📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe server now delegates tool registration to modular standard and Codex tool surfaces. Shared modules provide contracts, result formatting, widget metadata, logging, and patch helpers. Tests cover tool modes and independent widget modes. ChangesTool surface modularization
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This refactor can give Codex users incorrect guidance when skills are disabled and can report inaccurate added/removed line counts for certain file contents.

Greptile SummaryThe PR extracts mode-specific MCP tool registration and instructions from the core server into typed standard and Codex tool surfaces while preserving shared workspace, widget, logging, and response behavior.
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge with no actionable regressions identified. The extracted registrations preserve the existing tool schemas, workspace-boundary checks, process behavior, logging, response metadata, and mode-specific instructions, while the new tests verify each advertised tool matrix and widget combination.

| Filename | Overview |
|---|---|
| src/server.ts | Replaces distributed mode branches with one selected tool surface while retaining common workspace, widget, artifact, and server orchestration. |
| src/tool-surfaces/index.ts | Defines the minimal, full, and Codex compositions and preserves their existing mode-specific instructions. |
| src/tool-surfaces/standard.ts | Moves standard mutation, search, directory, and shell registrations without identified behavioral changes. |
| src/tool-surfaces/codex.ts | Moves Codex patch and process-session tools without identified schema, lifecycle, or response changes. |
| src/tool-surfaces/shared.ts | Centralizes unchanged widget metadata, logging, text-response, and diff-summary helpers. |
| src/server.test.ts | Adds coverage for advertised tools across all modes and independent widget composition. |

applyPatchthrows for a rejected patch, for a missing file, and for a path outside the workspace root (seesrc/apply-patch.tslines 343-410). This handler has no failure path, sologToolCallruns only on success. The standard surface logs both outcomes throughlogFailedToolResponse.The result is that patch rejections leave no log record in the Codex surface. Wrap the call and log the failure before rethrowing.

Honor skillsEnabled in Codex instructions.
Line 29 discards ToolInstructionContext. src/server.ts only adds skills when config.skillsEnabled is true, but CODEX_INSTRUCTIONS always directs the model to read skill files. This changes the disabled-skills behavior for Codex mode and omits the supplied agent guidance.
Compose agents and skills here. Remove the duplicated hard-coded instruction text.
Proposed fix
-const CODEX_INSTRUCTIONS = `Use ${toolNames.read} for direct file reads, apply_patch for all file modifications, exec_command for inspection, tests, builds, and other commands, and write_stdin to poll or interact with running processes. Follow instructions returned by ${toolNames.openWorkspace}; read applicable instruction and skill files before working in their scope.`;

Count diff lines only after a hunk header.
Line 111 skips an added line whose file content starts with ++. Line 112 has the same defect for removed content starting with --. For example, newFilePatch() serializes added ++value as +++value, so the write-tool summary reports zero additions.
Track whether parsing is inside a hunk before excluding file headers. Add fixtures for +++value and ---value content lines.

Use workspace terminology in workspaceIdDescription.
Line 20 describes the handle as the current project's workspaceId. A project can have multiple workspaces for different checkout or worktree modes. Describe this value as the current workspace handle so callers do not reuse it after changing workspace context.
Proposed fix
export const workspaceIdDescription =
- "Workspace to use. Reuse the current project's workspaceId.";
+ "Workspace to use. Reuse the current workspaceId.";As per coding guidelines: “Treat every operation as workspace-scoped and use workspaceId as the opaque handle returned by open_workspace. Do not conflate workspaces, allowed roots, checkouts, or worktrees.”

Mode selection previously lived throughout
src/server.ts, so each tool family and the server instructions had to branch onconfig.toolMode. This extracts typed standard and Codex tool surfaces with shared registration/response helpers, then selects one surface once when creating the MCP server. The core server remains responsible for workspace lifecycle, artifacts, and review/widget orchestration; widget modes continue to compose independently.The existing environment/config semantics are unchanged. Focused contract tests cover the minimal, full, and Codex tool matrices plus widget combinations. Verified with
npm test,npm run typecheck, andnpm run build; the build retains the repository's existing large-chunk warnings.Summary by CodeRabbit
