 - `tool/requestUserInput` — prompt the user with 1–3 short questions for a tool call and return their answers (experimental).
 - `config/mcpServer/reload` — reload MCP server config from disk and queue a refresh for loaded threads (applied on each thread's next active turn); returns `{}`. Use this after editing `config.toml` without restarting the server.
