Do not mix the two\n> forms; everything below is the platform CLI.\n\n1. **Publish** the clip directory to the org registry. Publishing is not a\n   release step here \u2014 it is the edit loop's SAVE button, because exec only\n   ever sees published files:\n\n   ```sh\n   parall clip publish ./my-clip/\n   ```\n\n   It packages the directory (the manifest plus the directory's top-level\n   `.js` files; an MCP clip is manifest-only) and POSTs it for you (5 MB cap).\n   `name` is the org-wide upsert key \u2014 manifest fields win, else the directory\n   name / `0.0.1` / `private` fill the gaps. Re-publishing an existing name is\n   **author-only** and REPLACES the file set. Publishing into YOUR org makes it\n   usable there immediately (same-org self-reference, no review);\n   `\"visibility\": \"public\"` additionally submits the version for platform\n   review before it can spread cross-org.\n\n   Programmatic equivalent (what `publish` calls under the hood \u2014 use only if\n   you can't run the CLI). Send it verbatim-shaped: `visibility` is exactly\n   one of `\"private\"` / `\"public\"`, and `files` maps each filename to its\n   source as a string:\n\n   ```\n   POST /api/v1/orgs/{orgId}/clip-registry/publish\n   {\n     \"name\": \"twitter\",\n     \"description\": \"Twitter / X\",\n     \"version\": \"1.0.0\",\n     \"visibility\": \"private\",\n     \"manifest\": {\n       \"name\": \"twitter\",\n       \"version\": \"1.0.0\",\n       \"commands\": { \"search\": { \"description\": \"Search tweets\" } }\n     },\n     \"files\": { \"search.js\": \"module.exports = async function (args) { return {}; };\" }\n   }\n   ```\n\n2. **Exec** a command against a real target. Args are ONE argument \u2014 a JSON\n   string (or plain text for a single-value command), not per-param flags:\n\n   ```sh\n   parall clip exec <clip> <command> '{\"query\":\"AI\",\"count\":10}' --connection <ccn_id|alias>\n   # or route to a desktop (BYOC) device you own: --edge <edge-id>\n   # --connection and --edge are mutually exclusive; --timeout <ms> defaults to 30000\n   ```\n\n   A **cloud (hosted) profile is reachable ONLY via `--connection`** \u2014 the\n   binding its maintainer created IS the authorization. With neither flag the\n   server resolves only your own online desktop device, never a cloud profile.\n   Discover the bindings with `parall clip connections <clip>`.\n\n3. **Iterate**: edit locally \u2192 `parall clip publish` again \u2192 re-exec. Exec\n   resolves the file set from the REGISTRY, server-side \u2014 your own org always\n   runs the live working copy, i.e. the latest publish. It NEVER reads your\n   local directory: an edit you did not re-publish silently runs the previous\n   version.\n\n## Install model & self-development (v3)\n\n- Installing a clip is a **reference**, not a copy \u2014 the JS lives once in the Market DB.\n- **Your own org** always executes its **live working copy** (latest published files),\n  so re-publishing is your edit loop.\n- **Other orgs** installing your `public` clip execute only the **approved snapshot**\n  (`approved_version_id`); unreviewed public edits are invisible/unexecutable cross-org.\n- To customize someone else's public clip: install \u2192 **fetch its effective\n  file set** \u2192 modify \u2192 **publish into your OWN org** (a derived private\n  entry). You cannot edit a published clip in place. The CLI has no files\n  subcommand (`clip info` returns only the manifest) \u2014 read the source via\n  the API:\n\n  ```\n  GET /api/v1/orgs/{orgId}/clip-registry/{clipId}/files\n  ```\n\n  It returns exactly what you may read and execute: your own clip \u2192 the live\n  working copy; an installed public clip \u2192 the approved snapshot.\n\n## MCP clips (manifest-only)\n\nAn MCP clip declares a remote MCP tool server. There is nothing to code: no\n`.js` files (the no-scripts refusal at publish applies to browser clips only),\nand the folder is just a manifest:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"name\": \"linear\",\n  \"description\": \"Linear (MCP)\",\n  \"version\": \"1.0.0\",\n  \"type\": \"mcp\",\n  \"mcp\": { \"server_url\": \"https://mcp.linear.app/mcp\", \"auth\": \"oauth\" }\n}\n```\n\n- The `mcp` block takes ONLY `server_url` and `auth` (`\"none\" | \"bearer\" |\n  \"api_key\" | \"oauth\"`). Any other key is refused at publish \u2014 a credential\n  belongs to the installing org's own configuration, NEVER to the clip\n  definition.\n- `server_url` must be an absolute **https** URL with no embedded credentials,\n  query, or fragment. It is review material, frozen with the approved version.\n- Do NOT put the server in the top-level `server` / `auth` manifest keys \u2014\n  those are legacy Edge-manifest fields nothing reads. Only the `mcp` block\n  declares the server.\n- Both fields are optional, but what you declare is LOCKED: the installing\n  org's config must match it, and changing the URL or auth mode means\n  republishing.\n- Entering the credential / completing OAuth is a HUMAN step in the Clip\n  Console (the config-write endpoints are session-only \u2014 an API key cannot\n  call them). An org can add SEVERAL connections to one MCP clip \u2014 one\n  credential slot per account of the same service \u2014 all sharing the declared\n  `server_url`/`auth`. Once configured, discover the live tool schemas with\n  `parall clip tools <clip> [--connection <ref>]` and exec like any other\n  clip (`--connection` picks the account).\n- Do NOT declare anything about OAuth client registration in the manifest \u2014\n  there is no such field. Whether the provider needs a manually registered\n  OAuth app (Google-style) is probed by the server at connect time; the\n  Console walks the admin through it when required.\n- Publish is the same command: `parall clip publish ./my-clip/`.\n\n## Cloud (hosted) vs desktop (BYOC) Edge\n\nThe same command JS runs on either. Hosted profiles are org-shared cloud browsers\nreachable ONLY via an explicit `--connection`; cloud state lives in S3 and is\nhydrated per pod. Your code never touches this \u2014 it just gets a `browser`/`tab`\nbound to whatever profile the connection selected.\n\n## Constraints\n\n- Browser clips: one command = one file; keep a command's work self-contained\n  (open what you need, close it, return). The Edge is stateless about your code\n  between calls.\n- Never embed credentials in the clip source \u2014 rely on the profile's logged-in\n  session (`tab.cookie` / `tab.fetch`). Published source is visible to installers.\n- Exec has a timeout (default 30s, caller-set up to 120s). Long scrapes should page,\n  not block.\n";

+   \`"visibility": "public"\` additionally submits the version for platform
+   review before it can spread cross-org.
+
+   Programmatic equivalent (what \`publish\` calls under the hood — use only if
+   you can't run the CLI). Send it verbatim-shaped: \`visibility\` is exactly
+   one of \`"private"\` / \`"public"\`, and \`files\` maps each filename to its
+   source as a string:
+
+   \`\`\`
+   POST /api/v1/orgs/{orgId}/clip-registry/publish
+   {
+     "name": "twitter",
+     "description": "Twitter / X",
+     "version": "1.0.0",
+     "visibility": "private",
+     "manifest": {
+       "name": "twitter",
+       "version": "1.0.0",
+       "commands": { "search": { "description": "Search tweets" } }
+     },
+     "files": { "search.js": "module.exports = async function (args) { return {}; };" }
+   }
+   \`\`\`
+
+2. **Exec** a command against a real target. Args are ONE argument — a JSON
+   string (or plain text for a single-value command), not per-param flags:
+
+   \`\`\`sh
+   parall clip exec <clip> <command> '{"query":"AI","count":10}' --connection <ccn_id|alias>
+   # or route to a desktop (BYOC) device you own: --edge <edge-id>
+   # --connection and --edge are mutually exclusive; --timeout <ms> defaults to 30000
+   \`\`\`
+
+   A **cloud (hosted) profile is reachable ONLY via \`--connection\`** — the
+   binding its maintainer created IS the authorization. With neither flag the
+   server resolves only your own online desktop device, never a cloud profile.
+   Discover the bindings with \`parall clip connections <clip>\`.
+
+3. **Iterate**: edit locally → \`parall clip publish\` again → re-exec. Exec
+   resolves the file set from the REGISTRY, server-side — your own org always
+   runs the live working copy, i.e. the latest publish. It NEVER reads your
+   local directory: an edit you did not re-publish silently runs the previous
+   version.
+
+## Install model & self-development (v3)
+
+- Installing a clip is a **reference**, not a copy — the JS lives once in the Market DB.
+- **Your own org** always executes its **live working copy** (latest published files),
+  so re-publishing is your edit loop.
+- **Other orgs** installing your \`public\` clip execute only the **approved snapshot**
+  (\`approved_version_id\`); unreviewed public edits are invisible/unexecutable cross-org.
+- To customize someone else's public clip: install → **fetch its effective
+  file set** → modify → **publish into your OWN org** (a derived private
+  entry). You cannot edit a published clip in place. The CLI has no files
+  subcommand (\`clip info\` returns only the manifest) — read the source via
+  the API:
+
+  \`\`\`
+  GET /api/v1/orgs/{orgId}/clip-registry/{clipId}/files
+  \`\`\`
+
+  It returns exactly what you may read and execute: your own clip → the live
+  working copy; an installed public clip → the approved snapshot.
+
+## MCP clips (manifest-only)
+
+An MCP clip declares a remote MCP tool server. There is nothing to code: no
+\`.js\` files (the no-scripts refusal at publish applies to browser clips only),
+and the folder is just a manifest:
+
+\`\`\`json
+{
+  "name": "linear",
+  "description": "Linear (MCP)",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "type": "mcp",
+  "mcp": { "server_url": "https://mcp.linear.app/mcp", "auth": "oauth" }
+}
+\`\`\`
+
+- The \`mcp\` block takes ONLY \`server_url\` and \`auth\` (\`"none" | "bearer" |
+  "api_key" | "oauth"\`). Any other key is refused at publish — a credential
+  belongs to the installing org's own configuration, NEVER to the clip
+  definition.
+- \`server_url\` must be an absolute **https** URL with no embedded credentials,
+  query, or fragment. It is review material, frozen with the approved version.
+- Do NOT put the server in the top-level \`server\` / \`auth\` manifest keys —
+  those are legacy Edge-manifest fields nothing reads. Only the \`mcp\` block
+  declares the server.
+- Both fields are optional, but what you declare is LOCKED: the installing
+  org's config must match it, and changing the URL or auth mode means
+  republishing.
+- Entering the credential / completing OAuth is a HUMAN step in the Clip
+  Console (the config-write endpoints are session-only — an API key cannot
+  call them). An org can add SEVERAL connections to one MCP clip — one
+  credential slot per account of the same service — all sharing the declared
+  \`server_url\`/\`auth\`. Once configured, discover the live tool schemas with
+  \`parall clip tools <clip> [--connection <ref>]\` and exec like any other
+  clip (\`--connection\` picks the account).
+- Do NOT declare anything about OAuth client registration in the manifest —
+  there is no such field. Whether the provider needs a manually registered
+  OAuth app (Google-style) is probed by the server at connect time; the
+  Console walks the admin through it when required.
+- Publish is the same command: \`parall clip publish ./my-clip/\`.
+
+## Cloud (hosted) vs desktop (BYOC) Edge
+
+The same command JS runs on either. Hosted profiles are org-shared cloud browsers
+reachable ONLY via an explicit \`--connection\`; cloud state lives in S3 and is
+hydrated per pod. Your code never touches this — it just gets a \`browser\`/\`tab\`
+bound to whatever profile the connection selected.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Browser clips: one command = one file; keep a command's work self-contained
+  (open what you need, close it, return). The Edge is stateless about your code
+  between calls.
+- Never embed credentials in the clip source — rely on the profile's logged-in
+  session (\`tab.cookie\` / \`tab.fetch\`). Published source is visible to installers.
+- Exec has a timeout (default 30s, caller-set up to 120s). Long scrapes should page,
+  not block.

+
+Write a **registry (v3) clip**. This skill is for CREATING clips; to DISCOVER
+and CALL clips that are already installed, use the Parall Clips skill instead.
+
+Two kinds of clip exist, and this document covers authoring both:
+
+- A **browser clip** — the main subject here — is a folder of named commands
+  that run on an Edge (a member's desktop or an org-shared cloud profile) and
+  drive a real browser session: one manifest (\`manifest.json\` or \`site.json\`,
+  either name works) + one \`.js\` file per command + optional \`_\`-prefixed
+  helpers. The Edge runs each command's JS in a sandbox with a browser handle
+  bound to the target profile.
+- An **MCP clip** is a manifest-ONLY declaration pointing at a remote MCP tool
+  server — no \`.js\` files; its tools come live from that server's own
+  \`tools/list\`, never from the manifest. See "MCP clips" below.

+}
+\`\`\`
+
+- \`commands\` keys MUST match the \`.js\` filenames (\`search\` ↔ \`search.js\`).
+- \`params\` is the input contract the caller sees in \`clip info\`; validate them in code too.
+- **No top-level \`"type"\` needed for a browser clip** — omitting it means
+  browser. The only accepted values are \`"browser"\` and \`"mcp"\` (for the
+  latter, see "MCP clips" below). **\`"type": "clip"\` is the legacy Pinix v2
+  package value and is refused at publish** — don't copy it in from an older
+  clip.
+
+## A command file
+
+\`\`\`js
+// search.js — a command is a single async function of (args).
+// The code does NOT know or pick the profile; the Edge binds it per invocation.
+//
+// SHAPE, not a runnable Twitter client: the "..." parts (the GraphQL path,
+// parseTweets' body) are what you fill in per target site. Deliberately not
+// pinned to a real X endpoint — a site's internal API paths rotate, and a
+// stale one baked into this skill would teach a URL that 404s.
+module.exports = async function (args) {
+  if (!args.query) return { error: "Missing argument: query" };
+
+  const tab = await browser.open("https://x.com");
+  // Everything after open() goes in try/finally: an early return or a thrown
+  // fetch would otherwise leak the tab, and the Edge is long-lived.
+  try {
+    const ct0 = await tab.cookie("ct0");
+    if (!ct0) return { error: "Not logged in" };
+
+    const data = await tab.fetch("/i/api/graphql/.../SearchTimeline?...", {
+      headers: twitterHeaders(ct0), // from _helpers.js, auto-injected
+    });
+    return { query: args.query, tweets: parseTweets(data) };
+  } finally {
+    await tab.close();
+  }
+};
+\`\`\`
+
+Return a plain JSON-serializable object. A thrown error surfaces to the caller as
+\`SCRIPT_ERROR\`; a returned \`{ error: "..." }\` is your own typed failure — prefer it
+for expected cases (not logged in, missing arg).
+
+## Helpers (\`_\`-prefixed)
+
+Any file whose name starts with \`_\` is NOT a command. Its top-level functions are
+injected into every command's scope — no import/require needed:
+
+\`\`\`js
+// _helpers.js
+function twitterHeaders(ct0) {
+  return { "X-Csrf-Token": ct0, "X-Twitter-Auth-Type": "OAuth2Session" };
+}
+function parseTweets(data) { /* ... */ }
+\`\`\`
+
+## Runtime API (globals available in every command)
+
+- \`browser.open(url)\` → tab handle · \`browser.tabs()\` → open tabs
+- \`tab.cookie(name)\` · \`tab.fetch(url, opts)\` (in-browser fetch, carries the session)
+- \`tab.eval(expr)\` (escape hatch) · \`tab.click(sel)\` · \`tab.fill(sel, text)\` · \`tab.navigate(url)\`
+- \`tab.waitForSelector(sel)\` · \`tab.getTitle()\` · \`tab.getURL()\` · \`tab.screenshot()\` · \`tab.close()\`
+- \`fetch\` — runtime-side HTTP, does NOT go through the browser (no session)
+- \`console\` — logs · \`args\` — the invocation input
+
+**Prefer \`tab.fetch\` over \`tab.eval\`**: fetch reuses the logged-in session and
+returns structured data; eval is the last resort. Always \`tab.close()\` what you
+open, and do it in a \`finally\` — an early return or a thrown fetch is exactly
+when the tab leaks.
+
+## Develop → publish → iterate
+
+Use the platform \`parall clip\` subcommands — they reuse the credentials you
+already have (\`PRLL_API_KEY\` / \`PRLL_ORG_ID\`), so there is nothing to install
+or configure.
+
+> A separate **standalone \`parall-clip\`** binary also exists (the Edge-side
+> authoring tool). It takes the SAME operations but a DIFFERENT argument shape —
+> \`parall-clip exec <clip> <cmd> --query "AI" --count 10\` passes one flag per
+> param, while \`parall clip exec\` takes a single JSON blob. Do not mix the two
+> forms; everything below is the platform CLI.
+
+1. **Publish** the clip directory to the org registry. Publishing is not a
+   release step here — it is the edit loop's SAVE button, because exec only
+   ever sees published files:
+
+   \`\`\`sh
+   parall clip publish ./my-clip/
+   \`\`\`
+
+   It packages the directory (the manifest plus the directory's top-level
+   \`.js\` files; an MCP clip is manifest-only) and POSTs it for you (5 MB cap).
+   \`name\` is the org-wide upsert key — manifest fields win, else the directory
+   name / \`0.0.1\` / \`private\` fill the gaps. Re-publishing an existing name is
+   **author-only** and REPLACES the file set. Publishing into YOUR org makes it
+   usable there immediately (same-org self-reference, no review);
+   \`"visibility": "public"\` additionally submits the version for platform
+   review before it can spread cross-org.
+
+   Programmatic equivalent (what \`publish\` calls under the hood — use only if
+   you can't run the CLI). Send it verbatim-shaped: \`visibility\` is exactly
+   one of \`"private"\` / \`"public"\`, and \`files\` maps each filename to its
+   source as a string:
+
+   \`\`\`
+   POST /api/v1/orgs/{orgId}/clip-registry/publish
+   {
+     "name": "twitter",
+     "description": "Twitter / X",
+     "version": "1.0.0",
+     "visibility": "private",
+     "manifest": {
+       "name": "twitter",
+       "version": "1.0.0",
+       "commands": { "search": { "description": "Search tweets" } }
+     },
+     "files": { "search.js": "module.exports = async function (args) { return {}; };" }
+   }
+   \`\`\`
+
+2. **Exec** a command against a real target. Args are ONE argument — a JSON
+   string (or plain text for a single-value command), not per-param flags:
+
+   \`\`\`sh
+   parall clip exec <clip> <command> '{"query":"AI","count":10}' --connection <ccn_id|alias>
+   # or route to a desktop (BYOC) device you own: --edge <edge-id>
+   # --connection and --edge are mutually exclusive; --timeout <ms> defaults to 30000
+   \`\`\`
+
+   A **cloud (hosted) profile is reachable ONLY via \`--connection\`** — the
+   binding its maintainer created IS the authorization. With neither flag the
+   server resolves only your own online desktop device, never a cloud profile.
+   Discover the bindings with \`parall clip connections <clip>\`.
+
+3. **Iterate**: edit locally → \`parall clip publish\` again → re-exec. Exec
+   resolves the file set from the REGISTRY, server-side — your own org always
+   runs the live working copy, i.e. the latest publish. It NEVER reads your
+   local directory: an edit you did not re-publish silently runs the previous
+   version.
+
+## Install model & self-development (v3)
+
+- Installing a clip is a **reference**, not a copy — the JS lives once in the Market DB.
+- **Your own org** always executes its **live working copy** (latest published files),
+  so re-publishing is your edit loop.
+- **Other orgs** installing your \`public\` clip execute only the **approved snapshot**
+  (\`approved_version_id\`); unreviewed public edits are invisible/unexecutable cross-org.
+- To customize someone else's public clip: install → **fetch its effective
+  file set** → modify → **publish into your OWN org** (a derived private
+  entry). You cannot edit a published clip in place. The CLI has no files
+  subcommand (\`clip info\` returns only the manifest) — read the source via
+  the API:
+
+  \`\`\`
+  GET /api/v1/orgs/{orgId}/clip-registry/{clipId}/files
+  \`\`\`
+
+  It returns exactly what you may read and execute: your own clip → the live
+  working copy; an installed public clip → the approved snapshot.
+
+## MCP clips (manifest-only)
+
+An MCP clip declares a remote MCP tool server. There is nothing to code: no
+\`.js\` files (the no-scripts refusal at publish applies to browser clips only),
+and the folder is just a manifest:
+
+\`\`\`json
+{
+  "name": "linear",
+  "description": "Linear (MCP)",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "type": "mcp",
+  "mcp": { "server_url": "https://mcp.linear.app/mcp", "auth": "oauth" }
+}
+\`\`\`
+
+- The \`mcp\` block takes ONLY \`server_url\` and \`auth\` (\`"none" | "bearer" |
+  "api_key" | "oauth"\`). Any other key is refused at publish — a credential
+  belongs to the installing org's own configuration, NEVER to the clip
+  definition.
+- \`server_url\` must be an absolute **https** URL with no embedded credentials,
+  query, or fragment. It is review material, frozen with the approved version.
+- Do NOT put the server in the top-level \`server\` / \`auth\` manifest keys —
+  those are legacy Edge-manifest fields nothing reads. Only the \`mcp\` block
+  declares the server.
+- Both fields are optional, but what you declare is LOCKED: the installing
+  org's config must match it, and changing the URL or auth mode means
+  republishing.
+- Entering the credential / completing OAuth is a HUMAN step in the Clip
+  Console (the config-write endpoints are session-only — an API key cannot
+  call them). An org can add SEVERAL connections to one MCP clip — one
+  credential slot per account of the same service — all sharing the declared
+  \`server_url\`/\`auth\`. Once configured, discover the live tool schemas with
+  \`parall clip tools <clip> [--connection <ref>]\` and exec like any other
+  clip (\`--connection\` picks the account).
+- Do NOT declare anything about OAuth client registration in the manifest —
+  there is no such field. Whether the provider needs a manually registered
+  OAuth app (Google-style) is probed by the server at connect time; the
+  Console walks the admin through it when required.
+- Publish is the same command: \`parall clip publish ./my-clip/\`.
+
+## Cloud (hosted) vs desktop (BYOC) Edge
+
+The same command JS runs on either. Hosted profiles are org-shared cloud browsers
+reachable ONLY via an explicit \`--connection\`; cloud state lives in S3 and is
+hydrated per pod. Your code never touches this — it just gets a \`browser\`/\`tab\`
+bound to whatever profile the connection selected.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Browser clips: one command = one file; keep a command's work self-contained
+  (open what you need, close it, return). The Edge is stateless about your code
+  between calls.
+- Never embed credentials in the clip source — rely on the profile's logged-in
+  session (\`tab.cookie\` / \`tab.fetch\`). Published source is visible to installers.
+- Exec has a timeout (default 30s, caller-set up to 120s). Long scrapes should page,
+  not block.

 ## MCP clips (remote tool servers)
 
 A connection with target \`mcp\` routes to a remote MCP server; the command
-is an MCP tool name and the args are that tool's JSON arguments. Read each
-tool's \`inputSchema\` from \`clip tools\` first, then exec against the
-explicit target — the same form as any other clip:
+is an MCP tool name and the args are that tool's JSON arguments. **An MCP
+clip can hold SEVERAL connections — one per account of the same service**
+(e.g. two Google Drive accounts), exactly like the browser arm's multiple
+profiles. The flow is: discover the connections, pick by alias, exec with the
+explicit target:
 
 \`\`\`bash
+parall clip connections <clip>            # per-connection auth status, alias, is_default
+parall clip tools <clip> --connection <ccn_|alias>   # tools are PER CONNECTION
 parall clip exec <clip> <tool> [json-args] --connection <ccn_|alias>
 \`\`\`
 
+- \`clip connections\` marks MCP rows with their auth mode, \`credential_set\`
+  / \`oauth_status\` and \`tool_count\` — a \`needs_reauth\` or credential-less
+  row will refuse exec until an org admin fixes it in the Clip Console.
+- \`--connection\` is REQUIRED to exec an MCP connection, exactly like a cloud
+  profile — the only other target form, \`--edge\`, is a desktop device and
+  never routes to MCP. The alias tells you WHICH account you act as —
+  always name it.
+  (\`is_default\` marks the org's primary connection in listings and the
+  Console, not an implicit exec route.)
+- \`clip tools\` without \`--connection\` reads the default connection's
+  snapshot; with several connections and no default it asks you to name one.
 - No cold start: MCP clips never return \`EDGE_ACTIVATING\`.
 - \`MCP_TOOL_FAILED\` = the tool RAN and reported failure; a sanitized summary
   of its output rides in the error details. Read it and decide — do not
   blind-retry.
 - \`MCP_CONCURRENCY_LIMIT\` = not started; back off briefly, then retry.
-- \`MCP_CONFIG_MISSING\` / \`MCP_DISABLED\` = the clip isn't configured, or MCP
-  is off for this deployment — ask an org admin; retrying won't help.
+- \`MCP_CONFIG_MISSING\` / \`MCP_DISABLED\` = that connection isn't configured,

+  was disconnected — ask an org admin to re-authorize it in the Clip Console
+  (name the connection's alias); retrying won't help.
 - \`OUTCOME_UNKNOWN\` follows the rule below: dispatched and MAY HAVE
   EXECUTED — never auto-retry.
