+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+This is a **reverse-engineered / decompiled** version of Anthropic's official Claude Code CLI tool. The goal is to restore core functionality while trimming secondary capabilities. Many modules are stubbed or feature-flagged off. The codebase has ~1341 tsc errors from decompilation (mostly `unknown`/`never`/`{}` types) — these do **not** block Bun runtime execution.
+
+## Commands
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+bun install
+
+# Dev mode (direct execution via Bun)
+bun run dev
+# equivalent to: bun run src/entrypoints/cli.tsx
+
+# Pipe mode
+echo "say hello" | bun run src/entrypoints/cli.tsx -p
+
+# Build (outputs dist/cli.js, ~25MB)
+bun run build
+```
+
+No test runner is configured. No linter is configured.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Runtime & Build
+
+- **Runtime**: Bun (not Node.js). All imports, builds, and execution use Bun APIs.
+- **Build**: `bun build src/entrypoints/cli.tsx --outdir dist --target bun` — single-file bundle.
+- **Module system**: ESM (`"type": "module"`), TSX with `react-jsx` transform.
+- **Monorepo**: Bun workspaces — internal packages live in `packages/` resolved via `workspace:*`.
+
+### Entry & Bootstrap
+
+1. **`src/entrypoints/cli.tsx`** — True entrypoint. Injects runtime polyfills at the top:
+   - `feature()` always returns `false` (all feature flags disabled, skipping unimplemented branches).
+   - `globalThis.MACRO` — simulates build-time macro injection (VERSION, BUILD_TIME, etc.).
+   - `BUILD_TARGET`, `BUILD_ENV`, `INTERFACE_TYPE` globals.
+2. **`src/main.tsx`** — Commander.js CLI definition. Parses args, initializes services (auth, analytics, policy), then launches the REPL or runs in pipe mode.
+3. **`src/entrypoints/init.ts`** — One-time initialization (telemetry, config, trust dialog).
+
+### Core Loop
+
+- **`src/query.ts`** — The main API query function. Sends messages to Claude API, handles streaming responses, processes tool calls, and manages the conversation turn loop.
+- **`src/QueryEngine.ts`** — Higher-level orchestrator wrapping `query()`. Manages conversation state, compaction, file history snapshots, attribution, and turn-level bookkeeping. Used by the REPL screen.
+- **`src/screens/REPL.tsx`** — The interactive REPL screen (React/Ink component). Handles user input, message display, tool permission prompts, and keyboard shortcuts.
+
+### API Layer
+
+- **`src/services/api/claude.ts`** — Core API client. Builds request params (system prompt, messages, tools, betas), calls the Anthropic SDK streaming endpoint, and processes `BetaRawMessageStreamEvent` events.
+- Supports multiple providers: Anthropic direct, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, Azure.
+- Provider selection in `src/utils/model/providers.ts`.
+
+### Tool System
+
+- **`src/Tool.ts`** — Tool interface definition (`Tool` type) and utilities (`findToolByName`, `toolMatchesName`).
+- **`src/tools.ts`** — Tool registry. Assembles the tool list; some tools are conditionally loaded via `feature()` flags or `process.env.USER_TYPE`.
+- **`src/tools/<ToolName>/`** — Each tool in its own directory (e.g., `BashTool`, `FileEditTool`, `GrepTool`, `AgentTool`).
+- Tools define: `name`, `description`, `inputSchema` (JSON Schema), `call()` (execution), and optionally a React component for rendering results.
+
+### UI Layer (Ink)
+
+- **`src/ink.ts`** — Ink render wrapper with ThemeProvider injection.
+- **`src/ink/`** — Custom Ink framework (forked/internal): custom reconciler, hooks (`useInput`, `useTerminalSize`, `useSearchHighlight`), virtual list rendering.
+- **`src/components/`** — React components rendered in terminal via Ink. Key ones:
+  - `App.tsx` — Root provider (AppState, Stats, FpsMetrics).
+  - `Messages.tsx` / `MessageRow.tsx` — Conversation message rendering.
+  - `PromptInput/` — User input handling.
+  - `permissions/` — Tool permission approval UI.
+- Components use React Compiler runtime (`react/compiler-runtime`) — decompiled output has `_c()` memoization calls throughout.
+
+### State Management
+
+- **`src/state/AppState.tsx`** — Central app state type and context provider. Contains messages, tools, permissions, MCP connections, etc.
+- **`src/state/store.ts`** — Zustand-style store for AppState.
+- **`src/bootstrap/state.ts`** — Module-level singletons for session-global state (session ID, CWD, project root, token counts).
+
+### Context & System Prompt
+
+- **`src/context.ts`** — Builds system/user context for the API call (git status, date, CLAUDE.md contents, memory files).
+- **`src/utils/claudemd.ts`** — Discovers and loads CLAUDE.md files from project hierarchy.
+
+### Feature Flag System
+
+All `feature('FLAG_NAME')` calls come from `bun:bundle` (a build-time API). In this decompiled version, `feature()` is polyfilled to always return `false` in `cli.tsx`. This means all Anthropic-internal features (COORDINATOR_MODE, KAIROS, PROACTIVE, etc.) are disabled.
+
+### Stubbed/Deleted Modules
+
+| Module | Status |
+|--------|--------|
+| Computer Use (`@ant/*`) | Stub packages in `packages/@ant/` |
+| `*-napi` packages (audio, image, url, modifiers) | Stubs in `packages/` (except `color-diff-napi` which is fully implemented) |
+| Analytics / GrowthBook / Sentry | Empty implementations |
+| Magic Docs / Voice Mode / LSP Server | Removed |
+| Plugins / Marketplace | Removed |
+| MCP OAuth | Simplified |
+
+### Key Type Files
+
+- **`src/types/global.d.ts`** — Declares `MACRO`, `BUILD_TARGET`, `BUILD_ENV` and internal Anthropic-only identifiers.
+- **`src/types/internal-modules.d.ts`** — Type declarations for `bun:bundle`, `bun:ffi`, `@anthropic-ai/mcpb`.
+- **`src/types/message.ts`** — Message type hierarchy (UserMessage, AssistantMessage, SystemMessage, etc.).
+- **`src/types/permissions.ts`** — Permission mode and result types.
+
+## Working with This Codebase
+
+- **Don't try to fix all tsc errors** — they're from decompilation and don't affect runtime.
+- **`feature()` is always `false`** — any code behind a feature flag is dead code in this build.
+- **React Compiler output** — Components have decompiled memoization boilerplate (`const $ = _c(N)`). This is normal.
+- **`bun:bundle` import** — In `src/main.tsx` and other files, `import { feature } from 'bun:bundle'` works at build time. At dev-time, the polyfill in `cli.tsx` provides it.
+- **`src/` path alias** — tsconfig maps `src/*` to `./src/*`. Imports like `import { ... } from 'src/utils/...'` are valid.
