Research direction

Start at the /chat entry point and reproduce the reported failure on Windows 10 with app version 1.1.21, using the github-mcp-server. Inspect the MCP tool refresh failure and any available application logs; the issue is done when refreshing the tools no longer stops chat or leaves the catalog stale.
