sysadminandClaude Opus 4.8 a002864a06 fix(mcp): add sanctioned gitea_edit_issue and a doc/registry drift guard (Closes #781)
The gitea-workflow documentation named a gitea_edit_issue tool that no
namespace had ever registered. There was no sanctioned MCP path to change an
issue title or body at all: the only edit tool, gitea_edit_pr, PATCHes the
pull-request endpoint. An authorized body correction on issue #780 therefore
had to be recorded as a discussion comment instead.

Add edit_issue.py as the authoritative rule and gitea_edit_issue as the tool
built on it:

- Only the fields the caller names are sent, so labels, state, assignee, and
  milestone cannot be overwritten from a stale read.
- A pull-request number is refused. Gitea serves pull requests from the same
  /issues/{n} collection, so without that check the issue path would quietly
  become a second, ungated PR edit path. gitea_edit_pr stays PR-only.
- Structurally invalid requests raise before any credential or network work;
  a request that would change nothing is reported as an explicit no-op with a
  next action rather than a silent success.
- Read-after-write proves the applied title/body and proves that state,
  labels, assignees, and milestone did not move. Transport failures on the
  pre-read, the PATCH, and the read-back are each reported, redacted, with
  the correct performed/verified state.

Gates match every other issue mutation: profile permission via the shared
capability map (resolver task edit_issue, gitea.issue.comment), preflight
purity, branches worktree validation, anti-stomp inventory membership, and
audited mutation.

Fix the drift that hid this. docs/mcp-tool-inventory.md is now the canonical
registered-tool list, and mcp_tool_inventory.py compares it to the live
registry in both directions, plus checks that every tool named under skills/
is registered. The new guard immediately found a second instance of the same
defect: gitea_record_pre_review_command had lost its @mcp.tool() decorator
while the canonical review workflow still instructed reviewers to call it, so
that registration is restored.

Validation:
PASSED: venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/test_issue_781_edit_issue_tool.py -s -q
  — 50 passed
FAILED: venv/bin/python -m pytest -s -q — 4095 passed, 11 failed, 6 skipped.
  The identical 11 tests fail on clean master 8e149e6 with no changes applied
  (254 passed, 11 failed across those five files), so they are pre-existing
  and proven by a baseline run rather than asserted.

Registered MCP tool inventory

This is the canonical list of tools the Gitea-Tools MCP server registers. It exists because documentation and the registered inventory drifted: the workflow documented a gitea_edit_issue tool that no namespace had ever registered, so a mutation could be planned against a tool that did not exist and only fail at execution time (#781).

The rule

Documentation must never name a tool an actor cannot reach.

Two guards enforce it, both in tests/test_issue_781_edit_issue_tool.py:

  1. The list below must equal the registered tool set exactly — sorted, no duplicates, nothing missing in either direction. Adding a tool without documenting it fails, and documenting a tool without registering it fails.
  2. Every backticked gitea_* / mcp_* identifier in skills/**/*.md must be a registered tool. Module and script names that share the prefix are listed explicitly in mcp_tool_inventory.NON_TOOL_IDENTIFIERS rather than being waved through by a looser pattern.

Updating this file

When you add or remove an @mcp.tool(), regenerate the block below:

PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST=1 venv/bin/python -c "
import mcp_server, mcp_tool_inventory
print(mcp_tool_inventory.render_inventory_block(
    mcp_server.mcp._tool_manager._tools))
"

Replace everything between the markers with that output. Do not hand-edit individual entries — the generator and the guard share one ordering rule.

Registered tools

Namespaces (gitea-tools, gitea-reviewer, gitea-merger, gitea-reconciler) register the same tool set; what differs per namespace is the execution profile that gates each call, not which tools exist.

Issue-content editing

gitea_edit_issue is the only path that changes an issue's title or body. It PATCHes the issue endpoint, refuses a pull-request number, sends only the fields the caller named, and proves the result by read-after-write — including that state, labels, assignees, and milestone did not move.

gitea_edit_pr remains pull-request-only. The two paths never merge: a single tool that accepted either kind would make the narrower capability reachable through the wider one.
