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.

Cold-Start Repo Validation

Recommended mode: cold-start

Recommended startup:

pyro host connect claude-code --mode cold-start

Smoke target:

make smoke-cold-start-validation

Use this flow when an agent needs to treat a fresh repo like a new user would: seed it into a workspace, run the validation script, keep one long-running process alive, probe it from another command, and export a validation report.

Chat-host recipe:

  1. Create one workspace from the repo seed.
  2. Run the validation command inside that workspace.
  3. Start the app as a long-running service with readiness configured.
  4. Probe the ready service from another command in the same workspace.
  5. Export the validation report back to the host.
  6. Delete the workspace when the evaluation is done.

If the named mode feels too narrow, fall back to the generic no-mode path and then opt into --profile workspace-full only when you truly need the larger advanced surface.

This recipe is intentionally guest-local and deterministic. It proves startup, service readiness, validation, and host-out report capture without depending on external networks or private registries.
