swaitsandClaude Fable 5.1 bd6448532e feat(host): the lease and MCP channels as named pipes with the SID check, and the host, bridge and commands on Windows (P11c)
Windows steps 3 of D-62. Every `cfg(unix)` gate on the host, the bridge,
the opener, the books server and the command line is gone: they build on
every OS, and the Unix behaviour is unchanged (the existing over-the-wire
suites pass on Linux).

`ledger_mcp::ipc` is the one seam for the channels. Unix: the same 0600
sockets as before, peer uid unchanged (the peer functions moved here).
Windows: a named pipe `\\.\pipe\wanderbooks-<hash of the root's run/>-<name>`
made with a DACL of one allow entry for this account's SID, remote
clients refused, the first instance made once (a second server is
refused, as a held lock refuses it on Unix), and 16 idle instances kept
waiting so a client never finds all busy while the server makes the next.
Where Unix reads `SO_PEERCRED`, each end of a pipe takes the other's
process id (`GetNamedPipeClientProcessId`/`...ServerProcessId`) and
compares that process's token user with its own SID; any doubt is "not
us". Clients open with SECURITY_IDENTIFICATION so a pipe server cannot
act as the client. A blocking client with a read limit is polled with
PeekNamedPipe (a pipe read cannot be cut short), and a pipe that has
gone reads as the end of the stream, as a closed socket does. Stop
signals are Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Break, console close and shutdown where Unix has
SIGTERM, SIGINT and SIGHUP.

The host starts detached (DETACHED_PROCESS | CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP,
leaving the opener's job when the job lets it: an agent's job must not
take the host down, as an app's systemd scope must not on Linux) with a
fixed environment; `close_range` and `seccomp` stay Linux-only (D-32). A
replaced program is told by size and last write. Git for Windows is found
and a quiet git is stopped with its tree (`taskkill /T`). The test
harness of ledger-cli finds its root by `default_root`, cleans a child's
environment per OS and reaches the server over its pipe; the bridge's
scripted-server tests stay Unix-only.

No new dependency (tokio's named pipes and reqwest's `windows_named_pipe`
were already in the build); `windows-sys` stays in ledger-store.

Tests: ledger-mcp `ipc::tests` (four on every OS, one Windows only),
ledger-host `tests/windows_pipe.rs::a_second_user_cannot_open_the_pipe`,
Windows variants of the host and start tests.

swaitsandClaude Opus 5.5 7741e96eb3 refactor!: one way to serve books: the stdio server is gone (D-44)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
The owner (2026-10-23): "We should probably just delete the stdio path
altogether. THere's no point in that. And it sitting there unused will
just lead to bitrot. Nuke it?"

Books are served only by the books server (`wanderbooks server`),
reached by agents through the bridge (`wanderbooks mcp --book ID`),
which stays.

Removed: `wanderbooks dev-stdio`, the `ledger-mcp` binary, and
`ledger_mcp::run` (stdio and `--http` over a bare data dir), with all
that only that mode had:
- files the books make coming back inline: `HandedFile.content_base64`
  is gone, and `download` and `expires_at` are always there;
- books with no access log or backups: `books.access_log`,
  `books.backup` and `books.back_up_now` are always offered, by scope;
- the settings file read and reloaded (`legacy_files`), the vault key
  named by a file or `--vault-key-file`, and the books dir's
  key-inside-the-books and git checks (with `paths.rs`);
- `wire.rs` (the bridge frames an agent's lines itself);
- `books.settings`' file fields and `books.start`'s `settings_source`.

`BooksServer` is built one way, from `Served` (a book as the books
server serves it), in production and in the unit tests. An unknown tool
is now a protocol error (mcp-tools.md). Inline file input is unchanged.

Then the owner's three decisions (2026-10-23, the question tool):
(a) `books.import_settings` is removed entirely (118 tools): old books
come in whole by `wanderbooks books adopt`, which reads their settings
file once; ledger-config keeps its settings-file parsing only as far as
adoption uses it (`load` and the path-reading `effective_receipt_policy`
are gone), and `books.chart_template` gives its settings as
`books.set_setting` changes. (b) The viewer's loose-books-folder mode is
removed (`--data-dir`, `--books-toml`, `--vault-key-file`, the settings
file and config.json followed): it opens only books of the data root,
reading settings from the journal and the vault from the book's own
`vault/` and `keys/`. (c) `wanderbooks dev-stdio` has no stub: it is an
unknown command like any other word. Also: an upload's expiry past the
calendar is an error, never an empty string.

Tests: every suite that drove the stdio server moved to
crates/ledger-cli/tests/ and drives a real `wanderbooks server` on a
data root of its own (tests/common), handed files by their download;
mcp_stdio.rs is mcp_journeys.rs. Tests of what is gone are deleted and
listed in docs/testing.md. Docs: plan D-44 (D-18 superseded), STATUS,
testing, rules, mcp-interface, the handbook, README; justfile recipes.
