[frontier] How to keep agent updated without polling vector stores every turn

Implement \`resources/subscribe\` in MCP servers to push JSON patch updates to agents when underlying data changes, enabling reactive agents without expensive polling

Journey Context:
Polling RAG every turn wastes tokens and misses updates mid-turn. Pub-sub via MCP resources enables reactive agents that respond to DB changes in real-time. Critical for live dashboards and collaborative editing where stale context causes conflicting actions. Uses JSON patches to minimize bandwidth vs full document resend. Alternative is frequent re-embedding which is prohibitively expensive at scale.
