- Distinguish client_namespace vs offline_spawn probe sources; only IDE
client probes prove namespace health and feed mutation gates.
- Record assessments in session; gate gitea_submit_pr_review and
gitea_merge_pr when client-namespace health is unhealthy/non-proven.
- Mark test_mcp_conn.py offline-only; align recovery docs to client
reconnect (no PID-kill/config-touch as canonical recovery).
- Rebase onto current master so #590 ledger isolation keeps
TestMergePR.test_unknown_profile_blocks green.
Adds docs/mcp-namespace-eof-recovery.md documenting the correct recovery
path when a Gitea MCP namespace (gitea-author/reviewer/merger/tools)
returns `client is closing: EOF`.
Satisfies acceptance criterion 7 of #543: symptom, root cause (closed
client transport vs a live-but-stale process), the sanctioned
reconnect/relaunch sequence, diagnostics to capture, and how
test_mcp_conn.py reproduces the registered-vs-callable gap. Distinguishes
this transport-close failure from the ps-based stale-runtime family in
#531/#544 and reinforces the no-direct-import guard (#558).
Docs-only; no code or test behavior changed.
