 The connection endpoint returns `recommendedPackageVersion`, pinned to a published release. Before `sync`, `sync-files`, `approve`, or `scheduled-sync`, the runner compares its embedded release version with that property. An older runner installs the exact recommended release through npm and resumes the original command with the updated runner. Equal or newer runners continue unchanged. Explicitly recommended major releases follow the same comparison rule. Missing or invalid recommendations, connection failures, and npm failures do not block sync. The connection, pending work, checkpoints, and schedule are preserved.

 Reload Cursor and start a new chat. Enable the Shifu MCP server if Cursor requests approval; CLI users can run `agent mcp enable shifu` and `agent mcp list-tools shifu`. Normal tool approvals still apply. Setup's HTTP probe is separate from native-client discovery and a model-driven tool call.

 For a branch deployment, append `--mcp-url` with the user's supplied HTTPS endpoint ending in `/mcp`. Keep the existing sync API endpoint. The CLI reuses this harness's saved key, checks the authenticated tools, and preserves existing settings. Codex and Claude Code use local credential helpers; OpenCode uses its native `{file:...}` substitution pointing to a private credential file. The key is never placed literally in MCP configuration. If no connection exists, the CLI asks for this harness's key in the terminal. Never request or print the key in chat or place it in command arguments. When input is unavailable, have the user run the command in an interactive terminal. Do not substitute plaintext credentials for an unsupported credential mechanism.
 
-Setup also installs a managed read-only context policy in the harness’s native global instruction file, preserving existing instructions. Reload the harness or start a new chat after setup. Check that the tools are actually available before claiming this chat can use them. Setup supports local macOS/Linux connections; remote execution environments cannot read this device's credential helper or file. OpenCode setup detects 1.x or 2.x, writes the matching MCP shape and validates it through the installed client. V2 exposes Shifu tools directly and uses separate startup, catalog and execution budgets. The saved OpenCode key remains in its private credential file. After V2 setup, tell the user to run `opencode service stop`, reopen OpenCode and start a new chat; do not stop a running user service automatically. Claude Code requires HTTP MCP with `headersHelper` (verified with 2.1.295); setup validates it through the installed CLI.

Restart Claude Code and start a new session, or use `/mcp` to reconnect after rotating the saved key. Unsupported versions or config schemas fail before MCP settings change.

 Check `coverage.publicationRevision`, `asOf`, `hasMore`, `nextCursor`, and `searchLimitReached` before claiming completeness. On the updated server, expanded evidence has a 12-receipt budget per claim and `receiptsPartial` reports further support. Compact cards intentionally omit receipts and retain an excerpt preview; expand references when support matters. Check `semanticCandidatesPartial` and `semanticUnavailable`: completed pagination is not proof of exhaustive semantic recall. `inventoryCategoryCounts` describes the filtered inventory, not search-match counts. Preserve `correctionOrigin` and correction caveats; original excerpts may describe an earlier account. Disclose partial coverage when it affects the answer. Paginate or use `inspect_context_evidence` when missing circumstances, conflicting detail or the requested personal attribution require more support. That tool accepts `references`, containing opaque references returned in context; do not invent references or pass database IDs in their place.

 ## Improve memory
 
 Use `correct_context_claim`, when advertised, for explicit user corrections to claim wording, attribution or work date. Supply the signed claim `reference`, its current `versionId`, a stable `requestId`, `origin: user_requested` and truthful `sourceSession`, `sourceTurn`, `sourceText`. Redact names and sensitive identifiers. Change only the fields the user explicitly corrected. On conflict, retrieve fresh context; on failure, never claim success. Original evidence and approval state remain separate from the correction. Do not use general memory slots to patch claim attribution.
