The Go SDK serves as the module the runtime names, answers calls concurrently, and emits through the runtime (hq ADR 0193)

What the TypeScript SDK's stdio loop does, in Go: an empty name serves as MESH_SERVED_MODULE; each
call runs beside the loop so a tool waiting on the runtime does not deadlock it; Emit asks the
runtime (mesh/publish) with the same envelope and headers. README says how to install it and how
releases are tagged.

# mesh-sdk for Go
The skeleton (novox/hq ADR 0188): `stdio.Serve(name, tools)` speaks MCP over stdio to the node's
tool runtime. A `Tool` is a name, a description, an argument schema and a function. A tool named
`<seat>.<verb>` is the seat's implementation. Standard library only.
`stdio.Serve("", tools)` speaks MCP over stdio to the node's tool runtime, as the module the runtime
names (novox/hq ADR 0188, ADR 0193). A `Tool` is a name, a description, an argument schema and a
function; calls run concurrently. A tool named `<seat>.<verb>` is the seat's implementation.
`stdio.Emit(type, body)` publishes an event as the module, through the runtime. Standard library only.
## Installing
```
GOPRIVATE=git.novox.be go get git.novox.be/novox/mesh-sdk/go@latest
```
Releases are tagged `go/vX.Y.Z` in this repository, the subdirectory form Go's module system expects,
at the same version as the TypeScript package.
What it holds, under ADR 0039's test: the stdio loop and the tool type. Nothing else — no bus, no
client, nothing of any module's. `go build ./example` and pipe a `tools/list` request into it.
