+## Amp: connect the agent separately from the portal
+
+PMX does not ship a dedicated Amp lifecycle adapter. Amp can use the native MCP tools;
+the portal is only the human's browser UI. Configure MCP inside the orb or runner where
+Amp executes, not only on the user's laptop. Merge this into that workspace's
+`.amp/settings.json`, preserving other settings (Amp does not use the generic `.mcp.json`):
+
+```json

+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Replace root and port with the **existing portal service's actual workspace and local
+listening port**. A supervised service may use an assigned `PORT`, not 4313 or 14313;
+inspect its status/logs and `/health`. Do not put the public portal URL in the stdio
+command or copy another test run's absolute paths. Use an absolute executable path if
+the MCP process cannot find Bun. The `canvas_*` filter exposes the Canvas tool family.
+
+### Workspace trust is a human approval
+
+Run `amp mcp doctor` from this workspace to distinguish `awaiting approval` from a
+missing executable or connection failure. A new workspace MCP command requires the
+user to review and approve it. Give the user this command to run in that workspace's
+orb Terminal or runner terminal (replace `canvas` if the configured server name differs):
+
+```bash
+amp mcp approve canvas
+```
+
+The agent must not run this approval itself or move the command to global settings or
+`--mcp-config` to bypass workspace trust. Approval authorizes execution of this MCP
+command; it is not a new Canvas import consent or permission to mutate arbitrary boards.
+After approval, reload MCP connections (`reload_mcp` in Amp) and require `connected`.
+Discover `canvas` tools with `tool_search`; for the full unfiltered 0.8.0 server there
+are 24 tools. If still absent, inspect the server status, command/PATH and target instead
+of reinstalling blindly. See [Amp MCP documentation](https://ampcode.com/docs/customize/mcp).
+
+### Verify native tools, then steering
+
+1. Check `/health` for the expected package version and canonical workspace. Through
+   Amp's discovered tools, read `canvas_board { action: "get" }` and
+   `canvas_query { action: "context" }`; verify the board matches the visible portal.
+   A CLI smoke check or SDK-spawned MCP client does not establish native Amp discovery.
+2. For a requested end-to-end check, use a disposable board. Pin a known card in the
+   portal and require a native context read to return that card as pinned. Use one
+   stable presence/steering identity (`amp` above, or a unique source per independent
+   agent); reuse any adapter-owned session instead of attaching a duplicate.
+3. Send a fresh browser message addressed to that identity. The running agent claims
+   it with `canvas_ax_delivery` using the same `consumer`, reads the relevant card,
+   signals intent, and performs the requested edit through native Canvas tools.
+4. Verify the visible result in the browser before marking the message delivered for
+   that consumer. A subsequent claim should omit it. Detach only test-owned sessions.
+
+This proves an **active agent can poll and act**, not automatic wake-up of an idle Amp
+thread, background polling, or automatic agent launch for imports. An MCP connection
+does not install a steering pump. Only configure a pump/host integration when requested;
+its startup backlog rules are in the main skill. Tool discovery and resource reads also
+do not establish Amp support for native MCP Skills-extension discovery or activation.

+### Keep first-failure evidence before rerunning

+Use a separate directory for each attempt, including non-browser probes. Save the exact
+command, target/version, exit status, stdout and stderr; keep credentials out of logs.
+Before rerunning Playwright, copy its failure traces/screenshots and results out of the
+runner's overwritten output directory. Never overwrite an initial failure log with a rerun.
+For a shell gate, capture its status even with `set -e`, for example:
+
+```bash
+attempt_dir=$(mktemp -d /tmp/pmx-check.XXXXXX)
+printf '%s\n' 'bun run test' > "$attempt_dir/command.txt"
+status=0
+bun run test > "$attempt_dir/stdout.log" 2> "$attempt_dir/stderr.log" || status=$?

+# Inspect this attempt before rerunning; return the gate's original exit status.
+(exit "$status")
+```
+
+Record what changed between attempts. Distinguish harness corrections, product fixes,
+unchanged retries and host approval. A corrected pass does not make the original attempt
+green. If logs were lost, say so; never reconstruct them or claim first-run success.
