+/**
+ * Assemble the runtime context the advisor consult needs to make grounded
+ * recommendations, the same situational awareness the executing agent has:
+ *  - the tools available to it this turn,
+ *  - the full catalog of skills it can load,
+ *  - the workspace around it: top-level context, a bounded directory tree of
+ *    its working dir, NOW.md, and open documents.
+ *
+ * The advisor already receives the agent's transcript and system prompt; this
+ * adds the situational context that lives *outside* the prompt (tools and
+ * skills are passed to the model as a separate catalog, not inlined). Without
+ * it the advisor cannot reference platform capabilities: it would advise an
+ * agent whose toolbox it has never seen. Memory surfaces owned by the memory
+ * plugin (PKB, recall search) are deliberately absent: host code must not
+ * import plugin internals, and the inherited transcript already carries the
+ * memory the parent turn was injected with.
+ *
+ * NOW.md is a personal-memory surface, gated to the same policy the main
+ * agent's memory injectors apply: `isPersonalMemoryAllowed` plus the
+ * scratchpad-injection config toggle. The advisor consult is low-risk and can
+ * run on remote/trusted-contact turns, so without the gate it could forward
+ * private content the main agent itself would not receive.
+ *
+ * Every section is best-effort: each source is wrapped so a failure or empty
+ * result drops just that section, never the consult. Daemon-, tool-, and
+ * memory-side modules are pulled in via dynamic `import()` so this module,
+ * reached from a tool executor (`tools/subagent/spawn.ts`), never forms a
+ * static import cycle back through the tool registry or plugin bootstrap. The
+ * result is a single string appended to the advisor's system prompt (see
+ * `buildAdvisorSystem`), or `null` when nothing could be gathered.
