What

A new control message kind, remote_tools_reannounce, was added to the remote-session protocol. When a replacement remote-tool worker gets a tool call naming a machine it doesn't recognize, it can send this request, identified by a worker epoch and a deadline, to ask the attached client (the one serving the session's tools) to re-announce itself. The client side handles this with rate limiting and epoch checks, and the message kind is included in the reject-list for otherwise-unhandled message kinds.

Why

This keeps a remote session's list of available tools and machines in sync even after a worker is replaced, avoiding stale or unrecognized machine references.
