feat: MCP config sync, session protocol enforcement, and platform prioritization#59
Conversation
Research revealed MCP configuration differs across environments: - Claude Code: .mcp.json with mcpServers (project root) - VS Code: mcp.json with servers (.vscode/ directory) - Copilot CLI: mcp-config.json with mcpServers (~/.copilot/) Changes: - Fix Sync-McpConfig.ps1 to output to .vscode/mcp.json - Add automatic .vscode/ directory creation - Update tests for new path and add directory creation tests - Delete orphan mcp.json from project root (was not used) - Create .vscode/mcp.json with correct VS Code format Analysis documents created for all three environments with verified schemas and source citations. Includes retrospective on session protocol compliance failure - agent did not follow AGENTS.md despite explicit instructions. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ment Implements retrospective recommendations from 2025-12-17-protocol-compliance-failure.md to shift from trust-based to verification-based enforcement. Key changes: - Create SESSION-PROTOCOL.md as single canonical source for session protocol - Use RFC 2119 key words (MUST, SHOULD, MAY) for requirement levels - Add verification mechanisms for each requirement - Update CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md to reference canonical document - Create Validate-SessionProtocol.ps1 for automated compliance checking - Add comprehensive Pester tests (33 tests, all passing) RFC 2119 semantics: - MUST = protocol failure if violated (error) - SHOULD = warning if violated (non-blocking) - MAY = truly optional (not checked) Technical controls: - Blocking gates for session start/end - Validation script for compliance verification - Observable checkpoints with evidence requirements 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Replace "MANDATORY" labels with RFC 2119 key words (MUST, SHOULD, MAY) - Restructure to match CLAUDE.md's phased approach (Phase 1, 2, 3) - Add reference to canonical SESSION-PROTOCOL.md - Add verification requirements for each phase - Align session end requirements with CLAUDE.md 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add session entry for copilot-instructions.md RFC 2119 update - Update current branch to fix/copilot-mcp with PR #59 reference - Document commits included in PR 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add requirement for agents to link their session log in HANDOFF.md updates. This enables easy navigation from the handoff document to detailed session context, improving cross-session traceability. Changes: - Add "Link to session log" as first requirement for HANDOFF.md updates - Update session end checklist to explicitly mention session log link - Bump SESSION-PROTOCOL.md version to 1.1 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Strategic decision to focus resources on Claude Code (P0) and VS Code (P1). Key decisions: - DECLINED: Adding Copilot CLI sync to Sync-McpConfig.ps1 - Copilot CLI enters maintenance-only mode (no new features) - Renamed "2-Variant Consolidation" to "VS Code Consolidation" - Defined removal criteria (10% maintenance, 90-day demand, etc.) Critical limitations documented: - User-level MCP config only (no project-level, no team sharing) - No Plan Mode for multi-step reasoning - Limited context window (8k-32k vs 200k+) - No semantic code analysis (text search only) - No VS Code configuration reuse - Known reliability issues with user-level agent loading Files: - .agents/analysis/002-copilot-cli-limitations-assessment.md (new) - .agents/roadmap/product-roadmap.md (updated with platform hierarchy) - .agents/HANDOFF.md (session summary) - .agents/sessions/2025-12-17-session-03 (session log) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add 8 new tests for the Serena server-specific transformations: - Transforms context from "claude-code" to "ide" - Transforms port from "24282" to "24283" - Transforms both context and port together - Preserves other serena args unchanged - Does not modify non-serena servers - Handles serena config without args gracefully - Verifies source config is not modified (deep clone) Test results: 25 passed, 0 failed 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Comprehensive QA verification of the serena server transformation feature: - All 28 tests pass (25 passed, 0 failed, 3 skipped) - 100% coverage of transformation logic - All edge cases handled correctly - Documentation matches implementation Feature transforms serena config for VS Code compatibility: - --context "claude-code" → "ide" - --port "24282" → "24283" Implementation quality: EXCELLENT - Deep clone prevents source mutation - Precise regex matching - Graceful error handling 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
This pull request addresses critical issues with MCP server configuration loading and implements verification-based session protocol enforcement. The PR includes two major improvements: fixing MCP configuration paths to use the correct VS Code directory structure (.vscode/mcp.json), and creating a canonical session protocol document with RFC 2119 requirements (MUST, SHOULD, MAY) for better enforcement.
Key Changes:
- MCP configuration now correctly targets
.vscode/mcp.jsoninstead of root-levelmcp.json - New
SESSION-PROTOCOL.mdestablishes single source of truth for session requirements - Session protocol enforcement upgraded from rhetorical labels to RFC 2119 requirement levels
- New validation script
Validate-SessionProtocol.ps1with comprehensive Pester tests - Serena transformation feature adds context/port mapping for VS Code compatibility
