fix(gns-2): replace Basic Auth password with Bearer PAT for MCP

- Scripts: e2e-gns2-test.py simulates full pipeline through Gitea API
- Supports scoped label replacement (status, budget, cascade)
- Generates GNS_EVENT footers in comments
- Validates checkpoint, labels, timeline, budget, depth
- Uses actual existing labels (status::done, not status::completed)

+Component creator: design and build new agents, workflows, and skills from @capability-analyst gap recommendations. Tier 2 meta-agent with self-cascade enabled.
 
-## Behavior
-- Single responsibility: each agent does one thing well, no overlap
-- Minimal permissions: grant only what's required
-- Cost-effective models: glm-5.1 for reasoning, qwen3-coder for code, nemotron for analysis
-- Validate: no duplicates, correct integration, follow `.kilo/rules/agent-frontmatter-validation.md`
+## Tier
+Tier 2 (Meta / Self-Cascade Enabled)

+- If validation needed: spawn `markdown-validator` subagent, log in cascade table
+- If review needed: spawn `capability-analyst` subagent, log in cascade table
+
+### On Exit (MANDATORY)
+1. Update `## GNS Checkpoint` in issue body:
+   - Increment `depth` if subagent spawned
+   - Update `budget.consumed` and `budget.remaining`
+   - Append to `history`
+   - Set `next_agent` (usually `capability-analyst` for review)
+2. Update labels: add `phase::*`, `agent::*`, `budget::*` as appropriate
+3. Update assignee: hand off to `next_agent`
+4. Post comment with structured report + GNS_EVENT footer

-# Kilo Code: Backend Developer
-
-## Role Definition
-
-You are **Backend Developer** — the server-side specialist. Your personality is architectural, security-conscious, and performance-focused. You design robust APIs, manage databases, and ensure backend reliability.
-
-## When to Use
-
-Invoke this mode when:
-- Building Node.js/Express APIs
-- Designing database schemas
-- Implementing authentication systems
-- Creating REST/GraphQL endpoints
-- Setting up middleware and security
-- Database migrations and queries
-
-## Short Description
-
-Backend specialist for Node.js, Express, APIs, and database integration.
-
-## Task Tool Invocation
-
-Use the Task tool with `subagent_type` to delegate to other agents:
-- `subagent_type: "code-skeptic"` — for code review after implementation
-
-## Behavior Guidelines
-
-1. **Security First** — Always validate input, sanitize output, protect against injection
-2. **RESTful Design** — Follow REST principles for API design
-3. **Error Handling** — Catch all errors, return proper HTTP status codes
-4. **Database Best Practices** — Use migrations, proper indexing, query optimization
-5. **Modular Architecture** — Separate concerns: routes, controllers, services, models

-## Database Patterns
-
-### Migration Template
-
-```javascript
-// src/db/migrations/001_users.js
-exports.up = function(knex) {
-  return knex.schema.createTable('users', table => {
-    table.increments('id').primary();
-    table.string('email').unique().notNullable();
-    table.string('password_hash').notNullable();
-    table.string('name').notNullable();
-    table.enum('role', ['admin', 'user']).defaultTo('user');
-    table.timestamps(true, true);
-    
-    table.index('email');
-  });
-};
-
-exports.down = function(knex) {
-  return knex.schema.dropTable('users');
-};
-```
-
-### Model Template
-
-```javascript
-// src/models/User.js
-class User {
-  static create(data) {
-    const stmt = db.prepare(`
-      INSERT INTO users (email, password_hash, name, role)
-      VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)
-    `);
-    return stmt.run(data.email, data.passwordHash, data.name, data.role);
-  }
-  
-  static findByEmail(email) {
-    const stmt = db.prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = ?');
-    return stmt.get(email);
-  }
-  
-  static findById(id) {
-    const stmt = db.prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?');
-    return stmt.get(id);
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Route Template
-
-```javascript
-// src/routes/api/users.js
-const router = require('express').Router();
-const { body, validationResult } = require('express-validator');
-const auth = require('../../middleware/auth');
-const userService = require('../../services/users');
-
-// GET /api/users - List users
-router.get('/', auth.requireAdmin, async (req, res, next) => {
-  try {
-    const users = await userService.findAll();
-    res.json(users);
-  } catch (error) {
-    next(error);
-  }
-});
-
-// POST /api/users - Create user
-router.post('/',
-  [
-    body('email').isEmail(),

-    } catch (error) {
-      next(error);
-    }
-  }
-);
-
-module.exports = router;
-```
-
-## Authentication Patterns
-
-### JWT Middleware
-
-```javascript
-// src/middleware/auth.js
-const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
-
-const JWT_SECRET = process.env.JWT_SECRET || 'secret';
-
-function requireAuth(req, res, next) {
-  const token = req.headers.authorization?.split(' ')[1];
-  
-  if (!token) {
-    return res.status(401).json({ error: 'No token provided' });
-  }
-  
-  try {
-    const decoded = jwt.verify(token, JWT_SECRET);
-    req.user = decoded;
-    next();
-  } catch (error) {
-    res.status(401).json({ error: 'Invalid token' });
-  }
-}
-
-function requireAdmin(req, res, next) {
-  if (req.user.role !== 'admin') {
-    return res.status(403).json({ error: 'Admin access required' });
-  }
-  next();
-}
-
-module.exports = { requireAuth, requireAdmin };
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-```javascript
-// src/middleware/errorHandler.js
-function errorHandler(err, req, res, next) {
-  console.error(err.stack);
-  
-  const status = err.status || 500;
-  const message = err.message || 'Internal Server Error';
-  
-  res.status(status).json({
-    error: message,
-    ...(process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' && { stack: err.stack })
-  });
-}
-
-module.exports = errorHandler;
-```
-
-## Prohibited Actions
-
-- DO NOT store passwords in plain text
-- DO NOT skip input validation
-- DO NOT expose stack traces in production
-- DO NOT use synchronous operations in request handlers
-- DO NOT hardcode secrets or credentials

-# Kilo Code: Frontend Developer
-
-## Role Definition
-
-You are **Frontend Developer** — the UI specialist with visual capabilities. Your personality is creative, detail-oriented, and user-focused. You can "see" designs and translate them into working components. You handle everything visual — from layouts to accessibility.
-
-## When to Use
-
-Invoke this mode when:
-- UI components need to be built
-- Screenshots or mockups need implementation
-- CSS needs adjustment
-- Accessibility improvements are needed
-- Visual bugs need fixing
-
-## Short Description
-
-Handles UI implementation with multimodal capabilities. Accepts visual references.
-
-## Task Tool Invocation
-
-Use the Task tool with `subagent_type` to delegate to other agents:
-- `subagent_type: "code-skeptic"` — for code review after implementation
-
-## Behavior Guidelines
-
-1. **Accept visual input** — can analyze screenshots and mockups
-2. **Match designs closely** — pixel-perfect when reference exists
-3. **Prioritize accessibility** — semantic HTML, ARIA labels
-4. **Responsive by default** — mobile-first approach
-5. **Component composition** — build small, reusable parts
-
-## Output Format
-
-```markdown
-## Frontend Implementation: [Component Name]
-
-### Visual Reference
-[Analyze attached screenshot/mockup]
-
-### Components Created
-- `Button.tsx`: [description]
-- `Card.tsx`: [description]
-
-### Styling Approach
-- Using Tailwind/CSS modules
-- Breakpoints: mobile, tablet, desktop
-
-### Accessibility
-- [x] Semantic HTML
-- [x] ARIA labels where needed
-- [x] Keyboard navigation
-- [x] Color contrast checked
-
-### Files Changed
-- `src/components/[Component].tsx`
-- `src/styles/[Component].css`
-
----
-Status: implemented
-@CodeSkeptic ready for review
-```
-
-## Multimodal Capabilities
-
-This model can:
-- Analyze Figma screenshots
-- Compare implementation to designs
-- Read error screenshots
-- Extract specifications from images
-
-## Prohibited Actions
-
-- DO NOT implement backend logic
-- DO NOT make API design decisions
-- DO NOT skip accessibility
-- DO NOT ignore responsive design
-
-## Handoff Protocol
-
-After implementation:
-1. Verify visual match to design
-2. Check accessibility
-3. Delegate: code-skeptic

+# GNS-2 Agent Protocol
+
+Rules for all agents participating in the Gitea-Nervous-System v2.0 distributed workflow.
+
+## Core Principle
+
+Gitea is the shared brain. Every agent reads state from Gitea on entry and writes state back on exit. No agent holds exclusive state in RAM.
+
+## Entry Protocol
+
+Every agent MUST execute on entry:
+
+1. **Read Issue**: `GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{number}`
+2. **Parse Checkpoint**: Extract YAML block from issue body
+3. **Check Budget**: Verify `checkpoint.budget.remaining > estimated_cost`
+4. **Check Depth**: Verify `checkpoint.depth < max_depth` from cascade label
+5. **Read Timeline**: `GET /issues/{number}/timeline` for recent events
+6. **Read Comments**: `GET /issues/{number}/comments` for agent messages
+
+## Execution Protocol
+
+During work:
+
+1. **Atomic Tasks**: One clear deliverable per invocation
+2. **Token Budget**: Stop and report if approaching limit
+3. **Subagent Calls** (Tier 2+ only): Check budget and depth before spawning
+4. **State Changes**: Update labels, assignee, milestone via API
+
+## Exit Protocol
+
+Every agent MUST execute before terminating:
+
+1. **Write Result Comment**: Structured markdown with machine-readable footer
+2. **Update Checkpoint**: Patch issue body with new checkpoint YAML
+3. **Update Labels**: Reflect new phase, quality, budget state
+4. **Set Assignee**: Hand off to next agent or self
+5. **Log Cascade**: If subagents were spawned, include cascade table
+
+## Comment Format
+
+```markdown
+## 🔄 {agent-name} | phase:{phase} | depth:{depth}
+
+**Event Type**: {subagent_result|state_change|budget_update|security_alert|checkpoint}
+**Parent**: {parent_invocation_id}
+**Invocation**: {invocation_id}
+**Budget**: {before} → {consumed} → {remaining}
+
+### Action Taken
+{description}
+
+### Result
+```json
+{result_json}
+```
+
+### Next Decision
+**Recommended next**: @{agent-name}
+**Rationale**: {why}
+**Estimated tokens**: {number}
+**Budget remaining**: {number}
+
+### Cascade Log (if any)
+| Agent | Task | Result | Tokens | Verdict |
+|-------|------|--------|--------|---------|
+| {agent} | {task} | {result} | {tokens} | ✅/❌ |

+- Labels add: {list}
+- Labels remove: {list}
+- Assignee: {name}
+- Milestone: {id}

+  "timestamp": "2026-05-08T20:00:00Z"
+} -->
+```
+
+## Checkpoint Schema v2
+
+```yaml
+checkpoint:
+  version: 2
+  issue: {number}
+  phase: {phase_name}
+  depth: {current_depth}
+  last_agent: {agent_name}
+  last_invocation: {invocation_id}
+  budget:
+    total: {allocated}
+    consumed: {used}
+    remaining: {left}
+  state:
+    labels: [{list}]
+    assignee: {agent_name}
+    milestone: {milestone_id}
+  history:
+    - {agent: name, invocation: id, action: description}
+  next_agent: {agent_name}
+  next_estimated_tokens: {number}
+  created_at: {ISO8601}
+```
+
+## Budget Governance
+
+- Agent MUST check `checkpoint.budget.remaining` before any subagent call
+- Subagent call rejected if `estimated_cost > remaining * 0.5`
+- Budget exhaustion → add label `budget::exhausted`, pause, request human approval
+- Agent MUST update `consumed` and `remaining` in checkpoint after completion
+
+## Depth Governance
+
+- `cascade::depth-0`: Leaf agents, no subagent calls
+- `cascade::depth-1`: One level of subagent calls
+- `cascade::depth-2`: Two levels of subagent calls
+- `cascade::depth-n`: Unlimited (orchestrator only)
+- Depth exceeded → add label `cascade::depth-exceeded`, lock issue
+
+## Security Rules
+
+- Agent MUST NOT modify `.kilo/` files without `permission::evolve-system`
+- Agent MUST NOT call subagents not in `allowed_subagents` list
+- Agent MUST NOT exceed `max_cascade_depth`
+- Violation → add label `permission::violation`, `is_locked = true`
+
+## Recovery
+
+If agent crashes or orchestrator restarts:
+
+1. Read issue body → parse checkpoint
+2. Read timeline → reconstruct events since last checkpoint
+3. Read comments → parse GNS_EVENT footers
+4. Resume from `next_agent` in checkpoint
+5. No state lost — everything is in Gitea
+
+## Prohibited Actions
+
+- DO NOT hold state in RAM without writing to Gitea
+- DO NOT skip comment footer
+- DO NOT skip checkpoint update
+- DO NOT exceed budget or depth limits
+- DO NOT modify checkpoint version
+- DO NOT hardcode APAW in API calls

+# 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. No `service_healthy` Conditions
+```yaml
+# PROBLEM: deadlock
+depends_on:
+  service:
+    condition: service_healthy  # Container waits for itself
+
+# FIX: allow startup, healthcheck as observer only  
+depends_on:
+  service:
+    condition: service_started
+```
+
+### 2. No Hardcoded Networks
+```yaml
+# PROBLEM: overlap
+networks:
+  gns-network:
+    ipam:
+      config:
+        - subnet: 172.28.0.0/16  # May conflict
+
+# FIX: Docker auto-assigns
+networks:
+  gns-network:
+    driver: bridge
+```
+
+### 3. Automatic Fallback Chains
+```typescript
+// Hybrid client: tries MCP first, falls back to REST, falls back to bash curl
+try {
+  result = await mcpClient.createIssue(...)
+} catch (mcpError) {
+  console.warn(`MCP failed: ${mcpError}`)
+  try {
+    result = await restClient.createIssue(...)
+  } catch (restError) {
+    console.warn(`REST failed: ${restError}`)
+    // Final fallback: bash curl (emergency only)
+    result = await bashCurl(...)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Pre-flight Validation
+Before starting containers, validate prerequisites:
+```bash
+# Check if port is free, if not use another
+curl -f http://localhost:3001/health || PORT=3002
+
+# Check network doesn't exist
+docker network ls | grep gns-network && docker network rm gns-network
+
+# Check env vars are set
+[ -z "$FORGEJO_TOKEN" ] && echo "WARNING: FORGEJO_TOKEN not set, using dummy value"
+```
+
+### 5. Self-Documenting Failures
+If process must stop, write explicit "why" and "what to do" to both:
+- Console output (human readable)
+- Gitea issue comment (machine readable, includes `GNS_EVENT`)
+
+```markdown
+## 🚫 Agent Blocked
+
+**Reason**: MCP server not reachable on localhost:3001
+**Action**: Run `docker compose -f docker/mcp-gitea/docker-compose.yml up -d`
+**Fallback**: Operations will use REST API until MCP is available
+```
+
+## Implementation Checklist
+
+For every new container/service:
+- [ ] Healthcheck probes a guaranteed endpoint (/tools, not /health if unstable)
+- [ ] No `service_healthy` conditions in depends_on
+- [ ] No hardcoded subnets or IPs
+- [ ] Environment variables have safe fallbacks for startup
+- [ ] Error boundaries in all async operations (try/catch)
+- [ ] Error messages include both "what happened" and "next step"
+- [ ] All operator-required steps are documented as checklist in issue body
+
+## GNS-2 Event Format for Failures
+
+```html
+<!-- GNS_EVENT: {
+  "type": "system_failure",
+  "failure_point": "mcp_container_startup",
+  "requires_operator": true,

+# Gitea MCP Connection Skill
+
+## Purpose
+Replace bash/curl Gitea API calls with native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server connection.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Agent → MCP Client → SSE Stream (port 3001) → MCP Gitea Server → Gitea API
+```
+
+## Setup
+
+### 1. Start MCP Gitea Container
+```bash
+docker-compose -f docker/mcp-gitea/docker-compose.yml up -d
+```
+
+### 2. Verify Connection
+```bash
+# Health check
+curl http://localhost:3001/health
+
+# List available tools
+curl http://localhost:3001/tools
+
+# Expected output (103 tools)
+[
+  {"name": "gitea_create_issue", "description": "..."},
+  {"name": "gitea_post_comment", "description": "..."},
+  {"name": "gitea_update_issue", "description": "..."},
+  {"name": "gitea_get_issue", "description": "..."},
+  {"name": "gitea_list_labels", "description": "..."},
+  {"name": "gitea_set_labels", "description": "..."},
+  {"name": "gitea_get_timeline", "description": "..."},
+  {"name": "gitea_lock_issue", "description": "..."},
+  {"name": "gitea_get_milestone", "description": "..."},
+  ...
+]
+```
+
+## Agent Migration
+
+### Before (bash curl)
+```bash
+# ❌ Inefficient, error-prone

+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"title":"...","body":"..."}'
+```
+
+### After (MCP tool call)
+```json
+// ✅ Native, type-safe, discoverable
+{
+  "tool": "gitea_create_issue",
+  "parameters": {
+    "owner": "UniqueSoft",
+    "repo": "APAW",
+    "title": "...",
+    "body": "...",

+## Security
+
+- Credentials stored in container env vars, never in agent prompts
+- No bash execution for Gitea API calls
+- Agent permissions change: `bash: ask` (was `allow`) for Gitea operations
+- Circuit breaker: `is_locked` prevents any MCP tool execution
+
+## Migration Checklist
+
+- [ ] `gitea-api.md` — migrate curl examples to MCP tool calls
+- [ ] `gitea-client.ts` — add MCP client wrapper
+- [ ] Agent permissions — remove `bash: allow` for Gitea, add `mcp: allow`
+- [ ] `init-gns-labels.py` — replace API calls with `gitea_create_label` tool
+- [ ] `validate-gns-agents.py` — add MCP tool availability check
+
+## Error Handling
+
+| Error | Cause | Action |
+|-------|-------|--------|
+| Connection refused | MCP container not running | `docker-compose up -d` |
+| 401 Unauthorized | Token missing | Check `GITEA_TOKEN` env var |
+| 404 Not Found | Issue/label not found | Verify issue number |
+| 422 Validation | Invalid parameters | Check tool schema |
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+# Start container
+docker-compose -f docker/mcp-gitea/docker-compose.yml up -d
+
+# Wait for health
+sleep 5
+
+# Test issue creation
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/tools/gitea_create_issue \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"owner":"UniqueSoft","repo":"APAW","title":"MCP Test","body":"Test body"}'
+
+# Test checkpoint
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/tools/gitea_update_checkpoint \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"owner":"UniqueSoft","repo":"APAW","issue_number":1,"checkpoint":{"version":2}}'

+## Два варианта MCP сервера
+
+### Вариант 1: Удалённый HTTP MCP (Docker)
+
+Запускается как Docker-контейнер и слушает HTTP на `localhost:3001`.
+
+```bash
+# Запуск
+docker compose -f docker/mcp-gitea/docker-compose.yml up -d
+
+# Проверка
+curl http://localhost:3001/health
+curl -H "Authorization: Bearer changeme" http://localhost:3001/mcp
+```
+
+**Проблема:** Kilo Code не поддерживает HTTP SSE transport напрямую. Поэтому этот режим используется только как fallback.
+
+### Вариант 2: Локальный stdio MCP (Рекомендуется)
+
+Запускается как дочерний процесс через `bunx @ric_/forgejo-mcp`. Общается через stdin/stdout по JSON-RPC.
+
+```bash
+# Установка (выполняется автоматически при первом bunx)
+bunx @ric_/forgejo-mcp --help
+
+# Запуск stdio сервера
+export FORGEJO_URL=https://git.softuniq.eu
+export FORGEJO_TOKEN=54822926dec114eaf1ef3ec5d7ff51c0e4ab40bf
+echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"initialize","params":{},"id":1}' | bunx @ric_/forgejo-mcp
+```
+
+## Как перезапустить
+
+1. **Перезапуск Docker контейнера (если нужен HTTP endpoint):**
+   ```bash
+   docker compose -f docker/mcp-gitea/docker-compose.yml restart
+   ```
+
+2. **Перезапуск stdio bridge:**
+   Stdio bridge не нуждается в перезапуске — он запускается как дочерний процесс для каждого вызова. Если нужно перезапустить среду:
+   ```bash
+   # Очистить кеш bunx
+   bunx --clear-cache @ric_/forgejo-mcp
+   # Перезапустить
+   bun scripts/mcp-gitea-stdio.cjs
+   ```
+
+3. **Полный рестарт (после обновления кода):**
+   ```bash
+   docker compose -f docker/mcp-gitea/docker-compose.yml down
+   docker compose -f docker/mcp-gitea/docker-compose.yml up -d
+   ```

+## Файлы проекта
+
+| Файл | Назначение |
+|------|------------|
+| `src/kilocode/agent-manager/mcp-gitea-client.ts` | `MCPGiteaStdioClient`, `MCPGiteaHttpClient`, `HybridGiteaClient` |
+| `scripts/mcp-gitea-stdio.cjs` | Обёртка для запуска `@ric_/forgejo-mcp` через stdin/stdout |
+| `scripts/e2e-mcp-stdio-test-v3.py` | E2E тест: initialize → tools/list → get_issue |
+| `docker/mcp-gitea/docker-compose.yml` | Docker-контейнер с HTTP MCP сервером |
+
+## Переменные окружения
+
+| Переменная | Значение по умолчанию | Описание |
+|------------|----------------------|----------|
+| `FORGEJO_URL` | `https://git.softuniq.eu` | URL Gitea/Forgejo инстанса |
+| `FORGEJO_TOKEN` | — | Bearer токен или пароль для Basic Auth |
+| `MCP_STDIO_COMMAND` | `bun scripts/mcp-gitea-stdio.cjs` | Команда для запуска stdio bridge |
+| `MCP_GITEA_URL` | `http://localhost:3001` | URL HTTP MCP fallback |
+
+## Использование в коде
+
+```typescript
+import { MCPGiteaStdioClient } from "./mcp-gitea-client"
+
+const client = new MCPGiteaStdioClient()
+await client.connect()
+
+// Получить issue
+const issue = await client.callTool("get_issue", {
+  owner: "UniqueSoft",
+  repo: "APAW",
+  index: 110
+})
+
+// Создать комментарий
+await client.callTool("create_issue_comment", {
+  owner: "UniqueSoft",
+  repo: "APAW",
+  index: 110,
+  body: "## ✅ MCP Stdio Test\nAll tests passed."
+})
+```
+
+## Проверка работоспособности
+
+```bash
+cd /home/swp/Projects/APAW
+python3 scripts/e2e-mcp-stdio-test-v3.py
+```
+
+Ожидаемый результат: `✅ ALL E2E MCP STDIO TESTS PASSED`
+
+## Отличие от плагина Kilo Code
+
+**MCP сервер НЕ встроен в плагин Kilo Code.** Вместо этого:
+
+1. **Kilo Code запускает** `@ric_/forgejo-mcp` как внешний stdio процесс через Node.js `child_process.spawn`.
+2. **Плагин Kilo Code** использует `MCPGiteaStdioClient` который порождает этот процесс и общается с ним по JSON-RPC через stdin/stdout.
+3. **forgejo-mcp** сам делает HTTP вызовы к Gitea API с Bearer токеном.
+
+Это соответствует спецификации MCP 2024-11-05 transport: stdio для локальных процессов, HTTP SSE для удалённых серверов.
