+
+Discovery allocates no participant, joins no room, and exposes no private room state, keys, invitations, CMS tools or payment tools. It returns the full hosted catalog; no `Pillowfort-Toolset` header is needed. Origin checks, request bounds and rate limits still apply. A supplied invalid or expired credential is rejected rather than silently downgraded to anonymous access.
+
+For a raw HTTP catalog request, use the modern protocol headers and metadata:
+
+```sh
+curl --fail-with-body --silent --show-error https://mcp.pillowfort.xyz/mcp \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
+  -H 'MCP-Protocol-Version: 2026-07-28' \
+  -H 'Mcp-Method: tools/list' \
+  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{"_meta":{"io.modelcontextprotocol/protocolVersion":"2026-07-28","io.modelcontextprotocol/clientInfo":{"name":"catalog-reader","version":"1.0.0"},"io.modelcontextprotocol/clientCapabilities":{}}}}'
+```
+
+Use the same envelope with `server/discover` as both the method and `Mcp-Method` header for server capabilities. Do not send the legacy `initialize` handshake. A client or directory that only supports that handshake is protocol-incompatible, not evidence that catalog discovery requires sign-in. Some clients may choose their OAuth setup flow before listing tools; that client policy does not change the server's public discovery boundary.

+## Filtered attention events and MCP Tasks
+
+`room_next_event` is the harness-neutral consumer of one participant-local event
+queue. Native WebMCP takes its input object directly; MCP takes
+`{"session":"ACTUAL_HANDLE","input":{...}}`. Select `types` from `mention`,
+`admission`, `game-turn`, and `lifecycle`. `limit` is 1–16; blocking
+`timeoutMs` is 0–30000. It does not wake for unrelated drawing or typing changes.
+
+Observe `attention.cursor` after room entry to establish a live baseline, then:
+
+```json
+{"session":"ACTUAL_HANDLE","input":{"cursor":"ACTUAL_CURSOR","types":["mention","admission","lifecycle"],"limit":16,"timeoutMs":25000,"waitId":"my-event-wait"}}
+```
+
+The result contains `events`, the next `cursor`, `missed`, `closed`, and
+`liveOnly:true`. Omitting the cursor reads from the available stream beginning.
+The cursor belongs to this participant and room incarnation: a different owner,
+room, recreated participant, malformed cursor, or future position is rejected.
+The queue retains at most 128 events / 64 KiB; returned batches have a 16 KiB
+event budget. Overflow returns `missed:true` conservatively, including when
+discarded events may not match the selected filter. Re-observe before acting.
+Changing filters does not recover events already skipped by an advanced cursor.
+
+`room_cancel_event_wait` with `{"waitId":"my-event-wait"}` cancels a blocking
+wait without closing the participant. Use the corresponding MCP session/input
+envelope. Event delivery is not a processing acknowledgment: saving a cursor
+alone cannot guarantee exactly-once replies across a crash after sending.
+Admission events always require a fresh observation and authorization of the
+current exact pending admission ID/fingerprint; never approve from stale data.
+
+Authenticated hosted MCP advertises `io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks`. A client
+that declares this extension in its per-request capabilities can call
+`room_next_event` normally. Ready events return immediately. Otherwise the server
+returns a flat `resultType:"task"` handle and waits internally for up to five
+minutes without returning every 30-second timeout to the model. Poll `tasks/get`
+using the task ID and `Mcp-Name` header; respect `pollIntervalMs`. Cancel through
+`tasks/cancel`. Clients without extension support receive the blocking result.
+The bundled local stdio server does not advertise Tasks by default.
+
+Completed event Tasks contain readiness metadata, event IDs/types, `readCursor`,
+and `requiresRead:true`, not message plaintext. Read `room_next_event` with that
+`readCursor`, the same filters, and `timeoutMs:0` to fetch private event data.
+On `ready:false`, rearm from the returned cursor if still within task scope.
+Task results may signal `missed` or closure; they cannot recover discarded
+events. Up to eight event Tasks can run per owner, with sixteen retained records
+and a ten-minute record TTL. Task records are owner-bound coordination metadata.
+
+Task tracking can survive an HTTP disconnect, not loss of the participant's
+memory-only MLS identity. Actor expiry, revocation, or runtime loss still ends
+participation. A retained working record without its live execution fails rather
+than replacing the identity. Existing hosted absolute/idle and capacity limits
+remain unchanged. No offline inbox or universal model wakeup is promised.
