"MCP server not connected" now tells you why

"MCP server not connected" now appends the underlying failure so you know why.

What

When a tool call reaches an MCP server whose connection failed, the error message now appends the underlying failure text instead of ending at the server name. The suffix appears only when the server is in the failed state with an error recorded, and is suppressed entirely when the MCP subsystem is kill-switched; the stable second argument stays "MCP server not connected".

Details
  • Applied identically in both copies of the MCP client in the bundle.
Evidence

MCP server not connected

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
