# Sprint 9 Progress — Agent-First Tooling

## Phase 9a: Standalone MCP Server

### Step 245: HeadlessEditorState (no ImGui dependency)
**Status:** PASS (20/20 tests)

Created the headless agent API surface — same method interface as EditorState
but with zero GUI dependencies (no ImGui, no SDL, no WebSocket).

**Files created:**
- `editor/src/ASTUtils.h` — Pure AST utility functions extracted from EditorUtils.h
  (cloneModule, isAnnotationNode, countAnnotationNodes, findNodeById, findNodeAtPosition)
- `editor/src/HeadlessEditorState.h` — Lightweight state: HeadlessAgentState,
  HeadlessLibraryState, HeadlessBufferState, buffer management, orchestrator sync
- `editor/src/HeadlessAgentRPCHandler.h` — Full RPC dispatch mirroring
  AgentRPCHandler.h (20+ methods: getAST, parseSource, runPipeline, applyMutation,
  applyBatch, projectLanguage, generateCode, workflow recording, etc.)
- `editor/tests/step245_test.cpp` — 20 test cases covering construction, buffer
  management, RPC dispatch, permission enforcement, pipeline execution

**Key design decisions:**
- JSON roundtrip cloning (matching EditorUtils.h) instead of manual deep copy
- Separate HeadlessAgentState (no AgentMarketplace/WebSocket dependency chain)
- All files under 600-line architecture limit

### Step 246: mcp_main.cpp — Standalone MCP Server Entry Point
**Status:** PASS (12/12 tests)

Wires HeadlessEditorState + MCPBridge into a standalone `whetstone_mcp` binary
that any MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) can launch over stdio.

**Files created:**
- `editor/src/mcp_main.cpp` — Standalone MCP server entry point with CLI arg
  parsing (--workspace, --language, --verbose), signal handling, resource reader
  lambda routing whetstone:// URIs, and MCPBridge stdio loop
- `editor/tests/step246_test.cpp` — 12 test cases: initialize, notifications,
  tools/list (10+), resources/list (5), prompts/list (4), tools/call pipeline,
  tools/call get_ast, resources/read ast, resources/read diagnostics, ping,
  resources/read settings, CLI arg parsing

**Key design decisions:**
- No SDL, no ImGui, no OpenGL — headless only binary
- Fixed "mcp-session" session ID (MCP stdio is single-client)
- Default Refactor role for full MCP access
- Empty scratch buffer on startup so getAST works immediately
- All logging to stderr (stdout is the MCP transport)
