BREAKING: `mcpctl create rbac` no longer accepts `--binding` or
`--operation`. Use `--roleBindings` instead with key:value pairs:
# resource binding
--roleBindings role:view,resource:servers
--roleBindings role:view,resource:servers,name:my-ha
# operation binding (role:run is implied by action:)
--roleBindings action:logs
The on-disk YAML shape (`roleBindings: [{role, resource, name?}]` or
`{role:'run', action}`) is unchanged, so Git backups and existing
`apply -f` files continue to work. Only the command-line input format
changes.
The parser is extracted to src/cli/src/commands/rbac-bindings.ts so the
upcoming `mcpctl create mcptoken --bind <kv>` verb can reuse it.
Completions, tests, and the new parser unit test all pass (406/406).

Adds a new McpToken Prisma model (project-scoped, SHA-256 hashed at rest,
optional expiry, revocable) plus backing repository, service, and REST
routes. Tokens are a first-class RBAC subject: new 'McpToken' kind is
added to the subject enum and the service auto-creates an RbacDefinition
with subject McpToken:<sha> when bindings are provided.
Creator-permission ceiling: the service rejects any requested binding
the creator cannot already satisfy themselves (re-uses
rbacService.canAccess / canRunOperation). rbacMode=clone snapshots the
creator's full permissions into the token.
Routes:
POST /api/v1/mcptokens create (returns raw token once)
GET /api/v1/mcptokens list (filter by project)
GET /api/v1/mcptokens/:id describe (no secret in response)
POST /api/v1/mcptokens/:id/revoke soft-delete + remove RbacDef
DELETE /api/v1/mcptokens/:id hard-delete
GET /api/v1/mcptokens/introspect validate raw bearer (used by mcplocal)
Extends AuditEvent with optional tokenName/tokenSha fields (indexed) so
token-driven activity can be filtered later. Adds token helpers in
@mcpctl/shared: TOKEN_PREFIX='mcpctl_pat_', generateToken, hashToken,
isMcpToken, timingSafeEqualHex.
Follow-up PRs add the auth-hook dispatch on the prefix, the CLI verbs,
and the HTTP-mode mcplocal that calls /introspect.

Adds a per-server tools/list cache in McpRouter (positive + negative TTL)
so a slow or dead upstream only stalls the first discovery call, not every
subsequent client request. Invalidated on upstream add/remove.
Health probes now apply a default liveness spec (tools/list via the real
production path) to any RUNNING instance without an explicit healthCheck,
so synthetic and real failures converge on the same signal.
Includes supporting updates in mcpd-client, discovery, upstream/mcpd,
seeder, and fulldeploy/release scripts.

Commit 1bd5087 added attachInteractive to the orchestrator interface
but never hooked it up in mcp-proxy-service — sendViaPersistentAttach
was promised in the commit message but missing from the diff. Servers
with a distroless image whose entrypoint IS the MCP server (gitea-mcp)
ended up needing a bogus `command: [node, dist/index.js]` workaround
that silently failed on every exec, leaving clients with empty tool
lists.
Changes:
- PersistentStdioClient: take a StdioMode discriminated union. Exec
mode runs a command via execInteractive; attach mode talks to PID 1
via attachInteractive.
- mcp-proxy-service: dispatch by config — command → exec; packageName
→ exec via runtime runner; dockerImage-only → attach. Error
serialization no longer drops non-Error objects as "[object Object]".
- templates/gitea.yaml: remove the command workaround; the image CMD
runs as PID 1 and mcpd attaches.
- Add unit tests covering both modes and the unsupported-orchestrator
paths.
Also required (separate repo): mcpd's k8s Role needed pods/attach
added alongside pods/exec; updated in kubernetes-deployment/…/mcpctl/server.ts
and kubectl-patched on the live cluster.
Verified end-to-end against mcpctl.ad.itaz.eu:
- gitea (attach): 49 tools listed, real tools/call round-trip.
- aws-docs (exec via packageName): 4 tools, no regression.
- docmost (exec via command): 11 tools, no regression.
- mcpd suite: 634/634 passing.

Instance status now reflects actual container state:
- startOne() sets STARTING (not RUNNING) after container creation
- syncStatus() promotes STARTING→RUNNING when pod is ready
- syncStatus() demotes RUNNING→STARTING if pod restarts (CrashLoop)
- External servers still get RUNNING immediately (no container)
Previously, CrashLooping pods showed as RUNNING in mcpctl get instances.

Two bugs fixed:
1. Backup completeness: JSON backup API now includes prompts and
templates. Previously these were silently dropped during
backup/restore, causing data loss on migration.
2. STDIO proxy for docker-image servers: servers with dockerImage
but no packageName/command (like docmost) now use k8s Attach
to connect to the container's PID 1 stdin/stdout instead of
exec. This fixes "has no packageName or command" errors.
Changes:
- backup-service.ts: add BackupPrompt/BackupTemplate types, export them
- restore-service.ts: restore prompts (with project FK) and templates
- mcp-proxy-service.ts: sendViaPersistentAttach for docker-image STDIO
- orchestrator.ts: add attachInteractive to McpOrchestrator interface
- kubernetes-orchestrator.ts: implement attachInteractive via k8s Attach
- k8s-client-official.ts: expose Attach client

mcpd now runs a periodic reconcileAll() every 30s that:
- Detects crashed/missing containers (syncStatus)
- Cleans up ERROR instances
- Creates replacement pods to match desired replica count
This replaces the old syncStatus-only timer. Servers migrated
from another deployment or recovering from node failures will
automatically get their instances recreated.
6 new tests for reconcileAll covering: missing instances, skip
replicas=0, already-at-count, ERROR cleanup, multi-server,
error isolation.

- Add MCPD_NODE_SELECTOR env var support in manifest generator
for mixed-arch clusters (e.g. arm64+amd64)
- Fix backup restore: resolve system user ID instead of
hardcoded 'system' string
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The restore service hardcoded ownerId as the literal string 'system'
instead of looking up the actual system user ID. This caused FK
constraint violations when restoring projects to a fresh database.
Now resolves the system user by email, falling back to the first
available user.

mcpd can now deploy MCP server instances as Kubernetes pods instead of
Docker containers. Set MCPD_ORCHESTRATOR=kubernetes to enable.
- Add @kubernetes/client-node with thin wrapper (context enforcement
via MCPD_K8S_CONTEXT to prevent multi-cluster mishaps)
- Rewrite KubernetesOrchestrator: pod CRUD, pod IP extraction,
exec via SPDY (one-shot + interactive), log streaming
- Manifest generator: stdin:true for STDIO servers, args (not command)
to preserve runner image entrypoint, security hardening
- Orchestrator selection in main.ts via MCPD_ORCHESTRATOR env var
- 25 unit tests for k8s orchestrator, all 624 tests pass
Tested end-to-end on local k3s:
- mcpd deployed via Pulumi, creates pods in mcpctl-servers namespace
- NetworkPolicy verified: only mcpd can reach MCP server pods
- Python runner (uvx) successfully runs aws-documentation-mcp-server

The act runner (v0.3.0) on NAS can't handle matrix jobs reliably on a
single worker — concurrent matrix entries fail silently. Build both
amd64 and arm64 sequentially in a single job instead.
Merge publish-rpm and publish-deb into a single publish job that
iterates over all RPM/DEB files in dist/.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The publish-rpm step was deleting the existing package by version
before uploading, but Gitea RPM registry keys by version (not
version+arch). When building both amd64 and arm64 in a matrix,
the second job would delete the first job's upload.
Remove the delete-before-upload pattern. Gitea supports multiple
architectures under the same version. Handle 409 (already exists)
gracefully instead.

Server instances require Docker/Podman (mcpd starts them as containers).
CI has no container runtime, so instances will never reach RUNNING.
Tests requiring running instances are already excluded.
Replace the 5-minute wait loop with a quick fixture verification step
that confirms servers, projects, and prompts were applied correctly,
and reports instance status for informational purposes only.

- publish-rpm and publish-deb now depend on both build and smoke jobs,
so packages are only published after all tests pass
- Reduce "Wait for server instance" from 60x5s (5min) to 10x2s (20s)

Build scripts now check for required tools before building and install
them automatically if missing. Handles both amd64 and arm64 host systems.
- pnpm: installed via corepack or npm
- bun: installed via official install script
- nfpm: downloaded from GitHub for the correct host architecture
- node_modules: runs pnpm install if missing

Add cross-architecture build support so the project can be developed on
ARM64 (Fedora aarch64 laptop) while still producing amd64 packages for
production. All build, package, publish, and install scripts are now
architecture-aware via shared arch-helper.sh detection.
- Add scripts/arch-helper.sh for shared architecture detection
- CI builds both amd64 and arm64 in matrix strategy
- nfpm.yaml uses NFPM_ARCH env var instead of hardcoded amd64
- Build scripts support MCPCTL_TARGET_ARCH for cross-compilation
- installlocal.sh auto-detects RPM/DEB and filters by architecture
- release.sh gains --both-arches flag for dual-arch releases
- Package cleanup is arch-scoped (won't clobber other arch's packages)
- build-mcpd.sh supports --platform and --multi-arch flags
- Add pnpm scripts: rpm:build:amd64, deb:build:arm64, release:both
- Conditional rpm/dpkg-deb checks for cross-distro compatibility

Fan-out discovery methods (tools/list, prompts/list, resources/list)
used synthetic request IDs that couldn't be looked up in the
correlation map. This caused upstream_response events to have no
correlationId, making the console unable to find upstream content
for replay ("No content to replay").
Fix: pass correlationId through RouteContext → discovery methods →
onUpstreamCall callback, so the handler can use it directly.

The Gitea Act Runner containers lack privileged access needed for
container-in-container builds. Tried: Docker CLI (permission denied),
podman (cannot re-exec), buildah (no /proc/self/uid_map), kaniko
(no standalone binary). Docker builds + deploy continue to work via
bash fulldeploy.sh which runs on the host directly.
CI pipeline now: lint → typecheck → test → build → publish-rpm
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Docker, podman, and buildah all fail in the runner container due to
missing /proc/self/uid_map (no user namespace support). Kaniko is
designed specifically for building Docker images inside containers
without privileged access, Docker daemon, or user namespaces.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Podman fails with "cannot re-exec process" inside runner containers
(no user namespace support). Buildah with --isolation chroot and
--storage-driver vfs can build OCI images without a daemon, without
namespaces, and without privileged mode.

Docker CLI can't connect to the podman socket in the runner container
(permission denied even as root). Switch to podman for building images
locally and skopeo with containers-storage transport for pushing.
Podman builds don't need a daemon socket.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The default runner image (catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest) has the
podman socket mounted at /var/run/docker.sock but no Docker CLI.
Install docker.io to provide the CLI. The socket is accessible as
root, so sudo -E docker build works.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Bun's bundler can't read directory symlinks (EISDIR). Copy the stub
files directly into node_modules instead.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
shamefully-hoist still creates symlinks to .pnpm store which bun
can't follow (EISDIR errors). node-linker=hoisted creates actual
copies in a flat node_modules layout, like npm.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Bun's bundler can't follow pnpm's nested symlink layout to resolve
transitive dependencies of workspace packages (e.g. ink's yoga-layout,
react-reconciler). Adding shamefully-hoist=true creates a flat
node_modules layout that bun can resolve from, matching the behavior
of the local dev environment.

The runner container doesn't have access to the Docker socket by
default. Mount /var/run/docker.sock via container.volumes so docker
build and skopeo can access the host's podman API. Removed sudo since
the container user is root.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The local build-rpm.sh successfully uses pnpm's node_modules with bun
compile. The CI was unnecessarily replacing node_modules with bun install,
which broke transitive workspace dependency resolution. Match the working
local approach instead.
