glm-5.3-flash e2c255d40c docs(tasks): decompose review-002 into 24 tasks (23 implementation + 1 bracketed follow-up)
Decomposition of docs/reviews/002-post-remediation-review.md per its
5-unit remediation plan:

- Unit 1 (security-critical): gw15-publish-body-cap,
  prj16-schema-via-call (CF-004 filed alkcall-side), fwd13-dot-segments,
  fwd16-missing-capability, oai11-ref-memoization
- Unit 2 (timeout/terminality): ws13-idle-progress,
  fwd15-stream-timeout, cli01-retry-after-budget, con17-mcp-pagination,
  con18-wss-sweep-exit
- Unit 3 (projection/docs): projection-truthfulness, mcp-batch-cap,
  gw16-status-drift
- Unit 4 (spec-import): yaml-normalization, oai13-path-item-wildcards,
  import-loudness-cluster, js01-placeholder-check,
  fwd17-19-contract-decisions
- Unit 5 (WS polish + tests): con18b-ws-polish,
  client-policy-wire-tests, cov-deployment-knobs, cov13-dead-code,
  srv11-srv12-router-ordering
- review-002-bracketed-followup: tentatively planned post-bulk pass
  (stale-check, OQA-18 enforcement decision, CON-08/09 close() lever,
  cross-crate re-checks) — deliberately not serialized against the
  bulk

Also: review-002 numbering repair (CON-14 was double-booked; MCP
pagination now CON-14, from_wss monitor renumbered CON-18, missing
CON-14 section added).

taskgraph: 66 valid, no cycles; 24 pending (all review-002);
gen-1/gen-2 parallel waves identified; workflow-cost hotspots are
prj16 (12.8) and ws13 (11.1), both carrying the reviewed slicing
guidance in their Notes.

Description

Review 002 CON-14 [major]. from_mcp/mod.rs:114-119 delegates to rmcp 1.8.0's Peer::list_all_tools, which loops while cursor.is_some() with no page cap and no timeout (verified against rmcp source service/client.rs:390-407). A malicious or buggy server that always returns next_cursor: Some(...) (cycling or ignoring the cursor) hangs import() indefinitely while appending every page's tools → unbounded memory growth alongside the hang. Tools from completed pages are not lost (extend per page), but nothing in alkhttp bounds the loop. The paging test that exists (from_mcp_integration.rs) terminates after 3 pages — the cycling shape is untested.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Replace list_all_tools with a bounded loop over list_tools: hard page-count cap + overall deadline (constants or config; pick generous defaults — e.g. 100 pages / 60 s — and note them in the module doc)
  • Budget trips → AdapterError::DiscoveryFailed-family error naming the budget (pages seen, tools accumulated), no partial import left behind (the existing import-fails-closed behavior holds)
  • Integration test: a paging server that cycles its cursor (always next_cursor: Some("a")) → import terminates with the clean error, bounded time (no hang)
  • Existing 3-page pagination test unchanged and passing (well-formed pagination still imports all pages)
  • cargo test --features mcp, cargo clippy --all-features --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo fmt --check pass

References

  • docs/reviews/002-post-remediation-review.md (Part F', CON-14)
  • src/adapters/from_mcp/mod.rs:114-119 (the delegation), rmcp 1.8.0 src/service/client.rs:390-407 (the unbounded loop)
  • tests/from_mcp_integration.rs:302-317 (the existing paging server)
  • tasks/adapters/review-001-consumer-adapter-hygiene.md (CON-01's pagination work this bounds)

Notes

Small, self-contained, feature-gated (mcp). Consider (optional) a max_tools sanity cap as well — same budget family, one more guard against a hostile server — but do not let scope creep: the page cap + deadline closes the hang, which is the finding.
