09e99a09c6 feat(a2a-mcp): add chat_history tool for prior turns with a peer
When a peer_agent push lands and the agent needs context from prior
turns with that workspace ("what task did this peer assign me last
hour?", "what did I tell them?"), the only options today are
re-deriving from memory (lossy) or scrolling activity_logs in the
canvas (no agent-facing tool). Surface the platform's existing
audit log directly via a new MCP tool so agents can read both sides
of an A2A conversation in chronological order.

Implementation:
- a2a_tools.py: new tool_chat_history(peer_id, limit=20, before_ts="")
  hits /workspaces/<self>/activity?peer_id=X&limit=N (the new server
  filter from molecule-core#2472). Reverses the DESC response into
  chronological order so the agent reads top-down. Graceful error
  envelope on validation/network/non-200 — never crashes the MCP
  server, agent can branch on Error: prefix.
- platform_tools/registry.py: ToolSpec wired into the A2A section so
  the rendered system-prompt block automatically includes it. Same
  pattern as the existing inbox_peek/inbox_pop/wait_for_message.
- a2a_mcp_server.py: dispatch in handle_tool_call.
- executor_helpers.py: _CLI_A2A_COMMAND_KEYWORDS gets a None entry
  (CLI runtimes don't expose chat history today; flip to a keyword
  when a2a_cli grows a `history` subcommand).
- snapshots/a2a_instructions_mcp.txt regenerated.

Tests: 10 new branches in TestChatHistory (validation / param
forwarding / limit cap / before_ts pass-through / DESC→chronological
reorder / 400 verbatim / 500 generic / network exc / non-list resp).
Mutation-verified: reverting a2a_tools.py fails 10/10. Full test
suite remains green at 1516 passed.

f96bb9f860 docs(mcp): tagged server:NAME form in dev-channels reference
Claude Code 2.1.x's --dangerously-load-development-channels takes an
allowlist of tagged entries (`server:<name>` or
`plugin:<name>@<marketplace>`), not a bare switch. The instructions
field's push-only-mode message and the inline comment in
`_poll_timeout_secs` both referenced the old bare form. Update both
so an agent or operator reading them lands on the right invocation —
matched against the docs change in [molecule-docs PR #110](https://github.com/Molecule-AI/docs/pull/110).

No behavior change (string-only edits in instructions text + comment).
33/33 tests still pass.

c61a6ff9bd chore(mcp): drop unused module-level _CHANNEL_INSTRUCTIONS
The frozen copy was a self-justification — the comment claimed "tests +
tooling rely on import-time identity" but no test or tooling code path
actually references the binding. _build_initialize_result() calls
_build_channel_instructions() fresh per call so env changes take effect,
which is the documented runtime contract.

github-code-quality flagged it; resolving the unused-variable thread so
the staging branch protection's all-conversations-resolved gate clears.

ea206043d8 feat(mcp): universal inbound delivery — instructions-driven polling + optional push
Why this exists
---------------
Live evidence on 2026-05-01 caught a regression latent in #46's
"push-feel inbound" closure: standard `claude` launches without
`--dangerously-load-development-channels` silently drop our
`notifications/claude/channel` emissions, so canvas/peer messages sat
in the wheel inbox and never reached the agent loop until manual
`inbox_peek`. The flag is research-preview-only; non-Claude-Code MCP
clients (Cursor, Cline, OpenCode, hermes-agent, codex) never receive
the notification at all because the method namespace is Claude-
specific. Push-only delivery shipped as the universal contract is
not actually universal.

What this changes
-----------------
Adds a poll path that works on every spec-compliant MCP client. The
`initialize` `instructions` field — read by every client and surfaced
to the agent's system prompt automatically — now tells the agent to
call `wait_for_message(timeout_secs=N)` at the start of every turn.
Push remains as the strictly-better delivery for hosts that opt in
(Claude Code with the dev flag or a future allowlist entry), but is
no longer load-bearing.

Both paths converge on the same `inbox_pop` ack so duplicate-delivery
on a push+poll race is impossible: whoever surfaces the message to
the agent first pops it, the other side returns empty.

Operator knob
-------------
`MOLECULE_MCP_POLL_TIMEOUT_SECS` controls per-turn poll blocking
(default 2s). 0 disables polling for push-only Claude Code with the
dev flag. Above 60 clamps to 60 — protects against an accidental
five-minute stall per turn. Resolved fresh on every `initialize` so
a relaunch with new env is enough; no wheel rebuild required.

Tests
-----
- structural pins on the new instructions: `wait_for_message` +
  `timeout_secs` named, both PUSH PATH / POLL PATH labels present
- env-resolution: default fallback, garbage fallback, negative
  fallback, 60s clamp
- operator override: `MOLECULE_MCP_POLL_TIMEOUT_SECS=7` reaches the
  agent's instructions string
- timeout=0 toggles to push-only-mode messaging (no
  wait_for_message call asked of the agent)
- existing pins on push path, reply tools, prompt-injection defense,
  meta attributes — all preserved

Successor to #46. Closure milestone for this PR (per
feedback_close_on_user_visible_not_merge.md): launched `claude`
against the published wheel, sent a canvas message, observed the
agent surfaces the message inline at the start of its next turn
without me running `inbox_peek` — verified live before declaring done.

a3a496bced test(mcp): pin inbox→stdout bridge end-to-end with three failure-mode tests
Closes the dynamic-coverage gap on the `notifications/claude/channel`
push-UX bridge — until now we had static pins on the wire shape
(_build_channel_notification) and the initialize handshake, but the
threading + asyncio + stdout chain that ships notifications to the
host was never exercised under realistic conditions.

The three failure modes anticipated in #2444 §2 are each now pinned:

  test_inbox_bridge_emits_channel_notification_to_writer
    Drives a fake inbox event from a daemon thread, asserts the
    notification lands on a real os.pipe-backed asyncio writer with
    the correct JSON-RPC envelope. Catches: bridge wired up
    incorrectly (no-op _on_inbox_message), run_coroutine_threadsafe
    drift, _build_channel_notification call missing.

  test_inbox_bridge_swallows_closed_pipe_drain_error
    Closes the pipe's read end before firing, captures the
    concurrent.futures.Future that run_coroutine_threadsafe returns,
    asserts its exception() is None. Catches: narrowing the broad
    `except Exception` in _emit (e.g. to RuntimeError), or removing
    it. Without the swallow, the future carries a ConnectionResetError
    and the test fails with a clear message naming the regression.

  test_inbox_bridge_swallows_closed_loop_runtime_error
    Builds the bridge against a closed event loop, fires the
    callback, asserts no exception escapes. Catches: removing the
    `except RuntimeError` swallow on the run_coroutine_threadsafe
    call. Without it the poller thread would crash with
    "RuntimeError: Event loop is closed" during shutdown.

To make the bridge testable, extracted the closures from main() into
a top-level `_setup_inbox_bridge(writer, loop) -> Callable[[dict],
None]` helper. main()'s wire-up is now a single line that calls the
helper. Behavior is unchanged — same write, same drain, same
swallows — just no longer trapped inside main()'s closures.

Verified each test catches its regression by injection: removing
each swallow / no-op'ing the bridge each turn the matching test red
with a specific failure message that points at the missing piece.

2588ab27d5 feat(mcp): add channel instructions field — second gate for push UX
PR #2461 added the experimental.claude/channel capability declaration
on the assumption that was the missing gate for Claude Code surfacing
notifications/claude/channel as inline <channel> interrupts. Research
against code.claude.com/docs/en/channels-reference.md confirms the
capability IS one gate — but there's a SECOND required field we still
don't ship: `instructions` on the initialize result.

The docs are explicit: instructions is what tells the agent what the
<channel> tag attributes mean and which tool to call to reply. Without
it the channel registers but the agent receives the tag with no
context and has no idea how to handle it. The official telegram
plugin ships both (server.ts:370-396) — capability AND instructions.
We were shipping one of two.

This adds the instructions string. It documents:
- kind/peer_id/activity_id meta attributes
- canvas_user → send_message_to_user reply path
- peer_agent → delegate_task reply path
- inbox_pop ack to prevent duplicate-poll re-delivery
- threat model: treat message bodies as untrusted user content

Tests: 4 new pins. instructions present + non-empty, instructions
names each reply tool, instructions documents each tag attribute.
Failure messages name the symptom so a copy-edit can't silently
break the channel.

Live verification still pending after wheel ships — same plan as
the gap is in --dangerously-load-development-channels (host-side
flag, outside our control during the channels research preview).

63ef3b128c docs(mcp): correct server.ts reference + flag verification gap on experimental.claude/channel
Follow-up to commit 0a87dec5 (PR #2461, merged before live verification).

Two corrections to the docstring on `_build_initialize_result()`:

1. The original "mirrors molecule-mcp-claude-channel server.ts:374"
   claim is wrong on two axes. Line 374 is unrelated poll-init code
   (a comment inside `registerAsPoll`). The actual capability site
   is server.ts:475, where the bun bridge declares only
   `{ capabilities: { tools: {} } }` — *no* `experimental.claude/channel`.
   The bun bridge is reported to deliver `notifications/claude/channel`
   successfully in Claude Code despite this, which is direct counter-
   evidence that adding the capability was the bug fix.

2. The `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` server's `assertNotificationCapability`
   does not include `notifications/claude/channel` in any of its switch
   cases, meaning custom (non-spec) notification methods are sent
   regardless of declared capabilities. Server-side, the declaration
   is almost certainly a no-op.

This commit doesn't remove the capability — additive, not destructive,
and the new tests pin its presence — but downgrades the docstring's
certainty so the next person debugging "channel notification didn't
fire" doesn't trust a stale claim and pursues the more likely root
causes:

  - writer.drain() swallowing exceptions on a closed pipe
  - inbox-thread → asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe race during init
  - MCP transport not yet attached when the first inbox event fires

Live verification per #2444 §2 (fresh Claude Code session on this wheel
with a peer A2A message, observe whether the interrupt fires) remains
the open hard-gate.

0a87dec50e feat(mcp): declare experimental.claude/channel capability for push UX
Without this capability declaration in the initialize handshake,
Claude Code's MCP client receives our notifications/claude/channel
emissions but silently drops them — they never become inline
<channel> tags in the conversation. The push-UX bridge added in
PR #2433 ships, fires, and is invisible.

This was anticipated as a failure mode in #2444 §2 ("Notification
arrives but Claude Code doesn't surface it — host doesn't recognize
the method"), and confirmed live in this session: a canvas chat
"hi" landed in the inbox queue (inbox_peek returned it) but never
woke the agent until inbox_peek was called by hand.

The contract matches molecule-mcp-claude-channel/server.ts:374
where the bun bridge declares the same experimental flag.

Refactor: extracted _build_initialize_result() so the handshake
shape is unit-testable. Pure function, no behavioral change beyond
adding the experimental capability to the result.

Tests: 3 new pins on the initialize result (capability presence,
tools-still-there, protocolVersion stable). Closes the live-
verification gap §2 of #2444.

6e92fe0a08 chore: rewriter unit tests + drop misleading noqa on import inbox
Two small follow-ups to the PR #2433#2436#2439 incident chain.

1) `import inbox  # noqa: F401` in workspace/a2a_mcp_server.py was
   misleading — `inbox` IS used (at the bridge wiring inside main()).
   F401 means "imported but unused", which would mask a real future
   F401 if the usage is removed. Drop the noqa, keep the explanatory
   block comment about the rewriter's `import X` → `import mr.X as X`
   expansion (and the `import X as Y` → `import mr.X as X as Y` trap
   the comment exists to prevent re-introducing).

2) scripts/test_build_runtime_package.py — 17 unit tests covering
   `rewrite_imports()` and `build_import_rewriter()` in
   scripts/build_runtime_package.py. Until now the function had zero
   coverage despite the entire wheel build depending on it. Tests
   pin: bare-import aliasing, dotted-import preservation, indented
   imports, from-imports (simple + dotted + multi-symbol + block),
   the `import X as Y` rejection added in PR #2436 (with comment-
   stripping + indented + comma-not-alias edge cases), allowlist
   anchoring (`a2a` ≠ `a2a_tools`), and end-to-end reproduction
   of the PR #2433 failing pattern + the #2436 fix pattern.

3) Wire scripts/test_*.py into CI by adding a second discover pass
   to test-ops-scripts.yml. Top-level scripts/ tests live alongside
   their target file (parallels the scripts/ops/ test layout); the
   existing scripts/ops/ pass keeps running because scripts/ops/
   has no __init__.py so a single discover from scripts/ root
   doesn't recurse. Two passes is simpler than retrofitting
   namespace packages. Path filter widened from `scripts/ops/**`
   to `scripts/**` so PRs touching the build script trigger the
   new tests.

0acdf3bb56 fix(wheel): import inbox without alias to dodge rewriter collision
PR #2433 (notifications/claude/channel) shipped 'import inbox as
_inbox_module' inside a2a_mcp_server.py:main(). The build script's
import rewriter expands plain 'import inbox' to
'import molecule_runtime.inbox as inbox', so the original source
became 'import molecule_runtime.inbox as inbox as _inbox_module',
which is invalid Python.

Caught at the publish-runtime + PR-built-wheel-smoke gate (the
SyntaxError trace is in run 25200422679). The wheel didn't ship to
PyPI because publish-runtime's smoke-import step refused to install
it, but staging is currently sitting on a broken-build commit until
this fix-forward lands.

Changes:
- a2a_mcp_server.py: lift `import inbox` to top of file (rewriter
  produces clean `import molecule_runtime.inbox as inbox`), call
  inbox.set_notification_callback directly in main()
- build_runtime_package.py: rewrite_imports() now raises ValueError
  when it sees 'import X as Y' for any X in the workspace allowlist,
  instead of silently producing a syntax-error wheel. Operator gets
  a clear actionable error at build time pointing at the offending
  line + suggested rewrites ('from X import …' or plain 'import X').

The build-time gate (this PR's rewriter check) catches the regression
class earlier than the smoke-time gate (PR #2433's failure). Adding
'PR-built wheel + import smoke' to staging branch protection's
required checks is filed separately so this class doesn't merge again.

0a3ec53f34 feat(mcp): notifications/claude/channel for push-feel inbox UX
Adds a notification seam to the universal molecule-mcp wheel so push-
notification-capable MCP hosts (Claude Code today; any compliant
client tomorrow) get inbound A2A messages as conversation interrupts
instead of having to poll wait_for_message / inbox_peek.

Wire-up:
- inbox.py: module-level _NOTIFICATION_CALLBACK + set_notification_callback()
  Fires from InboxState.record() AFTER lock release, with same dict
  shape inbox_peek returns. Best-effort — a raising callback never
  prevents the message from landing in the queue.
- a2a_mcp_server.py: _build_channel_notification() pure helper +
  bridge wiring in main() that schedules notifications via
  asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe (poller is a daemon thread, MCP
  loop is asyncio).
- Method name 'notifications/claude/channel' matches the contract
  documented in molecule-mcp-claude-channel/server.ts:509.
- wheel_smoke.py: pin set_notification_callback as a published name,
  same regression class as the 0.1.16 main_sync incident.

Pollers (wait_for_message / inbox_peek) keep working unchanged for
runtimes without notification support.

Tests: 6 new in test_inbox.py (callback fires once on record, dedupe
short-circuits before fire, raising cb doesn't break inbox, set/clear
semantics), 5 new in test_a2a_mcp_server.py (method name pin, content
mapping, meta routing, no-id JSON-RPC notification spec, missing-
field tolerance). All 59 combined tests pass.

b47d4ceb00 feat(workspace-runtime): add inbox polling for standalone molecule-mcp path
The universal MCP server (a2a_mcp_server.py) was outbound-only — agents
in standalone runtimes (Claude Code, hermes, codex, etc.) could
delegate, list peers, and write memories, but never observed the
canvas-user or peer-agent messages addressed to them. This blocked
"constantly responding" loops without forcing operators back onto a
runtime-specific channel plugin.

This PR closes the inbound gap with a poller-fed in-memory queue and
three new MCP tools:

  - wait_for_message(timeout_secs?) — block until next message arrives
  - inbox_peek(limit?)              — list pending messages (non-destructive)
  - inbox_pop(activity_id)          — drop a handled message

A daemon thread polls /workspaces/:id/activity?type=a2a_receive every
5s, fills the queue from the cursor (since_id), and persists the cursor
to ${CONFIGS_DIR}/.mcp_inbox_cursor so a restart doesn't replay backlog.
On 410 (cursor pruned) we fall back to since_secs=600 for a bounded
recovery window. Activity-row → InboxMessage extraction mirrors the
molecule-mcp-claude-channel plugin's extractText (envelope shapes #1-3
+ summary fallback).

mcp_cli.main starts the poller alongside the existing register +
heartbeat threads. In-container runtimes (which have push delivery via
canvas WebSocket) skip activation, so inbox tools return an
informational "(inbox not enabled)" message instead of double-delivery.

b54ceb799f fix: address 5-axis review findings on PR #2413
Critical:
- ExternalConnectModal.tsx: filledUniversalMcp substitution searched
  for WORKSPACE_AUTH_TOKEN but the snippet's placeholder is now
  MOLECULE_WORKSPACE_TOKEN (changed in the previous polish commit
  876c0bfc). Operators copy-pasting the MCP tab would have gotten a
  literal "<paste from create response>" instead of the token. Fix
  the substitution to match the new placeholder name.

Important:
- mcp_cli._platform_register: 401/403 from initial register now hard-
  exits with code 3 + an actionable stderr message pointing the
  operator at the canvas Tokens tab. Pre-fix: warning log + continue,
  which made a bad-token startup silently fail (heartbeat 401's
  forever, every tool call also 401's, no clear surfacing in the
  operator's MCP client). 500/503 still log + continue (transient
  platform blips shouldn't abort the MCP loop).
- a2a_mcp_server.cli_main docstring: removed stale claim that this is
  the wheel's console-script entry-point target. The actual target is
  mcp_cli.main since 2026-04-30. Wheel-smoke pins both names so the
  functionality was correct, but the doc was lying.

Test coverage: 3 new mcp_cli tests:
  - register 401 exits code=3 + stderr mentions canvas Tokens tab
  - register 403 (C18 hijack rejection) takes same path
  - register 500/503 does NOT exit — only auth errors hard-fail

Findings deferred to follow-up (acceptable per review rubric):
  - Code dedup across mcp_cli / heartbeat.py / molecule_agent SDK
  - Pooled httpx.Client for connection reuse
  - Heartbeat exponential backoff
  - Token-resolution ordering parity (env-first vs file-first)
    between mcp_cli.main and platform_auth.get_token

169e284d57 feat(workspace-runtime): expose universal MCP server to runtime=external operators
Ship the baseline universal MCP path that any external runtime (Claude
Code, hermes, codex, anything that speaks MCP stdio) can use, before
optimizing per-runtime channels. Today the workspace MCP server only
spins up inside the container; external operators have no way to call
the 8 platform tools (delegate_task, list_peers, send_message_to_user,
commit_memory, etc.) from outside.

Three additive changes:

1. **`platform_auth.get_token()` env-var fallback** — adds
   `MOLECULE_WORKSPACE_TOKEN` as a fallback when no
   `${CONFIGS_DIR}/.auth_token` file exists. File-first preserves
   in-container behavior unchanged. External operators (no /configs
   volume) now have a way to supply the token without faking the
   filesystem layout.

2. **`molecule-mcp` console script** — adds a new entry point in the
   published `molecule-ai-workspace-runtime` PyPI wheel. Operators run
   `pip install molecule-ai-workspace-runtime`, set 3 env vars
   (WORKSPACE_ID, PLATFORM_URL, MOLECULE_WORKSPACE_TOKEN), and register
   the binary in their agent's MCP config. `mcp_cli.main` is a thin
   validator wrapper — it checks env BEFORE importing the heavy
   `a2a_mcp_server` module so a misconfigured first-run gets a friendly
   3-line error instead of a 20-line module-level RuntimeError
   traceback.

3. **Wheel smoke gate** — extends `scripts/wheel_smoke.py` to assert
   `cli_main` and `mcp_cli.main` are importable. Same regression class
   as the 0.1.16 main_sync incident: a silent rename or unrewritten
   import here would break every external operator on the next wheel
   publish (memory: feedback_runtime_publish_pipeline_gates.md).

Test coverage:
- `tests/test_platform_auth.py` — 8 new tests for the env-var fallback:
  file-priority, env-fallback, whitespace handling, cache, header
  construction, empty-env-as-unset.
- `tests/test_mcp_cli.py` — 8 new tests for the validator: each
  required var separately, file-or-env satisfies token requirement,
  whitespace-only env treated as missing, help mentions canvas Tokens
  tab.
- Full `workspace/tests/` suite green: 1346 passed, 1 skipped.
- Local end-to-end: built wheel, installed in venv, ran `molecule-mcp`
  with no env → friendly error; with env → MCP server starts.

Why now / why this shape: user redirect was "support the baseline
first so all runtimes can use, then optimize". A claude-only MCP
channel leaves hermes/codex/third-party operators broken on
runtime=external. This PR ships the runtime-agnostic baseline; per-
runtime polish (claude-channel push delivery, hermes-native
bindings) is a follow-up PR. PR #2412 fixed the partner bug where
canvas Restart silently revoked the operator's token — the two
together unblock the external-runtime story end-to-end.

f323def18f chore(build): include platform_tools in runtime wheel SUBPACKAGES
The PR-built wheel + import smoke gate refused the platform_tools
package because it's a new subdirectory under workspace/ that wasn't
in scripts/build_runtime_package.py:SUBPACKAGES. The drift gate (which
exists for exactly this reason) caught it cleanly:

  error: SUBPACKAGES drifted from workspace/ subdirectories:
    in workspace/ but NOT in SUBPACKAGES (will ship un-rewritten or
    be excluded): ['platform_tools']

Adding platform_tools to SUBPACKAGES wires the package into the
runtime wheel + applies the canonical
  from platform_tools.<x> -> from molecule_runtime.platform_tools.<x>
import-rewrite step that every other subpackage uses.

Verified locally: scripts/build_runtime_package.py succeeds, the
rewritten a2a_mcp_server.py reads
  from molecule_runtime.platform_tools.registry import TOOLS
which matches the package layout in the wheel.

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).

7504aba934 feat(tools): tighten send_message_to_user description to forbid pasting URLs in body
Root-cause fix for #118 (chat attachments rendering as plain text links
instead of download chips). User flagged with screenshot 2026-04-26
showing the Design Director agent pasting https://files.catbox.moe/…
in the message body — chat rendered the URL as plain markdown text,
unclickable in the canvas's bubble layout, and unreachable in any SaaS
deployment where the user's browser can't egress to catbox.

The structured `attachments` field already exists, the canvas's
AttachmentChip already renders well, the WebSocket broadcast already
carries attachments verbatim — the missing piece was the LLM choosing
the body over the structured field. Tighten the tool description so it
trains the right behavior.

Three targeted strengthenings:

  1. Top-level tool description: enumerated use case (4) now reads
     "via the `attachments` field (NEVER paste file URLs in `message`)".
     The all-caps NEVER + the explicit field name move the LLM toward
     the structured path on first read.

  2. `message` param: adds an explicit DO NOT rule with rationale.
     Includes the SaaS-reachability reason so operators can grep for
     "SaaS" and find this design constraint instead of re-discovering it
     after a tenant complaint. Calls out catbox.moe + file:// by name as
     concrete examples of forbidden hosts (those are the two we've seen
     in production).

  3. `attachments` param: leads with REQUIRED, lists the bad
     alternatives explicitly (pasting URLs, base64-encoding, telling
     user to look at a path). LLMs handle "use X, NOT Y" framings
     better than "use X" alone — observed during prompt-engineering
     iteration on hermes' tool descriptions.

Tests pin all three load-bearing phrases (4 new in test_a2a_mcp_server.py)
so a future doc edit that softens or drops them fails CI. Brittle by
design — these are prompt-engineering invariants, not implementation
details.

This is the root-cause fix. A defensive canvas-side backstop (auto-
detect download-shaped URLs in body and convert to chips) is a
follow-up that could land separately if the steering proves
insufficient in practice.

Verification:
  - 1190/1190 workspace pytest pass
  - 4 new test_a2a_mcp_server.py cases all green

Closes the steering half of #118. The structured-attachments-only
contract was already enforced server-side (PR #2130 added per-attachment
validation); this PR closes the prompt-side gap.

af664e3e87 feat(tools): borrow hermes-style discipline — error/summary caps + sharper MCP descriptions
Three small wins from the hermes-agent design survey, bundled because
each is too small for its own PR but they all improve the priority
adapters (claude-code + hermes) immediately.

1. Hermes-style cap on telemetry fields, applied INSIDE report_activity
   so every caller benefits without remembering. error_detail capped at
   4096 (hermes' value); summary capped at 256 (one-liner ceiling). The
   existing call site in tool_delegate_task already truncated error_detail
   at 4096, but moving the cap into the helper closes the door on a
   future caller pasting a giant traceback. response_text is NOT capped
   (it's the agent's user-visible reply; truncating would silently drop
   content). Pinned by 4 new tests including a negative-pin that
   response_text MUST stay untruncated.

2. Sharper MCP tool descriptions for commit_memory + recall_memory —
   hermes' delegate_task description literally says "WAIT for the response"
   and delegate_task_async says "Returns immediately." LLMs pick the
   right tool variant from descriptions; ambiguity costs accuracy.
   - commit_memory now states it APPENDS (each call creates a row, no
     overwrite) and that GLOBAL requires tier 0.
   - recall_memory now states it's case-insensitive substring search
     with no pagination, returns all matches, and that empty-query is
     cheap and safer than a narrow keyword.

3. (no code change) Filed task #120 for the bigger user-flow win — a
   per-workspace tool enable/disable menu in Canvas Config — and task
   #121 for model-string passthrough (depends on #87 universal-runtime
   refactor).

Verification:
  - 1312/1312 Python pytest pass (was 1308, +4 new)

See task #119 for the architectural follow-ups (event-log layer,
declarative skill compat, observability config block) and project
memory `project_runtime_native_pluggable.md`.

d028fe19ff feat(notify): agent → user file attachments via send_message_to_user
Closes the gap where the Director would say "ZIP is ready at /tmp/foo.zip"
in plain text instead of attaching a download chip — the runtime literally
had no API for outbound file attachments. The canvas + platform's
chat-uploads infrastructure already supported the inbound (user → agent)
direction (commit 94d9331c); this PR wires the outbound side.

End-to-end shape:

  agent: send_message_to_user("Done!", attachments=["/tmp/build.zip"])
   ↓ runtime
  POST /workspaces/<self>/chat/uploads (multipart)
   ↓ platform
  /workspace/.molecule/chat-uploads/<uuid>-build.zip
   → returns {uri: workspace:/...build.zip, name, mimeType, size}
   ↓ runtime
  POST /workspaces/<self>/notify
   {message: "Done!", attachments: [{uri, name, mimeType, size}]}
   ↓ platform
  Broadcasts AGENT_MESSAGE with attachments + persists to activity_logs
  with response_body = {result: "Done!", parts: [{kind:file, file:{...}}]}
   ↓ canvas
  WS push: canvas-events.ts adds attachments to agentMessages queue
  Reload: ChatTab.loadMessagesFromDB → extractFilesFromTask sees parts[]
  Either path → ChatTab renders download chip via existing path

Files changed:

  workspace-server/internal/handlers/activity.go
    - NotifyAttachment struct {URI, Name, MimeType, Size}
    - Notify body accepts attachments[], broadcasts in payload,
      persists as response_body.parts[].kind="file"

  canvas/src/store/canvas-events.ts
    - AGENT_MESSAGE handler reads payload.attachments, type-validates
      each entry, attaches to agentMessages queue
    - Skips empty events (was: skipped only when content empty)

  workspace/a2a_tools.py
    - tool_send_message_to_user(message, attachments=[paths])
    - New _upload_chat_files helper: opens each path, multipart POSTs
      to /chat/uploads, returns the platform's metadata
    - Fail-fast on missing file / upload error — never sends a notify
      with a half-rendered attachment chip

  workspace/a2a_mcp_server.py
    - inputSchema declares attachments param so claude-code SDK
      surfaces it to the model
    - Defensive filter on the dispatch path (drops non-string entries
      if the model sends a malformed payload)

  Tests:
    - 4 new Python: success path, missing file, upload 5xx, no-attach
      backwards compat
    - 1 new Go: Notify-with-attachments persists parts[] in
      response_body so chat reload reconstructs the chip

Why /tmp paths work even though they're outside the canvas's allowed
roots: the runtime tool reads the bytes locally and re-uploads through
/chat/uploads, which lands the file under /workspace (an allowed root).
The agent can specify any readable path.

Does NOT include: agent → agent file transfer. Different design problem
(cross-workspace download auth: peer would need a credential to call
sender's /chat/download). Tracked as a follow-up under task #114.

479a027e4b chore: open-source restructure — rename dirs, remove internal files, scrub secrets
Renames:
- platform/ → workspace-server/ (Go module path stays as "platform" for
  external dep compat — will update after plugin module republish)
- workspace-template/ → workspace/

Removed (moved to separate repos or deleted):
- PLAN.md — internal roadmap (move to private project board)
- HANDOFF.md, AGENTS.md — one-time internal session docs
- .claude/ — gitignored entirely (local agent config)
- infra/cloudflare-worker/ → Molecule-AI/molecule-tenant-proxy
- org-templates/molecule-dev/ → standalone template repo
- .mcp-eval/ → molecule-mcp-server repo
- test-results/ — ephemeral, gitignored

Security scrubbing:
- Cloudflare account/zone/KV IDs → placeholders
- Real EC2 IPs → <EC2_IP> in all docs
- CF token prefix, Neon project ID, Fly app names → redacted
- Langfuse dev credentials → parameterized
- Personal runner username/machine name → generic

Community files:
- CONTRIBUTING.md — build, test, branch conventions
- CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md — Contributor Covenant 2.1

All Dockerfiles, CI workflows, docker-compose, railway.toml, render.yaml,
README, CLAUDE.md updated for new directory names.
