"""The tool registry — every capability vault-mcp serves, as data + handlers.

Tools are declared with explicit JSON Schemas (not inferred from signatures) so
`tools/list` is exact on every client, read-only seats are listing-filtered as
well as call-gated, and the transport binding (:mod:`.server`) stays a thin
adapter. Three shapes per docs/V3-PLAN.md §1.6/§4 P3:

- **read** — deterministic lookups on ``vault_core`` (jail applied).
- **write** — mutations, gated per seat, each landing as its own git commit
  under the process-wide write lock (:mod:`.gitops`).
- **agentic** — a ``ModelProvider`` runs server-side for the judgment part
  (``ingest_content``), or an engine entrypoint runs as a subprocess under the
  JobManager (``digest_now``/``sweep_run``/``attention_triage`` — a threaded
  server must not re-import the engine's frozen module state in-process).

Progressive disclosure everywhere a result can be large: summary layer + a
handle first (``read_file`` with ``end=`` before a whole read, capped grep/tree/glob with
``next_offset`` cursors, ``job_result`` tldr → summary → ``detail="full"``).
Tool output must never flood a seat's context.

# --- vaultq: the deterministic retrieval verbs (in-process, whole-brain) -------------
# The verbs live in the package (vault_core/query -- de-vault doctrine: engine code
# never renders into vaults) and run in-process; the `alexandria tool call` CLI drives
# these same tools from the shell, so every surface shares one implementation.
#
# TRUST MODEL: access to a brain is whole-brain -- a seat can reach the brain or it
# cannot (enforced at the tenancy/seat layer; one vault per principal). These verbs do
# NO per-area read-filtering, and neither does anything else since 2.68.0 removed
# `areas[].confidential` and `vault_mcp.private_areas` outright: a per-area wall
# inside one principal's brain protected nobody. They stay inside the vault jail
# (reading only under svc.vault); the jail is the boundary that matters, so tool
# INPUTS that could read outside it are refused in the verb layer ('@file' is a
# CLI-only affordance, inert here).

# destinations (scripts/render.py): `Agent/skills/<name>.md`, the neutral source of
# truth, and `.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`, a generated Claude Code adapter.
#
# The neutral copy is what matters here. It lives inside the MCP jail, so a served
# seat can reach the doctrine three ways — these tools, `read_file`, or `glob` —
# where before it could reach none of them: `.claude/` is in `fs.EXCLUDE_DIRS`, so
# the best routing guidance in the codebase was invisible to every client that
# wasn't Claude Code at a checkout (docs/MCP-TOOL-SURFACE.md §1.3).
#
# `served: false` in a playbook's frontmatter means its STEPS are shell or CI
# operations a wire seat cannot perform (triggering a GitHub workflow, SSH to the
# digest host, reading a local chat.db) — not that its subject is unavailable. It
# is a routing fact, not an access control: nothing here is a secret, and the file

# ---- renaming and retiring an area ---------------------------------------------------
# These were "owner-on-the-box operations" until 2.114.0, on the reasoning that they
# move folders and MCP had no folder verb. That was a gap, not a boundary: the seat that
# may CREATE an area (`area_add`) and may rewrite every note inside it (`note_save`,
# `rename`, `delete`) was refused the one operation that keeps the vault self-consistent,
# so a rename over chat became "mv the folder yourself, then edit config" — advice a
# hosted brain's owner cannot act on at all, because there is no box to be on.
#
# An area is not just its config entry. Renaming one has to move FOUR things together or
# it breaks an engine:
#
#   1. `Areas/<Old>/`                — every walker derives the area from this segment
#                                      (vault_stats._bucket, query/find, the digest scans)
#   2. `Areas/<New>/<Old>.md`        — the folder note, same-named by PEAK convention
#   3. `Areas/<New>/<Old> TODO.md`   — federation_inbox builds this path by FORMULA
#                                      (`vault / "Areas" / area / f"{area} TODO.md"`), so
#                                      a config entry whose TODO file is still named for
#                                      the old area silently drops inbound items
#   4. `config.areas[].name`         — plus any `owner_digests[].areas` routing it
#
# Wikilinks are the fifth, and the reason `rewrite_links` defaults TRUE here while the
# note-level `rename` tool leaves links alone: renaming one note breaks the links that
# named it, renaming an area breaks every link into it at once, and "the sweep's
# single-candidate repair will get it" stops being true when two candidates (`<Old>` and
# `<Old> TODO`) vanish in the same commit.

# chat tools — .chat conversation records in Chats/ (see the Chats folder note)
# =====================================================================================
# Format v1, JSON Lines: line 1 is a write-once header {"chat": 1, "id", "title",
# "created_at", "client", "model"?, "meta"?}; every later line is one opaque
# client-defined JSON record the backend never interprets — though the format
# (client-owned, documented in the Chats folder note) requires every
# message-bearing record to carry a "model" field. The filename is
# ``Chats/YYYY-MM-DD <title-slug>.<sid8>.chat`` — sid8 (first 8 hex of the session
# UUID) is the stable lookup key; title and date may change (chat_retitle), sid8
# never does. Being ``.chat`` (not ``.md``) keeps transcripts out of the note/
# graph/digest surfaces by construction — which, since 2.68.0 removed the
# folder-level ACL that used to hide ``Chats``, is now the ONLY thing separating
# them. Clients on a local vault write this same format by direct file I/O — the
# two must stay byte-compatible.
#
# Files are append-only per record (chat_append) with one escape hatch:
# chat_vacuum replaces ALL record lines with a client-computed snapshot (its
# latest checkpoint records + tail) so a session's file stops growing without
# bound and legacy oversized records can be retired. The header line is
# preserved byte-for-byte either way; only chat_retitle rewrites it.
