/// A `shell` tool alias that transparently delegates to `ctx_shell`'s compression
/// logic. Registered for all MCP clients (see `server::registry`); it exists for
/// clients (like Codex Desktop) whose agent model prefers a tool named `shell` /
/// `bash` over `ctx_shell` and would otherwise fall back to a native, uncompressed
/// shell tool.
///
/// This solves the "Codex Desktop doesn't compress" issue (#337): the Desktop app
/// loads the MCP server but the agent ignores `ctx_shell` and uses its native
/// `Bash` tool instead. By providing a `shell` tool with a familiar interface,
/// the model naturally routes commands through our compression pipeline.
