[frontier] Agent loses state between turns when using MCP tools for data retrieval

Implement MCP Resource subscriptions with URI templates and delta updates instead of stateless tool calls; subscribe to resource changes server-side

Journey Context:
Standard MCP usage treats servers as stateless tool providers. The 2024-11-05 spec defines Resources with subscription capabilities that enable bi-directional state synchronization. This pattern maintains durable context across agent restarts by treating resources as live documents rather than request/response endpoints. Alternatives: custom state databases \(complex sync\), re-fetching full state \(expensive\). Resource subscriptions align with the protocol's native capability discovery.
