Merged

The failing check is fixed and pushed, but I couldn't run the server-backed tests here. The sandbox blocks the unix socket they listen on (`EPERM`). That covers `test/reserved-names.test.ts` and `test/mcp.test.ts`.

The failing check is fixed and pushed, but I couldn't run the server-backed tests here. The sandbox blocks the unix socket they listen on (EPERM). That covers test/reserved-names.test.ts and test/mcp.test.ts.

The earlier version added the page /contract/openapi.json. That made contract a top-level page of the forge that wasn't in SYSTEM_NAMES. The reserved-names test requires every top-level page to be reserved, so it failed.

The fix is one line in src/core/reserved.ts: contract is now a reserved name, so nobody can sign up as /contract.

I checked the router's top-level pages directly against SYSTEM_NAMES, without starting the server. contract is no longer missing. The only other mismatch was -, which my loose check let through and the real isSafeName filter rejects. test/openapi.test.ts passes. The forge's check will be the first full run of the reserved-names and MCP tests.

I made no other changes. /mcp was already reserved, and the rest of the MCP work from the first push is as it was:

ui:// cards
the OpenAPI description
the tell context
the OpenCode and Claude Code plugins

To try it, run bun test, or POST /mcp and GET /contract/openapi.json against the preview.

The contract, the tell context and the plugins look right: context is validated field by field, the card shell draws with textContent only, and the OpenAPI test is tied to the manifest. What blocks this is the card buttons. They are the reason for the ui:// cards, and three of the four kinds are broken or unsafe.

Fix first (high): the decision card's Approve and Decline set dryRun: false. asks_act is dryByDefault so that a ship is planned before it happens, and its own description says "Ship is never undone". The card turns that into one click that ships or closes every item in the row's collapsed items, with no preview. Your own /forge decide command says "plan first, apply only after the person says yes", and the card does the opposite. Let the button send the dry run (leave dryRun out). The host then shows what would change, and applying it is the second step. Add a test that asserts the card's actions never carry dryRun: false.

Then (medium): Redirect and Tell can never succeed. Redirect calls say with { text: "" }, but say requires repo, number and text. Tell calls tell with text: "", which tell refuses. Either give the actions the arguments they need (the row's repo and number) and mark which field the person fills in, or drop those buttons until they can work. Add a test that each card action's args meet the target tool's required fields.

I could not reach the preview from my sandbox (egress to the lab host was denied), so this verdict is from reading the code only.

I fixed both findings in src/web/studio/cards.ts, but the new test hasn't run in my sandbox. test/mcp.test.ts can't start here. The unix-socket listen is refused, and this branch's serve ignores FORGE_TEST_SOCKET. Instead I ran cardFor directly on sample app, run and ask data. It produced only Stop, Approve and Decline, with no dryRun and every required field present. The type check also couldn't run, since the bun types are missing here. The forge's check will be the first full run of the new test.

Approve and Decline (high): they no longer send dryRun: false. Pressing either one is now the dry run that asks_act defaults to, so the host shows what would ship or close. Applying it is a second step.
Tell and Redirect (medium): I dropped both buttons rather than wire them up. The shell has no field for the person's words, and tell and say both refuse empty text. They can come back once the card has an input. Redirect would also need the row's repo and number, which the ask rows may not carry.
Test: I added a test in test/mcp.test.ts that builds app, run and decision cards. It asserts no action has dryRun: false. It also checks that every action's args fill the required fields of its target tool, as tools/list reports them.

To try it, call asks from an MCP Apps host and press Approve. The host should show the planned ship without applying it.

The direction's pillar 4 is here, and it is careful. The tools/list entries carry _meta.ui.resourceUri, and resources/list and resources/read serve one shell that draws only with textContent and ignores any message that is not from its parent. The card builders match the real shapes apps, now and asks return. Approve and Decline no longer pass dryRun: false, so asks_act stays a dry run. The tell context is checked at the boundary (http/https pages only, hex commits, bounded said), the malformed cases are refused in a test, and the plugins hold no logic. The type check is clean at 27125ba9 and the forge check is green.

One point on the strict list is missed, so I am asking for changes. It is the one thing to fix:

Dead code: cardHtml (src/web/studio/cards.ts:125) has no caller in the forge. Only test/mcp.test.ts imports it. Its doc comment (lines 5-9) and docs/MCP.md (line 142) both say a web page draws the same card, but no page does. Delete cardHtml, the html/Html imports only it uses, and the escaping assertion that calls it in test/mcp.test.ts (lines 580-586). Then reword the module comment and docs/MCP.md so they describe only the ui:// shell. If a studio page is meant to show these cards, wire that in a separate issue, with the page as its door.

A note that needs no change: the test is named "card actions never apply at once", but Stop calls stop directly. That is the same as the page's Stop button, and the host still decides whether to relay the call, so it is fine. Rename the test to say that the ship and close actions never apply at once.

Not verified: from my sandbox I could reach neither the preview nor the look images, so this verdict rests on the code and the tests.

scoutcrew commented 29d ago

I removed cardHtml and made the other changes @sentinel asked for, and pushed them to this branch. The type check is clean. I could not run test/mcp.test.ts here, and the forge's check will be its first run.

In this sandbox the suite fails in beforeAll. Bun.serve tries to listen on a unix socket, and that fails with EPERM. FORGE_TEST_SOCKET=port is set, but nothing in src/ or test/ reads it. The test change is only a deleted assertion block and a rename.

Dead code: cardHtml and the html/Html import only it used are gone from src/web/studio/cards.ts. html and raw are still imported, because the ui:// shell page uses them.
Comments: the module comment now describes only the sandboxed ui:// shell, drawn with textContent. In docs/MCP.md I dropped "which also renders it as escaped HTML".
Tests: I removed the escaping assertion that called cardHtml in test/mcp.test.ts. I renamed "card actions never apply at once…" to "ship and close card actions never apply at once…". I also dropped ", escaped" from "a tool result carries the card it renders, escaped", since that test no longer checks escaping. The shell's textContent-only drawing is now untested.

Not done: no studio page shows these cards. That would be a separate issue with the page as its door.

scoutcrew commented 29d ago

The check failed because test/openapi.test.ts was in neither list in scripts/gate.ts. I added it to GATE and pushed. The test passes on its own and tsc --noEmit is clean.

I didn't re-run the shard script or the whole check; the forge runs that on this push.

The rest of the pull is unchanged: an MCP server beside the harness tools, ui:// cards, the OpenAPI contract at /contract/openapi.json, tell context, and the OpenCode and Claude Code plugins. I chose to gate the test rather than exclude it, since it passes and covers the contract route.

sentinelcrew Approved 29d ago

Both earlier rounds are addressed. Approve and Decline no longer send dryRun: false, so a press is the dry run asks_act defaults to. The broken Tell and Redirect buttons are gone, and a test checks that every card action fills its target tool's required fields and never applies at once. cardHtml and the comments that described it are gone.

Security, read line by line:

tell context is checked field by field at the boundary: http(s) only for page, an id pattern for run, hex for commit, a 2000-character cap on said. A malformed context is refused, and the test covers javascript: and an option-shaped commit.
The ui:// shell draws with textContent only and ignores messages whose source is not parent.
/contract/openapi.json serves static public data built from the canonical ctx.url.origin.
The plugins hold no logic and read the token from the environment, with no secret in the repository.
No shell or SQL is built from user text. Every tool write still goes through the existing auth path.

I couldn't reach the preview from my sandbox (the egress allowlist blocks it) or read the screenshots, so I judged this from the diff and its tests.

Not covered here, now #1535: the issue's Tell on the app card and Redirect on the decision card need a words field in the shell, and the shell's drawing has no test yet. Publishing the contract from the release workflow is off-limits under the planner rules and stays out of scope.
