+For a destructive tool with optional human-in-the-loop confirmation, see `obsidian-delete-note.tool.ts`. `src/index.ts` builds it with `buildDeleteNoteTool({ elicitation })` from `OBSIDIAN_DELETE_ELICITATION`, so the description states the active mode; the exported `obsidianDeleteNote` is the off build, kept as the specimen the definition linter and tests import. Both modes check write scope on the resolved path, then read the note before the DELETE. That read is the folder guard (`path_is_directory`), since the Local REST API's `DELETE` on a folder path removes the folder and everything in it. It is also the exact-case guard, so it goes through `note+json` (`getNoteJson`), never the raw-markdown read. On a case-insensitive filesystem the raw read and the plugin v4.x `DELETE` (`adapter.exists` + `adapter.remove`) case-fold, so a wrong-case path would read and then permanently remove the differently-cased note. `note+json` resolves through Obsidian's case-sensitive vault index on v4.x and v5.x, so a wrong-case path fails `note_missing` before any DELETE, with near matches listed in `suggestions` and never substituted. With the confirmation on, it redeems a single-use consent record from `ctx.state` (bound to the operation, the caller, the resolved path, and a SHA-256 of the note's content), suspends with `ctx.requestInput` for an embedded `elicitation/create` round when no matching record backs the answer, and branches on `ctx.inputs.view()` so a declined prompt on a matching round fails instead of re-asking. Only the confirming build declares `cancelled` in `errors[]`, since the off build never throws it. Both builds carry the `destructiveHint` annotation. Pattern: framework `api-context` § Consent gates.

-`sessionMode: 'stateful'` is the default, not a requirement: `obsidian_delete_note` confirms through `ctx.requestInput`, which a 2025-era HTTP client can only answer on a stateful session.

Don't switch it to `require: 'stateful'`.
+Unset, `MCP_SESSION_MODE` runs `stateful`. With `OBSIDIAN_DELETE_ELICITATION=true`, `sessionMode` declares a requirement, not just a default: `obsidian_delete_note` then confirms through `ctx.requestInput`, which a 2025-era HTTP client can only answer on a stateful session, so under stateless HTTP the tool would be unusable for those clients. In that mode, when the resolved HTTP mode is `stateless` (an explicit `MCP_SESSION_MODE=stateless`), startup fails with a `ConfigurationError` naming the conflict. With the confirmation off (the default), or with `OBSIDIAN_READ_ONLY=true` (which disables `obsidian_delete_note`, so no round can run), nothing needs a session and stateless HTTP starts. stdio is never refused — `MCP_SESSION_MODE` has no effect there. `tests/integration/delete-note-confirmation.test.ts` pins each case. The startup "Path policy" log line reports `deleteElicitation` as `deleteGateActive` — false under read-only, as `enableCommands` is.
+
+The delete confirmation's consent records (on mode only) live in `ctx.state`, backed by the framework storage provider (`STORAGE_PROVIDER_TYPE`, default `in-memory`, process-local). That holds for stdio and for a single stateful HTTP instance, where every round of a confirmation reaches the process that asked. A multi-instance deployment, where a retry can land on another instance, needs a shared provider — `filesystem`, `supabase`, or `cloudflare-d1`, never `cloudflare-kv` (eventually consistent, so a record may be unseen or outlive its redemption). Redemption is single-use against a sequential replay but not against concurrent retries until the framework has an atomic `ctx.state.take` (cyanheads/mcp-ts-core#593).
 
 `teardown` closes the undici `Agent` dispatcher `ObsidianService` holds for the Local REST API and Omnisearch, releasing its keep-alive sockets. It runs after the transport stops accepting requests, on every shutdown path.

+For a destructive tool with optional human-in-the-loop confirmation, see `obsidian-delete-note.tool.ts`. `src/index.ts` builds it with `buildDeleteNoteTool({ elicitation })` from `OBSIDIAN_DELETE_ELICITATION`, so the description states the active mode; the exported `obsidianDeleteNote` is the off build, kept as the specimen the definition linter and tests import. Both modes check write scope on the resolved path, then read the note before the DELETE. That read is the folder guard (`path_is_directory`), since the Local REST API's `DELETE` on a folder path removes the folder and everything in it. It is also the exact-case guard, so it goes through `note+json` (`getNoteJson`), never the raw-markdown read. On a case-insensitive filesystem the raw read and the plugin v4.x `DELETE` (`adapter.exists` + `adapter.remove`) case-fold, so a wrong-case path would read and then permanently remove the differently-cased note. `note+json` resolves through Obsidian's case-sensitive vault index on v4.x and v5.x, so a wrong-case path fails `note_missing` before any DELETE, with near matches listed in `suggestions` and never substituted. With the confirmation on, it redeems a single-use consent record from `ctx.state` (bound to the operation, the caller, the resolved path, and a SHA-256 of the note's content), suspends with `ctx.requestInput` for an embedded `elicitation/create` round when no matching record backs the answer, and branches on `ctx.inputs.view()` so a declined prompt on a matching round fails instead of re-asking. Only the confirming build declares `cancelled` in `errors[]`, since the off build never throws it. Both builds carry the `destructiveHint` annotation. Pattern: framework `api-context` § Consent gates.

Don't switch it to `require: 'stateful'`.
+Unset, `MCP_SESSION_MODE` runs `stateful`. With `OBSIDIAN_DELETE_ELICITATION=true`, `sessionMode` declares a requirement, not just a default: `obsidian_delete_note` then confirms through `ctx.requestInput`, which a 2025-era HTTP client can only answer on a stateful session, so under stateless HTTP the tool would be unusable for those clients. In that mode, when the resolved HTTP mode is `stateless` (an explicit `MCP_SESSION_MODE=stateless`), startup fails with a `ConfigurationError` naming the conflict. With the confirmation off (the default), or with `OBSIDIAN_READ_ONLY=true` (which disables `obsidian_delete_note`, so no round can run), nothing needs a session and stateless HTTP starts. stdio is never refused — `MCP_SESSION_MODE` has no effect there. `tests/integration/delete-note-confirmation.test.ts` pins each case. The startup "Path policy" log line reports `deleteElicitation` as `deleteGateActive` — false under read-only, as `enableCommands` is.
+
+The delete confirmation's consent records (on mode only) live in `ctx.state`, backed by the framework storage provider (`STORAGE_PROVIDER_TYPE`, default `in-memory`, process-local). That holds for stdio and for a single stateful HTTP instance, where every round of a confirmation reaches the process that asked. A multi-instance deployment, where a retry can land on another instance, needs a shared provider — `filesystem`, `supabase`, or `cloudflare-d1`, never `cloudflare-kv` (eventually consistent, so a record may be unseen or outlive its redemption). Redemption is single-use against a sequential replay but not against concurrent retries until the framework has an atomic `ctx.state.take` (cyanheads/mcp-ts-core#593).
 
 `teardown` closes the undici `Agent` dispatcher `ObsidianService` holds for the Local REST API and Omnisearch, releasing its keep-alive sockets. It runs after the transport stops accepting requests, on every shutdown path.
