      "Title": "setup has no non-interactive completion path for agents whose host blocks self-configuration",
      "Excerpt": "Every eval agent that stopped at the approval gate named the same blocker: `setup` writes the agent's own user-level MCP registration and skill, exactly what host permission classifiers catch. A first-class escape would convert the stop into a partially configured bench in one step: `agentic-hil init` already finishes the project half, so the missing piece is machine-readable output naming the exact remaining command (`agentic-hil agent-install --agent <agent>`), or a `setup --project-only` alia",

This issue tracks the measurement that upgrades the claim, on a real bench with a Nucleo attached, everything through the MCP tools:\n\n1. `flash_firmware` an ELF whose firmware increments a RAM counter (e.g. `volatile uint32_t uptime_ms` in `SysTick_Handler`); put the symbol in `debug.allowed_symbols`; let the board run about ",

It does not say what it found there, and that is the one fact that settles what to do next.\n\nA real case: an operator's `~/.claude.json` held\n\n```json\n{\n  \"type\": \"stdio\",\n  \"command\": \"<a wrapper script under the operator's own ~/.claude>\",\n  \"args\": []\n}\n```\n\nThe refusal is correct: that entry points at a program the operator chose, and rewriting it would hand the hardware gate to something else.

      "Excerpt": "Lived through three recording takes: `setup --agent claude-code` succeeds, and the session that ran it then waits on MCP tools that cannot appear, because the host reads registrations at session start. The docs say it since #227, but the one place the agent is guaranteed to look is the setup RESULT itself. `setup` and `agent-install` should carry `restart_required: true` plus one sentence (\"the <agent> session must restart before the agentic-hil tools appear; doctor works now\") in their JSON res",

      "Excerpt": "Follow-up from #342. `test_reactor.py` (around line 1834) admits `dump_memory` and `read_symbol` plan steps only when the configured debugger is `type: openocd`, although both underlying tools have answered on the ST-Link backend since 0.18.0, and since #342 they answer non-intrusively. The coverage workflow that motivated #342 (dump RAM-resident measurement data before a run ends) therefore works through the MCP tools but still cannot be written as a plan step on an ST-Link bench.\n\nThis needs a",

      "Excerpt": "A bench needed to switch its dut debugger from the CubeProgrammer backend to OpenOCD (to reach the typed-debug family, #342) and could not do it over MCP: `debuggers.<name>.type` is deliberately absent from the project_config_set keys, so the operator had to edit config.yaml by hand while `executable`, `interface_cfg` and `target_cfg`, the three fields that fully determine what binary runs with what scripts, are all writable behind `allow_config_description_write`.\n\nThe documented reason for the",

The pip and `uv pip` routes first ask the index with a dry-run resolution to honour the #191 guard (do not replace an installation that is already current).

A secret that appears inside the VALUE of a captured stream is not masked, and package managers put secrets there: pip and uv print index URLs, and a private index URL routinely carries `https://user:token@host/simple/`.
