justin 4009dc0b78 Phase 11: crop_seed_api_lessons tool + Pioneer fallback
Add the fifth MCP tool — crop_seed_api_lessons(topic?) — backed by
docs_mcp/lessons.md, the ONLY source of opinionated content in the
server. Everything else (search_docs, get_page, lookup_variety)
returns verbatim from vendor catalogs; lessons.md fills the gaps
the corpus can't cover.

The Pioneer fallback is the critical anti-hallucination piece:
Pioneer's ToS bans automation, so the corpus has no Pioneer data.
Without this tool, an agent might surface Bayer/Asgrow chunks as
mediocre matches for a Pioneer query. The tool's docstring tells
the agent to call it on any Pioneer / P-series question; the
'pioneer' section says clearly:

  "I don't have Pioneer's variety data indexed... please consult
  Pioneer or an extension service."

  "Do NOT invent Pioneer hybrid ratings."

Other lesson sections cover knowledge the agent needs to interpret
search_docs / get_page output correctly:

- rating-scales: Bayer 1-9, Golden Harvest 9-to-1, what
  R/MR/S/Rps1c/R3 mean in soybean disease columns
- maturity-semantics: corn RM days vs soybean MG vs wheat class +
  qualitative early/medium/late
- trait-glossary: SSRIB, VT2PRIB, XF, E3, Conkesta, Clearfield, etc.
- scn-resistance: race coverage + Peking vs PI 88788 source
- regional-listings: how to interpret Bayer's "local profiles"
- sources-not-yet-indexed: which vendors aren't in the corpus yet
- checking-your-work: always call lookup_variety before quoting

Lesson lookup prefers slug-match (returns just `rating-scales` for
topic="rating", not every section that mentions ratings); falls
back to body-match only when no slug matches.

Smoke-tested with topic=pioneer, topic=rating, topic=trait,
topic=zzzzzz (no match), and topic=None (full index = 10K chars,
8 sections).

"""seed-mcp — MCP server over public US row-crop seed catalogs.
Tools (all read-only):
search_docs natural-language retrieval over the corpus
get_page the full markdown body of one variety + sidecar
list_versions facet discovery (crops / brands / vendors / sources)
lookup_variety canonical sidecar JSON by source_key — fact-check
anything you surface from search_docs against this
The contract with the calling agent is **never fabricate**. Every chunk
we return is verbatim from the source's published catalog (the chunker
rebuilds chunks deterministically from the sidecar JSON). Every
response carries the variety's source URL so the agent can cite. The
``lookup_variety`` tool exists specifically so the agent can validate
specific rating values without having to trust paraphrased retrieval
text.

is intentionally NOT scraped (ToS bans it); the lesson tells you
what to say instead.

publish on different scale directions.

recognize.

``checking-your-work`` lesson reminds you to call
``lookup_variety`` to confirm.
