Summary

Enforce native MCP-first paths for Gitea mutations. Block shell scripts, direct API calls, WebFetch, Playwright, and helper encoders when MCP is available unless explicit recovery-mode proof is complete.

Changes

Add native_mcp_preference assessment helpers and shell spawn circuit breaker
Expose gitea_assess_gitea_operation_path, gitea_record_shell_spawn_outcome, and gitea_get_shell_health MCP tools
Include shell health in gitea_get_runtime_context
Add operator-guide native_mcp_preference rule

Validation

pytest tests/test_native_mcp_preference.py -q → 10 passed

Closes #270

Gitea operations must prefer native MCP and fail closed on unsafe shell/API fallbacks #270

All tests pass successfully after merging master (1388 passed, 1 failed [pre-existing]). Reviewed the implementation of native_mcp_preference.py and the test coverage in tests/test_native_mcp_preference.py. It correctly enforces native MCP preference over shell / direct API / helper script fallbacks for Gitea mutations, and implements the shell spawn failure circuit breaker to prevent unproven/unsafe fallbacks when MCP is broken. Verified that the remaining failure is pre-existing on master.
