This deliberately **replaces** any permanent `exactly_one_per_profile` fleet
model (#949 assumption) as the operating rule for multi-instance fleets.
## Project-scoped launches and the runnable entry point (#985)
Not every project exposes all five namespaces. A project-scoped configuration
such as Weekly Briefings intentionally has **author, reviewer, and merger
only**, and has no controller or reconciler profile to supply. Requiring all
five would force operators to invent profiles that must not exist, so the
launcher accepts an explicitly validated subset.
### Running a launch
```bash
python3 -m mcp_application_launcher \
--client claude_code \
--namespaces author,reviewer,merger \
--profile author=prgs-author \
--profile reviewer=prgs-reviewer \
--profile merger=prgs-merger
```
That mints one trusted `client_instance_id`, writes a per-launch `mcpServers`
config, and executes:
```text
claude --mcp-config <per-launch.json> --strict-mcp-config
```
Add `--dry-run` to print the plan (namespaces, excluded namespaces, minted ID,
argv, config path) as JSON and start nothing. Omit `--namespaces` to launch all
five exactly as before. Arguments after the flags are forwarded to the client.
Other supported clients register one entry in
`mcp_application_launcher.CLIENT_LAUNCH_SPECS`; because the argv builder only
ever receives a config this module wrote, every client necessarily goes through
the same mint-once/propagate-to-all mechanism.
### Why the config is per-launch and never `.mcp.json`
Persisting a trusted ID into a shared, reused `.mcp.json` would give two
concurrent sessions **the same** trusted identity — precisely the reuse case
the duplicate gate must reject. The launcher therefore writes a fresh
owner-readable-only (`0600`) config per launch. Do not commit one, and do not
copy a minted `GITEA_MCP_CLIENT_INSTANCE` into any checked-in configuration.
### Provenance sealing
The `inst-…` format is public and reproducible, so format alone cannot
establish trust: anyone able to set one environment variable could otherwise
hand-write a valid-looking ID and be believed. Trust therefore requires **both**
the format and `GITEA_MCP_INSTANCE_PROVENANCE=trusted_launcher`, which only the
launcher writes. A well-formed but unsealed identity is classified
`unsealed_launcher` and **fails closed** — it is still reported for diagnosis,
but never authorizes trusted attribution. Manually asserted trust is not
possible.
### Migration and coordinated relaunch
Existing configurations that predate this work set no instance key at all, so
their workers register under `legacy-pid-*` (`legacy_incomplete`) and remain
mutually indistinguishable when two launches share a profile.
Migrating is a **coordinated relaunch**, not an in-place edit — a running
worker cannot acquire an identity it was not started with:
1. Stop every LLM client currently running Gitea MCP workers. A single
surviving legacy cohort keeps the fleet ambiguous.
2. Relaunch each application through the command above.
3. Repeat per application. Concurrent launches are expected and safe: each
receives its own trusted ID.
### Post-launch verification
* `gitea_get_runtime_context``provenance_assessment.attachment` should show
an `inst-…` `client_instance_id` with
`instance_id_provenance: trusted_launcher`, not `legacy-pid-*` /
`legacy_incomplete`.
* Every namespace of the same launch must report that **same** ID; two
different launches must report different IDs.
* `gitea_resolve_task_capability` should return
`exact_safe_next_action: "None; ready for operations."` with no
`blocker_kind`. A `runtime_reconnect_required` naming duplicate PIDs per
profile means at least one cohort is still on legacy identity, or a second
cohort is genuinely running.
* `mcp_application_launcher.collect_instance_ids_from_mcp_servers(servers,
namespaces=[...])` returns `shared_single_trusted_id` for a built config, and
reports `missing_servers` when an expected namespace entry is absent.
## How five workers join one instance
1. The host starts one application instance (for example one Codex session).
