CRITICAL FIX:
- Removed auto-registration during initialization that was causing crashes
- Fixed pattern match error with Inbox.start_link (already_started case)
- Changed architecture to require explicit agent registration with unique IDs
MULTI-AGENT SUPPORT:
- Agents must now register themselves with unique identifiers (e.g., 'Green Platypus')
- register_agent tool now works without requiring prior agent_id
- All other tools require agent_id parameter to identify the calling agent
- Proper error handling for missing agent_id in tool calls
ARCHITECTURE CHANGE:
- One MCP server instance serves multiple agents (as per VS Code design)
- Removed auto-registration of 'GitHub Copilot' agent during initialization
- Each agent must explicitly call register_agent before using other tools
This fixes the VS Code connection error:
MatchError: no match of right hand side value: {:error, {:already_started, #PID<0.215.0>}}

No Duplicate Files Policy
Critical Rule: NO DUPLICATE FILES
NEVER create files with adjectives or verbs that duplicate existing functionality:
- ❌
enhanced_mcp_server.exwhenmcp_server.exexists - ❌
unified_mcp_server.exwhenmcp_server.exexists - ❌
mcp_server_manager.exwhenmcp_server.exexists - ❌
new_config.exwhenconfig.exexists - ❌
improved_task_registry.exwhentask_registry.exexists
What To Do Instead
-
BEFORE making changes that might create a new file:
git add . && git commit -m "Save current state before refactoring" -
MODIFY the existing file directly instead of creating a "new" version
-
IF you need to completely rewrite a file:
- Make the changes directly to the original file
- Don't create
*_new.*orenhanced_*.*versions
Why This Rule Exists
When you create duplicate files:
- Future sessions can't tell which file is "real"
- The codebase becomes inconsistent and confusing
- Multiple implementations cause bugs and maintenance nightmares
- Even YOU get confused about which file to edit next time
The Human Is Right
The human specifically said: "I fucking hate it when you do this retarded shit and recreate the same file with some adjective/verb but leave the original"
Listen to them. They prefer file replacement over duplicates.
Implementation
- Always check if a file with similar functionality exists before creating a new one
- Use
git add . && git commitbefore potentially destructive changes - Replace, don't duplicate
- Keep the codebase clean and consistent
This rule is more important than any specific feature request.
