* fix(mcp): skip an unreachable MCP server at startup instead of aborting
RegisterTools connected to every server eagerly and failed the whole batch if any
server could not be reached or list its tools — and the caller aborts startup with
exit 1 on that error. So a single unreachable MCP server prevented zero from
launching at all and disabled every other (working) server.
Make registration best-effort across servers but still atomic within a server:
each server's tools are validated as a unit before anything commits, and a server
that cannot be connected, returns a nameless tool, or conflicts is SKIPPED —
recorded on Runtime.Skipped(), not fatal. The caller surfaces each skip as a
warning and keeps launching. The "no dead tools" and no-partial-tool-set
guarantees are preserved.
* feat(mcp): ship keyless Firecrawl as a default web search/scrape server
Seed an enabled-by-default Firecrawl MCP server (keyless: 1,000 free credits/month,
no API key, no setup) into ResolveMCP before user/project config is merged, so web
search and scraping work out of the box for open-source users. A user can override
any field (self-hosted URL, bring-your-own-key header) or disable it entirely;
`zero mcp disable firecrawl` writes the override even though the default lives in
code rather than the config file.
The built-in web_fetch tool stays the always-local floor. Firecrawl is AGPL-3.0,
but zero only calls it over the network, so the license never reaches zero's own
code. README documents disable / self-host / bring-your-own-key / the privacy note
that keyless routes through firecrawl.dev.
Depends on the resilient-startup change: on an offline machine the default is
skipped with a warning, not fatal.
* perf(mcp): connect MCP servers concurrently with a per-server startup timeout
RegisterTools connected servers serially with a 30s handshake timeout, so startup
waited for the SUM of all servers and one slow/unreachable server (e.g. a hosted
endpoint blocked by the local network) blocked every other server AND the first
model response — often 10-30s of dead time per launch.
Connect all servers CONCURRENTLY, each bounded by a per-server ConnectTimeout
(default 8s). A server that doesn't connect+list in time is abandoned (its context
cancelled to tear down the half-open connection/subprocess) and skipped, so total
startup cost is now the slowest REACHABLE server, not the sum. The concurrent
phase does only connect+list (no shared state); validation, conflict detection,
and registration stay in a deterministic serial phase, so the outcome is identical
regardless of completion order. A kept server's context is released at Close — a
stdio subprocess is tied to its context, so it must outlive the connect.
Pairs with the resilient skip-on-failure behavior already in this branch.
