Exact reproduction (isolated env, no creds, fresh git repo, HEAD `a35ee9a0`): `timeout 5 env -i HOME=$ISOLATED_HOME PATH=$PATH CLAW_CONFIG_HOME=$PROBE/.claw-cfg claw prompt hello --output-format json > stdout.txt 2> stderr.txt` → stdout = **0 bytes**, stderr = 195 bytes containing `{"error":"missing Anthropic credentials…","exit_code":1,"hint":null,"kind":"missing_credentials","type":"error"}`, exit code 1. Confirms Gaebal's `1505208553793781792` pinpoint that `prompt` timeout + zero bytes was the prior state — HEAD `a35ee9a0` now correctly exits 1 with `kind:"missing_credentials"` **but the envelope is still routed to stderr** (issue #447 class, same class as prior entries #422, #435). **Contrast with `doctor`:** `claw doctor --output-format json 2>/dev/null` succeeds to stdout with `checks[auth].status:"warn"`, `api_key_present:false`, `auth_token_present:false` — but the auth check has no `prompt_ready:false` field. Automation that gates on `doctor` before invoking `prompt` must re-derive readiness from `api_key_present && auth_token_present` — there is no single canonical boolean. **Three compound problems:** (a) **stdout-empty on `--output-format json` failure**: same class as #447; `prompt`'s error envelope goes to stderr, not stdout. The canonical automation idiom `if ! result=$(claw prompt "q" --output-format json); then echo "$result" | jq .kind; fi` sees `$result=""` on failure — the jq call gets nothing. All `--output-format json` error paths must route JSON to stdout per #447 contract; (b) **`doctor` missing `prompt_ready` field**: `doctor --output-format json` already knows auth is absent (`api_key_present:false`) but surfaces no derived `prompt_ready:bool` or `prompt_blocked_reason:string` field. Automation must infer readiness from `api_key_present || auth_token_present || legacy_*_present` — a 5-field OR across legacy fields that is fragile as auth mechanisms evolve. A single `prompt_ready:false` (with `prompt_blocked_reason:"auth_missing"`) inside the `auth` check would give downstream a stable contract; (c) **`claw prompt` with no auth does no preflight and fires straight at the API**: the preflight check that `doctor` runs (auth discovery) is not reused by `prompt` to emit a fast typed error before attempting the network call. Both Gaebal's pinpoint (prompt hanging silently on older HEAD) and the current behavior (prompt hitting auth gate after a brief API attempt) stem from the same root: prompt does not short-circuit at the point where `doctor` already knows auth is absent. If `doctor` can emit `kind:"doctor"` with `auth.status:"warn"` in ~20ms without a network call, `prompt` should emit `kind:"missing_credentials"` in the same window and output it to stdout. **Required fix shape:** (a) `prompt --output-format json` must write the `kind:"missing_credentials"` JSON envelope to **stdout**, not stderr — same fix as #447 for all error envelopes; (b) add `prompt_ready:bool` and `prompt_blocked_reason:string|null` to the `auth` check in `doctor --output-format json`; derive it as `api_key_present || auth_token_present || legacy_saved_oauth_present`; (c) `prompt` must run the credential preflight check (same codepath as doctor's auth check) before attempting any API call and emit `{"kind":"missing_credentials","prompt_blocked_reason":"auth_missing"}` on **stdout** with exit 1 if the check fails; (d) `--output-format json` stdout routing fix must cover: `prompt`, `session list` (cross-ref #449), `skills uninstall` (cross-ref #431), `resume` (cross-ref #435), `acp serve` (cross-ref #443) — the full `kind:"missing_credentials"` class; (e) regression test: `claw prompt hello --output-format json` with no creds writes JSON to stdout (0 bytes stderr), exits 1, `kind:"missing_credentials"`, in under 200ms (no network attempt). **Why this matters:** `prompt` is the primary consumer entry point. Auth-absent failure routing to stderr breaks every automation wrapper that captures `$(claw prompt ... --output-format json)`. The `doctor` preflight metadata gap means auth-readiness checks require parsing 5 legacy fields instead of reading one boolean. Cross-references #447 (all JSON error envelopes on stderr), #449 (session list hits auth gate), #431 (skills uninstall hits auth gate), #357 (auth gate on local ops cluster), #422 (exit-code parity).

But `check_auth_health()` only checks auth booleans, `check_config_health()` only checks config files/MCP counts, and `check_system_health()` only reports local runtime metadata. There is no provider-endpoint check and no `base_url_source` field in `status`. The runtime will later concatenate/parse/use these env vars as actual URLs (`anthropic.rs:470` builds `{base_url}/v1/messages`), but the preflight surfaces do not validate scheme, host, parseability, or port range. + + **Why distinct from existing items:** ROADMAP #28/#29 cover provider routing and auth-copy issues, including OpenRouter guidance and prefix routing, but not malformed base URL validation. ROADMAP #248 asks non-interactive prompt lifecycle events to include provider/model/base-url identity after a prompt starts; this entry is the *preflight* counterpart: `doctor` / `status` should surface bad base URLs before any prompt/API call. ROADMAP #465 covers effective auth source when both Anthropic auth env vars are set; this entry covers endpoint configuration across all provider env vars. ROADMAP #111 says `/providers` should list providers/base URLs/reachability, but `/providers` is a slash-command spec mismatch; this entry is specifically about the existing `doctor`/`status` green-light surfaces ignoring base URL env vars. No existing entry documents that every malformed `*_BASE_URL` value tested leaves doctor green. + + **Why this matters:** (1) **Startup friction:** users configuring OpenRouter/Ollama/local proxy inevitably touch `OPENAI_BASE_URL`. A one-character typo (`http://`, trailing junk, unsupported scheme) currently passes doctor and fails only during a live prompt. (2) **Automation cannot preflight lanes.** Clawhip wants to know whether a lane is safe before spending tokens / starting a long prompt. Green doctor with poisoned base URL is false confidence. (3) **Security posture:** accepting `javascript:` / `ftp:` / empty string as silently “configured” is not just UX badness; provider clients should only ever use HTTP(S) URLs, and diagnostics should reject or warn on anything else. (4) **The metadata already exists.** Provider metadata names every env var and default URL; the missing layer is just validation and redaction-safe surfacing. (5) **Base URL is provider identity.** Status currently reports model and permission mode, but not where requests will be sent. For OpenAI-compatible providers especially, `OPENAI_BASE_URL` is the difference between OpenAI, OpenRouter, Ollama, local proxy, or malicious typo. + + **Required fix shape:** (a) Add a provider endpoint diagnostics check to `doctor` that iterates provider metadata, reads each `*_BASE_URL` env var if present, trims it, parses it with `Url`, and validates `scheme in {http, https}`, non-empty host, valid port, and no unsupported schemes. Empty string should be treated as unset or explicit invalid with a dedicated warning, not silent ok. (b) Add redaction-safe fields to `status --output-format json`: active provider, `base_url_env`, `base_url_source: "default" | "env"`, `base_url_valid`, `base_url_scheme`, `base_url_host`, and `base_url_error` if invalid. Do not include credentials or path secrets; host/scheme are enough. (c) When the selected model/provider is affected by an invalid base URL, `doctor` should be `warn` or `fail` and `status.status` should be `degraded`, not `ok`. (d) Add tests for the 24-row matrix above plus a valid local URL (`http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1`) and valid HTTPS URL. (e) Optional: `/providers` (when fixed from #111) should reuse the same endpoint validation so base URL truth has one source. **Acceptance check:** `env OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-test OPENAI_BASE_URL=javascript:alert\(1\) claw doctor --output-format json | jq -e '.checks[] | select(.name=="providers" or .name=="provider_endpoints") | .status != "ok" and (.details[]? | test("OPENAI_BASE_URL"))'` should pass; currently there is no such check and doctor is green.
