/**
* Build the dynamic MCP config + allowed tool names. Mirror of
* `setupClaudeInChrome`. The `mcp__computer-use__*` tools are added to
* `allowedTools` so they bypass the normal permission prompt — the package's
* `request_access` handles approval for the whole session.
*
* The MCP layer isn't ceremony: the API backend detects `mcp__computer-use__*`
* tool names and emits a CU availability hint into the system prompt
* (COMPUTER_USE_MCP_AVAILABILITY_HINT in the anthropic repo). Built-in tools
* with different names wouldn't trigger it. Cowork uses the same names for the
* same reason (apps/desktop/src/main/local-agent-mode/systemPrompt.ts:314).
