Fixes NovelAgentService continuing a conversation under the wrong
novel's route, since FindConversationAsync matched by id alone. Then
extends NovelAgentToolset to all 45 tools the stdio MCP server offered
(tag/location CRUD, character relationships, arc-stage beat pinning,
question editing, cross-novel novel listing/creation), tagging each
with whether it needs an explicit novel scope so a later MCP adapter
can inject it. Renames the toolset's 33 existing schemas from
snake_case to camelCase to match .NET/REST convention, since nothing
external consumes them.
Lays the groundwork to serve this same registry over MCP at /mcp and
retire the separate stdio Novelly.Mcp project (docs/plans/api/mcp_http_merge_plan.md).
Replaces the warm-paper/serif look with a dark palette where the novel's
lifecycle phase drives the accent color app-wide. Sidebar nav replaces the
old header/tab-bar. Dashboard leads with quick actions (new chapter, new
character, continue writing) instead of just showing history. Agent chat
is now a context-aware slide-out panel reachable from any page in a novel,
replacing the buried /agent tab.
Introduces accounts (ASP.NET Identity + cookie auth), four global
roles (Admin/Writer/Editor/Reviewer), per-novel ownership and grants
via ProjectMember, and a service-API-key principal for the MCP server
and background import jobs. Enforcement lives in the application
services (not endpoint filters) so the embedded agent and MCP tools,
which call the same services directly, can't bypass it. Web client
gets a login page, session-aware routing, and a People section for
managing per-novel access.
Also includes prior in-flight changes from this branch (CLAUDE.md
compliance pass, dev-deploy docker-compose setup) that were
uncommitted when this feature work started.
Services now return entities; endpoints (and the agent toolsets) map to
*Response records instead of services building wire DTOs themselves.
Also brings in the outline-import agent, MCP tool, ledger and web dialog
that were already in progress on disk.
