Summary

The react tool (and friends β€” pin_message, get_member_info, download_media, etc.) were occasionally failing with:

MCP error -32602: Input validation error
expected: number, code: invalid_type, path: [message_id]
message: Invalid input: expected number, received string

…even when the model formatted the call correctly for a JSON Schema number field. The bug surfaced live in DM mid-conversation when react(message_id=2081, emoji="❀️") rejected β€” same model output worked for send(reply_to=2081) because that field is .optional() and apparently took a different path.

Cause

Some MCP transport / model paths deliver message_id, user_id, reply_to, offset_id as JSON strings ("2081") rather than numbers (2081). Plain z.number() rejects those. The bridge handlers in actions.ts already do Number(body.message_id), so they're tolerant β€” but the schema validation runs first and rejects before the handler ever sees the call.

Fix

Switch every ID-shaped field in tool input schemas to z.coerce.number().int():

  • accepts numbers as-is
  • coerces numeric strings ("2081" β†’ 2081)
  • rejects non-numeric strings ("abc" β†’ NaN β†’ fails .int())
  • rejects non-integers (1.5 β†’ fails .int())

Affected fields: message_id, user_id, reply_to, offset_id across messaging.ts, members.ts, stickers.ts, history.ts (13 occurrences total).

Tests

New file: src/__tests__/tool-id-coercion.test.ts

  • Spot-checks 14 tool/field pairs: each accepts a number, accepts a numeric string (and coerces), rejects a non-numeric string, rejects a non-integer.
  • Audit test that walks every ALL_TOOLS schema and fails if any field whose name is in {message_id, user_id, reply_to, offset_id} still uses raw z.number(). This caught one I missed on the first pass (download_media) β€” kept in to prevent future regressions.

Verification

  • βœ… 1424 / 1424 tests passing (was 1397 before, +27 from new file)
  • βœ… tsc --noEmit clean
  • βœ… npm run lint unchanged (9 pre-existing warnings, 0 errors)

Test plan

  • After merge, restart Talon and call react(message_id=N, emoji="❀️") β€” should succeed
  • Same for pin_message, get_member_info, download_media
  • delete_message, forward_message, edit_message, stop_poll, unpin_message β€” sanity-check still work with regular number inputs

πŸ€– Generated with Claude Code

Some MCP transport / model paths deliver `message_id`, `user_id`,
`reply_to`, `offset_id` as JSON strings ("2081") rather than numbers
(2081). The schemas used `z.number()`, which rejects those with
`expected number, received string` β€” manifesting as `react`,
`pin_message`, `get_member_info`, `download_media`, etc. failing
with InputValidationError even when the model formatted the call
correctly for a number-typed JSON Schema field.

Switch every ID-shaped field to `z.coerce.number().int()`:
  - accepts numbers as-is
  - coerces numeric strings ("2081" β†’ 2081)
  - rejects non-numeric strings ("abc" β†’ NaN β†’ fails .int())
  - rejects non-integers (1.5 β†’ fails .int())

Audit test (`tool-id-coercion.test.ts`) walks every tool schema
and fails if any field whose name is in {message_id, user_id,
reply_to, offset_id} still uses raw `z.number()`. Caught one I
missed on the first pass (`download_media`).

1424/1424 tests passing, tsc clean, lint unchanged (9 pre-existing
warnings, 0 errors).

… wiring

Two new layers of coverage in src/__tests__/tool-functional.test.ts:

Part A β€” Tool definition β†’ bridge call (29 cases)
  For each tool, parse representative params through the zod schema,
  call tool.execute(parsed, mockBridge), and assert the bridge was
  called with the right action name and shape.
  - Single-action telegram tools: react, edit_message, delete_message,
    forward_message, pin_message, unpin_message, stop_poll,
    get_member_info, get_message_by_id, download_media.
  - send tool dispatches: text / text-with-reply / text-with-buttons /
    delayed text β†’ schedule_message / photo / file / video / voice /
    audio / animation / sticker / poll / poll→quiz / location /
    contact / dice — 16 dispatch cases proving the type→bridge map.
  - End-to-end coercion: stringified message_id / reply_to / user_id
    must arrive at the bridge as numbers after passing through the
    schema layer.

Part B β€” Bridge β†’ Telegram Bot API (15 cases)
  createTelegramActionHandler is invoked with synthesized action
  bodies and a stubbed bot.api / gateway. Asserts the right
  bot.api.* method is called with the right arguments.
  - react: standard call, stringified-fallback safety, fallback to πŸ‘
    when custom emoji is rejected by Telegram.
  - delete_message, pin_message, unpin_message (with + without id).
  - forward_message: in-chat happy path AND cross-chat refusal.
  - copy_message.
  - edit_message: HTML-rendered call shape AND TELEGRAM_MAX_TEXT
    refusal at 5000 chars.
  - send_chat_action.
  - send_message: full chain incl. gateway.incrementMessages and
    reply_parameters.
  - schedule_message + cancel_scheduled lifecycle (no real timer fires).

These catch the failure modes plain schema tests miss: action-name
typos between tool and handler, multiplexed dispatch wiring,
post-schema coercion behaviour, and silent grammy API arg drift.

1468/1468 tests passing (was 1424 before this commit, +44 here).
tsc clean, lint unchanged (9 pre-existing warnings, 0 errors).

Pull request overview

This PR addresses MCP tool input validation failures caused by some transport/model paths delivering numeric ID parameters as JSON strings, by updating tool Zod schemas to coerce ID-shaped fields into integers and adding regression tests to prevent regressions.

Changes:

  • Updated tool input schemas to use integer coercion for message_id, user_id, reply_to, and offset_id.
  • Added a regression test suite to verify ID coercion behavior and audit all tool schemas for remaining raw ID z.number() usage.
  • Added a functional test suite covering toolβ†’bridge wiring and Telegram action handlerβ†’grammy API calls.

Addresses Copilot review on PR #103: `z.coerce.number().int()` was
too lax β€” it happily turns `""`/`null` into `0` and `true` into `1`,
both of which then pass `.int()` and reach the bot API.

Replace ad-hoc `z.coerce.number().int()` with a single shared
`idSchema` in `src/core/tools/schemas.ts`:

  z.union([
    z.number().int().positive(),
    z.string().regex(/^\d+$/).transform(Number).pipe(z.number().int().positive()),
  ])

Accepts:
  - 2081           β†’ 2081
  - "2081"         β†’ 2081

Rejects:
  - "" / "   "     (empty / whitespace strings)
  - "abc" / "1abc" (non-digit / mixed strings)
  - null / undefined
  - true / false
  - 0 / negative
  - 1.5 / non-integer

Applied across messaging.ts, history.ts, members.ts, stickers.ts β€”
13 fields total.

Audit test in `tool-id-coercion.test.ts` upgraded to walk every
ID field on every tool and assert the full accept/reject contract
(not just "accepts a numeric string"). 168 generated cases plus 56
hand-rolled spot-checks = 224 ID-coercion assertions, all green.

Total: 1635 / 1635 tests passing, tsc clean, lint unchanged.

Addressed Copilot's review in commit 5e8caf6:

1. z.coerce.number().int() was too lax (called out on messaging.ts:48 and history.ts:26).
Replaced with a single shared idSchema in src/core/tools/schemas.ts:

z.union([
  z.number().int().positive(),
  z.string().regex(/^\d+$/).transform(Number).pipe(z.number().int().positive()),
])

Now rejects: "", " ", "abc", "1abc", null, undefined, true, false, 0, negatives, non-integers. Accepts only positive integers (numbers) or digit-only strings (which are coerced to positive integers). Applied across all 13 ID fields in messaging.ts, history.ts, members.ts, stickers.ts.

2. Audit test was too loose (called out on tool-id-coercion.test.ts:90).
Rewritten to walk every ID field on every tool and assert the full accept/reject contract β€” accepts a number, accepts a digit string and returns a number with Number.isInteger, AND rejects all 10 problematic inputs ("", whitespace, "abc", mixed, null, true, false, 0, -1, 1.5). 168 generated assertions + 56 hand-rolled spot-checks.

3. PR description coverage (called out on tool-functional.test.ts:22).
The PR description was updated to cover both tool-id-coercion.test.ts and tool-functional.test.ts immediately after the second commit was pushed (before Copilot's review submitted). The description now has dedicated sections for both files. βœ… already done.

Final verification:

  • βœ… 1635 / 1635 tests passing
  • βœ… tsc --noEmit clean
  • βœ… npm run lint unchanged (9 pre-existing warnings, 0 errors)

* Use this instead of `z.number()` or `z.coerce.number()` for any ID
* field on tool input schemas. The plain coercion path was too lax β€”
* `z.coerce.number().int()` happily turns `null`/`""` into `0` and
* `true` into `1`, both of which the Telegram bot API would then
* dispatch to. The strict union avoids that.

…w, lockfile portability, tarball validation

Per Dylan's "overhaul the CI and make it much more comprehensive and
robust." Five new jobs gated through the existing `CI Status` aggregate,
plus a real package-distribution fix the new tarball checker uncovered.

## What's new

### `integration` β€” MCP-functional tier in CI (Ubuntu/macOS/Windows Γ— Node 22)

The new MCP-functional tier from #131 (`talon-mcp-functional.test.ts`)
now runs on every PR + push across the full OS matrix. Catches
SDK→MCP→bridge→handler integration bugs (the PR #122 prefix-mismatch
class) without needing a live external service.

Builds the stub-claude SEA binary on Windows (Node 20.19+ blocks
spawning .cmd shims via child_process.spawn β€” CVE-2024-27980 mitigation).

### `secrets` β€” gitleaks scan on every push + PR

`gitleaks/gitleaks-action@v2` with `fetch-depth: 0` so it sees full
git history, not just the latest commit. Catches API keys, bot tokens,
.env files committed by accident, OAuth secrets, private keys.

### `dep-review` β€” github/dependency-review-action on PRs

Diffs lockfile changes against the GitHub Advisory Database.
`fail-on-severity: moderate` β€” moderate or higher CVE in any newly
introduced dep blocks the PR. Comments summary on PR on failure.

PR-only (no main-branch run); `ci-ok` treats `skipped` as ok.

### `lockfile` β€” portability check in fresh tmpdir

Copies ONLY `package.json` + `package-lock.json` to a fresh tmpdir
and runs `npm ci --ignore-scripts --no-audit` there. Same check as
`tools/verify-lockfile.sh` locally. Catches the "lockfile drift" /
"lockfile only validates with `--include=optional`" classes the
heartbeat journal documented (hb #48 / #103).

The other test jobs run `npm ci` in the source tree where
`node_modules` state could mask portability bugs. This one starts
from zero, every run.

### `tarball` β€” validates `npm pack` contents

New `.github/scripts/tarball-check.mjs` β€” runs `npm pack`, inspects
the resulting tarball for forbidden patterns:

- `.env*`, `credentials.json`, `*.key`, `*.pem`, `id_rsa`, etc.
- `__tests__/`, `*.test.ts`, `*.spec.ts`
- `node_modules`, `.git`, `coverage`, sourcemaps, `.vscode`, `.idea`,
  `.DS_Store`
- Tarball size > 5MB (catches accidental large-file commits)
- `package.json` / `README` missing

Also prints a sorted top-10 largest files for the CI step summary.

## Real bug uncovered

The tarball checker's first run flagged **270+ test files were being
shipped in the npm tarball**. `package.json#files` listed `"src/"`
which swept in the entire test suite. Fixed by replacing the broad
`"src/"` entry with explicit subdirs:

  - "src/backend/", "src/core/", "src/frontend/", "src/plugins/",
    "src/storage/", "src/util/"
  - "src/bootstrap.ts", "src/cli.ts", "src/index.ts", "src/login.ts"

Tarball size dropped from including 270+ test files to a clean 99
source-only files (180KB β†’ still 180KB but with no test scaffolding).
Future versions of `talon-agent` on npm won't ship test fixtures.

## Coverage config

`vitest.config.ts`: added an exclude list (test files, integration
scaffolding, entry points) and `lcov` reporter for tooling
compatibility (codecov, IDE plugins). Thresholds left at 60% for now β€”
ratcheting up is out of scope for this PR (would risk breaking CI on
unrelated paths).

## ci-ok gate

Updated to require all 10 jobs (was 6). Branch protection in
`.github/branch-protection.json` already gates merges on `CI Status`,
so adding a new required job means adding it to the `needs:` list +
the `check` calls in the gate script β€” no separate config change.

## Test plan

- [x] `tsc --noEmit` clean
- [x] `prettier --check` clean on touched files
- [x] `npm run test:integration` passes locally (4 tests)
- [x] `npm run tarball:check` passes locally β€” clean tarball
- [x] Lockfile portability passes (replicated tmpdir check, 7s npm ci)
- [x] YAML syntax valid
- [x] Existing test suite unaffected (1711 tests pass + 1 pre-existing main flake)

* ci: drop Windows from integration job β€” MCP-dispatch chain doesn't run there yet

The MCP-functional tier passes on Ubuntu + macOS but fails on Windows:
the stub's SEA-bundled MCP client + StdioClientTransport spawn-and-fetch
chain to the recording handler doesn't complete under SEA-on-Windows.
Three of four cases see zero captures at the recording handler, even
though `PostToolBatch: terminating SDK loop on mcp__telegram-tools__end_turn`
fires (so the SDK loop sees the tool, but MCP dispatch never lands).

Likely culprits to investigate (out of scope for this PR):
- esbuild SEA bundle handling of the dynamic `await import("@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/...")`
- StdioClientTransport.spawn behavior under SEA-on-Windows
- Localhost loopback / fetch from spawned subprocess on Windows

The other Windows test paths still run β€” `Tests (windows-latest, Node 22)`
and `Functional (windows-latest)` cover the platform without MCP dispatch
(sdk-stub, talon-functional). Reinstating Windows for `integration` is
gated on root-causing the failure.

* Revert "ci: drop Windows from integration job β€” MCP-dispatch chain doesn't run there yet"

This reverts commit 6410446.

* fix(integration): static MCP imports + protocol-log-on-failure for Windows debugging

Two changes targeting the Windows integration failure:

1. fake-claude.mjs: convert dynamic `await import("@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/...")`
   to static top-level imports. Likely root cause of the Windows failure β€”
   esbuild's CJS bundling preserves `await import(literal)` as `Promise.resolve(require(literal))`,
   which works locally where node_modules exists, but the SEA binary on
   Windows ships only the bundled .cjs without node_modules. Static
   imports force esbuild to inline the SDK module bodies into the bundle.

   Verified: rebuilt SEA bundle locally, `grep "var StdioClientTransport"
   fake-claude.cjs` confirms the SDK is now inlined.

2. talon-mcp-functional.test.ts: add `withProtocolLogOnFailure()` helper.
   The MCP-functional tier has subprocess hops (SDK loop β†’ MCP server
   spawn β†’ bridge HTTP) that produce no Vitest output when something
   goes wrong upstream of the actual `expect(...)`. This wrapper dumps
   the last 60 lines of the stub's protocol log on assertion failure
   so future Windows regressions are diagnosable from the CI log
   directly. Wraps the canary first test only (the others' assertions
   are all downstream of the same MCP path).

Local: all 11 MCP-functional tests still pass on Linux. Windows
verification has to come from the CI run on this branch.

* fix(mcp-server): unify Windows + POSIX command path β€” node --import tsx, not npx tsx

Real root cause of the Windows integration failure.

`buildMcpServers` was spawning `npx tsx <path>` on Windows and
`node --import <tsx-loader> <path>` on POSIX. The Windows path goes
through the MCP launcher (which proxies stdio), so the launcher then
runs `child_process.spawn("npx", [...])` to start the actual MCP server.

Node 20.19+ refuses to execute `.cmd` shims via `child_process.spawn`
without `shell: true` (CVE-2024-27980 mitigation). `npx` on Windows IS
a .cmd shim. Result: the launcher's spawn fails immediately, the MCP
server never starts, the stub's MCP client tries to connect over a
dead pipe and gets `MCP error -32000: Connection closed`.

The earlier hypothesis (SEA bundle missing dynamic imports) was wrong
β€” the static-imports change in 9507333 is still the right fix
(removes a dynamic-import gotcha entirely), but the actual blocker
was this command shape.

Fix: use `node --import <tsx-loader> <path>` on every platform. tsx as
a Node loader is platform-identical, and we never spawn `npx.cmd`. The
launcher's spawn now hits a plain `node` binary, which works under
Node's CVE mitigation.

Verified locally: 11 / 11 MCP-functional tests still pass on Linux.
Windows verification: this branch's CI run.

Diagnostic from the previous failed Windows CI run that pinned this:

  MCP_CONFIG servers: ["telegram-tools"]
  MCP connect error for telegram-tools: MCP error -32000: Connection closed

The launcher's spawned child died before completing initialize.

* fix(mcp-server): convert tsx loader path to file:// URL for Windows

Second Windows iteration. Same `MCP error -32000: Connection closed` after
the previous fix, even with `node --import <path>` everywhere. The remaining
issue: `--import` accepts URLs or paths, but on Windows a raw backslash
path like `D:\a\talon\talon\node_modules\tsx\dist\esm\index.mjs` is
ambiguous between path and URL. Node's loader-hook resolution silently
fails to register tsx, every subsequent `.ts` import in `mcp-server.ts`
throws, the MCP server crashes, the stub's MCP client gets "Connection
closed" on its initialize handshake.

Fix: convert via `pathToFileURL(resolve(...)).href` so the loader URL is
always a clean `file:///D:/.../index.mjs` regardless of platform. Linux
already worked because `/path/to/foo.mjs` is unambiguous as both a path
and a URL.

Local: 11 / 11 still pass on Linux. Windows: this commit's CI run is
the truth-or-not test.
