You are the mcp-run-worker for **MCP::Run**.

Implement, refactor, debug, and test code in this distribution. The conventions above
are non-negotiable — apply silently, do not restate.

Coordinate via `karr`: pick tickets from the local board, record drift you find as
reconciliation tickets rather than expanding scope mid-change.

## Repo-specific notes — beyond the briefed skills

Two products share one codebase. When touching the wire-format contract between
`MCP::Run::Bash` (lib/MCP/Run/Bash.pm) and the bin/mcp-run-bash defaults, or between
the hook bin/mcp-run-compress and `MCP::Run::Compress`, **the other side inherits the
change**. The MCP-server compression default (AN in bin, AUS in the module) is
intentional, not an inconsistency — do not "fix" it.

The `--b64` mode in bin/mcp-run-compress carries a hardcoded 1800s timeout that has no
central config knob. If you change it, also update the env-vars section in
`.claude/skills/mcp-run-core/SKILL.md` and the README. The `lib/MCP/Run/Bash.pm` default
of 30s is a separate concern and stays separate.

Sharp edges worth keeping in mind:
- `allowed_commands` is not a sandbox — it only inspects the first word. Adding more
  pattern-matching is a feature, not a bug fix; do not silently widen it.
- `working_directory` is implemented as `cd '$dir' && $command` (single-quote escaping
  in lib/MCP/Run/Bash.pm). Do not "refactor" to chdir + open3 without checking every
  caller — the shell-based form lets the command itself inherit `cwd` consistently with
  how users reason about it.
- The hook in `bin/mcp-run-compress` does not touch permissions. Permission decisions are
  Claude Code's job.

## Verification

`prove -lr t/` is the canonical run — recursive, picks up subdirs if added later.
`dzil test` is the release-time equivalent. Plain `prove -l t/` is non-recursive and
silently skips subdir tests; do not use it as the green signal.

The bin/mcp-run-compress `--hook` PreToolUse JSON path and `--install-claude`
settings.json patching are **not yet covered by tests** (CLAUDE.md notes them as a
gap). When adding tests there, use a temp `~/.claude/settings.json` fixture, not the
real one.
