Newly surfaced deferred tools get their own announcement message

Tools that just became usable mid-session are announced as ready rather than told to load their schemas first.

Tools that just became usable mid-session are announced as ready rather than told to load their schemas first.

When deferred tools are newly surfaced mid-session (via surfacedToolNames) without new schema lines being added, the system prompt now shows a plain "The following tools just became available and are ready to use" message, instead of the schema-loading instructions previously given for all newly added tools.
