fix(tool-search): reliably hide deferred MCP schemas by removing the ContextVar (closures + graph state) (#3342)

* feat(tool-search): add hash-scoped promoted state to ThreadState

* feat(tool-search): add immutable DeferredToolCatalog with stable hash

* feat(tool-search): add build_deferred_tool_setup + Command-writing tool_search

* refactor(tool-search): replace deferred-tool ContextVar with closures + graph state (#3272)

Build the deferred catalog + tool_search tool per agent from the policy-filtered
tool list (after skill allowed-tools), pass deferred_names + catalog_hash
explicitly to DeferredToolFilterMiddleware and the prompt, and record promotions
in ThreadState.promoted (scoped by catalog_hash) via a Command-returning
tool_search. Removes DeferredToolRegistry and the _registry_var ContextVar so
deferral no longer depends on build/execute sharing an async context. MCP tools
are tagged with metadata[deerflow_mcp]; client.py assembles deferral the same way.

Catalog is built AFTER tool-policy filtering (no policy-excluded tool can leak via
tool_search) and assembly is fail-closed. Migrate tests off the deleted registry
APIs; delete the obsolete ContextVar-based #2884 regression (re-covered by
state-based tests in a follow-up).

* test(tool-search): lock tool_search promotion into next model turn via graph state

* test(tool-search): cross-context, policy-leak, fail-closed, #2884 isolation regressions

* test(tool-search): align real-LLM e2e with closure-based deferred setup

* docs: update DeferredToolFilterMiddleware description for closure+state design

* style(tests): drop unused import in test_deferred_setup (ruff)

* test(tool-search): harden merge_promoted + replace tautological catalog test

From independent code review:
- merge_promoted: use existing.get("catalog_hash") so a forward-incompatible
  or externally-injected persisted promoted dict triggers a replace instead of
  a KeyError crash; add regression test for the malformed-existing case.
- test_deferred_catalog: replace the `== [] or True` tautology (a test that
  could never fail) with a deterministic invalid-regex->literal-fallback check
  (positive match on calc + negative empty match).
- DeferredToolCatalog: comment why frozen-without-slots is required for the
  cached_property hash/names fields (adding slots=True would break them).

* fix(tool-search): read tool_search.enabled from self._app_config in client

DeerFlowClient._ensure_agent called get_app_config() directly to read
tool_search.enabled, but the client already resolves and stores its config as
self._app_config at construction (and uses it everywhere else). The bare call
re-resolves config from disk at agent-build time, which raises FileNotFoundError
in environments without a config.yaml (CI) — test_client.py's fixture only
patches get_app_config during __init__, so the later call hit the real loader.
Use self._app_config, matching the rest of the client.

* test(tool-search): lock tool_search post-policy append ordering

tool_search is appended after skill-allowlist filtering, so the allowlist
can no longer deny it by name. Lock the intended contract: it only appears
when allowed MCP tools survive the filter, and its catalog (derived from the
already policy-filtered list) can never expose a denied tool. Addresses the
ordering observation from the Copilot review on #3342.
