Marc-André Bombeck 576be8b746 Harden the MCP write surface and fence its free text
Three things the write surface claimed but did not hold.

Scope: the run bodies never re-checked ctx.canWrite. Enforcement was
real but lived entirely in the registration decision, and the test
asserted registration only — so a refactor that registered the write
tools unconditionally and meant to refuse at call time would open the
surface with the suite still green. Wrap every run body in a scope
guard at the registry level, so a new write tool inherits it, and drive
the run bodies directly from a read-only context in the test.

Free text: medication names, doses, treatment classes and lab analyte
names were interpolated into tool prose with no delimiter. A lab
analyte name is transcribed out of an uploaded document, so a hostile
document chooses it, and the write tools ride the same wire. Fence the
assembled prose with the shared data-fence markers and scrub short
result titles, which would leak markers into a host's result list.

Confirm: the header called the confirm flag a PROTOCOL-LEVEL CONFIRM
GATE. It is a client-asserted boolean with nothing binding it to a
prior preview. Binding it to a server-issued preview token would prove
only that a preview call happened, which any client can do, so it buys
no human-in-the-loop for a round trip and server state the stateless
transport does not want. Describe it as the convention it is and name
what actually bounds the blast radius.

/**
* MCP server factory.
*
* Composes an `McpServer` from the official SDK and registers the read tools +
* resources from the transport-agnostic registries, bound to one resolved
* session context. This factory is intentionally transport-free: the stdio
* adapter (this phase) and the future remote `/mcp` adapter both call
* `createMcpServer(ctx)` and then attach their own transport, so the tool /
* resource surface is identical across wires (ADR-002).
*
* Read tools are always registered. The write tools (`log_measurement` /
* `log_mood`) are registered ONLY for a `health:write`-scoped session
* (`ctx.canWrite`); a read-only session never has them advertised, so the
* read-only-by-default posture is structural (REQ-SEC-1 / ADR-003). There is
* no admin surface here and none can be added structurally — `requireAdmin()`
* is cookie-only and the MCP context carries no cookie (REQ-SEC-7 / ADR-005).
