Make `agent_config.tools` and `agent_config.mcp_servers` reach the running agent. A session profile update now persists the selection, merges each field independently so supplying one half does not clear the other, resumes an inactive session before the mutation, and applies the result through a single `setActiveTools` call. MCP server names are turned into tool patterns with the shared naming helper, so a server whose name needs sanitizing still matches its tools.

Do not use a lossy glob as the MCP server identity.

mcpServerToolPattern matches distinct server names that sanitize to the same value, such as foo/bar and foo?bar. It also matches long server names that share the first 49 sanitized characters. ToolManager.isMcpToolEnabled only checks the qualified tool name, so selecting one server can expose tools from another connected server.

Keep selected MCP server names as identities and compare them with McpToolEntry.serverName. Alternatively, reject ambiguous server names before persistence. Add negative tests for sanitized-name and truncated-prefix collisions.

mcpServerToolPattern and the ToolManager.isMcpToolEnabled selection flow so MCP
server identity is compared using the original selected server name and
McpToolEntry.serverName, rather than relying on the lossy sanitized/truncated
glob. Preserve distinct servers even when sanitized names or long-name prefixes
collide, and add negative tests covering both collision cases.
