Test User cafaacdc0c fix(session): address code review feedback for session management
- Fix SC2155: separate declare from assign in get_session_id(),
  log_session_transition(), init_session_tracking()
- Use jq for safe JSON generation in reset_session() and init_session_tracking()
  instead of heredocs (prevents special character issues)
- Add corruption tolerance to log_session_transition() with JSON validation
  and fallback to empty array on parse failures
- Add generate_session_id() to create unique session IDs (ralph-<epoch>-<random>)
- Add update_session_last_used() helper called on each loop iteration
- init_session_tracking() now generates unique session_id and sets last_used
- Add session files to .gitignore (.ralph_session, .ralph_session_history,
  .claude_session_id)

All 265 tests pass.

Ralph Loop for Claude Code
Usage: $0 [OPTIONS]
IMPORTANT: This command must be run from a Ralph project directory.
Use 'ralph-setup project-name' to create a new project first.
Options:
-h, --help Show this help message
-c, --calls NUM Set max calls per hour (default: $MAX_CALLS_PER_HOUR)
-p, --prompt FILE Set prompt file (default: $PROMPT_FILE)
-s, --status Show current status and exit
-m, --monitor Start with tmux session and live monitor (requires tmux)
-v, --verbose Show detailed progress updates during execution
-t, --timeout MIN Set Claude Code execution timeout in minutes (default: $CLAUDE_TIMEOUT_MINUTES)
--reset-circuit Reset circuit breaker to CLOSED state
--circuit-status Show circuit breaker status and exit
--reset-session Reset session state and exit (clears session continuity)
Modern CLI Options (Phase 1.1):
--output-format FORMAT Set Claude output format: json or text (default: $CLAUDE_OUTPUT_FORMAT)
--allowed-tools TOOLS Comma-separated list of allowed tools (default: $CLAUDE_ALLOWED_TOOLS)
--no-continue Disable session continuity across loops
Files created:
- $LOG_DIR/: All execution logs
- $DOCS_DIR/: Generated documentation
- $STATUS_FILE: Current status (JSON)
- .ralph_session: Session lifecycle tracking
- .ralph_session_history: Session transition history (last 50)
- .call_count: API call counter for rate limiting
- .last_reset: Timestamp of last rate limit reset
Example workflow:
ralph-setup my-project # Create project
cd my-project # Enter project directory
$0 --monitor # Start Ralph with monitoring
Examples:
$0 --calls 50 --prompt my_prompt.md
$0 --monitor # Start with integrated tmux monitoring
$0 --monitor --timeout 30 # 30-minute timeout for complex tasks
$0 --verbose --timeout 5 # 5-minute timeout with detailed progress
$0 --output-format text # Use legacy text output format
$0 --no-continue # Disable session continuity
