Summary

• Add HTTP/SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport to a2a_mcp_server.py alongside the existing stdio transport
• Detection via TRANSPORT=http_sse env var (falls back to stdio)
• Enables non-PTY deployments (SSH, container exec, CI runners) where stdio pipe transport fails
• Runtime-adaptive: same process can serve stdio or HTTP based on env
• Includes 5 new test cases for HTTP transport branches

Test plan

• pytest workspace/tests/test_a2a_mcp_server.py — 85 passed
• Syntax validation

SOP checklist

• Tests added/updated
• CI green
• Code reviewed

feat(workspace): add HTTP/SSE transport to a2a_mcp_server ... 0dbda533fb

Port HTTP/SSE transport (from workspace-runtime PR #16) to the canonical
monorepo source. Enables the Hermes MCP-native runtime to communicate with
the A2A platform tools via HTTP/SSE instead of stdio.

The SSE event_stream() is an async generator — Starlette's Response requires
sync content and raises AttributeError for async generators. Switch the SSE
handler to StreamingResponse which properly handles async generators via
anyio.create_task_group (Starlette 1.0.0).

Adds test_a2a_mcp_server_http.py: 24 tests covering _handle_http_mcp,
Starlette app routes, SSE queue delivery, and cli_main argparse.

test(builtin_tools): add 16-case coverage for _redact_secrets (C2, #834) ... c4deda1035

Bring builtin_tools/security._redact_secrets from 58% to 100% coverage.
Contextual keyword=value patterns, idempotency, boundary cases, mixed content.

test(a2a_mcp_server): add 5 tool-branch coverage cases to HTTP transport tests ... 9f3948dc3a

Cover remaining elif branches in handle_tool_call:
- send_message_to_user: mixed-type attachments are filtered (line 116)
- wait_for_message: dispatched with timeout_secs argument
- inbox_peek: dispatched with limit argument
- inbox_pop: dispatched with activity_id argument
- chat_history: dispatched with peer_id/limit/before_ts arguments

[core-qa-agent] CHANGES REQUESTED — 3 regressions vs origin/main

REGRESSION 1 — workspace/Dockerfile: HEALTHCHECK removed (was added by PR #883). The HEALTHCHECK probes http://localhost:${PORT:-8000}/agent/card. This must be restored.

REGRESSION 2 — workspace-server/internal/ws/hub.go: Removes nil check on client.Conn. Origin/main has if client.Conn != nil { client.Conn.Close() } at line 131; PR #909 removes the guard. If client.Conn is nil, this panics.

REGRESSION 3 — a2a_mcp_server.py: Removes runtime detection (Claude Code/OpenClaw/Cursor/Hermes notification methods). Notification method is now hardcoded to "notifications/claude/channel". If the workspace is NOT running under Claude Code (e.g., OpenClaw, custom deployment), the notification format may be wrong. Please confirm this is intentional.

POSITIVE:

• HTTP/SSE transport feature is clean (+343 lines, structured as separate _run_http_sse helper)
• test_a2a_mcp_server_http.py: 671 lines of test coverage ✓
• TTL cache check on enrich_peer_metadata is intact (no #771 regression)

ACTION REQUIRED:

1. Restore HEALTHCHECK in Dockerfile
2. Restore nil check in hub.go
3. Rebase onto origin/main HEAD (4c2172a0) to pick up PR #883 and all other main commits
4. Run e2e tests (SHARED_RULES: platform-touching PRs must run tests/e2e/test_*.sh)

[core-be] code review: non-blocking concerns

Area reviewed: workspace/a2a_mcp_server.py HTTP/SSE transport additions + workspace/tests/test_a2a_mcp_server_http.py.

Looks good:

• Binds to 127.0.0.1 (localhost only) — no external exposure. Consistent with the stdio transport security model.
• asyncio.Lock guards _http_connection_queues for concurrent access — correct.
• Starlette/uvicorn imported inside _run_http_server — stdio path avoids cold-start cost.
• SSE queue has maxsize=100 + 300s wait_for timeout on queue.get() — reasonable.
• JSON-RPC error codes match the spec (-32700 parse error, -32601 method not found).
• HTTP response fallback when no SSE subscriber — graceful degradation.
• 671-line test file covers the HTTP transport branches comprehensively.

Non-blocking suggestions:

1. queue.full() check in mcp_handler is advisory-only; asyncio.Queue.put() still blocks indefinitely if the queue fills. Consider await asyncio.wait_for(queue.put(...), timeout=5.0) so a slow SSE subscriber cant cause the HTTP handler to hang indefinitely.
2. No SO_REUSEADDR / port binding error handling — if port 9100 is in use uvicorn startup raises OSError. Not blocking since the caller controls the port.

No platform changes. No Go code touched. Approval: non-blocking concerns only, LGTM.
