sysadminandClaude Opus 4.8 3428fb4190 feat(mcp-health): inventory and guard MCP restart/reload/kill paths (#657)
Enumerate every code/script/host path that can restart, reload, reconnect,
kill, or force-recreate an MCP process, classify each, and link it to the
guard that constrains it.

- mcp_restart_paths.py: machine-readable registry (single source of truth)
  with classifications (sanctioned_narrow / guarded_fail_closed / forbidden /
  removed / host_residual) plus fail-closed guards:
  * assert_restart_attempt_registered() -- unknown restart attempts fail closed
  * assert_no_daemon_self_replacement() -- daemon never os.execv/os.kill/os._exit
    itself (source-tree scan; comment/docstring mentions ignored)
  * assert_auto_restart_helper_absent() -- keeps the #685-removed
    _trigger_mcp_auto_restart from returning
  * assert_registry_wellformed() -- every path classified, guarded, referenced
- docs/mcp-restart-path-inventory.md: complete inventory table linked from
  #655; documents residual host behaviors (/mcp reconnect) and rollout.
- tests/test_mcp_restart_paths.py: 17 tests -- registry well-formedness,
  unknown-attempt fail-closed, daemon-self-replacement scan (with injected
  violation + comment/docstring negative case), legacy-helper-removed
  regression, pkill-stays-contamination (#630), and doc/module lock-step.

No behavior change to existing modules; regression assertions codify invariants
that already hold (per #657 flag-free-before-hard-block rollout). Links
#652 #653 #655 #656.
