Proactively offer capability requests instead of mentioning gaps - #50

…mention gaps
Live transcript: user asked "prepare swap via Uniswap exactly"; agent
correctly noted prepare_swap routes via LiFi with no venue-pin param,
then listed "add a Uniswap-direct path" as an informational bullet
saying "feature work, not something I can do mid-session" — without
ever offering to call request_capability to file it. The tool exists;
the server-level instruction just said "call request_capability when
the user asks for something unsupported", which the model hears as a
permission rather than a prompt.
Tightened the CAPABILITY GAPS paragraph to:
- Explicitly forbid treating the gap as a passive bullet the user
has to act on themselves.
- Prescribe a concrete question: "Want me to file this as a feature
request against the vaultpilot-mcp repo?"
- Clarify that workarounds and the feature-request offer are
complementary, not substitutes — so the agent recommending a
different UI doesn't suppress the offer.
No code change; text-only update to the server-instructions string.
