Independent deployments will determine whether Henka provides reliable, semantics-preserving code refactoring through MCP with practical isolation and operability for multiple tenants.

What is this?
Henka is presented by its repository README as a multi-tenant MCP server that exposes structured, semantics-aware code refactoring capabilities to AI agents. The supplied results establish that multi-tenant MCP deployments raise isolation, authentication, security, and operational concerns, but they provide no independent testing of Henka’s semantic preservation, reliability, or tenant isolation. The roles of Martin T. and hashhar are not established by the supplied snippets, so attribution beyond the repository artifact remains unclear.
Why it matters to Scott
The radar already tracks essentially the same structured-editing validation question in `radar:patchloom-structured-agent-edits`, while Scott’s Surgery Problem and verification-loop canon already establish why claimed semantics-preserving edits require external behavioural checks. Henka adds a multi-tenant MCP variant relevant to Scott’s containment architecture, but without independent results or an established consequential actor it is currently another unverified example rather than evidence that would change what he builds or argues.

No independent deployment, semantic-preservation testing, or tenant-isolation evidence has appeared; Henka remains an unvalidated instance of an already tracked structured-editing pattern. With no activity or expected confirming event, the episode has faded rather than matured.
