+# MCP restart classes and blast-radius permissions (#663)
+
+This is the machine-enforced class matrix used by
+`restart_coordinator.RESTART_CLASS_POLICIES`. It implements the narrower-first
+recovery ladder from #655 and the authorization policy from #656, using the
+path inventory from #657 and the impact coordinator from #658. Product and
+delivery lineage: vision #652 and roadmap #653.
+
+Unknown class names are denied. The coordinator requires both the class
+permission and an eligible request role. Approval gates are additional: a
+caller cannot turn a request permission into execution authority.
+
+| Restart class | Required permission | Expected blast radius | Drain requirement | Approval requirement | Audit requirement | Recovery behavior |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `client_reconnect` | `mcp.reconnect.client` | none | none | self service | class, actor, client namespace, reason, outcome | Reconnect only the caller's client transport. No daemon or peer work changes. |
+| `session_reconnect` | `mcp.reconnect.session` | low | requesting-session safe point | self service | class, actor, session, reason, outcome | Rebind identity, capability, and workspace state for one session. |
+| `worker_restart` | `mcp.restart.worker.request` | low | target worker | controller approval + automated gates | class, actor, worker, approval, scoped drain, outcome | Restart one worker after its own leases and mutations drain. |
+| `role_runtime_restart` | `mcp.restart.role_runtime.request` | medium | target role runtime | controller approval + automated gates | class, actor, role namespace, approval, scoped drain, outcome | Restart and re-probe one role runtime; unrelated roles remain available. |
+| `connector_restart` | `mcp.restart.connector.request` | medium | target connector | controller approval + automated gates | class, actor, connector, approval, scoped drain, outcome | Restart one connector while unrelated runtimes remain available. |
+| `configuration_reload` | `mcp.reload.configuration.request` | low | mutation quiesce | controller approval + automated gates | class, actor, configuration revision, approval, outcome | Gracefully reload configuration without replacing the daemon. |
+| `rolling_mcp_restart` | `mcp.restart.rolling.request` | medium | one instance at a time | controller approval + automated gates | class, actor, instance order, approval, per-instance drains, outcome | Drain, restart, verify, and restore each instance before advancing. |
+| `full_mcp_restart` | `mcp.restart.full.request` | high | all sessions and mutations | controller approval + automated gates | class, actor, full impact, approval, full drain proof, outcome | Replace the complete MCP runtime only after a verified full drain. |
+| `host_restart` | `mcp.restart.host.request` | high | all host work | controller approval + infrastructure operator | class, actor, host/change or incident id, approval, full drain proof, outcome | Hand off to infrastructure ownership and reconcile every runtime afterward. |
+
+## Drain boundary
+
+Only `full_mcp_restart` and `host_restart` set `full_drain_required=true`.
+Reconnects and configuration reloads do not disrupt peer sessions. Worker,
+role-runtime, and connector restarts evaluate only their explicitly named
+target. Rolling restart drains one instance at a time. Missing required target
+scope denies the request rather than silently widening it to a full restart.
+
+## Permission and approval boundary
+
+Author, reviewer, merger, and reconciler roles may self-request reconnects and
+request scoped worker/role/connector/reload recovery. They cannot request
+rolling, full, or host restart classes. Controller/operator/admin roles may
+request the broader classes, while execution remains operator/admin-owned.
+Controller approval is independently required for every class above a session
+reconnect. Host restart additionally requires infrastructure-operator proof.
+
+The MCP request tool derives class permissions from its authenticated runtime
+role. It does not accept caller-supplied permissions. Controller and operator
+authorization are read from the already-running daemon environment, never
+from a request argument.
+
+## Audit and failure behavior
+
+Every impact audit and every console restart/reload audit includes a
+`restart_class` field. The impact audit also includes the exact
+`required_permission`. Unknown classes, missing permissions, ineligible roles,
+missing approval, missing scoped targets, and incomplete inventory all deny
+fail closed. Manual process kills remain forbidden and contaminating (#630).

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] feat(webui): Runtime and session view (Phase 1) (Closes
 #641)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Compose runtime health with inventory sessions/namespaces/worktrees into a
live /sessions page and JSON API. Surface stale PID/lease flags and durable
contamination markers when detectable. Recovery links name sanctioned
reconnect/restart paths only — no kill controls.

+
+### Runtime and sessions (#641)
+
+`/sessions` is a live Phase 1 read-only view that composes:
+
+* runtime health from `#430` (profile, role, identity, master parity, stale warning)
+* control-plane sessions / leases and filesystem locks / worktrees / namespaces from `#636`
+* durable contamination markers when detectable (`#630` runtime recovery, `#671` stable-branch push)
+
+It surfaces stale indicators (dead PID, expired lease) and never silences an
+active contamination marker. Recovery links point only at sanctioned
+reconnect/operator restart docs (`docs/mcp-namespace-eof-recovery.md`,
+`docs/mcp-namespace-health.md`, `docs/mcp-restart-path-inventory.md`, this
+document). The page does **not** restart, kill, or take over sessions; manual
+`pkill` of MCP daemons is contamination, not recovery.

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] fix(webui): authority-aware ownership + redacted
 contamination text (#641)

Addresses the two blockers from the PR #898 review at a81db754.

B1 - degraded ownership inventory was rendered as affirmative absence.
_build_session_rows read the sessions/leases/locks sections without
consulting their status, so a session row emitted lease_ids=() and
worktree_paths=() whether the session genuinely held nothing or the
lease store simply could not be read. The renderer printed both as
"none" and "unbound", contradicting the ownership_authority_complete
invariant documented on InventorySnapshot.

SessionRow now carries lease_authority and worktree_authority. A
worktree binding is correlated through lease work numbers, so it is
unproven when either the leases or the locks section fails to read --
this covers the narrow variant where locks hold real worktree paths but
a degraded leases section leaves work_numbers empty. The renderer emits
"unknown (inventory <status>)" with an authority-unproven badge instead
of none/unbound, the card names the unreadable sections, and an empty
session list from an unreadable sessions section no longer reads as
"no sessions recorded". snapshot_to_dict exports
ownership_authority_complete, ownership_section_status, and per-row
lease_authority / worktree_authority so /api/sessions consumers can
distinguish the two cases.

B2 - contamination payload strings bypassed redaction.
_inspect_contamination copied command_summary, session_id, role and
reason_class out of the marker payload with only str(), while every
inventory-sourced field on the same page arrives through
webui.inventory.scrub(). The write-time redactor
stable_branch_push_guard.redact_command is a narrow denylist that leaves
absolute $HOME paths, -H 'X-Api-Key: <value>', --password <value>, and
PRIVATE_KEY=<value> intact, and this is the first web surface to render
command_summary at all.

Adds webui.inventory.scrub_text(), which collapses $HOME and redacts
credential-shaped tokens and URL userinfo anywhere inside a string rather
than only at its start, and routes the marker payload through it. scrub()
and every existing caller are untouched. The command_summary field is
kept: it is the #630 evidence naming which daemon was killed. The module
docstring claiming absolute paths were already collapsed is corrected.

Also: removes the locks_by_session_hint dead loop and its discard (N1),
adds the missing trailing newline to webui/runtime_views.py (N4), drops
an unused dataclasses.field import, and documents both honesty rules in
docs/webui-local-dev.md.

Tests: tests/test_webui_sessions_view.py grows from 12 to 26 cases,
covering degraded and unavailable ownership sections in both the HTML and
JSON paths, the locks-readable/leases-degraded variant, a guard against
over-correcting clean inventory into "unknown", the previously untested
expired-lease flag, HTML escaping of hostile values in clean and degraded
renders, and each secret class the write-time denylist misses. The
STATUS_UNAVAILABLE import that was present but unused is now exercised.

Validation, from the issue worktree with venv/bin/python (Python 3.14.5,
pytest 9.1.1):

  pytest tests/test_webui_sessions_view.py tests/test_webui_*.py -q
    -> 512 passed, 376 subtests (was 498 / 372; +14 new tests)
  pytest tests/test_issue_854_semantic_container_exclusion.py -q
    -> 13 passed, 8 subtests
  13-file runtime/health/inventory/restart set
    -> 1 failed, 223 passed; the single failure is
       test_runtime_clarity.py::TestRuntimeClarity::
       test_activate_profile_succeeds_when_enabled, the identical test and
       assertion the reviewer recorded on master at 7af40fb5, so it is
       baseline-equivalent and not introduced here.

+Honesty rules specific to this view:
+
+* **Ownership columns never assert absence they cannot prove.** When the
+  `leases` or `locks` section is degraded or unavailable, the Leases and
+  Worktree-binding cells render `unknown (inventory <status>)` with an
+  *authority unproven* badge instead of `none` / `unbound`, and a caveat names
+  the unreadable sections. A worktree binding is correlated through lease work
+  numbers, so it is unproven when *either* section fails to read.
+  `/api/sessions` carries the same facts as `ownership_authority_complete`,
+  `ownership_section_status`, and per-row `lease_authority` /
+  `worktree_authority`, so a JSON consumer can tell "holds none" from "could
+  not be read".
+* **Contamination text is redacted at the display boundary.** Marker payloads
+  (`command_summary`, `reason_class`, `session_id`, `role`) are
+  operator-supplied free text that does not arrive through inventory scrubbing,
+  so they pass through `webui.inventory.scrub_text`, which collapses `$HOME` and
+  redacts credential-shaped tokens and URL userinfo *anywhere* in the string.
+  The write-time redactor is a narrow denylist and is not relied on. The field
+  itself is kept — it is the `#630` evidence naming which daemon was killed.

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] fix(restart): require both authorizations for apply,
 correct coordinator doc
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Addresses the two blockers raised in the PR #886 review (comment 16559) for
issue #663.

B1 — apply_authorized ignored restart-class authorization.

The #663 restart-class matrix and the #661 drain-proof hard gate are
independent authorizations that first coexisted when PR #882 landed on
master and this branch merged it. The union preserved both, but the apply
decision consulted only the drain gate:

    payload["apply_authorized"] = gate.allow

so a clean drain proof — or an authorized break-glass, which needs no proof
at all — reported apply_authorized: True for a class the least-privilege
matrix had just denied, in the same payload carrying allow_restart: False
and "role 'author' may not request full_mcp_restart". One environment
variable therefore collapsed the whole nine-class matrix for the apply
decision, including host_restart.

The apply decision is now the conjunction of both authorizations, and
apply_gate carries drain_gate_allow and restart_class_authorized so a denial
is attributable to the authorization that produced it. Break-glass keeps its
purpose — bypassing the drain proof — and never bypasses the class matrix.
No existing fail-closed behaviour is weakened: allow_restart, drain-proof
verification, fingerprint binding, and requester authorization are untouched.

B2 — docs/mcp-restart-coordinator.md described pre-#661 behaviour.

The document still called the drain proof "a separate child" and omitted
drain_proof_json and request_break_glass from the published signature, so a
safety document asserted there was no gate where a gate now exists. It now
documents both parameters, states that the gate executes inside this tool,
and records dry-run versus apply behaviour, authorization ordering, the
break-glass scope, and fail-closed conditions as implemented.

Regression coverage.

tests/test_issue_886_apply_authorization_conjunction.py exercises the MCP
tool itself, which previously had no test at all — that absence is why the
defect shipped. It pins both conjunction directions, proves a clean proof
cannot override a role, approval, unknown-class, or missing-target denial,
proves break-glass does not collapse the matrix for any worker role or
restricted class, and proves the existing scoped and unscoped paths and the
#661 denials still hold. Against the pre-fix tree 24 of these fail; against
this commit all 19 pass with 45 subtests.

tests/test_mcp_restart_governance_docs.py now binds the published signature
to inspect.signature() of the real tool and forbids the stale pre-#661
phrasing, so the drift that produced B2 cannot return unnoticed.

Verification: targeted restart/drain/governance/webui suites 194 passed,
113 subtests. Full suite 23 failed, 5230 passed, 6 skipped, 912 subtests —
the failure set is identical to the reviewed baseline at 9bc021e
(23 failed, 5201 passed), with +29 passing from the added tests and no new
or changed failure. Zero conflict markers; py_compile passes; the #882
union remains intact in both directions.

+
+| Call | Behavior |
+|------|----------|
+| `dry_run=True` (default) | Read-only impact preview. No drain proof is required or consulted. |
+| `dry_run=False` | The #661 drain-proof hard gate runs **in this tool**. The outcome is reported under `apply_gate` / `apply_authorized`; a denial also returns a durable `incident` descriptor. Still no restart. |
+
+### Authorization ordering
+
+An apply requires **both** authorizations, and they are independent:
+
+1. **Restart-class authorization** (#663) — the requester's role and permissions
+   must allow the requested class, the class's approval requirement must be
+   satisfied, and any target-scoped class must name its target. Failing any of
+   these makes `allow_restart` `false`.
+2. **Drain-proof gate** (#661) — a valid, unexpired, clean proof bound to the
+   current impact fingerprint, or an authorized break-glass.
+
+`apply_authorized` is the conjunction: `gate.allow and allow_restart`. A clean
+drain proof therefore cannot override a class or requester-role denial, and a
+denied class never reports an authorized apply. `apply_gate` carries
+`drain_gate_allow` and `restart_class_authorized` so a denial is attributable to
+the authorization that produced it.
+
+### Break-glass
+
+Break-glass bypasses the **drain proof only** — never the restart-class matrix.
+It is honoured solely when `request_break_glass` is set *and* the environment
+carries `GITEA_BREAKGLASS_RESTART_AUTHORIZATION`; like operator override, the
+tool argument expresses caller intent and cannot be self-asserted by a worker
+session. `break_glass_requested` and `break_glass_authorized` are both reported,
+so a bypass is never silent.
+
+### Fail closed on apply
+
+A missing, malformed, expired, unclean, tampered, or fingerprint-stale drain
+proof denies the apply and returns an `incident` descriptor. An unknown restart
+class denies before any of this. Ambiguity always denies.
