 list-changed notifications until reload remounts the visible capability set.
 Internally, reload metadata uses `ProxyReloadResult`; MCP tools serialize that
 typed result to a plain payload at the boundary.
+Proxy tool listing similarly uses `ProxyToolPayload` / `ProxyToolsPage`

 Do not memoize mounted proxies or clients without an explicit lifecycle design.
 The tempting implementation is a dictionary keyed by connection id around
