Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Read from Warp source at the cited commit; not reproduced in this session. Other error fragments: - references secret(s) that are not available to this run: Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/warpdotdev/Warp/5af88f49f84e70025f9c19e13f6b9ae64b624627/app/src/ai/agent_sdk/driver/mcp_startup.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): apply_secrets_to_ephemeral_mcp_installations builds the "was not started: unresolved secret reference(s)" failures; MCP_SERVER_STARTUP_TIMEOUT = 20 s default and the "did not start within {}s" message. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/warpdotdev/Warp/5af88f49f84e70025f9c19e13f6b9ae64b624627/app/src/ai/agent_sdk/driver.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): AgentDriverError::MCPUnresolvedSecrets message.
