Step Name Alignment Issues

Found in: .github/workflows/shared/mcp-debug.md (compiled into consuming .lock.yml files)

Summary

A single step name uses lowercase server where the project glossary defines MCP Server as a Title Case term. This is the last remaining instance of the casing inconsistency that was previously corrected for the MemPalace and Drain3 MCP Server components.

Issues Identified

1. [Medium Priority] Casing: "Start MCP server" → "Start MCP Server"

Current step name:

  • .github/workflows/shared/mcp-debug.md:142: Start MCP server

Issue:
The glossary defines MCP Server as a Title Case term. This step starts a genuine MCP Server (it runs ./gh-aw mcp-server --cmd ./gh-aw --port 8765), so the glossary casing rule applies. The lowercase server is inconsistent with sibling components that were already aligned:

Suggested improvement:

  • Start MCP serverStart MCP Server

Glossary reference: See MCP Server
Precedent: #35396 (MemPalace casing alignment, completed)

Note: prose inside the step's run: script (# Wait a moment for server to start, MCP server failed to start) is body text, not a step name, and is intentionally left out of scope.

Agentic Task Description

  1. Review the context — confirm line 142 of shared/mcp-debug.md is the Start MCP server step that launches gh-aw mcp-server.
  2. Apply the change — update the step name to Start MCP Server in the source .md file (not the .lock.yml).
  3. Verify glossary alignment — Title Case MCP Server per the glossary.
  4. Recompile — run gh aw compile so the regenerated .lock.yml files pick up the new step name.
  5. Test — ensure consuming workflows still function.

Priority

This issue is Medium Priority — a cosmetic but glossary-defined consistency fix that completes the MCP Server casing alignment started in #35396.
