open_threads: new get_open_threads MCP tool on agent + manager surfaces

 - (some agents only) **extra MCP tools** surfaced as `mcp__<server>__<tool>` — these are agent-specific (matrix client, scraper, db connector, etc.) declared in your `agent.nix` under `hyperhive.extraMcpServers`. Treat them as first-class tools alongside the hyperhive surface; the operator already auto-approved them at deploy time.
 - `mcp__hyperhive__ask(question, options?, multi?, ttl_seconds?, to?)` — surface a structured question to the human operator (default, or `to: "operator"`) OR a peer agent (`to: "<agent-name>"`). Returns immediately with a question id — do NOT wait inline. When the recipient answers, a system message with event `question_answered { id, question, answer, answerer }` lands in your inbox; handle it on a future turn. Use this for clarifications, permission for risky actions, choice between options, or peer Q&A without burning regular inbox slots. `options` is advisory: a short fixed-choice list when applicable, otherwise leave empty for free text. `multi: true` lets the answerer pick multiple (checkboxes), answer comes back comma-joined. `ttl_seconds` auto-cancels with answer `[expired]` (and `answerer: "ttl-watchdog"`) when the decision becomes moot.
 - `mcp__hyperhive__answer(id, answer)` — answer a question that was routed to YOU. You'll see one in your inbox as a `question_asked { id, asker, question, options, multi }` system event when a peer or the manager calls `ask(to: "<your-name>", ...)`. The answer surfaces in the asker's inbox as a `question_answered` event. Strict authorisation: you can only answer questions where you are the declared target.
+- `mcp__hyperhive__get_open_threads()` — list your loose ends: unanswered questions where you're asker (waiting on someone) or target (owing a reply). No args, cheap server-side sweep. Useful at turn start to remember what's outstanding without scanning inbox archaeology.
 
 Need new packages, env vars, or other NixOS config for yourself? You can't edit your own config directly — message the manager (recipient `manager`) describing what you need + why. The manager evaluates the request (it doesn't rubber-stamp), edits `/agents/{label}/config/agent.nix` on your behalf, commits, and submits an approval that the operator can accept on the dashboard; on approve hive-c0re rebuilds your container with the new config.

 - `mcp__hyperhive__request_apply_commit(agent, commit_ref, description?)` — submit a config change for any agent (`hm1nd` for self) for operator approval. Pass an optional `description` and it appears on the dashboard approval card so the operator knows what changed without opening the diff. At submit time hive-c0re fetches your commit into the agent's applied repo and pins it as `proposal/<id>`; from that moment your proposed-side commit can be amended or force-pushed freely without changing what the operator will build.
 - `mcp__hyperhive__ask(question, options?, multi?, ttl_seconds?, to?)` — surface a structured question to the operator (default, or `to: "operator"`) OR a sub-agent (`to: "<agent-name>"`). Returns immediately with a question id; the answer arrives later as a system `question_answered { id, question, answer, answerer }` event in your inbox. Options are advisory: the dashboard always lets the operator type a free-text answer in addition. Set `multi: true` to render options as checkboxes (operator can pick multiple); the answer comes back as `, `-separated. Set `ttl_seconds` to auto-cancel after a deadline (capped at 6h server-side) — on expiry the answer is `[expired]` and `answerer` is `"ttl-watchdog"`. Do not poll inside the same turn — finish the current work and react when the event lands.
 - `mcp__hyperhive__answer(id, answer)` — answer a question that was routed to YOU (a sub-agent did `ask(to: "manager", ...)`). The triggering event in your inbox is `question_asked { id, asker, question, options, multi }`. The answer surfaces in the asker's inbox as a `question_answered` event.
+- `mcp__hyperhive__get_open_threads()` — hive-wide loose ends: every pending approval + every unanswered question across the swarm. Cheap server-side sweep, no args. Use to find stalled threads (sub-agent A asked B something three days ago and B never answered) before they rot.
 
 Approval boundary: lifecycle ops on *existing* sub-agents (`kill`, `start`, `restart`) are at your discretion — no operator approval. *Creating* a new agent (`request_spawn`) and *changing* any agent's config (`request_apply_commit`) still go through the approval queue. The operator only signs off on changes; you run the day-to-day.
