A private out-of-repo maintainer tool turns adopted human review feedback
into candidate skill updates. Only the resulting SKILL.md diff enters this
repository through normal PR review; the tool source, adapter binaries,
provider credentials, and scheduler stay on the maintainer's machine to
keep this repository focused on shipped product code. Kept in proposed/
until end-to-end verification against master lands a candidate PR; the
acceptance criteria list the exact observations that unlock promotion.
Research across 8 multi-server agent clients (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini
CLI, VS Code, Cline, Roo Code, Goose, OpenCode) showed all of them keep
the server namespace in model-facing MCP tool names; the RFC's premise
for raw names ("servers already prefix their tools") is false for the
official GitHub/filesystem/Sentry servers.
- Config: drop toolPrefix; require serverName ([A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,32}),
duplicate serverName fails the later instance at load (per-root
reservation, released on dispose)
- Names: always mcp__<serverName>__<rawName>; normalize to the DeepSeek
64-char [A-Za-z0-9_-] contract with a deterministic 12-hex identity
hash on lossy normalization; raw name is the only thing sent on the
wire (tools/call)
- Sync: two-phase fetch/swap — fetch failure keeps the previous
generation; a swap conflict rolls back the whole generation (never a
partial set); duplicate raw names reject the tool list
- RFC: moved to implemented/ (status + skeleton rewritten per the
format contract), naming design + tier-level test coverage recorded
- Tests: naming algorithm unit suite; keyless Streamable HTTP e2e
against an in-process StreamableHTTPServerTransport (namespace
discovery, execution, per-request auth headers); dotted-name
normalization e2e via a new fixture tool
Every packages/*/* README now carries a canonical '## Known Limitations and
Deferred Work' section: condensed, evidence-backed bullets for consumer-visible
gaps (unimplemented features, platform caveats, MVP cuts) and consciously
postponed work (TODO/FIXME/XXX markers, RFC deferrals still open). The ten
pre-existing ad-hoc variants ('What is NOT here (TODO)', 'Deferred',
'Limitations (MVP)', 'Known limitations (tracked TODOs)', ...) are normalized
into the canonical heading.
A new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-readme-limitations.ts, enforces the shape:
exactly one limitations-like heading per package README, byte-equal to the
canonical h2, with at least one bullet; near-miss headings fail so variants
cannot creep back. Packages with genuinely nothing to declare (dsh-brand,
dsh-timeout, dsh-subagent-mock, dsh-app-boot) are whitelisted in the script and
must NOT carry the section; whitelist entries are validated against the scanned
package set so a rename fails loud.
Wired into the doc-sync chain (package.json) and the run-gates doc-sync leaf
set; the standing rule lands in packages/AGENTS.md and the adding-a-package
cookbook; decision record in
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-10-readme-known-limitations-gate.md
(RFC index regenerated).
Also fixes two stale '(deferred)' markers claiming dsh-compact-basic is
unimplemented (the dsh-compact seam README's package table and the seam's
module doc comment).
The three-entry cordis.yml (dsh-sandbox-local + dsh-bash-sandbox at a
read-only default + dsh-approval) served over ACP: the first live approval
composition. Recorded snapshot scenarios pin the wire end to end —
config-options advertisement, the mode-switching arc as the suite pinned
header (both switches, the prompt-section delta, one changed-by-the-user
notice per knob, a confined write landing under the switched mode), and
both escalation branches over scripted permissionAnswers (a grant runs
confined under workspace-write; a rejection executes nothing and pins the
fail-closed text). The with-key escalation e2e drives a real model +
real runner + the real bridge answerer, world-verified; ci.yml snapshot
lane and e2e.yml install bubblewrap so the confined replays actually
execute.
Both RFCs move to implemented/ (Decision/Consequences form, deferred
phases tracked in their own sections), with every cross-reference flipped.
