24. Migrate Ideas to Local Qwen

What Transfers Cleanly

If your runtime model is local Qwen, the biggest transferable value from this source is not “Claude behavior.” It is the client architecture around the model.

  • Startup shell structure from main.tsx
  • Tool contracts from Tool.ts
  • Safe shell execution from tools/BashTool/*
  • File reading and editing patterns from FileReadTool and FileEditTool
  • Session handling from history.ts, services/compact/*, and services/SessionMemory/*

What Will Not Transfer Automatically

  • Model quality and planning reliability
  • Long-chain tool use stability
  • Strong code-edit judgment
  • Claude-specific request semantics and beta headers
