Resolves #10527

Added native `z.enum()` support for string schemas in `OpenApiValidator.mjs`. This prevents string properties with `enum` arrays from falling back to open-ended `z.string()` definitions during the MCP schema translation phase, surfacing the valid values natively in the tool input schema.

## Deltas from ticket
None.

## Test Evidence
Ran `npx playwright test test/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/validation/OpenApiValidatorCompliance.spec.mjs`. Added a new regression test suite checking `#10527` specifically. 24/24 tests pass, confirming no regressions in other passthrough logic.

## Post-Merge Validation
- [ ] Verify `harnessTarget` in `manage_wake_subscription` tool lists the correct enums natively in Antigravity prompt.
- [ ] Remove redundant text-embedded enum values in `openapi.yaml`.

## Commits
- 9504ce5a3 — fix(mcp): support enum constraints for string inputs (#10527)

> ● # PR Review Summary
> 
> **Status:** Request Changes
> 
> The #10527 enum translator fix itself is small and appears correct; the targeted validator suite passes locally. The PR is not merge-ready because the branch currently carries unrelated #10504 commits/files and a whitespace failure.
> 
> ---
> 
> ### Context & Graph Linking
> * **Target Epic / Issue ID:** Resolves #10527
> * **Related Graph Nodes:** MCP schema translation, OpenAPI-to-Zod conversion, `tools/list` JSON Schema payloads
> 
> ---
> 
> ### Depth Floor
> 
> **Challenge:** The implementation goal is narrow, but the PR branch is not. `git log origin/dev..HEAD` shows three unrelated `#10504` commits in addition to the `#10527` commit, and `git diff --name-only origin/dev...HEAD` includes `CollectionProxy.mjs` plus `SessionSummarization.spec.mjs`. That makes the review/merge surface broader than the ticket and risks merging unrelated memory-core work through the enum ticket.
> 
> **Rhetorical-Drift Audit:** Pass for the #10527 PR description: the enum framing matches the OpenApiValidator diff. The drift is in branch contents, not prose.
> 
> ---
> 
> ### Graph Ingestion Notes
> 
> * **`[KB_GAP]`**: None observed for the enum conversion itself.
> * **`[TOOLING_GAP]`**: `git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD` fails due trailing whitespace in `OpenApiValidatorCompliance.spec.mjs:164`.
> * **`[RETROSPECTIVE]`**: This is a useful quick win for reducing OpenAPI description bloat, but it needs a clean one-ticket branch before merge.
> 
> ---
> 
> ### Provenance Audit
> 
> N/A. This is a targeted schema-translation bug fix, not a new architectural abstraction.
> 
> ---
> 
> ### Close-Target Audit
> 
> * Close-target identified: `Resolves #10527`
> * #10527 labels verified: `enhancement`, `ai`, `core`; not `epic`.
> 
> **Findings:** Pass.
> 
> ---
> 
> ### MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit
> 
> N/A. This PR does not modify `ai/mcp/server/*/openapi.yaml` descriptions.
> 
> ---
> 
> ### Wire-Format Compatibility Audit
> 
> Pass with one note: the emitted MCP tool schema becomes more constrained for existing string enums, which is the intended compatibility improvement. I actively checked for an enum-value expansion or non-string enum handling requirement and found both out of scope for #10527.
> 
> ---
> 
> ### Cross-Skill Integration Audit
> 
> No skill or convention updates required. This changes the OpenAPI translator behavior, not a new agent workflow convention.
> 
> ---
> 
> ### Test-Execution Audit
> 
> * Branch checked out locally via `checkout_pull_request`.
> * Ran `npx playwright test test/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/validation/OpenApiValidatorCompliance.spec.mjs`.
> * Result: 24/24 passed.
> * Also ran `git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD`; result: failed on trailing whitespace at `test/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/validation/OpenApiValidatorCompliance.spec.mjs:164`.
> 
> ---
> 
> ### Required Actions
> 
> To proceed with merging, please address the following:
> 
> - [ ] Rebase/cherry-pick so PR #10528 contains only the #10527 enum translator commit and its directly related test changes. Remove the unrelated `#10504` commits and the `CollectionProxy.mjs` / `SessionSummarization.spec.mjs` diff from this PR.
> - [ ] Remove trailing whitespace at `test/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/validation/OpenApiValidatorCompliance.spec.mjs:164` so `git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD` passes.
> 
> ---
> 
> ### Evaluation Metrics
> * **`[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]`**: 85 - 15 points deducted because the `z.enum()` mapping fits the translator architecture, but the PR branch includes unrelated memory-core changes that do not belong to the #10527 architecture surface.
> * **`[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]`**: 90 - 10 points deducted because the PR body clearly describes #10527, but it does not disclose the unrelated #10504 commits currently present in the branch.
> * **`[EXECUTION_QUALITY]`**: 70 - 30 points deducted because the targeted validator tests pass, but `git diff --check` fails and the branch is polluted with unrelated commits/files.
> * **`[PRODUCTIVITY]`**: 80 - 20 points deducted because the primary #10527 behavior is implemented, but merge is blocked by branch hygiene rather than feature logic.
> * **`[IMPACT]`**: 65 - This is a meaningful MCP schema-quality fix: it removes description-string workarounds and exposes enum constraints natively, but it is localized to schema translation.
> * **`[COMPLEXITY]`**: 30 - Low implementation complexity: one translator branch and one regression test; the branch hygiene issue adds review complexity without adding intended product complexity.
> * **`[EFFORT_PROFILE]`**: Quick Win - High ROI/low implementation complexity once the PR is reduced to the intended #10527 diff.

> ● # PR Review Follow-Up

> **Status:** Approved
> 
> The Cycle 1 blockers are resolved. I verified the updated PR head `72c8d7fcd5782248cad45960ac4cd68b131880c4` locally and via GitHub metadata.

> ### Metrics Delta
> * **`[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]`**: 85 -> 95 - Improved because the unrelated #10504 memory-core changes were removed; 5 points remain only because this is a localized translator fix rather than a broader schema architecture pass.
> * **`[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]`**: 90 -> 95 - Improved because the branch now matches the #10527 PR body. Minor non-blocking note: the optional PR-body commit list still names the pre-rebase SHA `9504ce5a3` instead of current head `72c8d7fcd`.
> * **`[EXECUTION_QUALITY]`**: 70 -> 100 - Both prior blockers are empirically fixed: `git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD` passes and the targeted validator suite passes 24/24.
> * **`[PRODUCTIVITY]`**: 80 -> 100 - The PR now cleanly delivers the #10527 enum propagation goal without unrelated branch surface.
> * **`[IMPACT]`**: unchanged at 65 - Localized but meaningful MCP schema-quality improvement.
> * **`[COMPLEXITY]`**: 30 -> 20 - Reduced now that the diff is one translator branch plus one regression test, with no unrelated memory-core files.
> * **`[EFFORT_PROFILE]`**: unchanged: Quick Win.

> ### Depth Floor
> 
> I re-checked the exact prior blockers: commit scope, changed-file scope, whitespace hygiene, related tests, PR close-target labels, and GitHub check state. No remaining blocking concern found.
> 
> Non-blocking polish: the optional `## Commits` section in the PR body still references the old pre-rebase SHA. GitHub metadata is canonical and this is not a merge blocker, but updating it would keep the public artifact tighter.
