feat(mcp): let a deployment declare local MCP tools (#6330)

* feat(mcp): let a deployment declare local MCP tools

Tools served by a user-configured MCP server are absent from
TOOL_CAPABILITIES, so they are unknown and fail high. For a server with
both a read and a write tool that is unusable: the read result arms the
post-external gate, because an unknown result is not SYSTEM integrity,
and the write that follows is refused until separately authorized. Every
second call needs an approval, for a server that never leaves the host.

Add ODYSSEUS_LOCAL_MCP_READ_TOOLS and ODYSSEUS_LOCAL_MCP_WRITE_TOOLS.
Declared read tools become READ_PRIVATE with SYSTEM integrity, so their
output no longer arms the gate; declared write tools become WRITE_PRIVATE
and stay inside POST_EXTERNAL_BLOCKED_EFFECTS, so a run tainted by real
external content still requires the approval. Unset variables keep the
current behaviour exactly.

Fixes #6329

* fix(mcp): secure local MCP authorization and preserve external taint gate

Keep declared local MCP read tool results untrusted with EXTERNAL_UNTRUSTED
integrity so they continue to arm the external-context gate. Introduce a
narrowly scoped continuation exception for declared local MCP writes on
the same server when no external taint or explicit error payloads enter
the run. Preserves gate protection for shell execution, network egress,
email, and cross-server actions.

Fixes #6329

* fix(mcp): resolve local continuation against stdio transport and enforce built-in classifications

Resolve declared local MCP continuation operations against connected stdio
servers and enforce established built-in tool security classifications.
Ensure remote HTTP and SSE servers, unverified transports, replaced sessions,
stale configurations, and operations with dangerous effects or missing request
grants fail closed.

* fix(mcp): require sealed authority for local continuation

* fix(mcp): seal local tool admission and synchronize GPU stacks
