Use compact MCP input advertisements by default while preserving explicit full, canonical validation, output contracts and complete Evidence. Require an explicit selected catalog for runtime identity and honor both profiles in CLI status.
Real ripgrep/Zellij SDK tasks, independent ELF oracle, actual client trials, profile parity workflows and CI are recorded in experiments/analysis-efficiency/mcp-input-catalog.md. SDK token estimates improve; actual Codex token savings and general latency/memory gains are not established.

BREAKING CHANGE: MCP input advertisements default to compact. Set REA_MCP_INPUT_SCHEMA_PROFILE=full for complete advertised guidance and nested constraints.
Expose exact-path, selected-property, paged reads of retained JavaScript application facts through the shared CLI/MCP analysis view. Preserve original identities, complete row Evidence and partial coverage; retain reproducible real-Joplin and actual-agent measurements, including negative cost results.
Fixes#4190. Part of #4027. Code mode remains deferred by #4091.
Integrate main after #4274. Validation: 114 distinct focused cases across documented invocations, 106 Python cases, full static/docs checks and 18 version-labelled real-application workflows with 9 complete CLI/MCP view parity controls. Preserve two local fixture deadline failures and the unchanged test passing on an available single CPU. Final-head CI passed all 36 jobs after one Windows timeout retry without source changes; both exact-head automated reviews are clear and all review threads resolved. Downloadable apps and raw large Evidence/transcripts are excluded.
