# Reported issues for NotFair Ads Pod holds 9 of 9 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team. Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded entirely — a maintainer's release checklist is not a warning to a prospective user. Back to [NotFair Ads](/mcp/notfair-ads). ## Most discussed ### 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 [Read the thread](https://github.com/nowork-studio/notfair-plugin/issues/112) · 2026-08-14 · open · outside contributor · 0 comments ### Goals: safely revise a proposed metric before target activation ## Source and scope Misrouted NotFair MCP feedback: [notfair-mcp#774](https://github.com/nowork-studio/notfair-mcp/issues/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 [Read the thread](https://github.com/nowork-studio/notfair-plugin/issues/108) · 2026-08-07 · open · outside contributor · 0 comments ### 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`. - `no [Read the thread](https://github.com/nowork-studio/notfair-plugin/issues/106) · 2026-08-07 · open · outside contributor · 0 comments ### Goals: safely amend an active primary metric after explicit user confirmation ## Source and scope Misrouted NotFair MCP feedback: [notfair-mcp#730](https://github.com/nowork-studio/notfair-mcp/issues/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. - No existing source-repo issue or open PR c [Read the thread](https://github.com/nowork-studio/notfair-plugin/issues/101) · 2026-07-24 · open · outside contributor · 0 comments ### [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](https://github.com/nowork-studio/notfair-mcp/issues/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`. ## Verified source evidence - `notfair/src/app/api/mcp/goals/route.ts [Read the thread](https://github.com/nowork-studio/notfair-plugin/issues/100) · 2026-07-24 · open · outside contributor · 0 comments ### [MCP feedback #8] general: This suggestion-generation workflow depends on recent external signals, but the… This NotFair MCP feedback issue is labeled `claude-ready`.
