Bootstrap the fork through run.py, build Docker from source, and prepare standalone with a checksum-pinned native runtime plus the MCP backend and Python dependencies. Preserve existing installations and data, propagate Docker build failures, and update README/setup guides. Validation: 347 unit tests and a real standalone-rootfs MCP smoke test passed in Docker.
Expose 28 tools with shared REST operations, role-scoped bearer authentication, revisions, durable retries, snapshots, jobs and timed rollback. Add Docker verification harnesses and setup/workflow documentation in docs/mcp.md and inst.md. Validated with 330 unit tests, two consecutive 25-case MCP/import runs, and restart recovery; the full upstream regression run remains incomplete.
