Description

When an ACP client (e.g. JetBrains WebStorm) passes a non-empty 'mcpServers' array in 'session/new', goose freezes its extension set to exactly those entries, dropping the configured platform extensions (skills, developer, todo, analyze, etc.).
Reproduced with a direct stdio probe of the exact ACP binary goose ships:
- mcpServers: [] (empty) -> all 9 skills listed, full extension set
- mcpServers: [webstorm] -> only 'webstorm' in extension_data.enabled_extensions, no skills
Behaviour should likely be ['client mcpServers'] U ['configured extensions'] rather than replace.
WebStorm then only ever sees the JetBrains IDE extension in AI chat and denies skill access, which matches what the WebStorm banner says ('ACP agents coming later').
workaround: none client-side; must be fixed by merging at the goose ACP handler.
