[frontier] How do I keep agent context in sync with live data sources without constant polling?

Implement MCP resource subscriptions instead of polling—use \`resources/subscribe\` to receive server-pushed updates when resources change, maintaining a live context cache.

Journey Context:
Polling wastes tokens and adds latency; naive caching serves stale data. Subscriptions let agents react to file changes, DB updates, or API events in real-time. Tradeoff: requires maintaining persistent connections and handling reconnection logic, but beats context window bloat from constant re-fetching.
