Contributor

As discussed in #2366: get_tab_id gates on --experimentalInteropTools, but its result only went into structuredContent, which is dropped unless --experimentalStructuredContent is also set – so with interop alone the tool always returned an empty text response.

This appends a Tab ID: <id> line to the text response and keeps structuredContent.tabId as-is – key: value so it stays trivially parseable.

Testing

The existing returns the tab id test asserted empty responseLines, which pinned the old behavior – now it asserts the Tab ID: line. Verified end-to-end over stdio with --experimentalInteropTools alone: the text response is Tab ID: <id> where it was "" before.

`get_tab_id` gates on `--experimentalInteropTools`, but its result only
went into `structuredContent`, which is dropped unless
`--experimentalStructuredContent` is also set – with interop alone the
tool always returned an empty text response.

Append a `Tab ID: <id>` line to the text response, keeping
`structuredContent.tabId` as-is.
