The Researcher role wrote 40 literal `^[...]` and zero real footnotes: its
incremental write path (insertNode/editPageText) doesn't parse markdown, and
the footnote-capable tool was MCP-only. Promote three tools from inline
MCP-only to the shared registry so the in-app agent gets them too.
- tool-specs.ts: insertFootnote/insertImage/replaceImage added to
SHARED_TOOL_SPECS (mcpName/schema/description moved VERBATIM from the inline
registrations — MCP names + behaviour unchanged for external clients).
- index.ts: the 3 inline registerTool calls become registerShared; drop the
"MCP-only by design" comments.
- ai-chat-tools.service.ts: register the 3 in-app via sharedTool ->
client.insertFootnote/insertImage/replaceImage (imageUrl->url,
attachmentId->oldAttachmentId mapping).
- tool-tiers.ts: insertFootnote -> core (else the original asymmetry recurs —
footnote tool hidden while editPageText is core); images -> deferred.
- research/{en,ru}.yaml FOOTNOTES: `^[...]` parses ONLY on a whole-markdown
write (create/update/import); for a pinpoint citation to existing text use
insertFootnote; via editPageText/insertNode it stays literal.
- json-edit.ts guardrail: an edit_page_text `replace` containing a `^[...]`
token is refused into failed[] with an insert_footnote hint, mirroring the
existing formatting-marker refusal. (Slightly broader net than that mirror —
a literal `^[a-z]` regex class in a replace is also refused; accepted
defense-in-depth, has a no-false-positive test.)

edit_page_text reported "success" when asked to change formatting (e.g. remove
strikethrough): the markdown-strip fallback matched the bare text, the replace
preserved marks, and the tool returned success — so the agent believed it had
fixed something that never changed.
Two fixes, both in the shared @docmost/mcp DocmostClient so they reach BOTH the
standalone MCP server and the in-app AI chat (which loads @docmost/mcp):
- Verifiable result for every content mutator: mutatePageContent now computes a
`verify` change-report (text inserted/deleted, blocks changed, per-mark-type
delta, integrity/structure delta) via summarizeChange() and returns it on all
mutators (incl. replaceImage via mutateLiveContentUnlocked). diffDocs is
text-only, so the mark/structure delta is what surfaces formatting changes.
- edit_page_text hard-refuses formatting edits: applyTextEdits rejects an edit
whose find/replace differ only in markdown markers (via stripBalancedWrappers,
which strips balanced wrappers/links without trimming whitespace/emoji, so
plain-text edits like trailing-space trims, snake_case, math are NOT refused).
A fully-refused batch errors instead of silently succeeding.
Also updated the model-facing edit_page_text descriptions in BOTH tool layers
(packages/mcp/src/index.ts and ai-chat-tools.service.ts) to drop the misleading
"strip-and-retry tolerated" wording and point formatting changes to patch_node.
New unit tests: test/unit/diff-verify.test.mjs, test/unit/json-edit-refuse.test.mjs.
