jschoubben 6ef6c761b2 tools: serve each tool on its own module-namespaced key (ADR 0052)
serveTools now serves each tool on serve.<module>.<tool> instead of one
tools.invoke that dispatched by name — so a module's account is scoped to
serve.<module>.* and one module cannot answer another's calls. toolKey and
invokeTool are the caller's side. A tool name need only be unique within its
module now, not across the mesh.

// The tool-serving harness. A module declares its tools through registerModuleTools; a runtime

// surface. HOW a tool is declared and served is settled and lives here; the tools themselves, and
// the API client they call, live in the module (novox/hq ADR 0044).
