ed54aa1464 fix(smoke): reconcile assertions with ungated-global + ambient clock
Some checks failed
CI/CD / lint (pull_request) Successful in 1m19s
CI/CD / test (pull_request) Successful in 1m27s

Three smoke tests predated PR #137 (ungated-global pre-gate servers) and
the ambient-context clock, and were never exercised against a prod that
had calcmcp seeded — the 5415060 fix was cut over via kubectl, bypassing
the suite. They failed on today's a783869 deploy:

- proxy-pipeline: a fresh gated session legitimately sees begin_session
  plus the ungated-global project's tools. Now discovers the gate-exempt
  server set and asserts nothing ELSE leaks pre-gate.
- tool-drilldown: get_current_time is a router-dispatched virtual tool
  (ambient clock) that never paginates; added to the exempt set.
- backup: command is optional for dockerImage STDIO servers (entrypoint
  images — calcmcp, dav-michal, jmap-michal run with none). The real
  contract is fidelity: every live server WITH a command must keep it
  through backup. Asserted that instead.
- audit: 'Gated (only begin_session)' label said something the >=1 check
  never verified; renamed.

Full suite against live a783869: 32 files, 181/181 green.

24f202cb79 Merge origin/main into feat/agentic-teams
Conflict in src/mcpd/src/main.ts: both sides touched the import block.
Kept this branch's mapUrlToPermission plus main's bootstrapUngatedGlobal;
dropped main's SET_OWN_PASSWORD_OPERATION import — this branch moved that
usage into middleware/url-permission.ts, which imports it itself.

New seed-once system project `ungated-global`: every server attached to it
is merged into every project's MCP endpoint in front of the gate (listed
and callable before begin_session), and its project prompt is prepended to
every project's instructions.

- mcpd: bootstrapUngatedGlobal seeds the project once-ever (marker key
  `ungatedGlobalSeeded` in mcpctl-system-settings), with default server
  `calcmcp` (patched CalcMCP fork, mysources.co.uk/michal/calcmcp:1.1.0)
  and a "never do math yourself, always use calcmcp" prompt. Deletions are
  durable: `mcpctl delete server calcmcp -p ungated-global` stays deleted.
- mcpd: GET /projects/:id/servers appends global servers flagged
  `ungatedGlobal: true` (direct attachment wins, no self-merge);
  GET /projects/:id/instructions prepends the global prompt and lists the
  global servers.
- mcplocal: discovery surfaces the flagged names; the gate plugin exempts
  them — gated tools/list returns begin_session + exempt tools, calls to
  them pass through without ungating, and initialize instructions list
  them under "Available immediately (no begin_session required)".
- templates/calcmcp.yaml so a deleted default can be re-created by hand.
- docs/ungated-global.md.

Models consuming projects have no idea what day it is. Three always-on
layers from mcplocal plus one from mcpd:

- initialize instructions and the begin_session briefing carry
  '[context] now: <date/time> — project: <name>' (frozen at session
  start by design);
- a get_current_time virtual tool (ungated catalogs only, same pattern
  as read_prompts);
- every tools/call result gets a trailing '[context] now: …' content
  item at the endpoint send site — the only chokepoint that also covers
  virtual tools, gate intercepts and failure results, and the layer
  that keeps a days-old chat session current;
- mcpd agent/project chat system blocks append the same line each turn.

Time renders as UTC plus an optional local timezone from
MCPLOCAL_AMBIENT_TZ (IANA name; both services read it; invalid or unset
means UTC only). ~15 tokens per stamp, minute precision.

6fbd9c19fc fix(mcplocal): rebind upstream auth token on every project refresh

A cached project router outlives the caller's bearer token. syncUpstreams
only created a McpdUpstream (which binds the token at construction) for
server names not already registered, so after a token rotation every
pre-rotation upstream kept posting the old bearer: six attached, healthy
servers 401'd on tools/list forever — no error anywhere the client could
see — while the two servers attached after the rotation worked.

- discovery.ts: rebuild every upstream on every sync, so it always carries
  the current caller token and the current server id (also fixes a stale
  serverId after delete+recreate under the same name).
- router.ts: record per-server discovery failures with their messages and
  expose them (getToolDiscoveryFailures).
- gate.ts: a partial catalog is now loud — initialize instructions and the
  begin_session response name every attached server that contributed no
  tools and the error that silenced it.
- tests: regression tests for token rebinding and serverId refresh.

70bc7f1598 Merge origin/main into feat/agentic-teams
124 commits of main against 33 of agentic-teams. 22 files overlapped, 7
conflicted. Three needed real reconciliation rather than a side-pick:

**The `volumes` collision.** Both branches independently added a `volumes`
field to ContainerSpec meaning different things: main's is persistent storage
keyed by a server-derived `claimName` that deliberately outlives an instance;
mine is emptyDir scratch shared between an init container and the main
container. Worse, each emitted the pod-level `volumes` list from its own
helper, so spreading both would have silently kept only the last — a server
with a PVC would have lost it the moment a session scratch volume appeared.

Resolved by renaming the unreleased side: mine is now `scratchVolumes`, main's
keeps `volumes` since it is already shipped and in use. `buildPodVolumes` now
owns the whole pod-level list and emits both kinds; `buildPodExtras` is init
containers only. fsGroup/securityContext stays tied to the PVC case, because
an emptyDir is created writable by the container's own user and chowning it
is work with no purpose. Five tests pin the coexistence so a later change
cannot drop one kind again.

**The extracted permission mapper.** I moved `mapUrlToPermission` out of
main.ts into middleware/url-permission.ts so it could be tested; main kept it
inline and kept editing it. Kept the extraction and ported main's one change
across — the `/api/v1/audit/events/purge` mapping onto the existing
`audit-purge` operation. Verified rule-by-rule that the extracted version is a
superset: all 15 of main's rules plus the 5 agentic-teams ones.

**The NUL byte in create.ts.** Both branches fixed the same defect
independently, mine as `''` and main's as `'\0'`. Took main's.

The rest were one-liners: .gitignore comment wording, and an add/add on
proxy-long-running.test.ts where main's copy carries a progressive-delivery
test mine lacked — took main's in full.

Not changed, but worth flagging: main's generateDeploymentSpec hardcodes
`automountServiceAccountToken: false` while generatePodSpec honours
`spec.automountServiceAccountToken`. That asymmetry is main's own and predates
this merge, so it is left exactly as-is rather than altered inside a merge
commit.

Verified: 3138 tests pass (237 files), build clean, prisma schema valid.
Lint 809/80 vs 794/77 pre-merge — the delta is main's own debt; every file
touched during conflict resolution was checked and introduces no new errors.

22d8e13390 fix(smoke): match the _resultId format the pipeline actually emits

The drill-down checks matched /_resultId:\s*(\S+)/ — the legacy paginator's
JSON spelling. The content pipeline writes _resultId="pm-abc", so the regex
found nothing: "Has _resultId for drill-down" reported a false failure on
every run, and the drill-down tests that used the same regex to extract an id
skipped themselves as "not large enough for section-split". Both were
invisible in a green suite.

One shared extractResultId() in the smoke harness now accepts either
spelling and returns the bare id, so the ad-hoc character strip on the
captured group goes away too. proxy-pipeline's check block reports 21/21
instead of 20 with a phantom failure.

0e12637271 fix(mcplocal): stop upstream required params from blocking a drill-down

A paginated tool result tells the model to call the same tool again with
only _resultId/_section. The advertised schema still carried the upstream's
own `required` list, so a client that validates arguments rejected exactly
that call — "Received tool input did not match expected schema" — and the
model concluded pagination was broken and gave up
(websearch/fetch_content requires `url`; verified live on llm-model-tester).

`required` is ANDed with everything else in a schema, so no property
declaration could rescue it. It now becomes an alternation: either the
upstream's requirements (a fresh call) or `_resultId` (a re-read, which is
answered from cache and never reaches the upstream). Validators that
understand anyOf enforce that; naive ones that only read top-level
`required` now find none and accept both. Schemas that already carry a
combinator get the alternation appended to `allOf`, and a schema with no
required params is left untouched.

Covered by unit tests on a required-bearing upstream schema plus a smoke
assertion that no advertised tool keeps a drill-down-blocking `required`.

Auto-following to the newest Opus moved the failure rather than removing it.
The deploy's own smoke output showed it: 404 "model not found" became

  HTTP 400: `temperature` is deprecated for this model.

Anthropic removed temperature/top_p/top_k on the current generation (Opus 5,
Sonnet 5, Opus 4.7/4.8, Fable 5), and the adapter sends temperature: 0
unconditionally. So the gate's prompt-selection was still degrading on every
call -- just with a different status code.

A list of which models accept sampling would rot exactly the way the pinned
model ids did, which is the whole thing this branch is trying to stop. So the
provider learns it instead: the first 400 naming a sampling parameter drops it
and retries, and remembers the model so every later call omits it up front.
One wasted call, once, rather than a hardcoded table to maintain.

The match is deliberately narrow -- a 400 must actually name temperature/top_p/
top_k. An unrelated 400 (missing max_tokens, bad schema) propagates untouched;
there is a test for that, because a broad match here would silently swallow
real request errors and retry them pointlessly.

Verified live: claude-opus-latest -> claude-opus-5, first attempt 400 on
temperature, retry succeeds past it. The retry then hit HTTP 429 -- the
personal OAuth token's rate limit, which is the pre-existing credential-tiering
issue, not this path.

Completes the plan's last item. The deadline shipped with a global default;
this makes it overridable per server, where the knowledge actually lives -- a
server with genuinely slow tools declares its own budget instead of forcing the
global up for everyone.

Source of truth is the server resource, following healthCheck exactly:
Prisma column + migration (NULL keeps today's behaviour, so no existing server
changes), zod validation on create and update, the repository, an
`--tool-call-timeout` flag mirroring `--health-check-timeout`, and the apply
schema so `apply -f` accepts what `get server -o yaml` emits.

That round-trip needed care: get emits `toolCallTimeoutSeconds: null` for every
server without an override, so the apply schema is nullable, not merely
optional -- otherwise the very first `get -o yaml | apply -f` on an untouched
server would have failed validation.

Bounded at one hour. A deadline exists so a wedged call answers instead of
hanging; a value beyond an hour is indistinguishable from having none.

It reaches mcplocal through server discovery rather than the project-scoped
serverOverrides map, and is applied on EVERY sync rather than only at first
registration -- raising a server's timeout should take effect at the next
refresh, not require the upstream to be dropped and rebuilt.

The endpoint sees the wire name (`docmost_search`), so it decodes to the
canonical `server/tool` before resolving. The override is keyed by server, so
every tool on that server inherits it without being enumerated, and the
failure message quotes the deadline actually applied rather than the global.

Smoke tests (tests/smoke/bounded-failures.smoke.test.ts) cover the two
production faults against the live proxy: a stale session recovers instead of
stranding the client on an uncorrelatable 404, every request is answered, and
`mcpctl trace` responds for an unknown code.

08b451b7aa feat(mcplocal): Anthropic models auto-follow the newest in their family
`claude-opus-4-20250514` was pinned as the heavy provider and had been
returning 404 on every gate ranking and every pagination title. The only
visible symptom was a fallback that looked like an ordinary one -- it surfaced
here because the degradation notice added earlier in this branch finally
printed the reason.

Checked against GET /v1/models: BOTH pins were dead. The fast tier's
claude-haiku-3-5-20241022 is gone too, so that tier had been silently 404ing
as well.

The provider's listModels() asserted "Anthropic doesn't have a models listing
endpoint" and returned four hardcoded dated ids. That endpoint does exist and
answers fine with the OAuth token this deployment uses; the hardcoded list was
simply stale, and a test pinned it in place.

So: `claude-<family>-latest` (or a bare `opus` / `sonnet` / `haiku` / `fable`)
now resolves against the live list. Exact ids pass through untouched, so
pinning still works when someone wants it.

Newest is decided by `created_at`, never by parsing the version out of the id.
That is not incidental: `claude-opus-4-5` sorts ABOVE `claude-opus-5` as a
string, and "4-5" parses as a larger minor than "5". There is a test for
exactly that trap.

Resolution is cached (12h, MCPCTL_ANTHROPIC_MODEL_TTL_MS) so it is not a
per-call network hop, and shared across instances since the model list is
account-wide. When the endpoint is unreachable it falls back to a pinned
known-good id per family and says so on stderr -- the map going stale can then
only cost availability, never correctness.

The constructor default was `claude-sonnet-4-20250514`, also retired; it now
tracks the family too.

Local config: heavy -> claude-opus-latest, fast -> claude-haiku-latest.
Verified live: opus-latest -> claude-opus-5, haiku-latest ->
claude-haiku-4-5-20251001, sonnet-latest -> claude-sonnet-5, and an exact id
passes through.

Also found while there: both anthropic entries were named "anthropic", and the
registry keys by name, so the second silently OVERWROTE the first and one
tier's model was discarded entirely. Renamed to anthropic-fast /
anthropic-heavy so NamedProvider keeps them distinct and the tier split is
real.

b6e270ee48 feat(mcplocal): every request answers, even when the pipeline wedges
The LLM budgets bound the failure we actually hit. This is the backstop for the
ones they cannot see: a wedged plugin hook, a virtual-tool handler, an upstream
path without its own timeout.

transport.onmessage IS the whole request pipeline, and it writes to a socket
that has already been hijacked from Fastify. The SDK does not await it, so a
throw became an unhandled rejection and a hang became silence -- in both cases
the client got no response at all and waited out its own timeout. onmessage is
now structured so that reaching transport.send() is unconditional: the route
call is raced against a deadline, and the notification flush and the send each
carry their own catch, so a failure while flushing can no longer cost the client
its response.

transport.onerror was never assigned, so SDK-level transport errors were
swallowed entirely. It is now.

Shape of the answer is deliberate. A tools/call comes back as a SUCCESSFUL
result with isError and readable text naming the trace code -- the same shape
router.ts already uses for an expired _resultId, because a transport error tends
to surface as a hard failure while a tool error is something the model reads and
acts on. It also says the upstream may still be running, which is true and
matters. Other methods get a JSON-RPC error (-32001).

MCPLOCAL_TOOLCALL_DEADLINE_MS defaults to TOOLCALL_TIMEOUT_MS + 30s rather than
120s. The watchdog arms earlier in the request than mcpd's fetch does, so at
equal values it would always fire first, masking mcpd's specific
UpstreamTimeoutError with a generic message and cutting off pagination and the
rest of the post-processing. There is a test asserting the two stay ordered.

The pause queue is exempt, but not bypassed. It blocks until a human operator
releases, edits or drops a response, so the deadline SUSPENDS -- clock stopped,
then re-armed with whatever was left. A test asserts the re-arm, because an
exemption that forgot to re-arm would silently make every paused request
immortal.

End-to-end: an upstream that never settles now yields a response in under a
second carrying ⚠, the deadline, and `mcpctl trace <code>`.

0eca4148e3 fix(mcplocal): recreate a stale session instead of 404ing outside the envelope
Second of the two faults that both presented as a 1800s hang.

mcplocal keeps MCP sessions in memory only, so any restart -- a deploy, an RPM
install, scripts/release.sh -- invalidates every connected client's session id.
The response was a bare 404 {"error":"Session not found"}: 3.5ms server-side,
but it lands OUTSIDE the JSON-RPC envelope with no id, so the client cannot
correlate it to its request and simply waits out its own timeout. Every mcpctl
tool call in that session became a 30-minute stall while the server was
perfectly healthy and answering other traffic in milliseconds.

Now the session is recreated, keeping the id the client already holds -- a
re-handshake would change it and invalidate everything the client has cached.
The SDK assigns sessionId/_initialized only while handling an `initialize`
(webStandardStreamableHttp.js:419-420), so adoptSession() replays exactly those
two assignments. It reaches into SDK internals, so it fails LOUDLY: the guard
throws with a pointer to itself, and session-adopt.test.ts is the canary that
goes red at `pnpm test` rather than in production on the next SDK bump.

Recreation is not silent. Doing it quietly would hand an agent an ungated tool
list with no signal that its gate state had vanished, so the first tools/call
result carries the established "⚠ Session state unavailable (...)" notice
telling it to call begin_session again.

onsessioninitialized does NOT fire on the adopt path, so its body is factored
into registerSession() and called explicitly. That is the subtle part: skipping
it would have produced recreated sessions with null userName on every audit
event, silently.

Also fixed, and it is the CAUSE rather than the symptom: MCP clients close a
session with DELETE + Content-Type: application/json and an empty body, which
Fastify's default parser rejected with FST_ERR_CTP_EMPTY_JSON_BODY before the
route handler ran. sessions.delete() therefore never happened and every
"closed" session leaked -- manufacturing the stale-session condition this
commit handles. Fixing recreation without fixing teardown would have shipped
the workaround and kept the cause.

project-mcp-endpoint.test.ts's "returns 404 for unknown session ID" inverts to
"recreates an unknown session instead of 404ing it", and asserts the id comes
back unchanged.

c06c34f0a2 feat(mcplocal): a trace code that actually reaches the audit trail
The plumbing for request tracing was all present and almost entirely inert.
correlationId was generated at the endpoint and threaded into traffic events,
but:

  - emitTrace() dropped it, so every durable tool_call_trace row had
    correlationId = null and could not be joined to anything;
  - ExecuteOptions.correlationId existed but its only production caller never
    passed it, making every stage_execution and pipeline_execution row
    unjoinable too -- dead code that looked like a feature;
  - plugin events (all three gate emits) had no access to it at all;
  - and the value itself was `<session-uuid>:<jsonrpc-id>`, which nobody can
    retype from a screenshot.

Also fixed: onToolCallBefore intercepts returned without emitTrace, so every
tool call made while a session was gated produced no trace whatsoever.

The trace code now IS the correlationId. Nothing parses the old format --
checked across mcpd's audit repository and route, mcplocal's router and traffic
capture, and the CLI console -- sessionId is its own audit column and the
JSON-RPC id is in the traffic body, so nothing is lost. AuditEvent.correlationId
is already an indexed Postgres column, so lookup works with no migration.
8 chars of Crockford base32 without I/L/O/U: readable aloud, typeable from a
screenshot, 40 bits (a collision shows two traces, it corrupts nothing).

Getting it to the plugins and the executor needed AsyncLocalStorage, not a
parameter. Both are constructed per SESSION, not per request -- processContent
is a closure with no RouteContext -- so threading an argument would have touched
PluginSessionContext, every plugin, ExecuteOptions and StageContext. ALS also
stays correct with two requests in flight on one session, which a mutable field
on the session-scoped context would not; there is a test for exactly that.

PluginContextImpl.emitAuditEvent auto-fills it the way it already auto-fills
sessionId, so this covers every gate event and every plugin written later
without a per-callsite edit.

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.

`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.

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.

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.

00373d2b27 feat(epics): reconcile claimed completeness against delivered work
An Epic could report 0% while every Task under it was merged. That is not a
cosmetic gap — it is exactly the blind spot the Epic exists to remove
(docs/agentic-teams.md §1b: "we completed all the tasks and got a stick with
wheels instead of a car"). An Epic that cannot see its own delivered work
cannot detect that, because `completeness()` reads only `doneCriteria[].met`
and nothing flips those except a human hitting the criteria endpoint.

So read the same question a second time, from the delivery side, and report
where the two readings disagree — in both directions:

  - deliveredButUnclaimed — unmet criteria whose owning roadmap node has
    merged work. Somebody delivered and nobody ticked the box.
  - claimedButUndelivered — criteria marked met with nothing merged
    underneath. The box is ticked and nothing shipped. The dangerous
    direction, and the one that is easy to forget to look for.
  - unowned — criteria no roadmap node claims at all. They cannot appear in
    either list above, so without a bucket of their own they would vanish
    inside a clean-looking reconciliation.

Nothing is written. `met` stays exactly as a human or agent set it: deriving
it from task state would assert that finishing the tasks means delivering the
vision, which is the assumption under audit. The mismatch is reported, not
silently resolved.

Attribution is by criterion id, because that is the only link the schema
offers — EpicTask.doneCriteria is documented as "the decomposed subset of the
Epic's doneCriteria this node owns" and carries the same ids, but nothing
enforces it. Rather than guess an owner by name similarity or ordering, the
convention is treated as a claim and its failures are surfaced as `unowned`.
A foreign key from criterion to epictask would end the ambiguity; this reports
the ambiguity instead of hiding it.

Judgement calls, made explicit so they can be argued with:
  - `merged` alone counts as delivered. `done` only leaves the developer's
    loop and `awaiting_review` still needs a human; `reopened` means a merge
    did not hold, so it counts as outstanding.
  - `cancelled` is neither delivered nor outstanding. Counting it as owed
    would leave a node permanently undelivered because someone abandoned a
    task; counting it as delivered is a lie. It is reported on its own.
  - a node with no tasks is undelivered, not exempt — a met criterion over an
    undecomposed node is still a claim with nothing behind it. The empty task
    rollup is what distinguishes it from "built but not merged".
  - an epictask's own `status` is another claim, not evidence, so it is
    carried for context and never counted as delivery.

Surfaced on GET /api/v1/epics/:id next to the completeness it contradicts —
a mismatch is only useful where the misleading percentage is already on
screen — and standalone at GET /api/v1/epics/:id/reconciliation for callers
that do not want a 200KB Epic body with it. Deliberately kept off the list
route, which would pay a query per roadmap node per Epic.

b2547429ca fix(health): a passing tools/list is live, not healthy
Some checks failed
CI/CD / lint (pull_request) Successful in 1m16s
CI/CD / test (pull_request) Successful in 1m29s
CI/CD / typecheck (pull_request) Successful in 3m15s
CI/CD / smoke (pull_request) Failing after 2m0s
CI/CD / build (pull_request) Successful in 5m5s
CI/CD / publish (pull_request) Has been skipped
`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.

53507e876a feat(cli): apply -f support for agentic-teams resources, plus vertical smoke tests
Closes two stated project rules this work had been violating.

**`get -o yaml` must round-trip through `apply -f`.** The five new resources
were creatable and listable but absent from apply, so what `get` emitted was not
valid apply input. They are now applied in dependency order — gitproviders →
repos → epics → epictasks → tasks — since each references the previous by name,
and each block is independently fault-tolerant so one bad entry does not abort
the rest of a manifest. `edit` accepts them too.

`state` is deliberately NOT in the task spec. Lifecycle moves go through
`mcpctl tasks advance`, which enforces the transition table and the risk gate; a
manifest that could set state would route straight around both. epictask
`dependsOn` edges are re-applied on every run, which is safe because the server
treats a duplicate edge as a no-op.

**Every feature ships smoke tests.** Adds the vertical: create an epic with
mixed outcome/quality criteria, round-trip it through get -o yaml → apply -f,
chain an epictask, then drive a task through the lifecycle asserting the risk
gate blocks `done` without a passing QA verdict, that an illegal transition is
refused, that history carries every transition and the verdict, and that reject
without a comment fails. Skips when mcpd is unreachable; a failure against a
reachable daemon means it predates the feature.

The round-trip assertion is the interesting one: it feeds `get`'s own output
straight back into `apply` and fails if the two surfaces have drifted, rather
than trusting that they agree.

Local: build clean, workspace 2457 passed, db 128 passed (same 4 pre-existing
Secret failures), lint back to the repo's baseline 794 errors after replacing
destructured discards with an explicit omit() helper.

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.

da4752b90f 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.

a186d95a85 feat(rbac): split the tasks namespace into tasks + inference-tasks
v5 gave the durable inference queue the RBAC resource `tasks`, on the
reasoning that inference was the only kind of task we had. Agentic teams
introduces work-item tasks (Epic -> epictask -> task), which need that name.

The queue moves to its own `inference-tasks` resource, matching its existing
/api/v1/inference-tasks route prefix, and `task`/`tasks` now mean work items.
Also lands the agentic-teams aliases: epic, epictask/et, repo/repository, session.

The rename is not purely a code change. ResourceBindingSchema runs
normalizeResource at parse time and stores the normalized string, so every
RbacDefinition row written before the split literally contains "tasks" meaning
inference. Shipping the alias change alone would silently stop those grants
authorizing the queue and start them authorizing work items -- a privilege
change in both directions. bootstrap/rbac-tasks-backfill.ts rewrites them once
at startup, alongside migrateAdminRole.

The run-once marker is claimed BEFORE the rewrite, not after. A failed marker
write after a successful rewrite would let the next startup rewrite again,
converting genuine post-split work-item grants into inference grants. Losing
the rewrite is recoverable by re-granting; running it twice silently is not --
so if the marker cannot be persisted we skip the rewrite and warn loudly.

mapUrlToPermission moves in lockstep: /api/v1/inference-tasks maps to
`inference-tasks`, otherwise the split would break queue authorization on the
first request.

Adds generic getBooleanSetting/setSetting helpers to bootstrap/system-settings.ts,
following the existing "global settings live in a Secret" pattern. setSetting
refuses to write when the settings secret has been migrated onto a non-plaintext
backend, where a direct `data` write would read back empty.

Out of scope, tracked separately: the CLI still routes `mcpctl get tasks` to the
inference queue (src/cli/src/commands/shared.ts). Repointing it needs the
work-item resource to exist first, or the command breaks with no replacement.

Tests: 14 unit tests cover alias resolution, the rewrite, wildcard and
operation bindings being left alone, idempotency, and both marker-failure paths.
Full workspace suite green (2291 tests). The new smoke test is RED until mcpd
is deployed with this change -- it asserts post-split storage against a live
daemon, and the currently deployed one predates the split.

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).

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.

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.

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.

0e952dbf68 merge: integrate v7-rbac-visibility on top of skills feature
Brings together the two unmerged feature lines onto one integration branch:
- skills/review/proposals/revisions (via fix/mcpd-instance-health-and-retry,
  which contains the full skills-1..7 chain + mcpd env/retry/readiness fix)
- v7 visibility scope + ownership for Llms and Agents

Auto-merge resolved schema.prisma, mcpd main.ts, mcplocal config, CLI create,
and completions with no conflicts. Both Prisma migrations coexist.

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.
