- PR #39446: fix(cli): keep /reload-mcp off the input thread

The members concern the /reload-mcp command in the CLI: one issue reports the terminal freezing and the session becoming unresponsive when a user triggers it, and two pull requests propose keeping it from blocking the command processor or input thread. One PR notes it supersedes an earlier one (#39446).
