issues identified in code review:
Test fixes:
- 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
All 310 tests pass.

* fix: use safe arithmetic to avoid set -e failure
Replace ((removed++)) with removed=$((removed + 1)) to prevent
script termination when removed is 0, as post-increment returns
exit code 1 when the expression value is 0 under set -e.

* 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

The build_claude_command() function was incorrectly using --prompt-file
which doesn't exist in Claude Code CLI. This fix:
- Replaces --prompt-file with -p flag plus prompt content
- Reads prompt content via $(cat "$prompt_file") before execution
- Adds error handling for missing prompt files
- Maintains shell injection safety through array-based command building
- Updates comments to reflect the correct approach
Adds 6 TDD tests verifying the fix:
- Uses -p flag instead of --prompt-file
- Reads prompt file content correctly
- Handles missing prompt file
- Includes all modern CLI flags
- Handles multiline prompt content
- Prevents shell injection
Test count: 145 -> 151 (all passing)
