fix(mcp): register loopover_get_automation_state as a local stdio tool

[RealDiligent]

Summary

• Registers loopover_get_automation_state as a local stdio MCP tool in packages/loopover-mcp/bin/loopover-mcp.ts, mirroring the exact registerStdioTool / ownerRepoShape / toolRepoBase / apiGet pattern of its maintain-family siblings (feat(mcp): register the maintain REST surface as local stdio tools #6382) and the recently merged loopover_get_outcome_calibration PR (feat(mcp): register loopover_get_outcome_calibration as a local stdio tool #7877).
• Reuses the same REST endpoint the existing maintain automation-state CLI subcommand already calls — no duplicated HTTP logic.
• Extends mcp-cli-maintain-tools coverage (fixture already served /automation-state) and bumps the stdio tool-count invariant to 83 (main's pin was stale at 81 after feat(mcp): add remote + stdio tool surfaces for loopover_get_activation_preview #7887; live was 82).

Closes #7752.

codecov/patch 0% on miner-lib .ts-only (#7889/#7882/#7795)	Avoided — not a miner-lib PR; follows #7877 MCP stdio pattern

Prior attempt #7866 closed for codecov/patch + validate-tests-merge	Same shape as merged #7877 (tests + count pin); CI builds mcp before coverage

Test plan

• npm run build:mcp

• CI validate-code / validate-tests / validate-tests-merge green

Review summary
This PR registers loopover_get_automation_state as a new stdio MCP tool, following the same registerStdioTool/ownerRepoShape/apiGet pattern as sibling maintain tools, reuses the existing REST endpoint, and updates the tool-count invariant tests from 81 to 83. The diff is coherent with its stated intent (closes #7752), mirrors the merged #7877 pattern, and the test changes (new fixture regex, new MAINTAIN_TOOLS entry, updated counts/comments) look consistent with the new registration.

Nits — 5 non-blocking

• packages/loopover-mcp/bin/loopover-mcp.ts:2673 uses an explicit `any` for the handler args (`async ({ owner, repo }: any) =>`), consistent with sibling tools but still worth typing via the shared owner/repo interface if one exists.
• codecov/patch failed at 0.00% diff coverage — the new registerStdioTool block itself isn't directly asserted line-by-line even though the maintain-tools test exercises it end-to-end via the stdio proxy contract; worth confirming coverage instrumentation actually sees the MCP bin build output.
• The inline comment `// Same GET {repoBase}/automation-state the maintain automation-state CLI subcommand already calls (REST + CLI mirror for loopover_get_automation_state #6742)` cites REST + CLI mirror for loopover_get_automation_state #6742 while the PR description and other comments reference feat(mcp): register loopover-mcp maintain queue/approve/reject/pause/resume/set-level/precision as MCP tools (CLI-only today) #6152/Register loopover_get_automation_state as a local stdio MCP tool #7752 — verify the issue number is correct.
• Double check that codecov/patch failure is due to build-then-coverage ordering (as claimed in the preflight table) rather than the new code paths genuinely being untested — confirm with a coverage report before merging.
• Consider asserting the exact request URL/method captured by capturedRequests for automation-state in mcp-cli-maintain-tools.test.ts, mirroring rigor of other proxy contract tests, if not already done in the untruncated diff.

Linked issue satisfaction

Addressed
The PR registers loopover_get_automation_state via registerStdioTool mirroring the sibling pattern, reuses apiGet against the same automation-state endpoint the CLI command calls, and adds its description through stdioToolDescription rather than inline, with accompanying test coverage bumping the tool count.

Signal definitions

• Related work = same linked issue, overlapping active PRs, or title/path similarity.
• Change scope = cached public metadata such as size labels, draft state, and review-burden hints.
• Validation posture = whether the PR provides enough public validation/test evidence for maintainer review.
• Contributor workload = public contributor activity and cleanup pressure, not a repo-wide quality failure.
• Contributor context = public GitHub/Gittensor identity context; non-Gittensor status is not a blocker.
