Three features turn out to be one mechanism: a command waiting to be
approved, a question the model wants answered, and "this reply is waiting
for you" are all — stop the generation, put an interactive block in the
bubble, wait for a POST, carry on. So there is one primitive, and the only
thing using it so far is `ask_user`: a model can offer you a few answers
and a box to write your own.
The shell executor is not here yet. This lands first on purpose, because
it is the riskiest machinery in the feature and it is worth having working
before any subprocess exists to complicate it.
Two things about where the pause sits. It pauses a round, not a call: a
round's calls run together under a semaphore, and parking four coroutines
on four separate answers inside that gather would queue them behind each
other invisibly. And Stop had to be taught about it — `cancel` is read
between streamed chunks and there are no chunks while paused, so the
button did nothing at all until `request_stop` learned to resolve the
pause itself.
Also here: a risk class on every tool (read, write, execute), which is
what the four permission modes will be a table over, and the systemd unit
loses ProtectKernelTunables. That last one is not tidying — it
bind-mounts /proc/sys read-only, which stops bubblewrap mounting /proc at
all, and the obvious workaround would expose this process's environment
and with it the encryption key.

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.
