Summary

• sync the HOPE-owned MCP core and holistic protocol tests from HOPE.jl commit dc4d1fc
• expose reconnect-safe holistic run status plus coordinator/executor/auditor study tools through PowerMCP
• document the durable annual-GTEP/monthly-PCM validation workflow and source provenance

Verification

• managed sync check: passed
• uv run python -m unittest discover -s tests -v: 45 passed, 3 opt-in solver tests skipped
• uv run --with pytest pytest tests -q -rs: 45 passed, 3 opt-in solver tests skipped
• the solver-backed annual GTEP / July PCM workflow was previously validated in HOPE.jl PR feat: integrate powerio as the cross-server case exchange substrate #28 and accepted by all 19 audit checks

Thanks, the coordinator/executor/auditor study workflow is a good addition, and all the holistic-run fixes from #135 are here too. Two things need fixing before this can merge:

1. The powermcp config hook is gone again. This branch was cut from main before #135 landed, so it doesn't have powermcp_adapter.py, and the synced core.py drops main's _hope_setting(). Suppose hope.repo_root, hope.julia_bin and hope.julia_depot_path are set through powermcp config and the environment variables aren't. Then this branch resolves repo_root to the package's parent directory, runs julia from PATH, and sets no depot. That is the regression #135 fixed.

   I'm merging #135 first, so please rebase onto main after that. Six HOPE files will conflict. One resolution works: take this branch's copies of the synced files and keep the apply_powermcp_hope_config() call in server.py. I tried it locally, and the config paths were honoured again.

2. test_registered_validation_profile_materializes_pinned_cases fails on macOS. The study manifest stores resolved paths, but the test compares them against self.studies, which is built from an unresolved TemporaryDirectory(). On macOS /var is a symlink to /private/var, so is_relative_to returns false. CI runs on Linux and doesn't catch it. Setting self.root = Path(self.temporary.name).resolve() in setUp fixes it, and with that change the HOPE suite passes on macOS. The test is synced from HOPE.jl, so the fix belongs upstream.
