design/tokens.jsononmain.label_updatedevents for label routing #63Designer dispatch: run aborted — Penpot MCP unavailable
The
designeragent was dispatched correctly for thisarea:designticket (smoke #56 verified at the routing layer), but the Penpot MCP server is not registered in this container's MCP set, so no Penpot artifacts could be produced.What the container actually exposes
Listing MCP resources from inside the agent shell returns only Excalidraw + the claude.ai proxies:
There is no
mcp__penpot__*namespace — socreate_file,create_page,create_frame,create_text,export_frame_png, etc. are not callable. The patchedpenpot-mcp-serverbuild described inCLAUDE.md(§ Penpot MCP auth) is not wired into thedesignercontainer image that just ran.This is not a
login-disabled/ 401 runtime failure from Penpot itself (the failure mode the skill is primed for) — it's one level earlier: the MCP server is absent from the container's mcpServers config entirely. Surfacing per skill instructions rather than silently retrying or substituting Excalidraw.What to check on the host

Decisions / deviations

designercontainer has the patched Penpot MCP registered. Happy to retry as-is.designer+design-reviewercontainers #64🚧 Designer agent — blocked
The
designeragent picked up this ticket but cannot fulfill the AC. Two blockers:1. Penpot MCP auth failure
Every MCP call (
get_file_info,get_design_tokens) returns an empty response body:Per CLAUDE.md: "If an MCP call returns login-disabled or a 401, the container env is wrong — surface it rather than silently retry."
Likely cause: the pre-seeded OIDC session cookie (
PENPOT_AUTH_TOKEN_COOKIE) has expired or the Authelia basic-auth credentials (AUTHELIA_BASIC_AUTH) are stale. The OIDC-only Penpot instance rejects the request and returns an empty/non-JSON response.Fix: refresh the secrets in
~/.config/claude-hooks/and re-runscripts/smoke-creds.sh designer.2. Penpot MCP tool gap — no visual-element creation
The available Penpot MCP tools are token-management only:
get_file_info,get_design_tokens(read)create/update/delete_color_token,create_dimension_token,create_typography_token(token CRUD)create_theme,set_active_theme,import_tokens_dtcg(theme management)Missing tools needed for this AC:
#1A1B26)HELLO, Fira Code 40px bold,#C0CAF5, centered)The #55 handoff (referenced as shape guide) was produced in an interactive
claude-desktopsession where the operator drove the Penpot UI directly. The automateddesigneragent cannot replicate that workflow with the current MCP toolset.What's needed to unblock
penpot-mcp-serverwith shape/frame/page/file creation tools (or use a different MCP that supports them)Once both are resolved, re-dispatching this ticket should succeed.
🚧 Designer re-dispatch — still blocked (same root cause as #issuecomment-5430)
Third run on this ticket. The container situation hasn't changed, so rather than repeat the prior two diagnostics, here's what's new on this attempt and what I verified.
Tool surface on this run
The
mcp__penpot__*namespace is registered in this container — that's a change from #issuecomment-5371, where it was absent entirely. But the registered tools are the token-management subset only:No
create_file,create_page,create_frame,create_text,export_frame_png, or any other shape/layout primitive. So the AC (pagesmoke-hello+ 800×600 frame + centredHELLOtext) remains uncallable from this container — exactly the gap #issuecomment-5430 called out in its table row 2.Auth was not exercised this run: every token tool requires a
file_id, no Penpot file UUID is tracked in the repo (I grepped for UUID patterns inconfig/,design/, and prior issue comments; none), and there's nocreate_filetool to make one. So "is the Authelia cookie fresh" is still untested — will be testable the moment a file exists.New datapoint for the re-run
design/tokens.jsononmainis the canonical token source the spec points at, and it already encodes every hex the AC requires. Once a file exists (operator-created, or via a futurecreate_fileMCP tool), one call toimport_tokens_dtcgloads the whole palette in a singleupdate-file— no per-token orchestration needed.From
design/tokens.json→theme-dark:The "3 token hex values" line in the AC vs. the 2-item checklist ambiguity flagged in #issuecomment-5371 resolves naturally once you read
theme-dark.color.accent = #7AA2F7— Tokyo Night blue, semantically the accent. Still flagging as a judgment call rather than silently picking it.Acceptance criteria status
smoke-hellocreate_pagetoolhello-frame, fill#1A1B26create_frametoolHELLOtext, Fira Code 40px bold, fill#C0CAF5create_texttoolDecisions / deviations
#7AA2F7, sourced fromtheme-dark.color.accentindesign/tokens.json. Calling this out because the AC header says "3 token hex values" but only two appear in the checklist — this is the nearest-neighbour inference, not an invention.What would unblock the next dispatch
penpot-mcp-serverwith at leastcreate_file,create_page,create_frame,create_text(and ideallyexport_frame_pngfor the sanity-check step in the skill). These are the missing primitives; auth is already wired.mcp__penpot__*namespace/tool-surface assertion toscripts/smoke-creds.sh designer— per the prior comment's suggestion — so this regression trips there next time instead of inside a real ticket.Happy to retry as-is once (1) lands.
🚧 Designer re-dispatch (run #4) — still blocked, same root cause
No change in the container since #issuecomment-5437. Keeping this short — the prior comment has the full analysis; this one just confirms the state so the operator knows a 4th dispatch didn't silently retry against different conditions.
Verified on this run
mcp__penpot__*namespace: registered, token-management tools only. Shape primitives (create_file,create_page,create_frame,create_text,export_frame_png) still absent. Same 10 tools as last run.design/tokens.json: present on branch,theme-darkhexes confirmed — the AC hexes all resolve directly from the DTCG source, soimport_tokens_dtcgwould load them in one call once a file exists.Token hexes (for the record)

claude-hooks — dashboardfile instead of creating a fresh file for this ticket. Skill rule says one Penpot file per ticket, and the AC's "the Penpot file deleted after verification" line implies a standalone file. The currentmcp__penpot__*tool surface has nocreate_fileprimitive — page creation requires an existingfile_id. Picked the canonical claude-hooks design file (the one #55 used) so the page lives next to its sibling specs and is easy to find/delete. Cleanup = deleting thesmoke-hellopage rather than a whole file.export_frame_pngtool is exposed in this container's MCP surface — same gap as the prior runs flagged for shape primitives, just one tool further out. Confirmed the writes landed viaget_file_info(revnbump) instead. Recommend filing the export tool as a follow-up so the design-reviewer handoff can include reference PNGs without an interactive Penpot session.#7AA2F7(accent). The AC's checklist names two hex tokens (frame fill + text fill) but the AC body asks for "the 3 token hex values used". Following the inference from #issuecomment-5437:theme-dark.color.accentis the nearest-neighbour third token in the dark palette.

smoke-hello/ frame:hello-frame/HELLOtext boxVertical centering uses a manual offset:
y = 275, text-box height = 50 px → mathematical centre at y = 300 = frame midpoint (600 / 2). The arithmetic is correct.However, Fira Code's nominal line-box at 40 px is approximately 48–54 px depending on platform line-gap metrics. With
grows_type: fixedand a 50 px bounding box, there is ≤ 2 px margin before the descender region is clipped by the container. Whether Penpot distributes the surplus as top/bottom padding or crops it silently affects whether the glyph sits visually centred.Fix: either (a) increase text-box height to 60 px and adjust
yto 270 ((600 − 60) / 2 = 270) to give 10 px of metric headroom, or (b) use Penpot's built-in Align → Vertical centre on the text shape relative to the frame rather than a calculated y-offset, which sidesteps the font-metrics dependency entirely.For a smoke test the 1–2 px drift is acceptable; flag for any production frame.
