marcus 036429e9bf feat: v0.6.0 — read build_stream log instead of dropping it (#2)
DSM emits a readable plaintext build log over the build_stream HTTP
body (one short status line per step) and closes the connection when
the build is done. The 0.2.5 implementation sent the request and
dropped the body unread, leaving users with nothing more than a
BUILD_FAILED polling status and no actionable diagnostic.

DsmClient.trigger_build_stream now consumes the body line-by-line and
returns the collected log as a string. Wall-clock budget of 210 s
(under the Claude Desktop ~4 min ceiling); on timeout the partial log
is returned with a "[build_stream: timeout — stream still open
server-side]" marker so callers know the build continues server-side.
Per-chunk ReadTimeout is treated the same way. JSON error envelope,
transport-error mapping (M-4), and SID-scrubbed HTTP-error formatting
are unchanged.

redeploy_project and create_project now parse the returned log via
_parse_build_stream_log (any line containing "Error response from
daemon:" or ending in " Error" counts as a failure). On a failed log
the tools abort immediately, surface the daemon line(s) in the result
(e.g. "Error response from daemon: manifest for nginx:9.9.9 not
found: manifest unknown"), and skip the polling step. The BUILD_FAILED
polling guard (M-5) stays as a second safety net for late failures
where the stream was clean but the container exited after start.

No new MCP tool: the build log is a live stream and cannot be
re-fetched after the build ends, so it is surfaced during
redeploy_project / create_project rather than exposed as a standalone
get_project_build_log call.

Minor version bump because redeploy_project and create_project return
materially different strings on a failed build and exit earlier in
the failure path. Signatures unchanged.

Tests: streamed-log collection, daemon-error log, header ReadTimeout
marker, per-chunk ReadTimeout partial log, wall-clock budget
truncation, _parse_build_stream_log unit tests, redeploy/create end-
to-end behavior with a failing log.

Closes #2

# mcp-synology-container
## Project
`mcp-synology-container` is an MCP server for managing Docker projects on a
Synology DiskStation via Container Manager. It exposes tools for projects,
containers, images, compose files, networks, and system housekeeping.
---
## Tech stack
| | |
|---|---|
| **Language** | Python 3.12+, `uv` |
| **Key deps** | MCP SDK, `httpx`, `keyring`, `click`, `rich` |
| **Compose paths** | `/volume1/docker/<project>/` (default Synology layout) |
---
## Deploy workflow (after every code change)
```
1. Claude Code commits and pushes
2. uv tool install --reinstall git+<repo-url>
3. Restart Claude Desktop (tray icon → Quit → relaunch)
```
**Push retry:** the Gitea remote (`gitea.gecheckt.de`) occasionally
returns `Unauthorized` on the first push attempt. If `git push` fails
with an auth error, wait 1 s and retry once before reporting back.
Only a second consecutive failure is treated as a real auth problem.

## DSM API quirks
- **Hash-prefixed container names** — DSM sometimes returns names like
`a1b2c3d4e5f6_myservice` when the compose service name differs from
`container_name`. All container tools strip this prefix transparently via
`_strip_hash_prefix` / `_resolve_container_name`.
- **Async project start** — `SYNO.Docker.Project/start` returns immediately
while containers are still initialising. `redeploy_project` polls
`SYNO.Docker.Project/list` every 2 s for up to 30 s after issuing start.
- **`SYNO.Docker.Project/build_stream`** — returns a streamed plaintext
build log (content-type `text/html`), one short line per step:
`Container <name> Running` on success, `<svc> Error` followed by
`Error response from daemon: <cause>` on failure. The stream closes
when the build is done. `DsmClient.trigger_build_stream` consumes the
body line-by-line with a 210 s wall-clock budget (under the Claude
Desktop ~4 min ceiling) and returns the log as a string; on timeout
the partial log is returned with a marker appended so callers know
the build is still running server-side. `redeploy_project` and
`create_project` grep the returned log for daemon errors and abort
early — these errors are much more actionable than the eventual
`BUILD_FAILED` polling status. The log is **live-only**: it cannot
be re-fetched after the build ends, which is why no standalone
`get_project_build_log` tool exists.
- **Image delete** — requires a form-encoded POST with a JSON `images` array
(confirmed via browser DevTools); uses `DsmClient.post_request()`.
- **`SYNO.Docker.Image/pull` vs. `pull_start`** — the legacy `pull` method
exists but behaviour varies by DSM version; not exposed as a standalone
tool. `pull_image` uses `SYNO.Docker.Image/pull_start` (asynchronous
pull entry point) with both `repository` and `tag` JSON-encoded. Note
that `pull_start` lives on **`SYNO.Docker.Image`**, NOT on
`SYNO.Docker.Registry` — the Registry API only exposes the synchronous
read-only methods (`search`, `tags`, `get/set/create/delete`, `using`);
calling `Registry/pull_start` returns "Method does not exist". No
matching `pull_status` method is confirmed on either API, so completion
is detected by polling `SYNO.Docker.Image/list` until `repository:tag`
appears (210 s backoff, 240 s budget). Timeout returns a "still
running" hint instead of raising — DSM keeps pulling server-side
regardless of the HTTP response.
- **`SYNO.Docker.Registry/tags`** — uses `repo` (JSON-encoded) as the
parameter name; the n4s4 reference's `name` does not work on this DSM
version. Returns the tag list as the envelope's `data` field directly,
not wrapped in a sub-key.
- **`SYNO.Docker.Volume`** — endpoint does not exist; volume management is
not available via the DSM WebAPI.
- **`SYNO.Docker.Registry/get`** — does not behave as documented; registry
listing omitted.
- **`SYNO.Docker.Container/pause` and `/unpause`** — not implemented in
DSM Container Manager on this firmware. The action menu only offers
start/stop/force-stop/restart/reset; calls to `pause`/`unpause` return
"Method does not exist". `pause_container` and `unpause_container`
were briefly shipped in 0.4.0 and removed in 0.4.1.
---
## Implementation rules
- Confirmation required before destructive operations: `stop_project`,
`redeploy_project`, `create_project`, `delete_project`,
`exec_in_container`, `update_image_tag`, `update_env_var`,
`update_compose`, `delete_container`, `stop_container`,
`restart_container`, `pull_image`
- After compose changes: suggest `redeploy_project`
- DSM errors → human-readable message, no stack traces
- No secrets in stderr output
- Type hints and docstrings everywhere
- Formatter: `ruff format` · Linter: `ruff check` · Tests: `pytest`
- All text (docstrings, comments, README): English
- **CHANGELOG.md:** every user-visible change (bug fix, new/changed
tool, behavior change, security fix, dependency bump) gets a
`CHANGELOG.md` entry in the same commit — under a `## [Unreleased]`
heading between releases, which becomes `## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD` on
version bump. Pure internal cleanup (renames without external callers,
comment-only edits, ruff autofix) needs no entry. Don't ship a release
with a stale changelog (this was the C-2 gap that caused 0.2.7 and
0.2.8 to ship undocumented).
- **Version consistency:** the package version lives in `pyproject.toml`
and must stay in sync with `uv.lock` and the `[X.Y.Z]` heading in
`CHANGELOG.md`. `src/mcp_synology_container/__init__.py` derives
`__version__` from `importlib.metadata` and is never hand-edited.
Every version bump touches all three files in the same commit.
