This is PR 1 of 3 in a stacked PR sequence for MCP Apps in Goose2.
The full feature delivery depends on all three PRs merging. PR 2 stacks on this one, and PR 3 stacks on PR 2.
The overall goal of this work is to let Goose2 behave like a real MCP Apps host. This PR handles the backend negotiation layer that everything else depends on. It teaches Goose ACP how to understand Goose2's MCP Apps capability metadata, adds the ACP request surface the desktop app needs, and makes Goose advertise the MCP Apps extension to downstream MCP servers only when the connected client actually supports it.
In other words, this is the groundwork PR. It does not try to render anything in Goose2 yet, but it puts the ACP and MCP pieces in place so the later Goose2 PRs have something solid to build on.
