@copilot rebase on main

Merged the latest main history into this branch in commit a36ff63. I used a merge commit rather than rebasing because the publishing workflow does not support force-pushing rewritten history.

Some comments and suggestions, most weakly held. I am just struggling to get to the core of comparing things that are fundamentally different, in a space where many players do not seem to see any meaningful distinction, especially been unstructured and structured tool calling, and the consequences of either path.

🤷

Addressed the review feedback:

• Made naming disambiguation a non-goal (thread).
• Separated discovery correctness from prompt-cache efficiency (thread).
• Preserved authorization/cache-scope semantics and recorded auditability as an open question (thread).
• Clarified the CLI/Skills comparison focuses on progressive loading (thread).
• Removed the speculative implementation example (thread).

Also tightened the protocol rationale, evidence, scope, and evaluation criteria.
