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.

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.

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.
