Part F is restructured around rules that now apply to every agent:

- F1: every agent gets its own VM, for inter-agent isolation and
  per-agent credential attribution
- F2: a declared, per-instance default-deny egress allowlist that
  covers MCP servers' reach, with the tailnet's 100.64.0.0/10 called
  out
- F3: MCP servers per agent VM and per (service, site, privilege),
  plus the rejected routed-meta-tools alternative
- F4: the existing image pipeline, with third-party MCP images
  digest-pinned and excluded from Watchtower

Consequences land where they belong: site identifiers in Part 0, a
machine account per MCP server instance in A7, B3 and C5 recast as
instances of F1/F2, plan approval required for every write in C2, MCP
as the primary infrastructure path in C3, the network-gear browser
item narrowed to fallback access, and stateful-server relocation
parked in Part H.

The standalone amendment is removed now that its content lives here,
as with the Tiered Inference amendment; it remains in the previous
commit.

dongarandClaude Opus 5.5 31bef59151 Add the MCP deployment amendment
Records a design session on MCP server deployment as a standalone
amendment, ahead of folding it into the spec:

- Every agent gets its own VM, justified by inter-agent isolation and
  per-agent credential attribution; Docker-in-Docker stays as an extra
  Dev Agent reason rather than the rule's foundation
- Egress is a declared, per-agent-instance default-deny allowlist,
  covering what MCP servers reach on the agent's behalf, with the
  tailnet's 100.64.0.0/10 called out as outside RFC1918
- MCP servers run per agent VM, one instance per (service, site,
  privilege), with site in the server identity rather than a tool
  argument
- Third-party MCP images are digest-pinned and excluded from Watchtower
- Routed meta-tools rejected; stateful-server relocation parked

Two consequences settled with the operator while drafting: each MCP
server instance gets its own Vaultwarden machine account (A7), and any
write, reversible or not, requires an approved plan (C2).
