Canonical issue

Outcome

Adds a pinned, local-only official MCP conformance baseline for the 2026-07-28 wire. The baseline certifies the implemented fixture surfaces, fails closed on required warnings/failures, preserves bare-origin PRM resource values exactly through authorization and token exchange, and writes a machine-readable receipt for audit and CI use.

Scope

  • Included:

    • Pinned upstream baseline — fixes the official conformance source to commit a983ba93c91e0bb31d0b6849eeb52f0ad1083107
    • Local certification harness — adds a fixture HTTP MCP server, SDK-based auth client, and runner that emits tests/fixtures/mcp_conformance/official-2026-07-28-receipt.json
    • Scoped server/client coverage — certifies the applicable local scenarios for tools/list, tools/call, initialize/notification behavior, and OAuth metadata/token flows
    • Exact auth resource preservation — keeps the PRM resource identifier byte-for-byte instead of normalizing a bare origin
    • Deterministic discovery guard — proves unchanged tools/list order across three consecutive probes
    • Fixture hardening — stops reflecting invalid protocol versions and rejects CR/LF-bearing header values in the local fixture server
    validateResourceURL(defaultResource, configuredResource) {
      if (!configuredResource) return undefined;
      return { href: configuredResource };
    }
  • Explicitly excluded:

    • MCP surfaces not implemented by this local baseline are recorded as receipt exclusions instead of being claimed as supported
    • Production endpoints, secrets, paid providers, merge, and deployment paths

Risk

  • Risk level: low
  • Failure mode: false green or false red conformance signal if the local fixture baseline drifts from the certified upstream scenarios
  • Rollback: revert the harness, fixture, test, and receipt files; no production code paths are affected

Verification

Checks run on head edfbc7b31b534e60001eda6369edd2e2f180664d.

  • Focused tests
    • pytest tests/unit/test_official_mcp_conformance.py --no-cov -q
    • python scripts/testing/official_mcp_conformance.py
    • receipt confirms "overall_ok": true with empty required warnings / failures
  • Required CI
    • local validation rerun found no review issues; CodeQL rerun timed out after the fixture-header hardening change
  • Review threads resolved

Production evidence

Not applicable. This PR adds a local-only conformance harness, fixture endpoints, and receipt generation; it does not change a production runtime path or deployment target.

Agent handoff

  • One canonical issue is linked
  • No competing PR implements the same issue
  • Acceptance criteria are satisfied
  • Required checks pass on the current head
  • Human decision is requested only for product, security, irreversible infrastructure, or production approval

Strategic compatibility receipt — 2026-09-09 — WATCH

New primary evidence: MCP merged the Filesystems Working Group charter on 2026-09-08, commit aa8ce049. The charter itself was initially authored August 24.

VERIFIED: the WG plans a Resources write extension (create/update/delete/stat), optimistic concurrency/create-if-absent, and notification/cache interaction. The deliverable is explicitly Ideating. This is not an accepted write-method contract, SDK release, or evidence of production enterprise adoption. The charter excludes a parallel files/* primitive, host sandbox/local-disk semantics, and application write-authorization policy.

Interpretation for #1661 / Agent Factory: retain an adapter boundary for future resource writes and durable receipts, while preserving independent authorization, origin isolation, conflict handling and replay protection. Do not implement guessed wire methods or label this fixture baseline as conformance for future writes.

Queued acceptance gate: only add write fixtures after an accepted, pinned Extensions Track SEP and supported SDK contract; require negative tests for lost updates, create-if-absent conflicts, cross-origin writes, revocation and stale notifications. Existing pinned baseline remains unchanged. Fixtures certify their tested contract, not the deployed MCP surfaces.

Action: attached this dated scope/acceptance note to the existing conformance PR; no new competing issue or runtime activation. Follow-up effort: 1–2 hours for contract review when the SEP advances. Current Copilot-head CI reports action_required, not passed.

Upstream pin now predates official Skills conformance

Verified: official MCP conformance added eight executable SEP-2640 Skills scenarios on 2026-09-11 in commit 7169291 / PR #330.

This PR currently pins a983ba93, so its receipt cannot make a current official Skills-conformance claim.

Before approval:

  1. Advance the pin to 7169291ec0b68eb370fddcd9947313ab0d5e4156.
  2. Classify the three official server scenarios and five official client scenarios individually as pass, fail, or explicit unsupported/excluded.
  3. Connect PR test(agents): add SEP-2640 Skills conformance harness #1655's Agent Factory host path to the five upstream client scenarios rather than duplicating their hostile servers.
  4. Keep official suite results distinct from EventRelay-specific policy/provenance checks.

Canonical crosswalk and scope are recorded on issue #1640. No merge or runtime activation requested.

…s exit code, so a REQUIRED scenario whose runner reports failure but emits no FAILURE/WARNING checks is recorded as passing (fail-open).

This commit fixes the issue reported at scripts/testing/official_mcp_conformance.py:311

## Bug

`summarize_checks()` in `scripts/testing/official_mcp_conformance.py` computed `ok = not blocking`, where `blocking` was derived **only** from parsed `checks.json` statuses (`FAILURE`/`WARNING` for required scenarios). The conformance runner's process exit code (`result.returncode`), although captured into `record["exit_code"]`, was never consulted when computing `summary.ok` or `overall_ok`.

The official `CheckStatus` vocabulary is `SUCCESS | FAILURE | WARNING | SKIPPED | INFO`. A runner-level non-zero exit that produces only `SUCCESS`/`INFO`/`SKIPPED` checks therefore slips through as passing.

### Concrete trigger (already in the committed baseline)

`tests/fixtures/mcp_conformance/official-2026-07-28-receipt.json` demonstrates the failure mode. All four REQUIRED client auth scenarios report:

```
client auth/metadata-var2                exit=1 ok=True blocking=[]
client auth/token-endpoint-auth-basic    exit=1 ok=True blocking=[]
client auth/token-endpoint-auth-post     exit=1 ok=True blocking=[]
client auth/token-endpoint-auth-none     exit=1 ok=True blocking=[]
```

Their checks contain only `INFO` and `SUCCESS` entries (e.g. `auth/metadata-var2`: `{'INFO': 22, 'SUCCESS': 18}`), so the FAILURE/WARNING blocklist is empty and each run is marked `ok: true`, yielding `overall_ok: true`. The runner signaled failure (exit 1) and the harness masked it — directly contradicting the acceptance criterion "fail closed on required checks; do not hide warnings in aggregate success."

`main()` returns `0 if receipt["overall_ok"] else 1`, so this fail-open behavior also masks real failures in CI.

## Fix

`summarize_checks()` now takes an `exit_code` parameter. For **required** scenarios, a non-zero exit code appends a synthetic blocking entry (`runner-exit-code:<n>`), forcing `ok = False`, which in turn drives `overall_ok = False`. Optional (non-required) scenarios and clean (exit 0) runs are unaffected.

Both `_run_server_scenario` and `_run_client_scenario` now pass `exit_code=result.returncode` into `summarize_checks`.

Verified behavior:

```
req exit1 no-fail: ok=False  blocking=['runner-exit-code:1']
req exit0:         ok=True   blocking=[]
opt exit1:         ok=True   blocking=[]
```

Note: the committed receipt fixture still records `summary.ok: true`/`overall_ok: true` for the failing client runs; regenerating it (or reconciling why those clients exit 1) is follow-up work, but the harness now fails closed on the next run.

…keyword-only `exit_code` argument, so `test_required_checks_fail_closed_on_warning` and `test_unscored_failures_do_not_block_receipt` raise `TypeError` on every run.

This commit fixes the issue reported at tests/unit/test_official_mcp_conformance.py:47

## Bug

Commit `258243d` changed the signature of `summarize_checks()` in `scripts/testing/official_mcp_conformance.py` to add a required keyword-only parameter:

```python
def summarize_checks(checks, *, required: bool, exit_code: int) -> dict[str, Any]:
```

But the existing unit tests in `tests/unit/test_official_mcp_conformance.py` were not updated. Both `test_required_checks_fail_closed_on_warning` and `test_unscored_failures_do_not_block_receipt` invoke the function with only `required=...`, so they fail with:

```
TypeError: summarize_checks() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'exit_code'
```

**Trigger:** running either of these two tests. They fail unconditionally at the call site (collection-time TypeError), so this is a deterministic, always-failing test regression.

## Fix

- Added `exit_code=0` to both existing calls, preserving the original assertions (a `WARNING` on a required check still blocks; an unscored `FAILURE` still does not block).
- Added `test_required_checks_fail_closed_on_runner_exit_code`, which exercises the new behavior introduced by the fix commit: a required scenario with no `FAILURE`/`WARNING` checks but a non-zero runner exit code must fail closed with `blocking == ["runner-exit-code:1"]`.

I verified all three scenarios by loading the module and calling `summarize_checks` directly (pytest is not installed in this environment); the outputs match the test assertions exactly.
