Workstream C of the next ISO rebuild.
C1 — Auto-spawn lit up out of the box:
provider.env now ships COLIBRI_AUTOSPAWN_PI="YES", so colibri#137 fires on
the booted image once a DeepSeek key is present (pulled by Join Hive, A).
C2 — External MCP registry staged:
/usr/local/etc/colibri/external-mcp.json shipped as {"servers":{}} at the
path colibri-mcp reads by default. Empty = mother off by default.
C3 — Opt-in "Enable Mother Link" (clawdie-enable-mother + desktop entry):
Direction is "our Pi calls mother's tools" — colibri-mcp dials OUT to mother
over SSH-stdio and proxies mother's tools to the Pi via its external-call
path. The toggle:
- provisions an SSH identity for the colibri service account
(/var/db/colibri/.ssh — the daemon and its Pi run as `colibri`),
- writes the mother entry into external-mcp.json (ssh -i <key> ... mother),
- upserts COLIBRI_MCP_EXTERNAL_CALL=1 into provider.env,
- restarts the daemon and prints colibri's pubkey to authorize on mother.
provider.env.sample documents the new toggles. sh -n clean on all scripts;
the empty default and the emitted mother entry validate as JSON and match the
ExternalMcpRegistry {servers:{command,args,env}} shape.
