Brydon DeWitt 83f456f25b fix(plugin): guard against undefined output.output for MCP tools 
MCP tools don't populate output.output in the tool.execute.after hook —
the MCP content flows through OpenCode's internal parts pipeline instead.
This caused a crash: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'text.length')
in the truncate function.

Research Triage

Assess risk before choosing your approach.

Factor Low Risk High Risk
Reversibility Easy to undo Hard to reverse (data, deploy)
Blast radius One file/function Many systems, shared state
Confidence Familiar, clear evidence Novel, ambiguous symptoms
Novelty Seen this before Never encountered
Time cost Known fast (<5s) Unknown = measure first

Low risk → Satisfice: test the single most likely hypothesis. Stop when confirmed.

Any high risk → Strong Inference: generate 2-3 competing hypotheses, design a discriminating test, eliminate based on evidence.
