Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure on the /chat path with app version 1.1.21, the GitHub theme, and the gituhb-mcp-server named in the message. Investigate why refreshing MCP tools reports that the catalog is stale; done means the repeated execution failure no longer occurs and the tools refresh successfully.
