feat(print): dispatch leading slash lines in -p / non-interactive mode#112
Merged
Conversation
Walk the prompt line by line in the print / codex-exec paths; route each leading line that starts with "/" through the slash handler, stopping at the first non-slash line. The remainder is the prompt that gets echoed. /think and /stream are terminal: their parsed message is the prompt and their durations are slept before the echo, giving orchestrators a generic pacing mechanism in non-interactive mode (where the engine's per-turn timing is otherwise unavailable). Diverges from real claude --print, which sends "/help" to the model as literal text. The divergence is intentional and documented in COMPATIBILITY.md — testagent is a fake driven by orchestrator scripts, not a model proxy. Shared slash.Handler.PrePromptDispatch does the walk; each vendor wires it into its print/exec entry point with vendor-appropriate teardown (claude: Stop + SessionEnd + MCP close; codex: Stop only, ExitError on non-zero /exit; cursor: same as claude on a background context).
