feat: implement complete MCP tools compliance with VS Code extension specs

Complete implementation of MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool compliance by:
- Adding 2 missing tools from VS Code extension
- Converting all tool outputs to MCP-compliant format
- Exposing internal tools via MCP while preserving existing functionality
- Comprehensive test suite updates with robust JSON handling
- Updated documentation to reflect 100% VS Code compatibility

- **getLatestSelection**: Get most recent text selection (different from getCurrentSelection)
- **closeAllDiffTabs**: Close all diff-related tabs/windows with VS Code-compatible output format

All tools now return MCP-compliant format: `{content: [{type: "text", text: "JSON-stringified-data"}]}`

- **checkDocumentDirty**: Added schema for MCP exposure, success/failure JSON responses
- **saveDocument**: Added schema for MCP exposure, detailed success information
- **getWorkspaceFolders**: Added schema for MCP exposure, VS Code-compatible structure
- **getOpenEditors**: Restructured from `{editors: [...]}` to `{tabs: [...]}` with all VS Code fields
- **getCurrentSelection**: Enhanced with proper fallback behavior and MCP format
- **openFile**: Added missing parameters (preview, selectToEndOfLine, makeFrontmost, text selection)
- **closeTab**: Updated format while keeping internal-only (per Claude Code requirement)

- **Text Selection in openFile**: Full implementation of startText/endText pattern matching
- **Conditional Output**: openFile returns simple vs detailed responses based on makeFrontmost
- **Language Detection**: getOpenEditors includes proper languageId field mapping
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive JSON-RPC error responses throughout

- **Robust JSON encoder/decoder**: Custom implementation supporting nested objects and special keys
- **Comprehensive test coverage**: All new tools with unit tests
- **Updated test expectations**: All existing tests adapted to MCP format
- **Format validation**: Tests verify exact VS Code extension compatibility

- **CLAUDE.md**: Complete rewrite of MCP tools section with 100% compliance status
- **Development Guidelines**: Added MCP tool development patterns and troubleshooting
- **Quality Standards**: Updated to reflect 320+ tests with 100% success rate
- **Protocol Compliance**: New section documenting VS Code extension feature parity

- **Backward compatibility**: No breaking changes to existing API
- **VS Code alignment**: Output formats match official VS Code extension exactly
- **Internal tools preserved**: close_tab remains internal as required by Claude Code architecture

- ✅ 320 tests passing (0 failures, 0 errors)
- ✅ All linting checks passing (0 warnings, 0 errors)
- ✅ Full MCP protocol compliance
- ✅ VS Code extension feature parity achieved

+- `getCurrentSelection` - Gets current text selection from active editor
+- `getLatestSelection` - Gets most recent text selection (even from inactive editors)
+- `getOpenEditors` - Lists currently open files with VS Code-compatible `tabs` structure
 - `openDiff` - Opens native Neovim diff views
+- `checkDocumentDirty` - Checks if document has unsaved changes

 ### Test Organization Principles

@@ -274,9 +341,86 @@ rg "0\.1\.0" .  # Should only show CHANGELOG.md historical entries
 4. **Document Changes**: Update relevant documentation (this file, PROTOCOL.md, etc.)
 5. **Commit**: Only commit after successful `make` execution
 
+### MCP Tool Development Guidelines
+
+**Adding New Tools**:
+
+1. **Study Existing Patterns**: Review `lua/claudecode/tools/` for consistent structure
+2. **Implement Handler**: Return MCP format: `{content: [{type: "text", text: JSON}]}`
+3. **Add JSON Schema**: Define parameters and expose via MCP (if needed)
+4. **Create Tests**: Both unit tests and integration tests required
+5. **Update Documentation**: Add to this file's MCP tools list
+
+**Tool Testing Pattern**:
+
+```lua
+-- All tools should return MCP-compliant format
+local result = tool_handler(params)
+expect(result).to_be_table()
+expect(result.content).to_be_table()
+expect(result.content[1].type).to_be("text")
+local parsed = json_decode(result.content[1].text)
+-- Validate parsed structure matches VS Code extension
+```
+
+**Error Handling Standard**:
+
+```lua
+-- Use consistent JSON-RPC error format
+error({
+  code = -32602,  -- Invalid params
+  message = "Description of the issue",
+  data = "Additional context"
+})
+```
+
 ### Code Quality Standards
 
-- **Test Coverage**: Maintain comprehensive test coverage (currently 314+ tests)
+- **Test Coverage**: Maintain comprehensive test coverage (currently **320+ tests**, 100% success rate)
 - **Zero Warnings**: All code must pass luacheck with 0 warnings/errors
+- **MCP Compliance**: All tools must return proper MCP format with JSON-stringified content
+- **VS Code Compatibility**: New tools must match VS Code extension behavior exactly
 - **Consistent Formatting**: Use `nix fmt` or `stylua` for consistent code style
 - **Documentation**: Update CLAUDE.md for architectural changes, PROTOCOL.md for protocol changes
+
+### Development Quality Gates
+
+1. **`make check`** - Syntax and linting (0 warnings required)
+2. **`make test`** - All tests passing (320/320 success rate required)
+3. **`make format`** - Consistent code formatting
+4. **MCP Validation** - Tools return proper format structure
+5. **Integration Test** - End-to-end protocol flow verification
+
+## Development Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Test Failures with LUA_PATH**:
+
+```bash
+# Tests can't find modules - use proper LUA_PATH
+export LUA_PATH="./lua/?.lua;./lua/?/init.lua;./?.lua;./?/init.lua;$LUA_PATH"
+busted tests/unit/specific_test.lua
+```
+
+**JSON Format Issues**:
+
+- Ensure all tools return: `{content: [{type: "text", text: "JSON-string"}]}`
+- Use `vim.json.encode()` for proper JSON stringification
+- Test JSON parsing with custom test decoder in `tests/busted_setup.lua`
+
+**MCP Tool Registration**:
+
+- Tools with `schema = nil` are internal-only
+- Tools with schema are exposed via MCP
+- Check `lua/claudecode/tools/init.lua` for registration patterns
+
+**Authentication Testing**:
+
+```bash
+# Verify auth token generation
+cat ~/.claude/ide/*.lock | jq .authToken
+
+# Test WebSocket connection
+websocat ws://localhost:PORT --header "x-claude-code-ide-authorization: $(cat ~/.claude/ide/*.lock | jq -r .authToken)"
