indifferentketchup 34cbecf975 v1.13.15-tools: tiered tool loading via BOOCODE_TOOLS env var
Pattern lift from eyaltoledano/claude-task-master (MIT + Commons Clause
— pattern only, no code lift). Adds BOOCODE_TOOLS env var with three
tiers:

- core (4 tools): view_file, list_dir, grep, find_files. ~2k token
  schema cost.
- standard (15 tools): core + web_search, web_fetch, git_status, all
  8 codecontext_* tools. ~10k token schema cost.
- all (default; current behavior): every tool in ALL_TOOLS (20). ~21k
  token schema cost.

The env var is a CEILING — narrows agent whitelists, never expands.
Default behavior unchanged when var is unset. resolveToolTier is
case-insensitive and falls back to 'all' on unknown values.

CORE_TOOL_NAMES + STANDARD_TOOL_NAMES validated at module load against
TOOLS_BY_NAME via two top-level for-loops that throw on the first
missing name. Module fails to import if a tier references a tool that
doesn't exist in the registry — catches typos and stale tier
definitions at boot rather than silently filtering valid tools out of
agent whitelists.

Wiring: agents.ts parseAgentBlock now reads BOOCODE_TOOLS from
process.env per parse, intersects with the agent's declared frontmatter
tools (or DEFAULT_TOOLS when frontmatter omits the field). Per-parse
read is fine — agents are re-parsed on the existing 60s cache TTL.

Tests: tools.test.ts grows from 1 to 10 tests. Covers resolveToolTier
across tiers/case/unknown values + the CORE-subset-of-STANDARD invariant
+ TOOLS_BY_NAME existence for both tier sets. 204/204 pass (was 195;
+9 new).

Deviation from the brief: the codecontext tools in the actual registry
have NO codecontext_* prefix (the brief's STANDARD list assumed it).
Used the actual names (get_codebase_overview, search_symbols, etc.).
Module-load validation would have failed boot with the prefixed names.

Smoke: with BOOCODE_TOOLS unset, agents return their full 12-tool
whitelists. With BOOCODE_TOOLS=core in .env + container restart, the
same agents narrow to 4 tools (find_files, grep, list_dir, view_file)
— intersection of declared whitelist ∩ core tier. Reverted after
confirmation.

CLAUDE.md updated with BOOCODE_TOOLS in the Environment section's
Optional list. .env.example gained a commented BOOCODE_TOOLS=all line
with the per-tier token-cost table.

~110 LoC across 5 files (4 modified + 1 test expansion). Under the
brief's ~30 LoC estimate for code; the test suite expansion drove
most of the growth.
