A lesson's document and a lesson's repository are two separate stores, and the
MCP tools only ever wrote the first. So the History tab said nothing had
happened however much an assistant had rewritten — no diff to read, and nothing
to revert to if the user didn't like it.
recordLessonHistory now commits after every write (create_lesson, update_lesson,
patch_lesson, add_image): it clones the lesson's stored pack, commits the saved
document, and pushes it back under the same per-branch compare-and-swap the
editor uses, so a lesson's variations survive an MCP edit and a save made from
the editor in between is refused rather than overwritten. The commit carries a
line saying an assistant made it and which client it came through — the hub
signs it as the account whose token this is, so without that the user reads
their own name against changes they didn't write.
Two commits where the row had drifted ahead of its history. That is every lesson
edited over MCP before now, plus any save whose push failed: content in the
document that no commit accounts for. Committing it first, labelled as such,
keeps it out of the assistant's diff rather than attributing it there. A lesson
with no history at all gets one started the same way, from its previous content.
Both are no-ops in the ordinary case, since commitDoc compares trees.
None of it can fail the write. The document is saved before any of this runs and
nothing here can unsave it, so a conflict or an R2 hiccup comes back as
`history: { recorded: false, note }` on the result for the assistant to pass on.
Committing as we go broke propose_changes, which assumed a fork's document was
always uncommitted and refused when it found nothing pending. It now proposes
the commits already there, and states `changes` against the merge base with the
target lesson — the diff the reviewer is being asked to judge — rather than
against whatever the last edit happened to do. Finding that merge base means
re-fetching the target: fork_lesson records its tip at refs/remotes/upstream/main,
but a packfile carries branches and nothing else, so that ref does not survive
the round trip through the hub. Proposing from a fork that has not moved since
its proposal is now refused too, rather than bumping the revision on a diff the
reviewer has already read.
The fake hub moves to test/fake-hub.js and gains the per-branch compare-and-swap
the Worker applies, so a push that dropped one of a lesson's variations fails
here the way it would there. SERVER_INFO's version had drifted to 0.7.0 and is
back in step.

Sorry @playforge-coding, you've used your own review budget of 250,000 diff characters for the last 7 days.

Reviewer's GuideMCP lesson writes now create attributed, conflict-safe history commits without compromising document saves, while fork proposals correctly reuse those commits and diff against the target merge base. Tests, documentation, and version metadata were updated to cover and describe the new behavior. Sequence diagram for MCP lesson write and history recordingsequenceDiagram

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe MCP server now records lesson writes as attributed Git history, reports history outcomes, reconciles document drift, and derives proposals from fork history and merge bases. Tests add an in-memory hub and coverage for history, proposal, conflict, and failure paths. ChangesLesson history and proposal flow
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The PR records assistant edits in lesson history and updates proposal behavior; only a minor documentation wording mismatch remains, so no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal review.

Align the propose_changes description with the documented commit history.
Update apps/mcp/src/tools.js:762: the description says the proposal carries one commit, while the documentation says it carries the fork’s sequence of commits.

A lesson's document and a lesson's repository are two separate stores. The web

MCP tools only ever wrote the first. So the History tab said nothing had happened

What this broke, and how it is fixed
propose_changesassumed a fork's document was always uncommitted, and refusedoutright once the edits had committed themselves. It now proposes the commits
already there, and states
changesagainst the merge base with the targetlesson — the diff the reviewer is being asked to judge — rather than against
whatever the last edit happened to do.
Finding that merge base means re-fetching the target:
fork_lessonrecords its tipat
refs/remotes/upstream/main, but a packfile carries branches and nothing else,so that ref does not survive the round trip through the hub. Proposing from a fork
that has not moved since its proposal is refused too, rather than bumping the
revision on a diff the reviewer has already read.
Testing
101 tests pass in
apps/mcp; the monorepo suite is green;pnpm run fmt && pnpm run lintclean.New
test/history.test.jscovers the commit, the provenance note, the catch-upcommit, the seeded-history case, the unchanged no-op, a reported push conflict,
variation branches surviving, and the tools end-to-end through a real MCP client.
The fake hub moves to
test/fake-hub.jsand gains the per-branch compare-and-swapthe Worker applies (
applyRefsin apps/api/src/routes/git.js), so a push thatdropped one of a lesson's variations fails here the way it would there.
Not verified in a browser: the change has no UI of its own, and watching it land in
the History tab needs live Supabase + R2 credentials and a real MCP client. The
packs are instead read back by cloning them the way a fork does.
Docs updated (a new "Every edit is a version" section in the MCP tools page, plus
the proposal mechanics that were now wrong, the MCP overview, and the server-side
section of the version-history page). Version bumped to 0.9.0 in
package.jsonandmanifest.json;SERVER_INFO.versionhad drifted to 0.7.0 and is back in step.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
