# `4.2.0` Host Bootstrap And Repair

Status: Done

## Goal

Make supported chat hosts feel one-command to connect and easy to repair when a
local config drifts or the product changes shape.

## Public API Changes

The CLI should grow a small host-helper surface for the supported chat hosts:

- `pyro host connect claude-code`
- `pyro host connect codex`
- `pyro host print-config opencode`
- `pyro host doctor`
- `pyro host repair HOST`

The exact names can still move, but the product needs a first-class bootstrap
and repair path for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode.

## Implementation Boundaries

- host helpers should wrap the same `pyro mcp serve` entrypoint rather than
  introduce per-host runtime behavior
- config changes should remain inspectable and predictable
- support both installed-package and `uvx`-style usage where that materially
  reduces friction
- keep the host helper story narrow to the current supported hosts

## Non-Goals

- no GUI installer or onboarding wizard
- no attempt to support every possible MCP-capable editor or chat shell
- no hidden network service or account-based control plane

## Acceptance Scenarios

- a new Claude Code or Codex user can connect `pyro` with one command
- an OpenCode user can print or materialize a correct config without hand-writing
  JSON
- a user with a stale or broken local host config can run one repair or doctor
  flow instead of debugging MCP setup manually

## Required Repo Updates

- new host-helper docs and examples for all supported chat hosts
- README, install docs, and integrations docs updated to prefer the helper
  flows when available
- help text updated with exact connect and repair commands
- runnable verification or smoke coverage that proves the shipped host-helper
  examples stay current
