A server is a row with a URL; its tools are discovered by a button and
cached, then offered beside the built-in ones. Written by hand rather than
taken from the reference SDK, because that SDK's transport does its own
connecting -- and the one thing that must not be bypassed is check_url on
every hop. Owning the transport is the point; the framing beside it is the
small part.
Sessions are per call: initialize, initialized, the call, a best-effort
DELETE. Caching one wants an owner, a TTL, eviction, a lock and a shutdown
hook, and the server may expire it under all of that anyway -- ToolContext
is a session-free snapshot precisely so nothing in a tool holds live state.
A server's names and descriptions reach the model as instructions and are
bounded before they do; what it returns is escaped preformatted text, never
markdown. Tools are namespaced per server, so two servers exposing "search"
do not collide and neither shadows a built-in.
Also: a round's calls now run together under a semaphore, results indexed
so each tool turn stays paired with its call, and generation.status names
what is running -- a remote tool is latency-bound, and a silent pause is
what a hang looks like.

A row in custom_tools becomes a ToolDef like any built-in, offered beside
the thirteen. The registry had to stop being an import-time constant for
that: `resolve_tools` now returns the schemas *and* the runners together,
carried to the loop on the ToolContext.
That closes a hole on the way. `run_tool` looked names up in the global
REGISTRY with no reference to what had been offered, so a model naming a
tool its chat was gated out of -- a family switched off, a permission the
reader lacks -- had it run anyway. The resolved set is now authoritative.
Arguments come from a model, so an argument may fill a hole but never move
the target: the scheme and host of a URL template are literal, values are
escaped for where they land, and the origin is pinned afterwards. Every
redirect hop is checked the way services/fetch.py checks one, and the
secret is dropped if a hop leaves the origin it was issued for.
Also fixes the tool-activity block claiming every library tool had
"searched the web", which it has done since the second family landed.
