fix: close MRTR write-cap leaks and make the search corpus self-heal - #391
Conversation
Follow-ups from the 4.0.0 review round, plus the gaps found reviewing them. MRTR sweep -- the liveness disjunct had no ceiling, so a worker hard-killed outside its catch stranded its claimId in LIVE_WRITE_EXECUTIONS, pinning its record and counting against the concurrent-write cap until recompile. Two strandings refuse every write on the hub. The record loop now uses the two horizons the sibling lease sweep already used for this exact failure, and drops the stranded marker with its record. MRTR_WORK_ITEMS had no sweep at all: an item whose worker never fired retained a full copy of the call arguments (driver source, a whole patch list) for the life of the class. It is now reaped by claim identity, so a superseded claim frees its payload immediately rather than aging out. _mrtrCleanupRecord keyed work-item removal on rec.claimId, which _mrtrRecordSlice strips from a between-slices record -- a silent no-op at most of its call sites. That coupling is removed; the sweep is the single owner. _mrtrSweep() had no production callers and is deleted. A rule re-queued for retry landed in results[] once per attempt, so a rule that succeeded on retry still reported as failed. Results collapse per rule at bank time, keeping the durable record correct at rest, and the continuation-limit terminal now returns the per-rule ledger it was discarding instead of telling the caller to inspect hub state by hand. The BM25 search corpus invalidated on a version stamp, but contributors cannot bump the version -- so every pre-release description, title or search-hint change carried the same version as the cache it needed to invalidate, and could not be verified on a hub at all. It now uses a content fingerprint, the remedy requiredParamsByTool() already used for this. hub_list_files' filter argument was reachable only by spending a catalog call, and was undocumented in the served tool guide and README. Tests: new e2e and BAT scenarios for the multi-rule aggregation contract; a guard pinning plain comma-separated Args: lists to inputSchema.properties; HarnessSpec clears the two write-cap statics so specs cannot inherit them.

HarnessSpec.setup()clears class-static fixture maps before every feature, so specs do not need to explicitly releaseLIVE_WRITE_EXECUTIONSorMRTR_WORK_ITEMSthemselves unless a specific feature requires it.
Length-prefix every fingerprint field. Plain delimiters were ambiguous because summaries genuinely contain them (an alternatives list reads "source|sourceFile|importUrl"), so content could impersonate a field boundary and two different catalogs could fingerprint identically -- serving the stale corpus the fingerprint exists to invalidate. Scope the hints-only probe to hub_list_files' own gateway row and to exactly the fields a gateway row indexes: name, title, the composed "summary [gateway description]", and param keys -- never the leaf description, which a gateway row does not index. The token is not absent everywhere as first written (hub_get_logs' summary says "source (substring)"); per-entry scoping is what makes the assertion discriminating, since BM25 scores each row independently. Adds the missing positive pin that the token really does come from searchHints. Correct a stale rationale left above the corpus-rebuild spec: the content fingerprint, not the retired version stamp, forces the rebuild.

Review of the previous commits found the record-loop ceiling was a regression, not a fix. Detached workers strip __reqT0, so _timeBudgetExceeded is permanently false for them and their slices are time-unbounded by design; nothing refreshes expiresAt while one runs. Any ceiling measured from expiresAt therefore fires under a genuinely running worker -- evicting the record it needs to store its terminal, so the client gets "Invalid or expired requestState" for a write that already mutated the hub, and freeing its write-cap slot so a second write can interleave on the same classic-app page. The stranded marker it was meant to reap needs a hard kill outside the catch; this fired on any slow write. The disjunct is uncapped again, with a comment saying a ceiling needs a worker heartbeat first. A continuation tail that narrows to one rule takes the leaf's scalar path, which reports the outcome top-level and emits no results[] row -- so the last rule vanished from the ledger, and a failure there returned success:false with nothing in failedRuleIds. Normalized at every merge site. partial now means some-actioned-some-not, matching the leaf and the outputSchema, instead of any-failure: an all-failed batch is a failure, not a partial one. A spec pinning the old shape is corrected and paired with a mixed-outcome case. The continuation-limit terminal carries remainingRuleIds, an explicit partial, and the mrtr provenance block consumers read. The corpus fingerprint accumulates a rolling hash instead of building a ~98 KB string on every search call, walks the catalog once by taking the defs its caller already fetched, and folds in a tokenizer-shape probe so a tokenizer change invalidates too. A new spec fails if it stops discriminating. The Groovy 2.5 lane's scaffold harness overrides the root one and was missing the two static clears, in the same change that documents that lane as a required gate.

2632-2637: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winExtract the repeated call_rule banking pattern into one helper.
The same three-line pattern appears at three sites: build the prior
aggregate.results/cappedAgg.resultslist defensively, collapse it with the current round's rows via_mrtrCollapseRuleResults(... + _mrtrRuleResultRows(...)), then unionruleIdsthe same way. Site 1 is in_mrtrRecordSlice(Lines 2632-2637), site 2 is the continuation-limit branch in_mrtrCommitSlice(Lines 2699-2705), site 3 is_mrtrAggregateTerminal(Lines 2751-2755).Extract a private helper, e.g.
_mrtrBankRuleResults(Map aggregate, resultLike)returning[results: ..., ruleIds: ...], and call it from all three sites. This removes the duplicated defensive-cast boilerplate and keeps the three call sites in lockstep if the banking formula changes again.Also applies to: 2695-2725, 2751-2765

Every new MCP tool must explicitly provide read-only, destructive, idempotent, and open-world annotation classifications through the central annotation machinery.
Read/write permission enforcement must remain centralized at theexecuteTool()dispatch chokepoint; advanced overrides may only disable tools, never re-enable them.

The same merge appeared at three sites -- bank time, the continuation cap, and the terminal.

hub_list_files and hub_read_file are both in _readOnlyToolNames_partFiles, so the central executeTool gate blocks them when the Read master is off.

The per-leg ceiling exists to prove the server answers before the cloud relay gives up, but it was measured over every physical attempt -- including legs the relay dropped. A 504 IS the relay giving up, so its duration is the relay's timeout rather than ours, and counting it there failed the run for the transport doing exactly what MRTR is built to absorb. The helper already contradicted itself on this: its docstring says http_legs includes a safely replayed transport failure, and unsafe_replays deliberately whitelists 5xx as safe. Observed twice on a live hub, same shape both times: five legs answered between 4.4s and 8.6s, one dropped at 10.039s and replayed successfully on the next leg at 3.045s/200. 105 of 106 tests passed around it. The ceiling now covers answered legs only. Relay drops are absorbed but not ignored -- a new bound fails when drops outnumber clean completions, so a server tripping the relay as a rule is still caught, and the count is reported so a run leaning on replays is visible while still passing. The sibling summarize_mrtr_proof in sdk_conformance_helpers is deliberately left alone: it asserts every leg returns 2xx before its own ceiling check, so the official-SDK proof holds the stricter contract on purpose.

98-171: MRTR ceiling/relay-drop reclassification looks correct.The split into
decoded_responses,relay_dropped, anddecoded_leg_secondscorrectly narrows the per-leg ceiling to legs the server actually answered, while therelay_droppedcount still bounds excessive replay reliance relative todecoded_responses. Thedecoded_leg_seconds and max(...)guard avoids callingmax()on an empty sequence, and the fallbackmax(decoded_leg_seconds, default=0.0)in the message keeps the failure message safe too. This matches the paired unit tests intests/test_e2e_test_helpers.py.

hub_call_rule stop/start is limiter-susceptible -- the sibling lifecycle test wraps the identical action in _clear_load_throttle bounce-and-retry for exactly that reason. _run_one's generic retry only matches a 50[0-3] status, which an "excessive hub load" McpToolError never carries, so without this the new test fails outright rather than flake-retrying under the load the suite itself generates. The two rule-health reads are polled rather than read once, for the same limiter and for the asynchronous stopped-label decoration the sibling's own poll helper documents.

Reviewed the full diff at 0d81978, and deployed the PR head to a live hub to exercise the changed surfaces directly — both apps landed char-exact, single bundle entity, 19 libraries, no duplicates. I also drove the MRTR path itself against the running hub with a modern-era (2026-07-28) client, so the continuation behaviour below is observed rather than inferred.
The direction is right on every axis: one merge formula instead of three copies, sweep-owns-lifetime instead of a cleanup coupling that was a no-op for most callers, and a content fingerprint instead of a version stamp contributors cannot bump. Things I checked and found sound: _mrtrSweepWorkItemsLocked's lock discipline and every insert/remove site; the sweep-after-record-loop ordering against _writeStateSetLocked's cache write; _mrtrCollapseRuleResults' first-appearance/last-value ordering (Groovy [:] is a LinkedHashMap, re-put keeps position); and the fingerprint's field coverage against buildToolSearchCorpus.
Two live confirmations worth recording, both on the PR head:
- The corpus fix works. On a same-version deploy with no
updated(),hub_search_tools("substring")went from not matchinghub_list_filesat all to ranking it first. That is precisely the case a version stamp cannot see, and it is the argument for the whole change. - MRTR continuation works. A budget-aware, non-detached call spanned four server-side slices and returned one stitched terminal (
mrtr: {continued: true, rounds: 4}), with the cloner app reclaimed. ThewalkStepdrive and the P2c single-step authoring path (navigate → three writes →actionDone, everyvalueEcho.match: true) both committed clean, with the post-RE action landing top-level and noBroken Condition.
Six things before merge.
1. The multi-rule terminal still reports a top-level ruleId naming only the tail rule
hubitat-mcp-server.groovy:2741-2764
_mrtrAggregateTerminal starts from out = [:] + result. When a continuation tail narrows to a single id the leaf takes its scalar path and sets a top-level ruleId — the same shape this PR normalizes everywhere else. remainingRuleIds is stripped at :2764; ruleId is not. So a four-rule batch returns ruleId: 14 alongside ruleIds: [11,12,13,14], against an outputSchema that declares it "present when exactly one" (libraries/mcp-native-rules-lib.groovy:57).
This is the most reachable finding here — one budget pause plus a tail of one, so roughly a ten-rule batch. Stating the limit honestly: I confirmed the mechanism by reading the code and the PR's own comment describing the scalar-tail path, but I did not force this exact shape on the hub, so it is unverified live. The new "continuation tail that narrows to one rule still contributes its row" spec passes with the stale ruleId present, so it does not cover it either.
out.remove("remainingRuleIds")
if ((out.ruleIds instanceof List) && out.ruleIds.size() > 1) out.remove("ruleId")2. _mrtrRuleResultRows drops note, and the row has two hand-rolled producers
hubitat-mcp-server.groovy:2987-2995
_rmToggleStopped emits [success, ruleId, rmAction, note?, error?]; the synthesizer allowlists ruleId/success/rmAction?/error?. I hit the dropped field live — a no-op stop returns note: "Rule was already stopped -- stopRule button not clicked.", and that explanation disappears when the same outcome arrives via a scalar tail. rmAction: "noop" still carries the signal today, but the allowlist guarantees that every field added to the leaf row from here on vanishes silently from cross-slice ledgers with nothing red.
One line for now (if (result.note != null) row.note = result.note). The durable fix is to have the leaf's single-id stop/start path emit results: [row] alongside its scalar echo, so the row has exactly one producer.
3. capped.partial is structurally always true, and contradicts the definition this PR establishes 40 lines later
hubitat-mcp-server.groovy:2716 vs :2759
capped.partial = !banked.isEmpty() // :2716
out.partial = !failed.isEmpty() && failed.size() < out.results.size() // :2759Reaching the cap requires a continuation, which requires a budget pause, which requires at least one banked row — so banked is never empty and the field carries no information. It is also wrong in the case that matters: an all-failed capped batch reports partial: true, while the identical all-failed outcome through the ordinary terminal reports false. That is the inconsistency the :2752-2758 comment says it is removing, and it contradicts the outputSchema wording ("some rules actioned, some failed or not yet reached"), the leaf formula, and T666's own Expected text added in this PR.
On severity, I traced reachability rather than assuming it. Continuation is gated on result.remainingRuleIds being non-empty (:2566), and that is written only on a pause — failures alone do not drive it. So the cap needs eight consecutive pauses, on the order of 60-90 rules in one call. Low likelihood, and I am not claiming otherwise. It is still a one-line fix in new code that states the opposite of its own comment:
capped.partial = banked.any { it instanceof Map && it.success == true }4. The continuation_limit branch has no test anywhere in the repo
grep -rl continuation_limit matches one file, the server itself — before and after this PR. The diff adds ~30 lines of new envelope construction there (results, ruleIds, failedRuleIds, remainingRuleIds, partial, mrtr). All four new call_rule specs call _mrtrAggregateTerminal directly; nothing in the suite reaches _mrtrCommitSlice.
_mrtrBankRuleResults' own header names three sites that must stay in lockstep — bank, cap, terminal. Two are covered. The uncovered one is where finding 3 lives, which is the argument for the test rather than an aside.
5. Narrowing the e2e ceiling to decoded legs leaves 2xx-undecodable legs unaccounted
tests/e2e_test.py:118-124
The stated rationale is "legs the server actually answered", but the predicate is decoded, not answered. A leg with a 2xx status whose body fails to JSON-decode is excluded from decoded_leg_seconds, excluded from relay_dropped (status is neither None nor 5xx), and passes unsafe_replays. Before this change it was in leg_seconds and would have tripped the ceiling.
Reachable, not theoretical: _send retries JSONDecodeError specifically to absorb "transient Cloudflare HTML error pages on cloud endpoints under load", legs are recorded in a finally with the real status, and the decoded marker tags only the attempt's final leg. A relay HTML page served with a 200 under load — the exact condition this proof measures — vanishes from both guards. Gate on status is not None and 200 <= status < 300, or fold 2xx-undecoded legs into relay_dropped.
6. The PR description's HarnessSpec justification does not match the base commit
The body states the scaffold HarnessSpec "was missing two static clears, so the two required lanes were running different fixture-reset contracts". At the merge base both files carry exactly MRTR_TERMINAL_EVIDENCE, WRITE_REQUEST_LEASES and RM_BASELINE_HANDLES — root at 322/326/329, scaffold at 239/243/246. The lanes were running identical contracts; the diff adds the two new clears to both, which is right. Only the stated reason is wrong, and it is worth correcting in the body before merge.
Same pass
libraries/mcp-discovery-lib.groovy:14-16— the retained comment still reads "The cache is a pure function of the static tool surface ... so app-update invalidation is sufficient", three lines above the new comment establishing that a code deploy does not fireupdated(). It is the first thing a reader hits and it now states the opposite of the change. "Both entries" is stale too;updated()clears three.libraries/mcp-discovery-lib.groovy:128-133— thetoolSearchCorpusFingerprintheader says it "only concatenates" the three sources and is "Kept as the raw string ... exactly likerequiredParamsCatalogFingerprint". It does neither: it folds a 64-bit rolling hash and returnsLong.toString(h). Contradicted 30 lines down by_fpField's own accurate comment. Worth stating the real residual too — moving from exact string equality to a 64-bit hash admits collisions regardless of field framing, which the length-prefix rationale does not address.hubitat-mcp-server.groovy:2977-2986— the collapse contract (last-entry-per-ruleId, first-appearance ordering, unkeyed handling) is documented on_mrtrRuleResultRows, which implements none of it. It describes_mrtrCollapseRuleResultsat:3010, which carries no comment. Splitting it also resolves the two-paragraph docblock against the Code style rule.hubitat-mcp-server.groovy:2297-2301— "_mrtrSweepWorkItemsLockedowns item lifetime" reads as an enumeration of removal sites, but two others remove fromMRTR_WORK_ITEMS(:2860-2865,:2920-2925). It is the only reclamation owner; one word fixes it.libraries/mcp-discovery-lib.groovy:30-31, 134-176— the fingerprint moved the cache-hit path from oneatomicStatestring compare to a fullgetAllToolDefinitions()+applyDescriptionTransform+getToolDisplayMeta()+getGatewayConfig()walk plus a per-character loop over the ~98 KB the PR itself cites, on everyhub_search_toolscall. The body addresses materialization, not that the walk is now unconditional; the comment two lines above still says "build-once/read-many ... resource-constrained hub". The sibling precedent is weaker than it looks —requiredParamsCatalogFingerprinttouches onlyinputSchema.required. Memoizing in a@groovy.transform.Field staticrestores the hot path, and a code deploy recompiles the class, which is precisely the invalidation event the fingerprint exists for.tests/e2e_test.py:4760-4763— the limiter shim cites the sibling lifecycle test as precedent, but the sibling documents the opposite conclusion: it adds a read-side poll after bounce+retry because "bounce+retry still failed here". This test stops at bounce+retry and hard-assertsnot limited.tests/BAT-v2.mdT666 — "the envelope the client reads is assembled by the continuation aggregator, not returned by the leaf" overstates it. On a single-slice callrec.aggregateis absent, so_mrtrAggregateTerminal'scall_rulecase never runs and the leaf's result passes through untouched. Confirmed live: a two-rule call returnedmrtr: {continued: true, rounds: 1}carrying the leaf's own rows with thenotefield intact. The e2e docstring is honest about this scope limit; the BAT entry should match it.
The stitched multi-rule terminal kept fields the leaf scopes to a single
slice: ruleId named the tail rule, rmAction counted only that slice's rules
("stopRule toggle x2" for a batch of four), and the leaf's error sentence
miscounted the same way. All three are dropped before the verdict is
rebuilt, so the per-rule rows carry the batch-wide truth. A single-rule
terminal keeps its ruleId, pinned separately.
_mrtrRuleResultRows allowlisted the row's fields and so dropped note --
where a no-op stop explains itself -- and would drop whatever the leaf adds
next with nothing red. It now excludes the envelope-level keys instead.
capped.partial was structurally always true and reported an all-failed
capped batch as partial while the identical outcome through the ordinary
terminal reported a plain failure. The formula now matches the leaf's, with
the reason the cap's differs from the terminal's stated: rules never
reached always exist at the cap and never at the terminal.
The continuation cap discarded everything for walk_steps, bulk_edit and
patches, and for call_rule its note sent the caller to inspect the hub by
hand. It now hands back the aggregate for every kind and names the re-issue
set (failed plus never-reached), so an agent cannot re-run the un-reached
ids and strand the failed ones. The per-kind merge moved into one
_mrtrMergeAggregate used by the bank AND the cap -- merging by two paths is
how the cap came to return an aggregate one round stale, re-applying work
already committed -- and patches now banks its rollback handle, which the
note previously promised without storing.
ruleIds deduped by string, matching the collapse. priorIds is read back
from atomicState while roundIds arrives live, and ruleIds.size() now
decides whether the terminal keeps its top-level ruleId, so type drift
would strip a legitimately single-rule envelope's field.
The corpus fingerprint memo moved out of the lock-guarded static block it
was orphaning a docblock inside, and states that it is deliberately
unsynchronized. _fpField uses String.hashCode() instead of a hand-rolled
character loop: nothing here is @CompileStatic, so spelling out ~98 KB by
hand is order 10^5 sandbox-intercepted dispatches on the first search after
every deploy. The tokenizer probe now runs a synthetic entry through the
same two functions the real tokenize line uses, so a field-template edit
invalidates -- probing the tokenizer on a bare literal covered the split
only. A spec pins that the memo is actually populated.
The e2e ceiling and the relay-drop bound now partition every leg. Gating on
decoded, or excusing a null status, each dropped a leg out of both guards --
a 2xx behind an HTML error page, and a client that gave up with no response,
are both cases whose duration is ours. Only 502/503/504 count as the relay
giving up.
The same treatment reaches sdk_conformance_helpers, which hard-failed any
non-2xx: the identical relay drop would have redded the required gate one
lane over.
Docs: T666 no longer lists a behaviour as a failure mode that the cap
deliberately emits, docs/testing.md no longer states a per-leg rule this
change made untrue, and e2e_scope maps this file to native_apps so a future
edit to the aggregation selects the lane that guards it.

| The MRTR proof keeps the SDK's default `input_required_max_rounds=10`. Observer-only `httpx2` hooks mark the measured `Client.call_tool()` window and retain only method, modern MCP routing headers, status, monotonic timing, and a derived `has_request_state` boolean — never URL, token, state value, arguments, or body. The proof requires an initial leg without state followed only by state-bearing automatic continuation legs, at least three `tools/call` legs total, a successful terminal `result_type='complete'`, aggregate duration over 10 seconds, and every leg the SERVER ANSWERED below 9.5 seconds. A leg the cloud relay drops (502/503/504) is replayed by the SDK and is excluded from that ceiling -- its duration is the relay's timeout, not the server's -- but drops may not outnumber answered legs, so a server tripping the relay as a rule still fails. It reports the continuation count and unchanged SDK limit so consumers with a lower cap can evaluate compatibility. `hub_set_rule` and `hub_set_native_app` run their claimed generation in an internal Hubitat worker after the mapped request has returned; continuation legs therefore include at least one coordination handoff rather than only completed owner slices. The terminal payload must report at least one owner slice and fewer owner slices than observed continuation rounds, and the log reports the difference explicitly. After that timing window, a separate high-level read fetches `hub_get_app_config(includeSettings=true)` and requires exactly six `messageActs/getLogMsg` action rows whose numeric `logmsg.<N>` values are the six requested distinct messages, in order, with no extra action or message row. | ||
|
|
||
| The regular E2E runner also has one protocol mode: `HubitatMcpClient` derives `MCP-Protocol-Version: 2026-07-28`, `Mcp-Method`, and any required `Mcp-Name` for every standard request. Connectivity and capabilities use `server/discover`; the live suite never calls `initialize`, sends a headerless request, or selects a legacy revision. Negative raw transport tests may deliberately send malformed or unsupported modern headers, but none exercise legacy behavior. Its project-owned transport may replay an exact MRTR round-zero or state-bearing POST after a lost HTTP response: round zero is mutation-free, and the server coalesces an exact active binding onto its existing `requestState`. It still never transport-replays an ordinary write. This recovery is additional E2E behavior, not a claim that the official SDK retries HTTP 504 responses. | ||
|
|
||
| The ordinary `mrtr` E2E group independently repeats the six-action Rule Machine edit through `HubitatMcpClient`. Its existing automatic `requestState` path must reach terminal `complete` after multiple continuation rounds, return all six successful action results, take more than 10 seconds as one logical call, and keep each measured HTTP POST below 9.5 seconds. It applies the same positive-owner-count/fewer-than-continuations invariant as the official SDK proof. Outside that call's timing window, it independently makes the same authoritative raw-settings read through its normal gateway path and applies the exact six-row/value assertion. This regular lane does not depend on the official-SDK scenario passing (and the SDK scenario does not consume the regular client's telemetry). | ||

All six addressed, and I verified each against the code rather than taking the summary. I also deployed 6e43e06 to a live hub and exercised the walker and continuation paths there.
Three places you went further than I proposed, and in each case the version you shipped is the better one.
The note denylist is the right shape. My one-liner would have needed remembering again the next time the leaf grew a field, which is the same failure the allowlist had already produced once.
Your capped.partial reasoning is more accurate than mine. I proposed the formula without noticing that reaching the cap requires a non-empty remainingRuleIds, so un-actioned rules always exist there and one success is genuinely some-actioned-some-not. Unifying the two sites on the terminal's formula — which I might have argued for — would have reported an unfinished batch as complete. The comment now saying so is worth more than the fix.
Extending the cap ledger past call_rule is the finding I should have made. My report scoped it to call_rule because that is where I was reading, not because the other kinds were fine.
I also missed the ruleIds .unique { it?.toString() } change, and it matters: ruleIds.size() now gates the ruleId strip, so Integer/String drift between a state-read list and a live one could have stripped the field off a legitimately single-rule envelope. Extending the strip to rmAction and error is right for the same root cause, and the ordering note is load-bearing — stripping after the verdict would have let the leaf's slice-scoped error survive the if (!out.error) guard.
On the SDK proof: take the relaxation. I checked it against 2026-07-28 rather than assuming. Transport retry after a gateway drop is outside the spec's scope — no MCP message was exchanged — and where the spec does address replay it puts the burden on the server, which this one already meets by coalescing an exact active binding rather than re-executing. The assertion that actually guards against a replay double-applying is the exact six-row/six-value/in-order read after the timing window, and that is untouched. A required gate that reds on the transport doing what MRTR exists to absorb is a false signal.
Live results
The walker path (T611), on the PR head. The Required Expression committed both conditions through the STPage walker (modes1 plus xVar_2/RelrDev_2/state_2, settingsSkipped: []); the ifThen committed the same Mode check through the doActPage walker (rCapab_4, modes4); the rule rendered Mode is Night AND Variable ... is > 0 and IF (Mode is Night) THEN / END-IF, with no broken markers, no placeholder and no Broken Condition. A 24-step walkStep drive ran clean. No 504s anywhere in the session.
The continuation machinery works where it matters. A hub_clone_native_app completed across four server-side slices (mrtr: {continued: true, rounds: 4}) and returned one stitched terminal with the cloner app reclaimed. Detached hub_set_rule work — the walkStep editing that motivated #388 — returned terminal envelopes with no relay failures throughout.
But the call_rule slicing path did not trigger at any realistic size. I built batches of 8, 16, 24, 32, 48 and 64 real hub_call_rule toggles against a live hub and every one completed in a single slice (mrtr.rounds: 1). At 64 the call was 12.5s wall, but wall time is dominated by relay latency and the server-side round still finished under relayBudgetMs. Measured cost settled around 0.2s per toggle server-side. Nobody stops 64 rules in one call, so in practice the cross-slice call_rule code is not reached.
That reframes three of my six findings rather than retracting them. Findings 1, 3 and 4 all live on the cross-slice call_rule path: the multi-rule terminal strip needs a continuation to fire at all, and the continuation_limit envelope needs eight consecutive pauses on top of that. The fixes are correct and worth keeping — an envelope that misreports is worth fixing whether or not it is common — but I should have measured reachability before ranking them, instead of calling the first one "the most reachable finding here" on an unmeasured estimate. It is the least reachable of the three code paths I flagged.
The corollary is the more useful half: the parts of this machinery that carry real load are detachment (for long wizard writes, the actual 504 fix) and budget slicing for clone/import, and both are demonstrably working on a live hub.
One finding for the record
The patches rollback-handle banking (aggregate.backup, new in 6e43e06) is inert. I could not reach it from a modern client: patches is produced only by tools #388 detached, detached work has __reqT0 stripped, and the single budget-pause site is gated on that clock — so the kind never continues and the merge case never runs. Same for walk_steps and bulk_edit, which predate this PR. Live, a 24-step walkStep drive ran in one slice under a modern client where the same drive paused mid-way under a legacy one.
No action needed. It is a null check inside a switch case that does not execute, so there is no runtime or size cost, and it is correct if a producer ever becomes non-detached. The generic cap branch beside it is live, via the non-detached clone_native_app / import_native_app.
Coverage note
The continuation_limit envelope and the multi-rule terminal strip remain unit-tested only. I did not reach either on a hub — the strip needs a call_rule continuation I could not force at 64 rules, and the cap needs eight of them. The new specs are what carry both, which given the reachability above is the proportionate place for that coverage to live.

release:patch
## Summary - Extends the existing `hub_call_device_command` tool with a mutually exclusive `commands` batch form for up to 20 mixed device commands in one request, reducing MCP round trips while the hub continues to execute commands serially. - Validates the complete batch before dispatch, preserves request ordering, continues after per-entry runtime failures, and returns ordered per-device outcomes with aggregate counts. - Preserves the existing single-device contract and builds additively on current 4.0.1 `main`; no recent 4.0/4.0.1 production changes are reverted. ## Type of change - [x] `feat` — new feature or capability - [ ] `fix` — bug fix - [ ] `chore` — maintenance, dependency bump, or housekeeping - [ ] `refactor` — code restructure with no behaviour change - [ ] `docs` — documentation only - [ ] `test` — tests only - [ ] `ci` — CI/CD pipeline change ## Changes - **Batch contract:** `hub_call_device_command` now accepts either the existing `deviceId` + `command` form or a `commands` array, never both. Each batch entry supports `deviceId`, `command`, and optional `parameters`. - **Validation and execution:** batches are limited to 20 entries and structurally validated in full before any command is sent. Runtime failures remain isolated per entry, later entries still run, and results stay in request order. - **Results and confirmation:** responses include aggregate `success`, `sentCount`, and `failedCount` data. Batch mode does not accept `waitFor`; callers can use the multi-device form of `hub_get_device_attribute` for bounded confirmation. - **Device implementation:** `libraries/mcp-devices-lib.groovy` contains the batch schema, validation, dispatch, failure accounting, and guide metadata. - **Server integration:** `hubitat-mcp-server.groovy` routes both argument forms through the existing tool and updates gateway discovery and search hints without adding a top-level tool or changing tool counts. - **4.0.1 integration:** current 4.0.1 `main` is an ancestor of the branch. The implementation uses the current existing-tool architecture, retains the MRTR and search-corpus changes from #391, and removes the accidental README version-history edit. - **Documentation:** `README.md`, `TOOL_GUIDE.md`, and both agent skills document limits, serialized actuation, per-entry failures, confirmation polling, and when Hubitat groups/scenes remain preferable. - **Coverage:** `ToolDeviceBasicsSpec` covers dispatch, ordering, parameters, prevalidation, partial failures, unsupported commands, limits, conflicting forms, and gateway/flat modes. `tests/e2e_test.py` covers heterogeneous live dispatch, partial failure, limiter handling, and the no-partial-send guarantee. - **MRTR compatibility:** `MrtrContinuationSpec` uses the six-argument dispatch signature (the relay time-budget clock rides as the sixth argument) required by the current server. ## Release Notes - `hub_call_device_command` can now send up to 20 mixed device commands in one call with `commands`, returning ordered per-device outcomes and aggregate success counts. ## Testing - The two focused `MrtrContinuationSpec` regression cases pass. - `python -m pytest -q tests/test_e2e_test_helpers.py`: 93 passed. - `python tests/sandbox_lint.py`: 0 errors, 0 warnings. - `python -m py_compile tests/e2e_test.py`: passed. - `git diff --check`: passed. - All completed offline GitHub checks are green on `e1409dc8`, including the four Gradle matrix lanes and the Groovy 2.5 Spock retry after a transient Maven Central 403. - Focused live-hub E2E run `32478713964`: 109/109 tests passed; SDK conformance, package dry-run validation, restoration, cleanup, and lease release passed. - Required full live-hub E2E run `32483925635` is in progress. - The full Gradle suite was intentionally not run locally on the constrained device; GitHub CI provides that coverage. ## Checklist - [x] **Unit tests added for any new MCP tools, regressions, or bug fixes** (required — see [docs/testing.md](docs/testing.md) for the harness + recipes) - [x] **e2e tests added for new tools and/or regression tests added for any bug fix** (see `tests/e2e_test.py`) - [x] Sandbox lint passes: `python tests/sandbox_lint.py` - [x] `./gradlew test` passes locally (or CI confirms) - [x] Live-hub BAT tests updated if tool behaviour changed (see `tests/BAT-v2.md`) - [x] Documentation updated if user-facing behaviour or tool surface changed - [x] New/renamed MCP tools follow `AGENTS.md` Tool Design Rules (naming, annotations, schema) <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **New Features** - Added multi-device command batching with ordered results, per-device outcomes, aggregate counts, and partial-failure reporting. - Batches can stop before time limits and return untried commands for later retry. - Integral numeric device IDs and normalized string parameters are supported. - **Bug Fixes** - Improved validation and handling of malformed, failed, and bypassed commands. - Clarified that batch results omit state snapshots; use attribute polling to confirm device state. - **Documentation** - Expanded guidance on batching, retries, performance, file filtering, access controls, and multi-device confirmation. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: kingpanther13 <25392815+kingpanther13@users.noreply.github.com>

Queued work items are swept.
MRTR_WORK_ITEMSwas the one MRTR structure with noreclamation — an item whose
runMrtrSlicenever fired (the scheduler dropped the job) kept afull copy of the call arguments, driver source or a whole patch list, for the life of the class.
It is now swept by claim identity against the live record map, so an item is released the moment
its record is gone, no longer active, or has moved on to a later claim. An age ceiling could not
see that last case.
_mrtrCleanupRecordkeyed a work-item removal onrec.claimId, but it is handed recordsnapshots and a between-slices record carries no
claimId(_mrtrRecordSlicestrips it), sothat branch was a no-op for most callers. The coupling is removed rather than patched — the
sweep is the single owner of item lifetime.
_mrtrSweep()had no production callers and isdeleted.
A note on what this deliberately does NOT change. The record loop's
executing ||disjunctstays uncapped. A hard kill outside the
catchcan strand a claimId inLIVE_WRITE_EXECUTIONS,and capping the disjunct looks like the fix — but detached tools strip
__reqT0, so_timeBudgetExceededis permanently false for them and their slices are time-unbounded bydesign, and nothing refreshes
expiresAtwhile one runs. Any ceiling measured fromexpiresAttherefore fires under a genuinely running worker: it evicts the record the worker needs to
store its terminal (the client then gets
Invalid or expired requestStatefor a write thatalready mutated the hub) and frees its write-cap slot so a second write can interleave on the
same classic-app page. Closing that leak safely needs a worker heartbeat that refreshes
expiresAt, so "live but expired" can mean dead. The code carries a comment to that effect.Per-rule aggregation.
_mrtrContinuationre-queuesfailedRuleIds + remainingRuleIds, so aretried rule landed in
results[]twice — the banked failure and the retry outcome — and thebanked failure still drove
successandfailedRuleIds. Results now collapse to the last entryper ruleId at bank time, matching the
.unique()already on the adjacentruleIdsline, whichalso stops the durable record growing by a row per attempt per slice.
A continuation tail that narrows to a single rule takes the leaf's scalar path, which reports the
outcome top-level and emits no
results[]row at all — the natural tail of any paginated batch.That rule was silently missing from the ledger, and if it failed the envelope returned
success: falsewith nothing infailedRuleIds, naming no culprit. Normalized at every mergesite.
partialnow means some actioned, some not, matching the leaf's own definition and the tool'soutputSchema, rather than any failure: an all-failed batch is a failure, not a partial one.Previously an identical hub outcome reported differently depending on whether a budget pause
happened to occur.
The
continuation_limitterminal built an envelope with noresults/ruleIds/failedRuleIdsat all, so on the one path where the batch was large enough to hit the cap it discarded the
per-rule ledger it was holding and told the caller to inspect hub state by hand. It now returns
that ledger, plus
remainingRuleIds(failed and not-yet-reached are different sets), an explicitpartial, and themrtrprovenance block consumers read.Search corpus staleness.
toolSearchToolsrebuilt its BM25 corpus only whentoolSearchCorpusVersion != currentVersion(). Version strings are bot-only (AGENTS.md §Boundaries) and a code deploy does not fire
updated()— so every pre-release change to adescription, title or search hint carried the same version as the cache it needed to invalidate,
and could not be validated on the e2e hub or a dev hot-patch at all. Replaced with a content
fingerprint, the same remedy
requiredParamsByTool()already carries for its own same-versiondeploy problem. It accumulates a rolling hash rather than materializing the ~98 KB concatenation
on every search call, takes the defs its caller already fetched so the catalog is walked once,
and folds in a tokenizer-shape probe — the cached tokens are only length-checked, so a tokenizer
change would otherwise leave the hub serving tokens built by the old one.
Discoverability.
hub_list_files'filterwas reachable only by spending a gateway catalogcall, and appeared in neither the served tool guide nor the README. Named in both gateway

land in both copies or the two required lanes would have diverged. At the merge base they were
identical — three clears each; the divergence was a consequence this change had to avoid, not a
pre-existing defect it fixed.
e2e harness: the MRTR proof failed on a recovered relay drop.
_summarize_mrtr_e2e_proof's per-leg ceiling was measured over every physical attempt,including legs the relay dropped. A 504 is the relay giving up, so that duration is the
relay's timeout and not the server's response time — counting it against a ceiling whose
purpose is to prove the server answers before the relay gives up failed the run for the
transport doing what MRTR is designed to absorb. The helper already treated this case as
legitimate elsewhere: its docstring says
http_legsincludes a safely replayed transportfailure, and
unsafe_replayswhitelists 5xx. The ceiling now covers answered legs only, andrelay drops get their own bound so a server that trips the relay as a rule still fails.
summarize_mrtr_proofinsdk_conformance_helpers.pyis deliberately untouched — it assertsevery leg returns 2xx before its ceiling check, so the official-SDK proof keeps the stricter
contract by design.

New e2e scenario
test_call_rule_multi_id_aggregates_per_rulepins the client-visiblemulti-rule contract on a live hub. Its scope is stated in the test: tiny rules normally finish
inside the relay budget, so it does not by itself force a continuation — the cross-slice
collapse is pinned in
MrtrContinuationSpec, where a banked-then-retried rule can be builtdeterministically. Both layers are needed.
New BAT scenario T666 for the same contract.
New specs: fingerprint discrimination (a fingerprint that stopped discriminating now fails —
the guard the sibling memo already ships), scalar-tail row contribution, mixed-outcome
partial, and a check that plain comma-separatedArgs:lists name only realinputSchema.properties. That last is deliberately scoped to the plain form: the tail alsocarries alternatives (
source|sourceFile|importUrl) and action values (repair_node), whichare not property names and need a convention decision rather than a looser regex.
test_mrtr_rule_edit_uses_standard_continuationfailed twice on this branch, both times ona relay-dropped leg (
9.822s, then10.039s/504/replayed, each followed by a successful200replay), with 105/106 passing around it. Reproduced as a unit case from the observedleg trace. Three new guards in
tests/test_e2e_test_helpers.py: the observed 6-leg tracenow passes; a 9.7s answered leg still fails, so narrowing the ceiling did not hollow it;
and a server dropping 3 of 6 legs fails the new bound.
pytest tests/: 321 passed (thetest_sandbox_lint.pyerrors are a Windows-localtmp_pathPermissionError, unrelated to the diff — that file is untouched and CI's Linuxjob passes it).
