v2.0.2: BooCoder MCP server — 6 tools over stdio

Phase 6 of v2.0. BooCoder exposes its task primitives as MCP tools
so external agents (Sam's opencode in Termius) can drive the task
queue without going through the web UI.

6 MCP tools registered via McpServer + StdioServerTransport:
- boocoder.create_task — INSERT pending task
- boocoder.list_pending_changes — SELECT pending changes
- boocoder.apply — apply a specific pending change to disk
- boocoder.reject — reject a pending change
- boocoder.dispatch_external_agent — create task with agent for Path B
- boocoder.list_worktrees — list active worktrees from running tasks

Activated by --mcp CLI flag: `node dist/index.js --mcp` starts the
MCP server over stdio instead of the HTTP server. Configure in
opencode: {"mcpServers":{"boocoder":{"type":"stdio","command":"docker",
"args":["exec","-i","boocoder","node","dist/index.js","--mcp"]}}}

Uses McpServer class from @modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js
(high-level .tool() registration API). Zod schemas for input
validation. Process blocks on stdin close, cleanly shuts down DB.

+- Write-capable coding agent. Separate Fastify server at port 9502, same docker network (`boocode_net`).
+- **Workspace dependency on `@boocode/server`**: imports `createInferenceRunner`, `createBroker`, `ALL_TOOLS`, `appendMcpTools` from the server's compiled `dist/`. apps/server's `package.json` has an `exports` map with `types` conditions for NodeNext resolution. apps/server must build FIRST (Dockerfile builds server → coder).
+- `apps/server/tsconfig.json` has `declaration: true` so `.d.ts` files exist for workspace consumers.
+- Write tools (`edit_file`, `create_file`, `delete_file`, `apply_pending`, `rewind`) queue in `pending_changes` table. Nothing hits disk until `apply_pending` is called. `write_guard.ts` validates paths (resolve + prefix-check, no realpath since files may not exist for creates).
+- Frontend: NOT a separate SPA. BooCoder is a `'coder'` pane type within BooChat's SPA (`apps/web/`). `CoderPane.tsx` in `apps/web/src/components/panes/`. API requests go through `/api/coder/*` proxy (Vite dev + Fastify production) which rewrites to `http://boocoder:3000/api/*`. WS connects directly to `:9502`.

 - `/opt/boolab` hosts a working sibling BooCode terminal at `boocode.indifferentketchup.com`. Useful for visual side-by-side comparison on the same iPhone when debugging booterm rendering. Boolab uses Tailwind v3 (`@tailwind base`); boocode uses v4 — many subtle build differences. Don't assume parity.
 - booterm SSHs to the host as `samkintop@100.114.205.53` (the Tailscale IP). The hostname `ubuntu-homelab` (shown in the bash prompt after login) does NOT resolve from inside the container — only the host's `/etc/hosts` knows it. Override via `BOOTERM_SSH_HOST` / `BOOTERM_SSH_USER` env vars in docker-compose if you ever move the shell to a different machine.
 - codecontext sidecar lives at `/opt/boocode/codecontext/`. Sidecar HTTP API at `http://codecontext:8080/v1/<tool_name>` over the `boocode_net` bridge (no host port). BooCode wrappers in `apps/server/src/services/tools/codecontext/`. The `.codecontextignore.template` documents recommended ignore patterns; users copy and adapt to project root manually.
+- codecontext fork at `/opt/forks/codecontext/` — separate git repo (branch `boocode-ts`), pushed via the same boocode_gitea SSH key to `indifferentketchup/codecontext`. Build: `go build ./...`. Test: `go test ./...`. Docker rebuild: `docker compose build --no-cache codecontext`.
+- Go binary: `/snap/go/current/bin/go` (not on PATH by default). Use `export PATH=$PATH:/snap/go/current/bin` or full path for Go commands.
 - `os/exec` child supervisors must explicitly call `child.Wait()` in a goroutine and `os.Exit` on child death. `Signal(0)` returns nil on zombies and is NOT a liveness check. Without `Wait()`, docker's `restart: unless-stopped` policy never fires because the parent stays alive. The `codecontext/shim.go` implementation is the reference pattern.

 - Tool-name whitelists must derive from `ALL_TOOLS` in `services/tools.ts`, never hardcoded. `services/agents.ts` `ALL_TOOL_NAMES` had this drift class until v1.12 — same pattern applies to any future tool-aware code.
 - Agent registry lives at `data/AGENTS.md` (global, bind-mounted at `/data/AGENTS.md`). No per-project `AGENTS.md` in this repo — removed in v1.12 to eliminate the two-files-must-stay-in-sync drift. The `getAgentsForProject` per-project override mechanism remains for *other* projects.
 - MCP stdio transport uses newline-delimited JSON (NDJSON), NOT LSP-style `Content-Length` headers. The `codecontext/shim.go` framing implementation is the reference; per the MCP spec (modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/server/transports).
+- **Workspace dependency pattern** (`apps/coder` → `@boocode/server`): the consuming package adds `"@boocode/server": "workspace:*"` in `package.json`. The provider's `package.json` needs `exports` with `types` + `default` conditions per subpath: `"./inference": { "types": "./dist/.../index.d.ts", "default": "./dist/.../index.js" }`. Without the `types` condition, NodeNext resolution can't find `.d.ts` files and tsc fails with "Cannot find module" in the consumer.
+- **Docker build order for workspace deps**: the Dockerfile must `COPY` + `RUN pnpm build` the provider app BEFORE the consumer app. `apps/coder/Dockerfile` builds `apps/server` first, then `apps/coder`.
