Merge pull request 'feat(mcp-health): inventory and guard MCP restart/reload/kill paths (Closes #657)' (#870) from feat/issue-657-mcp-restart-path-inventory-guard into master

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.

+# MCP restart / reload / kill path inventory (#657)
+
+Complete inventory of every code, script, and host path that can **restart,
+reload, reconnect, kill, or force-recreate** an MCP process in this project,
+with each path classified and linked to the guard that constrains it.
+
+This document is the human-readable companion to the machine-readable registry
+in [`mcp_restart_paths.py`](../mcp_restart_paths.py). The two are kept in
+lock-step by [`tests/test_mcp_restart_paths.py`](../tests/test_mcp_restart_paths.py):
+every `path_id` below must appear in this file, and the source guards are run
+against the live tree.
+
+Roadmap linkage: this inventory is the enumeration step of the restart
+governance work — parent **#655**, restart-governance ADR **#656**, vision
+**#652**, roadmap **#653**. Related detection/guard work: master-advance
+staleness **#591**/**#420**, side-effect-free resolver **#685**, transport flap
+**#584**, manual-kill contamination **#630**.
+
+## Classifications
+
+| Classification | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `sanctioned_narrow_recovery` | One-shot, safe-by-construction recovery that never targets the running daemon. |
+| `guarded_fail_closed` | Detects a restart-requiring condition, then fails mutations closed and emits reconnect guidance. Never self-restarts. |
+| `forbidden` | A workflow-safety violation; where an LLM tool could invoke it, it is marked contamination. |
+| `removed` | A previously-existing unguarded restart primitive that has been deleted; a regression guard keeps it absent. |
+| `host_residual` | Behavior owned by the host/IDE, outside this process's control. Documented, not code-guarded here. |
+
+## The rule
+
+**No component may perform an unguarded full restart of the MCP daemon.** The
+in-process daemon (`gitea_mcp_server.py`, `mcp_server.py`,
+`role_session_router.py`) must never replace or terminate its own process:
+replacing the process after the host has wired up the stdio pipes desyncs the
+JSON-RPC transport (observed with Antigravity/Cascade hosts). Recovery is owned
+by the host/operator via a client reconnect — the daemon only ever *detects*
+and *fails closed*.
+
+## Inventory
+
+| path_id | Classification | Mechanism | Guard | Refs |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `cli_venv_bootstrap_execv` | sanctioned_narrow_recovery | CLI wrapper scripts re-exec into `venv/bin/python3` via `os.execv`, guarded by `sys.executable != venv_python`. | One-shot pre-import bootstrap; runs before any MCP transport exists and only when not already on the venv interpreter; idempotent guard prevents a re-exec loop. | #657 |
+| `daemon_self_replacement` | forbidden | The daemon replacing/terminating its own process (`os.execv`/`os.kill`/`os._exit`) to reload code. | Forbidden by design; enforced against the source tree by `assert_no_daemon_self_replacement()`. | #657, #584 |
+| `legacy_auto_restart_helper` | removed | A helper (`_trigger_mcp_auto_restart`) that actively restarted the server from the read-only resolver path. | Removed in #685; kept absent by `assert_auto_restart_helper_absent()`. | #685, #657 |
+| `config_touch_reload` | removed | Touching (utime) the MCP client config to make the host reload the server. | Removed from the resolver in #685: stale detection is report-only, never mutating config, spawning threads, or calling `os._exit`. | #685, #657 |
+| `master_advance_auto_restart` | guarded_fail_closed | On-disk master advancing past the running code. | `master_parity_gate` captures startup parity and blocks mutations while stale, emitting restart guidance; the process never self-restarts. | #420, #591, #657 |
+| `stale_runtime_resolver_reconnect` | guarded_fail_closed | The capability resolver detecting a stale serving process. | Report-only (#685): returns `restart_required`/`stop_required` and an exact reconnect action; no restart, thread, config touch, or `os._exit`. | #685, #657 |
+| `manual_daemon_kill` | forbidden | Shell kills of the daemon: `pkill -f mcp_server.py`, `killall`, broad `pkill -f python` sweeps, or `kill <pid>` of a daemon pid. | Forbidden (#630): `runtime_recovery_guard` classifies these as contamination and `gitea_record_daemon_process_kill_attempt` writes a durable marker that fails later mutations closed. Operator maintenance authorization is read only from the environment. | #630, #657 |
+| `conflict_marker_infra_stop` | guarded_fail_closed | The daemon entrypoint scans for unresolved merge-conflict markers at startup and stops (`sys.exit(1)`). | Fail-closed startup stop, not a restart: the process exits and waits for the operator to resolve conflicts and relaunch; never loops. | #657 |
+| `ide_client_reconnect` | host_residual | A manual `/mcp reconnect` (or equivalent host action) that recreates the MCP client connection. | Outside this process's control; the sanctioned recovery the gates point operators toward. No in-process code initiates it. | #584, #656, #657 |
+| `profile_switch_runtime` | sanctioned_narrow_recovery | Switching the active execution profile at runtime (dynamic-profile mode). | In-process and restart-free: `runtime_switching_supported` is true, so a switch rebinds capability without recreating the process. | #656, #657 |
+
+## Guards enforced in CI
+
+`tests/test_mcp_restart_paths.py` asserts, against the live source tree:
+
+1. **Registry well-formedness** — every path has a valid classification, a
+   non-empty guard description, references, and locations; ids are unique; all
+   five classifications are represented.
+2. **Unknown restart attempts fail closed** —
+   `assert_restart_attempt_registered()` raises `UnknownRestartPathError` for
+   any path id not in this inventory, so a novel/unnamed restart primitive
+   cannot slip through silently.
+3. **Daemon never self-replaces** — `assert_no_daemon_self_replacement()` scans
+   the daemon modules for `os.execv`/`os.kill`/`os._exit`/`os.abort` calls
+   (comment/docstring mentions are ignored) and finds none.
+4. **Legacy helper stays removed** — `assert_auto_restart_helper_absent()`
+   confirms `_trigger_mcp_auto_restart` has not returned.
+5. **pkill stays forbidden** — a daemon `pkill` command still classifies as
+   contamination via `runtime_recovery_guard`.
+
+## Residual host behaviors (outside process control)
+
+* `/mcp reconnect` in the IDE/host — the sanctioned recovery for stale-runtime,
+  transport-flap (#584), and worktree-binding conditions. The daemon can only
+  emit guidance toward it.
+* Host-level process management (the operator relaunching the daemon after a
+  fail-closed stop, or after resolving merge conflicts).
+
+These are documented rather than code-guarded because the process cannot
+observe or gate them from inside itself.
+
+## Rollout
+
+Per #657, guards are introduced flag-free as **regression assertions** (they
+codify invariants that already hold) before any hard runtime block is layered
+on. When the restart coordinator (#655/#656) lands, registered paths gain a
+coordinator token/capability check; unregistered attempts already fail closed
+today via `assert_restart_attempt_registered()`.

+"""Inventory and fail-closed guards for MCP restart/reload/kill paths (#657).
+
+Single source of truth enumerating every code/script/doc path that can
+restart, reload, reconnect, kill, or force-recreate an MCP process. Each path
+is classified and linked to the guard that constrains it. The companion
+human-readable inventory lives in ``docs/mcp-restart-path-inventory.md`` and is
+kept in lock-step with this module by ``tests/test_mcp_restart_paths.py``.
+
+Design intent (aligns with #655 restart-coordinator roadmap):
+
+* **No unguarded full restart.** The in-process MCP daemon
+  (``gitea_mcp_server.py`` / ``mcp_server.py`` / ``role_session_router.py``)
+  must never replace or kill its own process — replacing the process after the
+  host wired up the stdio pipes desyncs the JSON-RPC transport (observed with
+  Antigravity/Cascade hosts). ``assert_no_daemon_self_replacement`` enforces
+  this against the live source tree.
+* **No legacy auto-restart helper.** ``_trigger_mcp_auto_restart`` was removed
+  when the stale-runtime resolver became side-effect free (#685);
+  ``assert_auto_restart_helper_absent`` keeps it removed.
+* **Unknown restart attempts fail closed.** LLM tools must route any restart
+  intent through a *registered* path. ``assert_restart_attempt_registered``
+  raises ``UnknownRestartPathError`` for anything not in this inventory.
+* **pkill stays forbidden (#630).** Manual daemon kills are classified as
+  contamination by :mod:`runtime_recovery_guard`; this module records that path
+  and the test asserts the classification still holds.
+
+This module performs no restarts, spawns no threads, and touches no config or
+process state. It is pure inventory + read-only source assertions.
