/**
* A tools bundle as a process the node's runtime launches (novox/hq ADR 0188).
*
* The runtime speaks MCP over stdio to it: `initialize`, `tools/list` once, `tools/call` per call,
* newline-framed JSON-RPC on stdin and stdout. This is the whole of what a tools bundle in any
* language must do, and this file is the TypeScript SDK's share of it: the loop, so a module writes
* its tools and nothing else. A tool named `<seat>.<verb>` is the module's implementation of that
* seat's verb; any other name is the module's own tool.
*
* **No transport here.** The bus, the subjects, the memberships are the runtime's (ADR 0039, 0175);
* a bundle knows only stdin and stdout, which is why a bus change rebuilds no bundle in any language.
*
* stdout is the protocol. A tool that wants to log writes to stderr, which the runtime keeps.

* (novox/hq ADR 0193, ADR 0198). It answers MCP — initialize, tools/list, tools/call — and is this
* bundle's bus: what the module's code emits, subscribes to and asks goes to the runtime as a request
* on the same channel, and the runtime's answers and the events it delivers arrive on it.
*
* **Started before the bundle's own code runs.** A long-running entrypoint subscribes as it is
* imported (`await on(...)` at the top level), and the launcher imports it before it says what tools
* it serves — so the broker must already be bound and stdin already read when that import starts, or
* the subscription would wait on an answer nobody reads. The session therefore starts as this module
* loads when the runtime launched the process, and `initialize` and `tools/list` are answered once the
* bundle has said what it serves.
