Unclear The finding doesn't say what 'external_build' means in context or whether this is a temporary state during development.

What

The function responsible for populating the list of served remote tools (part of the device-bridge feature that connects tools across devices) now always returns servedToolsUnavailable: "external_build", no matter what's passed to it. Its signature also expanded from three parameters to five, though the two new parameters aren't currently used.

Why

In this build, remote tools served through this path are unconditionally reported as unavailable because of being an external build, rather than based on any actual check. This looks like scaffolding for a feature that isn't wired up yet in this bundle.
