Repair exact tooling recovery and adaptive deadlines

[witbrock]

Outcome

Repairs the general model-led path behind JVNAUTOSCI-2623 without adding Gmail-, student-, email-address-, or arXiv-specific routing.

• fetch_concept now performs bounded exact ID, registered virtual-concept, and exact CODE-alias lookup; misses return typed concept_not_found instead of falling into broad lexical resolution.
• A denied canonical relationship write exposes a scoped-assertion recovery only when the exact represented predicate establishes the object kind. A successful matching recovery reconciles turn finality; subject, predicate, value, and object-kind mismatches do not.
• Frequently used Gmail and scoped-assertion operations use adaptive advisory timing with no arbitrary outer hard deadline.
• The two observed slow file operations seed adaptive windows from their longest known successful duration: warning at 1.25x, hard boundary at 2x. Longer valid successes grow both; failed, invalid, zero, or non-finite durations do not train them.
• Dynamic tool proxies preserve timing policy.
• Removes the stale RAG identity-service import and query arguments left behind when the legacy fixed Mongo query deadline was removed.

Evidence

• 140 internal MCP transport, catalogue, fetch, dynamic registration, external identity, predicate, and scoped-authority tests passed.
• 28 neighbouring adaptive-turn authority/recovery tests passed.
• Additional independent focused reviews passed 67 timing tests, 39 canonical relationship tests, and 19 recovery/finality tests.
• Python compilation, Ruff fatal checks, and git diff --check passed.
• Fresh authenticated Terra replay completed in 6m23s through the direct model-led path. It used Gmail list/get only, selected exact concept #V#timothy_pistotti, reused the existing #V#has_email assertion, and created no duplicate or mailbox mutation.

Boundaries

• Adaptive runtime maxima are process-local; evidence-backed cold-start seeds survive restart for the two retained hard-boundary capabilities.
• The current RAG corpus still reports not_indexed with pending work; this change fixes its deterministic stale-import failure, not index population.
• Existing Thinking/situation and top-level telemetry gaps observed in the replay are not changed here.
• One broader adaptive-turn test remains environment-sensitive because its test handler has a fixed one-second release wait while Mongo failover can delay the turn; no production change was made to hide that pre-existing race.

Pull request overview

Repairs the model-led Internal MCP tooling path by making concept fetches strictly bounded (exact ID / virtual concept / alias only), improving scoped-assertion recovery behaviour for denied canonical relationship writes, and replacing fixed timeouts with adaptive advisory/hard windows seeded by observed successful durations.

Changes:

• Tightens fetch_concept to avoid fuzzy/name resolution on misses, returning a typed concept_not_found response instead.
• Adds adaptive deadline history to Internal MCP gateway execution, including seeding long-running tool windows and preserving timing policy through dynamic tool proxies.
• Refines scoped-assertion recovery eligibility for denied relationship writes by using canonical predicate typing (text vs concept) and reconciling successful recoveries more robustly.
