# Bootstrap Review Path for Self-Hosted MCP Workflow Fixes (#557)
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
Gitea-Tools MCP workflow fixes can create a **bootstrap deadlock**: the live
|
||||
MCP daemons still run the broken code from `master`, so canonical reviewer /
|
||||
merger tools cannot complete the review that would land the fix.
|
||||
|
||||
This document defines a **narrow, controller-authorized bootstrap path** so
|
||||
such fixes can land without weakening normal review/merge gates.
|
||||
|
||||
It is **not** a general bypass. Normal PRs must still use the full
|
||||
reviewer → merger MCP workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## When this path applies
|
||||
|
||||
All of the following must be true:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The PR changes **Gitea-Tools MCP workflow / preflight / lease / gate** code
|
||||
that the live daemon must load to review itself (self-hosted control plane).
|
||||
2. Canonical review or merge tools **fail closed** because of that defect
|
||||
(documented tool errors, not “inconvenience”).
|
||||
3. A **controller** records an explicit bootstrap authorization on the PR or
|
||||
linked issue (see below).
|
||||
4. The PR source is clean, testable, and free of unrelated scope.
|
||||
|
||||
Example (historical): PR #553 / Issue #546 (reviewer preflight capability/lease
|
||||
deadlock). Live daemons on unpatched `master` could not complete canonical
|
||||
review of the fix PR.
|
||||
|
||||
## Durable authorization (required)
|
||||
|
||||
**No manual remote merge, force-merge, or API merge of a bootstrap PR is
|
||||
allowed** unless a controller has posted a durable authorization record on
|
||||
Gitea.
|
||||
|
||||
### Authorization record (issue or PR comment)
|
||||
|
||||
The controller comment **must** include a machine-readable marker and the
|
||||
fields below:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
## BOOTSTRAP REVIEW AUTHORIZATION (#557)
|
||||
|
||||
Status: APPROVED
|
||||
PR: <number>
|
||||
Issue: <number>
|
||||
Controller: <gitea username>
|
||||
Reason: live MCP runtime cannot canonically review this self-hosted workflow fix
|
||||
Scope: narrow bootstrap only — does not weaken normal PR gates
|
||||
|
||||
Validation evidence:
|
||||
- git diff --check: clean
|
||||
- targeted pytest: <command> → pass
|
||||
- full suite attribution (if non-zero): baseline compared to prgs/master
|
||||
|
||||
Duplicate-PR audit: <none | list and disposition>
|
||||
Mutation ledger audit: <summary or path to proof>
|
||||
Contamination audit: <clean | list contaminated comment/lease IDs and disposition>
|
||||
|
||||
Allowed verification actions used: <list>
|
||||
Forbidden actions NOT used: root checkout edits; raw curl mutation; direct
|
||||
module import of gitea_mcp_server for mutations; in-memory gate restoration
|
||||
|
||||
Post-land plan:
|
||||
- restart MCP daemons for author/reviewer/merger/reconciler profiles
|
||||
- re-verify with canonical tools (see Post-bootstrap steps)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Without this record, bootstrap merge is **forbidden**. Agents must stop with
|
||||
`BLOCKED + DIAGNOSE` rather than improvise a merge.
|
||||
|
||||
## Review gates and proof (still required)
|
||||
|
||||
Bootstrap does **not** skip technical review. It only allows verification and
|
||||
landing when the **live MCP mutation path** cannot complete the review.
|
||||
|
||||
Before authorization, the controller (or a delegated read-only verifier in an
|
||||
isolated worktree) must have:
|
||||
|
||||
| Gate | Requirement |
|
||||
|------|-------------|
|
||||
| Diff hygiene | `git diff --check` clean on the PR tip vs `prgs/master` |
|
||||
| Tests | Targeted tests for the fix pass; full suite either green or failures attributed to baseline `prgs/master` |
|
||||
| Duplicate PR | Open-PR inventory shows no competing open PR for the same issue (or supersession is documented) |
|
||||
| Mutation ledger | Any claimed mutations are ledger-consistent; no silent root edits |
|
||||
| Contamination audit | PR/issue comments and leases classified as clean vs workflow-contaminated |
|
||||
| Scope | Diff limited to the bootstrap issue; no drive-by refactors |
|
||||
|
||||
### Contamination audit (comments / leases)
|
||||
|
||||
Comments or leases created via **raw curl**, **direct Python import of MCP
|
||||
modules**, or **token extraction** are **workflow-contaminated**. They must be
|
||||
listed and must **not** be treated as canonical review proof.
|
||||
|
||||
Only comments posted via **sanctioned MCP reviewer tools** (after the fix is
|
||||
landed and daemons restarted, or during a clean path that did not bypass gates)
|
||||
count as canonical review state.
|
||||
|
||||
Historical example on PR #553:
|
||||
|
||||
| Comment | Disposition |
|
||||
|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| #7247 test / raw API | contaminated |
|
||||
| #7251 lease metadata / raw API | contaminated |
|
||||
| #7252 lease metadata / direct import | contaminated |
|
||||
| #7265 lease metadata / MCP reviewer tools | workflow-clean |
|
||||
|
||||
## Allowed verification actions
|
||||
|
||||
These may run **outside** the broken live mutation path to establish facts:
|
||||
|
||||
- Read-only MCP tools (`gitea_view_pr`, `gitea_list_prs`, `gitea_whoami`,
|
||||
`gitea_get_profile`, inventory, eligibility **reads**).
|
||||
- Isolated `branches/` worktree checkout of the PR head (never root).
|
||||
- `git fetch`, `git log`, `git diff`, `git merge-tree` (read-only analysis).
|
||||
- Targeted `pytest` / `py_compile` inside that worktree.
|
||||
- Controller posting of the bootstrap authorization comment via a healthy
|
||||
MCP profile **if available**; if comment mutation is also deadlocked, a
|
||||
**human operator** posts the authorization in the Gitea UI (still durable on
|
||||
the thread).
|
||||
|
||||
## Forbidden actions (always)
|
||||
|
||||
Even under bootstrap:
|
||||
|
||||
- Editing or committing in the **project root / control checkout**.
|
||||
- Treating root as a worktree for implementation or review mutations.
|
||||
- Raw `curl` / REST mutation with extracted tokens as a normal workflow.
|
||||
- `import gitea_mcp_server` (or sibling modules) from a shell to call mutation
|
||||
helpers and bypass preflight.
|
||||
- In-memory restoration of capability / lease / decision state to “finish”
|
||||
a blocked chain.
|
||||
- Force-push, history rewrite, or deleting evidence comments.
|
||||
- Weakening normal gates in code “temporarily” without a tracked issue/PR.
|
||||
- Self-review or self-merge by the PR author identity.
|
||||
|
||||
## Landing procedure (after APPROVED authorization)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Confirm the authorization record is present and complete on the PR or issue.
|
||||
2. Merge **only** with an independent merger identity when possible.
|
||||
- Preferred: restart/replace the MCP merger daemon with a build that includes
|
||||
the fix (or a one-shot process started from the PR worktree binary) so
|
||||
`gitea_merge_pr` can run under normal gates.
|
||||
- If the live merger daemon still cannot load the fix, a **human operator**
|
||||
may merge via the Gitea UI **only** after the authorization record exists.
|
||||
3. Never merge from contaminated proof alone.
|
||||
|
||||
## Post-bootstrap steps
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Restart MCP daemons
|
||||
|
||||
After the fix lands on `prgs/master`:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Stop author / reviewer / merger / reconciler MCP server processes for this
|
||||
repo (IDE MCP pool + any long-lived terminals).
|
||||
2. Confirm no stale PID still serves the old code.
|
||||
3. Restart each profile so it loads the updated `master` tree (or installed
|
||||
package path).
|
||||
4. Call `gitea_whoami` / `gitea_get_profile` on each namespace and record
|
||||
profile name + identity.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Re-verify with canonical tools
|
||||
|
||||
Example pattern after PR #553-class fixes (lease release / #550-style follow-up):
|
||||
|
||||
1. From a **reviewer** MCP session: acquire/release or inspect the relevant
|
||||
lease with canonical tools only.
|
||||
2. Confirm no direct-import or raw-API path is required.
|
||||
3. Post a short controller or reconciler note: bootstrap complete; normal gates
|
||||
restored.
|
||||
|
||||
If verification still requires a bypass, open a new issue — do **not** extend
|
||||
this bootstrap authorization silently.
|
||||
|
||||
## Explicit non-goals
|
||||
|
||||
- This path does **not** authorize skipping tests, duplicate audits, or
|
||||
contamination audits.
|
||||
- This path does **not** authorize root checkout implementation work.
|
||||
- This path does **not** replace BLOCKED + DIAGNOSE when a non-bootstrap
|
||||
failure occurs (#552).
|
||||
- This path does **not** grant permanent “operator exception” culture.
