## Title

    [paseo] bug: Cursor provider does not surface injected Paseo MCP tools; agent-scoped delegation falls back to CLI and loses finish notifications

## Body

    ## Observed symptom
    bug: Cursor provider does not surface injected Paseo MCP tools; agent-scoped delegation falls back to CLI and loses finish notifications
    
    In a Paseo Desktop agent tab with the **Cursor provider**, Paseo injects the internal `paseo` MCP server into the session config (`withRuntimePaseoMcpServer`), but the model never sees `create_agent` or the other delegation tools. It falls back to `paseo run -d` via Shell, which works but loses MCP-only behavior (notably `notifyOnFinish`; the CLI-side gap is tracked separately in #3248).
    
    **What this blocks:** unattended delegation loops. My workflow has a parent agent spawn a child via MCP `create_agent` (default `notifyOnFinish: true`), end its own turn, and rely on the finish notification to wake up and continue — e.g. spawn a reviewer, wake when it goes idle, apply its findings, repeat. With the Cursor provider as parent, the loop stalls after the first delegation: the child finishes and the parent never wakes.
    
    ## Environment
    GitHub getpaseo/paseo #5091
    
    ## Trigger / context
    Public GitHub report in getpaseo/paseo (FRESH_14D).
