Thales Maciel d0cf6d8f21 Add opinionated MCP modes for workspace workflows
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.

Repro Plus Fix Loop

Recommended mode: repro-fix

Recommended startup:

pyro host connect codex --mode repro-fix

Smoke target:

make smoke-repro-fix-loop

Use this flow when the agent has to reproduce a bug, patch files without shell quoting tricks, rerun the failing command, diff the result, export the fix, and reset back to baseline.

Chat-host recipe:

  1. Start the server from the repo root with bare pyro mcp serve, or use --project-path if the host does not preserve cwd.
  2. Create one workspace from that project-aware server without manually passing seed_path.
  3. Run the failing command.
  4. Inspect the broken file with structured file reads.
  5. Apply the fix with workspace_patch_apply.
  6. Rerun the failing command in the same workspace.
  7. Diff and export the changed result.
  8. Reset to baseline and delete the workspace.

If the mode feels too narrow for the job, fall back to the generic bare pyro mcp serve path.

This is the main repro-fix story: model-native file ops, repeatable exec, structured diff, explicit export, and reset-over-repair.
