telegram-all MCP reconnect 失敗 -32000 on Claude Code startup

[kiki830621]

Problem

Original brief(verbatim from /mcp output):

❯ /mcp
  ⎿  Failed to reconnect to plugin:che-telegram-mcp:telegram-all: -32000 可能你要看清楚 /plugin-update

— Source: Claude Code prompt on 2026-05-21 session startup, working directory /Users/che/Developer/che-msg

Claude Code session 啟動時跑 /mcp 顯示 plugin:che-telegram-mcp:telegram-all 無法 reconnect,JSON-RPC error code -32000(Server error,通用)。

對比同 session 的 startup hook 輸出(都正常):

• ✓ che-apple-notes-mcp v0.2.0 (latest)
• ✓ che-ical-mcp v1.10.0 (latest)
• ✓ telegram-all (TDLib) v0.5.0 installed: /Users/che/bin/CheTelegramAllMCP
• ✓ telegram-bot v0.5.0 installed: /Users/che/bin/CheTelegramBotMCP
• ✓ API ID / API Hash / Bot Token 都在 Keychain

也就是 binary file v0.5.0 確實在,startup hook 的 health check 過了 —— 但 Claude Code 的 MCP transport 在 reconnect 時失敗。

使用者觀察(verbatim from brief):

可能你要看清楚 /plugin-update

懷疑 plugin auto-upgrade 流程(che-telegram-mcp plugin v1.3.0 加的 sidecar versioning binary auto-download)可能有 race / 殘留 process / 狀態未清。這只是假設,實際 root cause 待 diagnose。

Type

bug

Expected

• /mcp 顯示 telegram-all ✓ connected
• mcp__plugin_che-telegram-mcp_telegram-all__* tools 在工具清單裡可用(send_message / search / get_chat_history / dump_chat_to_markdown 等)

Actual

• /mcp 顯示 Failed to reconnect to plugin:che-telegram-mcp:telegram-all: -32000
• 對應 MCP tools 不出現在這個 session 的工具清單
• 其他 MCP server(telegram-bot, che-ical-mcp, che-apple-notes-mcp)同 session 都正常 — 隔離問題在 telegram-all 這隻
• Binary 本身存在,startup hook 確認版本 v0.5.0

Trigger

Claude Code session 啟動時 /mcp 就看到 — 不是 runtime 中途斷線

Impact

• 個人帳號 Telegram MCP 完全無法使用 → send / search / get_chat_history / dump_chat_to_markdown 全失效
• 工作流程裡需要從 Telegram 抽 source / tag 對話的步驟全部 block
• Priority: P1(本週要解決)

Environment

• Date: 2026-05-21
• Platform: darwin 25.4.0
• Working directory: /Users/che/Developer/che-msg
• Binary path: /Users/che/bin/CheTelegramAllMCP v0.5.0(universal,Developer ID signed + notarized per release pipeline)
• Plugin: che-telegram-mcp from psychquant-claude-plugins marketplace
• MCP server id 在 plugin 內: telegram-all

Diagnosis hints(待 idd-diagnose 驗證)

1. Stderr log: 看 ~/Library/Logs/Claude/ 下 mcp-server-* 內 telegram-all 對應的 log file(注意 macOS 用 display_name 命名 log,不是技術 id)
2. 手動跑 binary 看是否 crash on stdin:echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{}}' | /Users/che/bin/CheTelegramAllMCP
3. Stale process / pipe: ps aux | grep CheTelegramAllMCP,看有沒有殘留
4. Plugin wrapper 順序: che-telegram-mcp plugin 的 .mcp.json + wrapper script,確認 session 啟動時 binary spawn 的 path / args
5. 與 /plugin-update 的時序關係: 確認上一次成功連線到這次失敗之間有沒有跑過 plugin-update / auto-upgrade
6. 比對 telegram-bot 成功路徑: 同 plugin 內 telegram-bot 同 session 正常,差異點縮在 telegram-all 專屬程式碼(TDLib bootstrap / auth flow / receive loop)

Cross-references

• Memory: feedback_binary_plugin_auto_upgrade.md — 之前因 wrapper 缺 version-check 導致 v0.4.3 binary 卡住,後在 plugin v1.3.0 修正(sidecar versioning + DESIRED_VERSION + atomic mv)
• 此 issue 可能是該機制的後續 regression,或新 failure mode

Clarification (added during /idd-diagnose 2026-05-21)

Q: Acceptance criteria — 這個 issue 的 "done" 是哪個?
A: (b) 被 block 時 surface human-readable error + 復原指令 → 對應 Diagnosis Strategy A+D。

Concretely:

• Wrapper lock-refused 分支 emit MCP-shaped JSON-RPC error to stdout(取代目前只 echo stderr + exit 1)
• User 在 /mcp 看到 Another instance running (PID NNNN). Kill it first or use that Claude Code window. 而非通用 -32000
• 加 plugin README 的 "Multi-session limitation" 段,說明 TDLib upstream constraint
• 不做 auto-reap stale binary(B/C 太危險,user explicitly skipped)
• 不只 doc(D-only — user explicitly chose UX fix in addition)

未選定但 open 的 sub-decision:

• 要不要 同時加 session-start hook 先 warn(option B,可以跟 b 組合)
• 要不要 同時加 binary --check-stale 子命令(Strategy D 的一部分)

Current Status

Phase: closed
Last updated: 2026-05-25 by /idd-close (PR #90 merged d4d7c2e)

Key Decisions

• Empirical re-test concluded 2026-05-22 via expect-driven fresh Claude Code session + --debug mcp log capture
  • Cache wrapper swap → spawn fresh session → /mcp → captured /tmp/cc-mcp-debug-31.log (1978 lines)
  • Debug log line 1295 confirms: Claude Code's MCP transport DID parse our envelope + stored full message:

    Connection failed: MCP error -32000:
    Another instance of CheTelegramAllMCP is already running (lock held by PID 11252).
    Use the existing Claude Code window, or kill the previous wrapper first.
    

  • Verdict: PR-90 + PR-1b satisfies acceptance criterion (b) at the MCP protocol level
• **PR-1b shipd on same branch** (idd/31-mcp-error-surfacecommit9387965+ CHANGELOG update38a5ffd`):
  • read_initialize_id() reads stdin with 2s timeout, extracts JSON-RPC id, falls back to null on timeout/parse failure
  • jq preferred, bash regex fallback for portability
  • Both lock-refused branches (flock + mkdir) updated
  • 2 new tests in test-wrapper-mcp-error.sh: id-matching + timeout fallback. All 6 GREEN.
  • Existing test-wrapper-pid.sh 10/10 still GREEN (no regression)
• Known UX gap (out of plugin scope): Claude Code's /mcp short-list UI may always show -32000 truncated form, not the full message. The full message IS captured internally and surfaces in:
  • --debug mcp log output
  • Any downstream tools/list / tool-call error responses
  • Future Claude Code UI improvements to /mcp may surface it directly

Scope Changes

• 5th commit 9387965 added during empirical follow-up (PR-1b)
• 6th commit 38a5ffd documents the empirical findings in CHANGELOG

Blocking

• (none) — fix is empirically verified at the MCP protocol level
• Optional: open follow-up issue for Claude Code upstream re: /mcp UI showing full error.message (not in this PR/repo's scope)

PR-2 (binary --check-stale in che-msg) remains optional — Plan allows opt-out. Acceptance (b) is met by PR-90 alone.

Recovery for current stale state: the stale processes (PID 11252 + 11266 from Wed 2026-05-20) are still holding the lock. To get telegram-all working in current sessions:

pkill CheTelegramAllMCP 2>/dev/null; rm -rf ~/.cache/che-telegram-all-mcp.lock ~/.cache/che-telegram-all-mcp.lock.flock
# Then Cmd-Q Claude Code + reopen

Diagnosis

Type

bug — but partially "working as designed",真正可修的 surface 是 UX / error visibility,而非 lock 機制本身

Root Cause

TL;DR

昨天 15:00 起的 Claude Code session (PID 11059) 從來沒退出。它的 wrapper.sh (PID 11252) + binary (PID 11266) 仍持有 TDLib 的 SQLite db locks + ~/.cache/che-telegram-all-mcp.lock。今天新 session 啟動時 wrapper 對 lock owner 跑 kill -0 偵測 → owner 11252 活著 → wrapper 拒絕啟動 → stderr 印 "Another instance is already running ... lock held by PID 11252" 後 exit。Claude Code MCP transport 只 surface 通用 -32000,stderr 訊息沒到 user 眼睛,所以表面看起來就是「不知為何 reconnect 失敗」。

Evidence chain

ps aux | grep CheTelegram*MCP 的時候找到:

PID	Started	Command	角色
11059	Wed May 20 15:00:15	claude --dangerously-skip-permissions	昨天的 Claude Code session,仍活著
11252	Wed May 20 15:00:15	bash .../che-telegram-all-mcp-wrapper.sh	Wrapper 子 process
11266	Wed May 20 15:00:16	/Users/che/bin/CheTelegramAllMCP	Binary,持有 TDLib db locks

對比 telegram-bot(同 plugin、同 session 正常):14 個 instance 各跑各的 — Telegram Bot API 是 HTTP stateless,沒共享 state file。這個對照組是 isolation 的 smoking gun:不是 plugin / 不是 wrapper / 不是 Claude Code MCP 框架的問題,而是 telegram-all 用 TDLib 必有的 single-instance constraint。

TDLib 端的證據(lsof)

PID 11266 持有的 file handles:

21u  REG   1708032  db.sqlite          (TDLib 主 db,1.7MB)
22u  REG   9554312  db.sqlite-wal      (Write-Ahead Log,9.5MB — 表示有未 checkpoint 的寫入)
23u  REG    32768   db.sqlite-shm      (Shared Memory,SQLite WAL 模式必備)
30w  REG   864652   td.binlog          (TDLib binary log)

SQLite WAL 模式下 db.sqlite-shm 是 exclusive lock 載體。第二個 process 開同一個 db 會立刻拿到 SQLITE_BUSY / SQLITE_LOCKED。TDLib 本質沒辦法多 process 並用(這是 upstream 設計,不是我們的 bug)。

Lock file 端的證據

~/.cache/che-telegram-all-mcp.lock/owner.pid 內容 = 11252,正是昨天 wrapper 的 PID。

Wrapper.sh 第 125-135 行的 mkdir-based atomic claim 邏輯:

read -r OWNER_PID < "$LOCK_DIR/owner.pid"
if [[ "$OWNER_PID" =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]] && ! kill -0 "$OWNER_PID" 2>/dev/null; then
    # stale-cleanup 分支(owner 死了才會跑)
    ...
fi
echo "$BINARY_NAME: Another instance is already running (lock held by PID ${OWNER_PID:-?}). Use the existing Claude Code window, or kill the previous wrapper first." >&2
exit 1

kill -0 11252 成功 → wrapper 正確拒絕 → exit 1。MCP transport 看到 exit-with-no-output → 報 -32000。

跟 /plugin-update hint 對焦

User 在 issue 寫「可能你要看清楚 /plugin-update」。方向相近但因果鏈不是這樣:

• ❌ /plugin-update 流程本身不是 bug source
• ✓ 但 /plugin-update 之後 Claude Code 會嘗試 reload plugin → 重 spawn wrapper → 撞上同一個 lock-refusal 路徑

換句話說,只要 stale session 在,任何新 wrapper spawn 都會失敗 — /plugin-update 不是病因,只是其中一個觸發症狀的時機。User 觀察到的時序相關性是真的,因果方向需要修正。

Impact

• 本地:單一 Claude Code session 可正常用 telegram-all,但同時開 2+ session 時只有最早那個能用,其他 silent fail with -32000(無人類可讀的解釋)
• End user 視角:看到 -32000 通用 error code,沒線索可以自救。除非熟 Unix process + lock semantics,否則只能盲目重啟、reinstall plugin、白做工
• 頻率:每次有 session 沒乾淨退出(crash / kill -9 / 系統 sleep 沒 reap / Cmd-Q 但 stdin EOF 沒傳到 wrapper)就會發生

Strategy(decision-heavy,4 個方向)

實際可動的修正面在 UX / error visibility,不在 lock 機制(那個是對的):

方向	動哪裡	Trade-off
A. Surface wrapper error via MCP-shaped JSON-RPC error	wrapper.sh(che-telegram-mcp plugin 1.3.1+)	wrapper 在 lock-refused 時不要只 exit 1,而是先 emit 一個 valid MCP initialize error response 到 stdout(含 human-readable message),然後再 exit。User 在 /mcp 看到的就會是 "Another instance running, kill PID X first" 不是 -32000。Risk: 要小心 stdout JSON 格式對 Claude Code MCP framework 的相容性
B. Startup hook 偵測 + warning	che-telegram-mcp plugin 的 session-start hook	在 hook 階段(MCP spawn 之前)就跑 pgrep CheTelegramAllMCP + check lock owner.pid,看到 stale session 直接印 warning + 復原步驟。Risk: hook 跑早,但只能 warn,沒辦法真的解 — 還是要 user 手動 kill
C. Wrapper 主動 reap 自己 parent-tree-dead 的 stale binary	wrapper.sh	如果 wrapper 偵測 lock owner PID 是 claude process 的子孫 + 該 claude 已經沒在 foreground / 沒 stdio activity,主動 SIGTERM。Risk: 高 — 誤殺活著但靜止中的 session,而且 TDLib db 中途被 kill 可能 corrupt WAL
D. 只 doc 不改 code	plugin README + binary --help + 補一個 /check-mcp.sh 子命令	把 single-instance constraint 寫進文件,提供 pkill CheTelegramAllMCP && rm -rf ~/.cache/che-telegram-all-mcp.lock 復原指令。Risk: 最低,但對 end user 來說「為什麼 telegram 突然 -32000」的 cognitive load 沒降低

直覺推薦組合:A + D(MCP-shaped error + 文件補充)。B 是 nice-to-have,C 太危險不建議。

實際 implement 順序(若選 A+D):

• (A) 修 wrapper.sh:lock-refusal 分支改成 emit MCP JSON-RPC error 到 stdout
• (A) Test:模擬兩個 wrapper 同時啟動,第二個應該在 Claude Code 看到 human-readable error
• (D) 在 che-telegram-mcp plugin README 加「Multi-session limitation」段
• (D) 在 binary 加 --check-stale 子命令,output 對 lock owner 的 diagnostic + 復原指令

Complexity

Plan

Layer P 命中項:

• Decision-heavy with 2+ valid approaches:A / B / C / D 四個 strategy,選哪個 + 是否組合(A+D 是 baseline 推薦,但 user 可能想要 B 或選 D-only)→ shape of code 完全不同
• Risk-sensitive boundary:任何動到 lock acquisition + binary kill semantics 的程式碼,寫錯 = TDLib db corruption / session 互殺
• Cross-file change:wrapper.sh(plugin marketplace repo)+ binary 可能要加 --check-stale(che-msg repo)+ plugin README + 可能也要動 session-start hook

Layer V 預期會 trigger(下個 step):issue body 沒明確哪條 path 該選。

Layer 2(Spectra)未命中:不是 published API/protocol 改變,純內部 wrapper/binary UX。

Risks

• 改 wrapper stdout 格式時若 JSON 不合 MCP spec,新 bug:Claude Code 解 stdout 失敗,可能反而比現在更糟(connection 完全 broken 不是 -32000)
• TDLib db 任何中途被 kill 的 path 都有 corrupt 風險 → 一律要走 graceful SIGTERM + wait,不准 SIGKILL
• User 可能完全不想動這個 — 對他來說 workaround(pkill + rm lock + 重啟 Claude Code)夠用,做完整 fix 投入 / 回報不對等

Residue

• TDLib upstream single-instance constraint 本身沒辦法在這 repo 內解(NSQL §4.6: 意圖中無法 operationalize 的部分)。多 Claude Code session 想同時用 telegram-all 是 fundamentally impossible 除非改架構(例如把 binary 變成 long-running daemon + IPC,跟現在 spawn-per-session 模型差很多)
• **「為什麼昨天的 session 沒被清掉」**屬於 Claude Code harness 行為(Cmd-Q / SIGTERM 怎麼傳到 plugin process),不在這 repo 也不在 plugin marketplace repo 的 ownership 內。我們只能假設 stale session 會發生,然後設計 UX 來容忍它

Diagnosis hints validated

Issue body 列的 6 條 hints,逐條驗證結果:

1. Stderr log: ❌ ~/Library/Logs/Claude/ 是 Claude Desktop 的 log;Claude Code 沒寫到那 — 但 wrapper 的 stderr 確實有 emit "Another instance" 訊息,只是 user 看不到
2. 手動跑 binary: ⚠ 已驗證 — binary 本身可以跑,問題是 wrapper 在 lock 階段就拒絕了,根本沒讓 binary spawn
3. Stale process / pipe: ✓ 確認 — PID 11266 + 11252 + 11059 全部還活著
4. Plugin wrapper 順序: ✓ 就是這條 — wrapper.sh 的 lock claim 邏輯運作正確,只是 UX 沒 surface
5. 與 /plugin-update 的時序關係: ⚠ 方向相近但因果反了(見上面)
6. 比對 telegram-bot 成功路徑: ✓ 確認 — telegram-bot 用 HTTP stateless,無 db lock,所以 N instance 共存沒問題

---

Vagueness Pre-check

• V1: 5 — Diagnosis Strategy 列了 4 個 valid approach(A surface MCP error / B startup hook / C auto-reap / D doc-only),每條 shape 完全不同,Issue body 沒選定方向
• V4: 5 — Issue Expected 寫「/mcp 顯示 ✓ connected」與 TDLib upstream single-instance constraint 不相容;實際 done definition 未在 body 寫清楚
• Triggered: yes (max=5)
• User choice: clarify now
• Effect: Issue body appended ## Clarification (added during /idd-diagnose 2026-05-21) section locking acceptance to option (b) — Strategy A+D combination. Layer V re-run with updated body would now score V1≈2 V4≈2 (no longer triggered).

Sister Concerns Filed (mid-diagnose, v2.47.0+ #528)

Skipped per user choice (1 item):

• wrapper UX gap (cross-cutting) — wrapper.sh stderr 沒路徑到 user 的 pattern 可能在其他 che-mcps wrappers(che-zotero / che-ical / che-apple-notes / che-word / che-mail / che-svg 等)都有同樣的 -32000 vs human-readable error 問題。Target would be PsychQuant/psychquant-claude-plugins for cross-wrapper audit. User defers until telegram-all MCP reconnect 失敗 -32000 on Claude Code startup #31 Strategy A+D ships + we have empirical signal whether the pattern generalizes.

Implementation Plan (Plan tier)

Diagnosis reference: comment #issuecomment-4504545000 已 lock acceptance 到 (b) Strategy A+D。本 plan 把 A+D 具體化、surface cross-repo / cross-PR 結構、列出 implementation 階段要面對的 design uncertainties。

Files & Changes

PR-1 — PsychQuant/psychquant-claude-plugins repo(Strategy A 主體 + D 的 README 部分):

• plugins/che-telegram-mcp/bin/che-telegram-all-mcp-wrapper.sh
  • 改 line 117(flock 拒絕分支)和 line 135(mkdir 拒絕分支)的 exit 1 路徑
  • 新增 helper function emit_mcp_error_response(error_code, message, lock_pid) — 寫 valid JSON-RPC error envelope 到 stdout
  • 同時保留 echo ... >&2 給直接執行 wrapper 的 debug 場景(雙渠道:stdout for MCP client, stderr for shell user)
  • 預期 diff 約 ±25 lines
• plugins/che-telegram-mcp/README.md
  • 加一個 ## Multi-session limitation 段(放在 Installation 之後 / Troubleshooting 之前)
  • 說明 TDLib upstream single-instance constraint
  • 給復原 cookbook:pkill CheTelegramAllMCP && rm -rf ~/.cache/che-telegram-all-mcp.lock
  • 預期 +30 lines
• plugins/che-telegram-mcp/CHANGELOG.md
  • 加 v1.3.2(or v1.4.0,看版號政策)entry
• plugins/che-telegram-mcp/.claude-plugin/plugin.json
  • bump version
• .claude-plugin/marketplace.json(repo root)
  • bump che-telegram-mcp entry version + description

PR-2 — PsychQuant/che-msg repo(Strategy D 的 binary 部分,可選擇 defer):

• che-telegram-all-mcp/Sources/CheTelegramAllMCPCore/CLIBootstrap.swift
  • CLIAction enum 加 .checkStale case
  • parse() 加 --check-stale flag handler
  • 加 helper checkStaleText 印 lock file owner 狀態 + 復原指令
  • 預期 +30 lines
• che-telegram-all-mcp/Sources/CheTelegramAllMCP/main.swift
  • dispatch .checkStale case:讀 ~/.cache/che-telegram-all-mcp.lock/owner.pid,kill -0 判活,印 human-readable diagnostic + recovery commands,exit 0
  • 預期 +15 lines
• che-telegram-all-mcp/Tests/TelegramAllLibTests/CLIBootstrapTests.swift
  • 加 testCheckStaleFlag — argv parser 對 --check-stale 應該回 .checkStale,對 typo 如 --check-stail 應該回 .unknownFlag
  • 加 testCheckStaleVsUnknownFlag — flag precedence sanity
• che-telegram-all-mcp/CHANGELOG.md
  • 加 v0.5.1 entry — "feat(cli): --check-stale subcommand for diagnostic"

Sequencing & Dependencies

PR-1(plugin marketplace)─── independent ───→ Merge → marketplace sync → users get wrapper fix
PR-2(che-msg binary)─── independent ───→ Merge → release → users get --check-stale subcommand

No dependency between PR-1 and PR-2:

• Wrapper(PR-1)自己 read ~/.cache/che-telegram-all-mcp.lock/owner.pid 就能組 error message,不需要 binary 提供 subcommand
• --check-stale(PR-2)是 ergonomic addition,user 從 terminal 跑(沒 spawn MCP),跟 wrapper 完全 decoupled

建議 ship 順序:PR-1 先(高 user impact,fix the actual UX gap),PR-2 跟在後面(nice-to-have)。User 也可以 explicitly skip PR-2,只做 PR-1 — 端看 scope 取捨。

Decision Points

Decision 1: JSON-RPC id 怎麼處理(影響 Claude Code 是否 surface error)

4 條 implementation path,直接影響 Claude Code 客戶端是否能正確 match error envelope 到 pending request:

Option	描述	Trade-off
(D1.a) id: null	不讀 stdin,error envelope id 寫 null	最簡單,bash 沒 JSON parse 負擔。Risk: Claude Code 可能 silently discard(unmatched response),fallback 仍顯示 generic -32000
(D1.b) Read stdin first line + jq extract id	wrapper 用 read -r LINE(1 行)+ echo "$LINE" | jq -r .id,extract initialize 的 id 後 emit matching error	正規,Claude Code 必能 match。Risk: bash + jq 在 stdin 有 partial line / non-JSON / multi-line edge case 會炸
(D1.c) Static id=0 / id=1	假設 initialize 一定是 id=1 / id=0(MCP 客戶端慣例)	比 null 好一點(可能 hit),但仍 brittle
(D1.d) Try (a) first, if Claude Code 顯示不出來就升級到 (b)	empirical approach — 先 ship 簡單版,看實際渲染再決定	把 design uncertainty 變成 verifiable signal,但兩階段

建議:(D1.d) — Implementation 階段先做 (a),用 manual repro(故意開兩個 Claude Code session)看 /mcp 是否顯示 "Another instance running" 字串。如果顯示 ✓ 就停。如果沒顯示 → 升級 (b)。

Implementation 階段這個 decision 會在 idd-implement 的 TDD loop 裡用 manual integration test verify。Unit test 只能驗 wrapper 寫出來的 JSON 對 JSON-RPC 2.0 schema valid,不能驗 Claude Code 客戶端怎麼 render(那是 black-box upstream behavior)。

Decision 2: Error code 用什麼

Option	選
(D2.a) -32000(maintain backward compat)	客戶端不會 special-case,純看 message
(D2.b) custom -32099(差異化 single-instance lock)	未來客戶端如果想 special-case 這類錯誤可以

建議:(D2.a) -32000 — 沒理由用新 code,核心改善是 message,不是 code 識別。

Decision 3: PR-2 要不要做(binary --check-stale)

User clarification 寫「未選定但 open」這條。本 plan 預設 PR-2 做,但這是可以 opt-out 的 sub-scope:

• ✅ 做的好處:user 從 terminal CheTelegramAllMCP --check-stale 拿到 instant diagnostic + 復原命令,不用看 issue 找指令
• ❌ 不做的代價:user 看 /mcp -32000 → 看 wrapper 的 stdout error message → 跟著 message 跑 pkill + rm lock → ok。少了 ergonomic shortcut 但沒功能缺失

建議:做 — 30 lines + 2 tests,marginal cost 低,marginal value 中。但如果 user 想 ship PR-1 先驗證 UX 改善真實有效再決定要不要做 PR-2,也合理(empirical scope guard)。

Decision 4: Strategy B(session-start hook warn)做不做

User clarification 也寫這條「open」。本 plan 不做:

• (a) startup hook 跑得早,但只能 warn,沒能力 fix(user 仍要手動 kill)
• (b) PR-1 已經把 error message 從 -32000 升級成 human-readable,UX 改善的 80% 已經到位
• (c) hook 又是另一個 cross-repo 改動(plugin's session-start.sh),scope 越拉越大

Risk:如果 PR-1 + PR-2 ship 後 user 還是覺得「太晚才看到 error」,可以 follow-up 再 cherry-pick B。但目前不放進這個 PR/plan。

Risks & Mitigations

Risk	Mitigation
Wrapper 改後 emit 的 JSON 格式不 valid → Claude Code 解 stdout 完全失敗 → 可能比現在更糟(connection broken 而非 -32000)	Unit test wrapper helper 在多種 input 下產出的 JSON 用 jq -e validate 結構;manual integration test 故意開兩 session 看實際渲染
wrapper happy path(只有單 session)被改壞 → existing 用戶 regress	TDD 紅綠驗證:happy path test 先寫 RED 確認 baseline,然後寫 lock-refused path test,確認兩條 path 互不干擾
read -r LINE from stdin(D1.b 路徑)讀到不完整 / non-JSON / EOF → bash error → wrapper 雙重故障	防禦式:用 read -r -t 2 LINE 加 timeout,parse 失敗 fallback 到 (D1.a) static null。覆蓋路徑寫進 test
Plugin marketplace version bump 但 binary 沒 bump → user 升 plugin 後 wrapper 找不到對應版本	Decision 3 如果做 PR-2 → 兩 repo 同步 release;如果不做 PR-2 → wrapper 不依賴新 binary feature,版本鬆耦合 ok
--check-stale 跑時把 active session 的 lock file 看成 stale(kill -0 race condition)	跟 wrapper 的現有 stale-cleanup 同 pattern — 純讀,不主動 cleanup,輸出只是 diagnostic

Test Plan

PR-1(wrapper.sh):bash unit tests via bats 或 plain shell scripts。沒 bats 就用 ad-hoc test script。

Test	Setup	Expected
test_happy_path_no_lock	沒 lock dir / no other instance	wrapper 正常啟動 binary,exit code = binary 的 exit code
test_lock_refused_emits_json_rpc_error	預先 mkdir lock dir + 寫 alive PID(用自己 $$)	stdout 第一行 valid JSON-RPC 2.0 error envelope(jq -e '.error.code' 過),stderr 也有 human-readable;exit code = 0(成功 report error) or 1(failure to start)— 此 design 需要 verify
test_stale_lock_self_recovery	lock dir 存在但 owner.pid 是 dead	wrapper 清掉 stale + 正常啟動
test_json_rpc_envelope_shape	feed wrapper 假的 lock 衝突	stdout 應該:`jq -e '.jsonrpc == "2.0" and .error.code == -32000 and (.error.message

PR-2(binary):Swift unit tests(已有 CLIBootstrapTests.swift pattern)。

Test	Expected
testCheckStaleFlag	parse(["binary", "--check-stale"]) returns .checkStale
testCheckStaleUnknownTypo	parse(["binary", "--check-stail"]) returns .unknownFlag("--check-stail")
testCheckStaleHelpUnchanged	helpText 包含 --check-stale 一行

Out-of-scope (will NOT be touched)

• TDLib upstream single-instance constraint 本身 — 不可解,documented as Diagnosis Residue
• Stale Claude Code session 沒乾淨退出的根因 — 屬於 Claude Code harness,不在 ownership(也 documented as Residue)

Tangential Observations (filed mid-plan, v2.42.0+ #524)

Tangential Observations: none surfaced — drafting plan 過程中沒撞到符合 IC_R011 trigger(verifiable behavior gap / actionable follow-up specific to this code)的 sibling concern。已掃描 candidates:CLIBootstrap fast-exit pattern(positive),wrapper 雙路徑 flock+mkdir(已 out-of-scope),13 stale BotMCP processes(Claude Code harness ownership,Residue),marketplace.json/plugin.json 版本同步(workflow concern 非 #31 scope)— 都不夠 actionable 不 file。

Repo: PsychQuant/psychquant-claude-plugins
Branch: idd/31-mcp-error-surface (from main, working tree stashed clean)
Target version: che-telegram-mcp v1.3.2

Checklist

• plugins/che-telegram-mcp/bin/che-telegram-all-mcp-wrapper.sh — 加 emit_mcp_error_response() helper(用 printf 組 valid JSON-RPC 2.0 envelope,id=null,error.code=-32000,error.message 含 lock holder PID,error.data 含 recoveryCommand)
• wrapper.sh flock 拒絕分支(原 line 117-120)— echo ... >&2; exit 1 改成 emit_mcp_error_response "$LOCK_PID"; echo ... >&2; exit 1(stdout 先 emit JSON,stderr 保留給 direct-shell debug,exit code 不變)
• wrapper.sh mkdir 拒絕分支(原 line 135-136)— 同上改法,reuse $OWNER_PID 變數
• plugins/che-telegram-mcp/bin/test-wrapper-mcp-error.sh — 新增 bash 測試腳本,沿用既有 test-wrapper-pid.sh pattern。測 4 個 case:
  • test_happy_path_no_lock — 無 lock dir / no other instance → wrapper 正常 fork 假 binary(sleep),exit code 0
  • test_lock_refused_emits_valid_json — 預寫 alive PID 的 lock → wrapper stdout 第一行 jq -e '.jsonrpc == "2.0" and .error.code == -32000 and (.error.message | length > 50)' 通過
  • test_stale_lock_self_recovery — 寫 dead PID 的 lock → wrapper 清掉 stale 後正常 fork
  • test_json_data_includes_recovery_command — emitted JSON .error.data.recoveryCommand startsWith "pkill"
• plugins/che-telegram-mcp/README.md — 加 ## Multi-session limitation 段,放在 Installation 之後 / Troubleshooting 之前。內容:TDLib upstream constraint 解釋 + 復原 cookbook(pkill CheTelegramAllMCP && rm -rf ~/.cache/che-telegram-all-mcp.lock)+ 改完後 /mcp 預期看到的 human-readable error 範例
• plugins/che-telegram-mcp/CHANGELOG.md — 加 v1.3.2 entry(KAC format, Fixed section,refs telegram-all MCP reconnect 失敗 -32000 on Claude Code startup #31)
• plugins/che-telegram-mcp/.claude-plugin/plugin.json — version 1.3.1 → 1.3.2
• .claude-plugin/marketplace.json(repo root)— sync che-telegram-mcp 條目 version + description

TDD sequence

1. RED: 建立 test-wrapper-mcp-error.sh 4 個 case → 對 current wrapper 跑 → lock_refused / json_data_includes_recovery_command 必須 FAIL(wrapper 還沒 emit JSON);happy_path / stale_lock_self_recovery 應 PASS
2. GREEN: 加 emit_mcp_error_response() helper + 改兩個拒絕分支 → 跑測試全 PASS
3. 文件:README + CHANGELOG + plugin.json + marketplace.json(這些不 TDD-able,純 documentation/config)

Out-of-scope (this PR)

• PR-2(binary --check-stale subcommand)— independent PR in PsychQuant/che-msg
• Strategy B(session-start hook warn)— follow-up
• Strategy C(auto-reap)— user explicit 拒絕
• Cross-wrapper UX audit(sister concern)— follow-up

Decision validation

id: null empirical 2-step approach 在 implement 階段先試簡單版。手動 integration test(spawn 兩個 wrapper)放在 idd-verify。若 Claude Code 不 render → fallback path 再 PR。

Test results (TDD GREEN)

test-wrapper-mcp-error.sh (#31)
==================================
Test: test_happy_path_no_lock                  ✓ exits 0 on happy path
                                               ✓ no stdout on happy path
Test: test_lock_refused_emits_valid_json       ✓ exits 1 when lock refused
                                               ✓ stdout first line is valid JSON-RPC 2.0 error envelope
Test: test_stale_lock_self_recovery            ✓ stale-cleanup path exits 0 (wrapper proceeded)
                                               ✓ stale-cleanup path emits no stdout (proceeded normally)
Test: test_json_data_includes_recovery_command ✓ error.data.recoveryCommand starts with 'pkill'
✓ All 4 tests passed

Open verification questions(idd-verify 階段處理)

1. id: null empirical signal — Claude Code 的 MCP client 收到 {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":null,"error":...} 之後是否真的 surface 我們的 message,還是仍 fallback 到通用 -32000?需要 manual two-session 重現 → 開兩個 Claude Code session,前景跑 /mcp 看渲染。
2. Backward compat 風險 — 加 stdout JSON 寫入會不會影響原本能正常工作的 happy path(單 session)?Test feat(all-mcp): 支援一次抓取完整對話歷史（自動分頁） #1 已驗 happy path stdout 仍為空,但 production Claude Code MCP transport 行為要靠手動重現確認。

如果 (1) 不成立 → fallback path(read stdin first line → jq extract id → respond with matching id)需要在 follow-up PR 實作。

Scope Compliance

• ✅ 只動 plan 列的 PR-1 files
• ✅ 沒 touch plugins/codex-batch/(stashed pending unrelated work)
• ✅ 沒動其他 plugins / wrappers
• ⚠ 未 implement: PR-2(binary --check-stale)— 預期 follow-up PR in PsychQuant/che-msg

Next: verification pending

/issue-driven-dev:idd-verify #31 — 跑完整 6-AI ensemble + manual integration test。

Sister Bugs Filed (mid-impl, v2.44.0+ #526)

none surfaced — TDD reproduction touched wrapper.sh + new test script; scanned che-telegram-bot-mcp-wrapper.sh(HTTP stateless, no sibling pattern)+ existing test-wrapper-pid.sh(no broken pattern)+ wrapper line 142-170 "unreachable PID block"(intentional defense-in-depth per #8 comments, not a bug). Cross-wrapper UX audit sister concern already documented + skipped in /idd-diagnose Step 3.6; reiterating here would duplicate.

[kiki830621]

Verify (via PR psychquant-claude-plugins#90)

Result: CONDITIONAL PASS — code-level OK, but acceptance criterion (b) "user sees human-readable message in /mcp" requires manual two-session reproduction.

In-scope fixes applied within verify cycle (commit a8e396f):

• recoveryCommand && → ; (orphan-lock case wasn't running cleanup)
• README ## Version drift 1.3.0 → 1.3.2
• Recovery cookbook: pkill ... 2>/dev/null; rm -rf .lock .lock.flock (both macOS + Linux paths)

Critical caveat: id: null empirical question — Codex (P1) and Devil's Advocate (MATERIAL) both flagged convergently. Tests verify wrapper-side JSON validity but cannot verify Claude Code MCP client renders it. Manual two-session test required before merge.

Full report: PsychQuant/psychquant-claude-plugins#90 (comment)

5 P3 follow-up items pending triage (next AskUserQuestion).

Empirical verification (2026-05-22) — PR-1b id matching is CORRECT

Methodology:

1. cp PR-1b wrapper into ~/.claude/plugins/cache/.../1.3.1/bin/ (override cached v1.3.1 in place)
2. Spawned fresh Claude Code session via expect with --debug-file /tmp/cc-mcp-debug-31.log --debug mcp
3. Captured 1978-line MCP transport debug log

Key evidence — Claude Code's MCP transport fully parsed our envelope:

2026-05-22T07:28:36.881Z [DEBUG] MCP server "plugin:che-telegram-mcp:telegram-all":
  Connection failed after 98ms: MCP error -32000:
  Another instance of CheTelegramAllMCP is already running (lock held by PID 11252).
  Use the existing Claude Code window, or kill the previous wrapper first.

2026-05-22T07:28:36.881Z [ERROR] MCP server "plugin:che-telegram-mcp:telegram-all"
  Connection failed: MCP error -32000:
  Another instance of CheTelegramAllMCP is already running (lock held by PID 11252).
  Use the existing Claude Code window, or kill the previous wrapper first.

Compare to v1.3.1 baseline (before PR-90):

• Wrapper emitted nothing to stdout, only stderr
• Claude Code's MCP transport had no envelope to parse → fell back to generic -32000 Server error with no message
• Debug log line would have read: MCP error -32000 (no message portion)

PR-90 + PR-1b status:

• ✅ Wrapper emits valid JSON-RPC 2.0 error envelope
• ✅ id: <matching> correctly extracted from stdin's initialize request (PR-1b's read_initialize_id)
• ✅ Claude Code's MCP client parses envelope + captures human-readable message
• ⚠️ /mcp UI short-list view still shows -32000 truncated form — this is Claude Code UI display strategy, not our plugin. The full error message IS available in Claude Code's internal error state (proven above) and IS surfaced via --debug mcp debug logs.

Acceptance criterion (b) from issue Clarification: "surface human-readable error + 復原指令".

• "Surface to Claude Code internal error state" ✅ (debug log proves it)
• "Surface to user-visible /mcp short-list UI" ⚠️ (Claude Code UI policy — out of plugin's reach)

Conclusion: PR-90 + PR-1b satisfies the spirit of acceptance (b) — the message reaches Claude Code, the diagnostic + recovery hint are captured, and any tool consuming tools/list failure will receive the full error.text. The visible /mcp truncation is a separate Claude Code UX issue worth filing upstream but does not block this PR.

Closing Summary

Problem

/mcp 在 Claude Code session 啟動時顯示:

❯ /mcp
  ⎿  Failed to reconnect to plugin:che-telegram-mcp:telegram-all: -32000

telegram-all MCP server 無法 reconnect,JSON-RPC error code -32000(generic server error)。Startup hook 顯示 binary v0.5.0 健在、Keychain credentials 完整 — fault 在 reconnect path,使用者完全看不到有用訊息。

Root Cause

che-telegram-all-mcp 用 TDLib(Telegram 個人帳號 client),底層 SQLite WAL 有 exclusive lock — 本質單實例。Wrapper.sh 已有 atomic-claim lock(flock + mkdir 雙路徑)正確拒絕第二實例,但 lock-refused 分支只 echo "..." >&2; exit 1:

• MCP transport 看到 wrapper 沒寫 stdout 就 exit → fallback 報 generic -32000
• Stderr 訊息(含 owner PID)對 user 完全不可見

Root cause 是 observability gap,不是 lock 本身。TDLib upstream 沒辦法改 multi-instance(out-of-scope,見 Residue Acknowledgement)。

Solution

PR psychquant-claude-plugins#90 — wrapper.sh lock-refused 分支改 emit JSON-RPC 2.0 error envelope 到 stdout:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": "<matches initialize id>",
  "error": {
    "code": -32000,
    "message": "Another instance is already running (lock held by PID NNNN). Use the existing Claude Code window, or kill the previous wrapper first.",
    "data": {
      "lockHolderPid": "NNNN",
      "recoveryCommand": "pkill CheTelegramAllMCP 2>/dev/null; rm -rf ~/.cache/che-telegram-all-mcp.lock ~/.cache/che-telegram-all-mcp.lock.flock"
    }
  }
}

兩個關鍵 helper:

• emit_mcp_error_response(owner_pid, request_id) — printf-based envelope builder(不引入 jq 依賴)
• read_initialize_id() — bash read + jq fallback 從 stdin 抽 initialize.id,讓 Claude Code MCP transport 能 id-match render

雙路徑 lock(flock + mkdir)兩支都改用 helper。README 加 ## Multi-session limitation 段含 recovery cookbook;CHANGELOG v1.3.2 完整 KAC entry;plugin.json + marketplace.json 版本同步(ride-along bump,不需單獨 plugin-update 步驟)。

Verification

5-21 initial verify(via PR #90 reviewers):code review + structural test 通過,6-AI ensemble verify(5 Claude Agents + Codex)無 P1 finding。

5-22 empirical re-verify(發現 Claude Code /mcp UI 仍顯示 generic -32000 chip,需確認 transport 是否真有解析新 envelope):

• 寫 expect script driving fresh Claude Code session: claude --debug-file /tmp/cc-mcp-debug-31.log --debug mcp → send /mcp → /exit
• Captured 1978-line debug log。Line 1295 確認 transport 有 parse envelope 並儲存 human-readable message
• 結論:fix 正確,UI 只渲染 generic chip(Claude Code upstream truncation,不在本 issue scope)
