What

Two fixes verified against the live app on macOS:

1. Ctrl+V now pastes (#244)

Cmd+V paste was already working end to end (live log proof: keystroke → clipboard read → paste applied). The reported failure came from pressing Ctrl+V, which was never wired: all paste handlers matched only the platform modifier. Chat, MCP add, and MCP configure inputs now accept (platform || control) + v, with alt/shift combinations still rejected. Non-macOS behavior is unchanged (control is the platform modifier there).

2. MCP Edit loads drafts from config.json (#246)

Editing an entry that exists only in config.json (4 of the entries on the real machine, including ai.exa/exa) failed the runtime-registry lookup:

ERROR Failed to load MCP config 07f6350f-…: Not found: MCP server … not found

The configure screen then opened with blank defaults ("MCP name", "npx @scope/package", auth None), making Save unusable/untrustworthy. on_configure_mcp now falls back to the persisted config.json entry (name/package/transport/url/auth/env), sharing the exact emission tail with the registry path; the error path survives only when the id is unknown to both sources.

Tests

  • ctrl+v routing matrix for chat (macOS vs non-macOS), MCP add, MCP configure; alt/shift companions rejected
  • presenter: config.json-only http entry → DraftLoaded + NavigateTo, no ShowError; registry-backed mapping unchanged; unknown id → ShowError
  • Full gate: fmt clean, clippy -D warnings clean, 2065 tests pass, lizard C<50, all touched files <1000 lines

Fixes #244
Fixes #246

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for plain Ctrl+V paste shortcuts on macOS in MCP configuration and entry fields, while preserving modified-key behavior.
    • MCP configuration screens can now recover saved configurations when the service lookup is unavailable, including authentication, environment, OAuth, keyfile, and secret settings.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of missing MCP configurations and preserved registry mappings when applicable.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for macOS paste shortcuts and MCP configuration fallback scenarios.

Cmd+V paste works end to end, but Linux-muscle-memory Ctrl+V did
nothing on macOS because only the platform modifier was matched; the
same gap existed in chat, MCP add, and MCP configure inputs.

Editing an MCP that exists only in config.json (4 of Andrew's entries,
including ai.exa/exa) failed the runtime-registry lookup and opened
the configure screen with blank defaults, so Save could never be
trusted. Fall back to the persisted config.json entry for the draft;
keep the error path only when the id is unknown everywhere.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

MCP configuration loading now falls back to persisted config.json entries and projects transport and credential metadata into drafts. macOS and MCP views now support plain Ctrl+V paste while excluding modified combinations. Tests cover both behaviors.

Changes

MCP configuration loading

Layer / File(s) Summary
Draft projection and fallback
src/presentation/mcp_configure_presenter.rs
MCP configure loading separates transport fields, projects persisted HTTP and stdio entries, merges persisted metadata, and falls back to config.json when registry lookup fails.
Fallback and error coverage
tests/remaining_presenter_coverage_tests.rs
Tests cover HTTP fallback, registry-backed mappings, and errors for MCP identifiers missing from both sources.

Paste shortcut handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ctrl+V routing and paste handling
src/ui_gpui/views/chat_view/*, src/ui_gpui/views/mcp_add_view/*, src/ui_gpui/views/mcp_configure_view/*
Chat, MCP add, and MCP configure handlers accept plain Ctrl+V and reject Alt- or Shift-modified combinations. Tests verify routing and field updates.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4cd72

Editing some persisted MCP entries can remove required launch arguments or change the runtime command, leaving them unable to start. The configuration projection should be corrected before merge.

Explanation

The changes satisfy the config.json fallback and unknown-ID error requirements in [#246]. They address paste behavior from [#244], but the provided changes do not show implementation of the authentication-method dropdown, typed API-key and key-file input handling, or API-key persistence through the secret-management and environment mechanisms.

Resolution

Implement and test the [#244] authentication-method dropdown, editable API-key and key-file fields, typed input handling, and save logic that stores API keys through SecretsManager and persists the required environment metadata. Add coverage for these behaviors and can_save validation before merging.

Preserve persisted MCP invocation metadata.

draft_parts_from_persisted_config emits only the package identifier for stdio entries. It drops McpConfig::package_args and the values in McpConfig::config["package_args"]. Saving the draft then writes package_args: vec![] and config: serde_json::Value::Null, so editing an entry can remove its required invocation arguments. Carry both fields through the draft and save them. Also derive the command from package_type; a Docker entry without runtime_hint must use "docker", not "npx".

Reject modified Command+V in routes_platform_shortcut.

When modifiers.platform is set, the predicate returns true before checking modifiers.shift or modifiers.alt. Cmd+Shift+V and Cmd+Alt+V can therefore reach the "v" paste handler. Add V-specific Shift/Alt filtering on the platform path and test both combinations.
