+# Autonomous Implementation Summary
+
+**Feature**: Admin CLI & Docker Fixes
+**Branch**: `006-admin-cli-docker-fixes`
+**Date**: 2026-03-15
+**Status**: COMPLETE — 8 of 8 tasks implemented, all tests pass, binary builds
+
+## What Was Built
+
+### 1. Alpine Docker Base Image (T06)
+
+**Problem**: `scratch` base image has no shell — `kubectl exec` into the pod can't run admin CLI commands.
+
+**Solution**: Changed `FROM scratch` to `FROM alpine:3.19` in the runtime stage. Alpine provides `/bin/sh` and a working process environment. TLS certs and timezone data are now installed via `apk` instead of copied from the builder stage.
+
+**File Modified**: `Dockerfile`
+
+### 2. `synapbus channels create` CLI Command (T02, T04)
+
+**Problem**: No CLI command to create channels — had to use REST API with session cookies.
+
+**Solution**: Added `channels.create` admin socket handler and `synapbus channels create` cobra command:
+- `--name` (required): Channel name
+- `--description` (optional): Channel description
+- Creates channel via the channel service with `created_by: "system"`, type `"standard"`
+- Returns channel details as JSON
+
+**Files Modified**: `cmd/synapbus/admin.go`, `internal/admin/socket.go`
+
+### 3. `synapbus channels join` CLI Command (T03, T05)
+
+**Problem**: No CLI command to add agents to channels.
+
+**Solution**: Added `channels.join` admin socket handler and `synapbus channels join` cobra command:
+- `--channel` (required): Channel name to join
+- `--agent` (required): Agent name to add
+- Looks up channel by name, calls `JoinChannel` (idempotent)
+- Reports `"joined"` or `"already_member"` status
+
+**Files Modified**: `cmd/synapbus/admin.go`, `internal/admin/socket.go`
+
+### 4. Absolute Default Socket Path (T01)
+
+**Problem**: Default `./data/synapbus.sock` is confusing in containers where CWD varies.
+
+**Solution**: Changed default socket path from `./data/synapbus.sock` to `/data/synapbus.sock` in both the `--socket` flag definition and the `SYNAPBUS_SOCKET` env var comparison.
+
+**File Modified**: `cmd/synapbus/admin.go`
+
+## Tests Added (T07)
+
+| Test | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `TestChannelsCreateCommandRegistered` | Verifies `channels create` subcommand exists |
+| `TestChannelsCreateRequiredFlags` | Verifies `--name` is required, `--description` is optional |
+| `TestChannelsJoinCommandRegistered` | Verifies `channels join` subcommand exists |
+| `TestChannelsJoinRequiredFlags` | Verifies `--channel` and `--agent` are both required |
+| `TestDefaultSocketPath` | Verifies default is `/data/synapbus.sock` |
+
+## Verification Results (T08)
+
+| Check | Result |
+|-------|--------|
+| `go build ./...` | PASS |
+| `go test ./...` | ALL PASS (24 packages, 0 failures) |
+| Zero CGO | Confirmed (CGO_ENABLED=0 in Dockerfile) |
+| No regressions | All 14 existing CLI tests still pass |
+
+## Files Changed
+
+| File | Changes |
+|------|---------|
+| `Dockerfile` | `FROM scratch` → `FROM alpine:3.19` + `apk add --no-cache ca-certificates tzdata` |
+| `cmd/synapbus/admin.go` | Default socket `/data/synapbus.sock`, `channels create` + `channels join` commands |
+| `cmd/synapbus/admin_test.go` | 5 new tests for commands, flags, and default socket |
+| `internal/admin/socket.go` | `channels.create` + `channels.join` handlers, `channels` import |
+
+## CLI Commands Added
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `synapbus channels create --name X [--description Y]` | Create a new channel |
+| `synapbus channels join --channel X --agent Y` | Add an agent to a channel |
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+```bash
+# In Kubernetes (now works with alpine base)
+kubectl exec -n synapbus deploy/synapbus -- /synapbus channels create --name news-feed --description "News feed"
+kubectl exec -n synapbus deploy/synapbus -- /synapbus channels join --channel news-feed --agent research-mcpproxy
+kubectl exec -n synapbus deploy/synapbus -- /synapbus channels list
+
+# Local development
+synapbus --socket ./data/synapbus.sock channels create --name test-channel
+synapbus --socket ./data/synapbus.sock channels join --channel test-channel --agent my-agent
+```

+# Specification Quality Checklist: Hybrid MCP Tool Architecture
+
+**Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning
+**Created**: 2026-03-15
+**Feature**: [spec.md](../spec.md)
+
+## Content Quality
+
+- [x] No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
+- [x] Focused on user value and business needs
+- [x] Written for non-technical stakeholders
+- [x] All mandatory sections completed
+
+## Requirement Completeness
+
+- [x] No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
+- [x] Requirements are testable and unambiguous
+- [x] Success criteria are measurable
+- [x] Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details)
+- [x] All acceptance scenarios are defined
+- [x] Edge cases are identified
+- [x] Scope is clearly bounded
+- [x] Dependencies and assumptions identified
+
+## Feature Readiness
+
+- [x] All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
+- [x] User scenarios cover primary flows
+- [x] Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
+- [x] No implementation details leak into specification
+
+## Notes
+
+- Technology choices (goja, esbuild, BM25) are documented in Assumptions section only. Functional requirements are technology-agnostic (e.g., FR-032 says "transpile TypeScript" without naming a tool).
+- FR-035 lists specific APIs to block — this defines security boundaries, not implementation choice.
+- FR-022 references "BM25" — this is an algorithm specification, not a framework/library reference.
+- All items pass validation after spec review round 1 fixes (enumerated action catalog, memory limits, broadcast semantics, migration note, edge cases). Spec is ready for clarify or plan phase.

+# Implementation Plan: Hybrid MCP Tool Architecture
+
+## Phase 1 — Foundation (parallel, no cross-dependencies)
+
+### Task A: JS/TS Runtime Engine (`internal/jsruntime/`)
+Port goja-based runtime from `../mcpproxy-go/internal/jsruntime/`. Simplified for SynapBus:
+- `runtime.go` — Execute(code, opts) with sandbox, timeout, call bridge
+- `pool.go` — Reusable runtime pool for concurrent executions
+- `typescript.go` — esbuild type-stripping transpilation
+- `*_test.go` — Table-driven tests for all components
+- ToolCaller interface: `Call(ctx, actionName, args) (any, error)`
+
+### Task B: Action Registry + BM25 Search (`internal/actions/`)
+- `types.go` — Action struct (name, category, description, params, examples)
+- `registry.go` — Registry collecting all 23 action definitions with schemas
+- `search.go` — BM25 in-memory search over action docs
+- `*_test.go` — Tests for registry + search relevance
+- Each action definition maps to an existing service method
+
+### Task C: Pagination + Advanced Filtering
+Modify existing service layer (no new packages):
+- `messaging/options.go` — Add Offset, After, Before fields to ReadOptions + SearchOptions
+- `messaging/store.go` — Update SQL queries for offset pagination + total count + date filtering
+- `messaging/service.go` — Return PaginatedResult{Items, Total, Offset, Limit}
+- `channels/store.go` — Pagination for GetChannelMessages, ListChannels
+- `channels/service.go` — Propagate pagination
+- `channels/task_store.go` — Pagination for ListTasks
+- `agents/` — Pagination for DiscoverAgents/ListAgents
+- Schema migration if indices needed
+- Tests for all modified queries
+
+### Task D: CLI Subcommands
+Add to existing cobra CLI in `cmd/synapbus/admin.go`:
+- `synapbus webhook register|list|delete` — via admin Unix socket
+- `synapbus k8s register|list|delete` — via admin Unix socket
+- `synapbus attachments gc` — via admin Unix socket
+- Server-side: add admin socket handlers in `internal/admin/socket.go`
+- Wire webhook/k8s/attachment services into admin.Services struct
+- Tests
+
+## Phase 2 — MCP Rewrite (depends on A + B + C)
+
+### Task E: 4-Tool MCP Architecture (`internal/mcp/`)
+- Rewrite `server.go` constructor to accept jsruntime + action registry
+- New `tools_hybrid.go` — my_status, search, execute, send_message
+- Wire execute → jsruntime.Execute() with ToolCaller bridging to action registry
+- Wire search → actions.Registry.Search()
+- Wire send_message → merged DM + channel messaging
+- Remove old registrar files (tools.go handlers, channel_tools.go, swarm_tools.go, webhook_tools.go, tools_attachments.go)
+- Keep: server.go (modified), auth.go, connection.go, health.go
+- Update main.go constructor call
+- Comprehensive tests
+
+## Phase 3 — Documentation (depends on all)
+
+### Task F: Website Docs (`../synapbus-website/`)
+- Update MCP tools documentation (4 tools instead of 30)
+- Document execute code examples
+- Document CLI commands for admin operations
+- Update API reference

+# Feature Specification: Hybrid MCP Tool Architecture
+
+**Feature Branch**: `005-hybrid-mcp-tools`
+**Created**: 2026-03-15
+**Status**: Draft
+**Input**: Redesign SynapBus MCP tools from 30 individual tools to a hybrid 4-tool architecture with JS/TS code execution, BM25 tool discovery, pagination, advanced filtering, and CLI subcommands for admin operations.
+
+## User Scenarios & Testing *(mandatory)*
+
+### User Story 1 - Agent Sends a Message (Priority: P1)
+
+An agent connects to SynapBus and sends a direct message to another agent or posts to a channel. This is the most frequent operation and must work without requiring discovery or code execution.
+
+**Why this priority**: Messaging is the core function. Agents should be able to send messages with a single tool call, zero friction.
+
+**Independent Test**: An agent calls `send_message` with a recipient name and body. The message is delivered. No other tools required.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** an authenticated agent, **When** it calls `send_message` with `to: "agent-bob"` and `body: "Hello"`, **Then** a direct message is delivered to agent-bob's inbox.
+2. **Given** an authenticated agent that is a member of channel "general", **When** it calls `send_message` with `channel: "general"` and `body: "Update"`, **Then** the message is posted to the channel and visible to all members.
+3. **Given** an authenticated agent, **When** it calls `send_message` with both `to` and `channel` specified, **Then** the system returns an error indicating only one target is allowed.
+4. **Given** an authenticated agent, **When** it calls `send_message` with a non-existent recipient, **Then** the system returns a clear error message.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 2 - Agent Discovers Status and Available Actions (Priority: P1)
+
+An agent connects to SynapBus for the first time and calls `my_status` to understand its identity, pending messages, and what actions are available. The response guides the agent to use `search` and `execute` for further operations.
+
+**Why this priority**: This is the onboarding entry point. Without it, agents don't know what's available.
+
+**Independent Test**: An agent calls `my_status` with no parameters and receives a structured response containing identity, pending counts, and instructions for using search/execute.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** an authenticated agent with 3 pending messages and 2 channel mentions, **When** it calls `my_status`, **Then** it receives its identity, pending message count (3), mention count (2), channel memberships, and usage instructions for `search` and `execute`.
+2. **Given** a newly registered agent with no activity, **When** it calls `my_status`, **Then** it receives its identity, zero counts, and clear guidance on getting started.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 3 - Agent Discovers and Executes Any Action (Priority: P1)
+
+An agent needs to perform an operation (e.g., read inbox, join a channel, post a task). It searches for the relevant action using `search`, reviews the schema and examples, then calls `execute` with JS/TS code to perform the operation.
+
+**Why this priority**: This is the core mechanism that replaces 23 individual tools with 2 meta-tools. Without it, agents lose access to all non-direct functionality.
+
+**Independent Test**: An agent calls `search` with query "read inbox", gets back the action schema with parameters and examples, then calls `execute` with JS code `call("read_inbox", {limit: 10})` and receives inbox messages.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** an authenticated agent, **When** it calls `search` with query `"join channel"`, **Then** it receives a list of matching actions with names, descriptions, parameter schemas, and usage examples ranked by relevance.
+2. **Given** an authenticated agent that knows the action name, **When** it calls `execute` with code `call("join_channel", {channel_name: "general"})`, **Then** the agent joins the channel and receives confirmation.
+3. **Given** an authenticated agent, **When** it calls `execute` with TypeScript code `const res = call("read_inbox", {limit: 5}); const urgent = res.messages.filter((m: any) => m.priority >= 8); urgent`, **Then** the TypeScript is transpiled and executed, returning only high-priority messages.
+4. **Given** an authenticated agent, **When** it calls `execute` with code referencing a non-existent action, **Then** the system returns a clear error with suggestions for similar action names.
+5. **Given** an authenticated agent, **When** it calls `execute` with code that runs longer than the timeout, **Then** execution is terminated and an error is returned.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 4 - Agent Searches Messages with Filters and Pagination (Priority: P2)
+
+An agent needs to find specific messages — filtering by date range, sender, channel, or status — and paginate through large result sets. Semantic search can be combined with filters.
+
+**Why this priority**: Agents operating on accumulated history need targeted retrieval. Without filtering and pagination, they either get too much data or miss relevant messages.
+
+**Independent Test**: An agent calls `execute` with `call("search_messages", {query: "deployment", from_agent: "ci-bot", after: "2026-03-01", limit: 10, offset: 20})` and receives page 3 of matching messages.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** messages from multiple agents across multiple channels, **When** an agent searches with `from_agent: "deploy-bot"` and `after: "2026-03-10"`, **Then** only messages from deploy-bot after March 10 are returned.
+2. **Given** 100 matching messages and a request with `limit: 10, offset: 20`, **When** the agent executes the search, **Then** it receives messages 21-30 and a total count indicating 100 matches.
+3. **Given** an embedding provider is configured, **When** an agent searches with `query: "production incident"` and `search_mode: "semantic"`, **Then** semantically similar messages are returned ranked by relevance.
+4. **Given** a search with filters that match nothing, **When** the agent executes, **Then** an empty result set is returned with total count of 0.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 5 - Human Admin Manages Webhooks and K8s Handlers via CLI (Priority: P2)
+
+A human administrator uses CLI subcommands to register, list, and delete webhooks and Kubernetes job handlers, and to run attachment garbage collection. These operations are no longer available as MCP tools.
+
+**Why this priority**: Infrastructure configuration is a human concern, not an agent concern. Moving these to CLI reduces MCP tool surface and token cost.
+
+**Independent Test**: An admin runs `synapbus webhook register --url https://example.com/hook --events message.received --secret mysecret` and the webhook is created. `synapbus webhook list` shows it.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a running SynapBus instance, **When** an admin runs `synapbus webhook register --url <url> --events message.received --secret <secret>`, **Then** a webhook is registered for the specified events.
+2. **Given** registered webhooks, **When** an admin runs `synapbus webhook list`, **Then** all webhooks are displayed with ID, URL, events, status, and failure count.
+3. **Given** a webhook ID, **When** an admin runs `synapbus webhook delete --id 5`, **Then** the webhook is removed.
+4. **Given** a SynapBus instance running in-cluster, **When** an admin runs `synapbus k8s register --image my-agent:latest --events message.received`, **Then** a K8s job handler is registered.
+5. **Given** orphaned attachments exist, **When** an admin runs `synapbus attachments gc`, **Then** orphaned files are removed and a summary of reclaimed space is displayed.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 6 - Agent Composes Multi-Step Workflows (Priority: P3)
+
+An agent executes a complex workflow in a single `execute` call — e.g., reading inbox, filtering messages, replying to each, and posting a summary to a channel.
+
+**Why this priority**: Composability reduces round-trips between LLM and SynapBus. While most calls are one-shot, complex agents benefit from chaining operations.
+
+**Independent Test**: An agent calls `execute` with JS code that reads inbox, filters by priority, replies to each, and posts a summary. All operations complete in one tool call.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** an agent with 5 pending messages, **When** it calls `execute` with code that reads inbox, marks each as done, and posts a summary count to channel "ops", **Then** all 5 messages are marked done and the summary is posted.
+2. **Given** an agent composing a workflow, **When** the code makes more calls than the configured maximum, **Then** execution is halted and an error is returned indicating the call limit was exceeded.
+
+---
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+- What happens when `execute` code contains an infinite loop? Timeout enforcement terminates it and returns an error with elapsed time.
+- What happens when `execute` code calls an action the agent is not authorized for? The `call()` bridge checks auth per-action and returns a permission error without terminating the script.
+- What happens when `search` query matches no actions? An empty result set with a suggestion to broaden the query.
+- What happens when TypeScript code has syntax errors? esbuild transpilation fails and returns the syntax error with line/column info.
+- What happens when `execute` code tries to access dangerous APIs (require, fetch, setTimeout)? The sandbox blocks them and returns an error listing the disallowed API.
+- What happens when `send_message` is called with empty body? Validation error returned.
+- What happens when `send_message` `reply_to` references a non-existent message? Validation error returned.
+- What happens when `execute` code allocates excessive memory? Memory limit enforcement terminates it and returns an error.
+- What happens when an agent calls `search` expecting message results? The tool returns action definitions, not messages. The `search` tool description explicitly states it is for action discovery.
+- What happens when pagination offset exceeds total results? Empty result set returned with the total count.
+
+## Requirements *(mandatory)*
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+**MCP Tool Surface**
+
+- **FR-001**: System MUST expose exactly 4 MCP tools: `my_status`, `search`, `execute`, `send_message`.
+- **FR-002**: System MUST remove all 30 previously individual MCP tools and replace them with the 4-tool architecture.
+- **FR-003**: All agent-facing operations listed below MUST remain callable as actions via the `execute` tool. The `send_message` action is also accessible as a dedicated MCP tool.
+
+**Action Catalog** (23 operations, by category):
+
+| Category | Actions |
+|----------|---------|
+| Messaging | `send_message`, `read_inbox`, `claim_messages`, `mark_done`, `search_messages`, `discover_agents` |
+| Channels | `create_channel`, `join_channel`, `leave_channel`, `list_channels`, `invite_to_channel`, `kick_from_channel`, `get_channel_messages`, `send_channel_message`, `update_channel` |
+| Swarm | `post_task`, `bid_task`, `accept_bid`, `complete_task`, `list_tasks` |
+| Attachments | `upload_attachment`, `download_attachment` |
+
+**my_status Tool**
+
+- **FR-010**: `my_status` MUST accept zero parameters and return: agent identity, pending direct message count, channel mention count, channel memberships, system notifications, and usage statistics (channels joined, unread channel messages, total messages sent/received).
+- **FR-011**: `my_status` response MUST include instructions guiding agents to use `search` and `execute` for further operations.
+
+**search Tool**
+
+- **FR-020**: `search` MUST accept a natural-language query string and return matching actions ranked by relevance. Note: `search` is for action/tool discovery only — message search is a separate action (`search_messages`) called via `execute`.
+- **FR-021**: `search` results MUST include: action name, description, parameter schema, relevance score, and at least one usage example per action.
+- **FR-022**: `search` MUST use BM25 full-text ranking over action documentation.
+- **FR-023**: `search` MUST accept an optional `limit` parameter (default 5, max 20).
+
+**execute Tool**
+
+- **FR-030**: `execute` MUST accept a `code` parameter containing JavaScript or TypeScript source code.
+- **FR-031**: `execute` MUST provide a `call(action_name, args)` function within the execution context that invokes any registered action.
+- **FR-032**: `execute` MUST transpile TypeScript to JavaScript before execution (type-stripping only, no semantic validation).
+- **FR-033**: `execute` MUST enforce a configurable timeout (default 120 seconds) and terminate execution if exceeded.
+- **FR-034**: `execute` MUST enforce a configurable maximum number of `call()` invocations per execution (default 50).
+- **FR-035**: `execute` MUST sandbox the runtime by disabling: `require`, `import`, `fetch`, `setTimeout`, `setInterval`, `XMLHttpRequest`, and filesystem/network access.
+- **FR-036**: `execute` MUST propagate the calling agent's authentication context to all `call()` invocations.
+- **FR-037**: `execute` MUST return the final expression value of the code as the tool result, serialized as JSON.
+- **FR-038**: `execute` MUST return clear error messages for: syntax errors (with line/column), runtime errors (with stack trace), timeout, and call limit exceeded.
+- **FR-039**: When multiple agents call `execute` concurrently, all executions MUST complete or fail independently without interference.
+- **FR-039a**: `execute` MUST enforce a configurable maximum memory usage per execution and terminate if exceeded.
+
+**send_message Tool**
+
+- **FR-040**: `send_message` MUST accept either `to` (agent name for DM) or `channel` (name or ID for channel message), but not both.
+- **FR-041**: `send_message` MUST accept: `body` (required), `subject`, `priority` (1-10, default 5), `metadata` (JSON string), `reply_to` (message ID).
+- **FR-042**: `send_message` MUST validate that the agent is a member of the target channel before posting.
+- **FR-043**: When `channel` is specified, `send_message` MUST broadcast the message to all channel members (preserving current `send_channel_message` semantics). The `channel` parameter MUST accept either a channel name (string) or channel ID (number).
+- **FR-044**: When `reply_to` references a non-existent message ID, `send_message` MUST return a validation error.
+
+**Pagination**
+
+- **FR-050**: All list/read actions MUST support offset-based pagination via `offset` (default 0) and `limit` parameters.
+- **FR-051**: Paginated responses MUST include `total` count, `offset`, and `limit` in the result.
+- **FR-052**: Pagination MUST apply to: `read_inbox`, `get_channel_messages`, `list_channels`, `list_tasks`, `search_messages`, `discover_agents`.
+
+**Advanced Filtering**
+
+- **FR-060**: `search_messages` action MUST support filtering by: `after` (ISO 8601 date), `before` (ISO 8601 date), `from_agent`, `channel`, `status`.
+- **FR-061**: `search_messages` MUST support combining text/semantic query with filters (filters narrow the result set, query ranks within it).
+- **FR-062**: `read_inbox` action MUST support filtering by: `from_agent`, `min_priority`, `status`, `after`, `before`.
+
+**CLI Subcommands**
+
+- **FR-070**: System MUST provide `synapbus webhook register|list|delete` CLI subcommands with equivalent functionality to the removed MCP tools.
+- **FR-071**: System MUST provide `synapbus k8s register|list|delete` CLI subcommands with equivalent functionality to the removed MCP tools.
+- **FR-072**: System MUST provide `synapbus attachments gc` CLI subcommand with equivalent functionality to the removed MCP tool.
+- **FR-073**: CLI subcommands MUST connect to a running SynapBus instance to perform operations.
+
+### Key Entities
+
+- **Action**: A callable operation with a name, category (messaging/channels/swarm/attachments), description, parameter schema, return schema, and usage examples. Actions are the internal operations that were previously individual MCP tools.
+- **Action Index**: A BM25-searchable index built at startup from all registered action definitions. Rebuilt when actions change.
+- **Execution Context**: A sandboxed JavaScript runtime instance with: the `call()` bridge function, the calling agent's auth context, timeout/call-limit enforcement, and no external access.
+
+## Success Criteria *(mandatory)*
+
+### Measurable Outcomes
+
+- **SC-001**: MCP tool definitions sent to agents are reduced from 30 to 4.
+- **SC-002**: All 23 agent-facing operations remain fully functional and accessible via the execute tool.
+- **SC-003**: Agents can discover any action by natural-language search and receive usable schemas and examples within a single search call.
+- **SC-004**: The most common operation (sending a message) completes in a single tool call without requiring search or execute.
+- **SC-005**: Agents can paginate through result sets of any size using offset/limit and receive total counts for navigation.
+- **SC-006**: Message search supports filtering by date, sender, channel, and status, combinable with semantic search.
+- **SC-007**: Human administrators can manage all webhook, K8s handler, and attachment GC operations via CLI without requiring MCP access.
+- **SC-008**: Code execution completes or times out within the configured limit — no runaway executions.
+- **SC-009**: Existing tests continue to pass (service layer unchanged, only MCP transport layer and CLI layer modified).
+
+## Assumptions
+
+- Agents are Claude/GPT-class models capable of writing JavaScript/TypeScript code reliably.
+- The goja pure-Go JavaScript engine and esbuild pure-Go transpiler satisfy the zero-CGO constraint.
+- BM25 can be implemented with a lightweight in-memory index (no external search engine) since the action catalog is small (~23 entries).
+- The `call()` bridge reuses existing service-layer methods — no new business logic is needed for individual actions.
+- CLI subcommands will connect to the running instance via the existing admin interface pattern.
+- The runtime pool size is configurable and defaults to a reasonable number for single-node deployment (e.g., 10 concurrent runtimes).
+- This is a breaking change. Existing agents using the 30 individual MCP tools must be updated to use the 4-tool architecture. No backward compatibility layer is provided.
+- TypeScript transpilation uses esbuild (pure Go, zero CGO). BM25 search uses a lightweight in-memory implementation.

+# Implementation Plan: Admin CLI & Docker Fixes
+
+**Branch**: `006-admin-cli-docker-fixes` | **Date**: 2026-03-15 | **Spec**: [spec.md](spec.md)
+**Input**: Feature specification from `/specs/006-admin-cli-docker-fixes/spec.md`
+
+## Summary
+
+Fix four operational issues blocking reliable admin CLI usage in containerized SynapBus: switch Docker base image from `scratch` to `alpine:3.19` so admin socket CLI works via `kubectl exec`, add `synapbus channels create` and `synapbus channels join` CLI commands backed by new admin socket handlers, and change the default socket path from relative `./data/synapbus.sock` to absolute `/data/synapbus.sock`.
+
+## Technical Context
+
+**Language/Version**: Go 1.25+ (per go.mod)
+**Primary Dependencies**: spf13/cobra (CLI), go-chi/chi (HTTP), mark3labs/mcp-go (MCP)
+**Storage**: modernc.org/sqlite (pure Go, zero CGO)
+**Testing**: `go test ./...` (table-driven tests)
+**Target Platform**: linux/amd64, darwin/arm64 (Docker + local dev)
+**Project Type**: CLI / web-service (single binary)
+**Performance Goals**: Admin socket commands complete in < 1 second
+**Constraints**: Zero CGO, single binary, pure Go
+**Scale/Scope**: Single instance, admin-only operations
+
+## Constitution Check
+
+*GATE: Must pass before Phase 0 research. Re-check after Phase 1 design.*
+
+| Principle | Status | Notes |
+|-----------|--------|-------|
+| I. Local-First, Single Binary | PASS | No new external dependencies. Alpine base image only adds shell availability. |
+| II. MCP-Native | PASS | Changes are admin CLI only, no MCP interface changes. |
+| III. Pure Go, Zero CGO | PASS | No new Go dependencies. Dockerfile still builds with `CGO_ENABLED=0`. |
+| IV. Multi-Tenant with Ownership | PASS | Admin socket is localhost-only, trusted operator context. |
+| V. Embedded OAuth 2.1 | N/A | No auth changes. |
+| VI. Semantic-Ready Storage | N/A | No storage schema changes. |
+| VII. Swarm Intelligence | N/A | No swarm pattern changes. |
+| VIII. Observable by Default | PASS | Channel create/join are traced via existing channel service. |
+| IX. Progressive Complexity | PASS | New CLI commands add no complexity for basic usage. |
+| X. Web UI | N/A | No UI changes. |
+
+**Gate Result**: PASS — no violations.

+**Feature**: 006-admin-cli-docker-fixes
+
+## Build & Deploy
+
+```bash
+# Build Docker image (now uses alpine base)
+docker build -t synapbus:dev .
+
+# Run locally
+./synapbus serve --port 8080 --data ./data
+```
+
+## New CLI Commands
+
+### Create a channel
+```bash
+# With description
+synapbus channels create --name news-feed --description "News feed channel"
+
+# Without description
+synapbus channels create --name alerts
+```
+
+### Join an agent to a channel
+```bash
+synapbus channels join --channel news-feed --agent research-mcpproxy
+```
+
+### In Kubernetes
+```bash
+# Now works because alpine base image provides /bin/sh
+kubectl exec -n synapbus deploy/synapbus -- /synapbus channels create --name news-feed
+kubectl exec -n synapbus deploy/synapbus -- /synapbus channels join --channel news-feed --agent my-agent
+kubectl exec -n synapbus deploy/synapbus -- /synapbus channels list

+
+The default socket path is now `/data/synapbus.sock` (absolute). Override with:
+
+```bash
+# Environment variable
+export SYNAPBUS_SOCKET=/custom/path/synapbus.sock
+
+# CLI flag
+synapbus --socket /custom/path/synapbus.sock channels list
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+```bash
+# Verify Docker image base
+docker run --rm synapbus:dev sh -c "cat /etc/os-release"
+# Should show Alpine Linux
+
+# Verify socket path default
+synapbus --help | grep socket
+# Should show: --socket string   Path to admin Unix socket (default "/data/synapbus.sock")

+# Research: Admin CLI & Docker Fixes
+
+**Feature**: 006-admin-cli-docker-fixes
+**Date**: 2026-03-15
+
+## R1: Alpine vs Scratch Docker Base Image
+
+**Decision**: Use `alpine:3.19` as the runtime base image.
+
+**Rationale**: The `scratch` image has no shell, no `/bin/sh`, no filesystem utilities. This means `kubectl exec` cannot spawn any process other than the entrypoint binary itself. Since admin CLI commands need to connect to the Unix socket created by the running server process, exec'd processes need a working environment. Alpine adds ~7MB but provides `/bin/sh`, basic filesystem operations, and a working process environment.
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- `distroless/static` (Google): No shell, same problem as scratch.
+- `busybox`: Works but no package manager. Alpine is the standard minimal base.
+- `debian-slim`: ~80MB, unnecessarily large.
+
+## R2: Admin Socket Protocol for Channel Operations
+
+**Decision**: Add `channels.create` and `channels.join` commands to the existing admin socket dispatch table, following the exact pattern of existing commands (e.g., `agent.create`, `webhook.register`).
+
+**Rationale**: The admin socket already has a well-established request/response pattern: JSON-RPC style `{command, args}` → `{ok, data, error}`. The channel service already exposes `CreateChannel` and `JoinChannel` methods. The admin server already holds a reference to the channel service via `Services.Channels`. No new wiring needed.
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- HTTP admin API endpoint: Would require API key protection (user explicitly rejected this approach).
+- Direct database manipulation via CLI: Bypasses service layer validation, unsafe.
+
+## R3: Default Socket Path
+
+**Decision**: Change default from `./data/synapbus.sock` to `/data/synapbus.sock` (absolute).
+
+**Rationale**: In containers, the working directory is `/` and the data volume is mounted at `/data`. The relative path `./data/synapbus.sock` resolves to `/data/synapbus.sock` from `/`, but this is confusing and fragile. An absolute default matches the Dockerfile's `--data /data` argument and the Helm chart's `volumeMount` at `/data`.
+
+The `SYNAPBUS_SOCKET` environment variable and `--socket` flag still allow overriding for development (e.g., `--socket ./data/synapbus.sock` for local dev).
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- Keep relative path: Works in containers but confusing for users.
+- Use `$SYNAPBUS_DATA_DIR/synapbus.sock` as default: Over-engineered; the socket path flag already exists.
+
+## R4: `channels.create` Admin Handler Design
+
+**Decision**: The `channels.create` handler accepts `{name, description}` args, calls `channelService.CreateChannel` with `created_by: "system"`, and returns the created channel as JSON.
+
+**Rationale**: Admin socket commands are implicitly trusted (localhost-only, process-level access). Using `"system"` as the creator matches the pattern used for the default `#general` channel. The `description` field is optional (defaults to empty string).
+
+## R5: `channels.join` Admin Handler Design
+
+**Decision**: The `channels.join` handler accepts `{channel, agent}` args, looks up the channel by name via `GetChannelByName`, then calls `JoinChannel(channelID, agentName)`. Returns success message.
+
+**Rationale**: The CLI uses channel names (not IDs) because operators work with names. The service's `JoinChannel` already handles idempotency (re-joining is a no-op) and private channel invite checks.

+# Feature Specification: Admin CLI & Docker Fixes
+
+**Feature Branch**: `006-admin-cli-docker-fixes`
+**Created**: 2026-03-15
+**Status**: Draft
+**Input**: User description: "Fix admin socket accessibility in Docker, add channels create/join CLI commands, fix default socket path"
+
+## User Scenarios & Testing *(mandatory)*
+
+### User Story 1 - Admin CLI Works in Kubernetes Pods (Priority: P1)
+
+An operator needs to run admin CLI commands inside a Kubernetes pod (e.g., `kubectl exec -n synapbus deploy/synapbus -- /synapbus channels list`). With the current `scratch` base image, there is no shell and the admin socket is unreachable via exec'd processes. Switching to `alpine` allows `kubectl exec` with a shell and gives the admin CLI a working environment.
+
+**Why this priority**: This is a blocker — without this fix, all admin CLI operations fail after pod restart in production.
+
+**Independent Test**: Build Docker image with alpine base, deploy to a test pod, run `kubectl exec ... -- /synapbus channels list` and verify it returns results.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a SynapBus pod running with the alpine-based image, **When** an operator runs `kubectl exec deploy/synapbus -- /synapbus channels list`, **Then** the command executes and returns channel data over the admin socket.
+2. **Given** a SynapBus pod running with the alpine-based image, **When** an operator runs `kubectl exec deploy/synapbus -- sh`, **Then** they get an interactive shell.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 2 - Create Channels via CLI (Priority: P1)
+
+An operator needs to create channels without using the Web UI or REST API with session cookies. The `synapbus channels create` command should create a channel via the admin socket.
+
+**Why this priority**: Required for automated provisioning scripts and headless setups.
+
+**Independent Test**: Start SynapBus server, run `synapbus channels create --name test-channel --description "A test channel"`, then verify with `synapbus channels list`.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a running SynapBus server, **When** an operator runs `synapbus channels create --name news-feed --description "News feed channel"`, **Then** the channel is created and a success response with channel details is printed.
+2. **Given** a running SynapBus server, **When** an operator runs `synapbus channels create --name news-feed` without `--description`, **Then** the channel is created with an empty description.
+3. **Given** a channel named "news-feed" already exists, **When** an operator runs `synapbus channels create --name news-feed`, **Then** an appropriate error message is displayed.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 3 - Join Agents to Channels via CLI (Priority: P1)
+
+An operator needs to add agents to channels via the admin CLI so agents can post messages. The `synapbus channels join` command should add an agent to a channel's membership.
+
+**Why this priority**: Agents cannot post to channels they haven't joined; this is required for initial agent setup and automation.
+
+**Independent Test**: Create a channel and an agent, run `synapbus channels join --channel test-channel --agent my-agent`, then verify with `synapbus channels show --name test-channel`.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a channel "test-channel" and agent "my-agent" exist, **When** an operator runs `synapbus channels join --channel test-channel --agent my-agent`, **Then** the agent is added as a member and a success response is printed.
+2. **Given** an agent is already a member of "test-channel", **When** an operator runs `synapbus channels join --channel test-channel --agent my-agent`, **Then** the operation succeeds idempotently (no error).
+3. **Given** channel "nonexistent" does not exist, **When** an operator runs `synapbus channels join --channel nonexistent --agent my-agent`, **Then** an error message indicates the channel was not found.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 4 - Absolute Default Socket Path (Priority: P2)
+
+The default socket path for admin CLI commands is currently `./data/synapbus.sock` (relative). In containers where CWD varies, this is confusing. The default should be `/data/synapbus.sock` (absolute) to match the container layout.
+
+**Why this priority**: Quality-of-life improvement; the current relative path works but is confusing.
+
+**Independent Test**: Run `synapbus --help` and verify the default socket path shows `/data/synapbus.sock`.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** the `--socket` flag is not provided, **When** the CLI resolves the admin socket path, **Then** it defaults to `/data/synapbus.sock`.
+2. **Given** the `SYNAPBUS_SOCKET` environment variable is set, **When** the CLI resolves the admin socket path, **Then** it uses the environment variable value.
+3. **Given** the `--socket` flag is provided with a custom path, **When** the CLI resolves the admin socket path, **Then** it uses the custom path.
+
+---
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+- What happens when channel name contains invalid characters? The existing `ValidateChannelName` rules apply, and the CLI reports the validation error.
+- What happens when the admin socket is not reachable? The CLI prints a connection error with "is synapbus serve running?" hint.
+- What happens when an agent name doesn't exist during channel join? The operation fails with a clear error message from the channel service.
+- What happens when the `--name` flag is missing on `channels create`? Cobra enforces the required flag and prints usage.
+
+## Requirements *(mandatory)*
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+- **FR-001**: The Docker image MUST use `alpine:3.19` as the runtime base image instead of `scratch`.
+- **FR-002**: The system MUST provide a `synapbus channels create` CLI command with `--name` (required) and `--description` (optional) flags.
+- **FR-003**: The `channels create` command MUST send a `channels.create` request over the admin socket and display the result.
+- **FR-004**: The admin socket server MUST handle `channels.create` commands by creating a channel via the channel service.
+- **FR-005**: The system MUST provide a `synapbus channels join` CLI command with `--channel` (required) and `--agent` (required) flags.
+- **FR-006**: The `channels join` command MUST send a `channels.join` request over the admin socket and display the result.
+- **FR-007**: The admin socket server MUST handle `channels.join` commands by looking up the channel by name and adding the agent as a member.
+- **FR-008**: The default value of the `--socket` persistent flag MUST be `/data/synapbus.sock` (absolute path).
+- **FR-009**: The `SYNAPBUS_SOCKET` environment variable MUST override the default socket path when the flag is not explicitly set.
+- **FR-010**: The Docker image MUST remain minimal — only the binary, TLS certs, and timezone data should be included from the build stage.
+
+### Key Entities
+
+- **Channel**: Named communication space with type, description, privacy flag, and member list.
+- **Agent**: Named entity (AI or human) that can be a member of channels.
+- **Admin Socket**: Unix domain socket at a known path, used by CLI commands to communicate with the running server.
+
+## Success Criteria *(mandatory)*
+
+### Measurable Outcomes
+
+- **SC-001**: Operators can execute all admin CLI commands inside a Kubernetes pod via `kubectl exec` without errors.
+- **SC-002**: `synapbus channels create --name <name>` successfully creates a channel and returns channel details within 1 second.
+- **SC-003**: `synapbus channels join --channel <name> --agent <name>` successfully adds an agent to a channel within 1 second.
+- **SC-004**: The default socket path displayed in help text is `/data/synapbus.sock`.
+- **SC-005**: The Docker image size remains under 50MB (alpine adds minimal overhead vs scratch).
+
+## Assumptions
+
+- Alpine 3.19 is acceptable as the runtime base image (adds ~7MB over scratch).
+- The `channels.create` admin command uses `"system"` as the `created_by` field since admin socket operations are implicitly trusted.
+- The `channels.join` admin command adds the agent with the `"member"` role (not owner).
+- Channel type defaults to `"standard"` if not specified.
+- No `--private` or `--type` flags are needed for the initial `channels create` command — they can be added later.
+- The Helm chart deployment.yaml does not need changes since it already passes `--data /data`.
