Subject: [PATCH 01/12] migrate MCP server from low-level SDK to FastMCP

Replace the class-based DiffChunkServer with module-level FastMCP wiring,
removing the manual tool dispatcher and isError suppression. Tool annotations
and structured_output=False are set on all tools.

Subject: [PATCH 02/12] make DiffChunker stateless, add logging, improve error
 messages

Pass max_chunk_lines as a parameter instead of mutating shared state,
add structured logging to stderr, and make error messages actionable
for LLM self-correction.

Rewrite server-layer tests to exercise the real MCP protocol path,
testing tool discovery, annotations, error propagation with isError,

Subject: [PATCH 04/12] add case-insensitive file matching and cross-platform
 hardening

Make pattern matching case-insensitive in find_chunks_for_files and
get_file_diff, add .gitattributes for LF line endings in test data,
and update docs/design.md to reflect FastMCP architecture.

The old test_handle_call_tool and test_server_error_handling files tested
the manual dispatcher that was replaced by FastMCP. Equivalent coverage
now exists in the protocol-level tests.

Flush stderr prints before mcp.run() to ensure startup messages are
captured on Windows. Increase test timeouts for slower CI environments.
