Summary
The ai-dev-kit plugin references .mcp-gateway/gateway.lock for coordination between the gateway and client tools. This lock mechanism could be formalized as a first-class feature in mcp-gateway.
Requested Changes
- Document the lock file format - Add docs explaining the lock file structure and purpose
- Add health check endpoint - Expose lock status via health/status endpoint
- Consider lock manager API - Allow clients to query/acquire locks programmatically

Impact
