Introduce explicit repro-fix, inspect, cold-start, and review-eval modes across the MCP server, CLI, and host helpers, with canonical mode-to-tool mappings, narrowed schemas, and mode-specific tool descriptions on top of the existing workspace runtime.
Reposition the docs, host onramps, and use-case recipes so named modes are the primary user-facing startup story while the generic no-mode workspace-core path remains the escape hatch, and update the shared smoke runner to validate repro-fix and cold-start through mode-backed servers.

Add a dedicated pyro host surface for supported chat hosts so Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode users can connect or repair the canonical MCP setup without hand-writing raw commands or config edits.
Implement the shared host helper layer and wire it through the CLI with connect, print-config, doctor, and repair, all generated from the same canonical pyro mcp serve command shape and project-source flags. Update the docs, public contract, examples, changelog, and roadmap so the helper flow becomes the primary onramp while raw host-specific commands remain as reference material.
Harden the verification path that this milestone exposed: temp git repos in tests now disable commit signing, socket-based port tests skip cleanly when the sandbox forbids those primitives, and make test still uses multiple cores by default but caps xdist workers to a stable value so make check stays fast and deterministic here.

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

Make the recommended MCP profile visible from the first help and docs pass without changing 3.x behavior.
Rework help, top-level docs, public-contract wording, and shipped MCP/OpenAI examples so is the recommended first profile while stays the compatibility default for full-surface hosts.
Bump the package and catalog to 3.8.0, mark the roadmap milestone done, and add regression coverage for the new MCP help and docs alignment. Validation included uv lock, targeted profile/help tests, make check, make dist-check, and a real guest-backed server smoke.
Expose stable MCP/server tool profiles so chat hosts can start narrow and widen only when needed. This adds vm-run, workspace-core, and workspace-full across the CLI serve path, Pyro.create_server(), and the package-level create_server() factory while keeping workspace-full as the default.
Register profile-specific tool sets from one shared contract mapping, and narrow the workspace-core schemas so secrets, network policy, shells, services, snapshots, and disk tools do not leak into the default persistent chat profile. The full surface remains available unchanged under workspace-full.
Refresh the public docs and examples around the profile progression, add a canonical OpenAI Responses workspace-core example, mark the 3.4.0 roadmap milestone done, and verify with uv lock, UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make check, UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make dist-check, and a real guest-backed workspace-core smoke for create, file write, exec, diff, export, reset, and delete.
