Step 2: Update Cargo.toml

Add dependencies from Cargo_dependencies.toml:

[dependencies]
tokio = { version = "1.35", features = ["full"] }
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
serde_json = "1.0"
once_cell = "1.19"

Step 3: Modify commands.rs

Follow instructions in commands_modifications.rs:

1. Add module declaration: mod claude;
2. Add imports: use crate::claude::{ClaudeExecutor, ClaudeTaskCommand};
3. Create global executor: static CLAUDE_EXECUTOR: Lazy<ClaudeExecutor> = ...
4. Add match arm: "claude_task" => execute_claude_task(&command).await
5. Implement: async fn execute_claude_task()

Step 4: Build & Test

cargo build --release
cargo test
cargo clippy

Step 5: Deploy

Follow deployment process in TESTING_AND_DEPLOYMENT.md:

1. Stop GuruRMM agent service on AD2
2. Backup existing binary
3. Deploy new binary
4. Restart service
5. Run smoke test
6. Verify logs

Usage Example

Once deployed, Main Claude can invoke tasks on AD2:

curl -X POST "http://172.16.3.30:3001/api/agents/{AD2_AGENT_ID}/command" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "command_type": "claude_task",
    "task": "Check the sync log for errors in last 24 hours",
    "working_directory": "C:\\Shares\\test\\scripts",
    "context_files": ["sync-from-nas.log"]
  }'

Response:

{
  "status": "completed",
  "output": "Found 2 errors in last 24 hours:\n1. [2026-01-21 14:32] Connection timeout\n2. [2026-01-21 18:15] File copy failed",
  "error": null,
  "duration_seconds": 18,
  "files_analyzed": ["C:\\Shares\\test\\scripts\\sync-from-nas.log"]
}

Next Steps

For Immediate Deployment

1. Review all files in D:\ClaudeTools\projects\gururmm-agent\
2. Copy agent/src/claude.rs to your GuruRMM agent project
3. Follow integration steps in commands_modifications.rs
4. Update Cargo.toml with dependencies
5. Build: cargo build --release
6. Test locally: cargo test
7. Deploy to AD2 following TESTING_AND_DEPLOYMENT.md

For Testing Before Deployment

1. Run all unit tests: cargo test
2. Run clippy: cargo clippy -- -D warnings
3. Run format check: cargo fmt -- --check
4. Review security features in code
5. Verify integration with existing command dispatcher
6. Test on development machine first (if possible)

For Long-Term Maintenance

1. Monitor logs: C:\Program Files\GuruRMM\logs\agent.log
2. Track task execution metrics via GuruRMM API
3. Set up automated weekly tests
4. Configure log rotation (see TESTING_AND_DEPLOYMENT.md)
5. Review rate limit hits and adjust if needed

Known Limitations

By Design

1. *Working directory restricted to C:\Shares\test* - For security
2. Rate limit of 10 tasks per hour - Prevents abuse
3. Maximum 2 concurrent tasks - Preserves resources
4. Timeout maximum of 10 minutes - Prevents hung processes
5. Shell metacharacters blocked in task input - Prevents command injection

Environmental

1. Requires Claude Code CLI installed - Must be in PATH
2. Windows Server 2022 specific - Uses Windows paths
3. GuruRMM WebSocket required - For command delivery
4. Rust 1.70+ required - For compilation

Questions & Support

Common Questions

Q: Can I increase the rate limit? A: Yes, modify MAX_TASKS_PER_WINDOW in agent/src/claude.rs and rebuild.

Q: Can I allow access to other directories? A: Yes, modify validate_working_directory() function, but review security implications first.

Q: What happens if Claude Code is not installed? A: Task will fail with clear error: "[ERROR] Failed to spawn Claude Code process: program not found"

Q: Can I run more than 2 concurrent tasks? A: Yes, modify MAX_CONCURRENT_TASKS constant, but monitor CPU/memory usage.

Q: How do I debug issues? A: Check agent logs at C:\Program Files\GuruRMM\logs\agent.log for detailed error messages.

Implementation Notes

Design Decisions

1. Global static executor - Simpler integration than struct-based approach
2. Tokio async runtime - Non-blocking, production-grade async I/O
3. Sliding window rate limiting - More flexible than fixed interval
4. Mutex for shared state - Thread-safe task counting and rate limiting
5. Result<T, E> everywhere - Idiomatic Rust error handling
6. No external dependencies for core logic - Minimal dependency tree

Code Organization

• claude.rs - Self-contained module with all functionality
• Public API via ClaudeExecutor struct
• Helper functions are module-private
• Unit tests in same file (Rust convention)
• Clear separation of concerns (validation, execution, output)

Error Handling Philosophy

• Every error path returns detailed message
• Errors prefixed with [ERROR] for easy log parsing
• No silent failures - all errors propagate to caller
• User-facing error messages are actionable
• Internal errors include technical details for debugging
