What
The bridge context can now tell the UI when the set of connected extensions changes, keeps the arguments of pending tool calls, and accepts a category on incoming permission requests.
Details
New onPeerRosterChanged callback fires on pair, peer connect, peer disconnect and teardown, so the extension list can be refreshed.
Pending tool calls now retain their args instead of discarding them.
Permission requests carry a category validated against ^category[0-9a-z_]{1,32}$; a value that does not match is dropped rather than passed through.
Evidence
onPeerRosterChanged
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
