Description
The GitHub Remote MCP auth-test continues to fail because GitHub MCP toolsets are not loaded in the runner (tools missing, not auth failures). Add a preflight check to verify tool availability, and implement a documented fallback (e.g., switch to local mode or emit an actionable error with remediation) when remote toolsets are unavailable.
Expected Impact
Reduces false-negative auth-test failures and improves signal on actual MCP availability issues.
