test0r 7e62f71931 v1.1.0/#18: windows MSI build — sync.sh + tracked manifest
windows/ was previously an untracked working tree with manually-
copied .lua files that drifted ~6 months out of date (missed every
feature added since April 2026). #18 introduces Option 1 from the
issue body: build-time sync.

New tracked files:
  - windows/sync.sh — copies root {lmcp,server,json}.lua to pkg/.
    Idempotent; run before WiX. Catches missing source files; logs
    each sync.
  - windows/README.md — workflow doc + tracked-vs-generated map.
  - windows/lmcp.wxs — MSI manifest (Version bumped 0.1.0 → 1.1.0).
  - windows/pkg/{install_service,start}.bat — Windows service
    installer + launcher (now tracked; they were already in pkg/).

New .gitignore at repo root:
  - windows/pkg/{lmcp,server,json}.lua — regenerated by sync.sh
  - windows/pkg/lua/ — bundled Lua + LuaSocket runtime (downloaded
    separately, not in git)
  - editor noise (*.swp, *.swo, .DS_Store)

Verification (Phase 7):
  $ ./windows/sync.sh
    synced lmcp.lua
    synced server.lua
    synced json.lua
  $ diff lmcp.lua windows/pkg/lmcp.lua  → empty
  $ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard windows/
    windows/README.md
    windows/lmcp.wxs
    windows/pkg/install_service.bat
    windows/pkg/start.bat
    windows/sync.sh
  $ git check-ignore windows/pkg/{lmcp,server,json}.lua  → all 3 ignored

The "missed every feature since April" failure mode this fixes:
running sync.sh before each MSI build now guarantees pkg/ matches
master. Forgetting to run it is failure-loud (the MSI ships the
last sync's snapshot, easy to spot in QA), not silent (the manifest
points at fresh files that mismatch root).

Closes v1.1.0 milestone with #11, #20.

lmcp — Lua MCP server

Lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in pure Lua.

Runtime dependencies

  • Lua 5.1+
  • luasocket — needed for the TCP listener. Packaged as lua-socket on Arch/ALARM, lua-socket on Debian.

Files

File Role
lmcp.lua library: protocol handling, tool registration
server.lua HTTP server loop
