What does this PR do?

Lets a terminal session use the integration tools of the workspace its project is bound to, served by the local engine (@altimateai/datamate 0.7.0 or newer, whose --datamate pin is locked) instead of falling through to the hosted endpoint, which serves a different tool set. Behind the workspace pilot flag; terminal only.

The mechanism is deliberately small. In the config loader, after external MCP discovery, a bound directory gets its datamate MCP entry derived: datamate start-stdio --datamate <id>, if an engine on PATH clears the version floor. It is never written to any file, and it has the last word over IDE-written, hosted and stale entries under that key. MCP bootstrap then starts it like any other stdio server and awaits it before the first tool list, so the tools are present on turn one with no extra wait code.

Each turn boundary (before tools are resolved):

  • re-reads the binding; on a re-link it reloads the overlay and replaces the engine, on an unlink it removes it;
  • if the engine's handshake failed, re-adds it once per process, then reports;
  • settles the session's outcome (disabled, unbound, attached, engine-missing, engine-too-old, connect-failed) — a pure read for other modules;
  • announces once per verdict: the declared-vs-delivered inventory when attached, or a refusal naming the exact install command. Headless run prints one stderr line instead (stdout stays JSON-clean).

In workspace mode the in-process writers of the datamate key — the IDE reload endpoint, the HTTP MCP add route and datamate_manager add — refuse it with "managed by workspace". Standalone datamate- entries are untouched. The serve command (the extension host) is excluded so the extension's own engine and bridge are never overridden.

Also: MCP.remove now forgets the key's runtime config (previously it kept reporting "disabled" and connect re-spawned the removed entry); the integrations listing hides extension-type entries with a count; API requests carry a 15 s abort that stays armed until the body is read.

What this does not claim. The engine serving a turn is the one launched for the binding read at that turn's start. A change made by another process (an editor, a link from another shell) is observed at the next turn boundary, not instantly; a re-link landing mid-turn takes effect next turn. An explicit enabled:false on the key is overridden in workspace mode (opt out by unlinking or turning the flag off). A crash-free process holds one engine per key; a second altimate-code process on the same project starts its own, as with any stdio MCP entry. Switching accounts via browser login mid-turn keeps that turn's already-catalogued tools on the previous account until the next turn. About 4 % of engine starts stall at the handshake (a separate, pre-existing engine issue); this retries once and then says so.

How did you verify your code works?

Unit: test/altimate/workspace — 58 tests over the overlay (what the config loader gets under flag/serve/unbound/bound × engine present/missing/old/broken; every turn-boundary path: attach + inventory, refusal + dedupe, headless line, retry-then-fail, retry-then-succeed, re-link, unlink, engine installed after a refusal, probe TTL, bounded session memo, hook never throws) and the pure vocabulary (SemVer floor incl. pre-release and unreadable cores, pin parser in both IDE spellings, the outcome tables over the whole union). The MCP lifecycle suite gains the remove case. Affected suites: 243 pass / 0 fail; config/prompt/tools suites 448 pass / 0 fail; typecheck clean.

End-to-end on a real bound workspace: pending — rows to run on the maintainer's rig are listed in the review-log comment below and will be recorded there before this leaves draft.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds workspace-local Datamate engine management for terminal sessions. It probes scoped bindings, reconciles engines, pins tools per turn, blocks conflicting MCP operations, filters extension integrations, adds API timeouts, and removes stale runtime MCP configuration.

Changes

Workspace Engine Integration

Defines engine outcomes, MCP entry shapes, version checks, scoped bindings, credential lookup, workspace probes, and injectable test seams.
Configuration overlay and reconciliation
packages/opencode/src/altimate/workspace/engine-overlay.ts, packages/opencode/src/config/config.ts, packages/opencode/test/altimate/workspace/engine-overlay.test.ts
Applies the workspace engine during configuration loading. Tracks managed ownership, binding scopes, retries, refusal outcomes, locking, tool allowlists, and MCP entry restoration.
Turn-boundary engine lifecycle

Blocks workspace-owned datamate operations and reloads. Filters extension integrations, adds a 15-second request timeout, and exposes managed-key errors.
Runtime removal and execution markers

Removes deleted MCP servers from runtime configuration and controls headless and serve-mode environment propagation.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 52cbd

This change can launch workspace integrations with a stale account or binding decision during concurrent changes, and can allow managed MCP state to be mutated after ownership changes; runtime removal may also leave pending OAuth state behind. These bounded security and lifecycle risks can affect which tools or credentials a session uses, so the current head needs fixes or explicit owner acceptance before merge.

Poem

A rabbit checks the engine's trail,

Scoped tools arrive without fail.
Bindings change and old tools flee,
Managed keys stay safely free.
Each turn pins its tool decree.

Review log

This PR is reviewed against a written contract rather than open-ended. A finding is a reproducible trace that violates one of the claims below; an instance of a listed residual is disclosed behaviour, not a finding. Rounds are capped at three.

Claims

  1. Flag off, or flag on in an unbound directory: behaviour is identical to main (hosted fallback, IDE-entry reuse, datamate_manager, discovery — untouched).
  2. Flag on + bound + engine ≥ 0.7.0 on PATH: the datamate key is the CLI's own child, pinned to the bound workspace; no other source of that key is started; nothing is written to any config file.
  3. Flag on + bound + no usable engine: no engine tools, no hosted fallback, exactly one announcement per session per verdict naming the install command.
  4. A turn uses, for all its steps, the engine catalogued under the directory lock at its first step — the one launched for the binding read at that boundary. Sessions in a directory (a sub-agent's included) share the key; their hooks and step-1 catalogs run one at a time. A re-link is observed at the next turn boundary; the old engine is closed when the new one is added, so a call made after a mid-turn replacement fails rather than routing to the other workspace.
  5. In-process writers of the datamate key are refused in workspace mode and told why.
  6. The declared-vs-delivered gap is reported once per session and never blocks a turn (the allowlist lookup is bounded at 4 s and overlaps the engine boot; it is awaited on its own only when the engine is missing, once per process).
  7. Turn cost: cold boot ≈ 1 s probe + engine handshake inside MCP's existing per-server timeout; warm turns cost two local file reads.

Disclosed residuals

  • A change to the key from another process (an editor, a link from another shell, the extension writing files) is observed at the next turn boundary, not instantly. Within a turn, the tools already handed to the model are the ones resolved at that turn's start.
  • A re-link landing while a turn is in flight takes effect at the next turn boundary in that directory. With concurrent sessions in one directory, another session's boundary may replace the shared engine while this turn is running; this turn keeps the tools it catalogued and a call through them then fails (closed client) — it does not run on the other workspace. The generation lease would turn that failure into a clean refusal; it is the GA gate.
  • Switching accounts via browser login mid-turn keeps that turn's already-catalogued tools on the previous account until the next turn.
  • An explicit enabled: false on the key in project/global config is overridden in workspace mode; opt out by unlinking or turning the flag off. Likewise /mcps disable datamate is undone at the next turn boundary (one retry), then left.
  • About 4 % of engine starts stall at the handshake (pre-existing engine issue): one retry per process, then a toast; the session proceeds without engine tools.
  • Standalone hosted datamate-<name> servers the user added coexist with the local engine.
  • Extension-type integrations are hidden from the CLI listing with a count; the workspace UI still offers them.
  • A second altimate-code process on the same project starts its own engine child, as with any stdio MCP entry.
  • If config is reloaded by another consumer between MCP bootstrap and the first turn and the binding changed in that window, the first turn's diff may miss the change; the next turn corrects it.

End-to-end rows

Rows 1–7 and 9 were run headless in an isolated sandbox (own XDG state/config, the demo workspace bound, engine 0.7.0 from an isolated npm prefix, project config byte-compared before/after) on 2026-08-28. Rows 8 and 10 were run in a live TUI session in the same sandbox, driven over tmux.

# Setup Expect Result
1 flag off, bound dir identical to main; no engine spawned mcp list shows the discovered dead entry as on main; overlay never ran
2 flag on, unbound dir identical to main; no toast ✓ overlay logs "directory is not bound"; discovered entry untouched; no project config created
3 flag on, bound, engine on PATH, no config entry engine tools on turn 1; inventory toast; no config file written datamate connected as datamate start-stdio --datamate 5; engine log shows the workspace locked and tools listed; model enumerated 12 datamate_* tools on turn 1; no config file written; engine child exits with the session
4 as 3, plus an IDE-written unpinned entry (.vscode/mcp.json) overridden; only the pinned child runs; config untouched ✓ discovery found the unpinned entry; overlay applied; mcp list shows only the pinned spawn
5 as 3, plus a hosted entry in project config overridden; no hosted connection ✓ pinned spawn connected; no remote connection attempted
6 flag on, bound, engine off PATH no tools; one toast with the install command; headless → one stderr line, stdout JSON valid ✓ headless: exactly one stderr line ("declares 52 integration tools … Install it with: npm i -g @altimateai/datamate@0.7.0"), stdout clean; key removed from the catalog
7 engine 0.6.3 on PATH too-old toast, no tools ✓ overlay logs "refused reason=too-old"; key removed; headless line "Found datamate 0.6.3; … needs 0.7.0 or newer"
8 re-link to another workspace mid-session next turn: old engine closed, new one's tools present ✓ turn 1: toast "12 of 52 declared…", engine pinned to the first workspace; binding rewritten from another shell; turn 2: toast names the second workspace, the engine process is pinned to it and the first is gone, the model lists the second workspace's tools (incl. its memory tools absent on turn 1). Exposed a message bug — "11 of 7" because available counts every engine tool while the denominator is the allowlist — fixed in the follow-up commit (declared-and-present count)
9 datamate_manager add / reload endpoint in workspace mode refused with "managed by workspace" ✓ model called datamate_manager add under the shared key and got the managed-by-workspace refusal; reload endpoint by inspection
10 engine stalls at handshake one retry at the next turn, then a toast ✓ fake engine that reports 0.7.0 and never answers the handshake: MCP times out (30 s), the hook re-adds once (another 30 s), toast "engine … timed out after 30000ms. Start a new session" at ~62 s, the turn proceeds and the model answers; turn 2: no further retry (no new child spawned), no repeat toast; MCP kills the stalled children

Rounds

Round 1 — reviewed 3022613726: 2 findings, 2 real, 2 fixed in 73c5180ec.

  • P1 — overlay state was module-wide while Config/MCP state is per instance, so one process hosting two bound directories could start B's engine inside A's MCP state (a claim-4 violation on the multi-directory server path). Now keyed by directory; writers ask for the current instance's directory.
  • P2 — the connect-failed toast said "start a new session to try again" but the retry budget was per process. Now per session.

Round 2 — reviewed 73c5180ece: 2 findings, 2 real, 2 fixed in 42f1f8d10.

  • P1 — the workspace-mode refusal guarded the legacy MCP add route but not the HttpApi handler the shipped TUI/SDK path uses (claim 5). Guarded there too.
  • P2 — on an unlink, the reloaded config restored the user's own datamate entry but MCP was never told to start it, so the project's standalone tools stayed gone for the process. The key is now handed back to that entry (unless disabled).

Round 3 (cap) — reviewed 42f1f8d105, summoned against the claims: 1 finding, real, fixed in 96194a990.

  • P1 — with two sessions in one directory, one session's hook could interleave with another's between its binding read and its engine replacement. Hooks for a directory now run one at a time. The remaining window — another session's boundary moving the shared engine between this session's boundary and its catalog — is disclosed above (residual 2) rather than claimed closed; it is the lease's job.

Round 4 (one extra round, at the maintainer's request, to see the shape) — reviewed 96194a9905: 1 finding (P2), real, fixed in 7169ea7a0.

  • P2 — the unlink hand-back from round 2 covered the running-engine case only; after a refused overlay (engine missing/too old) an unlink had nothing to remove and never started the entry the reload restored. Both paths now hand the key back.

Round 5 — reviewed 7169ea7a0d: 1 finding (P1), the disclosed window with a precise trace; closed at the shape rather than the site in d0ebb1bda: the lock spans the step-1 catalog and a turn's engine tools are pinned across its steps. Claim 4 and residual 2 reworded above.

Round 6 — reviewed d0ebb1bdaa: 1 finding (P1), real and new: the boundary was gated on the loop's first iteration, and an iteration can continue before cataloguing (pending compaction, context overflow), so a turn that began with a compaction skipped the boundary. Now keyed on the turn's first catalog. Fixed in 789500350.

Round 7 — reviewed 789500350f: no findings.

Review closed: 8 findings over 7 rounds, all real, all addressed; the seventh round found nothing. What remains is fail-closed and disclosed above.

Bot round (ready for review, 2026-08-27) — CodeRabbit 6 · cubic 16 · Kilo (infra failure, no findings)

Fixed in 72dcae15c:

  • datamate_manager remove and create (IDE-transport path) refuse the workspace-managed key like add; every writer surface (tool, HTTP add route, SDK route, reload endpoint) loads config before asking who owns the key, so a fresh instance's first request cannot slip past the guard; the SDK route answers a declared McpServerManagedError (409) with a reason instead of an empty 400.
  • A client that predates a mid-session link (an IDE or hosted entry MCP bootstrapped while the directory was unbound) is removed when the overlay refuses — claim C3 held only for entries the overlay itself had started.
  • An overlay that threw is retried at the probe TTL instead of invalidating and reloading config on every turn.
  • versionOf settles on the engine's exit with its own deadline; a descendant holding stdout cannot hang the probe.
  • Managed preferences (MDM) stay authoritative: a datamate key they set is left alone and not managed (overlay skipped, logged); claim C2 gains that exception.
  • ALTIMATE_CODE_HEADLESS is scrubbed from bash-tool children (moved down from feat(workspace): offer to install the engine a bound workspace needs #1169).
  • The refusal signature carries the declared count (note: the allowlist is cached per process, so a changed count is seen by a new process).

Deferred, recorded as residuals:

  • R9 — a usable engine is memoised for the process; an uninstall or downgrade mid-process surfaces as a failed handshake (retried once, then announced), not as a fresh probe. feat(workspace): offer to install the engine a bound workspace needs #1169's file fingerprint extends to the ok memo as a follow-up.
  • R10 — per-directory overlay state is not evicted; only a long-lived multi-directory serve would notice, and v1 excludes serve (C1).
  • R11 — MCP discovery bookkeeping still counts an IDE-discovered datamate the overlay then removed (log/toast wording only).
  • R12 — an in-flight MCP.add/connect can re-create a server removed meanwhile (storeClient has no generation): the parked lease primitive, GA.
  • R13 — MCP.remove does not cancel a pending OAuth transport: pre-existing fork behaviour, own ticket.
  • R14 — test/mcp/lifecycle.test.ts mock state is module-level; only concurrent test mode is affected.

Bot round 2 (on 72dcae15c) — codex 1 · CodeRabbit 2 · cubic 6

Fixed in b2e5c6aaa:

  • connect/disconnect (SDK route and HTTP route) refuse the workspace-managed key with the declared 409 before MCP would restart or close the engine and persist enabled for a key that must never reach a file (codex).
  • datamate_manager add asks who owns the key before the API datamate lookup, so the refusal does not depend on the API being reachable (cubic); the create/remove preflights sit inside their try so a failed config load returns the structured error result (CodeRabbit, cubic).
  • A managed-preferences key settles the session as disabled and triggers no per-turn config reload (CodeRabbit, cubic).
  • An overlay that throws after an engine is attached keeps the applied overlay through the throttled retry instead of releasing the running engine (cubic).
  • The ALTIMATE_CODE_HEADLESS scrub is regression-tested next to the ALTIMATE_NON_INTERACTIVE one (cubic).

Residual added:

Bot round 3 (on b2e5c6aaa) — codex 2 · CodeRabbit 3 · cubic 2 · Kilo 1

Fixed in 76325497c:

  • /mcps enable|disable datamate reached MCP.connect/disconnect directly, bypassing both guarded routes; it now answers with the managed-key refusal (codex).
  • A relink from workspace A to B followed by a failed probe retained A's engine; the retained overlay is now only the same workspace's, otherwise the engine is released and the session fails closed (cubic P1, CodeRabbit).
  • A bound directory whose overlay could not be derived settled unbound in silence; it now settles connect-failed and says so once (CodeRabbit).
  • The transient-failure test did not exercise the throwing probe because the usable-engine memo masked it; it forgets the memo first and asserts the overlay is gone while the engine stays (cubic, Kilo).

Recorded, not fixed:

  • R16 — a third-party MCP server whose sanitised name lands in the datamate_ prefix would be counted in the inventory toast; the engine's tools could be attributed by client instead. Contrived; the count is informational (codex).
  • R17 — the HTTP/SDK writer guards are not serialised with the MCP mutation they precede, so a directory becoming managed during an in-flight add/connect/disconnect is not caught; the lease primitive that closes this is the parked PR-A (CodeRabbit).

Bot round 4 (on 76325497c) — codex 1 · cubic 2 · CodeRabbit 0 · Kilo 0

Fixed in 52cbd411e:

  • Workspace ids are tenant-local, so after an account switch a directory bound to the same id in the new tenant compared equal and kept the old tenant's engine and inventory (codex P1). The overlay's workspace identity is now tenant|apiUrl|id (the credential scope the binding was read under): the reload decision, the engine replacement (same argv, replaced on identity) and the declared-tools cache all key on it.
  • On a relink whose overlay then fails, the release path handed the key back to a raw IDE/hosted entry from the reloaded config (cubic P1); that path now drops the key and restores nothing.
  • /mcps enable|disable datamate answered "not found" for a bound directory whose engine was refused, since a refused overlay leaves no config entry (cubic P2); the ownership check now precedes the config check.

Bot round 5 (on 52cbd411e) — codex 2 · cubic 2 · CodeRabbit 3 · Kilo 1

Fixed in 4d2dae625:

  • managedWorkspace() answered null while a transient overlay failure retained the applied engine, so every writer guard saw the key as free and could replace the engine sessions were still using (codex P2). Ownership now follows the retained overlay.
  • The attached verdict was signed with the tenant-local id, so an account switch to a same-numbered workspace with equal counts went unannounced (codex P2, cubic P2, CodeRabbit Minor). Signed with the scoped key.
  • resolveBinding read credentials twice — once inside the cache lookup, once for the scope — so a credentials change in between could pair a binding with another tenant's scope (cubic P2, CodeRabbit Major, Kilo). One snapshot now validates the hit and names its scope (readLocalBindingScoped).

Residual R17 extended: the check-then-act window between an ownership check and the MCP mutation it guards exists on the /mcps command path as well as the HTTP routes (CodeRabbit, CWE-367 note); same lease primitive, same GA follow-up.

Bot round 6 (on 4d2dae625) — codex 1

Recorded, not fixed:

  • R18 — refusal signatures (engine missing / too old / failed) are keyed on the refusal, its detail, the declared count and the toast title, not on the scoped workspace key: a relink to a different workspace with the same display name and the same refusal is not re-announced in that session. Informational toast only; no engine, tool or credential consequence (codex P2, same family as the attached-signature fix in round 5).

… overlay

With the pilot flag on in a bound project, the `datamate` MCP entry is derived
at config load as the workspace's pinned local engine: never written to disk,
overriding IDE, hosted and stale entries. MCP bootstrap starts it; each turn
boundary re-reads the binding, replaces it on re-link, retries a failed
handshake once, announces once per verdict. Writers refuse the key.
Terminal only.

The engine adds knowledge and memory tools beyond the allowlist when the
workspace enables them, so "available of declared" read "11 of 7". The
line now counts the declared tools that are present; `available` on the
outcome still counts everything served.

… per session

Config and MCP state are per project instance and one server process can
host several directories, so a module-wide overlay let project B's engine be
started inside A's MCP state. The overlay is now keyed by directory and the
writers ask for the current instance's. The one re-add after a failed
handshake is per session, so "start a new session to try again" is true.

The shipped TUI/SDK path adds MCP servers through the HttpApi handler, not
the legacy route, so the workspace-mode refusal of the `datamate` key now
lives there too. On an unlink the reloaded config may restore the user's own
hosted or IDE-written entry; MCP enumerates live clients only, so that entry
is started after the workspace engine is removed.

Sessions in a directory share the datamate key, and a sub-agent is enough to
make two turns concurrent. One hook's binding read, reload and engine
replacement now cannot interleave with another's, so a re-link observed by
one session's boundary cannot land between another's read and its apply.

When the overlay had refused the engine it had removed the user's own
datamate entry from the config it shadowed; an unlink then reloads that entry
but had nothing to remove, so it was never started. The key is handed back
whether or not a workspace engine was running.

The directory lock now spans the turn's first tool catalog, so another
session's boundary cannot replace the engine between this session's reconcile
and its snapshot; and the engine tools catalogued at step 1 are kept for the
turn's later steps, so a mid-turn replacement is never re-catalogued. A call
after such a replacement fails on the closed client rather than routing to
the other workspace.

…ransient fault

The SDK and HTTP connect/disconnect routes refuse the workspace-managed key
before `MCP` would restart or close it and persist `enabled`. The add guard
runs before the API lookup; create/remove preflights sit inside their error
boundaries. A managed-preferences key settles as disabled with no per-turn
reload; an overlay that throws after attach keeps the running engine. The
headless env scrub is tested.

P2 Badge Identify delivered tools by their original MCP client

When a bound project also has a connected third-party MCP named datamate.ai, MCP sanitizes its query tool to datamate_ai_query, which passes this prefix test and is counted as a tool delivered by the workspace engine. If the allowlist lookup is unavailable, a workspace engine serving one tool plus that third-party server produces an attached.available value and toast of two tools, violating the numbered delivered-inventory claim; MCP tool values already retain the original client name, so filter for client === "datamate" rather than inferring ownership from the flattened key.

Expire successful declared-tool lookups.

Line 292 returns any cached non-null value without an age check. Only a null result expires after DECLARED_RETRY_MS. A server process that stays up keeps the first declared inventory for a workspace for its whole lifetime.

The cached value feeds outcome.declared, missing, and the "N of M declared integration tools available" message. If the workspace declares or removes tools later, every following turn reports the first snapshot.

…ink whose probe fails

`/mcps enable|disable datamate` reached MCP directly and bypassed both guarded
routes; it now answers with the managed-key refusal. When a relink to another
workspace is followed by a failed probe, the previous workspace's engine is
released rather than retained; a bound directory whose overlay could not be
derived settles connect-failed and says so once instead of a silent unbound.

416-416: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not restore configured Datamate after an overlay failure.

When a relink to workspace B fails and loaded.mcp.datamate contains an enabled hosted, IDE-written, or stale entry, releaseKey() removes workspace A's engine and then starts that configured entry. The session reports connect-failed while tools can still run through the fallback server.

On a bound-overlay failure, remove DATAMATE_KEY without calling releaseKey(). Reserve releaseKey() for an actual unlink. Add a regression case with an enabled configured datamate entry and assert that the failed relink does not call mcp().add().

Proposed fix
-    if (state.applied) await releaseKey(loaded, !!state.applied.entry)

…id alone

Workspace ids are tenant-local. After an account switch the same id in the
new tenant is another workspace: the engine (started under the old
credentials), the inventory cache and the reload decision now key on
`tenant|apiUrl|id`. On a relink whose overlay then fails, nothing is handed
back to a raw IDE or hosted entry. `/mcps … datamate` asks who owns the key
before checking config.

Use firstCatalog for the resolve-tools span name.

Authorization Bypass (CWE-367): Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition

Reachability: External · Exploitability: Difficult

Make the managed-key check atomic with the MCP operation.

managedWorkspaceLoaded() runs before MCP.connect(name) or MCP.disconnect(name). The command is not covered by the workspace overlay's per-directory atTurnStart chain. Serialize the ownership check and MCP operation with that directory's lock so a concurrent workspace change cannot operate on the reserved datamate key.

…credential snapshot

While a transient overlay failure is being retried the turn boundary keeps the
applied engine, so the key stays owned for that long too — writers could
otherwise replace the engine sessions still use. The binding and the scope it
was validated against now come from one credential read, so a binding cannot
be paired with another tenant's scope. The attached verdict is signed with the
scoped workspace key.

Major — required to merge (#1 of 4). Violates C5 and C2.

datamate_manager add still reaches the managed key when name is passed explicitly

This looks like a regression from the bot-round-2 fix. The guard used to key off the resolved server name:

const managed = serverName === DATAMATE_KEY ? await managedWorkspaceLoaded() : null

Moving it ahead of the API lookup — so the refusal would not depend on the API being reachable, which is the right goal — meant serverName was not yet computed, since it depends on datamate.name from the API response. transport !== null was substituted as a proxy, and the proxy is not equivalent to the thing it replaced.

args.name is a free-text tool argument the model chooses. With no IDE transport and name: "datamate", line 234 resolves serverName to DATAMATE_KEY, this guard never runs, and the standalone branch executes:

await addMcpToConfig(serverName, { ...mcpConfig, enabled: true }, configPath)  // :309
await MCP.add(serverName, mcpConfig)                                           // :310

That writes the key to a config file (C2: "nothing is written to any config file") and replaces the running workspace engine with a hosted cloud entry mid-turn (C5) — the "answers for the workspace with tools it did not declare" case the design rules out. handleRemove still guards correctly on args.server_name === DATAMATE_KEY; only handleAdd lost it.

E2E row 9 exercises the IDE-transport path, which is why this survived.

Fix — keep the guard ahead of the API lookup, but cover both routes to the key:

const wantsManagedKey = transport !== null || args.name === DATAMATE_KEY
const managed = wantsManagedKey ? await managedWorkspaceLoaded() : null

Worth a test with an explicit name: "datamate" and no IDE transport — the current suite covers the IDE-transport path only, which is what let the substitution through.

if (!binding) return null
return { ...binding, scope: scope ?? undefined }
} catch (err) {

Major — required to merge (#2 of 4). Violates C2 and C3.

A transient binding-read failure is indistinguishable from an unlink, and hands the key back

resolveBinding collapses every error into "not bound". reconcile then reads null as "unlinked (or never linked)" and takes the unbind path (engine-overlay.ts:405-419): invalidate config, reload, then releaseKey(...) — which removes the running engine and starts whatever entry the reloaded config restores, an IDE-written unpinned entry or a hosted one.

So a single unreadable binding cache — a partial write, an EBUSY, any transient FS error — hands the datamate key to precisely the sources C2 says must not serve a bound workspace. It does so silently: the session settles unbound, so no refusal is announced either (C3).

The overlay's own failure path was hardened for exactly this shape in rounds 1 and 2 — state.failedAt plus the retained logic at :442 deliberately keeps a running engine through a fault rather than releasing it. The binding read is the one remaining input that still fails open.

Fix — make the failure distinguishable and fail closed, the way the overlay fault already does:

type BindingRead =
  | { kind: "bound"; binding: ScopedBinding }
  | { kind: "unbound" }
  | { kind: "failed" }

On failed: keep state.applied, skip releaseKey, and settle connect-failed rather than unbound. Worth having the test seam return the same shape, so the tests exercise the production semantics instead of bypassing this try/catch.

Consensus review — 7-model panel

Claude + GPT 5.4 Codex, Kimi K2.5, MiniMax M2.7, GLM-5.1, Qwen 3.6, MiMo V2 Pro, each reviewing the full checkout independently, then one convergence round, then every surviving finding re-verified against source and against this PR's diff hunk ranges.

Verdict: 0 blockers. Nothing here should hold the flagged pilot. Scoped to what this PR actually introduces, the required set is four one-line changes plus two doc edits.

Every finding was checked against the review log's numbered claims, its 18 disclosed residuals, and the 67 existing inline comments. Anything duplicating an answered item or an accepted residual was dropped — that removed most of what the panel raised. What follows is what survived.


Minimum to merge

# Change Where Size Why
1 Guard on the resolved key, not on transport datamate.ts:203inline 2 lines The guard is new in this PR and misses a route to the key — C5/C2
2 Don't treat a failed binding read as an unlink engine-probes.ts:28inline ~10 lines New file fails open to a hosted/IDE entry — C2/C3
3 ?? state?.applied?.workspace engine-overlay.ts:241inline 1 line Sibling of the round-5 fix; the key reads free mid-unlink — C5
4 delete mergedEnv["ALTIMATE_CODE_SERVE"] bash.ts:183inline 1 line The variable is new in this PR and leaks into bash children
5 Amend R9's stated consequence review log doc Below
6 "once per process" → per session PR description doc Contradicts the round-1 fix

Details for 1–4 are on the diff.

#5 — R9's consequence is understated. R9 records it as "an uninstall or downgrade mid-process surfaces as a failed handshake (retried once, then announced)". That holds for an uninstall. It does not hold for a downgrade: engineEntry spawns the bare name datamate, so a re-spawn picks up whatever is on PATH now, and a sub-floor binary starts fine and answers the handshake — there is no failure to announce. Since pre-0.7.0 engines do not lock the --datamate pin, the session can then drift onto another workspace silently. That is a C2 consequence, not the wrong-message one R9 records. Wording change only; the memo itself stays accepted. (A TTL on the ok memo alone would not close it either — reconcile only re-probes for an overlay whose entry is already absent, :428. Carrying the resolved absolute path in the derived entry is the smaller fix, and it composes with the file fingerprint R9 already points at.)

#6 — the body says the handshake retry is re-added "once per process". Round 1 P2 deliberately made it per session so the toast's "start a new session to try again" would be true; the code (:258-260) and tests agree. The description is stale, not the code.


One judgement call — mcp_discover (major, no line in this diff to attach to)

packages/opencode/src/altimate/tools/mcp-discover.ts:128-137

Every other in-process writer of the datamate key was guarded across rounds 1–3. McpDiscoverTool was not, and it is agent-callable.

getPersistedMcpNames() (:85) reads what is on disk. The overlay derives its entry in memory and never writes it (engine-overlay.ts:204-205), so in workspace mode a datamate entry in an IDE mcp.json is classified as new, shown to the model under "New servers (not yet in config)", and included in toAdd:

await addMcpToConfig(name, { ...cfgToWrite, enabled: true, updatedAt: ... }, configPath)  // :133
await MCP.connect(name)                                                                    // :136
  1. The unpinned IDE entry is written to altimate-code.json with enabled: true. C2 says nothing is written to any config file in workspace mode. The overlay shadows it while the flag is on, so this is invisible — but it reintroduces exactly the entry the design rejects, and it goes live the moment the flag is off or the project is unlinked.
  2. MCP.connect("datamate") restarts the engine mid-turn. addMcpToConfig writes the file without invalidating the config cache, so getMcpConfig still resolves the overlay's derived entry — the engine is re-spawned, and storeClient closes the previous client. The turn's pinned tools then reference a closed client, which is the failure residual 2 accepts only for a boundary-driven replacement, not one an agent can trigger inside a turn.

Not hypothetical: the Datamates extension writes exactly such an entry — bare {command: "datamate", args: ["start-stdio"]}, no pin (vscode-altimate-mcp-server, mcpServerTools.ts:478-480). "Add the MCP servers you discovered" is enough to trigger it. R11 covers the discovery bookkeeping ("log/toast wording only"); this is the add action — a different path, with a real write and a real reconnect.

It lives in a file this PR never opens, so two options, both fine for merging now:

  • Fix it: if (name === DATAMATE_KEY && (await managedWorkspaceLoaded())) continue — one line, but a 23rd file.
  • Record it as R19 and narrow C5 to the writers this PR touches — zero diff, but the claim has to move; it cannot stand as written.

I'd take the one-liner. Either way it is the one item that can't simply be left alone, because C5 is this PR's claim.


Not required — record and move on

  • Unused exportsinvalidateProbe (:98), settledOutcome (:279), isRepairable (:597), attributableEngine, installWouldHelp. None referenced outside the engine-* modules and their own tests; they exist for the install-offer change described as later work.
  • 400 vs 409server/routes/mcp.ts:66-72 returns 400 for add, while connect/disconnect in the same file return 409 and the HttpApi surface declares McpServerManagedError as 409 for all three. Round 1 moved the SDK route; the Hono add route was left behind.
  • versionOf test gap — the suite covers descendant-holds-stdout, non-zero exit, and an unspawnable binary against real processes, which is genuinely good. VERSION_TIMEOUT_MS is the branch that decides "broken rather than old", and a #!/bin/sh\nsleep 30 fixture would pin it. Separately, out accumulates uncapped for up to 5s.

Pre-existing — not this PR's job

Verified outside every hunk in this diff. Please don't spend merge time on these.

Code Where Surfaced by
mcp_discover's write + connect loop mcp-discover.ts:128-137 the judgement call above
Key selection args.name ?? \datamate-${slug}`` datamate.ts:234 required #1

mergedEnv = {...process.env} bash.ts:170 required #4

MCP engine. This PR touches five lines of mcp/index.ts (delete s.config[name] and its comment). Everything else the panel raised there predates the branch and is already logged: R12 (storeClient has no generation, so an in-flight add/connect can resurrect a removed server), R13 (remove doesn't cancel a pending OAuth transport), R14 (module-level mock state in lifecycle.test.ts). None raised against this PR.

The distinction that decides ownership: pre-existing location is not pre-existing defect. Required #1's vulnerable line is old, but the guard that fails to cover it is new — round 2 moved the check ahead of the API lookup and substituted transport !== null for serverName === DATAMATE_KEY. A new guard that misses an old path is a new bug. Same for mcp_discover: the loop is old, C5 is yours.

Checked against the code and dropped: the turn lock wedging when body() throws (run.then(() => undefined, () => undefined) at :355 converts the rejection; the test at engine-overlay.test.ts:722 shows it); the 15s abort breaking streaming (request() has no streaming callers, the abort is held through res.json() and cleared in finally); managedWorkspaceLoaded() throwing unhandled in datamate.ts (every call site is inside the handler's try); command injection through the pin (datamateId is integer-validated at state.ts:67, and the entry is argv); the derived entry reaching disk (the only config serialization is the legacy TOML migration in loadGlobal(), which runs before the overlay); syncDatamateUrlFromVscodeMcp being unguarded in serve.ts (the overlay is inert there by design, C1); stale overlay state surviving Instance.dispose (harmless — the next MCP.status() recreates MCP state and reloads config, starting every enabled entry including the engine); and "the tests are over-mocked" — the harness models the real Config cache and tracks MCP liveness through add/remove, and the lock tests gate genuine interleavings.

Not re-raised because already answered or accepted: R10, R12, R13, R14, R17, residual 2, and the per-process allowlist cache. R9 is accepted too — required #5 is about its stated consequence, not the memo.


Worth saying

The review log made this far cheaper and more precise than it would otherwise have been. Numbered claims, residuals with stable IDs, per-round dispositions, and e2e rows with real results meant most of the panel's output could be resolved against the record rather than argued — several findings were withdrawn purely by reading it.

On the code: the exhaustive Record<Outcome["kind"], boolean> tables were called out independently by five of the seven models — a new variant cannot compile until every table classifies it, and the safe answer is false. The module split (pure vocabulary / I-O / one test seam / orchestration) is what made a 2,500-line change reviewable at all. And versionOf settling on exit rather than close, with the descendant-inherits-stdout reasoning written down and tested against a script that does exactly that, is the kind of comment/test pair that survives a refactor.

// While a transient overlay failure is being retried, the turn boundary
// keeps the applied engine running; the key stays owned for that long too,
// or a writer could replace the very engine the sessions are still using.
const workspace = state?.current?.workspace ?? (state?.failedAt !== undefined ? state.applied?.workspace : undefined)

Required to merge (#3 of 4). Ranked minor on severity — it needs an intentional unlink and a concurrent writer landing in a short window — but it is a one-line fix and a direct sibling of the round-5 change to this same function, so it is cheaper to close than to document.

Round 5 closed the transient-failure case here by adding the failedAt fallback. The unlink transition still has the same hole.

In the unbind path (:405-418), config().get() re-runs the overlay with no binding and sets state.current = null, but state.applied still holds the running engine until :416. In between, reconcile calls releaseKey, which does real I/O — mcp().remove, and possibly mcp().add to start the restored entry.

Throughout that window this function returns null. A concurrent in-process writer sees the key as free, does not refuse, and calls MCP.add("datamate", …) — which releaseKey's remove then undoes, or which races its restored-entry add. Which one wins is non-deterministic. That contradicts the invariant written three lines above:

the key stays owned for that long too, or a writer could replace the very engine the sessions are still using

Narrower than R17: there the guard is raced by the mutation it precedes; here the guard itself answers wrongly, and closing it does not need the lease.

Fix — consistent with the failedAt case and with managed mode, where both are already null:

const workspace = state?.current?.workspace ?? state?.applied?.workspace

// engine's refusals degrade to a printed line, but a nested entrypoint
// launched from here may well have a TUI. Left in place, the child would
// inherit "headless" and print to stderr instead of showing its surface.

Required to merge (#4 of 4). One line, directly below this one.

mergedEnv spreads process.env. This PR adds the ALTIMATE_CODE_HEADLESS scrub with the right reasoning, but ALTIMATE_CODE_SERVE — which cli/cmd/serve.ts:26 introduces in this same PR — does not get the same treatment.

The Datamates extension spawns altimate-code serve (vscode-altimate-mcp-server, altimateCodeService.ts:753), so under the extension host ALTIMATE_CODE_SERVE=1 is set on the process that runs sessions. Any altimate-code process the agent starts from the bash tool then inherits it, isServe() is true in the child, overlay() returns early, and atTurnStart settles disabled — the feature is silently off in that terminal, with no toast and no log line anyone would think to look for.

C1 excludes serve itself, so this is not a claim violation. But the exclusion is meant to cover the extension host process, not every process descended from it.

Fix — next to the two deletes already here:

delete mergedEnv["ALTIMATE_CODE_SERVE"]

(Unrelated to this PR, but while the marker question is open: Flag.ALTIMATE_CLI_CLIENT already exists in flag.ts:196 and the extension already sets it to "datamates" on the process it spawns — a more precise signal for "extension host" than "any serve", whenever that gets revisited.)

Residual addendum — from the panel review on the precedence PR above this one

The consensus review assigned two inherited halves to this PR; recording them here so they do not fall between the stack:

  • R19 — the settled attached outcome carries no workspace identity (engine-types.ts). One leg of the credential-scope finding: precedence cannot require the settled identity to match the current binding until the outcome carries it. The overlay already computes the scoped key (scope|datamateId) internally — publishing it on the outcome is this PR's half of the fix. Parked with the scope-threading work.
  • R20 — the connection registry is mutable and each handler re-resolves its target independently. The decision/execution seam is narrowed by the sql.execute pin in the precedence PR but not closed; the atomic-lease design that would close it is parked.

Both are deliberate pilot scope; neither changes this PR's behavior. Dispositions for the directly-actionable findings are on the precedence PR's threads and review log.
