Pull request overview
This PR extends several MCP tools with response-shaping controls (detail and/or fields) to reduce token usage, and adds new shared utilities to support masking and validation scoring. It also introduces “diff-mode” plumbing for validation tools (via baseline_run_id/run_id) and updates test/configuration files accordingly.
Changes:
- Add
detail(summary|standard|full) andfields(comma-separated dot-paths) support to selected MCP tools, backed by newdetailLevel+fieldMaskutilities. - Add validation scoring helpers (
validationScore.ts) and extend validation tools withdetailplus diff/baseline concepts. - Update unit tests and test/lint configs to cover the new masking behavior and adjust ignored/excluded files.

- This introduces persistent on-disk state under
~/.provardx/validationfor everyprovar_testsuite_validatecall. Writing into the user’s home directory can be problematic in restricted/CI environments and can pollute developer machines during unit tests. Consider making the storage location configurable (env var / config) and/or usingos.tmpdir()for non-persistent runs while still enabling diff mode when persistence is available.

- This tool now writes validation run state under
~/.provardx/validationon every call. Persisting in the user’s home directory can fail in locked-down environments and can leave behind files during unit tests/CI. Consider making the storage directory configurable (env var / config) and documenting the on-disk behavior, or usingos.tmpdir()when persistence isn’t required.

… primitive guard, missing tests RCA: CI failed because validationDiff.ts was imported by testCaseValidate and testSuiteValidate but existed only as an untracked file, so the module was not found on CI. Additionally Copilot flagged that maskFields leaked full primitive values when dot-paths were used, projectInspect description omitted requestId from its summary field list, and detailLevel/validationScore utilities lacked dedicated unit tests. Fix: Commit src/mcp/utils/validationDiff.ts as a tracked file; guard maskFields against leaking primitives on sub-path requests (omit the key instead); fix projectInspect summary description to list requestId; add detailLevel.test.ts and validationScore.test.ts; add detail-param and baseline_run_id tests to testSuiteValidate and testPlanValidate; restore cross-thread lint exclusions in .eslintignore with an explanatory comment (temporary until sibling PRs merge).

…ld masking tools RCA: CLAUDE.md requires docs updates for every PR that adds or modifies tool parameters; PR #167 added fields/detail to 4 tools without updating docs/mcp.md Fix: Added fields and detail input param rows for provar_project_inspect, provar_connection_list, provar_qualityhub_display, and provar_qualityhub_testcase_retrieve; updated output descriptions to note detail/fields behaviour Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
RCA: Iterative fix-validate loops emit full inventory and CLI raw output on every call, compounding token cost with no standard way for agents to request a narrower response. Fix: Add fields=<comma-dot-paths> and detail=summary|standard|full params to provar_project_inspect, provar_connection_list, provar_qualityhub_display, and provar_qualityhub_testcase_retrieve.
