## Answers Received

All three questions answered clearly. Proceeding with:

### Graceful Shutdown
Will update `DockerMiddleware.stop()` to use `container.stop(timeout=30)`. The current implementation already uses `stop()` not `kill()`, but I'll add explicit timeout and a fallback warning:

```python
def stop(self, name: str, timeout: int = 30) -> bool:
    container = self._get_container(name)
    try:
        container.stop(timeout=timeout)
        return True
    except Exception as e:
        logger.warning(f"Graceful stop failed, coverage may be lost: {e}")
        container.kill()
        return True
```

### Source Paths
Confirmed. The edge case about custom Python module mounts is worth documenting but not auto-detecting.

### Coverage Data Lifetime
**Decision: Always combine, then report**

Keeping parallel mode in `.coveragerc` (for flexibility) but `collect_coverage()` will:
1. Run `coverage combine` first (idempotent if already combined)
2. Then generate summary/reports

This is simpler than modifying the entrypoint and handles both single-run and multi-run scenarios.

```python
def collect_coverage(self, name: str) -> CoverageDataModel:
    coverage_dir = Path("/tmp/gr-coverage") / name

    # Combine any parallel files (idempotent if already combined)
    subprocess.run(["coverage", "combine"], cwd=coverage_dir, capture_output=True)

    # Generate summary
    result = subprocess.run(
        ["coverage", "report", "--data-file", str(coverage_dir / ".coverage")],
        capture_output=True, text=True
    )
    # ... parse and return
```

### `delete_coverage()` API
Adding as suggested:
```python
@mcp.tool()
def delete_coverage(
    name: str | None = None,
    older_than_days: int | None = None
) -> int:
    """Delete coverage data. Returns count of deleted items."""
```

## Implementation Plan

| Tool | Status |
|------|--------|
| `launch_flowgraph(..., enable_coverage=True)` | Extending existing tool |
| `collect_coverage(name)` | New |
| `generate_coverage_report(name, format)` | New |
| `combine_coverage(names)` | New |
| `delete_coverage(name?, older_than_days?)` | New |

**New Models:**
- `CoverageDataModel` — summary data, paths, percentages
- `CoverageReportModel` — report path and format

**Files to modify:**
- `models.py` — add coverage models
- `middlewares/docker.py` — add timeout parameter, coverage image selection
- `providers/runtime.py` — add coverage methods
- `providers/mcp_runtime.py` — register coverage tools

Starting implementation now.

**ETA for next message:** After implementation complete with tests passing.
