      "Excerpt": "## Problem\n\nPR #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`.\n\n## Expected behavior\n\n`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.\n\n##…",

      "Title": "MCP registry entry installs taken-gh without the [mcp] extra",
      "Excerpt": "## What happened\n\nThe 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).\n\n## Suggested fix\n\nDeclare the extra in server.json, e.g. `\"identifier\": \"taken-gh[mcp]\"`, so registry installs produce a working server. The publish-registry workflow syncs…",

      "Excerpt": "## What happened\n\nFormula/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.\n\n## Suggested fix\n\nAdd 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.\n\n_Found during an automated audit of the codebase._",

      "Title": ".deb ships a non-functional taken-mcp with no offline way to add the [mcp] extra",
      "Excerpt": "## What happened\n\nThe .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.\n\n## Why it matters\n\nEvery .deb install puts a `taken-mcp` on PATH that fails on first run, contradicting the…",
