c2a419b4f7 fix(mcplocal): one LLM budget per stage, so a loop cannot multiply it
A per-call timeout bounds one call. It does not bound a stage that calls the
LLM in a loop -- and summarize-tree does worse than loop: buildTree recurses to
maxDepth (3 by default) and iterates per section at every level, then
groupSections iterates again. Hundreds of sequential calls are reachable, so a
10s per-call cap is a multiplier, not a bound.

StageBudget is one wall-clock budget shared across everything a single stage
invocation does. Once it is gone the stage takes its deterministic path --
first-line excerpts, numbered pages -- and says so. The executor builds one per
stage from config.budgetMs ?? MCPCTL_STAGE_LLM_BUDGET_MS (30s) and disposes it
in a finally, so a long-lived mcplocal never accumulates timers.

Two details that matter more than they look:

  - A warm cache is never budget-gated. cachedSummarize and generatePageTitles
    used ctx.cache.getOrCompute, which makes the budget check impossible to
    place correctly; split into get/set so a cached summary -- which costs
    nothing -- is still returned when the budget is spent.
  - "No LLM configured" is NOT a degradation. It is a deliberate choice, and
    numbered pages are the expected output there, so it gets no warning. Only
    failures, timeouts and exhausted budgets do. Crying wolf on a working
    configuration would train people to ignore the notice.

summarize-tree's single-block path previously had no try/catch at all, so a
failure escaped the stage entirely and executor.ts discarded the whole stage's
work. It now degrades like the others.

Degradation is reported three ways, all from util/degrade.ts: the reason in the
content behind the established "⚠ <feature> unavailable (<reason>)" prefix, the
count of affected sections (the recursion can hit one exhausted budget dozens of
times, so the user needs the reason once plus what it cost), and
degraded/degradedReason on the stage_execution audit event -- previously a
degradation was invisible in the trace.

docs/reliability.md now names ONE helper rather than a list of compliant call
sites. That list is exactly how this drifted: the doc named the gate and
llm/pagination.ts, and the newer stages never joined it.

Tests: the 20-section recursion completes in ~300ms against a 300ms budget;
a warm cache still serves real titles with the budget exhausted.

2c90f5971d fix(mcplocal): no LLM call can hang a tool call forever
docs/reliability.md has stated the rule since it was written: "LLM-optional
operations must be time-bounded, fall back deterministically, and report the
degradation". The gate and llm/pagination.ts obey it. The newer proxymodel
stages never adopted it -- stages/paginate.ts:72 awaited ctx.llm.complete()
with no timeout and no signal, and its try/catch caught errors, not hangs.

So when a provider hung rather than erroring, the promise never settled, the
tool call never returned, mcplocal never wrote to the already-hijacked socket,
and the client waited out its own 1800s timeout. In the journal that is three
POST /projects/docmost/mcp requests accepted and never answered -- the only
three such requests in 9,600 across every project, each followed immediately
by [llm-adapter] "trying next" and [paginate] "Smart page titles failed".

It read as a Docmost transport fault for two sessions. It was neither: Docmost
answers /search in 203ms, and through mcplocal on a fresh session in 461ms.
docmost_search returns ~14KB and crosses the pagination threshold; update_page
returns a small ack and does not. One tool paginated, one did not, and only the
paginating one could hang.

Bound it centrally in the adapter rather than at each call site, so a stage
that passes no options is still bounded and a stage written next year inherits
the guarantee:

  - LLMCompleteOptions gains optional budgetMs/perCallTimeoutMs/signal. Optional
    matters -- seven inline stubs implement LLMProvider structurally and a
    required member would break every one.
  - LLMProviderAdapter.complete() runs one budget with a deadline across the
    whole failover chain, each attempt capped at min(perCall, remaining). A
    per-provider timeout would have made the worst case N x timeout; wrapping
    the method would have killed failover mid-chain.
  - Every attempt now gets a real AbortSignal. anthropic and openai (which back
    vllm) honour it; deepseek/ollama/gemini ignore it, and withTimeout's race
    unblocks the caller anyway -- exactly what its doc comment anticipated.
  - A caller abort stops failover: if nobody is waiting, don't burn the chain.

util/degrade.ts generalises the gate's bounded -> fallback -> loud log ->
degradedReason pattern into bounded(), which cannot throw, so the deterministic
fallback is unconditional rather than something a catch block must remember.
gate.ts is refactored onto it; plugin-gate and router-gate pass UNMODIFIED (61
tests), which is the proof the generalisation is faithful.

anySignal() rather than AbortSignal.any: that landed in Node 20.3 and
package.json declares >=20.0.0.

proxymodel-llm-adapter.test.ts now asserts signal: expect.any(AbortSignal) --
every provider attempt being cancellable is the guarantee, so it is pinned.

The smoke suite talks to the live mcplocal through the HTTP boundary, which
serves wire names since #124 — assertions expecting `favourite/`, `all/` and
`smoke-aws-docs/` prefixes now check the underscore wire form (config pins
stay canonical). These two files were the release-gate failures after the
bbd3188 rollout; 166/166 green against the live fleet after the update.

Follow-up to #124: the boundary WireNameCodec serves underscore-joined
names, but the gate plugin's tool inventories (initialize instructions and
begin_session response) still listed canonical `server/tool`, and the
favourite-index instruction told the model to prefer `favourite/<tool>` —
prose naming functions the model cannot call. Inventories now run through
sanitizeWireName and the instruction describes the favourite_/all_ prefixes.

Cosmetic for routing (slash names still pass through the codec) but
load-bearing for tool selection: models copy names out of prose.

(every name matching the OpenAI function-name charset), calling that wire
name must reach the upstream as bare `fetch_content`, and a legacy client
echoing the canonical `websearch/fetch_content` must still route.

The proxy namespaces tools as `server/tool` (and favourite-index presents
`favourite/<tool>` / `all/<server>/<tool>`). A `/` is not a valid character
in an OpenAI-style function name, so hosts that forward MCP tool names
verbatim as LLM function names depend on the model faithfully echoing an
illegal name. LibreChat did exactly that: deepseek-v4-flash intermittently
dropped the `websearch/` prefix, LibreChat's registry lookup failed, and it
reported "This tool's MCP server is temporarily unavailable" while nothing
was down — the calls never reached mcplocal at all (confirmed against the
AuditEvent table, 2026-08-25). Claude Code and the pi extension only dodge
this because they sanitize names client-side.

Fix at the HTTP boundary only: a WireNameCodec rewrites tools/list responses
to wire-safe names (`/` -> `_`, exact-match reverse map, deterministic
suffix on collision) and maps tools/call names back before routing. Wired
into both /mcp and /projects/:name/mcp. Everything inside the proxy —
routing maps, plugins, favourites config, audit events — keeps canonical
names, and unknown inbound names (legacy clients echoing slash names,
virtual tools) pass through unchanged, so existing clients keep working.

Codecs are keyed per project and outlive the router cache TTL so a client
can call a tool it listed minutes earlier; after a restart the client's
initialize-time tools/list repopulates the map.

fe9987cefd test(secrets): smoke-cover backend health honesty + cache correctness
Two of these four assertions currently FAIL against the live cluster, which
is the point: mcpd there still renders `Secrets: bao-k8s* ✓` from the
rotation field, and its JSON status carries no live/ready pair. Per the
project rule the fix is to deploy, not to relax the assertion.

The status check specifically rejects a bare "name ✓" with no qualifier —
that string is the old rendering and proves the probe was never consulted.

Deliberately does not take the real OpenBao down. Simulating an outage
against shared infrastructure to satisfy a test would be worse than the
bug it covers; the outage paths are unit-tested with an injected clock.

Docs: adds a Reliability section (request hardening, the stale-while-error
table, the cold-cache gap and why persisting values is not the answer,
live-vs-ready) and replaces the stale "Kubernetes ServiceAccount auth is
not shipped yet" note — it shipped in 5152066, and it is what the live
backend has used since June.

The instructions fetch was the one downstream call in getOrCreateRouter

mcpd answered 401, the catch swallowed it, and every session initialized
with no instructions while nothing looked broken. requestClient exists
precisely for this; use it.

740ce31469 fix(mcplocal): give proxied tools/call a 120s budget, not the 30s default
McpdUpstream.send routed every non-list method through the default-timeout
client, so any tool that legitimately runs past 30s — web_url_read through
a browser solver, a large PDF extraction, a slow retail site — died as
"mcpd proxy error: mcpd did not respond within 30000ms" while mcpd was
still working on it. LibreChat agents hit this constantly on real pages.

New TOOLCALL_TIMEOUT_MS (default 120s, env MCPLOCAL_TOOLCALL_TIMEOUT_MS)
sits between DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT_MS (list calls must stay short so a dead
upstream can't stall session init) and LONG_RUNNING_TIMEOUT_MS (chat and
inference, minutes). withTimeout preserves the caller token and headers.

UniFi tools were unusable from non-Claude agents. A tool result over 2000
chars is replaced with a table of contents and re-read by calling the tool
again with _resultId/_section, but those params were never declared on the
tool's inputSchema — and unifi-network and my-grafana ship
`additionalProperties: false`, so for a client that validates arguments the
drill-down call was illegal and the data unreachable. The stub's own wording
made it worse: "Use section parameter" names a param that does not exist;
sending it fell through to the upstream, re-paginated, and minted a fresh
_resultId. An unbounded loop.

UniFi took the blame because it is the one server whose results always trip
the threshold: get_devices was 11,718 chars, get_clients 136,696 across 19
pages with a 92-char page-1. Grafana and Gitea return compact results.

- content-pipeline gains onToolsList, declaring _resultId/_section on every
  tool it can paginate (gate tools excluded — they are intercepted before the
  pipeline runs). additionalProperties stays false: a property listed in
  `properties` is already legal under it, so declaring is enough and the
  upstream keeps its typo protection.
- createDefaultPlugin wired only the gate's onToolsList, so the pipeline's
  would have been dropped on the floor. Both now chain, gate first.
- _resultId without _section re-shows the table of contents instead of
  forwarding an unknown argument to a strict upstream.
- The stub names the tool, the live _resultId and a real section id.
- Nested MCP envelopes are collapsed. A server fronting another MCP server
  returns the inner result wrapped in its own content/structuredContent pair,
  so the payload arrives two or three times over. A layer is peeled only when
  it carries nothing the inner value lacks, which keeps it lossless. Live
  against the sre project: get_devices 11,718 -> 5,210 chars and no longer
  paginates at all; get_clients 136,696 -> 62,358 across 8 pages instead of 19.
- deploy/mcplocal.service shipped MCPLOCAL_MCPD_URL=http://10.0.0.194:3100,
  which is dead — every working machine had a hand-written drop-in. Points at
  the k8s ingress now.

`mcpctl chat reviewer` showed nothing until the turn finished, then dumped
the whole answer at once. mcpd streams token deltas and the CLI renders
them incrementally — the sole buffering point was mcplocal's catch-all
/api/v1/* proxy reading the whole SSE body via res.text() before replying.
The previous commit (cherry-picked from feat/agentic-teams) pipes the body
through instead; this one adds the cover that was missing:

- proxy-long-running.test.ts: a progressive-delivery test in which the
  stand-in mcpd withholds its final frame until the client has observed the
  first delta through the proxy. A buffering proxy cannot satisfy that
  ordering — verified: the test fails in 3s (no hang) against a res.text()
  proxy and passes against the piped one. The existing SSE test used
  inject(), which collects the whole body and so passes either way.

- agent-chat.smoke.test.ts: a live smoke that posts through mcplocal on
  localhost:3200 (the path `mcpctl chat` actually takes — every other chat
  smoke uses --direct and bypasses the proxy entirely) and asserts delta
  frames arrive spread across the generation window, not in one burst at
  stream end. Uses its own agent: the shared smoke agent pins replies to a
  single token, too short to tell live streaming from a buffer dump.

Also settles the strict-boolean-expressions lint on the auth-header check
the streaming split touched.

Local: workspace 2546 passed, proxy suite 10/10, smoke file loads + self-skips.

5a8185d7c9 fix(mcplocal): stop the 30s proxy timeout killing agent turns
`mcpctl chat <agent>` failed with

    HTTP 503 {"error":"service_unavailable","message":"Cannot reach mcpd daemon. Is it running?"}

while mcpd was answering /healthz in 32ms. The message was wrong in a way that
cost real debugging time: mcplocal was reaching mcpd fine and giving up after
30s. journalctl shows the signature plainly — statusCode 503 with
responseTime 30003.87 on POST /api/v1/agents/reviewer/chat.

This blocks the agentic-teams epic outright. An agent turn is a multi-turn
tool-use loop that runs for minutes by design, so a 30s ceiling on the chat path
is not a safety net, it is a guaranteed failure for every non-trivial turn.

Three defects, all in the same path:

1. One blanket budget for every forwarded route. DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS = 30_000 is
   right for CRUD and wrong for chat. Chat, project chat, llm infer and
   inference-task streams now get LONG_RUNNING_TIMEOUT_MS (600_000, override
   with MCPLOCAL_LONG_TIMEOUT_MS) — matching STREAM_TIMEOUT_MS, which the CLI
   already allowed. mcplocal in the middle was the binding constraint.

2. Timeouts were reported as connection failures. Split UpstreamTimeoutError
   out of ConnectionError and map it to 504 with an accurate message that says
   the daemon IS reachable. ConnectionError still means unreachable and still
   returns 503. Verified nothing else branches on ConnectionError.

3. SSE was buffered. `forward()` reads the whole body through res.text(), so
   even turns that finished in time arrived as one blob and the CLI's live
   token output never appeared. Streaming routes now use forwardStream() and
   pipe the body straight through, preserving content-type and
   x-accel-buffering (dropping the latter lets intermediaries re-buffer and
   reintroduces the stall).

Also closes the escape that produced the sibling `500 code:23` failure: the body
read in forward() was outside the try, so when mcpd had already written SSE
headers the raw DOMException reached Fastify unhandled.

Tests: 9 new proxy tests. The two that matter — "does not abort an agent chat
that outlives the CRUD budget" and "streams SSE through instead of buffering" —
were confirmed to FAIL against the pre-fix behaviour and pass after. Three
existing mcpd-client tests asserted the old taxonomy and were updated to assert
the new one deliberately.

Local: build clean, workspace 2375 passed, lint unchanged at 869.

NOT YET LIVE: mcplocal runs from the installed RPM, so this needs a package
rebuild + `systemctl --user restart mcplocal` to take effect.

release.sh printed `WARNING: Smoke tests failed!` and exited 0. That is how four
broken readiness probes shipped unnoticed on 2026-08-10 — the warning scrolled
past in the build log and the release reported success.

It now exits 1, with `MCPCTL_ALLOW_SMOKE_FAILURE=1` as the escape hatch. The
message is explicit that smoke runs LAST, against the installed binary: the
package is already published and installed, so the failure reports fleet
breakage rather than preventing a bad artifact.

Turning the gate on required fixing a latent hang first, or every release would
have blocked on it. `security.test.ts > /inspect SSE endpoint …` waited for a
response body that by design never ends, so it could only settle via the
socket's *inactivity* timeout — and /inspect relays every project's MCP traffic,
so during a full smoke run it is never idle. Run alone it passed and looked
flaky; run with the suite it failed every time.

httpRequest gains `headersOnly`, which resolves on the response headers and
hangs up. The assertion only ever needed the status line.

Verified: full smoke suite 158/158 (was 157/158 with this test timing out); the
gate block lifted verbatim from release.sh exits 1 with a stubbed failing smoke
run, and exits 0 reaching subsequent code under MCPCTL_ALLOW_SMOKE_FAILURE=1.

reported its own scaffolding as a fleet regression — and because the fixture is

that assertion on every run.

Verified live: with this applied, "every RUNNING server has a readiness probe

`mcpctl get instances` showed all eight servers healthy while the UniFi one
had never once reached its controller. The default probe is `tools/list`,
which MCP servers answer from a static in-process table — no credentials, no
upstream, ~3ms. It cannot fail for any reason the user cares about, so it was
reporting `healthy` for every process that managed to start.

Split the two passes:

  healthy  — readiness: `tools/call` on `healthCheck.tool`. The upstream
             answered, so the server can actually do its job.
  live     — liveness: `tools/list` only. Process up, upstream unverified.

`live` is now the default for any server without a `healthCheck.tool`. It is
not a warning; it is an admission that nothing is watching that server. Probe
events name which probe ran and which tool ("Readiness check (list_sites)
passed"), so the events log distinguishes the two after the fact.

Also:
- `healthCheck.tool` is optional now, so the timings can be tuned without
  inventing a readiness probe.
- `create server --health-check-tool/-args/-interval/-timeout/
  -failure-threshold`, per the rule that everything applyable is a create
  flag. Merges over a `--from-template` healthCheck rather than replacing it.
- `describe instance` explains a `live` verdict instead of leaving it cryptic.
- create.ts held a raw NUL byte in a string literal, which made grep treat the
  whole file as binary and silently skip it. Escaped as `\0`.

Verified against the live fleet: with readiness probes configured, my-grafana
went unhealthy (Grafana API 403) and my-node-red degraded (connect timeout to
a Tailscale address) — both had read healthy for months.

a90dd091f0 fix(smoke): actually clean up smoke-test resources
341 of 356 projects on the shared mcpd were smoke-test leftovers, plus 11
never-expiring `smoke-*` mcptokens sitting on the real `mcpctl-development`
and `sre` projects. Enough to make the project picker unusable.

Two causes, both silent:

- `delete project X --force` — `--force` is valid on `create project` but NOT
  on `delete`, so every cleanup call exited non-zero and deleted nothing.
  project-llm-ref's afterAll looked correct and had never worked, which is why
  there were 84 each of smoke-proj-{ok,orphan,none}-*.
- mcptoken.smoke had no afterAll at all; its cleanup was an `it()` at the end
  of the file, so it was skipped whenever an earlier assertion failed.

Cleanup now lives in `afterAll` (runs on failure too) and is no longer gated
on the health probe: the project is created through mcpd, which can be up when
the gateway probe is not, and deleting a project that was never created is a
no-op.

Adds `pnpm smoke:clean` for the case afterAll cannot cover — a killed process
(CI timeout, Ctrl-C, OOM). Dry-run by default, `--yes` to apply. Only touches
`smoke-*` names and protects the shared `smoke-data` / `smoke-aws-docs`
fixture, which five suites depend on and which must survive a concurrent run.

Verified end to end: created a throwaway smoke project, confirmed the dry run
lists without deleting, then `--yes` removed it and left all 15 real projects
untouched.

JSON with a <=8-word reasoning → ~2s (vs ~9s prose, or ~1.2s with no reasoning).
Validated live against vllm-fast (glm-4.6-reap-fast): 2.0s, valid selection JSON,

Lets ops route gate prompt-selection at a fast (no-think) server Llm independent
of the project's chat llmProvider — so selection stays ~1-2s while chat keeps its
thinking model. Overrides the project llmProvider for the gate's server-selection
path; unset → prior behavior (use the project's llmProvider). Pairs with the
litellm qwen3-fast no-think alias (kubernetes-deployment) + a `vllm-fast` mcpd Llm.

27480181bf feat(gate): ask reasoning models for a fast, no-think selection response
Prompt selection is mechanical classification — it gains nothing from chain-of-
thought, and a reasoning model (qwen3-thinking) otherwise burns its whole budget
reasoning (~40s, 6k+ chars) and blows the gate's 8s timeout. The gate's server
selection request now includes thinking-suppression hints, forwarded verbatim by
mcpd's passthrough adapter to litellm/vLLM:
  chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking=false  (Qwen3 hard-off)
  reasoning_effort=low                         (o-series / newer vLLM)
Harmless for models that ignore them; if a backend rejects them the selector
falls back to the local provider. Override via MCPCTL_GATE_SELECT_EXTRA_BODY
(JSON), or '' to disable.

NOT yet validated live — the qwen3-thinking vLLM is crashlooping again (0/1,
HTTP 500), and whether litellm forwards chat_template_kwargs to vLLM is unconfirmed
(the /no_think prompt directive was NOT honored). Validate when the backend
recovers. mcpld gate/selector tests green (75).

Cloud/server keys belong at the k8s/mcpd level; mcplocal handles only the user's
personal tokens. The gate's prompt-selection used mcplocal's LOCAL provider
registry (heavy=anthropic = the user's OAuth token, which is API-gated and 404s),
so selection always degraded.

Now LlmPromptSelector tries sources in priority order: (1) the project's server
Llm via mcpd's inference proxy (POST /api/v1/llms/:name/infer) — cloud/server
keys stay at k8s — then (2) the local personal-token provider as fallback. First
source that returns valid selection JSON wins. Extracted pickCompletionText
(content ?? reasoning_content) + extractSelection helpers.

Wiring: GatePluginConfig.llmProvider (from the project), threaded via
createDefaultPlugin; handleBeginSession builds serverInfer from ctx.postToMcpd.
Verified live: POST .../llms/vllm-current/infer returns valid selection JSON
(qwen3-thinking, 4000-token budget). + selector tests (server preferred, local
fallback on error, server-only). mcplocal suite green (755).

366b505c00 fix(providers): anthropic surfaces HTTP errors too (gate parity with openai)
Some checks failed

CI/CD / publish (pull_request) Has been skipped
The local mcplocal gate resolves heavy=[anthropic]; its OAuth-gated key 404s the
configured opus-4 model, and anthropic.ts (like openai.ts before this series)
JSON.parsed the error body as a completion → empty content → the gate's
misleading "did not contain valid selection JSON". Reject on status >= 400 with
"Anthropic HTTP <status>: <body>" so the true reason (model-not-found / auth)
surfaces as the degradedReason. + parity test.

Note: this makes the error honest; it does not make the local gate SUCCEED — that
needs a working heavy provider (the anthropic OAuth token is fundamentally gated).
The qwen3-thinking gate path (k8s mcplocal) is addressed by the budget+reasoning
fix in the previous commit.

The presented→canonical resolver was only built during tools/list, so a

namespaced router and 404'd (all/ was fine — it prefix-strips). Real MCP clients
list first, but the smoke test's initialize→call flow exposed it. Extract
buildPresentation() and lazily rebuild the resolver in onToolCallBefore when a
favourite//all/ name isn't resolved yet. + unit test (favourite/ call with no
prior list) and realistic listTools() in the smoke routing case.

9dbd2f175d fix(gate): stop masking backend errors + rescue thinking-model prompt selection

Two independent, live-reproduced causes of "Smart prompt-selection unavailable
(LLM response did not contain valid selection JSON)" in the gate:

- Cause B (openai.ts request): the response handler JSON.parsed the body with no
  res.statusCode check, so a LiteLLM/vLLM HTTP 500 ("Connection error") parsed as
  an empty completion and surfaced as generic "bad JSON", masking backend-down.
  Now reject on status >= 400 with "OpenAI HTTP <status>: <body>" so the selector
  reports the true degradedReason.
- Cause A (parseResponse + selector budget): a reasoning model (qwen3-thinking)
  spends its whole 1024-token budget in reasoning_content and emits content=null,
  so the {selectedNames} JSON never appears. parseResponse now falls back to
  reasoning_content (incl. provider_specific_fields) when content is empty, and
  the selector budget is raised 1024 -> 4000 (env MCPCTL_GATE_SELECT_MAX_TOKENS)
  so thinking + the JSON answer both fit.

Note: mcpd's chat path got a reasoning_content fallback in PR #67; this is the
separate mcplocal gate-selection provider, which never did. Tests: openai-provider
(500 rejects, reasoning_content capture/preference). mcplocal suite green (749).

Measured winner from the DGX-Spark bake-off (toolsim.py, 145-tool catalog): a
curated favourite/<tool> shortlist + the full all/<server>/<tool> catalog + a
load-bearing "prefer favourite/ first" instruction nearly halved wander (37→20)
and 2.5x'd first-pick (2→5/8) vs a flat catalog. The instruction is load-bearing;
enriching descriptions did not help.

- New mcplocal plugin `favourite-index.ts`: composes AFTER gate (no-ops while
  gated), reshapes the ungated upstream catalog into favourite/ + all/, injects
  the instruction (onInitialize), and rewrites presented names back to canonical
  server/tool in onToolCallBefore so normal routing + content-pipeline still run.
  Gate/agent virtual tools pass through untouched; favourites are upstream-only.
- compose.ts: onInitialize now concatenates plugin instructions (was first-non-null)
  so favindex can contribute its banner alongside the gate's.
- Per-project config `Project.favouriteIndex` {enabled, tools[], maxFavourites};
  surfaced to the proxy via discovery; wired at project-mcp-endpoint when enabled.
- Usage derivation: mcpd tool-usage ranking over tool_call_trace events
  (normalizing presented names → canonical), GET /api/v1/audit/tool-usage, and
  `mcpctl favourites suggest|list`.
- CLI: `create project` gains --favourite/--favourite-index/--max-favourites;
  favouriteIndex round-trips through get -o yaml | apply -f. Completions regenerated.
- Tests: plugin unit (presentation, rewrite routing, gated no-op, collisions),
  compose merge, canonicalizeToolName, buildFavouriteIndex, + a live smoke test.
- Docs: docs/tool-presentation.md.

CI/CD / publish (pull_request) Has been cancelled
mcpctl hung on prompt-reading whenever the LLM misbehaved (thinking model =
minutes; drifted model = silent failure). Root cause: the gate's begin_session
prompt-selection called the LLM with no timeout, its fallback only fired on
error and was silent, and it forced the project's vLLM model onto the anthropic
heavy provider (so selection failed silently every time).

- New withTimeout(run, ms, label): Promise.race + AbortSignal (fetch-based
  providers cancel). CompletionOptions.signal threaded into anthropic/openai.
- Gate begin_session: LLM selection is time-bounded (MCPCTL_GATE_LLM_TIMEOUT_MS,
  8s); on timeout/error it falls back to deterministic tag matching, logs
  [gate] loudly, prepends a ⚠ degraded note to the response, and sets
  degraded/degradedReason on the audit gate_decision.
- Gate selector no longer forces the project vLLM model — uses the heavy
  provider's own model (fixes the always-silent-fail bug).
- Pagination smart-index is time-bounded too (falls back to byte-range pages).
- Chat (LLM-essential) surfaces the upstream status+body (names model+reason)
  instead of "Adapter returned no choice".
- docs/reliability.md documents the principle.

Tests: with-timeout unit tests; gate degradation test (error → visible ⚠ +
deterministic prompts, no hang). mcplocal 737 + mcpd 945 green; tsc clean.

2cceeb7093 feat(passwd): mcpctl passwd + RBAC-gated password change
Restores the lost `mcpctl passwd` command and builds the backend it needs.

Backend (mcpd):
- POST /api/v1/users/me/password — self-service change, requires current
  password. Gated by a new `set-own-password` operation.
- PUT /api/v1/users/:id/password — admin reset of another user, gated by
  edit:users (admins have edit:*). Added users name-resolver for CUID→email.
- UserService.setPassword/verifyPassword; UserRepository.update accepts
  passwordHash + findByIdWithHash.

RBAC, no exceptions: self password change is a default, admin-revocable
permission. Every new user gets a `self-<id>` RbacDefinition granting
`set-own-password`, seeded on create + bootstrap, gated by the
`allowSelfPasswordChange` system setting (stored in the mcpctl-system-settings
secret, default ON; admins disable globally or revoke per-user).

CLI: src/cli/src/commands/passwd.ts (self vs admin paths) + completions.

Tests: users-password route tests (8), auth-bootstrap grant assertion,
passwd live smoke test. Full suite 2214 passing; zero new lint errors.

db57bb5856 feat(mcpd+mcplocal+cli): propose-learnings system skill, propose_skill MCP tool, mcpctl review
Phase 4 of the Skills + Revisions + Proposals work. Closes the reflexive
loop: Claude sessions can now propose back content (prompts or skills)
that maintainers triage via a CLI queue. The system documents itself
to Claude through the same mechanism it documents to humans.

## What's added

### propose-learnings global skill (mcpd bootstrap)
- src/mcpd/src/bootstrap/system-skills.ts — idempotent upsert, mirrors
  system-project.ts. Single skill seeded today: `propose-learnings`,
  ~430 words, explains when to engage with propose_prompt vs
  propose_skill, what makes a good proposal, what NOT to propose, and
  the review→approve flow. Priority 9, global scope.
- main.ts: `bootstrapSystemSkills(prisma)` called right after
  `bootstrapSystemProject`.

### gate-encouragement-propose system prompt
- system-project.ts gains a new gate prompt (priority 10, alongside the
  other gate-* prompts) that nudges Claude to call propose_prompt when
  it discovers a project-specific lesson. Pairs with the propose-learnings
  skill — the prompt is the trigger, the skill is the manual.

### propose_skill MCP tool (mcplocal)
- proxymodel/plugins/gate.ts: new virtual tool registered alongside
  propose_prompt. Posts to /api/v1/proposals (the new endpoint from
  PR-2) with resourceType='skill'. Tool description steers Claude
  toward propose_prompt for project-specific knowledge and reserves
  propose_skill for cross-cutting cases. propose_prompt's tool
  description is also expanded to point at the propose-learnings skill
  for guidance — the bare "creates a pending request" copy was bland
  enough that nothing in Claude's prior would actually make it engage.

### mcpctl review CLI
- New top-level command in src/cli/src/commands/review.ts.
  Subcommands:
    mcpctl review pending       List pending proposals
    mcpctl review next          Show oldest pending
    mcpctl review show <id>     Full detail
    mcpctl review approve <id>  POST /proposals/:id/approve
    mcpctl review reject <id> --reason "..."
    mcpctl review diff <id>     Side-by-side current vs proposed
- Wired into src/cli/src/index.ts. Registered after createApproveCommand
  to keep the existing project-ops `mcpctl approve promptrequest`
  command working (legacy) while the new review surface is the
  preferred path.

## Tests touched

- bootstrap-system-project.test.ts already counts via
  getSystemPromptNames() length, so it picked up the new prompt
  automatically; only the priority assertion needed nothing — the
  new prompt starts with `gate-` so the existing `gate-* → priority 10`
  invariant validates it.
- system-prompt-validation.test.ts: bumped expected length from 11→12
  and added a `toContain('gate-encouragement-propose')` assertion.

Full suite: 158 test files / 2127 tests green.

## What's NOT in this PR

- A SkillService mock-based test for the proposal approval handler —
  the PromptService approval handler is structurally identical and
  already covered; the database-backed integration is exercised in
  PR-2's tests.
- Changes to mcplocal's existing handleProposePrompt URL — it still
  POSTs to the legacy /api/v1/projects/.../promptrequests endpoint,
  which works because PR-2 left that route in place. PR-7 will
  cut mcplocal over to /api/v1/proposals along with the
  PromptRequest table rename + drop.

Adds two new subcommands on top of v7's provider lifecycle CLI:

  mcpctl provider disable vllm-local   # release GPU + survive restart
  mcpctl provider enable  vllm-local   # clear the flag, ready to chat

Use case: vLLM keeps crashing on engine init. `down` works for "now"
but the next chat triggers a restart; `disable` writes
`disabled: true` into the provider's entry in ~/.mcpctl/config.json
and short-circuits complete()/ensureRunning() until you re-enable.

Implementation:
- LlmProviderEntry / LlmProviderFileEntry: new optional `disabled` field
- ManagedVllmProvider: setDisabled(bool), isDisabled(), gate in
  complete()/ensureRunning(), expose `disabled` in getStatus()
- mcplocal HTTP: POST /llm/providers/:name/{disable,enable} write the
  config file and apply the change live; /start returns 409 when the
  target is disabled instead of silently failing
- Boot: createSingleProvider honors `entry.disabled` so a known-bad
  vLLM doesn't auto-start on the first chat after mcplocal restart
- CLI: `disable` / `enable` subcommands on `mcpctl provider`; status
  output now shows `(disabled)` next to the state

`enable` is live — provider stays in the registry while disabled, so
flipping the flag back is enough; no mcplocal restart needed.

Tests: cli 437/437, mcplocal 731/731.

                                       for unmanaged (anthropic, openai, …)
  POST /llm/providers/:name/start    → calls warmup() (202 + initial state)
  POST /llm/providers/:name/stop     → calls dispose() (200 + post-stop state)

Stop and start return 400 for non-managed providers — stopping an API-key
provider is meaningless. The CLI surfaces the error verbatim.

Restarting mcplocal would also free the GPU but drops the SSE connection
to mcpd and forces every virtual Llm to re-publish; this is the targeted,
non-disruptive escape hatch.

The completions test gained a `topLevelMarkers` filter so a sub-command
named `status` (under `provider`) doesn't trip the existing "non-project
commands must guard with __mcpctl_has_project" rule.

Tests: cli 437/437, mcplocal 731/731.

CI/CD / publish (pull_request) Has been skipped
Wraps up v7 Stage 3:

- docs/virtual-llms.md gains a "Visibility scope (v7)" section that
  explains public-vs-private semantics, who skips the filter (owner +
  `*` admin), how to grant single-row exceptions via name-scoped RBAC,
  per-row override syntax in mcplocal config, the `--visibility` flag
  on `mcpctl create llm`/`create agent`, and YAML round-trip behavior.
- New smoke (virtual-llm-visibility.smoke.test.ts) publishes one
  public + one private virtual Llm via the registrar against the
  live mcpd and asserts the GET /llms response carries visibility
  + a non-empty ownerId for both, and that GET /llms/<name> returns
  the private row to its owner without 404. Cross-user filtering is
  covered by mcpd's visibility-filter unit tests; smoke proves the
  fields make the round-trip end-to-end.

Will pass once mcpd is rebuilt + deployed via fulldeploy.sh on this
branch (current main is v6, doesn't yet serialize visibility).

2c98a21323 feat(mcpd+cli+mcplocal): wire visibility filter through routes, CLI, registrar (v7 Stage 2)
Stage 1 added the schema + service predicate. This stage threads the
filter through every surface that lists or fetches Llms/Agents:

- mcpd routes: viewerFromRequest helper builds a Viewer from the
  request's RBAC scope. List endpoints rely on the existing
  preSerialization hook (now two-phase: name-scope first, visibility
  second). get-by-id/get-by-name routes pass the viewer to the service
  which 404s on hidden rows.
- RBAC: AllowedScope gains `isAdmin` to distinguish a `*` cross-resource
  grant (admins skip visibility) from a plain `view:llms` grant
  (wildcard for RBAC, but visibility still applies). FastifyRequest
  augmentation updated.
- VirtualLlmService.register accepts ownerId and stamps it on freshly
  created virtual rows; defaults visibility to 'private' on first
  create, leaves existing rows untouched on sticky reconnect.
- AgentService.registerVirtualAgents mirrors the same defaults.
- mcplocal: LlmProviderFileEntry / AgentFileEntry / RegistrarPublishedX
  carry visibility through to the register payload (default 'private').
- CLI: VISIBILITY column on `mcpctl get llm` and `mcpctl get agent`,
  `--visibility` flag on `mcpctl create llm` / `create agent`. YAML
  round-trip works because visibility passes through stripInternalFields
  unchanged (ownerId is already stripped). Completions regenerated.

Tests: mcpd 908/908, mcplocal 731/731, cli 437/437.

c346b93789 feat(mcplocal): per-publisher namespacing for virtual Llms/Agents (v6 Stage 1)
Two mcplocals sharing the same config template (`vllm-local-qwen3`)
no longer collide on mcpd's cluster-wide unique-name constraint.
Each publisher can append a suffix derived from hostname (or any
other stable per-host identifier) so the wire-side names become
distinct (`vllm-local-qwen3-alice`, `vllm-local-qwen3-bob`).
Pair with an explicit `poolName` (v4) and the rows still appear as
one logical pool — agents pinned to any member load-balance across
both.

Config (`~/.mcpctl/config.json`):

  {
    "publisher": { "suffix": "auto" }   // → os.hostname() sanitized
                  // or { "suffix": "alice" } for explicit override
  }

Or via env: `MCPCTL_PUBLISHER_SUFFIX=alice` (operations override).

Resolution order: env var → config.publisher.suffix → empty
(legacy behavior, no mangling). Sanitization lowercases, replaces
non-`[a-z0-9-]` runs with `-`, strips leading/trailing dashes —
the result must satisfy mcpd's name validation, otherwise the
register POST would 422.

Wire shape: RegistrarPublishedProvider gets an optional
`publishName` field. When set, the wire payload's `name` is
`publishName` (suffixed); when not, today's `provider.name`.
Inbound infer/wake task lookups match `publishName ?? provider.name`
so the local registry stays addressable by its original name —
SSE frames carrying the suffixed wire name still find their
provider.

Agents are forwarded with their own suffixed name AND a
`llmName` rewritten through the same per-local→wire map so the
agent rows pin to the suffixed Llm wire name (otherwise
registerVirtualAgents would 404).

Tests: 8 new tests covering applyPublisherSuffix (empty, normal,
length limit, exact-100) and loadPublisherSuffix (env override,
absent, sanitization, dash stripping). Existing registrar tests
untouched — no suffix means no behavior change.

CLI surface for the durable queue:

- `mcpctl get tasks` — table view (ID, STATUS, POOL, LLM, MODEL,
  STREAM, AGE, WORKER). Aliases `task`, `tasks`, `inference-task`,
  `inference-tasks` all normalize to the canonical plural so URL
  construction works uniformly. RESOURCE_ALIASES + completions
  generator updated.
- `mcpctl chat-llm <name> --async -m <msg>` — enqueue and exit. stdout
  is just the task id (pipeable into `xargs mcpctl get task`); stderr
  carries human-readable status. REPL mode is rejected for --async
  (fire-and-forget doesn't make sense without -m).

GC ticker in mcpd: 5-min interval. Pending tasks past 1 h queue
timeout flip to error with a clear message; terminal tasks past 7 d
retention get deleted. Both queries are index-backed.

Crash fix uncovered by the smoke: when the async route doesn't await
ref.done, a later cancel/error rejected the in-flight Promise as
unhandled and crashed mcpd. The route now attaches a no-op `.catch`
so the legacy `done` semantic still works for sync callers (chat,
direct infer) without taking out the process for async ones. The
EnqueueInferOptions also gained an explicit `ownerId` field so the
async API can stamp the authenticated user on the row instead of
inheriting 'system' from the constructor's resolveOwner — without
this, every GET/DELETE from the original caller would 404 due to
foreign-owner mismatch.

Smoke (tests/smoke/inference-task.smoke.test.ts):

  1. POST /inference-tasks while no worker bound → row=pending.
  2. Bring a registrar online → bindSession drain claims and
     dispatches → worker complete()s → row=completed → GET returns
     the assistant body.
  3. Stop worker, enqueue, DELETE → row=cancelled, persisted.

docs/inference-tasks.md (new): full data model, lifecycle diagram,
async API reference, CLI examples, RBAC table, GC defaults, and the
v5 limitations / v6 roadmap. Cross-linked from virtual-llms.md and
agents.md.

Tests + smoke: mcpd 893/893, mcplocal 723/723, cli 437/437, full
smoke 146/146 (was 144, +2 new task smoke). Live mcpd verified via
manual curl: enqueue → cancel → re-fetch — no crash, owner scoping
returns 404 on foreign ids, GC ticker logs at info when it sweeps.

v5 complete: durable queue (Stage 1) + VirtualLlmService rewire
(Stage 2) + async API & RBAC (Stage 3) + CLI/GC/smoke/docs (Stage 4).

Smoke (tests/smoke/llm-pool.smoke.test.ts): two in-process registrars
publish virtual Llms with distinct names but a shared poolName, then:

  1. /api/v1/llms/<name>/members surfaces both with the correct
     effective pool key, size, activeCount, and per-member kind/status.
  2. Chat through an agent pinned to one pool member dispatches across
     the pool — verified by running 12 calls and asserting at least
     one response from each backend (the random-shuffle selection
     would have to hit only-A or only-B in 12 fair coin flips, ~1/2048).
  3. Failover: stop one publisher, the surviving member still serves
     chat. /members shows the stopped row as inactive immediately
     (unbindSession runs synchronously on SSE close).

docs/virtual-llms.md gets a full "LB pools (v4)" section with the
two-field schema model, dispatcher selection + failover semantics,
public + virtual declaration examples, list/describe rendering, the
"pin to specific instance" escape hatch, and an API surface entry
for /members. docs/agents.md cross-link extended.

Tests: full smoke 144/144 (was 141, +3 for the new pool smoke).
Stages 1-3 ship the complete v4 — public and virtual Llms can both
join pools, agents transparently load-balance across them, yaml
round-trip preserves poolName, and the existing single-Llm world
keeps working byte-identically when poolName is null.

e21f96080d feat(mcpd+cli+mcplocal): /llms/<name>/members + POOL column + --pool-name (v4 Stage 2)
Surfaces the v4 pool model end-to-end:

- mcpd: GET /api/v1/llms/:name/members returns the effective pool the
  named anchor belongs to, plus aggregate stats (size, activeCount,
  explicit vs implicit pool key). RBAC inherits from `view:llms` —
  same as the single-Llm route. Members are full LlmView shapes so
  callers don't need a second roundtrip to render the pool block.

- mcpd: VirtualLlmService.register accepts an optional `poolName` on
  RegisterProviderInput; the route's `coerceProviderInput` validates
  the same character set as CreateLlmSchema.poolName. Backwards
  compatible — older mcplocals that don't send the field continue to
  publish solo Llms.

- CLI `get llm` table: new POOL column right after NAME. Solo rows
  show "-" so the "no pool / pool of 1" case is unambiguous (per
  user direction "make sure we see it, prominently visible and
  impossible to mistake").

- CLI `describe llm`: fetches /members and renders a Pool block at
  the top of the detail view when the row is in an explicit pool OR
  when its implicit pool has size > 1. Each member line shows
  kind/status; the anchor row gets "← this row". Block is suppressed
  for solo rows so describe stays compact in the common case.

- CLI `create llm --pool-name <name>` flag and apply schema both
  accept the new field. Yaml round-trip preserves it: get -o yaml
  emits `poolName: <name>`, apply -f re-imports it without diff.
  Verified end-to-end against the live mcpd.

- mcplocal: LlmProviderFileEntry gains optional `poolName`; main.ts
  and registrar.ts thread it through into the register payload. Use
  case for distributed inference: each user's mcplocal picks a
  unique `name` (e.g. `vllm-<host>-qwen3`) but a shared `poolName`
  (e.g. `user-vllm-qwen3-thinking`); agents see one logical pool
  that auto-grows as workers come online.

- Shell completions: regenerated from source via the existing
  scripts/generate-completions.ts. `--pool-name` now suggests in
  fish + bash for `mcpctl create llm`.

Tests: +3 new mcpd route tests for /members (explicit pool, solo
pool of 1, missing-anchor 404). All suites green:
  mcpd 868/868 (was 865, +3),
  mcplocal 723/723,
  cli 437/437.

CLI: `mcpctl get agent` table view gains KIND and STATUS columns
mirroring the `get llm` shape from v1. Public agents render as
`public/active` (the AgentRow defaults) and virtual ones surface their
true lifecycle state, so `mcpctl get agent` becomes a single-pane view
for both manually-created and mcplocal-published personas.

Smoke: tests/smoke/virtual-agent.smoke.test.ts mirrors virtual-llm's
in-process registrar pattern — publishes a fake provider + agent in
one round-trip, confirms mcpd surfaces the agent kind=virtual /
status=active under /api/v1/agents, then disconnects and verifies the
paired Llm-and-Agent both flip to inactive (deletion is GC-driven, not
disconnect-driven, so the rows must still exist post-stop). Heartbeat-
stale and 4 h sweep paths are covered by the unit suite to keep smoke
duration in check.

Docs: docs/virtual-llms.md gets a "Virtual agents (v3)" section with a
config sample, lifecycle notes, listing example, and the cluster-wide
name-uniqueness caveat. The API surface block now mentions the new
`agents[]` field on _provider-register, the join-by-session heartbeat
behavior, and the `GET /api/v1/agents` lifecycle fields. docs/agents.md
gains a one-paragraph note pointing to the v3 publishing path.

Tests: full smoke suite 141/141 (was 139, +2 new), unit suites
unchanged (mcpd 860/860, mcplocal 723/723).

Five real bugs surfaced by the agent-chat smoke against live
qwen3-thinking. None of these are fixed by changing the test — the
test was right to fail.

1. openai-passthrough adapter doubled `/v1` in the request URL. The
   adapter hard-codes `/v1/chat/completions` after the configured base,
   but every OpenAI-compat provider documents its base URL with a
   trailing `/v1` (api.openai.com/v1, llm.example.com/v1, …). Users
   pasting that conventional shape produced
   `https://x/v1/v1/chat/completions` → 404. endpointUrl now strips a
   trailing `/v1` so both forms canonicalize. `/v1beta` (Anthropic-style)
   is preserved.

2. Non-streaming chat returned an empty assistant when thinking models
   (qwen3-thinking, deepseek-reasoner, OpenAI o1) emitted only
   `reasoning_content` with `content: null`. extractChoice now also
   pulls reasoning (every spelling the streaming parser already knows
   about), and a new pickAssistantText helper falls back to it when
   content is empty. A `[response truncated by max_tokens]` marker is
   appended when finish_reason is `length`, so users see the cut-off
   instead of guessing why the answer is short. Symmetric streaming
   fix: the chatStream loop accumulates reasoning and yields ONE
   synthesized `text` frame at the end when content stayed empty,
   keeping the CLI's stdout (which only prints `text` deltas) in sync
   with the persisted thread message.

3. `mcpctl get agent X -o yaml` emitted `kind: public` (the v3
   lifecycle field) instead of `kind: agent` (apply envelope), so
   round-tripping through `apply -f` failed. Same fix shape as the v1
   Llm strip in toApplyDocs — drop kind/status/lastHeartbeatAt/
   inactiveSince/providerSessionId for the agents resource too.

4. Non-streaming `mcpctl chat` printed `thread:<cuid>` (no space) on
   stderr; streaming printed `(thread: <cuid>)` (with space). Tests
   and any other regex watching for one form missed the other.
   Standardize on `thread: <cuid>` (single space) in both paths.

5. agent-chat.smoke's `run()` used `execSync`, which discards stderr on
   success — making any `expect(stderr).toMatch(...)` assertion
   structurally impossible to satisfy in the happy path. Switch to
   `spawnSync` so stderr is actually captured. Includes a small
   shell-style argv splitter so the existing call sites with quoted
   multi-word values (`--system-prompt "..."`) keep working.

Tests: +6 new mcpd unit tests (4 chat-service for the reasoning
fallback / truncation marker / content-preference / streaming synth;
2 llm-adapters for the URL strip + /v1beta preservation). Full mcpd
+ mcplocal + smoke green: 860/860 + 723/723 + 139/139.

58bc277242 feat(mcpd+mcplocal): register-agents endpoint + mcplocal agents block (v3 Stage 3)
Extends the existing `_provider-register` payload with an optional `agents`
array so a single round-trip atomically publishes both virtual Llms and
their pinned virtual Agents. v1/v2 publishers (providers-only) keep
working unchanged — the agents path is gated on the route receiving an
AgentService instance, otherwise it logs a warning and ignores the array.

mcplocal config gains a top-level `agents` block (loadLocalAgents)
mirroring the providers shape. The registrar reads it, builds
RegistrarPublishedAgent entries against the published provider names,
and folds them into the same register POST. mcpd routes the agents
through AgentService.registerVirtualAgents(sessionId, ..., ownerId),
which was added in Stage 2.

No CLI changes here — `mcpctl chat <virtual-agent>` already works once
chat.service has the kind=virtual branch (Stage 1) and the agents are
present in the Agent table. CLI columns + smoke land in Stage 4.

Closes v2 (wake-on-demand). Same shape as v1's stage 6: smoke
exercises the live-cluster path, docs lose the "v2 reserved" caveat
and gain a full wake-recipe section.

Smoke (virtual-llm.smoke.test.ts):
- New "wake-on-demand" describe block runs alongside the v1 tests.
- Spins a tiny in-process HTTP "wake controller"; the published
  provider's isAvailable() returns false until the wake POST flips
  the bool. Asserts:
    1. Provider publishes as kind=virtual / status=hibernating.
    2. First inference triggers the wake recipe, the recipe POSTs
       to the controller, the provider becomes available, mcpd
       relays the inference, and the row settles to active.
- Cleans up the row + wake server in afterAll.

Docs (docs/virtual-llms.md):
- Lifecycle table updates the `hibernating` description from
  "reserved for v2" to the actual v2 semantics.
- New "Wake-on-demand (v2)" section: configuration shapes for both
  recipe types (http + command), the wake-then-infer flow diagram,
  concurrent-infer dedup, failure semantics.
- Roadmap drops v2; v3-v5 still listed.

Workspace: 2050/2050 (smoke runs separately; the new SSE-based wake
test runs only against a live cluster, not under \`pnpm test:run\`).

v2 closes. v3 = virtual agents, v4 = LB pool by model, v5 = queue.

af0fabd84f feat(mcplocal+mcpd): wake-recipe config + wake-task execution (v2 Stage 1)
First half of v2 — mcplocal can now declare a hibernating backend and
respond to a `wake` task by running a configured recipe. v2 Stage 2
will wire mcpd to dispatch the wake task before relaying inference.

Config (LlmProviderFileEntry):
- New \`wake\` block on a published provider:
    wake:
      type: http        # or: command
      url: ...           # http only
      method: POST       # http only, default POST
      headers: {...}     # http only
      body: ...          # http only
      command: ...       # command only
      args: [...]        # command only
      maxWaitSeconds: 60 # how long to poll isAvailable() after wake fires

Registrar (mcplocal):
- At publish time, providers with a wake recipe whose isAvailable()
  returns false report initialStatus=hibernating to mcpd. Without a
  wake recipe (legacy v1) or when already up, status stays active.
- handleWakeTask: runs the recipe (HTTP request OR child-process
  spawn), then polls isAvailable() up to maxWaitSeconds, sending a
  heartbeat each loop so mcpd's GC sweep doesn't time us out
  mid-boot. Reports { ok, ms } on success or { error } on
  timeout/recipe failure via the existing _provider-task/:id/result.
- Replaces the v1 stub that rejected wake tasks with "not implemented".

mcpd VirtualLlmService:
- RegisterProviderInput gains optional initialStatus ('active' |
  'hibernating'). The register/upsert path uses it for both new and
  reconnecting rows. Defaults to 'active' so v1 publishers still
  work unchanged.
- Provider-register route's coercer accepts the new field.

Tests: 3 new in registrar.test.ts cover initialStatus selection
(hibernating when wake configured + unavailable, active otherwise,
active when no wake even if unavailable). 8/8 registrar tests, 833/833
mcpd unchanged.

  relay with the provider's content + finish_reason, and a 503
  appears immediately after registrar.stop() (publisher offline).

97174f450f feat(mcplocal): virtual-LLM registrar (v1 Stage 4)
The mcplocal counterpart to mcpd's VirtualLlmService. After this stage,
flipping \`publish: true\` on a provider in ~/.mcpctl/config.json makes
the provider show up in mcpctl get llm with kind=virtual the next time
mcplocal restarts; running an inference against it relays through this
client back to the local LlmProvider.

Config:
- LlmProviderFileEntry gains optional \`publish: boolean\` (default false,
  so existing setups don't change).

Registrar (new file: providers/registrar.ts):
- start(): if any provider is opted-in, POSTs to
  /api/v1/llms/_provider-register with the publishable set, persists
  the returned providerSessionId to ~/.mcpctl/provider-session for
  sticky reconnects, then opens the SSE control channel and starts a
  30-s heartbeat ticker.
- SSE listener parses event/data lines from text/event-stream frames.
  task frames trigger handleInferTask: convert OpenAI body to
  CompletionOptions, call provider.complete(), POST the result back as
  either { status, body } (non-streaming) or two chunk POSTs
  (streaming: one delta + a [DONE] marker).
- Disconnect → exponential backoff reconnect from 5 s up to 60 s. On
  successful reconnect the persisted sessionId revives the same Llm
  rows in mcpd (mcpd flips them back to active on heartbeat).
- stop() destroys the SSE socket and clears the timer; cleanly handed
  off from main.ts's existing shutdown handler.

Wired into mcplocal main.ts via maybeStartVirtualLlmRegistrar:
- Filters opted-in providers, looks up their LlmProvider instances in
  the registry.
- Reads ~/.mcpctl/credentials for mcpdUrl + bearer; absence is a
  best-effort skip (logs a warning, returns null) — never a boot
  blocker.

v1 caveat documented in the file header: LlmProvider returns a
finalized CompletionResult, not a token stream, so streaming requests
get a single delta chunk + [DONE]. Real per-token streaming is a v2
concern.

Tests: 5 new in tests/registrar.test.ts using a tiny in-process HTTP
server. Cover: no-op when nothing opted-in, register POST + sticky
sessionId persistence, sticky reconnect from disk, heartbeat ticker
fires at the configured interval, register HTTP error surfaces.

Workspace suite: 2043/2043 across 152 files (was 2006/149, +5
new tests + the new file gets discovered).

4cbf58d212 feat(mcpd+deploy): serve web UI at /ui + smoke tests + docs (Stage 6)
Some checks failed
CI/CD / lint (pull_request) Successful in 54s
CI/CD / test (pull_request) Failing after 1m8s
CI/CD / typecheck (pull_request) Successful in 2m35s
CI/CD / smoke (pull_request) Has been skipped
CI/CD / build (pull_request) Has been skipped
CI/CD / publish (pull_request) Has been skipped
The closing stage. mcpd now hosts the Stage 5 SPA, the Docker image
bundles the build artifact, a smoke test exercises the personality
HTTP surface end-to-end, and the user-facing docs spell out the
mental model.

mcpd:
- Add @fastify/static dep.
- New routes/web-ui.ts: registers /ui/* against a static bundle. Looks
  for the bundle at $MCPD_WEB_ROOT, then /usr/share/mcpd/web (the
  Docker image path), then a dev-tree fallback. Logs and skips
  cleanly if missing — API-only deploys keep working.
- SPA fallback: any /ui/<path> that doesn't match a file falls through
  to index.html so direct hits to react-router URLs work.
- /ui/* falls through to `kind: skip` in mapUrlToPermission, so the
  static assets are served unauthenticated. Each API call from the
  SPA still carries the bearer token.

Deploy:
- Dockerfile.mcpd builds the @mcpctl/web bundle in the same builder
  stage and copies dist/ to /usr/share/mcpd/web in the runtime image.

Smoke (personality.smoke.test.ts):
- Live mcpd flow: create secret/llm/agent/personality, attach an
  agent-direct prompt, verify the binding listing, reject double-
  attach (409) + foreign-agent prompt (400), set defaultPersonality
  by name, detach + delete cleanup.

Docs:
- New docs/personalities.md: VLAN-on-ethernet model, system-block
  ordering table, three prompt scopes, CLI walkthrough, web UI
  walkthrough, full API surface, RBAC notes.
- agents.md and chat.md cross-link.
- README's Agents section gains a Personalities subsection.

Test count after Stage 6:
  mcpd:   801/801      cli:  430/430
  web:    7/7          db:   58/62 (4 pre-existing)

2e266e318a fix(mcplocal): lower default token introspection TTL in serve.ts too
Followup to e51b924. The middleware default in token-auth.ts is 5s, but
serve.ts wraps the construction with its own env-fallback default of
30000ms — so when MCPLOCAL_TOKEN_POSITIVE_TTL_MS isn't set in the
environment, serve.ts always wins and revoked tokens still propagate
slowly. Lowered serve.ts to 5s for symmetry; operators wanting a longer
window can set the env var explicitly.

Caught by mcptoken.smoke continuing to fail after the previous redeploy:
verified the token-auth.js shipped with `?? 5_000`, but the wrapper was
overriding it.
