+## Previous Initiative: Claude Code Tool Inheritance Bug Investigation (2025-12-18)
+
+### Goal
+Investigate and document a critical bug in Claude Code CLI where sub-agents with explicit `tools:` declarations receive only a subset of their configured tools, with first and last array elements consistently dropped.
+
+### Phase
+COMPLETED - Bug confirmed, comprehensive report generated for Anthropic
+
+### Progress Checklist
+- [x] Reproduce bug with scribe agent (confirmed: missing Read and Write)
+- [x] Reproduce bug with lab-operator agent (confirmed: missing Bash and Write)
+- [x] Test backend-builder agent (working correctly - exception to pattern)
+- [x] Test librarian agent (working correctly - no tools: declaration)
+- [x] Identify pattern: First and last tools dropped for agents with explicit tools: arrays
+- [x] Document impact: Scribe cannot create docs, lab-operator cannot execute commands
+- [x] Generate comprehensive bug report for Anthropic with all evidence
+- [x] Update CLAUDE_STATUS.md with investigation status
+- [ ] Submit bug report to Anthropic via GitHub issues
+
+### Key Findings
+**Bug Pattern**: Sub-agents with `tools: [A, B, C, D, E]` receive only `[B, C, D]` at runtime
+**Affected**: scribe (no Read/Write), lab-operator (no Bash/Write)
+**Unaffected**: backend-builder (exception), librarian (no tools: line)
+**Workaround**: Remove `tools:` declarations to grant all tools by default
+
+**Artifacts**:
+- Bug report: `/home/jramos/homelab/troubleshooting/ANTHROPIC_BUG_REPORT_TOOL_INHERITANCE.md`
+- Original report: `/home/jramos/homelab/troubleshooting/BUG_REPORT.md`
+- Test agent IDs: scribe=a32bd54, lab-operator=ad681e8, backend-builder=aba15f6, librarian=a4cfeb7
+
+### Context
+Critical workflow disruption: Documentation and infrastructure operations workflows completely broken due to missing tools. This is a Claude Code CLI internal bug, not a user configuration issue.
