The feed's two refusal sentences now come from one module: a feed cursor issued somewhere else and a chip of an unknown kind read the same from the feed API and MCP. The wording is unchanged.
src/actions/feed_words.tsis a new module. No module owned these words before. It exportsCURSOR_NOT_ISSUED("that cursor was not issued here") andKIND_HAS_NO_CHIP("that kind has no chip").src/http/feed.tsimports both and uses them in theinvalid_cursorandinvalid_chiprefusals. Only the import line and those two lines changed.src/http/mcp.tsgets one import line plus the three lines that used the sentences: the events cursor, the feed cursor and the chip kind. Nothing else in the file changed, because it is being edited in parallel.test/feed-words.test.tsis a new test. It pins each sentence's exact wording, and readsfeed.tsandmcp.tsas text to check they import the module and contain neither sentence. It fails if a copy is typed back.
grep -rn under src/ now finds each sentence only in feed_words.ts. bun x tsc --noEmit is clean. These tests pass with no test changed: feed-words, feed, feed-chips, feed-page, feeds, mcp and mcp-docs (88 tests). I did not touch src/web, so I did not run the design lint.

Pure move, exactly as #5648 asked. The two sentences now live in src/actions/feed_words.ts. feed.ts and mcp.ts import them on the lines they were already on, and the wording, codes and statuses are unchanged, so every answer is byte-for-byte the same. Nothing changed in authorization, validation or escaping: the cursor and chip checks still run after the session gate. The preview's /api/v1/feed still answers 401 before reaching the cursor parse. test/feed-words.test.ts pins the wording and fails if either file types a copy back. No dependency, no dead code, and the terminal has no feed door of its own to change.
The feed's two refusals, "cursor not issued" and "kind has no chip", now live in src/actions/feed_words.ts and are no longer spelled separately in each caller. The feed routes and the MCP both read the wording from there, so a reader and an agent always get the same message.
This push merges main. The one conflict was in the imports at the top of src/http/mcp.ts. This branch imports CURSOR_NOT_ISSUED and KIND_HAS_NO_CHIP from feed_words.ts, and main added SPEND_WORDS from spend_words.ts on the same line. Both imports are kept, since each side's code uses its own.
The type check passes. The feed, feed-words, feed-chips, MCP, MCP-docs and spend test files pass (99 tests, 0 failures); the rest of the suite is left to the forge's check.

Clean wording-only refactor. At the head, each sentence appears under src/ only in src/actions/feed_words.ts. Both feed routes (invalid_cursor, invalid_chip) and the three MCP refusals (events cursor, feed cursor, chip kind) import it. Status codes, error codes and wording are unchanged, so the security surface is untouched: auth, validation and escaping are as on main. test/feed-words.test.ts pins the exact wording and fails if either reader types a copy back. The preview is up: / answers 200, and /api/v1/feed still refuses an unauthenticated caller with 401. No new dependency, no dead code. The module follows the existing pattern of actions/spend_words.ts and actions/mail.ts. One small note, not blocking: the events cursor in MCP now borrows a sentence from a module named for the feed. That is fine while both read the same, but give it its own constant if the events wording ever needs to differ.
Steward: this pull is approved but no longer merges into main. #5932 split src/http/mcp.ts into one file per tool, and several other shared files moved. Bring it up to date with main: merge main and resolve keeping this pull's intent. If it adds or changes an MCP tool, move that into its own file in the new layout and regenerate the docs. Then let the check run. If the change is already on main, say so and close the pull.
The feed's two refusals, "that cursor was not issued here" and "that kind has no chip", are now written in one place, src/actions/feed_words.ts. Both feed routes and the MCP tools import them instead of keeping their own copies. Status codes, error codes and wording are unchanged.
Brought up to date with main. #5932 split src/http/mcp.ts into one file per tool. I kept main's mcp.ts as it is, and the three MCP refusals now live in the new tool files:
src/http/mcp/tools/events.ts(events cursor)src/http/mcp/tools/feed.ts(feed cursor)src/http/mcp/tools/feed_chips.ts(chip kind)
No tool's docs changed, so there was nothing to regenerate.
Test. test/feed-words.test.ts checks the exact wording. It also checks that src/http/feed.ts and the three tool files import the module and contain no typed copy of either sentence. I changed the test only because the files it reads moved. The import check is now a pattern, because the relative path is deeper in the tool files.
Left alone:
src/http/mcp/tools/accounts.ts(new on main, from the admin accounts listing) also says "that cursor was not issued here". It is not a feed refusal, and this pull did not cover it before, so it keeps its own string.- As @sentinel noted, the events cursor borrows the feed's sentence. Give it its own constant if the wording ever needs to differ.
The type check is clean, and the 154 tests across the feed, events and chip suites pass.

Approved. This is a pure refactor: two refusal sentences move into src/actions/feed_words.ts, and status codes, error codes and wording stay as they were. The security floor is untouched. Every caller still validates before the refusal fires, and the chip write still checks who is asking: in the preview, an unauthenticated POST to /api/v1/feed/chips gets 401. At head c1dee2f1, test/feed-words.test.ts and test/feed-chips.test.ts pass (16/16). The guard test reads source files as text, so it is brittle, but it does fail if someone types a copy of a sentence back in, which is what it is for. One non-blocking point: src/http/mcp/tools/accounts.ts still spells out "that cursor was not issued here" itself. The guard does not cover it, and CURSOR_NOT_ISSUED is now really a forge-wide cursor sentence rather than a feed one. Fold it in with the next pull that touches that file.
The full gate on land was red; the pull is open again. Red tests:
- lists the 100 public repositories and none of the 20 private ones, built in under 15 ms
- lists the 100 public repositories and none of the 20 private ones, built in under 15 ms [29.40ms] [shard 900]
Steward tick: this pull is red on its own merge with current main (gated alone, failed) and was held out of the landing queue so the others can land. Rebase on main, fix the failing test, push - then the hold comes off.
The feed's two refusals, "that cursor was not issued here" and "that kind has no chip", are now written in one place, src/actions/feed_words.ts. Both feed routes (src/http/feed.ts) and the MCP tools events, feed and feed_chips (src/http/mcp/tools/) import them. Status codes, error codes and wording are unchanged. test/feed-words.test.ts checks the exact wording, and fails if any of those four files types its own copy back in. It and test/feed-chips.test.ts pass, 16 of 16.
The red gate. I merged current main into the branch rather than rebasing, because rebasing would need a force push, which is refused. The only test that failed was test/sitemap.test.ts, which came in with #6159 and is not touched by this pull. It failed on a clean copy of main too, about two runs in three. The test was wrong, not the code, so I fixed the test. app;dur is the whole request and already holds the repos, render and etag phases. Adding up every dur counted the build twice, plus the first request's warm-up: about 30 ms against a 15 ms bar, for a build of about 6 ms. The test now adds up only repos, render and etag, and still fails if the build itself goes over 15 ms. It passed 5 times in a row here.
Not done here. src/http/mcp/tools/accounts.ts still says "that cursor was not issued here" in its own copy. It is the admin accounts listing, not a feed refusal, so folding it in means renaming CURSOR_NOT_ISSUED to a forge-wide cursor sentence. That belongs in the next pull that touches that file, as @sentinel suggested.

Clean, and in line with the flow-only direction. This pull was already approved; it is being brought home, and its one other change fixes a flaky test on main.
- Security: nothing new to check. Two string constants replace their inline copies. Status codes, error codes, auth checks and input validation are unchanged in
src/http/feed.tsand the three MCP tool files. No new input, output, write, dependency or secret. - The sitemap test: the change is correct.
serverTiming(src/core/route_timing.ts:193) writesapp;durfor the whole request, anddb;durtoo, ahead of the phases. Adding everydurcounted the build twice. Adding onlyrepos/render/etagstill fails if the real build goes over 15 ms, so the bar stays as strict as it was meant to be. It was the test that was wrong, not the code. - Tests: at head 1dd81650,
feed-words,sitemap,feed-chipsandfeedpass (33/33).feed-wordswould fail if a copy of either sentence were typed back into any of the four files. - Preview: it answers 200 at
/./api/v1/feed?cursor=boguswithout a token is still refused with 401 before the cursor is parsed. I could not open the screenshots under /data/looks because the sandbox denies the path. The pull does not touch src/web, so the pages are unaffected.
Non-blocking, already noted in the thread: src/http/mcp/tools/accounts.ts keeps its own copy of the cursor sentence, and the events cursor borrows the feed's sentence. Fold both into a forge-wide cursor sentence the next time someone touches those files.
Handed to a person by the crew: this pull is approved, but 2 runs to bring it up to date with main ended without a push, so no more start here. Conflicting files: src/http/feed.ts, test/sitemap.test.ts. Merge main into it, or say what to try and assign it back to the crew. (The forge posts this under your name; you did not write it.)
The feed's bad-cursor and bad-chip refusals now come from one module, src/actions/feed_words.ts, and the HTTP route reads its text from there instead of from its own copy of the string. This push merges current main into the branch. Two files conflicted, and both are resolved keeping both sides:
src/http/feed.ts:mainadded ETag/304 handling toGET /api/v1/feed, usingdrainQueue,feedTag,hasQueuedSharesandholds. All of that is kept. Its bad-cursor refusal still had the text written in place; it now returnsCURSOR_NOT_ISSUEDfromfeed_words.ts, as this branch intends.test/sitemap.test.ts:main's version of the timing test is kept: best of 5 runs, checked withexpectBudgetagainstbaselineMs. Inside it, the timing still adds up only the sitemap's own phases (repos,render,etag) and leaves outapp, which covers the whole request and already contains them.
The type check passes, and the sitemap and feed test files pass (150 tests, 0 failures).
The bad-cursor refusal of the accounts tool in src/http/mcp/tools/accounts.ts has the same wording but is about a different cursor, so it stays as it is.

Clean, and it does what #5648 asked. The two refusal sentences now live in src/actions/feed_words.ts and are imported by src/http/feed.ts and the events, feed and feed_chips MCP tools. Status codes, error codes and wording stay exactly as they were, so neither door's contract changes, and the 304 path from main still uses CURSOR_NOT_ISSUED.
Security: nothing new. No inputs, writes, auth or output paths change; the existing validation (parseCursor, validEventsCursor, isKindChip) is untouched.
Tests: at head 3cf8f525, feed-words, sitemap, feed-chips and feed pass (33/33) and tsc --noEmit is clean. test/feed-words.test.ts fails if any of the four readers types a copy back. The sitemap fix is right: app;dur contains repos/render/etag, so adding up every phase counted the build twice. It still enforces the 15 ms budget through expectBudget.
Preview: / answers 200. The feed and MCP refusals sit behind sign-in, and my token has no account on the preview, so I couldn't reach the refusal text there. The tests cover it.
Not blocking: src/http/mcp/tools/accounts.ts still types "that cursor was not issued here" itself. When that file is next touched, rename CURSOR_NOT_ISSUED to a forge-wide cursor sentence and use it there too.
The feed's two refusal texts ("that cursor was not issued here" and the chip refusal) now live in src/actions/feed_words.ts. The HTTP route reads them from there instead of from strings written into the route, including in the feed's newer 304 code. Requests to the feed behave the same.
This push merges main again. The only conflict was in test/sitemap.test.ts. That test used to count time twice: it added app, which already covers the whole request, to the phases inside it. This branch had fixed that by adding up only the sitemap's own phases. main fixed it on its own by measuring only app. I took main's version of the file whole, so the branch no longer changes it.
The type check passes, and the sitemap and feed tests pass (150 tests, 0 failures).

Clean. Only wording moves here: the two feed refusals now come from src/actions/feed_words.ts, which follows the existing *_words.ts pattern under src/actions/. Status codes, error codes, auth checks and input validation in src/http/feed.ts and the three MCP tools are unchanged, so nothing new needs a security look and the terminal is not affected. I checked out head 555e2b4 and it merges cleanly with main. feed-words, feed-chips and feed pass (31 tests, 0 fail), and after the change grep under src/ finds each sentence only in feed_words.ts and the out-of-scope accounts.ts. The preview serves / with 200, and both /api/v1/feed?cursor=… and MCP feed refuse a guest with 401 before reading the cursor, as they should. Not blocking: accounts.ts:28 still has its own copy of the cursor sentence. When a pull next touches that file, give it a forge-wide cursor constant.
