+ * That is right for the dedicated debugger (the run is already complete
+ * when you build it) — and wrong for `.selfExplain()`, where the tools
+ * are defined at Agent BUILD time but must read the agent's own *previous

+ *   - SCHEMAS are built once from an empty template (artifact-independent —
+ *     no id enums, generic descriptions; the same shape `traceToolpack`
+ *     itself produces past the enum cap), so the tools can be mounted on
+ *     a skill before any run exists.
+ *   - EXECUTION resolves `resolve()` per call, builds the REAL toolpack
+ *     over the resolved artifacts (memoized by snapshot identity — one
+ *     index per completed run, not per call), and delegates through
+ *     `callTraceTool` so arg validation matches the eager path.
+ *
+ * When `resolve()` returns undefined (no completed run yet), every tool
+ * answers with an honest, model-visible message instead of throwing —
