Matt Van Horn a1afbce84c feat(mcp): embed Python engine and extract to user cache
U2 of the Claude Desktop .mcpb bundle plan.

- internal/engine/embed.go embeds the vendored Python tree at build time
  via //go:embed all:vendored. The engine package owns the embed because
  Go's directive cannot reach outside its own package directory; sync and
  gitignore paths are updated to match (internal/engine/vendored/ in
  place of mcp/vendored/).
- internal/engine/extract.go materializes the embed into
  <cache>/last30days-pp-mcp/<version>/ with a .version sentinel that
  short-circuits re-extraction. Atomic rename from a .tmp sibling means
  a partial extraction can never be mistaken for complete. Concurrent
  first-call extractions serialize behind a per-cache-dir sync.Once.
- EnsureUserCache honors a LAST30DAYS_CACHE_DIR env override for
  locked-down filesystems; the override is named in extract errors.
- internal/engine/extract_test.go covers happy path, sentinel skip,
  version bump, 10-goroutine race, empty-version rejection, unwritable
  cache parent, and the env override (7 tests, all passing).
- A tracked vendored/.gitkeep anchors the embed path so the directive
  matches even before scripts/sync-engine.sh runs.

# last30days-pp-mcp
Go MCP server that wraps the last30days Python engine for Claude Desktop. Packaged as a `.mcpb` bundle (drag-drop install into Claude Desktop).
The MCP server exposes a single `research` tool that mirrors the `/last30days <topic>` slash command available in Claude Code. At runtime the binary extracts the vendored Python engine into a per-user cache and shells out to `python3` to produce the synthesis input Claude renders.
## Architecture
- `cmd/last30days-pp-mcp/` - server entry point
- `internal/engine/` - `embed.FS` of the Python engine + cache extractor + subprocess wrapper
- `internal/tools/` - MCP tool handlers (currently `research`)
- `internal/engine/vendored/` - mirror of `skills/last30days/scripts/`, generated by `scripts/sync-engine.sh` (gitignored). Lives inside the engine package because `//go:embed` cannot reach files outside its own package directory.
- `manifest.json` - MCPB v0.3 manifest consumed by Claude Desktop and `printing-press bundle`
## Local build
```bash
# Mirror the Python engine into vendored/.
bash scripts/sync-engine.sh
# Build for the current host.
go build -ldflags "-X main.Version=dev" -o build/last30days-pp-mcp ./cmd/last30days-pp-mcp
# Package as a .mcpb (requires the printing-press binary on PATH).
printing-press bundle . --skip-build --binary build/last30days-pp-mcp
```
The output `.mcpb` lands at `build/last30days-pp-mcp-<os>-<arch>.mcpb`. Drag it into Claude Desktop's Extensions panel to install.
## Runtime requirements
End users need Python 3.12+ on PATH. The bundle ships the engine source but relies on the host interpreter.
## Versioning
The MCPB `manifest.json` version is hand-bumped in the same PR that ships engine changes worth releasing. Release CI stamps the Go binary's `main.Version` from the tag.
