Omit verdict from the initial _asdict() payload.
report._asdict() already inserts verdict, so each conditional assignment still leaves "verdict": null when no verdict exists.

Roll back the signature transaction by ID.
undo_last() always targets the newest transaction. Use undo_transaction(self.repo_root, report.transaction_id) instead. Handle TransactionConflict and a false TransactionOutcome.applied before setting applied=False. If rollback is refused, the signature edit remains applied and the report must not claim that it was reverted.

_reingest_for_contract() calls _updater_for_reingest(), but MCPToolsRegistry no longer defines that method. The new change-signature path supplies this callback for indexed projects, including dry runs, so those requests fail with AttributeError before the requested signature operation runs.

The edit is committed before measure() invokes graph re-ingestion, but exceptions from that callback are not handled. If re-ingestion fails, the signature change remains on disk while API, CLI, and MCP callers receive an exception or generic failure instead of a SignatureReport explaining that the edit landed and graph synchronization may be incomplete.

On a failed contract check, undo_last() reverses the newest repository transaction instead of the signature transaction identified by report.transaction_id. Another edit can commit after the signature transaction and before this rollback, causing this code to undo that unrelated edit, leave the signature change applied, and report that it was not applied.

Two defects the rebase surfaced, both from the branch being written against a much older `mcp/tools.py`. `_reingest_for_contract` called `_updater_for_reingest`, which no longer exists, and passed the re-ingest callback RAW. Main replaced that with `_guarded_rename_reingest`, which wraps the callback in the incomplete-run marker: mark before the first write, clear after, refuse rather than start if the marker cannot be written. Passing it raw is the failure Greptile caught on PR #1547 -- a process death part way through leaves a partial graph a restarted server reads as complete. Now delegates to it. `change_signature` was a graph reader that never refused on a partial graph. `_NOT_GRAPH_READERS` is deliberately fail-closed (PR #1547): a new tool counts as a reader until classified, and `test_every_graph_reader_is_guarded` fails until it is guarded or listed. It is an EDIT, like RENAME which sits in that set already -- it runs its own re-ingest behind the marker and holds the result to the postcondition contract, so refusing up front on a partial graph would block the operation that repairs it. Verified: 343 passed across test_mcp_project_scoping, test_rename_op, test_edit_contract and test_change_signature. Deleting the classification line reddens test_every_graph_reader_is_guarded naming change_signature.
…type fetch_all as QueryFn `_reingest_for_contract` still called `_updater_for_reingest`, which the base deleted under #1783, so every call raised AttributeError and ty reported it unresolved. It now delegates to `_guarded_rename_reingest`, as the owner's e5e9f1c does on the source branch: that helper returns None for an unindexed project and wraps the callback in the incomplete-run marker. `change_signature` annotated `fetch_all` with a hand-written Callable that matched neither `MemgraphIngestor.fetch_all` nor `SignaturePlanner`, which takes `QueryFn`. That gave three invalid-argument-type errors, and `QueryFn` clears all three.

The red here is fixed at 04d6eee:
Locally 461 tests pass across the MCP, contract, rename and CLI suites. pr-7 to pr-10 are rebased onto it with --force-with-lease and pass their change-signature tests (19 and 6). #2108 is closed as superseded. |

Propagate an incomplete-marker clear failure.
The callback's success path at line 2739 calls self._require_marker_cleared(project_name) and discards its return value. The method returns None on success or an error message string on failure. When clearing fails, the error is silently discarded and the callback returns a normal ReingestReport, allowing the signature operation to report success while the project remains marked incomplete. Later graph reads and edits then refuse with an incomplete-marker error.
Check the return value and raise before returning the report.
