Smoke test run 21112904973 failed on serena Go test with
go: command not found. Root cause: serena MCP server was hardcoded to--context codexregardless of engine, causing wrong runtime environment.Changes
Core fix:
pkg/workflow/mcp-config-serena.go: AddedengineIDparameter torenderSerenaMCPConfigWithOptions(), uses engine-specific context with fallback to "codex"pkg/workflow/mcp_renderer.go: AddedEngineIDfield toMCPRendererOptions, passes engine ID to serena rendererEngine renderers:
claude_mcp.go,codex_mcp.go,copilot_mcp.goto passe.idwhen creating rendererTests:
"codex"as engine ID parameterResult
Workflows now use correct serena context:
--context copilot--context claude--context codexNote: GitHub MCP test failure in same run is unrelated (Copilot agent not providing required tool parameters - requires Copilot CLI team investigation).
