Merge train round 3 B6: direct MCP calls in code mode, attested live startup health (#5925 #5977) - #6069
Conversation
Carried from #5977 into merge train round 3. Co-authored-by: RHODIZSECURITY <180237049+RHODIZSECURITY@users.noreply.github.com>
Follow-up to #5977, closing the hold that kept it out of round 2. The local-read capability authenticates the request, but the client trusted the answer on shape alone, so a process that took the port could supply a protected verdict. The server now signs each local-read response with the attestation proof over the request nonce, PID and port, fetchBoundLocalManagementRead verifies it when a caller opts in, and ocx status opts in. Tests cover the signed server response and unsigned, wrong-nonce and wrong-secret answers.

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Status can incorrectly say a foreground proxy runs under the managed service. The misleading summary is bounded and can be corrected without blocking merge. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new paths have meaningful security impact, but the reviewed controls limit tool-call recovery to declared code-mode sessions and require proof before accepting live health. No exploitable issue was established. The final host-tool authorization behavior and one process-replacement edge case remain unverified.

On a cold startup-health cache, /api/startup-health waits for the isolated service-manager probe, whose configured bound is 5.5 seconds on Linux/macOS and 15.5 seconds on Windows (src/server/startup-health-cache.ts). Aborting this read after 1.5 seconds therefore makes the first ocx status or ocx doctor fall back to the shell-local diagnostic whenever that probe takes longer than 1.5 seconds—the exact environment-dependent false negative this change is intended to avoid. Use a timeout that covers the endpoint's documented probe budget, or expose a nonblocking attested snapshot and retry after warming.

Do not claim that the live proxy runs under the service without checking process identity.
If a managed service is running on one port and a separately started proxy is live on another, diagnoseService() can report a viable service for both. The diagnostic does not establish that the selected proxy PID belongs to that service. This branch then reports the foreground proxy as “running under the live managed service.” Describe the viable service without claiming process ownership, or verify the managed PID before using this wording.

Summary
Merge train round 3, batch 6: two contributor PRs whose earlier holds are now answered. Batches 1 to 5 landed as #6059, #6061, #6062, #6063 and #6066.
mcp__<server>__<tool>instead of throughexec, and the turn failed withundeclared client tooland a reconnect banner. That call is now folded into the client's declared customexectool. It applies only when the client declaredexecas a custom tool and the adapter actually converted it; the arguments stay JSON data; and explicit or namespaced declarations keep their identity.6341da9847ocx statusreported startup as at-risk because the shell lacks the service environment, while the live service knows it is protected. Status now prefers the live proxy's verdict. The hold from round 2 was that this answer was trusted on its shape alone. The server now signs each local-read response with the attestation proof over the request nonce, PID and port, andocx statusaccepts the verdict only with that proof, so a process that took the port cannot supply one.The #5925 layout entry shares an existing line, keeping
scripts/test-layout/layout.jsonat 1993 lines. The #5977 commit carries its author's GitHub noreply identity.Plan, reviews and evidence:
