User description

Summary

  • add explicit adt flow index tr and flow_index_tr MCP operations
  • persist transport inventory and unresolved source-boundary descriptors without source materialization
  • keep strict checkout fail-closed; retain partial checkout as a separate opt-in

Validation

  • bunx nx run-many -t typecheck,lint,test,build -p adt-flow,adt-mcp --parallel=2
  • bunx openspec validate add-flow-index-only --strict
  • bunx nx format:check for changed files

Notes

The new operation delegates to the existing manifest and descriptor machinery, records unresolved components as omissions, and makes zero source reads.

Summary by cubic

Adds source-free transport indexing that persists .adt inventory and unresolved source-boundary descriptors without reading or materializing source files. Strict checkout stays fail-closed and non-mutating; partial checkout remains a separate opt-in. The operation is exposed as adt flow index tr and the flow_index_tr MCP tool, both delegating to the shared flow service with zero source reads. checkout also gains an explicit --index-on-inexact opt-in that falls back to source-free indexing only on a manifest_inexact failure; all other checkout errors remain fail-closed.

  • Records unresolved components as omitted descriptors so a later exact checkout can retry them; exact entries remain inventory-only until materialized.
  • Preserves existing exact object descriptor links when refreshing an inventory.
  • Works with inventory-only format plugins that lack a materialize step; bounded metadata reads are allowed, source reads and format-owned path changes are forbidden.
  • Refactors MCP transport execution into a shared flow-transport-common flow used by both the checkout and index tools; both tools now redact raw cause and rollback details from error responses.

Written for commit 7daba05. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added adt flow index and the flow_index_tr MCP tool to record transport inventory and unresolved components without reading or materializing source files.
    • Inexact components are recorded as omissions with diagnostics, so they can be retried through a later checkout.
    • Strict checkout behavior is unchanged: an inexact boundary still causes checkout to fail before repository files are changed.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the new indexing operation and how it differs from strict and partial checkout.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Add source-free transport indexing and preserve strict checkout safety

What Changed

  • Added adt flow index tr and the flow_index_tr MCP tool to save transport inventory and unresolved object diagnostics without reading or materializing source files
  • Added --index-on-inexact to explicitly fall back to source-free indexing when exact source history is unavailable; other checkout failures still stop without changing the workspace
  • Indexing supports formats that cannot materialize source and preserves links to existing exact object descriptors for later checkout
  • MCP flow errors no longer expose raw adapter causes or rollback details

Impact

✅ Source-free transport recovery
✅ Strict checkout remains fail-closed
✅ Safer MCP flow error details

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds source-free transport indexing to the flow service and exposes it through CLI and MCP. The operation records transport inventory and omission descriptors without materializing source files. Strict checkout behavior remains unchanged.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2cf8b

Indexing preserves existing source files, but an indexing failure can expose raw diagnostic details to MCP clients. Sanitize those error responses before merging or accept this bounded risk.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2cf8b

The new operation is confined to the existing workspace and uses the existing write authorization class. It does not materialize source files, and later checkout rejects its incomplete descriptors as a complete checkout. Concurrent operations on the same repository may still interfere with metadata and rollback; that failure-containment question is not fully resolved.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: Index and checkout can plan and apply changes to the same descriptor tree without an established per-root serialization or version check. If they overlap, an index failure can restore a snapshot taken before another operation's writes, weakening repository-state and rollback guarantees. Caller-level serialization remains unverified.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — An MCP caller can request transport metadata writes within a server-owned workspace using the resolved ADT client. The inspected path does not show expanded filesystem-root authority or source materialization relative to checkout.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The supplied security assessment retains no verified finding. Its deferred candidate concerns the new MCP handler; source inspection establishes the handler's root checks, but the candidate lacks a valid source-bound verification receipt.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new MCP operation is classified as write, like checkout. Its root is checked before configuration loading and again before service invocation; the shared repository sink applies separate path and ownership controls.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Incomplete-descriptor checks contain normal index-to-checkout reuse, but they do not coordinate concurrent writers or make snapshot restoration safe against another operation's intervening writes.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Establish and verify a per-root serialization or version-checked apply contract shared by index and checkout, including recovery when compensating rollback fails.

The implementation correctly adds source-free transport indexing functionality. The code properly reuses existing manifest classification logic, maintains type safety, handles errors appropriately, and follows established patterns. No defects found that block merge.

Fixed in 3d58774. The flow_index_tr parity test now lives in the existing tests/integration.test.ts entrypoint; vitest.config.ts is restored to its pre-PR scope, so no legacy MCP tests are excluded.

Fixed in 3d58774. Indexing now creates a source-free FlowContext that validates only the registered format; strict checkout alone requires materialize. Regression coverage verifies an inventory-only format produces descriptors with zero source reads.

Reuse MCP transport execution, allow inventory-only formats, preserve exact descriptor links, and keep parity coverage in the active integration suite.
Use a typed request object for the shared transport executor while preserving checkout and index behaviour.
Do not expose adapter causes or rollback diagnostics from transport flow tools.
