+# @octane-xplat/mcp
+
+MCP server for agents working on Octane Xplat consumer apps. One entry point
+gives the agent detected project identity, framework versions, guidance,
+capability discovery, and the shared permission / session / evidence contracts
+that every later subsystem (docs, code search, runtime, inspection,
+development actions) plugs into.
+
+Published as a normal lockstep package on npm. The qualified surface today is
+the Chromium consumer lane (status/docs/code/build/launch/inspection/
+interaction/development actions); native-platform inspection and input
+adapters report honest `unavailable` results until they are qualified — see
+[Remaining acceptance](#remaining-acceptance).
+
+## Install and run
+
+Add the server to a consumer app and point the agent's MCP client at the
+installed `xplat-mcp` bin:
+
+```sh
+pnpm add -D @octane-xplat/mcp
+```
+
+```json
+{
+	"mcpServers": {
+		"octane-xplat": {
+			"command": "xplat-mcp",
+			"args": ["--workspace", "/path/to/app-workspace"]
+		}
+	}
+}
+```
+
+A one-off run without a devDependency also works:
+
+```sh
+pnpm dlx @octane-xplat/mcp --workspace /path/to/app-workspace
+```
+
+For development inside this repository:
+
+```sh
+pnpm --filter @octane-xplat/mcp start -- --workspace <path>
+pnpm --filter @octane-xplat/mcp test
+```
+
+Transport is stdio; stdout is protocol-clean (diagnostics go to stderr).
+Options: `--workspace` / `XPLAT_MCP_WORKSPACE` (default cwd), `--app` /
+`XPLAT_MCP_APP` (pre-select an app id), `--permissions` /
+`XPLAT_MCP_PERMISSIONS` (comma-separated scope grants), `--evidence-dir` /
+`XPLAT_MCP_EVIDENCE_DIR`.

+## Tools
+
+| Tool                                    | Purpose                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
+| --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `xplat_project_status`                  | Detected apps, selection state, framework version binding, guidance sources, docs/code-index status, declared platforms, runtime prerequisites, capability summary, permissions, boundaries, next steps.       |
+| `xplat_select_app`                      | Explicitly bind an app by id/path/name. Ambiguous or unknown selections fail with the candidate list — the server never picks silently.                                                                        |
+| `xplat_capability_matrix`               | Per-platform capability entries: build, launch, logs, inspection, screenshot, interaction, and the rest are separate rows with status, detail, and alternatives.                                               |
+| `xplat_permissions`                     | Grant states per scope plus the action-time check result and recovery path.                                                                                                                                    |
+| `xplat_sessions`                        | Bound sessions: owned vs attached user-owned, state, build identity.                                                                                                                                           |
+| `xplat_targets`                         | Launchable targets per platform (simulators, devices, host targets) with availability, missing-toolchain reasons, and busy/ownership state.                                                                    |
+| `xplat_build`                           | Build the bound app for one platform as a job — same commands `xplat build` runs. `requestKey` dedupes retries.                                                                                                |
+| `xplat_launch`                          | Owned dev session on one target as a job; completes at confirmed readiness, session owns the processes until `xplat_session_end`.                                                                              |
+| `xplat_attach`                          | Bind a compatible already-running dev session (user-owned, preserved).                                                                                                                                         |
+| `xplat_logs`                            | Bounded ordered logs for a session or build job: cursor, limit, stream filter, truncation/reset indicators, `historical` flag for dead sessions.                                                               |
+| `xplat_dev_actions`                     | The bound app's live development-action registry: instance identity, revision, declarations (contracts, effects, availability). Empty vs disconnected vs no-bridge are distinct states.                        |
+| `xplat_dev_action_invoke`               | Invoke an action against an exact app instance + registry revision. Pre-validates input, availability, grants and queue bounds; returns a job (`requestKey` dedupes retries).                                  |
+| `xplat_dev_action_status`               | Invocation status/result — same job data restricted to dev-action jobs, with instance/request identity.                                                                                                        |
+| `xplat_job_status` / `xplat_job_cancel` | Bounded job status and cooperative cancellation.                                                                                                                                                               |
+| `xplat_session_end`                     | Ownership-safe cleanup: owned sessions release resources; attached sessions are preserved (our log taps still stop).                                                                                           |
+| `xplat_evidence`                        | `list` / `retain` / `delete` evidence; retain takes an optional ISO expiration.                                                                                                                                |
+| `xplat_code_search`                     | Exact identifier/token search over current source (`mode: 'exact'`), optional local semantic index (`mode: 'semantic'`), or both (`'auto'`). Corpus filters: `app`, `framework`; platform and package filters. |
+| `xplat_code_read`                       | Bounded read of current source by search ref (`xplat-code://…`) or explicit corpus + path; results carry freshness markers and continuation offsets.                                                           |
+| `xplat_docs_search` / `xplat_docs_read` | Installed-version docs search and bounded page reads, with snapshot/version provenance and unavailable/conflict results.                                                                                       |
+| `xplat_guidance`                        | Tailored guidance for the selected app's installed packages.                                                                                                                                                   |
+
+## Retrieve the app's documentation
+
+Select your app first. Search defaults to maintained guides for its actual
+installed versions; design notes and recipes require an explicit corpus.
+The provider validates release tags and preserves cached snapshot commits.
+Missing matching docs return an installed-source fallback instead of latest docs.
+
+```json
+{
+	"name": "xplat_docs_search",
+	"arguments": { "query": "testID", "package": "@octane-xplat/ui", "platform": "web" }
+}
+```
+
+Read a result using its `ref`. A ref from an older installation remains tied
+to that version and is labeled outside the installed binding after an upgrade.
+`xplat_project_status` reports provider readiness; each search reports actual
+snapshot availability, so readiness alone is not a successful retrieval.
+
+```json
+{
+	"name": "xplat_docs_read",
+	"arguments": {
+		"package": "@octane-xplat/ui",
+		"path": "docs/verify/test-identifiers.md",
+		"limit": 2000
+	}
+}
+```
+
+Code search reads the bound application's source plus its installed
+`@octane-xplat/*` package sources — corpora stay labeled and distinguishable.
+The semantic index is local TF-IDF (`local-tfidf`): it builds in the
+background, reports `preparing` / `ready` / `stale` / `unavailable`, and stale
+hits are revalidated against current file content before serving. Nothing
+leaves the machine; there is no remote embedding path. Secrets, private
+configuration, generated output, and paths outside the bound scope are
+excluded and unreadable.
+
+Every result is `{ ok: true, data } | { ok: false, error }` where `error` is a
+`ContractError` from the shared vocabulary.
+
+The service layer lives in `packages/cli/src/mcp/` — the `xplat` CLI projects
+the same contracts through its agent commands (`xplat catalog --json` is the
+entry point). `packages/mcp/src/` holds the stdio transport adapter: tool
+registration wraps the shared services, and the published `.d.ts` contract
+surface stays here.
+
+## Contract surface (`@octane-xplat/mcp/contracts/*`)
+
+Later work packages integrate against these modules; the `.d.ts` files are the
+documented surface and the `.mjs` files carry the runtime values and stores.
+
+- `errors` — `ContractErrorCode` vocabulary (`invalid_selection`,
+  `ambiguous_selection`, `permission_denied`, `unsupported_capability`,
+  `prerequisite_missing`, `target_busy`, `stale_identity`,
+  `disconnected_runtime`, `execution_failure`, `not_found`, `cancelled`,
+  `timeout`, `unavailable`) with `recovery` (smallest corrective action) and
+  `retryable` semantics.
+- `identity` — `Platform`, `AppRef`, `FrameworkBinding` (installed / workspace /
+  lockfile / provisional version sources), `GuidanceStatus`,
+  `RuntimePrerequisite`, `AppSelection` (`bound` / `ambiguous` / `none`).
+- `capabilities` — `CapabilityId`, `CapabilityStatus`, `CapabilityEntry`,
+  `PlatformCapabilityMatrix`, and the `CapabilityProvider` / registry seam
+  adapters use to report real support.
+- `policy` — `PermissionScope` grants (`workspace`, `runtime-actions`,
+  `visual-capture`, `evidence-retain`, `external-effects`), `PolicyStore` with
+  task-authorization baseline, action-time checks, expiry, revocation, and an
+  elicitation channel for explicit developer grants. `visual-capture` is never
+  baseline-granted.
+- `sessions` — `SessionBinding` (`owned` / `attached`, `starting` / `ready` /
+  `disconnected` / `stopped`), `Job` (`queued` → `running` → terminal, with
+  `cancelling` / `cancelled`), request-key deduplication, and ownership-safe
+  `end` / `shutdown`.
+- `evidence` — `EvidenceRecord` with provenance (app, platform, target,
+  session, build identity, time, interaction mechanism), session-scoped
+  default retention, `retain` with expiration, ownership-safe deletion, and
+  `TRANSCRIPT_LIMITATION_NOTE`. `isOsInputEvidence` is the guard that keeps
+  handler-dispatch results from being labeled OS-input verification.
+- `status` — `ProjectStatusReport`, the shape `xplat_project_status` returns.
+- `code` — the `CodeProvider` seam the context's `code` slot consumes, plus
+  `CodeHit` / `CodeSearchResult` / provenance and freshness shapes.
+- `boundaries` — `PRODUCT_BOUNDARIES`, the advertised out-of-scope list.
+- `actions` — the app-declared development-action wire contract (package G):
+  `DevActionDeclaration` (stable id, title, description, runtime-validatable
+  input/result field contracts, disclosed effects, availability, execution
+  policy), `DevActionRegistryAnnouncement` (instance identity + revision +
+  declarations), invocation request/outcome types, and the field-subset
+  validators both sides share. The app announces its registry through a
+  dev-bridge (`xplatDevBridge` vite middleware in `@octane-xplat/cli`, included
+  in the `xplatNative` preset); the server scans the app's bridge session
+  files under `node_modules/.cache/xplat/dev-bridge/` and polls live
+  announcements — an empty registry is never confused with a disconnected app.
+
+## Runtime (work item D)
+
+The shared `runtime/` service (in `packages/cli/src/mcp/runtime/`, re-exported
+here) implements build/launch/attach/logs/cleanup for consumer apps
+on all six platforms. Adapters (`runtime/adapters/*`) own platform
+mechanics and always spawn the app's own toolchain — `pnpm exec vite`,
+`pnpm exec ns run …`, the app's installed `@octane-xplat/cli` dev entry, or
+its `dev` script — so a session behaves like the app's installed framework
+version. `service.mjs` owns the shared contract behavior: explicit
+app+target binding, `target_busy` contention, job dedupe/cooperative
+cancel, ownership-safe cleanup, bounded logs, and capability-matrix entries.
+
+| Platform       | Launch                                                            | Attach                                             | Host gate  |
+| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ---------- |
+| web / Chromium | `pnpm exec vite` + headless Chromium (devtools endpoint reported) | probe common dev ports — identity heuristic        | none       |
+| iOS            | `ns run ios --device <udid>`                                      | booted sim + app running → `simctl log stream` tap | macOS      |
+| Android        | `ns run android --device <serial>`                                | package running → `adb logcat --pid` tap           | none (adb) |
+| macOS          | `xplat.targets.macos.dev` → CLI dev entry, else `pnpm run dev`    | pgrep on app root — no scrollback                  | macOS      |
+| Linux          | `pnpm run dev` (app-owned script)                                 | pgrep on app root                                  | Linux      |
+| Windows        | `ns run windows`                                                  | not yet qualified                                  | Windows    |
+
+Readiness is probe/marker-confirmed (`ready` session state) — HTTP 200 for
+web, the host-start marker for macOS, `Successfully synced application` /
+first `CONSOLE` line for `ns run`. A timeout or pre-ready exit fails the job
+and ends the owned session honestly. Chromium is located via
+`XPLAT_MCP_CHROMIUM`, the Playwright browser cache, or system installs;
+without it the web session still reports the server URL with an explicit
+`browser.launched: false`.
+
+Physical iOS devices, Windows attach detection, and non-simulator iOS log
+taps are reported limitations, not silent gaps — the capability matrix
+carries the detail and an alternative.
+
+## Inspect and interact with Chromium
+
+This development package adds `xplat_inspect`, `xplat_interact`, and
+`xplat_screenshot` for the Chromium browser started by `xplat_launch`.
+Select a DOM `id` or shared `testID` explicitly; duplicate names fail.
+Inspection returns bounded text/value/geometry, a document identity, and
+session/build provenance. Main-document DOM hosts are the qualified surface;
+shadow roots, frames, component ownership and signals are excluded.
+
+```json
+{
+	"name": "xplat_inspect",
+	"arguments": {
+		"sessionId": "SESSION_FROM_LAUNCH",
+		"control": { "kind": "testID", "name": "counter.increment" }
+	}
+}
+```
+
+Pass the returned `documentId` when interacting. A `dom-event` interaction
+clicks the control center through CDP. `os-input` sends Space or Enter through
+the macOS event system to the owned headed Chromium process. It requires
+Swift, OS event-posting permission, and a desktop-input reservation. The
+server does not open permission prompts. Inspect the resulting app state
+separately; sending input alone is not an assertion.
+
+```json
+{
+	"name": "xplat_interact",
+	"arguments": {
+		"sessionId": "SESSION_FROM_LAUNCH",
+		"documentId": "DOCUMENT_FROM_INSPECTION",
+		"control": { "kind": "testID", "name": "counter.increment" },
+		"mechanism": "os-input",
+		"key": "Space"
+	}
+}
+```
+
+Screenshot requests require an explicit current-task `visual-capture` grant
+before connecting or sending a capture command. No grant means no capture.
+Password fields, hidden inputs and hosts marked `data-xplat-private` are
+redacted in nonvisual inspection; this does not guarantee complete redaction
+of arbitrary application data.
+
+```json
+{ "name": "xplat_screenshot", "arguments": { "sessionId": "SESSION_FROM_LAUNCH" } }
+```
+
+## Run the consumer acceptance lane
+
+Use a fresh directory outside your existing app. These commands scaffold the
+normal web starter and add one app-owned development action. The in-repo lane
+links framework packages to this checkout; other dependencies
+install normally. The runner checks docs and current code, build/readiness,
+the counter's `0 → 1` transition, action discovery/invocation, screenshot
+denial, logs, and owned browser/server/profile cleanup. It also checks that
+the fixture declaration and handler are absent from production artifacts.
+
+```sh
+node packages/mcp/tests/prepare-consumer.mjs /tmp/new-xplat-mcp-app
+pnpm --dir /tmp/new-xplat-mcp-app install
+node packages/mcp/tests/consumer-workflow.mjs /tmp/new-xplat-mcp-app
+```
+
+The default run supplies browser-event evidence. On macOS, reserve the full
+resource set and add `--os-input` for a headed Chromium OS keyboard journey.
+Only the owned browser receives the events; the helper attempts to restore the
+previously active application and reports when restoration is unconfirmed.
+The runner captures no images.
+
+```sh
+goddard-agent resource run --json '{"resources":{"native_builds":1,"desktop_input":1},"purpose":"MCP consumer OS keyboard acceptance"}' -- node packages/mcp/tests/consumer-workflow.mjs /tmp/new-xplat-mcp-app --os-input
+```
+
+The packed-artifact lane qualifies the same checks against release-evidence
+packaging: `prepare-packed-consumer.mjs` packs the needed packages, scaffolds
+through the packed `create-octane-xplat` bin, installs `file:` tarballs (no
+registry/latest resolution for framework packages), and tags the framework
+HEAD as `v<installed version>` in a local bare release fixture. The runner
+spawns the consumer's own installed `xplat-mcp` bin over stdin/stdout and
+redirects the canonical release-repo URL to the fixture through a per-process
+`url.insteadOf` (never user git config). Snapshot cache and evidence roots are
+isolated under the work dir. OS keyboard input additionally requires an
+unlocked console — the window server refuses activation while the screen is
+locked, and the run reports that block honestly.
+
+```sh
+goddard-agent resource run --json '{"resources":{"native_builds":1,"desktop_input":1},"purpose":"packed MCP stdio consumer acceptance"}' -- bash -c '
+  node packages/mcp/tests/prepare-packed-consumer.mjs /tmp/xplat-packed-mcp &&
+  node packages/mcp/tests/packed-stdio-consumer.mjs /tmp/xplat-packed-mcp'
+```
+
+For an existing consumer, declare actions behind the development build gate.
+Registration automatically starts the bridge when the dev-server endpoint is
+present. The action's contracts and effects appear in `xplat_dev_actions`;
+no action-specific MCP tool definition is needed.
+
+```ts
+if (import.meta.env.DEV) {
+	const { registerDevAction } = await import('@octane-xplat/platform/dev-actions')
+	registerDevAction({
+		id: 'fixture.describe-counter',
+		title: 'Describe the counter',
+		description: 'Identify this test fixture without external effects.',
+		result: { fields: { label: { type: 'string' } } },
+		effects: { summary: 'Read fixture identity.' },
+		run: () => ({ label: 'starter-counter' }),
+	})
+}
+```
+
+## Remaining acceptance
+
+The Chromium lane is an incremental milestone. All six platforms remain
+required by the original plan. Native inspection/input adapters, attached
+Chromium inspection, approved screenshot qualification, and the complete
+platform-by-capability acceptance matrix remain unfinished. Runtime adapters
+and honest unavailable responses do not establish native behavior.
+
+| Target          | Inspection/input qualification boundary                                        |

+## Boundaries
+
+This server complements the agent's editing tools. It is not an autonomous
+code editor or deployment system: no arbitrary shell execution, no arbitrary
+runtime expression evaluation, no universal component tree, no hook/signal
+inspection, no profiling API, no cloud indexing by default, no app-store
+operations, no credential management. Screenshots are permission-gated —
+capability existence never implies capture approval.

+/**
+ * App-declared development-action contract (design: plans/octane-xplat-mcp.md,
+ * "App-declared development actions").
+ *
+ * The app owns action semantics; the framework owns discovery and invocation.
+ * A dev-mode app announces a registry snapshot (identity + revision + typed
+ * declarations) over a platform bridge; this server lists the live registry
+ * and invokes actions through that same bridge. The declaration is the single
+ * source of truth: handler, runtime-validatable input/result contracts, and
+ * metadata all travel in one announcement — there are no MCP-side per-action
+ * definitions.
+ *
+ * Wire invariants:
+ * - Every registry carries `appInstanceId` — each running app realm (tab,
+ *   window, device process) is a distinct invocation destination. Calls are
+ *   never silently shared or redirected.
+ * - `revision` increments on every registry change (add/change/remove, owner
+ *   disposal, hot reload). Invocation presents the revision it read; a stale
+ *   revision is rejected with `stale_identity` before anything runs.
+ * - Announcements are heartbeats: a stopped heartbeat marks the instance
+ *   `disconnected` — a live app with zero actions still announces, so an
+ *   empty registry is always distinguishable from a disconnected runtime.
