Walkthrough

Three new fields—defaultBranch, isFork, and isArchived—are added to repository response schemas across both MCP and web packages. Changes include schema definitions, type assertions in API endpoints, and CHANGELOG documentation updates.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Changelog Documentation CHANGELOG.md, packages/mcp/CHANGELOG.md	Added entries documenting the three new repository fields in the public API responses and MCP list_repos tool.
MCP Package Schemas packages/mcp/src/schemas.ts, packages/mcp/src/index.ts	Extended repositoryQuerySchema with three new fields (defaultBranch, isFork, isArchived) and updated the list_repos tool output to include these fields in the repository response.
Web Package Schema Definition packages/web/src/lib/schemas.ts	Added three new fields to repositoryQuerySchema: defaultBranch (optional string), isFork (boolean), and isArchived (boolean).
Web Package API Endpoints packages/web/src/actions.ts, packages/web/src/app/api/.../listReposApi.ts	Replaced runtime schema validation with direct object construction and type assertions (satisfies RepositoryQuery). Updated imports to use RepositoryQuery type instead of repositoryQuerySchema. Added the three new fields to returned repository objects sourced from underlying repo data.

In `@packages/mcp/src/schemas.ts`:
- Around line 159-160: The schema makes isFork and isArchived required which
breaks parsing responses from older servers; update the listReposResponseSchema
entries for isFork and isArchived (in packages/mcp/src/schemas.ts) to use
z.boolean().default(false) so missing keys gracefully default to false when
parsed by the MCP client (used by client.ts when calling list repos).
