Goal agents can be provisioned without notfair-goals after a non-throwing registration failure

Source feedback

Misrouted from nowork-studio/notfair-mcp feedback #360 (tracker issue #847). A goal-agent session was instructed to use the NotFair goal-intake lifecycle but notfair-goals was unavailable from tool discovery.

Ground truth

The owning implementation is this repository: notfair/src/app/api/mcp/goals/route.ts serves notfair-goals; notfair/src/server/mcp-server/tools.ts exports the lifecycle tools.
provisionGoalAgent calls registerGoalsMcpForAgent in `notfai

Goals: safely revise a proposed metric before target activation

Source and scope

Misrouted NotFair MCP feedback: notfair-mcp#774 (feedback #339).

Current main evidence (commit ab0a2655718c0c116200001a7418e68fe77d352a):

notfair/src/server/mcp-server/tools.ts exposes propose_goal_metric as intake step 2 and describes a failed verification as retryable.
notfair/src/server/goals/handlers.ts accepts handleProposeGoalMetric only while goal.status === "intake"; its successful write mo

Fix standalone workspace-browser packaging for Playwright metadata

Source evidence

Two NotFair MCP feedback reports (nowork-studio/notfair-mcp #759 and #777) identify the same current source-repo failure: browser_open cannot launch from the packaged standalone install because Playwright cannot resolve its packaged browsers.json.

The live source owns this path:

notfair/src/server/mcp-server/browser-tools.ts calls getOrLaunchBrowser() before opening a tab.
notfair/package.json ships the standalone package and declares playwright-core.

Goals: safely amend an active primary metric after explicit user confirmation

Source and scope

Misrouted NotFair MCP feedback: notfair-mcp#730 (feedback #296).

Current main evidence:

notfair/src/server/mcp-server/tools.ts exposes propose_goal_metric only for intake and amend_goal only for target/deadline/spend/cadence.
notfair/src/server/goals/handlers.ts rejects propose_goal_metric outside intake, while handleAmendGoal owns active/paused edits.

[Feedback #294] Ensure live goal agents receive the notfair-goals MCP surface

Routed feedback

This is the canonical source-repository issue for NotFair feedback #294, initially filed in nowork-studio/notfair-mcp as #725.

Observed behavior

A live goal agent did not receive the notfair-goals MCP surface, despite its identity requiring lifecycle calls such as get_goal, log_goal_action, register_pull_request, and log_learning.

runScript returns "a is not a function" for every input (including `return 1;`)

`runScript` returns "a is not a function" for every input (including `return 1;`)

Plugin: nowork-studio/toprank v0.17.0 MCP server: https://notfair.co/api/mcp/google_ads (NotFair-GoogleAds) Date observed: 2026-05-08 Account ID: 6397865266

Summary

Every call to the runScript tool — including the most trivial JavaScript body possible — returns the same error string: a is not a function. All other tools on the same MCP server work normally, so this is isolated to the

fix(seo): fetch robots.txt with broken-link crawler user agent

Feedback source

NotFair feedback ID: 257
Misrouted MCP tracker: nowork-studio/notfair-mcp#673
Affected source: seo/broken-link-checker/scripts/checker.py

Verified defect

Current main calls urllib.robotparser.RobotFileParser.read() after set_url(). That standard-library helper fetches robots.txt using Python's default urllib user agent, while the crawler itself identifies as NotFairBrokenLinkChecker/1.0. Cloudflare-fronted sites that block Python's default agent can there
