- PR #92340: fix(tui): keep slow MCP servers visible in slash worker tools

These issues and PRs address a race condition where the /tools command in the slash worker could enumerate tools before MCP server discovery had completed, causing slow or still-connecting servers to be missing or dropped from the listing.
