+"""Add tool registry tables (tools, tool_resource_bindings, validation_attachments).
+
+This migration creates the three core tool registry tables needed for
+the Tool Registry Persistence layer:
+
+- ``tools``: Registered tool and validation definitions with namespaced
+  names as primary keys, JSON schema for inputs/outputs, capability
+  metadata, and source-specific fields.
+- ``tool_resource_bindings``: Declared resource bindings per tool,
+  specifying typed resource slots with binding mode and access level.
+- ``validation_attachments``: Runtime attachments linking validations to
+  resources with optional project/plan scoping and ULID primary keys.

+Feature: Tool Registry Persistence
+  As a system operator managing tools and validations
+  I want the tool registry to reliably persist, retrieve, and filter tools
+  So that the execution layer can discover and invoke tools at runtime
+
+  Background:
+    Given a clean in-memory database with the tool registry schema
+    And a tool registry repository backed by the database
+    And a validation attachment repository backed by the database
+
+  # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  # Registering tools
+  # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+  @tool_reg_create
+  Scenario: A new builtin tool is registered and retrievable
+    Given a valid tool dict named "core/read-file" with source "builtin"
+    When the tool is registered through the tool registry repository
+    Then the tool registry repository should not raise an error
+    And the persisted tool should have the registry name "core/read-file"
+
+  @tool_reg_create
+  Scenario: A custom tool with inline code is registered
+    Given a valid tool dict named "local/custom-lint" with source "custom"
+    And the tool dict includes inline code "return {'passed': True}"
+    When the tool is registered through the tool registry repository
+    Then the persisted tool should have the registry name "local/custom-lint"
+    And the persisted tool should have source "custom"
+
+  @tool_reg_create
+  Scenario: An MCP tool is registered with server fields
+    Given a valid tool dict named "mcp/github-search" with source "mcp"
+    And the tool dict includes mcp_server "github" and mcp_tool_name "search"
+    When the tool is registered through the tool registry repository
+    Then the persisted tool should have the registry name "mcp/github-search"
+
+  @tool_reg_create
+  Scenario: A validation tool is registered with mode
+    Given a valid tool dict named "core/schema-check" with source "builtin"
+    And the tool dict has tool_type "validation" and mode "required"
+    When the tool is registered through the tool registry repository
+    Then the persisted tool should have tool_type "validation"
+
+  @tool_reg_create
+  Scenario: A tool is registered with resource bindings
+    Given a valid tool dict named "core/git-commit" with source "builtin"
+    And the tool dict includes a resource binding for slot "repo"
+    When the tool is registered through the tool registry repository
+    Then the persisted tool should have 1 resource binding
+
+  @tool_reg_create @error_handling
+  Scenario: Registering a tool with a duplicate name is rejected
+    Given a valid tool dict named "core/read-file" with source "builtin"
+    And the tool has already been registered once in the tool registry
+    When a second tool with the same registry name "core/read-file" is registered
+    Then a DuplicateToolError should be raised mentioning "core/read-file"
+
+  # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  # Retrieving tools by name
+  # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+  @tool_reg_read
+  Scenario: A tool is retrieved by its namespaced name
+    Given a valid tool dict named "core/write-file" with source "builtin"
+    And the tool has been registered through the tool registry repository
+    When the tool is looked up by registry name "core/write-file"
+    Then the returned tool should have the registry name "core/write-file"
+
+  @tool_reg_read
+  Scenario: Looking up a non-existent tool name returns nothing
+    When the tool is looked up by registry name "core/does-not-exist"
+    Then no tool should be returned from the registry
+
+  # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  # Listing tools with filters
+  # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+  @tool_reg_list
+  Scenario: All tools are listed without filters
+    Given the following tools have been registered:
+      | name               | source  | tool_type  |
+      | core/read-file     | builtin | tool       |
+      | core/write-file    | builtin | tool       |
+      | local/custom-lint  | custom  | validation |
+    When all tools are listed from the tool registry
+    Then 3 tools should be returned from the registry
+
+  @tool_reg_list
+  Scenario: Tools are filtered by namespace
+    Given the following tools have been registered:
+      | name               | source  | tool_type  |
+      | core/read-file     | builtin | tool       |
+      | local/custom-lint  | custom  | validation |
+    When tools in the "core" namespace are listed from the registry
+    Then 1 tools should be returned from the registry
+    And the returned tool names from the registry should include "core/read-file"
+
+  @tool_reg_list
+  Scenario: Tools are filtered by tool_type
+    Given the following tools have been registered:
+      | name               | source  | tool_type  |
+      | core/read-file     | builtin | tool       |
+      | core/schema-check  | builtin | validation |
+    When tools of type "validation" are listed from the registry
+    Then 1 tools should be returned from the registry
+
+  @tool_reg_list
+  Scenario: Tools are filtered by source
+    Given the following tools have been registered:
+      | name               | source  | tool_type  |
+      | core/read-file     | builtin | tool       |
+      | local/custom-lint  | custom  | tool       |
+    When tools with source "custom" are listed from the registry
+    Then 1 tools should be returned from the registry
+
+  # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  # Updating tools
+  # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+  @tool_reg_update
+  Scenario: A tool description is updated
+    Given a valid tool dict named "core/read-file" with source "builtin"
+    And the tool has been registered through the tool registry repository
+    When the tool description is updated to "Updated description"
+    Then the persisted tool should have description "Updated description"
+
+  @tool_reg_update

+**2026-02-14**: Stage C1.tool.registry Complete - Tool Registry Persistence [Luis]
+- Created Alembic migration `c1_001_tool_registry` (depends on `b1_001_resource_registry`) with 3 tables:
+  - `tools`: 22 columns, PK `name` (namespaced string e.g. `local/lint-check`), self-referential FK `wraps` -> `tools.name` (SET NULL), CHECK constraints on `tool_type` (tool/validation) and `source` (mcp/agent_skill/builtin/custom/wrapped), indexes on namespace/tool_type/source. Includes columns for inline code, MCP server/tool name, agent skill path, timeout (default 300), input/output schema JSON, capability/lifecycle JSON, transform, mode, and argument_mapping JSON.
+  - `tool_resource_bindings`: 10 columns, auto-increment PK, FK `tool_name` -> `tools.name` (CASCADE), columns for slot_name, resource_type, access_mode, binding_mode, static_resource, required (default true), description. Index on tool_name.
+  - `validation_attachments`: 8 columns, ULID PK `attachment_id`, FK `validation_name` -> `tools.name` (CASCADE), columns for resource_id, mode (required/informational CHECK), project_name, plan_id, args_json. Indexes on validation_name, resource_id, project_name.
+- Added 3 ORM models to `src/cleveragents/infrastructure/database/models.py`:
+  - `ToolModel` (22 cols): `to_domain()` returns dict, `from_domain()` accepts dict/object with auto-namespace extraction. Relationships to `ToolResourceBindingModel` (cascade="all, delete-orphan") and `ValidationAttachmentModel`.
+  - `ToolResourceBindingModel` (10 cols): Nested child of ToolModel.
+  - `ValidationAttachmentModel` (8 cols): Nested child of ToolModel with mode CHECK constraint.
+- Created 2 repository classes in `src/cleveragents/infrastructure/database/repositories.py`:
+  - `ToolRegistryRepository` (5 methods: create/get_by_name/list_all/update/delete): Session-factory pattern, `@database_retry` on all methods, duplicate name detection via `DuplicateToolError`, referential integrity check on delete via `ToolInUseError` (counts active validation attachments before allowing deletion). Update method replaces all child resource bindings.
+  - `ValidationAttachmentRepository` (4 methods: attach/detach/list_for_resource/get_by_id): ULID generation for attachment IDs, JSON serialization of args, filtering by resource_id/project_name/plan_id.
+- Created `src/cleveragents/application/services/tool_registry_service.py` (192 lines):
+  - `ToolRegistryService` with 8 methods (5 tool CRUD + 3 validation attachment): pure dependency injection pattern, existence check on `attach_validation()` raises `NotFoundError` if validation tool not found.
+- Updated `src/cleveragents/infrastructure/database/__init__.py` with 7 new exports (3 models, 2 repos, 2 errors).
+- Updated `src/cleveragents/application/services/__init__.py` to export `ToolRegistryService`.
+- Updated `docs/reference/database_schema.md` with 3 new table sections, updated ER diagram (tools -> bindings/attachments + self-referential wraps), updated migration chain and source locations.
+- Created `features/tool_registry.feature` (27 scenarios across 7 groups: create/read/list/update/delete/attachments/service) with `features/steps/tool_registry_steps.py` (598 lines).
+- Created `robot/tool_registry.robot` (4 integration tests: register-and-get, list-filter, attach-detach, duplicate-reject) with `robot/helper_tool_registry.py` (123 lines).
+- Created `benchmarks/tool_registry_bench.py` (3 ASV suites, 7 benchmarks: ORM construction, CRUD operations, attachment operations).
+- Key decision: `ToolModel.to_domain()` returns a dict (not a domain object) to decouple the persistence layer from the domain model until the full tool domain model integration is complete.
+- Key decision: `ToolRegistryRepository.delete()` pre-checks for active `ValidationAttachmentModel` rows and raises `ToolInUseError` with count before allowing deletion, ensuring referential integrity at the application level.
+- Key decision: Validation attachments are resource-scoped with optional project_name and plan_id narrowing, supporting both project-wide and plan-specific validation bindings per spec.
+- Verification: lint 0 findings, typecheck 0 errors, 27 new Behave scenarios pass, 4 Robot integration tests pass.

+**2026-02-15**: Bugfix - Benchmark Unique Name Constraint [Luis]
+- Fixed `benchmarks/resource_registry_migration_bench.py`: ASV benchmark suites that create tools/resources now use unique names per iteration (incrementing counter) to avoid UNIQUE constraint failures when ASV runs multiple iterations of the same benchmark method.
