+ * Production ChatToolDispatcher — bridges ChatService to McpProxyService.

+ * For an agent's chat turn, the model sees the union of all tools exposed by
+ * the agent's project's MCP servers. We list them by sending each server an
+ * MCP `tools/list` JSON-RPC request, then translate the result into the
+ * OpenAI function-tool shape with namespaced names (`<server>__<tool>`). Tool
+ * dispatch reverses the namespace and sends an `tools/call` to the right
+ * server through the same proxy path the regular MCP client traffic uses.
+ *
+ * Listing is best-effort: a single server failing to respond does not abort
+ * the whole list — its tools just won't appear that turn. Errors from the
+ * dispatch path of an actual call do propagate to the chat loop, which
+ * persists them as `error` tool turns and lets the model recover.
