Document the current degraded startup, required/optional, interpolation, redaction, and plugin lifecycle boundaries so follow-up implementation work has a verified source map.
Constraint: Task 7 requested a mapping artifact and worker scope forbids .omx/ultragoal mutation.
Rejected: Implement interpolation or redaction policy changes in this slice | task wording and prior Task 3/6 lanes only required mapping plus verification.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Treat required MCP server handling as metadata-only until a future policy slice explicitly defines fail-hard semantics.
Tested: cargo test -p runtime parses_typed_mcp_and_oauth_config -- --nocapture; cargo test -p runtime manager_discovery_report_keeps_healthy_servers_when_one_server_fails -- --nocapture; cargo test -p runtime manager_records_unsupported_non_stdio_servers_without_panicking -- --nocapture; cargo test -p commands renders_mcp_reports -- --nocapture; cargo test -p plugins installed_plugin_registry_report_collects_load_failures_from_install_root -- --nocapture; cargo test -p rusty-claude-cli --test output_format_contract plugins_json_surfaces_lifecycle_contract_when_plugin_is_installed -- --nocapture
Not-tested: cargo clippy remains blocked by pre-existing runtime::policy_engine::LaneContext clippy::struct_excessive_bools from earlier verification.
