Summary
The MCP language catalog can force clients to receive the full catalog, while CLI supports direct lookup, limits, cursors, and byte budgets.
Audit IDs: G-18. Reproduced with locally built cdidx v1.40.3 at 404db09489c305f17d94f37026e00564d3ac527a.
Existing issue relationship
Follow-up to closed #4730's MCP pagination work.
Expected behavior and PR scope
Expose exact language/alias/extension filters and stable bounded pagination in the MCP tool schema/result. Keep language-count semantics in its separate issue.
Implementation guide for Codex 5.6 sol xhigh
- Reuse the canonical catalog/filter logic and query-fingerprinted cursor rather than MCP-only rules.
- Add limit/cursor/max-bytes and completion metadata to input/output schemas.
- Bind cursor to filters/sort/catalog generation and return typed stale/mismatch errors.
- Cover alias/extension lookup, ambiguous extension, empty/final pages, full enumeration, Unicode, and exact byte boundaries.
- Add focused regression/contract tests, run the full net8.0 and net9.0 suite, and add the required bilingual
changelog.d/unreleased/ fragment.
Acceptance criteria
- Clients can fetch one language or enumerate the full catalog without gaps.
- Pages remain deterministic under identical filters.
- Responses stay within the advertised byte budget.
