docs(install): correct what --target zed actually does - #1206
Merged
Conversation
The Zed section promised that 'egc install --target zed' registers egc-guardian and egc-memory into Zed's context_servers. It does not: scripts/lib/install-targets/zed-home.js is a flat skill-plan adapter, and MCP registration happens only in egc init and the shell installers. Someone following that section would end up with skills installed and no MCP servers, with nothing saying so. Signed-off-by: Felipe Marzochi <fmarzochi@gmail.com>

The spec described MCP registration as part of the Tier 1 install pipeline and, per target, as something the claude, zed and continue targets do. None of them do: every '--target <tool>' installs skills and rules only, and MCP registration belongs to 'egc init' and the shell installers. This is the same false claim #1206 corrected in the installation guide; it survived here. The runtime map row also pointed at tests/test_orchestrator.py as its validator, a file removed in #307. It is now listed among the honest gaps the spec already tracks, alongside the schema's real consumers. Signed-off-by: Felipe Marzochi <fmarzochi@gmail.com>

The false claim
docs/installation.mdtold the reader:right under
egc install --target zed. That command does no such thing.scripts/lib/install-targets/zed-home.jsis a flat skill-plan adapter (rootSegments: ['.config','zed']) and never touchescontext_servers; MCP registration lives inegc initand the shell installers.Someone following that section ends up with skills installed, no MCP servers, and nothing telling them so.
Fix
The section now says what
--targetdoes (skills and rules only), states plainly that it does not register MCP, and points at the command that does. Found while mapping registration coverage for #1197.Summary by cubic
Fixes the Zed install docs to state that
egc install --target zedonly installs skills and rules into~/.config/zed/and does not register MCP servers. Adds guidance to use the installer oregc initto registeregc-guardianandegc-memoryin Zed’scontext_servers(~/.config/zed/settings.json).Written for commit 432103b. Summary will update on new commits.
