//! MCP HTTP-streamable transport for the daemon.
//!
//! Wraps `car_mcp::Server` in an axum Router so MCP-aware clients
//! (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code's `--mcp-config`, Codex when
//! MCP-aware, custom GPTs, third-party agents) can call CAR's tools
//! through one governance pipeline. Same dispatch logic as the
//! `car-mcp-server` stdio binary; what changes is the transport
//! and the shared engine — the daemon binds the same
//! `Arc<Mutex<MemgineEngine>>` it uses for WS traffic, so facts
//! ingested via MCP show up in WS-served queries and vice versa.
//!
//! ## Wire shape (MCP 2024-11-05 over HTTP)
//!
//! - **POST `/mcp`** — body is one JSON-RPC 2.0 request, response
//!   is the JSON-RPC reply (or `{}` for notifications). The HTTP
//!   layer never invents protocol semantics; everything routes
//!   through [`car_mcp::Server::handle`].
//! - **GET `/mcp/health`** — liveness probe. Returns
//!   `{"status":"ok","protocol_version":"2024-11-05"}`. Useful for
//!   hosts that want to confirm the endpoint is up without sending
//!   a JSON-RPC initialize.
//!
//! Server-initiated requests (the SSE side of the streamable
//! transport, used for tool-execution callbacks) land in MCP-3
//! alongside the bidirectional tool plumbing.
//!
//! ## Lifecycle
//!
//! [`start_mcp`] returns a [`JoinHandle`] for the axum task. The
//! daemon's main holds it for the process lifetime; on shutdown
//! the handle is dropped and the task winds down. Failure to bind
//! is reported synchronously — the daemon's startup path can decide
//! whether to abort or continue without MCP.
