   - `ExternalMcpService` also exposes two daily-prep tools:
     - `GetDailyPrepCandidates` — returns Idle, non-blocked tasks in a git repo NOT excluded by `AppSettings.ReportExcludedPaths` and not already `IsMyDay`, plus the current Idle MyDay tasks and `maxTasks` (= `DailyPrepMaxTasks`). Repo-exclusion logic lives in the `DailyPrepFilter` helper (same file).
