"""Regression tests for MCP server availability in cron jobs. Background ========== ``cron/scheduler.py:run_job()`` constructs ``AIAgent(...)`` directly without calling ``discover_mcp_tools()`` — the initialization that CLI and gateway paths do at startup. Cron jobs therefore never saw any MCP tools from ``mcp_servers`` in config.yaml. See #4219. The fix inserts ``discover_mcp_tools()`` before the ``AIAgent(...)`` call, wrapped in try/except so a broken MCP server can't kill an otherwise working cron job. ``discover_mcp_tools`` is idempotent — subsequent ticks short-circuit on already-connected servers.
