Seven tool identifiers were showing as "Unknown" in the UI. Adds display names to src/toolNames.json:

  • MCP tool: mcp_io_github_git_list_code_scanning_alerts → "GitHub MCP (Local): List Code Scanning Alerts"
  • Non-MCP tools: agent, job_output, ls, multiedit, todos, view — standard Title Case per existing conventions
