A new advisor tool mechanism can announce its availability to the model, gated off by default behind a feature flag

What

A new "advisor tool" mechanism has been added. It can send the model an attachment (attachment.type === "advisor_tool") telling it whether an advisor tool is or isn't currently available, with messages like "The advisor tool is no longer available" or "is available". A new "advisor_tool" category token was also added to several of the internal lists used for telemetry and context-injection categorization, alongside existing tokens like remote_session_change.

Why

The feature is controlled by a feature gate and is off by default, so it doesn't affect current sessions, but lays groundwork for Claude to be told when an advisor tool becomes available to it.
