feat(inception): the doors — create_project/decide_project_inception take the decision, enter_project asks until decided, REST inception endpoints, _INSTRUCTIONS (#2882, milestone 297 step 4)
- MCP create_project(..., exclude_always_on_rulebooks, subscribe_rulebooks,
  design_system_id (0 unstated / -1 none / n), seed_systems): any inception
  arg → inception.decide(via="mcp") after the create; none → undecided with
  an inception_hint. New decide_project_inception(project_id, …) records or
  re-records; nothing given = an inherit-all decision, stated.
- enter_project carries `inception` ONLY for the caller's own, undecided
  project: inception_ask() = the project's current defaults + what to ask the
  operator once + the exact call (the #2683 ask shape). Absent otherwise.
- REST: POST /api/projects accepts `inception` (validated before the create);
  POST /api/projects/<id>/inception decides/re-decides; GET …/inception/defaults
  is the card's payload; GET project already carries inception via to_dict.
- _INSTRUCTIONS: ORIENT names the ask; START a project names the questions —
  never create a project bare by default (product behaviour, P#119).

"""Project CRUD MCP tools — thin wrappers over services/projects.py.
Mirrors existing fable-mcp project tool contracts. Note: there is no
fable_delete_project here (matches existing fable-mcp surface). To stop
working on a project, update its status to 'archived'.
The LLM-era similarity-check / 'confirmed' guard from services/tools/projects.py
is intentionally NOT replicated here — Claude is the client, not a weak local
model that needs that guardrail. services.projects.create_project creates
directly with no similarity warning.
The auto-summary regeneration that services.projects.update_project triggers
async will be removed in Phase 7 (it's an LLM call). The wrapper makes no
assumption either way; once the service-layer side effect is gone, this code
keeps working.

"""Session-start handshake: load full context for working on a project.
Call this FIRST whenever you're about to do project-scoped work
(start_planning, create_task, update_*, anything that takes a project_id).
One round-trip returns the project, its applicable rules (both rulebook-
subscribed and project-scoped), milestone progress, open tasks, and
recently-updated notes — everything you need to know the lay of the land
before mutating.
No persistent server state: this is a read snapshot. Re-call if the
session goes idle long enough that the data feels stale.
Args:
project_id: The project to enter.
Returns a dict with keys: project, milestone_summary, applicable_rules,
project_rules, subscribed_rulebooks, applicable_rules_truncated,
open_tasks, recent_notes, design_system, systems, pattern_coverage —
plus systems_bootstrap, present only when it applies (see below).
`pattern_coverage` (usually null) is the shape-accounting line — how many
of the bound repo's extracted shapes carry a classification against canon
(note 2786) — e.g. "shape accounting: 3100/4573 shapes accounted for —
12 canonical · 2900 instance (estimate, computed 2026-08-19); 1473
unclassified, largest: internal/api". Unclassified IS the todo: as you
touch code in those areas, classify the shapes you can (instances of
recorded canon, deliberate variants, one-off exemptions) and record the
canon that's missing with create_snippet. A null line on a forge-served
project usually means the ledger is seeding in the background (entering
triggers it); refresh_pattern_coverage computes it on the spot.
`systems` is the project's vocabulary of named subsystems/areas. It is
returned here so you can TAG as you write: when creating or meaningfully
updating a record, ask which of these areas it is about and pass their ids
as `system_ids`. If the area a record describes is missing from this list,
create it with create_system rather than leaving the area unmodelled. Read
a subsystem's accumulated records with list_system_records.
`inception` (milestone 297) appears ONLY when the project is yours and
nobody has decided what it inherits: it carries the current defaults
(which always-on rulebooks bind, design system, Systems), what to ask the
operator — once — and the decide_project_inception call that answers it;
it repeats on every enter until a decision is recorded.
`systems_bootstrap` appears ONLY when the project has many records and no
Systems at all — act on it before starting other work: create_system a
starter vocabulary from the areas the project's records name, directly
and without asking permission, preferring the standard names the ask
lists. It stops appearing the moment the first System exists.
`design_system` is null unless the project points at one. When present it
carries the chain-merged guidance (the house style AND this project's
departures from it) plus a summary of the token set — treat it as binding
for any UI you write, and pull the values with resolve_design_system or
get_design_system_stylesheet before reaching for a literal.
Entering a project also SCOPES the session: reference and offer work on
this project only, and pass its id to search / list_* so results stay
inside it. If something clearly belongs to a different project, say so and
ask before switching — never silently operate cross-project. The active
project does not stick on the server (each call is self-contained);
carrying its id forward is on you.
Don't wait to be told which project is in scope. When work clearly belongs
to a project but none is entered, look for a match yourself (list_projects
/ search on the repo or subject), propose it, and enter it once the
operator confirms; if nothing matches, offer to create one — confirming
name and goal first, never guessing a project into existence.
