Four distinct issues across 2 inline and 3 suppressed comments. All were
verified against the CLI's own code and behavior before being accepted;
one was diagnosed correctly but explained wrongly, and is documented as
it actually behaves rather than as the comment stated.
1. MCP_STORAGE_DIR alone is not isolation. MCP_INSPECTOR_OAUTH_STATE_PATH
is checked first, so an inherited value silently wins and a smoke run
still reaches the real token file — the guide documented that
precedence and then ignored it one paragraph later. Both variables are
now exported, in precedence order, in §6 and in the §8 script, with a
--list-stored-auth check that prints the path actually resolved.
Verified: with a poisoned MCP_INSPECTOR_OAUTH_STATE_PATH in the
environment, the two-line export wins.
2. `--format json` can carry a third top-level key. `emitResult` sets
`schemaFindings` whenever --strict is passed to tools/list and there
is at least one finding, so "that is the whole contract" was wrong.
Replaced with a table of all three keys and a note to parse by key.
3. --strict findings under --format json. The actionable half is right —
a JSON pipeline should read `schemaFindings` from stdout. The stated
mechanism is not: `writeSchemaLintReport` runs unconditionally, so
--format json --strict emits the full human report on stderr AND the
structured copy on stdout. Documented both streams as measured, with
a jq gate over the per-tool grouping. The `?` operators in that filter
are load-bearing: the key is absent on a clean run, and without them
jq errors instead of passing. Both arms verified.
4. The ErrorEnvelope snippet returned 0. `cmd || { … }` makes the brace
group's status the list's, so a successful jq turned a failed run
green — the same failure class the guide warns about twice elsewhere,
which makes shipping it worse. Now captures, reports, and exits with
the status; verified propagating exit 4.
The §8 script was re-run end to end against a live HTTP test server with
the added export and still passes.
