Investigate MCP identity cycling for SlanchaAI/wire#361 - #386
Fleet row cx02883e0efb. Investigates #361: startup identity resolution, stale MCP processes after upgrade or resume, cycling options, and tests to add. Documentation only. Proof: test -s docs/investigations/issue-361-mcp-identity-cycle.md && grep -qiE 'identity' docs/investigations/issue-361-mcp-identity-cycle.md (passed).
Summary by CodeRabbit
Documentation
Added an investigation guide explaining how MCP sessions, process lifetimes, and identity context can lead to stale or split identity diagnostics.
Documented operator options for reconnecting with the intended context, restarting a host with stale launch context, or deliberately starting a new identity.
This review ran on the open-source allowance, not this organization's plan, because the pull request author doesn't have an assigned seat. Waiting won't change this — ask an organization admin to assign them a seat, or add seats in Billing if every seat is already assigned, then retry.
The pull request adds an investigation document about MCP home adoption, identity resolution, and process lifetimes. It records operator options and proposed tests. It states that no runtime reproduction or identity mutation was performed.

Summary
Document identity resolution and lifecycle docs/investigations/issue-361-mcp-identity-cycle.md
The document traces MCP home and identity resolution, distinguishes retained MCP processes from fresh CLI and statusline processes, and describes daemon boundaries and diagnostic limits. It records operator workflows, unimplemented rebind and re-exec considerations, proposed tests that were not run, and a documentation-artifact check.
Correct the Claude session PID-file citation so the documented identity-resolution path remains independently auditable.

Explanation
The title "Investigate MCP identity cycling for #361" states the main change: an investigation document for issue #361 on MCP identity cycling. The raw summary confirms the change adds only an investigation document, and the PR objectives confirm it is documentation-only, covering startup identity resolution, stale MCP processes, and cycling options. The title is specific, concise, and accurate, and it contains no vague terms.

- Line 17: Update the session-key citation in the investigation document to
point to `claude_code_session_from_pidfile` or `src/session.rs:1103`, not the
Copilot/VS Code adapter loop at `src/session.rs:1094`. Remove or revise
unsupported claims attributed to `src/mcp.rs:1598`, `src/mcp.rs:1297`, and
`src/session.rs:1906`.

| Session key | `src/session.rs:1057`: `resolve_session_key` prioritizes `WIRE_SESSION_ID`, then Claude, Pi, and Codex adapters, followed by other host adapters and Claude ancestor PID-file lookup (`src/session.rs:1094`). `src/session.rs:1549` maps the raw key to a deterministic by-key home. |
| Explicit pin | `src/session.rs:1917`: an existing by-key home pin wins; presence of `WIRE_HOME_FORCE` also preserves a legacy pin. Otherwise a resolved session key supersedes a legacy home. Re-running adoption against the already adopted by-key home would short-circuit, not discover a new session. |
| Missing key | `src/session.rs:1993`: MCP retries the Claude PID-file race, then mints a random per-process key. `src/session.rs:2027` deliberately avoids placing this minted key in `WIRE_SESSION_ID`. The home still remains pinned for this process. MCP does not fall back to a shared cwd identity. |
| Identity reads | `src/mcp.rs:938` reads the agent card for `wire_whoami`; `src/config.rs:31`, `src/config.rs:608` resolve/read the card under `WIRE_HOME`. This is a pinned directory, not necessarily a permanently cached card. `src/mcp.rs:1598` bootstraps only if that home is uninitialized. |
Refresh the stale session-key citation for revision 42d4346.
src/session.rs:1094 belongs to the Copilot/VS Code adapter loop, not the Claude PID-file lookup. Cite the lookup at src/session.rs:1103 or use the stable claude_code_session_from_pidfile symbol.
The other cited examples identify related code; the claims about src/mcp.rs:1598, src/mcp.rs:1297, and src/session.rs:1906 are not supported.
