Fix/tool permission facts - #180
Conversation
v1.21.57 shipped a verb table in entity/annotations.go that stamped ReadOnlyHint and DestructiveHint onto every generated entity command. It disagreed with the existing table in mcp/registry.go on update, which it declared non-destructive, and it won silently: EffectiveToolHints fills a hint only while that hint is still nil, so whichever source ran first decided and nothing reported the conflict. A permission rule of {destructive: true} therefore stopped matching update tools.
Deleting the inference restores mcp.EffectiveToolHints as the single place an operation's safety is derived. Clicky states what an operation IS and never what it is allowed to do; a hint an author declares explicitly is still carried through unchanged.
Adds the coverage that would have caught this: entity asserts a verb stamps no authority and no safety, and mcp pins the verb table end to end, update included.

toolInfo built a map[string]string of clicky/method, clicky/path, clicky/operation, clicky/verb and clicky/scope from data clicky already models as typed fields on RPCOperation. Captain parsed all five back at three call sites, one of which reconstructed typed Method/Path/OperationName from them, so the key names had to be kept in step by hand as constants there and literals here. The operation now travels whole. defaultToolPermission becomes declaredToolPermission and reports only what an author registered. Deriving allow/ask from the HTTP method here filled the very slot captain resolves into, which is why a consumer rule of auto could not hand a tool back to its own hints. Derivation moves to captain's PermissionStrategy chain. The Permission callback is replaced by Policy and Strategies, carried to captain rather than applied here: a provider does not see the other tool sources, and resolving per provider is what let two of them answer the same facts differently. Requires captain with api.PermissionStrategy. Claude-Session-Id: c7948e0b-f3b5-4c8c-aaed-52f2e2d2df5b
WalkthroughChangesCobra tools now preserve RPC operation metadata and pass configured Captain policies and strategies to Captain. Permission extraction uses explicit declarations only. Entity operations no longer infer safety hints from verbs, while MCP tests cover semantic hint derivation and precedence. Permission metadata handoff

Assert the configured strategy chain.
Line 88 checks only the strategy count. A provider that replaces or reorders a one-item Strategies slice still passes. Compare provider.Strategies() with strategies to verify the configured strategy values and order.

Decouple the verb safety test from HTTP method safety.
Each row uses an HTTP method that independently produces the expected hints. EffectiveToolHints could ignore Clicky.Verb and this table would still pass. Use http.MethodTrace, which this file already treats as unset, for these rows. Keep HTTP method derivation in a separate test.
