 783. **`claw --output-format json init` success envelope was missing `hint` field; idempotent re-init was not structurally detectable** — dogfooded 2026-05-27 on `32c9276f`. The init JSON envelope had no `hint` field (absent, not null), and no field to distinguish a fresh init from a re-init without checking `created.len() == 0`. Orchestrators had to inspect `created` array length to detect idempotent behavior. Fix: (1) added `hint` field to init JSON envelope — fresh path points at `CLAUDE.md + doctor`; idempotent path says "already initialised, run doctor"; (2) added `already_initialized: bool` field — `true` when `created` and `updated` are both empty (all artifacts skipped). Both test cases (fresh + re-init) covered by `init_json_envelope_has_hint_and_already_initialized_783`. 42 CLI contract tests pass.

 784. **`claw export` had two opaque arg-error paths returning `error_kind:"unknown"` + `hint:null`** — dogfooded 2026-05-27 on `81fe0ccb` (pinpoint by Gaebal-gajae). `claw export --output` (missing flag value) emitted plain `"missing value for --output"` with no typed prefix; `claw export a.md b.md` (extra positional) emitted plain `"unexpected export argument: second.md"`. Both classified as `unknown+null`. Fix: (1) `--output` missing-value error now uses `missing_flag_value:` prefix + `\n` usage hint; (2) extra positional now uses `unexpected_extra_args:` prefix + `\n` usage hint; (3) classifier `unexpected_extra_args` arm extended to match both `starts_with("unexpected extra arguments")` (prose form, #766) and `starts_with("unexpected_extra_args:")` (typed prefix form, #784). Integration test `export_arg_errors_have_typed_kind_and_hint_784` covers both paths. 43 CLI contract tests pass. [SCOPE: claw-code] Source: Gaebal-gajae pinpoint + Jobdori implementation on `81fe0ccb`, 2026-05-27.

+785. **`claw dump` (typo/near-miss for dump-manifests) returned `error_kind:"unknown"` — no classifier arm for `"unknown subcommand:"` prose prefix** — dogfooded 2026-05-27 on `e628b4bb`. Any unknown top-level subcommand that triggers the suggestion path emitted `"unknown subcommand: <x>.\nDid you mean <y>"` but `classify_error_kind` had no arm for that prefix; all fell to the `"unknown"` catch-all. The hint was non-null (the suggestion text was extracted by `split_error_hint`) but `error_kind` was undifferentiated. Fix: added `starts_with("unknown subcommand:")` → `"unknown_subcommand"` arm. Unit test assertion + integration test `unknown_subcommand_returns_typed_kind_785` using `claw dump` as the trigger. 44 CLI contract tests pass.
