feat: discover and add connected iOS devices

Adds a Streamable HTTP MCP server (mount /mcp, port 8765) to the
device-host-agent process so Hermes Agent (or any MCP client) can
drive devices directly, coexisting with the Cloud Control Plane
worker path. Per-device session-level locking with 20s TTL,
independent bearer-token auth, and bidirectional cloud ↔ MCP
coordination via a new heartbeat field.

Implementation:
- 4 new modules (mcp_token, mcp_lock, web/mcp_auth, web/mcp)
- Console mount at /mcp with bearer auth sub-app
- Cloud heartbeat payload + scheduler skip MCP-busy devices
- AssignmentExecutor fail-fast reverse check
- CLI mcp-token subcommand
- docs/MCP_INTEGRATION.md + MACOS_IPHONE_SETUP.md section

 per-step screenshots, OCR observations, and UI-tree results. The Cloud Console
 remains the fleet-level view for dispatch status and Cloud-proxy planner history.
 
+## Local-only Host Agent
+
+Run without a Cloud Control Plane by setting `HOST_AGENT_MODE=local`. Tasks
+submitted in the Host console are queued and executed in the same process:
+
+```bash
+export HOST_AGENT_MODE=local
+export AI_PLANNER_ENABLED=true
+export AI_PLANNER_PROVIDER=openai-compatible
+export AI_PLANNER_MODEL=qwen2.5
+export AI_PLANNER_API_KEY=local-key
+export AI_PLANNER_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1
+export AI_PLANNER_MULTIMODAL=true
+uv run --package device-host-agent device-host-agent setup
+uv run --package device-host-agent device-host-agent
+```
+
+`openai-compatible` works with Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, or another server that
+implements OpenAI `/chat/completions`. Hosted `openai` and `anthropic` providers
+also accept `AI_PLANNER_API_KEY` and their conventional API key variables.
+
+The local Host console also exposes an authenticated conversational Agent API:
+
+```text
+POST http://127.0.0.1:8765/api/chat
+```
+
+Send a JSON body containing `device_id` and `messages` (`user`/`assistant` roles). The Agent can
+return ordinary assistant text or call the same device-operation tool contracts
+used by the Runtime; each tool result is fed back to the model before the final
+reply is returned. The endpoint uses the Host console session cookie, so it is
+not an unauthenticated device-control endpoint.
+
+Every chat request is bound to exactly one registered `device_id`. Keep a
+separate message history and client session for each phone; the Agent injects
+the bound device into device tools and rejects cross-device tool arguments.
+
+For vision-capable OpenAI models, a user message may contain standard OpenAI
+multimodal blocks:
+
+```json
+{
+  "messages": [{
+    "role": "user",
+    "content": [
+      {"type": "text", "text": "点击图片中的登录按钮"},
+      {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "data:image/png;base64,..."}}
+    ]
+  }]
+}
+```
+
+The compact form `{ "role": "user", "text": "...", "image_base64": "..." }`
+is also accepted. The model can inspect the supplied image and then call a
+phone tool such as `tap` in the same conversation.
+
+Set `AI_PLANNER_MULTIMODAL=true` for a vision model. The Planner sends the
+screenshot and omits OCR-only elements and OCR metadata from the structured
+scene payload, avoiding duplicate OCR text.
+
+Local mode records LLM responses, reasoning fields, tool calls, tool results,
+and final replies in a local SQLite database. View them at
+`http://127.0.0.1:8765/conversations`; image bytes are excluded. Set
+`HOST_AGENT_CONVERSATION_LOG_PATH` to change the database path.
+
+The authenticated `Devices` page has an on-demand `Get screenshot` button for
+each connected device. Screenshots are captured only after the operator clicks
+the button; the page does not auto-refresh or capture screenshots as part of
+heartbeat synchronization.
+
+In local mode, Appium supervision is enabled by default. Host Agent probes
+`/status`, adopts a healthy existing Appium instance, starts Appium when no
+listener exists, restarts only processes it started if they crash, and stops
+those child processes on shutdown. Override `HOST_AGENT_APPIUM_*` or set
+`HOST_AGENT_DEPENDENCY_SUPERVISOR_ENABLED=false` when an external process
+manager owns Appium.

+# Host-Agent MCP Server Integration
+
+The host-agent process exposes a Streamable HTTP MCP server on the same
+port as the local console (default `127.0.0.1:8765`), at path `/mcp`. This
+lets any MCP-compatible client — Hermes Agent, Claude Desktop, custom
+scripts using the `mcp` Python SDK — drive devices directly through the
+same `DeviceManager` the cloud worker uses.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Host-agent built from this repo (see `docs/MACOS_IPHONE_SETUP.md`).
+- An MCP client that supports the Streamable HTTP transport (mcp SDK
+  1.20+ on the client side).
+
+## Get the bearer token
+
+The first time host-agent starts after this feature ships, it generates
+a random bearer token and writes it to:
+
+    <identity_path.parent>/host_mcp_token.json
+
+(Default: `tasks/host_mcp_token.json` next to `host_identity.json`.)
+
+To print it for copy/paste:
+
+    device-host-agent mcp-token
+
+To rotate: delete the file and restart host-agent. Old tokens stop
+working immediately.
+
+## Hermes Agent configuration
+
+Add to `~/.hermes/config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+mcp_servers:
+  apex_device:
+    url: "http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp"
+    headers:
+      Authorization: "Bearer <paste-token-here>"
+```
+
+Start (or restart) Hermes. Verify by asking Hermes to list devices:
+
+> Use the apex_device MCP to list connected devices.
+
+## Tools exposed
+
+All 11 device tools from `api/mcp.py`:
+
+- `take_screenshot(device_id?)`
+- `tap(x, y, device_id?)`
+- `swipe(start_x, start_y, end_x, end_y, duration_ms?, device_id?)`
+- `input_text(text, device_id?)`
+- `launch_app(app_id, device_id?)`
+- `find_text(query, device_id?)`
+- `find_icon(name, device_id?)`
+- `get_ui_tree(device_id?, include_app_info?)`
+- `describe_screen(device_id?)`
+- `list_devices()`
+- `device_status(device_id)`
+
+## Concurrency model
+
+- The cloud worker and MCP clients share the same `DeviceManager`.
+- Per-device, session-level locking: the first caller (cloud or MCP) to
+  touch a device holds it; the other side sees a busy error.
+- MCP sessions hold their lock until **20 seconds of inactivity**
+  (the `McpBusyTracker` default TTL). The mcp SDK 1.28.1 does not expose
+  a per-session shutdown callback, so a clean Hermes disconnect is also
+  recovered via the 20s TTL sweep — see the implementation note in
+  spec §6.5. Cloud assignments hold theirs until the assignment
+  terminates.
+- The cloud scheduler is told about MCP-held devices via the heartbeat
+  `mcp_busy_device_ids` field, so it normally won't even try to dispatch
+  to them. A 30-second window exists between an MCP acquire and the next
+  heartbeat; during that window cloud may dispatch, and the host-agent
+  will fail-fast the assignment with `failure_reason="device held by an
+  active MCP session"`.
+
+## Network binding
+
+The MCP endpoint is bound to the same address as the local console. By
+default this is `127.0.0.1` (loopback only). To expose on a different
+interface, set `HOST_AGENT_CONSOLE_BIND_HOST` AND
+`HOST_AGENT_CONSOLE_ALLOW_NON_LOOPBACK=true` — both are required. This
+is the same escape hatch the local console uses; there is no MCP-only
+override.
+
+## Error responses
+
+The mcp SDK 1.28.1 forces tool errors into `CallToolResult(isError=true,
+content=[TextContent(message)])` — there is no public path that surfaces
+JSON-RPC `-32000` with a structured `data.busy_owner` field from a tool
+call site. The busy-owner value lives inside the text content (full
+string for `cloud_assignment`, truncated session_id prefix for
+`mcp_session:` collisions).
+
+| Condition | JSON-RPC envelope | `result.content[0].text` |
+|---|---|---|
+| Missing/wrong bearer token | HTTP 401 (transport-level) | `{"error": "invalid token"}` + `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer` |
+| Device busy (cloud) | `result.isError = true` | `"device <X> is busy (held by cloud assignment)"` |
+| Device busy (other MCP) | `result.isError = true` | `"device <X> is busy (held by mcp_session:<8-char-prefix>)"` |
+| Unknown device | `result.isError = false` | JSON `{"ok": false, "error": "device not found: <X>"}` |
+| Tool error | `result.isError = true` | `"Error executing tool <name>: <original-message>"` |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **`list_devices` returns `[]`**: no devices registered. Use the local
+  console at `http://127.0.0.1:8765/` to add one (Login → Devices).
+- **`device X is busy` even when cloud console says device is idle**:
+  check whether another MCP session is holding it. The local console
+  dashboard shows active MCP sessions and held device_ids.

+# Host-Agent MCP Server — Design Spec
+
+- **Date**: 2026-07-21
+- **Status**: Draft, pending user review
+- **Owner**: Jerry Yan
+- **Target package**: `apps/device-host-agent`（主）+ `packages/cloud-platform`（schema/scheduler 扩展）+ `api/mcp.py`（一处签名收紧）
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+在 host-agent 进程内挂载 Streamable HTTP MCP server，让 Hermes Agent（或任意 MCP 客户端）作为外部大脑直接驱动 host-agent 管理的设备，与既有的 Cloud Control Plane 长轮询 worker 路径并存。
+
+**一句话**：Hermes 当大脑，host-agent 当手；同一个 host-agent 进程同时服务两条职责，per-device 互斥，先到先得。
+
+## 2. Background & Motivation
+
+- 当前 host-agent 只能通过 Cloud Control Plane 派发任务驱动；操作员想直接用本地 Hermes Agent 临时操控设备时，必须先在 cloud 侧创建 task，路径长、延迟高、依赖网络。
+- `api/mcp.py::create_mcp_server()` 已经用 FastMCP 暴露了 11 个设备工具（`take_screenshot`/`tap`/`swipe`/`input_text`/`launch_app`/`find_text`/`find_icon`/`get_ui_tree`/`describe_screen`/`list_devices`/`device_status`），但只服务于 Runtime 进程（port 8000），且没有可运行入口被 host-agent 复用。
+- Hermes Agent 官方支持 HTTP MCP client（见 [Hermes MCP docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/mcp)），配置长这样：
+  ```yaml
+  mcp_servers:
+    apex_device:
+      url: "http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp"
+      headers:
+        Authorization: "Bearer <token>"
+  ```
+- uv.lock 已锁定 `mcp==1.28.1`，支持 Streamable HTTP transport。
+- 既有的 `host-agent-local-console` 已立先例：host-agent 进程内 always-on 跑 FastAPI + uvicorn（默认 port 8765，loopback only），本次 MCP server 沿用同一 server、同一端口，仅新增一个 `/mcp` mount。
+
+## 3. Locked Decisions（来自 grill 阶段）
+
+| # | 决策 | 备注 |
+|---|---|---|
+| D1 | Transport = Streamable HTTP | mcp SDK 1.28.1 支持 |
+| D2 | Mount 路径 = `/mcp`，与 console 同端口（默认 8765） | FastAPI `app.mount()` |
+| D3 | 网络 = loopback only，沿用 `HOST_AGENT_CONSOLE_ALLOW_NON_LOOPBACK` 双保险 | 不新增 bind 配置 |
+| D4 | 鉴权 = 独立 MCP bearer token，存 `host_mcp_token.json` | 文件路径 = `config.identity_path.parent / "host_mcp_token.json"` |
+| D5 | 并发锁 = per-device，先到先得 + fail-fast | 不做 wait 队列 |
+| D6 | 设备状态映射 = 走 `_device_display_status()` 同款逻辑 | 避免"所有连上的设备看起来都 busy" |
+| D7 | Cloud worker 与 MCP server 在同一 host-agent 进程并存 | 不互斥，共享 `DeviceManager` |
+| D8 | Cloud ↔ MCP 协调 = 心跳上报 `mcp_busy_device_ids`，cloud scheduler 跳过 | 心跳 schema 扩展，cloud 侧 _matches() 一处改动 |
+| D9 | MCP session 级 lazy acquire 锁，20s TTL 兜底（mcp SDK 1.28.1 无 session-end callback，见 §6.5） | session_id 来自 FastMCP 上下文 |
+| D10 | Skill catalog 工具 MVP 不暴露，保留 `create_mcp_server(skill_catalog_store=...)` 参数化挂载点 | 未来可加 mutating 工具 |
+| D11 | `wait_until_usable` 方法实现 + 单测，但调用方不接入 | 预留能力，MVP 全部 fail-fast |
+| D12 | `tool_handlers(manager)` 改为必传 | 已 grep 确认无调用方依赖 None 默认，根治 `DeviceNotFoundError` 类静默回退地雷 |

+
+### 4.2 关键不变量
+
+- `DeviceManager` 单例；cloud 路径和 MCP 路径都通过显式参数注入。包装层在 `manager is None` 时抛错而非回退 `DEFAULT_MANAGER`（D12）。
+- 同一设备同一时刻只能被一边占用：cloud 占用 → MCP busy 错误；MCP 占用 → 心跳上报 → cloud scheduler 跳过；窗口期内冲突由 AssignmentExecutor 启动前 fail-fast 兜底。
+- `runtime/` / `api/` 包边界不破坏：所有新代码在 `host_agent/`；`api/mcp.py` 只做一处签名收紧。
+
+## 5. Components
+
+### 5.1 `host_agent/mcp_lock.py`（新）— `McpBusyTracker`
+
+```python
+@dataclass(frozen=True)
+class McpDeviceLease:
+    device_id: str
+    session_id: str
+    acquired_at: datetime
+    last_seen_at: datetime
+
+class McpBusyTracker:
+    def __init__(self, *, ttl_seconds: float = 20.0, now=None) -> None: ...
+    def acquire(self, device_id: str, session_id: str) -> bool: ...
+    def renew(self, device_id: str, session_id: str) -> bool: ...
+    def release(self, session_id: str) -> list[str]: ...
+    def release_device(self, device_id: str, session_id: str) -> bool: ...
+    def busy_device_ids(self) -> list[str]: ...        # lazy sweep
+    def snapshot(self) -> list[McpDeviceLease]: ...     # lazy sweep, for UI
+    def wait_until_usable(
+        self, device_id: str, session_id: str, *,
+        timeout: float, poll_interval: float = 1.0,
+        cloud_busy_check: Callable[[], bool] | None = None,
+    ) -> bool: ...  # 预留，MVP 不被调用
+```
+
+- 进程内单实例，`threading.Lock` 保护。
+- TTL sweep 在 `busy_device_ids()` / `snapshot()` 调用时 lazy 执行。
+- Cloud 占用检查**不放这里**——保持单一职责；调用方在 acquire 前查 `AgentStatusTracker`。
+
+### 5.2 `host_agent/mcp_token.py`（新）— `McpTokenStore`
+
+```python
+@dataclass(frozen=True)
+class McpToken:
+    version: int  # =1
+    token: str    # secrets.token_urlsafe(32)
+    created_at: datetime
+
+class McpTokenStore:
+    def __init__(self, path: Path, *, now=None) -> None: ...
+    def load_or_create(self) -> McpToken: ...   # atomic, 0o600
+    def verify(self, presented: str) -> bool: ...
+```
+
+- 文件路径：`config.identity_path.parent / "host_mcp_token.json"`。
+- JSON 格式：`{"version": 1, "token": "...", "created_at": "2026-07-21T..."}`。
+- 写文件用 `tempfile + os.replace` 原子重命名；权限 0o600。
+- 文件损坏或不可写 → `McpTokenStoreError`，不静默重新生成。
+
+### 5.3 `host_agent/web/mcp_auth.py`（新）— Bearer Auth Middleware
+
+```python
+class BearerAuthMiddleware(BaseHTTPMiddleware):
+    def __init__(self, app, token_store: McpTokenStore) -> None: ...
+    # 401 + WWW-Authenticate: Bearer + JSON {"error":"invalid token"} on fail
+```
+
+- 挂在 FastMCP `streamable_http_app()` 外层（不是 console FastAPI 外层）。
+- 不写失败日志（避免暴力枚举刷屏）；首次成功鉴权写 INFO。
+
+### 5.4 `host_agent/web/mcp.py`（新）— `build_mcp_server()`
+
+```python
+def build_mcp_server(
+    *,
+    manager: DeviceManager,
+    mcp_busy_tracker: McpBusyTracker,
+    status_tracker: AgentStatusTracker,
+) -> FastMCP:
+    """Wraps api.mcp.tool_handlers(manager=manager) with:
+    - busy check (cloud OR mcp-busy → JSON-RPC -32000)
+    - lazy device lock acquire on first call
+    - lease renew on every call
+    - status mapping for list_devices / device_status (display_status)"""
+```
+
+- 单一 decorator 包装所有 11 个工具，避免重复。
+- `session_id` 来自 FastMCP streamable HTTP 上下文。
+- `list_devices` / `device_status` 不走 busy 检查（无 device_id 参数），但走 display status 映射。
+
+### 5.5 改动的现有模块
+
+| 模块 | 改动 |
+|---|---|
+| `host_agent/app.py::create_application()` | 构造 `McpTokenStore` / `McpBusyTracker` / `build_mcp_server()`，传给 `create_console_app()`；InstanceLock acquire 后、heartbeat 启动前完成 token 生成 |
+| `host_agent/web/app.py::create_console_app()` | 新参数 `mcp_server` / `mcp_token_store` / `mcp_busy_tracker`；`app.mount("/mcp", auth_wrapped(server.streamable_http_app()))`；`/api/status` 加 `mcp_busy_devices` 字段 |
+| `host_agent/web/templates/dashboard.html` | 一行 MCP 状态显示 |
+| `host_agent/cli.py` | 新子命令 `mcp-token` 打印当前 token（不存在则生成） |
+| `host_agent/heartbeat.py` | payload 加 `mcp_busy_device_ids` 字段，值来自 `mcp_busy_tracker.busy_device_ids()` |
+| `host_agent/assignment.py::AssignmentExecutor` | 构造参数加 `mcp_busy_tracker: McpBusyTracker \| None = None`（None 时跳过检查，保持向后兼容；host-agent 装配时必传）；`execute()` 启动前（`_execute_goal` / `_execute_workflow` 实际跑之前）fail-fast 检查 `mcp_busy_tracker.busy_device_ids()`，命中则返回 `status="failed"` + `failure_reason="device held by active MCP session"` |
+| `cloud/internal_api/models.py` | Heartbeat payload schema 加 `mcp_busy_device_ids: list[str] = []` |
+| `cloud/scheduler.py::_matches()` | 心跳里的 `mcp_busy_device_ids` 内的 device 视为非 idle |
+| `api/mcp.py::tool_handlers` | 签名改为 `tool_handlers(*, manager: DeviceManager)`（必传，D12 根治） |
+

+  └─ console_server: 现在同时服务 / * (HTML) 和 /mcp (Streamable HTTP)
+```
+
+### 6.2 Hermes 第一次 MCP 调用（lazy acquire）
+
+```
+1. Hermes → POST /mcp (JSON-RPC tools/call, name=take_screenshot, args={device_id: "phone-1"})
+2. BearerAuthMiddleware: verify token → pass
+3. FastMCP route → 包装层 decorator:
+   a. session_id = ctx.session_id
+   b. busy check:
+      - cloud 占用? → status_tracker.snapshot()["current_assignment"]["device_id"] == "phone-1"? NO
+      - mcp 占用? → mcp_busy_tracker.busy_device_ids() 包含 "phone-1"? NO
+   c. acquire: mcp_busy_tracker.acquire("phone-1", session_id) → True
+   d. tool_handlers(manager=...)["take_screenshot"](device_id="phone-1") → screenshot
+   e. renew: mcp_busy_tracker.renew("phone-1", session_id)
+   f. return screenshot_base64
+4. 下一次心跳（≤30s）: payload.mcp_busy_device_ids = ["phone-1"]
+5. Cloud scheduler 收到 → 把 phone-1 视为非 idle → 不派任务给它
+```
+
+### 6.3 同 session 第二次调用（锁已持有）
+
+```
+1. Hermes → POST /mcp (tap, device_id: "phone-1")
+2-3a. 同上
+3b. mcp_busy_tracker.busy_device_ids() 包含 "phone-1"，但持有者就是当前 session_id → 通过
+3c. acquire 已持有，no-op（或 assert）
+3d-f. 同上
+```
+
+### 6.4 Cloud 任务抢占的预防
+
+```
+场景：Hermes 正在用 phone-1，cloud 这时派任务给 phone-1
+
+正常路径：
+1. Cloud scheduler 选设备：phone-1 在最近心跳的 mcp_busy_device_ids 内 → 视为非 idle → 跳过
+2. Cloud 选 phone-2 或等其他设备 idle
+
+窗口期兜底（心跳 30s 内 cloud 基于旧心跳派任务）：
+1. AssignmentProcessor.process(assignment) → AssignmentExecutor.execute(assignment)
+2. execute() 启动前检查：
+   if assignment.device_id in mcp_busy_tracker.busy_device_ids():
+       return AssignmentExecutionResult(
+           status="failed",
+           failure_reason="device held by active MCP session"
+       )
+3. client.report_result(...) 上报 fail → cloud attempt+1 或派给别的 host
+```
+
+### 6.5 Session 结束 / TTL 过期
+
+```
+正常：Hermes 主动断开 → mcp SDK 1.28.1 没有 per-session shutdown hook
+      → 该 session 的 lease 进入 TTL 倒计时
+      → 20s TTL 到期 → 下次 busy_device_ids() 或 snapshot() 调用时 lazy sweep
+      → lease 清理 → 下次心跳 payload 不再包含 → cloud 重新视为 idle
+
+异常：Hermes 崩溃 / 网络断 → 同上，无 shutdown callback
+      → 20s TTL 到期 → 下次 busy_device_ids() 或 snapshot() 调用时 lazy sweep
+      → lease 清理 → 下次心跳 payload 不再包含 → cloud 重新视为 idle
+```
+
+**Implementation note (2026-07-21 fix wave):** mcp SDK 1.28.1 exposes
+only a server-level `lifespan` hook; `ServerSession.__aexit__` and
+`StreamableHTTPSessionManager` do not surface a per-session
+shutdown callback. The spec originally described a release-on-clean-
+disconnect path that the SDK cannot deliver today. The fallback is
+the 20-second TTL sweep — short enough that a normal heartbeat
+interval (30s) catches the recovery before the cloud scheduler
+notices, long enough that an actively-busy session does not lose its
+lease during normal operator pauses. Explicit release on session end
+remains a future enhancement if/when the SDK exposes the hook.
+
+## 7. Error Handling Matrix
+
+| # | 触发条件 | 返回语义 | 备注 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | `Authorization` 缺失/不匹配 | HTTP 401 + `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer` + JSON `{"error":"invalid token"}` | 不写失败日志；首次成功鉴权写 INFO |
+| 2 | Cloud 占用目标设备 | `CallToolResult(isError=true, content=[TextContent("device phone-1 is busy (held by cloud assignment)")])` | DEBUG 日志 |
+| 3 | 另一 MCP session 占用 | `CallToolResult(isError=true, content=[TextContent("device phone-1 is busy (held by mcp_session:<8-char-prefix>)")])` | DEBUG 日志 |
+| 4 | `device_id` 不存在 | `CallToolResult(isError=false)` + JSON `{"ok": false, "error": "device not found: phone-1"}` | 复用 `call_with_semantic_errors`；语义错误不抛 |
+| 5 | 工具底层异常 | `CallToolResult(isError=true, content=[TextContent("Error executing tool <name>: <orig-msg>")])` | WARNING + exc_info |
+| 6 | Cloud assignment 启动前命中 MCP 占用 | `AssignmentExecutionResult(status="failed", failure_reason="device held by active MCP session")` | INFO 一次 |
+| 7 | Token 文件损坏 JSON | host-agent 启动失败，stderr 提示 | 不静默重新生成 |
+| 8 | Token 文件不可写 | host-agent 启动失败 | 同上 |
+| 9 | MCP session 异常断开 | lease 进入 TTL 倒计时 | 20s 后 lazy sweep |
+| 10 | TTL 过期瞬间 Hermes 重连 | renew 容忍边界：session_id 匹配 → 重新 acquire 而非报错 | 无感 |
+| 11 | 同 session 并发不同设备 | 各自独立 acquire | per-device 设计 |
+| 12 | 同 session 并发同一设备 | 第一个 acquire；第二个 renew（同 session_id） | 并发 safe |
+| 13 | FastMCP 提取不到 session_id | `CallToolResult(isError=true, content=[TextContent("cannot determine MCP session")])` | ERROR + exc_info |
+| 14 | host-agent 关停时有 active MCP session | lease 随进程退出消失 | 不需显式清理 |
+
+### 错误返回格式
+
+```json
+{
+  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+  "id": "<request-id>",
+  "result": {
+    "content": [
+      {
+        "type": "text",
+        "text": "device phone-1 is busy (held by cloud assignment)"
+      }
+    ],
+    "isError": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Implementation note (2026-07-21 fix wave):** mcp SDK 1.28.1's
+`Tool.run` wraps every non-`UrlElicitationRequiredError` exception
+(including `McpError` with a typed `ErrorData`) into `ToolError`.
+The lowlevel `call_tool` handler then serializes any exception as
+`CallToolResult(isError=true, content=[TextContent(message)])` via
+`_make_error_result`. There is no public path that surfaces JSON-RPC
+`-32000` with a structured `data.busy_owner` field from a tool call
+site — the SDK's wire contract for tool errors is the `isError=true`
+flag plus text content. The busy-owner value lives in the text
+content (truncated session_id for `mcp_session:` collisions, full
+string for `cloud_assignment`). Unknown-device and other semantic
+errors are returned as normal `ok=False` payloads inside a successful
+`CallToolResult(isError=false)` (see `api/mcp.py::call_with_semantic_errors`).
+
+## 8. Testing Strategy
+
+### 8.1 单元测试
+
+- **`McpBusyTracker`**（~10 用例）：acquire/renew/release/busy_device_ids/snapshot/wait_until_usable 的成功/冲突/并发/TTL sweep
+- **`McpTokenStore`**（~6 用例）：首次创建/二次复用/并发 atomic/verify timing-safe/损坏 JSON 抛错/不可写抛错
+- **`BearerAuthMiddleware`**（~5 用例）：无 header/错误 token/正确 token/非 Bearer scheme/大小写
+- **包装层 decorator**（~10 用例，**重点**）：
+  - 显式 `manager=` 传入 → 工具调用成功（**回归 D12 地雷**）
+  - `manager=None` → 包装层断言失败（**新约束**）
+  - cloud 占用 → `-32000` busy（mock AgentStatusTracker）
+  - 另一 MCP session 占用 → `-32000` busy
+  - 同 session 已持有 → renew 后通过
+  - acquire/renew 调用顺序
+  - 底层 `DeviceNotFoundError` → `-32602`
+  - 底层 `DriverError` → `-32000`
+  - `list_devices` 不 busy check 但走 display status
+  - `device_status` 同上
+
+### 8.2 集成测试
+
+- **Mount wiring**（~4 用例）：`/mcp` mount 存在、不继承 cookie session、`/api/status` 加字段、dashboard HTML 含状态行
+- **心跳 payload**（~3 用例）：空 / 含 phone-1 / TTL 过期后空
+- **AssignmentExecutor fail-fast**（~2 用例）：命中 MCP 占用立即 fail、不命中正常执行
+- **Cloud 侧**（~4 用例）：Heartbeat model 向后兼容空 list、含 device、`_matches()` 跳过 mcp_busy、旧 host-agent 不发字段时行为不变
+
+### 8.3 端到端（1 个，可选）
+
+- MCP 客户端模拟（`mcp` SDK client + ASGI TestClient）→ host-agent 进程内 → FakeDriver
+- 覆盖：鉴权 → list_devices → screenshot → tap → 中途 cloud assignment fail-fast → session 断开 release
+- 如果 SDK client + TestClient 组合有坑，降级为直接调用 FastMCP tool registry
+
+### 8.4 已有测试不破坏
+
+- `test_app.py` 9 处 `create_application()` 调用：新组件在 `create_application()` 内部构造，外部 API 不变
+- `test_runtime_owned_packages_do_not_import_host_or_cloud_concerns`：所有新代码在 `host_agent/`，不动 `runtime/` / `api/` 包边界（`api/mcp.py` 签名收紧不算破坏）
+- 根非集成测试套件：跑一遍无回归
+
+### 8.5 人工/真机（不在自动化覆盖）
+
+- 真实 Hermes Agent CLI 接入（写 SOUL.md、跑真实对话）
+- 真机 iPhone/Android MCP 工具调用
+
+## 9. Scope
+
+### 9.1 In Scope
+
+见第 5 节 Components 表。共：
+- 4 个新模块（`mcp_lock.py` / `mcp_token.py` / `web/mcp_auth.py` / `web/mcp.py`）
+- 8 个改动的现有模块
+- 2 个文档（`docs/MCP_INTEGRATION.md` 新增 + `docs/MACOS_IPHONE_SETUP.md` 加小节）
+- 单元 + 集成测试全覆盖；e2e 视成本而定
+
+### 9.2 Non-Goals
+
+- `wait_until_usable` 的调用方接入（方法实现 + 单测，但 AssignmentExecutor 和 MCP 工具包装层都不调用）
+- 暴露 `wait_until_device_usable` 成独立 MCP 工具
+- `device-host-agent mcp-rotate-token` CLI（MVP 轮换走"删文件 + 重启"）
+- MCP 调用进 `ConsoleHistoryStore`（MVP 不记录调用历史）
+- Skill catalog 工具暴露给 Hermes（保留参数化挂载点）
+- Token rate limiting / 失败计数
+- 多 Hermes 实例协调（技术允许但不专门测试）
+- 远程访问（非 loopback）支持
+- Hermes 侧 SOUL.md / 配置自动化
+- MCP over WebSocket
+- Cloud scheduler 改造为支持"MCP 优先级"/队列
+
+## 10. Open Questions
+
+- **Q1（已答）**：`tool_handlers(manager)` 是否改为必传？→ **是**。Grep 全仓库确认所有调用方（`api/mcp.py:110`、`tests/test_mcp.py:13,56`、`tests/test_skill_catalog_e2e.py:287`）都已显式传 `manager=manager`，改动面为 0。
+- **Q2**：`mcp-token` CLI 是否需要鉴权？→ MVP 不鉴权，假定能访问宿主机的操作者可信（与 `setup` 子命令同款）。后续可加 `--password` 校验 local_account。
+- **Q3**：MCP 工具调用是否需要 wall-clock 超时？→ MVP 不加，依赖底层超时；如有"Hermes 调用挂死"报告再加。
+- **Q4**：心跳扩展是 Alembic migration 还是仅 schema 字段？→ MVP 仅 transient 字段（heartbeat 接收 → scheduler 用 → 丢弃），无需 migration。
+- **Q5（已答，2026-07-21 fix wave）**：TTL 从 60s 降到 20s，因为 mcp SDK 1.28.1 没有 per-session shutdown callback（见 §6.5）。20s 仍能容许正常 operator 暂停，但能在一次 30s 心跳窗口内回收崩盘 session 的锁；新 `test_default_ttl_is_20_seconds` 和 `test_default_ttl_recovers_dead_session_within_one_window` 锁定该值。如有"Hermes 长操作横跨 20s 静默"报告再调高。
+
+## 11. Risks
+
+- **R1**：Cloud 心跳窗口期（30s）冲突。缓解：AssignmentExecutor 启动前 fail-fast。残留：cloud 可能基于过期心跳派任务、host-agent fail、cloud 重试——浪费 attempt 配额。**接受**。
+- **R2**：Hermes 长时间占用设备导致 cloud 任务反复 fail。MVP 无自动缓解；用户手动管控；未来启用 `wait_until_usable`。**接受**。
+- **R3**：Hermes 崩溃后 ≤20s 设备不可用（TTL 兜底，但窗口存在）。窗口仍 ≤30s 心跳间隔，cloud 侧下次心跳能学到。**接受，记入 Q5**。
+- **R4（已消除）**：`tool_handlers` 签名改动影响面。Grep 确认 0 调用方依赖 None 默认。
+- **R5**：FastMCP `session_id` 提取依赖 `mcp` SDK 内部 API。缓解：e2e 测试覆盖；SDK 升级 CI 能及时暴露。
+- **R6**：`mcp` SDK 需作为 device-host-agent 直接依赖（目前通过 Runtime 传递）。需加进 `apps/device-host-agent/pyproject.toml`（与 `filelock` 直接化先例一致）。
+- **R7**：Token 文件首次生成的竞态。缓解：InstanceLock 前置保护；`tempfile + os.replace` 原子重命名。
+
+## 12. Coordination with Existing Changes
+
+- **`host-agent-single-instance-lock`**：本次依赖 InstanceLock，token 文件生成在 InstanceLock acquire 之后，安全。无需修改。
+- **`host-agent-dependency-supervisor`**：本次不引入新的外部进程依赖（FastMCP 是库）。不冲突。
+- **`task-execution-progress-visibility`**：本次不改 `TaskMetadataStore` / `Timeline`。不冲突。
+- **`host-agent-local-console`**：本次复用其 FastAPI + uvicorn 设施，新增一个 mount 点。Console 现有 cookie session 鉴权**不**继承到 `/mcp`（鉴权走独立 bearer middleware）。
+
+## 13. Hermes 侧配置示例（参考，非 host-agent 代码范围）
+
+`~/.hermes/config.yaml`:
+```yaml
+mcp_servers:
+  apex_device:
+    url: "http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp"
+    headers:
+      Authorization: "Bearer <token-from-host_mcp_token.json>"
+```
+
+首次启动 host-agent 后，从 `tasks/host_mcp_token.json`（或 `HOST_AGENT_IDENTITY_PATH` 同目录）读 token，或跑 `device-host-agent mcp-token` 打印。
+
+Hermes 的 `SOUL.md`（profile 级别）建议补充：
+- 工具调用前先 `list_devices` 看可用设备
+- 设备 `busy` 时等待或换设备
+- iOS 设备坐标是 points（非 pixels），Android 是 pixels
+- OCR/UI 树 bounds 与 screenshot 像素已对齐（perception 层已处理）
+
+## 14. Implementation Order（建议，writing-plans 阶段细化）
+
+1. `api/mcp.py::tool_handlers` 签名收紧（D12）+ 同步更新调用方 docstring/类型
+2. `McpTokenStore` + 单测
+3. `McpBusyTracker`（含 `wait_until_usable`）+ 单测
+4. `BearerAuthMiddleware` + 单测
+5. `build_mcp_server` 包装层 + 单测（覆盖 D12 回归）
+6. `create_console_app` mount wiring + 集成测试
+7. `create_application` 装配
+8. 心跳 payload 扩展 + cloud scheduler 改动 + 集成测试
+9. `AssignmentExecutor` fail-fast 检查 + 测试
+10. CLI `mcp-token` 子命令
+11. Dashboard 状态行
+12. 文档（`MCP_INTEGRATION.md` + `MACOS_IPHONE_SETUP.md`）
+13. e2e 测试（可选）
+14. 全量非集成测试回归 + ruff + compileall + openspec strict validation
