"""Inject idatui's extra ida-pro-mcp tools into the installed server package.
DEPRECATED along with the ida-pro-mcp transport: the default backend is now the
idalib worker (idatui/worker.py), which registers these same tools in-process and
needs no patching. Kept only for `--backend mcp`; slated for removal.
ida-pro-mcp lacks a few tools idatui needs. Rather than vendor/fork the server,
we keep the tool source here and inject it (idempotently) into the installed
``api_types.py``. That module is imported by every worker
(``python -m ida_pro_mcp.idalib_server``), so the tools register themselves via
``@tool`` on the shared ``MCP_SERVER`` — no server code is forked, and re-running
this (spawn.sh does, on every start) re-applies it after a reinstall/upgrade.
Injected tools:
* ``del_type`` — delete a named local type (struct editor CRUD).
* ``func_types`` — structured decompiler types for a function (prototype +
local variables), so clients don't parse pseudocode text.
* ``set_lvar_type`` — set a decompiler local variable's type; works on auto/
register vars too (the stock set_type only updates lvars
that already have user-saved info).
The block between the BEGIN/END markers is *replaced* on each run, so editing
BODY here and restarting the supervisor updates the tools.
Run with the *same* interpreter the server uses (the idalib-mcp entry point's
``/usr/bin/python``), so it patches the file the workers actually import.
Changing a tool needs a supervisor restart so workers respawn.

Thumb is not a property of the bytes, it's a mode the CPU is in, so a raw

instructions as 32-bit ARM and produces confident nonsense
(``push {r3,lr}`` reads as ``SVCLT 0xBF00``).
Also forces the segment to 32-bit when turning Thumb ON. Thumb does not
exist in AArch64, and a headerless blob loaded with -parm defaults to
64-bit — so setting T alone changes nothing and looks broken. Asking for
Thumb IS asking for ARM32."""
