feat(cli): --no-builtin-tools / -nbt flag (#23)#244
Merged
Conversation
Adds a global flag that disables the built-in tool registry while keeping MCP server tools and extension tools (when extension framework lands). Useful for sandbox testing or strict-policy setups where the user wants a fully user-provided tool surface. Wiring: - src/cli/args.rs: --no-builtin-tools (alias -nbt) global flag. - src/cli/startup.rs: translate to JCODE_NO_BUILTIN_TOOLS=1. - src/tool/mod.rs::Registry::new: when env var truthy, skip both base_tools and the per-session subagent/batch/conversation_search tools. When active, jcode logs: JCODE_NO_BUILTIN_TOOLS=1 — skipping built-in tool registry (MCP + extension tools still load) so users can confirm the gate took effect. 2 new tests: - test_no_builtin_tools_env_disables_registry: env=1 produces empty registry - test_default_registry_has_builtin_tools: negative control Closes #23.
