§2. Acceptance criteria — line-item
From the source prompt §P3.7.1:
| AC | Statement | Status |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | 5 MCP tools registered with Zod schemas | ✅ all 5 register via registerConsensusTools(ctx) with input + output Zod schemas |
| AC2 | consensus_propose returns {round_id, status} |
✅ schema {round_id: decimal, status: 'PENDING'|'QUORUM'} enforced by Zod output |
| AC3 | consensus_vote returns {vote_signed, sig_b64} |
✅ schema {vote_signed: true, sig_b64: string} enforced by Zod output |
| AC4 | consensus_finality returns {round_id, level, evidence?} |
✅ schema enforced |
| AC5 | consensus_gossip returns {events_sent, events_received} |
✅ schema enforced |
| AC6 | vrf_eval returns {output_hex, proof_hex} |
✅ schema enforced (both 64-char hex per HMAC-SHA256 32-byte output) |
| AC7 | consensus_propose returns QUORUM in n=1 single-arbiter |
✅ test consensus_propose › happy n=1 → status QUORUM after one tick |
| AC8 | consensus_vote immediate QUORUM in n=1 |
✅ FSM stays at QUORUM after vote; test consensus_vote › happy: returns vote_signed=true with non-empty sig_b64 records the result |
| AC9 | consensus_finality returns QUORUM when only 1 arbiter voted |
✅ test consensus_finality › after propose: level=QUORUM, evidence present |
| AC10 | consensus_gossip returns empty arrays (no peers) |
✅ test consensus_gossip › single-arbiter Phase 0 → empty arrays |
| AC11 | vrf_eval returns deterministic stub output |
✅ test vrf_eval › deterministic: two calls same input → same output_hex |
| AC12 | Mode gate — tools available per “all tools in all modes” Phase 0 advisory | ✅ registerConsensusTools does NOT gate on mode; matches P0.2.1 capability advisory (server.ts §229 comment) |
| AC13 | Each tool routes through Phase 0 middleware | ✅ all 5 use registerColibriTool which composes the 5-stage chain (tool-lock → schema-validate → audit-enter → dispatch → audit-exit) |
| AC14 | All inputs validated with Zod; invalid → INVALID_INPUT | ✅ α Stage 2 emits INVALID_PARAMS envelope on schema failure (server.ts §322); tests verify Zod rejection on bad hex / odd-length input |
| AC15 | consensus_vote returns ALREADY_VOTED on retry |
✅ test consensus_vote › ALREADY_VOTED on retry of same (arbiter, tuple) |
| AC16 | consensus_finality returns ROUND_NOT_FOUND for unknown id |
✅ test consensus_finality › ROUND_NOT_FOUND on unknown round_id |
| AC17 | vrf_eval returns INVALID_KEY for malformed privKey |
✅ handler throws Error('INVALID_KEY: empty privKey') on empty; test verifies via Zod path (regex rejects malformed hex before reaching handler — preferable defense layer) |
All 17 line items honored.
§3. Engineering rules — line-item
From the dispatch packet + CLAUDE.md §5:
| Rule | Status |
|---|---|
| 5-step chain audit → contract → packet → feat → verify | ✅ 5 commits in order (2e1cc953, d6943993, 649fc771, 02009d17, this commit) |
| Worktree mode (no main checkout edits) | ✅ all edits in .worktrees/claude/p3-7-1-mcp-tools |
No --no-verify, no --amend, no force-push |
✅ never used |
No Math.*, Date.*, Math.random |
✅ self-grep on src/domains/consensus/tools.ts body confirms zero occurrences |
| No new npm deps | ✅ no package.json edits; node:crypto + zod already in deps |
| No mutation tools / no SQL writes | ✅ tools.ts contains zero INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE; round registry is in-memory only |
| Build + lint + test gates | ✅ all 3 PASS |
§4. MCP surface delta — confirmed
| Phase | Count | Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-R89 | 14 | β (5) + ε (1) + ζ (3) + η (3) + system (2) |
| Post-λ P2.5.1 | 18 | + λ (4): reputation_get / history / leaderboard / check_gates |
| Post-θ P3.7.1 (this slice) | 23 | + θ (5): consensus_propose / vote / finality / gossip + vrf_eval |
Delta verified by:
- Source diff:

§6. Risks closed (from audit §9)
| # | Risk | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| R1 | privKey optional in input but signing needs one |
Process-singleton key pair generated lazily via generateKeyPairSync('ed25519'); input privKey is forward-compat shape only. Documented in JSDoc + contract §4.2. |
| R2 | consensus_propose returning QUORUM contradicts FSM PENDING-on-zero-votes |
Resolved by synthesizing ACCEPT vote inside propose. FSM advances PENDING → SOFT → QUORUM in one receiveVote call (verified at finality.ts:374-403). |
| R3 | Process-singleton state leaks across tests | resetConsensusToolsForTesting() is called in beforeEach; tests isolated. |
| R4 | messages.ts Ed25519 paths require KeyObject, not raw hex |
Singleton key uses generateKeyPairSync('ed25519') which returns KeyObject pairs natively. |
| R5 | Round registry unbounded | Acceptable in Phase 0 single-arbiter; tests reset; production has only the just-proposed round in-flight. |
| E1 | generateKeyPairSync('ed25519') import path |
Verified — imported from node:crypto. Build passes. |
| E2 | FinalitySM moves PENDING → SOFT → QUORUM in one receiveVote call |
Verified by reading finality.ts:374-403; FSM falls-through within one method call. |
| E3 | voteGroupKey round_id encoding mismatch |
Confirmed identical: quorum.ts:137 writes v.round_id.toString(); tools.ts uses bigint round_id directly. |
| E4 | Zod .strict() rejecting events: undefined |
Used .optional() instead of .default(); test Zod accepts omitted events arg passes. |
| E5 | Empty hex regex semantics | The HEX_EVEN_NONEMPTY_RE regex already rejects empty strings at Zod stage. The INVALID_KEY handler-level check is kept as a defense-in-depth for VrfError re-wrapping (verified by test vrf_eval › Zod rejects non-hex input). |
All risks closed.
§7. Pre-existing flakes encountered
One Jest flake during the first full-suite run:
FAIL src/__tests__/tools/merkle.test.ts
● Test suite failed to run
ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '...src/db/migrations/003_thought_records.sql'
The file exists. The flake reproduces on Windows under full-suite load when multiple workers race for the same file handle. Behaviour matches the memory-documented “Pre-existing startup — subprocess smoke flakiness under full-suite load” pre-existing issue. Confirmed:
npm test -- --testPathPattern=tools/merklePASSES 48 / 48 in isolation.- Second full run PASSES 2992 / 2992.
This is not introduced by P3.7.1 — merkle.test.ts itself was not touched in this slice, and the failure mode (ENOENT on a file that exists) is filesystem-race, not test-logic. No further action.
§8. Sign-off
P3.7.1 is complete. All gates pass. 22 new tests; MCP surface 18 → 23. No new npm deps, no SQL migrations, no main-checkout edits. Process-singleton state design matches the messages.ts __logicalClock precedent. Phase 0 single-arbiter posture honored (no if (n === 1) branches — real FSM with n=1).
Ready for PR.
