+# 06. Simplify `parseToolUsage` for plain text output
+
+meta:
+  id: ralph-loop-fixes-06
+  feature: ralph-loop-fixes
+  priority: P2
+  depends_on: [ralph-loop-fixes-02]
+  tags: [implementation, utils]
+
+objective:
+- Remove NDJSON event parsing from `parseToolUsage()` since `pi --print` returns plain text, not structured event streams
+
+deliverables:
+- Modified `src/utils.ts` — `parseToolUsage()` function
+
+steps:
+- Open `src/utils.ts` and locate `parseToolUsage()`
+- Remove the NDJSON parsing block (lines that check `line.startsWith("data: ")` and `JSON.parse`)
+- Keep only the regex fallback that counts tool mentions in plain text output
+- Remove `extractTextFromEvent()` if no longer needed (plain text from `--print` needs no extraction)
+- Update `executor.ts` to call `parseToolUsage()` directly on `result.stdout` without `extractTextFromEvent()`
+
+tests:
+- Manual: Run a task that uses multiple tools — verify tool counts are captured from plain text output
+- Manual: Verify no JSON parse errors in tool usage parsing
+
+acceptance_criteria:
+- `parseToolUsage()` works correctly on plain text output
+- No JSON parsing logic remains in `parseToolUsage()`
+- Tool counts ([read], [write], [edit], [bash]) are still extracted via regex
+
+validation:
+- Grep for `JSON.parse` in parseToolUsage — should be removed
+- Grep for `data:` prefix check — should be removed
+- Verify regex-based tool counting still present and functional
+
+notes:
+- `pi --print` returns plain text, not NDJSON event stream
+- The regex fallback patterns (`\[read\]`, `read(`, etc.) are sufficient for counting tool mentions
+- `extractTextFromEvent()` was only needed for NDJSON — can be removed or simplified to identity function
