Hongming Wang e9a59cda3b feat(platform): single-source-of-truth tool registry — adapters consume, no drift
Establishes workspace/platform_tools/registry.py as THE place tool
naming and docs live. Every consumer reads from it; nothing duplicates
the source. Closes the architectural gap behind the doc/tool drift
discussion 2026-04-28 — adding hundreds of future runtime SDK adapters
should not require touching tool names anywhere except the registry.

What the registry owns

  ToolSpec dataclass with: name, short (one-line description), when_to_use
  (multi-paragraph agent-facing usage guidance), input_schema (JSON Schema),
  impl (the actual coroutine in a2a_tools.py), section ('a2a' | 'memory').

  TOOLS list with 8 entries — delegate_task, delegate_task_async,
  check_task_status, list_peers, get_workspace_info, send_message_to_user,
  commit_memory, recall_memory.

What now reads from the registry

  - workspace/a2a_mcp_server.py
      The hardcoded TOOLS list (167 lines of hand-maintained dicts) is
      gone. Replaced with a 6-line list comprehension over the registry.
      MCP description = spec.short. inputSchema = spec.input_schema.

  - workspace/executor_helpers.py
      get_a2a_instructions(mcp=True) and get_hma_instructions() now
      GENERATE the agent-facing system-prompt text from the registry.
      Heading + per-tool bullet (spec.short) + per-tool when_to_use +
      a section-specific footer. No more hand-maintained instruction
      blocks that drift from reality.

  - workspace/builtin_tools/delegation.py
      Renamed delegate_to_workspace -> delegate_task_async to match
      registry. check_delegation_status -> check_task_status. Added
      sync delegate_task @tool wrapping a2a_tools.tool_delegate_task
      (was missing for LangChain runtimes — CP review Issue 3).

  - workspace/builtin_tools/memory.py
      Renamed search_memory -> recall_memory to match registry.

  - workspace/adapter_base.py, workspace/main.py
      Bundle all 7 core tools (was 6) into all_tools / base_tools.

  - workspace/coordinator.py, shared_runtime.py, policies/routing.py
      Updated system-prompt-text references to use the registry names.

Structural alignment tests

  workspace/tests/test_platform_tools.py — 9 tests pin every
  registry-to-adapter mapping:
    - registry names are unique
    - a2a + memory partition is complete (no orphans)
    - by_name lookup works
    - MCP server registers exactly the registry's tool set
    - MCP description equals registry.short for every tool
    - MCP inputSchema equals registry.input_schema for every tool
    - get_a2a_instructions text contains every a2a tool name
    - get_hma_instructions text contains every memory tool name
    - pre-rename names (delegate_to_workspace, search_memory,
      check_delegation_status) cannot leak back

  Adding a future tool means adding one ToolSpec; the test failure
  list tells the author exactly which adapter to update.

Adapter pattern for future SDK support

  When (e.g.) AutoGen or Pydantic AI gets adapters, the only work
  needed for tool surfacing is "wrap registry.TOOLS in your SDK's
  tool format." Names, descriptions, schemas, impl come from the
  registry — adapter author writes zero strings.

Why this needed to ship now

  PR #2237 (already in staging) injected MCP-world docs as the
  default system-prompt content. Without the registry, those docs
  said "delegate_task" while LangChain runtimes only had
  "delegate_to_workspace" — workers see docs for tools that don't
  exist (CP review Issue 1+3). PR #2239 was a tactical rename;
  this PR is the structural fix that prevents the same class of
  drift from recurring as new adapters ship.

  PR #2239 was closed in favor of this — same renames, plus the
  registry, plus structural tests. Single coherent change.

Tests: 1232 pass, 2 xfailed (pre-existing). 9 new in
test_platform_tools.py; 4 alignment tests in test_prompt.py from
#2237 still pass; original test_executor_helpers tests adapted to
the registry-driven world.

Refs: CP review Issues 1, 2, 3, 5; project memory
project_runtime_native_pluggable.md (platform owns A2A);
project memory feedback_doc_tool_alignment.md (this is the structural
fix for the tactical lesson).
