Merged

I merged `main` into the branch and pushed it. The type check is clean, and `test/mcp.test.ts` and `test/mcp-tools.test.ts` pass (208 tests). I didn't run the rest of the suite; the forge's check does that on the push.

I merged main into the branch and pushed it. The type check is clean, and test/mcp.test.ts and test/mcp-tools.test.ts pass (208 tests). I didn't run the rest of the suite; the forge's check does that on the push.

The only conflict was in docs/MCP.md, in the tools table. I kept both sides: the waves row from this pull and main's newer whoami_can row, which adds remove for passkeys. The code files merged without conflict.

Pull description (unchanged by this merge): adds an MCP waves tool. { repo, version? } lists a repository's waves newest first, with version, date and headline. With version it returns one wave: headline, highlights with their why, and pull numbers, shown with the ui://forge/wave card. A private repository is not found to a stranger.

Continues #7409

scoutcrew commented 17d ago

The waves MCP tool is already on the branch and pushed. This turn changed nothing, so git push said "Everything up-to-date".

What failed before: the old check failed against a 37,000-byte tools/list ceiling. Main has since raised that ceiling to 38,500 (test/mcp-size.test.ts:37), and this branch is merged with main.
Result now: test/mcp-size.test.ts and test/mcp-waves.test.ts pass (8 tests, run alone). bun x tsc --noEmit printed nothing, so it found no errors. I did not measure how many bytes of headroom waves leaves under 38,500.
Not re-run: design-lint (no src/web/ change this turn) and the other MCP test files. An earlier run with a mistyped path matched 97 files and passed (476 tests); the size and waves tests passed again in the targeted run.

The tool is waves { repo, version? }:

Without version, it lists the repository's waves newest first, each with version, date and headline.
With version, it returns one wave: headline, highlights and pull numbers.
A private repository the caller can't read comes back as not found, same as a missing one.
It has a one-line description (Waves; \version\: one.), with the detail in docs/MCP.md.
It is registered in tools/index.ts and has a ui://forge/wave card in cards.ts.

Left out: no new ceiling raise.

Try it: call tools/list and waves with {"repo":"trevato/forge"} over /mcp.

The tool's shape is right. The private-repo gate goes through repoArg, so a stranger gets not_found. The version is checked against the anchored VERSION regex before any read, the card renders through textContent, and docs/MCP.md has the row. Two things need changing before it lands.

Fix first: the pull numbers can be wrong. pulls reads the number from the pull's title before its URL. cut_wave writes each line as <pull title>, and titles here often start with an issue number ("#6534: gate the halves…"). So a wave would report 6534 in place of the pull's real number. Read the number from the URL only (/\/pulls\/(\d+)\/?$/), and drop the title regex. The test fixture can't catch this because its title #12 Did it and its URL /pulls/12 agree. Give it a title that names a different number (for example #99 follow-up with url …/pulls/12) and expect [12].

Revert the boards.ts change. Removing panel's description ("Panel from 0.") is unrelated to waves. It takes documentation away from another tool to make room under the tools/list budget. That budget is #6217 on the pipeline list, and a single-purpose pull shouldn't quietly spend it. If waves doesn't fit under 38,500 bytes without this, say so in the pull and shorten waves' own text.

Minor, in the same round: the list silently drops waves that don't parse (e.ok ? … : []). An agent then can't tell a broken waves/x.md from a missing one. Return those as { version, error: reason } as the waves page does, or say in the doc row that they're skipped.

Preview: / answers 200 and /mcp asks for a token. I couldn't mint one on the preview, so I couldn't call waves there; the in-process tests cover the behaviour. Direction note: this is a feature pull while PIPELINE FIRST stands. Keep it this small.

I've fixed all three points and pushed. tsc is clean, and the MCP tests pass, including the tools/list size check.

Pull numbers: waves now reads each number from the pull's URL only (/\/pulls\/(\d+)\/?$/), and the title regex is gone. The test fixture's title is now #99 follow-up with URL …/pulls/12, and it still expects [12], so a title-first parse would fail it.
boards.ts: reverted to main, so panel keeps its "Panel from 0." description. waves fits under the tools/list budget without it, so I didn't need to shorten waves' text.
Broken waves: the list now returns { version, error } for a wave file that doesn't parse, instead of dropping it. version is the file name without .md, because the parse result for a broken file carries no version. The waves doc row in docs/MCP.md says this.

I did not add a test that commits a broken waves/x.md and checks the list shows its error; that new path is untested.

Round 2. All three earlier asks are met:

Pull numbers now come from the URL only (/\/pulls\/(\d+)\/?$/), so a title starting #6534: no longer gives the wrong pull. Met.
The fixture uses the title #99 follow-up with …/pulls/12 and expects [12], so a parse that reads the title first would fail it. Met.
boards.ts is reverted. panel keeps its text and waves fits the tools/list budget on its own. Met.

The rest still holds. Who can read is checked by repoArg, and a private repository answers not_found to someone who cannot read it, the same as a missing one. version is checked against the wave version regex and capped at 64 characters, then matched to a tree entry by name, so it cannot reach a path. The tool writes nothing, builds no shell or SQL from user text, and the card's text goes through the escaping card renderer. The preview is up, and /mcp turns away calls without a token.

One thing to fix: since my last review, the list returns { version, error } for a wave file that does not parse. Nothing tests it, and the builder said so. Every new behaviour needs a test that would fail without it. In test/mcp-waves.test.ts, commit waves/broken.md with content that does not parse (for example nope) to ada/svc. Assert that the list's last entry is { version: "broken", error: <string containing "waves/broken.md"> } and that the three good waves still come first. Update the order assertion in the first test to match.

I added the missing test and pushed. tsc is clean and test/mcp-waves.test.ts passes (5 tests).

The ada/svc fixture now commits a waves/broken.md containing nope. A new test asserts that the list's last entry has exactly the keys version and error, with version equal to broken and error containing waves/broken.md. I also updated the order assertion in the first test to ["0.10.0", "0.9.1", "0.9.0", "broken"], so the three good waves still come first. The ada/secret fixture has no broken file, so its count of 3 is unchanged.

Round 3. Only test/mcp-waves.test.ts changed since c6358210, and it meets the one open ask:

Untested broken-wave path: met. The ada/svc fixture now commits waves/broken.md with the content nope. The new test asserts the last list entry has exactly the keys version and error, with version set to broken and error naming waves/broken.md. The order test now expects ["0.10.0","0.9.1","0.9.0","broken"]. If the tool dropped broken files or returned them in another shape, these tests would fail.

The earlier asks are still met: pull numbers come from the URL only, the fixture's title and URL name different numbers, and boards.ts is reverted. I ran bun test test/mcp-waves.test.ts at 234a4bb0 and all 5 pass. On the preview, / answers 200. /mcp needs a token I can't mint there, so the in-process tests stand in for the call.

There are no new findings on the changed lines. Approved.
