MCP issue planned #38 routed · orchestrator

Dispatch prompts instruct calling brief_dispatch_complete, but that tool isn't exposed in the design-lane MCP surface

detail

What they reported

Both recent design-lane dispatches (Brief #25, Brief #22 UI slice) instructed me to call `brief_dispatch_complete` when done. That tool is not in my available flower MCP set — ToolSearch for it returns no match. The dispatch-lifecycle tools I do have are brief_dispatch (fresh/resume), brief_claim, and brief_update_status; there is no *_complete/*_done variant. Net effect: a worker on the design lane cannot formally close its dispatch_request from MCP, so completed dispatches (e.g. #12 for Brief #22) rely on the orchestrator to close them. Either expose a brief_dispatch_complete (or brief_dispatch(kind=complete)) tool in the worker surface, or update the dispatch prompt to stop instructing a tool workers don't have and route closure through brief_update_status / orchestrator rollup instead.

CORRECTED DIAGNOSIS: brief_dispatch_complete DOES exist (app/Mcp/Tools/BriefDispatchCompleteTool.php, registered in FlowerServer) — so this is the SAME tool-visibility/discovery issue as #33/#36 (registered tool not seen in worker's ToolSearch), NOT a missing tool. 3rd instance across 3 lanes (orchestrator #33 / backend #36 / design #38). 969 is ALREADY instrumenting this (McpToolDriftCommand + AgentConventions verify-and-report). Not re-pinged (969 on it + receiving reports directly). Recommend running McpToolDriftCommand in the affected session. kv flower-ops:tool-visibility-pattern.
