What & why

Fixes #394.

Managed sessions calling compozy__config_get for an absent allowed path currently receive the contradictory hosted MCP text config_path_not_found: tool not found. This change makes the safe public message reason-aware so HTTP/UDS expose config path not found and hosted MCP exposes config_path_not_found: config path not found.

  • Preserve the existing tool_not_found code, config_path_not_found reason, HTTP 404 status, ToolID, and schemas.
  • Correct the source transport envelope while keeping the hosted proxy generic for every installed extension.
  • Document the deterministic result in the official Compozy skill.

Release notes

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Clarify missing configuration-path errors delivered to managed agents.

📚 Documentation

  • Document the reason-aware configuration error contract and implementation plan.

How you verified it

  • mise exec -- env CGO_ENABLED=1 go test -race ./internal/api/core ./internal/mcp -count=1
  • mise exec -- env CGO_ENABLED=1 go test -race -tags=integration ./internal/daemon -run '^TestDaemonE2EExtensionPublishedAgentSessionCommandsAndPrompt$' -count=1 -v

  • mise exec -- env GIT_CONFIG_COUNT=2 GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0=tag.gpgSign GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_0=false GIT_CONFIG_KEY_1=commit.gpgSign GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_1=false make gate-full (command-scoped Git signing isolation matches CI because this workstation globally signs tags and commits)
  • make gate-status: full pass, current fingerprint d7b255725bf041d7686b979e009d524435c4e751
  • Visual QA is not applicable because this change does not alter the Web UI.

Codex co-authored the implementation; I independently reviewed the diff and verified the result locally.

Impact

  • HTTP/UDS tool-error messages and the hosted MCP projection are corrected for the existing config_path_not_found reason.
  • CLI commands, configuration keys and values, ToolIDs, native-tool schemas, generated OpenAPI/TypeScript contracts, hooks, and the Web UI are unchanged.
  • All installed extensions benefit from the generic transport correction; there is no extension-specific path or fallback.
  • Workspace isolation remains unchanged and is covered by the managed extension-session E2E.
  • The official Compozy skill documents the corrected deterministic result.

Compozy Impact Audit

  • Native tools: No ToolID, descriptor, input/output schema, risk, capability, or reason-code changes. Only the safe message associated with the existing config-path reason is corrected.
  • Extensibility and hooks: Managed sessions from every installed extension receive the corrected hosted MCP message. No hook, resource, manifest, or extension format changes.
  • Workspace data isolation: Unchanged. Configuration access remains bound to the session workspace, with the existing workspace fence covered by integration tests.
  • Official Compozy skill: Updated skills/compozy/references/configuration.md with the stable missing-path result.

  • make gate passes locally (make gate-full before review on larger changes)
  • New or changed behavior is covered by tests, or I explained above why not
  • If an agent wrote or co-wrote this, I named it above and verified the result myself

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved error handling for missing configuration paths.
    • Missing paths now return the stable message “config path not found.”
    • Errors correctly identify a missing path rather than a missing tool.
    • Hosted tool responses consistently include the config_path_not_found reason and not_found status.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for API and hosted transport responses involving missing configuration paths.

Walkthrough

Tool error serialization now uses config_path_not_found to produce config path not found. HTTP, hosted MCP, and extension-agent tests verify the stable message and prevent misleading tool not found text.

Changes

Configuration path error handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reason-specific error serialization
internal/api/core/tool_errors.go, internal/api/core/tools_test.go
Error serialization now passes reason codes into message generation. config_path_not_found produces config path not found. HTTP tests verify the 404 response and sanitized message.
Hosted error response validation
internal/mcp/hosted_proxy_test.go, internal/daemon/daemon_extension_agent_fixture_e2e_integration_test.go
Hosted MCP and extension-agent tests verify config_path_not_found: config path not found. The MCP assertion helper now returns textual error content.

Changes requested

  1. Remove the new internal/api/core import from internal/mcp/hosted_proxy_test.go. internal/CLAUDE.md requires dependencies to flow downward and says no package imports api. Build the transport fixture directly as contract.ToolErrorResponse in the MCP test, while keeping serializer behavior covered in internal/api/core. The runtime behavior is correct; this is a test-layer architecture violation.

  2. Update the required QA and impact evidence for the changed public error message. The existing scenario docs/qa/scenarios/ET-compozy-native-tool-invocation.md still records pass even though this PR changes the user-visible config-path error. Reset it to untested, execute it, and record the evidence. Add the complete Compozy Impact Audit and Web/Docs Impact to the new plan/spec artifacts, including native tools, extensibility/hooks, workspace isolation, and the official Compozy skill.

  3. Make the added plan executable under this repository workflow: record the confirmed reproduction before the fix, and remove or replace the REQUIRED references to unavailable superpowers skills.

The ToolID assertion suggestion is optional: existing UDS coverage preserves that unchanged field.

Update after verifying 8c5c550:

  • Item 1 from my requested changes is resolved. The MCP test now constructs the contract payload at its own boundary and no longer imports internal/api/core; the ToolID assertion was also added. Local CGO_ENABLED=1 go test -race ./internal/api/core ./internal/mcp passes on this SHA.
  • The remaining requested changes are the QA tracker rerun for the newly changed public message, the complete Compozy Impact Audit (the added Web/Docs Impact is useful but is not the full audit), and a plan with a confirmed reproduction that uses available repository skills.
