MCP check_issue doesn't return friendly_labels/welcoming
Problem
PR #19 added friendly_labels and welcoming to the MCP scan_repo and discover_candidates tools, but check_issue still returns only verdict + reasons + findings. An agent calling check_issue on a single issue can't see the first-time-friendly markers without also calling scan_repo.
Expected behavior
check_issue should include top-level friendly_labels (list) and welcoming (dict) fields, computed from the issue's findings the same way scan_repo does.

MCP registry entry installs taken-gh without the [mcp] extra
What happened
The published MCP registry entry for io.github.RogueAlg0/taken (0.7.2, latest) declares its PyPI package as plain taken-gh with no extra (see packages in server.json). An MCP client installing from the registry therefore gets a taken-mcp that exits immediately asking for the MCP SDK (see #170).
Suggested fix
Declare the extra in server.json, e.g. "identifier": "taken-gh[mcp]", so registry installs produce a working server. The publish-registry workflow syncs…

Homebrew formula installs taken without the [mcp] extra, leaving taken-mcp broken
What happened
Formula/taken.rb in homebrew-taken-tap declares only the tqdm resource and runs virtualenv_install_with_resources, so a Homebrew-installed taken-mcp fails at startup asking for the [mcp] extra.
Suggested fix
Add the mcp package (and its dependencies) as formula resources, or document that Homebrew users needing the MCP server should install it via pip install "taken-gh[mcp]" separately.
Found during an automated audit of the codebase.

.deb ships a non-functional taken-mcp with no offline way to add the [mcp] extra
What happened
The .deb's postinst creates a venv and runs pip install --no-index --find-links=/usr/share/taken/wheels taken-gh (publish.yml, build-deb job), vendoring only the tqdm wheel. It then symlinks /usr/bin/taken-mcp. Since the [mcp] extra is not installed, taken-mcp exits immediately asking for the extra, which the offline --no-index install cannot satisfy.
Why it matters
Every .deb install puts a taken-mcp on PATH that fails on first run, contradicting the…

taken-mcp is installed but non-functional without the [mcp] extra
What happened
Dogfooding the MCP server: running taken-mcp from a plain pip install taken-gh environment exits immediately with taken-mcp needs the MCP SDK, which is an optional dependency: install it with pip install "taken-gh[mcp]". The console script is installed but non-functional until the extra is added.
Why it matters
A user following the README to try the MCP server hits a dead end on first run. The guidance message is accurate, but the failure mode is avoidable.
