Make repo-root chat startup native by letting MCP servers carry a default project source for workspace creation. When a chat host starts from a Git checkout, workspace_create can now omit seed_path and inherit the server startup source; explicit --project-path and clean-clone --repo-url/--repo-ref paths are supported as fallbacks.
Add project startup resolution and materialization, surface origin_kind/origin_ref in workspace_seed, update chat-host docs and the repro/fix smoke to use project-aware workspace creation, and switch dist-check to uv run pyro so verification stays stable after uv reinstalls.
Validated with uv lock, focused startup/server/CLI pytest coverage, UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make check, UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make dist-check, and real guest-backed smokes for both explicit project_path and bare repo-root auto-detection.
Flip bare pyro mcp serve, create_server(), and Pyro.create_server() to default to workspace-core in 4.0.0 while keeping workspace-full as the explicit advanced opt-in surface.
Rewrite the MCP-facing docs and host-specific examples around the bare default command, update package and catalog compatibility to 4.x, and move the public-contract wording from 3.x compatibility guidance to the new stable default.
Adjust the server, API, and contract tests so bare server creation now asserts the workspace-core tool set, while explicit workspace-full coverage continues to prove shells, services, snapshots, and disk tools remain available.
Validation: uv lock; .venv/bin/pytest --no-cov tests/test_cli.py tests/test_api.py tests/test_server.py tests/test_public_contract.py; UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make check; UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make dist-check; real guest-backed smoke for bare Pyro.create_server() plus explicit profile="workspace-full".
Ship first-class MCP setup examples for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode so new users can copy one exact command or config instead of translating the generic MCP template by hand.
Reposition the docs to surface those host-specific examples before the generic config fallback, keep workspace-core as the recommended profile everywhere user-facing, and retain Claude Desktop/Cursor as secondary fallback examples.
Bump the package and catalog to 3.11.0, mark the roadmap milestone done, and add docs-alignment coverage that pins the new examples to the canonical workspace-core server command and the expected OpenCode config shape.
Validation:
- uv lock
- ./.venv/bin/pytest --no-cov tests/test_cli.py
- UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make check
- UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make dist-check
