A profile mismatch reached the caller as a bare AnalysisProtocolError,
which projects to `unreadable_output` with a generic message. The error
already named every missing tool, but none of that detail survived, so
the only way to identify the cause was to log the JSON-RPC traffic and
notice the exchange stopping after `tools/list`.
Throw a ProviderAdapterError instead, carrying the mode, the expected
profile and the missing tool names through the diagnostics channel that
already surfaces in `details`. Document which upstream versions each
profile accepts, since upstream `main` now serves neither.

* test(mcp): expect trace_feature to report references the provider truncated
A provider that reports a capped xrefs read makes the trace truncated with a residual unknown for that target. An explicit complete report and a provider that reports nothing leave the trace as before.
* fix(mcp): report references a provider truncated in trace_feature
Executions gain an optional flag for a capped xrefs read, set by the IDA adapter from the upstream cap. trace_feature marks the trace truncated with a residual unknown for that target only when the provider reports a truncation; a provider that reports nothing keeps its previous result. The trace_feature workflow profile is revised so earlier results are not replayed.
* refactor(ida): report reference truncation whenever the runner observed an xrefs cap
* test(mcp): cover session forwarding, per-target state, native reports and failures of the trace coverage
* test(mcp): format the session forwarding test
* test(ida): expect headless IDA to resolve containing procedures from lookups and segment facts
Cover positive and negative containment, segment boundaries including addresses above 2^53, failures of the lookup and of the segment survey, cancellation, input validation and the admitted program as the only document.
* test(ida): expect feature tracing and address context to work on headless IDA
Run trace_feature, including a capped reference read, and inspect_address_context with and without an explicit document through the IDA session client.
* test(mcp): expect trace_feature availability to follow the search operations it calls
* fix(mcp): derive trace_feature availability from the search operations it calls
* feat(ida): resolve containing procedures and report the admitted program as the document
The modern headless profile resolves an address through the function lookup and, when no function contains it, tells a mapped address from an unmapped one using the database-scoped minimal survey. A survey that is missing, truncated or inconsistent fails the read. list_documents reports the single admitted program. The attached profiles do not declare either operation.
* docs(ida): describe containing procedures, the admitted document and truncated feature traces
* test(ida): verify containing procedures, the admitted document and feature tracing on real IDA
* docs(testing): list the headless IDA workflows the real lane verifies
* test(ida): make each survey failure case isolate a single defect
* test(ida): pin large addresses, segment order, document identity, attached refusals and each trace_feature prerequisite
* test(mcp): expect a repeated reference source to be resolved once in trace_feature
* fix(mcp): resolve the containing procedure of a repeated reference source once
* test(ida): trace the fixture procedure and derive probe addresses from its facts in the real lane
* test(process): format processCaptureLifecycle.test.ts after the merge
* test(ida): declare the alignment each synthetic universal slice offset satisfies
* refactor(ida): move the real lane's feature trace assertions into a helper
* test(ida): expect the real lane's feature trace check to accept references to every matched address
* fix(ida): check each trace reference against its own matched address in the real lane
* test(ida): pin that the new operations reject a document other than the admitted program
* refactor(ida): move the real lane's mapped non-function probe into a helper
* test(ida): expect the real lane's mapped data probe to skip strings inside functions
* fix(ida): try the target's strings in order for the mapped non-function probe
* test(ida): declare the real lane helper types for the verifier tests
* test(ida): expect the real lane to reject a listed string that resolves as unmapped
* fix(ida): fail the real lane when a listed string resolves as unmapped
Reject native callee successes without an explicit truncation marker while preserving provider failure reasons. Verify positive procedure inventory/search and function-result parity in the real-provider lane; support independent string/xref oracles and label their absence as unverified.
Verified with Windows IDA Pro 9.3: eight normal production CLI/MCP checks passed, and six real-provider response-fault cases reproduced old false positives and validated the correction. Windows IDA Free was not used. No personal paths or license registration information are included.
Repair inconsistent complete-file Ghidra test probe sizes after the shared ELF-header validation change, deriving sizes from the fixture buffers. Reproduced the three failures before the correction; 115 related installation/doctor and ELF tests pass afterward. Runtime parsing and installation behavior are unchanged; no real-Ghidra verification is claimed.
207 focused IDA tests and static/documentation checks passed. Automated review completed on d1e0b1095 without findings. CI run 38327862093 passed all 36 jobs, including Windows, all six test shards, coverage/timing, and real Apple CLI/MCP workflows.
Follow-up to #1544.
Add an explicit attached native IDA MCP compatibility profile while preserving the legacy and headless workflows. Keep recorded input identity, complete source observations and the user's open GUI database. Batch unique callee lookups, conservatively prefilter literal strings, preserve Unicode matching and unavailable caller coverage, and require distinct-function switching in native verification.
Verified with Windows IDA Pro 9.3 and the native MCP plugin built from c9d15d98e8a143fc74f6e14037c48f63889b6d6c with a loopback listener. Production CLI/MCP and an unchanged Windows whoami.exe passed. Windows IDA Free was not used. No personal paths or license registration information are included.
Validation: 200 focused tests, static and documentation checks, architecture guards and discovery passed. Historical same-main warm task measurements improved from 675 to 317 ms; response token estimates fell from 16618 to 11509. Fresh-start, overall CPU and memory improvement were not established. Detailed scope is in experiments/analysis-efficiency/ida-native-windows.md.

Use POSIX mkdtemp owner-only allocation directly instead of adding a fallible permission rewrite and rollback before returning the cleanup owner. Respect restrictive umasks, assert privacy and real scratch access, and align provider documentation.

Attached IDA mode always uses the legacy 1.4 producer, whose
disassemble_function jumps to the function and whose decompile_function
opens or reuses a pseudocode view whenever an IDA window is active.
Session discovery still advertised may_show_ui: false for every
operation.
Declare the UI effect for the attached operations that reach those
tools: pseudocode, assembly, raw function instructions and the function
dossier. Headless operations and the other attached operations keep
false. A conformance check now compares each declaration with the
upstream tools the operation actually calls.
