fix: use runtime tools for approval auto-approval

- load runtime tools dynamically from Copilot CLI capabilities via tools.list
- merge runtime tools with configured MCP and LSP tools in the approval catalog
- keep a fallback builtin runtime tool list when capabilities are unavailable
- move approval-tool pruning to the app service so dynamic tools are not dropped on load
- update approval UI and docs to use the corrected runtime-tool model
