reload: pick up the new code, and drop MCP tools that are gone
...
reload_tools reported success while three separate things kept it from
doing what it says.
The bytecode cache is keyed on (mtime in whole seconds, file size), so a
tool edited to the same length inside the same second as its previous
load re-ran the OLD code — the reload was real, the new version was not
live. The loader now compiles the source itself instead of consulting
__pycache__ (importlib.invalidate_caches() does not help here).
MCP registrations only ever grew: register_mcp_tools called
register_external, and unregister_external was used in one place, so a
server removed from the config or a tool a server stopped exposing
stayed in the registry and failed only when the model called it. Reload
now clears external tools and rebuilds them.
enabled.json naming a tool that failed to load (the gmail/html2text case)
was visible only as a log line. It is now part of the report.
The reload itself moves to navi/core/reload.py, one implementation shared
by the tool and the admin route, so the two cannot leave different
toolsets behind. list_tools.py also read enabled.json through its own
cwd-relative path, which made it disagree with the real toolset, and the
class-based loader rejected execute(self, params, ctx=None) — the shape
every built-in uses.

Pass explicit ToolContext to tools instead of hidden ContextVars
...
Add ToolContext dataclass (session_id, event_sink, stop_event, model,
user_id, user_role, user_info) and thread it through the execution chain:
Agent._execute_tools_with_sink → ToolExecutor → tool.execute().
All ~25 tools updated to accept ctx parameter. Tools that previously
read ContextVar now prefer ctx when provided, falling back to
ContextVar for backward compatibility.
Tests updated to pass ToolContext explicitly — no more test fixtures
that set current_session_id / current_user_id ContextVars.
ContextVar setters remain as fallback for non-tool consumers
(ai_helper, context_builder, planning) and will be removed in a
follow-up refactor.

Migrate MCP tool naming from mcp:server:tool to mcp__server__tool
...
The colon separator (mcp:server:tool) confuses many LLMs during
tool-calling because colons appear in schemas and URLs. Switch to
double-underscore separator (mcp__server__tool) for robust parsing.
Key changes:
- navi/mcp/tools.py: add build_mcp_name(), parse_mcp_name(), is_mcp_tool()
- navi/core/tool_executor.py: update _resolve_tool() with new helpers
and legacy colon fallback for old sessions
- navi/core/tool_utils.py, subagent_runner.py: use build_mcp_name()
- navi/api/routes/{admin,agents}.py: prefix via build_mcp_name()
- navi/tools/{list_tools,reload_tools}.py: migrated
- All profile configs + system_prompt.txt: replace mcp: with mcp__
- manuals/{model_3d,lint_scad,render_3d,spawn_agent}.md: updated
- mcp_servers.d/gnexus-book.json: instructions updated
- docs/{api,profiles,tools,mechanics,visual.html}: updated
- tests: test_tool_executor.py and test_mcp.py aligned

Refactor: move tool helper modules into _internal subpackage
...
Moves non-tool infrastructure out of navi/tools/ root so that only
actual tool classes live there:
base.py → _internal/base.py
loader.py → _internal/loader.py
middleware.py → _internal/middleware.py
logging_middleware.py → _internal/logging_middleware.py
_time_parser.py → _internal/time_parser.py
All imports updated across core/, api/, mcp/, tools/, and tests/.
No proxy files remain in navi/tools/ root.

Rename MCP tools to mcp:server:tool format and restore human-readable names
...
- Core naming: mcp_server_tool → mcp:server:tool (colon-delimited)
- navi-web tools: search/view/request → web_search/web_view/http_request
- navi-3d tools: compile_scad/render_stl/lint_scad (unchanged names)
- Updated all profile configs, system prompts, docs, manuals, tests
- Added new lint_scad.md manual
- Fixed modeler_3d prompt stale references (scad_lint, model_3d, render_3d)
- All 240 tests pass

Add MCP server support and fix memory tools user isolation
...
MCP integration:
- New navi/mcp/ package: client, manager, config, tools
- ToolRegistry learns register_external() for MCP tools
- reload_tools reconnects MCP servers on hot reload
- New built-in mcp_status tool
- Startup/shutdown wiring for MCP connections
- 12 new tests (unit + integration with real stdio server)
Memory tools fix:
- memory, memory_save, memory_search, memory_forget now read
current_user_id from tool context and pass it to MemoryStore
- Fixes invisible facts for authenticated users

Add context providers: dynamic system message injection per LLM call
...
- navi/context_providers/ registry + built-in public_url provider (global, always injected)
- context_providers/ user directory, hot-reloaded via reload_tools
- AgentProfile.context_providers field for per-profile opt-in providers
- Agent._collect_context_injections() called before every tool-calling loop
- reload_tools now reloads both user tools and user context providers
- manuals/write_context_provider.md for Navi, docs/context_providers.md reference

Add self-extension tool system: write_tool, list_tools, tool_manual
...
- loader.py: module-level format (name/description/parameters/execute)
preferred, class-based as fallback; isolated errors per file
- write_tool: validates + writes tools/name.py, reloads registry,
adds to tools/enabled.json in one call
- list_tools: live tool list from registry (prevents hallucination)
- tool_manual: serves manuals/*.md or auto-generates from schema
- reload_tools: hot-reload without server restart
- registry: registry injection pattern for tools that need it;
_builtin_names set to guard against reload overwriting builtins
