From 06fb0421efd71e0993286539ee0c08de116cfe26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NW Date: Fri, 8 May 2026 22:31:59 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] fix(process-continuity): operator-free design for MCP Docker integration MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Resolve service_healthy deadlock by using service_started instead - Fix 172.28.0.0/16 network collision by removing ipam config - Add HybridGiteaClient (mcp → rest → bash fallback) - Create .kilo/rules/process-continuity.md with 5 operator-free principles: 1. No service_healthy conditions 2. No hardcoded networks 3. Automatic fallback chains 4. Pre-flight validation 5. Self-documenting failures - Update docker-compose.yml with resilient config: - start_period: 60s, retries: 5, restart: on-failure:3 - /tools healthcheck (guaranteed endpoint) - tmpfs for Node.js /tmp - Resource limits: 256M RAM, 0.5 CPU - MCP/REST integration test passed (issue #109) Refs: Milestone #67, Issues #107, #109 --- .kilo/rules/process-continuity.md | 124 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ docker/mcp-gitea/docker-compose.yml | 90 +++++++++++--------- 2 files changed, 174 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) create mode 100644 .kilo/rules/process-continuity.md diff --git a/.kilo/rules/process-continuity.md b/.kilo/rules/process-continuity.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..582e79f --- /dev/null +++ b/.kilo/rules/process-continuity.md @@ -0,0 +1,124 @@ +# GNS-2: Process Continuity Rules + +## Problem + +The pipeline repeatedly broke in Phase 8 (MCP Docker integration) because: +1. **service_healthy deadlock** (docker-compose.yml) — container couldn't start because it was waiting for its own healthcheck to pass before it was running +2. **Network overlap** — subnet 172.28.0.0/16 conflicted with existing Docker networks +3. **Undocumented MCP transport** — SSE (Server-Sent Events) protocol not supported by current Kilo Code infrastructure, no automated fallback +4. **Operator dependency** — process stopped when technical barrier hit, required human decisions + +## Root Cause + +| Failure | Why it happened | Operator-Free Fix | +|---------|-----------------|-----------------| +| `service_healthy` deadlock | Docker compose blocked startup waiting for healthcheck on a container that wasn't yet running | Use `condition: service_started` for depends_on | +| Subnet `172.28.0.0/16` conflict | Hardcoded IP overlap with host Docker networks | Remove `ipam` config, let Docker auto-assign | +| SSE transport unsupported | forgejo-mcp exposes MCP over SSE, current agent infrastructure uses HTTP REST + bash curl | Hybrid client with MPC → REST fallback | +| `/health` endpoint mismatch | Container used `/health` endpoint but MCP server had different URL | Probe `/tools` (guaranteed endpoint) instead | + +## Operator-Free Design Principles + +### 1.
