Closes #708

Problem this fixes

An earlier slice on this branch added assess_connected_namespace_attachment() to mcp_namespace_health.py as a pure decision function with no call site. Nothing invoked it. A session whose role namespaces were Connected at the host but absent from the active session tool surface still passed every mutation gate, so the detection existed on paper only and no workflow failed closed.

This PR makes it load-bearing and completes the live acceptance criteria.

Acceptance criteria

AC1 — distinct detection. Connected-but-unattached is typed mcp_connected_namespaces_missing, carries per-namespace proof_of_connected_vs_attached ({connected, attached}), and stays separate from config drift (#672), transport-closed (#584) and resolver EOF (#685). A required namespace that is not connected at all is typed separately as mcp_required_namespaces_not_connected — see "Review 637 remediation" below.

AC2 — automatic attachment or sanctioned recovery. auto_attach_attempted / auto_attach_succeeded produce auto_recovered when the runtime attaches without an operator. Otherwise reconnect_required is set and exact_next_action offers only the client reconnect path, naming gitea_request_mcp_reconnect (#678). The verdict is recorded in the session, and gitea_submit_pr_review / gitea_merge_pr fail closed while a required namespace lacks attachment proof.

AC3 — canonical guidance. docs/mcp-namespace-health.md and skills/llm-project-workflow/SKILL.md state that Connected is not attached, and that preflight proof is live tool visibility plus gitea_whoami on the role namespace rather than host status alone.

AC4 — regression coverage. No healthy verdict is produced without attachment proof for every required namespace, under either failure condition.

AC5 — telemetry. A telemetry block reports connected/attached/required/missing/not-connected/contradictory counts, discovery cache hit and age, reconnect_required, auto_attach_attempted, auto_recovered, startup_ordering_race, error_type and error_types — namespace names and counts only, asserted secret-free by test.

AC6 — no unsafe fallback. Error text and the gate carry the hard-stop policy. Recovery never routes through direct imports, CLI or raw API mutation, profile hopping, session-state overrides, or process kills.

Changes

mcp_namespace_health.py — telemetry and startup-ordering detection; ATTACHMENT_GATED_TASKS; required_namespace_for_attachment(); attachment_gate_from_session(), a fail-closed gate that mirrors #543 semantics so an unassessed namespace never fabricates a block; SANCTIONED_ATTACH_RECOVERY_TOOL; and the two-condition classification described below.

gitea_mcp_server.py — new tool gitea_assess_mcp_namespace_attachment; session store _LIVE_NAMESPACE_ATTACHMENT with _record_live_namespace_attachment(); _namespace_attachment_gate() consulted by gitea_submit_pr_review and gitea_merge_pr beside the existing #543 health gate.

Docs — tool arguments, startup ordering, gate and telemetry contract; new tool added to docs/mcp-tool-inventory.md.

docs/remote-mcp/threat-model* — #956 anchors re-derived and restamped for the line shift these additions caused in gitea_mcp_server.py.

Review 637 remediation

B1 — threat-model metadata regression (fixed in 58bd8521)

Commit 126d76a set the anchors fixture generated_against_commit to e3fa3b26 and left docs/remote-mcp/threat-model.md:8 citing a143cd06, so tests/test_issue_956_threat_model.py::ThreatModelStructureTests::test_records_the_commit_it_was_generated_against failed deterministically from that commit onward.

The mismatch was substantive, not cosmetic. Resolving all 58 anchors against each candidate revision:

Revision	Anchors unresolved
e3fa3b26	0 / 58
ca5f078d (B2 commit)	0 / 58
58bd8521 (this head)	0 / 58
a143cd06	21 / 58

The document's own claim about where its file:line citations resolve was therefore false; the fixture held the accurate value. The B2 commit then inserted a net 16 lines into gitea_mcp_server.py at a single point, shifting 21 anchors below it. All 21 were re-derived by that one uniform offset and each verified against its recorded expect substring — none guessed, none ambiguous. Both artifacts now name ca5f078d, the commit the anchors were taken at, the document's inline citations are shifted to match, and the boundary table's "what the code actually enforces at" claim is restamped onto the same revision because it describes that same tree.

Generation contract verified: 58/58 anchors resolve at the declared generation commit, 58/58 at this head, no two anchors share a (file, line) location, and fixture and document metadata agree.

B2 — false-healthy verdict for a namespace that never connected (fixed in ca5f078d)

missing_namespaces was populated only while walking connected_servers, so a required namespace absent from that inventory was never counted. The reviewer's reproduction returned attachment_healthy: true, discovery_status: namespaces_attached, error_type: None with no attachment proof, and the gate text claimed "the host reports Connected" about a service nothing had reported Connected.

The two conditions are now classified apart:

• missing_namespaces keeps its meaning — required, Connected at the host, absent from the session tool surface. This is the actual #708 condition and stays typed mcp_connected_namespaces_missing.
• not_connected_namespaces is new — required, absent from the connected-service inventory. Typed mcp_required_namespaces_not_connected, so a caller is never pointed at an attachment recovery for a service that never connected, and #708 is not collapsed into #672 or #584.
• attachment_healthy is false whenever any required namespace lacks attachment proof under either condition.
• error_types lists every condition present so neither hides the other; error_type names the primary one.
• namespace_conditions carries the per-namespace connected / attached / condition verdict, and _record_live_namespace_attachment consumes it instead of pinning the session-wide error_type onto every unattached namespace.
• Contradictory evidence — attached in the session yet absent from the connected inventory — is reported as such and fails closed rather than being read as proof.
• attachment_gate_from_session states only what the evidence supports: the Connected wording appears solely when connected is true, the not-connected wording when it is false, and a neutral refusal when connected status was never recorded. Review and merge stay fail-closed in all three cases.

The reviewer's exact reproduction, run against this head:

assess_connected_namespace_attachment(
    connected_servers=["gitea-reviewer"],
    attached_session_namespaces=["gitea-reviewer"],
    required_namespaces=["gitea-reviewer", "gitea-merger"])

attachment_healthy            False
discovery_status              required_namespaces_not_connected
missing_namespaces            []
not_connected_namespaces      ['gitea-merger']
error_type                    mcp_required_namespaces_not_connected
telemetry.not_connected_count 1

merge gate: live MCP namespace 'gitea-merger' is recorded
mcp_required_namespaces_not_connected: it is absent from the connected-service
inventory, so it is neither connected nor attached and no Connected status is
claimed for it; connect the required MCP server, then reconnect the IDE/client
MCP session and re-run preflight before merge_pr (fail closed, #708)

Two pre-existing cases in tests/test_issue_708_mcp_namespace_attachment.py declared no required_namespaces and so inherited a default set containing a namespace their connected_servers list omitted. Under the corrected rule that is a false-healthy assertion, so each now declares the required set it actually means. This is called out explicitly because it is a change to existing test expectations, not only an addition.

Tests added

tests/test_issue_708_not_connected_classification.py — 22 cases covering required-connected-and-attached, connected-but-unattached, not-connected-and-not-attached, mixed required namespaces where one is connected/attached and one is not connected, both conditions present at once, unknown / partial / malformed / contradictory evidence, review and merge behaviour for both failure categories, a store entry with no connected evidence, cross-session isolation, and secret-free telemetry.

Verification

Every figure below was produced during this remediation run. The two full-suite runs were executed serially.

Scope	Result
tests/test_issue_708_not_connected_classification.py (new)	22 passed
all three focused #708 files	46 passed
namespace / session / discoverability / reconnect / registration sweep	128 passed, 12 subtests
review / merge fail-closed + runtime-gate sweep	187 passed, 20 subtests
production tool-registration + inventory	99 passed, 1 failed (pre-existing at base)
tests/test_issue_956_threat_model.py	17 passed
full suite, this head 58bd8521	30 failed, 5908 passed, 6 skipped, 1047 subtests
full suite, pinned base 17ba1ff035ee	30 failed, 5862 passed, 6 skipped, 1047 subtests

Failing identifiers were compared directly, not counts. The two sets are identical: 0 failing only at head, 0 failing only at base — no head-only failure requires classification. The B1 regression tests/test_issue_956_threat_model.py::ThreatModelStructureTests::test_records_the_commit_it_was_generated_against is absent from the head set.

The single failure in the tool-registration scope is tests/test_issue_781_edit_issue_tool.py::TestDocumentationMatchesRegistry::test_documented_inventory_equals_registered_tools, which reports gitea_rebind_dirty_same_claimant_author_session, gitea_reconcile_after_restart and gitea_recover_dirty_orphaned_issue_worktree as registered-but-undocumented. It fails identically at the unmodified base, is unrelated to this branch, and appears in both full-suite failing sets.

Correction to the earlier verification record. The previous description claimed tests/test_issue_956_threat_model.py passed 17/17 at 126d76ad. That was false — the suite was red at that head, exactly as review 637 found. It passes 17/17 at this head. The previous description also claimed tests/test_mirror_refs.py::TestDryRunBanner::test_dry_run_banner_shown_by_default fails on the unmodified base in isolation. That claim is withdrawn and is not repeated: the test appears in neither full-suite failing set in this run, and no evidence for it was reproduced here.

Test-harness note: concurrent full suites are not trustworthy here

An earlier attempt ran the head and base full suites concurrently and produced head 40 failed / 5898 passed against base 31 failed / 5861 passed, with the head run finishing in 178s against the base run's 512s. Those figures were discarded and both suites re-run serially, which is where the table above comes from.

The cause is shared mutable state rather than anything in this branch. Two suites running at once contend over the same pinned session-state directory (GITEA_MCP_SESSION_STATE_DIR, default ~/.cache/gitea-tools/session-state) and the same control-plane SQLite database, both of which live outside the worktree and are therefore not isolated by running each suite from its own branches/ checkout. Lock, lease, session and decision records written by one run are visible to the other, so failures appear that neither branch causes.

This is recorded here as follow-up issue material only — no fix is attempted in this PR and no test-harness file is touched. A future issue should give the suite a per-run session-state directory and control-plane database so concurrent runs are isolated, or make the harness refuse to start when another run holds them.

Reviewer follow-ups F1-F3

Not addressed here; scope is held to the two blockers.

• F1 — attachment evidence has no TTL. Confirmed. Worth its own issue.
• F2 — three of five ATTACHMENT_GATED_TASKS mappings have no production call site. Confirmed: only review_pr and merge_pr are wired. The unwired mappings are inert rather than unsafe, since an unassessed namespace never gates.
• F3 — no automated check ties the documented inventory to the live registry. This one does not reproduce. tests/test_issue_781_edit_issue_tool.py::TestDocumentationMatchesRegistry::test_documented_inventory_equals_registered_tools compares docs/mcp-tool-inventory.md against the live tool registry via mcp_tool_inventory.assess_inventory_drift, and it is currently red on three unconnected tools — which is the check working. Offered as evidence for the reviewer to re-judge, not as a change.

Recovery-path statement

The recovery path added here does not use direct module import, CLI or raw Gitea API mutation, profile hopping, or session-state overrides. The only offered action is connecting the required server and the sanctioned client reconnect, followed by full preflight.

feat(mcp): detect Connected-but-namespaces-missing attachment failures (Closes #708) 08d9cf4cbd

Merge branch 'master' into feat/issue-708-mcp-namespace-attachment 4533e86bcd

feat(mcp): gate Connected-but-unattached MCP namespaces (Closes #708) ... e3fa3b263d

The prior #708 slice added assess_connected_namespace_attachment() as a pure
decision function with no call site: nothing invoked it, so a session whose
role namespaces were Connected at the host but absent from the active session
tool surface still passed every mutation gate. Detection existed on paper only.

This makes it load-bearing.

Decision layer (mcp_namespace_health.py)
- assess_connected_namespace_attachment() gains secret-free telemetry
  (connected/attached/required/missing counts, discovery cache hit and age,
  reconnect_required, auto_attach_attempted, auto_recovered, error_type) and
  reports reconnect_required, auto_recovered and startup_ordering_race.
- Startup ordering: a namespace whose connect completed after the session tool
  snapshot cannot be in that snapshot, so parallel multi-role startup is
  identified as its own race with the affected namespaces listed.
- attachment_gate_from_session() is a fail-closed gate keyed by
  ATTACHMENT_GATED_TASKS. An unassessed namespace does not gate, matching #543
  semantics, so this never fabricates a block.
- SANCTIONED_ATTACH_RECOVERY_TOOL names gitea_request_mcp_reconnect (#678) as
  the only recovery.

Server wiring (gitea_mcp_server.py)
- New tool gitea_assess_mcp_namespace_attachment classifies the condition and
  records a per-namespace verdict in _LIVE_NAMESPACE_ATTACHMENT.
- gitea_submit_pr_review and gitea_merge_pr now consult
  _namespace_attachment_gate() alongside the existing #543 health gate, so both
  fail closed while a required namespace is unattached.
- Watchdog check-in emits status only, never namespace contents.

The typed condition mcp_connected_namespaces_missing stays distinct from config
drift (#672), transport-closed (#584) and resolver EOF (#685). Recovery never
routes through direct imports, CLI or raw API mutation, profile hopping,
session-state overrides, or process kills.

Docs
- docs/mcp-namespace-health.md documents the tool arguments, startup ordering,
  the fail-closed gate, and the telemetry contract.
- skills/llm-project-workflow/SKILL.md states Connected is not attached, and
  that preflight proof is live tool visibility plus gitea_whoami on the role
  namespace rather than host status alone.
- docs/mcp-tool-inventory.md lists the new tool.
- docs/remote-mcp/threat-model-anchors.json and threat-model.md: 21 #956 anchors
  restamped for the line shift these additions caused in gitea_mcp_server.py.
  Every anchor was re-derived from its recorded expect substring; none guessed.

Tests
- tests/test_issue_708_attachment_wiring.py (19 cases): typed detection, proof
  mapping, reconnect-only next action, auto-attach success and failure,
  reconnect rediscovery, multi-role startup ordering, telemetry including a
  no-secret-leak assertion, fail-closed gate per role, unassessed and unmapped
  tasks not gating, partial attachment gating only the affected role, and no
  healthy verdict without attachment proof.

Verification
- tests/test_issue_708_attachment_wiring.py + test_issue_708_mcp_namespace_attachment.py: 24 passed
- namespace/session/runtime/review sweep: 427 passed, 12 subtests
- full suite head: 31 failed, 5885 passed, 6 skipped, 1047 subtests
- full suite base 17ba1ff035: 30 failed, 5862 passed, 6 skipped, 1047 subtests
- failing identifier sets match, plus tests/test_mirror_refs.py DryRunBanner,
  which fails on the unmodified base in isolation and passes here: flaky, not a
  regression from this branch.
- Gate proven by execution, not inspection: registering the assessment blocks
  merge_pr and review_pr, and attaching the namespaces clears the block.

docs(remote-mcp): restamp the commit the #956 anchors resolve at ... 126d76ad28

The anchors were re-derived against the #708 wiring commit; record that SHA so
the fixture states the tree its line numbers were taken from.

REQUEST_CHANGES — PR #967 (Issue #708) at head 126d76ad2871f0782d5c6f40d53cc400557f0052

Reviewed 17ba1ff035ee3154a0f2dcacbefe107457cca33f -> 126d76ad. Reviewer sysadmin / prgs-reviewer, distinct from author jcwalker3.

What holds up

The core wiring is genuine and load-bearing. Confirmed in code and by execution against the head module:

• _namespace_attachment_gate("review_pr") sits inside _evaluate_pr_review_submission under if live: (gitea_mcp_server.py:7638), immediately after the #543 health gate, and gitea_submit_pr_review reaches it with live=True (gitea_mcp_server.py:9947).
• _namespace_attachment_gate("merge_pr") is Gate 0c in gitea_merge_pr (gitea_mcp_server.py:11200).
• Probe against the head module: an unassessed store does not gate; a recorded Connected-but-unattached merger namespace blocks merge_pr; attachment clears the block.
• Typed condition mcp_connected_namespaces_missing carries per-namespace proof_of_connected_vs_attached {connected, attached}.
• exact_next_action offers the client reconnect path only, and sanctioned_recovery_tool names gitea_request_mcp_reconnect. No unsafe fallback route appears anywhere in the added surface.
• The telemetry block carries counts and namespace names only — no credentials, endpoints, environment values, or filesystem paths.
• Registration confirmed at head: mcp.list_tools() returns 125 tools including gitea_assess_mcp_namespace_attachment, with gitea_assess_mcp_namespace_health intact.
• All 58 threat-model anchors resolve at head, and no two anchors share a (file, line) location.
• The forced _STARTUP_PARITY startup-head assignment reported at pickup is absent from the diff and from both commits e3fa3b2 and 126d76a.
• Ownership is intact: no second claimant holds #708, and the only active author-role lease is lease-419dd32b2fc046de on issue #711, which was not touched.

Blocking

B1 — this branch introduces a deterministic test failure, and the PR states the opposite

tests/test_issue_956_threat_model.py::ThreatModelStructureTests::test_records_the_commit_it_was_generated_against fails at head and passes at base.

• base 17ba1ff, targeted run: 17 passed
• head 126d76ad, targeted run: fails
• full suite base 17ba1ff: 28 failed / 5864 passed / 6 skipped / 1047 subtests
• full suite head 126d76ad: 29 failed / 5887 passed / 6 skipped / 1047 subtests
• failing identifier sets compared directly, not counts: the head set is the base set plus exactly this one identifier, and nothing fails only at base

Cause: commit 126d76a set docs/remote-mcp/threat-model-anchors.json generated_against_commit to e3fa3b263d4b8a04b189e111a345ac5c3a3fe1b6, while docs/remote-mcp/threat-model.md:8 still states a143cd065ba06e1a2bdc5143a19ec156e53650ef. The test asserts the fixture value appears in the document. At the preceding commit e3fa3b2 the fixture still carried a143cd06 and the test passed, so the failure was introduced by the final commit — the one whose message is about restamping that very value.

The PR description and the issue ledger both assert tests/test_issue_956_threat_model.py passes 17/17 at this head. That is false at 126d76ad.

Required: bring the document and the fixture into agreement — update docs/remote-mcp/threat-model.md:8 to cite e3fa3b263d4b8a04b189e111a345ac5c3a3fe1b6, or revert the fixture stamp. Then re-run at the new head and correct the verification table.

B2 — a required namespace that never connected produces a healthy verdict

assess_connected_namespace_attachment appends to missing_namespaces only for namespaces present in connected_servers. A required namespace absent from connected_servers is recorded in proof_of_connected_vs_attached as {connected: false, attached: false} but is never counted as missing.

Executed against the head module:

assess_connected_namespace_attachment(
    connected_servers=["gitea-reviewer"],
    attached_session_namespaces=["gitea-reviewer"],
    required_namespaces=["gitea-reviewer", "gitea-merger"])

attachment_healthy:      True
success:                 True
discovery_status:        namespaces_attached
missing_namespaces:      []
error_type:              None
telemetry.missing_count: 0

gitea-merger is required and has no attachment proof, yet the top-level verdict reports the session fully attached. Issue #708 AC4 requires no healthy final report without namespace attachment proof; a caller or agent reading attachment_healthy: true would conclude the session is sound.

Two consequences:

1. attachment_healthy = len(missing) == 0 and len(connected) > 0 is satisfied by any single connected namespace, however many required namespaces are absent.
2. The emitted reason misclassifies the state. attachment_gate_from_session does still block merge_pr here, so the gate itself fails closed correctly — but the text reads "the host reports Connected but the namespace is not attached" for a namespace the host does not report Connected at all. Issue #708 explicitly forbids collapsing this condition into config drift (#672) or transport-closed (#584), and this wording does exactly that, pointing an operator at the wrong recovery.

Required: count required-but-not-connected namespaces distinctly, hold attachment_healthy false whenever any required namespace lacks attachment proof, and emit a reason that separates not-connected from Connected-but-unattached.

Non-blocking — please address or file

• F1 — attachment evidence has no staleness bound. _LIVE_NAMESPACE_ATTACHMENT is a process-global dict with no TTL, unlike _REVIEW_DECISION_LOCK, which is keyed by remote plus profile identity with a TTL. discovery_cache_age_seconds is accepted as an argument and surfaced in telemetry, but no gate consults it. An attached verdict therefore persists for the daemon's lifetime even if the namespace later detaches — the fail-open direction, and attachment state is precisely what #708 says changes at runtime. Cross-session clearing is not possible, since the store is per-process.
• F2 — declared coverage exceeds wired coverage. ATTACHMENT_GATED_TASKS maps review_pr, submit_review, merge_pr, work_issue and create_pr, but only review_pr and merge_pr have call sites. Three of five mappings gate nothing.
• F3 — no automated check ties docs/mcp-tool-inventory.md to the live registry, so the new entry can drift silently.

The reported mirror-reference failure

tests/test_mirror_refs.py::TestDryRunBanner::test_dry_run_banner_shown_by_default did not reproduce:

• head, isolation, three consecutive runs: passed
• base 17ba1ff, isolation, three consecutive runs: passed
• absent from the failing set of both full-suite runs

The claim that it fails on the unmodified base in isolation is contradicted. It is neither a regression from this branch nor the source of the head-versus-base delta. The actual delta is B1.

Issue-lock timing

Commits e3fa3b2 (20:46:09Z) and 126d76a (20:46:37Z) predate the reported issue-lock expiry at 20:50:12Z; PR publication and the ledger comment landed at 20:50:49Z, after it. No competing claimant acquired #708 at any point. Ownership of PR #967 is sound. The lapse reflects a workflow-control defect — a short issue-lock TTL against a multi-minute publish sequence — and deserves its own issue, but it does not invalidate this PR.

Canonical PR State

WHO_IS_NEXT:
author

NEXT_ACTION:
Fix B1 (bring docs/remote-mcp/threat-model.md:8 and the anchors fixture generated_against_commit into agreement) and B2 (required-but-not-connected namespaces must not yield a healthy verdict, and must emit a distinct reason), then re-run the #956 and #708 suites plus a full suite at the new head and correct the verification claims.

NEXT_PROMPT:

Role: AUTHOR
Repo: prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools
PR: #967 (Issue #708), current head 126d76ad2871f0782d5c6f40d53cc400557f0052, base master 17ba1ff035ee3154a0f2dcacbefe107457cca33f

1. Native MCP only on the prgs-author namespace; gitea_whoami then gitea_resolve_task_capability.
   Work in the issue-backed worktree under branches/, never the root checkout.
2. B1: docs/remote-mcp/threat-model.md line 8 still cites a143cd065ba06e1a2bdc5143a19ec156e53650ef
   while docs/remote-mcp/threat-model-anchors.json generated_against_commit is now
   e3fa3b263d4b8a04b189e111a345ac5c3a3fe1b6. Make them agree. Confirm
   tests/test_issue_956_threat_model.py returns 17 passed at the new head.
3. B2: in mcp_namespace_health.assess_connected_namespace_attachment, a required namespace absent
   from connected_servers is never counted in missing_namespaces, so attachment_healthy stays True
   with no attachment proof. Count it distinctly, hold attachment_healthy False whenever any
   required namespace lacks attachment proof, and emit a reason that separates not-connected from
   Connected-but-unattached rather than reusing the Connected wording.
4. Re-run the focused #708 suites, the namespace/session/reconnect sweep, the review-merge gate
   sweep, and a full suite at the new head. Compare failing identifiers against base 17ba1ff035ee,
   never counts. Correct the PR body and issue ledger verification claims.
5. Push, then hand off for a fresh independent review at the new head. Do not self-review or merge.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Independent reviewer session on the prgs-reviewer namespace reviewed the full base-to-head diff at 126d76ad against the six #708 acceptance criteria. The attachment detection is wired into real production call paths and the gate behaviour was proven by execution, but two defects block the merge: a deterministic test regression introduced by the final commit, and a false-healthy verdict for required namespaces that never connected.

WHY:
The #956 threat-model regression is the single identifier separating the head failing set from the base failing set, and the PR asserts that suite passes at this head, so the verification record is inaccurate as well as red. The false-healthy verdict contradicts #708 AC4 and reuses the Connected-but-unattached wording for a not-connected namespace, which collapses this condition into #672 and #584 exactly as the issue forbids.

BLOCKERS:
B1 — tests/test_issue_956_threat_model.py::ThreatModelStructureTests::test_records_the_commit_it_was_generated_against fails at head 126d76ad and passes at base 17ba1ff; docs/remote-mcp/threat-model.md:8 cites a143cd065b while the anchors fixture generated_against_commit is e3fa3b263d. B2 — assess_connected_namespace_attachment returns attachment_healthy True, discovery_status namespaces_attached, missing_namespaces empty and error_type None when a required namespace was never connected, and the gate reason misattributes that state to a Connected host.

VALIDATION:
Focused #708 suites 24 passed at head. Namespace/session/discoverability/reconnect/registration sweep 108 passed at head. Review/merge/runtime gate sweep 264 passed at head. tests/test_issue_956_threat_model.py 17 passed at base 17ba1ff and failing at head 126d76ad. Full suite head 126d76ad 29 failed / 5887 passed / 6 skipped / 1047 subtests versus base 17ba1ff 28 failed / 5864 passed / 6 skipped / 1047 subtests; failing identifier sets compared directly, head equals base plus exactly the #956 identifier, with nothing failing only at base. All 58 threat-model anchors resolve at head with no duplicate file-line locations. Tool registration proven by mcp.list_tools() returning 125 tools including gitea_assess_mcp_namespace_attachment. Gate behaviour proven by execution against the head module. tests/test_mirror_refs.py::TestDryRunBanner::test_dry_run_banner_shown_by_default passed three consecutive isolated runs at both head and base and appears in neither full-suite failing set.

fix(mcp): separate not-connected from Connected-but-unattached (review 637 B2) ... ca5f078d8a

A required namespace absent from the connected-service inventory was never
counted as missing, because missing_namespaces was populated only while
walking connected_servers. The session therefore reported attachment_healthy
true, discovery_status namespaces_attached and error_type None while holding
no attachment proof for that namespace, and the gate text told the operator
"the host reports Connected" about a service nothing had reported Connected.

assess_connected_namespace_attachment now classifies the two conditions
apart. missing_namespaces keeps its meaning: required, Connected at the host,
absent from the session tool surface -- the actual #708 defect, still typed
mcp_connected_namespaces_missing. Required namespaces absent from the
connected inventory land in the new not_connected_namespaces list, typed
mcp_required_namespaces_not_connected, so a caller is never pointed at an
attachment recovery for a service that never connected. attachment_healthy
is false whenever any required namespace lacks attachment proof under either
condition, error_types reports every condition present so neither hides the
other, and namespace_conditions carries the per-namespace connected/attached
verdict. Evidence that disagrees with itself -- attached in the session yet
absent from the connected inventory -- is reported as contradictory and fails
closed rather than being read as proof.

attachment_gate_from_session states only what the recorded evidence supports:
the Connected wording appears solely when connected is true, the not-connected
wording when it is false, and a neutral refusal when connected status was
never recorded. Review and merge stay fail-closed in all three cases.

_record_live_namespace_attachment consumes the per-namespace verdicts instead
of pinning the session-wide error_type onto every unattached namespace and
instead of deriving health from a missing list that tracked only one of the
two conditions.

The two existing cases in test_issue_708_mcp_namespace_attachment.py declared
no required_namespaces, so they inherited a default set containing a namespace
their connected list omitted. Under the corrected rule that is a false-healthy
assertion, so each now declares the required set it actually means.

Closes #708

docs(remote-mcp): restamp the #956 threat model onto the commit it resolves at (review 637 B1) ... 58bd852188

Commit 126d76a set docs/remote-mcp/threat-model-anchors.json
generated_against_commit to e3fa3b26 and left docs/remote-mcp/threat-model.md
citing a143cd06, so the document and the fixture named different source
revisions. tests/test_issue_956_threat_model.py asserts the fixture value
appears in the document, and that assertion failed from 126d76a onward.

The mismatch was not cosmetic. Resolving all 58 anchors against each candidate
revision shows 0 unresolved at e3fa3b26 and 21 unresolved at a143cd06, so the
document's own claim about where its file:line citations resolve was false.
The fixture held the accurate value and the document held the stale one.

The B2 fix in ca5f078d inserted a net 16 lines into gitea_mcp_server.py at a
single point, shifting 21 anchors below it. All 21 are re-derived here by that
one uniform offset and each was verified against its recorded expect substring
rather than assumed, so no anchor is guessed and none became ambiguous. Both
artifacts now name ca5f078d, the commit those anchors were taken at, and the
document's inline citations are shifted to match. The boundary table's claim
about what the code enforces is restamped onto the same revision, because it
described that same source tree.

Verified: 58/58 anchors resolve at the declared generation commit, 58/58 at
this head, no two anchors share a file:line location, fixture and document
metadata agree, and tests/test_issue_956_threat_model.py passes 17/17.

APPROVE — PR #967 (Issue #708) at head 58bd8521880fe464d5d816b11d1001ffaf7cbdfa

Fresh independent review after review 637 (REQUEST_CHANGES at 126d76ad, preserved stale). Reviewer sysadmin / prgs-reviewer / namespace gitea-reviewer, distinct from author jcwalker3. Base 17ba1ff035ee → head 58bd8521.

Preflight (live)

• Five client-managed Gitea MCP children under this Grok client, one each: prgs-author, prgs-reviewer, prgs-reconciler, prgs-merger, prgs-controller.
• All five processes GITEA_CLIENT_MANAGED=1; launch command uses venv/bin/python3 (Homebrew-resolved binary is expected).
• No gitea-tools alias; no duplicate / foreign cohort.
• Identity sysadmin, profile prgs-reviewer, role reviewer; gitea_resolve_task_capability(review_pr) ready, stop_required=false.
• Master parity green at 17ba1ff035ee; mutation_safe=true.
• PR open, mergeable, exact head 58bd8521880fe464d5d816b11d1001ffaf7cbdfa.
• Review 637 remains undismissed REQUEST_CHANGES against 126d76ad (stale).
• No approval at current head prior to this verdict; no foreign reviewer lease.

Lease: acquired reviewer-967-58bd8521 on worktree branches/review-pr967-58bd8521.

B1 — threat-model generation metadata (58bd8521) — verified fixed

• Fixture docs/remote-mcp/threat-model-anchors.json generated_against_commit = ca5f078d8a575ea3e2991771f8b4ea85e3dcaaa0.
• Document docs/remote-mcp/threat-model.md cites the same full SHA; metadata agree.
• Independent resolution: 58/58 anchors resolve at declared generation commit; 58/58 resolve at head; 58 unique (file, line) pairs.
• tests/test_issue_956_threat_model.py: 17 passed at this head (the deterministic B1 failure at 126d76ad is gone).

B2 — disconnected vs connected-but-unattached (ca5f078d) — verified fixed

Independent execution against the head module:

assess_connected_namespace_attachment(
  connected_servers=["gitea-reviewer"],
  attached_session_namespaces=["gitea-reviewer"],
  required_namespaces=["gitea-reviewer", "gitea-merger"])

attachment_healthy:       False
discovery_status:         required_namespaces_not_connected
missing_namespaces:       []
not_connected_namespaces: ['gitea-merger']
error_type:               mcp_required_namespaces_not_connected
telemetry.not_connected_count: 1

Also confirmed:

Case	Result
Connected + attached (required)	attachment_healthy=True, namespaces_attached
Connected but unattached	mcp_connected_namespaces_missing, not healthy
Required not connected	mcp_required_namespaces_not_connected, not healthy
Fully disconnected	discovery_status=disconnected, not healthy
Contradictory (attached without connected)	fails closed, contradictory_namespaces set
Merge gate, not-connected merger	blocks; text does not claim host Connected
Merge gate, connected-unattached	blocks; text does say host Connected
Gate with no connected evidence	blocks without asserting either condition
Unassessed store	does not gate (fail-closed only after assessment)
Session A vs session B stores	one session's healthy store cannot clear another's block

Production wiring re-confirmed at head:

• _namespace_attachment_gate("review_pr") in live review path (gitea_mcp_server.py:7654).
• _namespace_attachment_gate("merge_pr") Gate 0c (gitea_mcp_server.py:11218).
• _record_live_namespace_attachment consumes per-namespace namespace_conditions rather than pinning session-wide error_type.

Focused tests (serial, impact-aware only)

Scope	Result
tests/test_issue_708_not_connected_classification.py	22 passed
three focused #708 files	46 passed
tests/test_issue_956_threat_model.py	17 passed
classification + wiring + #956	58 passed
namespace health + reconnect + role-namespace	35 passed

Did not re-run full head/base suites; author already recorded identical serial failure-ID sets with zero head-only failures.

Non-blocking (unchanged from 637; not merge-blocking)

• F1 — attachment store has no TTL.
• F2 — three of five ATTACHMENT_GATED_TASKS mappings remain without production call sites; inert because unassessed namespaces do not gate.
• F3 — inventory drift check exists and is currently red on three tools at base as well; not introduced by this PR.

Scope

Diff is limited to #708 attachment gating, docs, threat-model restamp, and focused tests. No unrelated behavior expansion observed.
