+   * Follow a disambiguation rename into `tools.mcpTrusted`.
+   *
+   * `mcpTrusted` is matched by EXACT name (`McpClient.connect()`). Two shapes
+   * of rename reach here, and they need OPPOSITE treatment:
+   *
+   * - Distinct raw names that only collide via sanitizing (`foo bar` /
+   *   `foo@bar`): each had its OWN trust entry, and the old string now belongs
+   *   to nothing — the server that used it moved away, so the entry has to
+   *   move with it. A plain rewrite is correct here.
+   * - Literally identical names (a hand-edited or duplicated config: two rows
+   *   both named `foo`): there is only ONE trust entry for both, since
+   *   `mcpTrusted` itself is deduplicated. `this.config.tools.mcpServers` has
+   *   already been updated to the disambiguated list by the time this runs
+   *   (see `load()`), so the untouched survivor is STILL named `foo` — a plain
+   *   rewrite would move the one entry entirely onto the renamed row and
+   *   leave the survivor untrusted. The entry must be kept for the survivor
+   *   AND granted to the renamed identity, not moved.
+   *
+   * Renames are grouped by `from` before either treatment is applied, and
+   * each group is settled in one step. Two DIFFERENT rows can start out with
+   * the exact same raw name and BOTH get renamed away (e.g. three servers
+   * named `foo bar`, `foo@bar`, `foo@bar` — the two `foo@bar` rows collide
+   * with `foo bar` and with each other, so both are renamed to distinct
+   * identities while `foo bar` survives untouched). Processing renames one at
+   * a time in that shape drops coverage: the first rename's REPLACE branch
+   * would erase `from` from `trusted` entirely, so the guard on the second
+   * rename with the same `from` sees it already gone and silently skips —
+   * granting trust to only one of the two renamed identities. Grouping first
+   * means every renamed identity that shares a `from` is added or substituted
+   * together, in the one pass that still sees the original entry.
+   *
+   * `tools.disabledTools` deliberately gets no equivalent treatment. It's
+   * matched by sanitized PREFIX, and a prefix collision is exactly what made
+   * an existing entry ambiguous between the two servers in the first place —
+   * there is no way to tell, from the stored string alone, which of the two
+   * a denial was meant for. Leaving those entries untouched resolves that
+   * ambiguity for free: the survivor keeps the original (now unique) prefix,
+   * so an old entry keeps applying to it, while the renamed server starts
+   * clean under its new prefix. Rewriting the entry to follow the rename
+   * would do the opposite — move a denial that already worked for the
+   * survivor onto a server it may never have meant to cover.
