Rohit C Prasad 1e564d56eb request_tool: non-catalog names never raise the install card
Fast-fail with a shell steer before any prompt; docstring names the closed catalog
and stops citing semgrep (pip/brew, deliberately unmanaged) as an example.

"""The `request_tool` tool — the agent asks the user for a CLI it needs but can't find.
Sibling of `request_directory`: the TurnEngine intercepts it, emits TOOL_REQUESTED, and the
user decides out-of-band (install the pinned build, or skip and let the run continue
degraded). The callable here is only a schema carrier + the fallback for surfaces with no
requester wired.
This exists because of a specific failure mode (OPE-85): with gitleaks absent, a security
review silently dropped its git-history secret scan — the check didn't fail, it vanished
from the report. A missing tool must become a visible decision, never an invisible gap.

on this machine. The catalog is a small closed set — currently `gitleaks`,
`trivy`, `osv-scanner` — installed at a pinned, checksum-verified version.
For ANY other missing CLI (semgrep, jq, kubectl, …) do NOT use this tool: install
it yourself with the shell (brew/pip/…), which goes through the normal command
approval, or proceed without it.
Keep `reason` to ONE sentence: which check needs the tool. The prompt the user
sees already explains what the install is (pinned version, publisher, checksum)
and what happens if they decline — don't restate any of that in `reason`.
Use this INSTEAD of quietly skipping a check. If the user declines, carry on with a
fallback (e.g. reading git history yourself instead of running gitleaks) and state
plainly in your report which checks were degraded and why.
