Use compact MCP input advertisements by default while preserving explicit full, canonical validation, output contracts and complete Evidence. Require an explicit selected catalog for runtime identity and honor both profiles in CLI status.
Real ripgrep/Zellij SDK tasks, independent ELF oracle, actual client trials, profile parity workflows and CI are recorded in experiments/analysis-efficiency/mcp-input-catalog.md. SDK token estimates improve; actual Codex token savings and general latency/memory gains are not established.

BREAKING CHANGE: MCP input advertisements default to compact. Set REA_MCP_INPUT_SCHEMA_PROFILE=full for complete advertised guidance and nested constraints.
Capture the current entrypoint once without inventing a path. Preserve unknown registration ownership through setup and doctor, refuse unsafe registration plans, and retain exact pinned-launcher readiness checks. Hash the same full or compact schema projection advertised by each MCP server and use that identity in doctor comparisons.
BREAKING CHANGE: server.command_path may be null when the invocation path is unavailable. Registration and setup statuses, and doctor classifications, may report unknown.

* feat(mcp): add compact input schema profile for size-capped providers
Moonshot's function-calling API rejects a request while any single tool
parameters schema exceeds its literal serialized size cap, so clients
such as kimi-cli fail every request while the default catalog is
attached (#1484).
Add an opt-in REA_MCP_INPUT_SCHEMA_PROFILE=compact server presentation.
Each advertised input schema is rendered within a 13,312-byte budget,
measured to sit below the observed provider cap: annotation prose
(nested descriptions, examples, defaults, titles) is dropped, repeated
annotation-free subschemas are shared through schema-local $defs/$ref
references the provider validates without expansion, and the three
structurally oversized schemas are advertised in a documented reduced
form. The canonical catalog, tool set, output schemas, and server-side
canonical validation are unchanged; the default full profile is
byte-identical to today's advertisement.
Boundary tests pin every compact schema to the budget, keep them valid
JSON Schema that still accepts every canonical example, hold reduced
presentations at three or fewer, and verify canonical rejection still
guards a permissive advertisement. Verified against the real Moonshot
API through kimi-cli: prompts succeed with the compact catalog attached
where the default catalog fails every request with 400.
* fix(mcp): preserve compact schemas through Kimi conversion
