+## Inspector (stdio) Quick Start
+
+### 🔍 **Testing with MCP Inspector**
+
+For development and debugging, use MCP Inspector with stdio transport:
+
+1. **Build the project**:
+   ```bash
+   pnpm install && pnpm build
+   ```
+
+2. **Choose your configuration**:
+   - **Published package**: Load `examples/inspector-stdio.json`
+   - **Local development**: Load `examples/inspector-stdio-local.json`
+
+3. **Test the tools**:
+   - Verify `collect_context` and `enhance_prompt` are listed
+   - Run test scenarios from `docs/inspector-playbook.md`
+
+### 🐛 **Debug Mode**
+
+Enable detailed logging by setting `CONTEXT_DEBUG=1` in your environment:
+
+```json
+{
+  "env": {
+    "CONTEXT_DEBUG": "1",
+    "LOG_LEVEL": "debug"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This provides comprehensive trace information for debugging file collection, git integration, and performance.

+## Troubleshooting (Context Tool)
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **"No git history detected"**
+   - **Cause**: Running `changed` strategy outside git repo
+   - **Fix**: Use `strategy: "paths"` or `useGit: false`
+
+2. **"Requested path is outside workspace"**
+   - **Cause**: Path traversal attempt blocked
+   - **Fix**: Use relative paths within workspace
+
+3. **Empty file list**
+   - **Cause**: All files filtered out by patterns
+   - **Fix**: Check `include`/`exclude` patterns
+
+4. **High memory usage**
+   - **Cause**: Large files or too many files
+   - **Fix**: Reduce `maxKB`/`maxFiles` or add more specific `exclude` patterns
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+- `LOG_LEVEL`: Set to `debug` for detailed logs
+- `CONTEXT_DEBUG`: Set to `1` for comprehensive trace information
+- `TRANSPORT`: Set to `stdio` for MCP Inspector (default)
+- `ENABLE_HTTP`: Set to `false` to disable HTTP transport (default)
+
+### Performance Tips
+
+1. **Use specific paths**: Instead of `**/*`, use `src/**/*.ts`
+2. **Exclude build artifacts**: Add `dist/**`, `build/**` to exclude
+3. **Limit file types**: Use `extensions` parameter
+4. **Enable caching**: Ensure `useGit: true` for better cache keys
+
+### Security Notes
+
+- Path traversal attempts are automatically blocked
+- Binary files are skipped by default
+- File contents are never logged (only paths and sizes)
+- All operations are scoped to the workspace directory

+# Context Tool Debug Report
+
+## Summary
+
+This report documents the comprehensive improvements made to the `collect_context` tool to make it 100% production-ready with robust debugging capabilities for MCP Inspector.
+
+## Issues Found and Fixed
+
+### 1. **Missing Diagnostic Logging**
+**Issue**: No traceability or detailed debugging information
+**Fix**: 
+- Added `traceId` (UUID) for every request
+- Implemented `CONTEXT_DEBUG=1` environment flag
+- Added comprehensive logging at all stages
+- Structured logging with context information
+
+### 2. **Inadequate Git Awareness**
+**Issue**: Poor error handling for non-git scenarios
+**Fix**:
+- Clear error message for `changed` strategy without git
+- Suggestion to use `paths` strategy as fallback
+- Proper git repository detection and validation
+
+### 3. **Missing .gitignore Support**
+**Issue**: No respect for `.gitignore` files
+**Fix**:
+- Integrated `ignore` library for .gitignore parsing
+- Automatic filtering of ignored files
+- Graceful fallback when .gitignore is missing
+
+### 4. **No Binary File Detection**
+**Issue**: Binary files could be included in context
+**Fix**:
+- Comprehensive binary file extension detection
+- Automatic skipping of binary files
+- Configurable binary file handling
+
+### 5. **Security Vulnerabilities**
+**Issue**: Potential path traversal attacks
+**Fix**:
+- Path traversal guards with `normalize()` and `..` detection
+- Absolute path blocking
+- Workspace boundary enforcement
+- Security logging for blocked attempts
+
+### 6. **Insufficient Error Handling**
+**Issue**: Generic error messages, poor user experience
+**Fix**:
+- User-friendly error messages
+- Specific error types for different scenarios
+- Graceful degradation strategies
+
+### 7. **Missing Response Metadata**
+**Issue**: No performance or debugging information in responses
+**Fix**:
+- Added `meta` object with `traceId`, `strategy`, `usedGit`, `elapsedMs`
+- Truncation notes and reasons
+- Cache hit/miss information
+
+### 8. **Inadequate Testing**
+**Issue**: Limited test coverage for edge cases
+**Fix**:
+- Comprehensive unit tests for all scenarios
+- Git integration tests with temporary repositories
+- Test fixtures for predictable behavior
+- Performance and caching tests
+
+## New Features Added
+
+### 1. **Comprehensive Diagnostic Logging**

+## Recommendations for Production Use
+
+### 1. **Environment Configuration**
+```bash
+LOG_LEVEL=info
+CONTEXT_DEBUG=0  # Set to 1 only for debugging
+TRANSPORT=stdio
+ENABLE_HTTP=false
+```
+
+### 2. **Typical Usage Patterns**
+```json
+// For debugging recent changes
+{
+  "strategy": "changed",
+  "maxKB": 64,
+  "maxFiles": 50,
+  "useGit": true
+}
+
+// For specific file collection
+{
+  "strategy": "paths",
+  "paths": ["src/**/*.ts", "docs/**/*.md"],
+  "exclude": ["**/*.test.ts", "**/*.spec.ts"],
+  "maxKB": 128,
+  "maxFiles": 100
+}
+```
+
+### 3. **Monitoring and Alerting**
