Populate the Demo tool catalog

[luokerenx4]

What changed

• replace the Demo's permanently empty tool inventory with four representative tools drawn from the current ToolCenter surface
• expose realistic tool details, JSON schemas, and prefilled examples in Dev Panel
• return clearly marked recorded execution results while echoing submitted input
• keep tool enable/disable changes in memory for the active Demo session
• add handler contract coverage for inventory, detail, execution, mutation, and unknown-tool behavior

Why

A real Demo walkthrough showed that Dev Panel → Tools rendered a filter with no tool list and still instructed the user to select a tool from the left panel. Settings → Tools likewise fell through to an empty state. The Demo handler hard-coded /api/tools to { inventory: [], disabled: [] }, so two otherwise complete product surfaces could not be evaluated or demonstrated.

User impact

The static Demo now lets prospective users browse representative OpenAlice capabilities, inspect runnable schemas, execute a recorded example, and exercise tool configuration without a backend. Recorded results are explicitly labeled so the Demo does not imply live market-data execution.

Verification

• pnpm vitest run ui/src/demo/handlers/toolsSimulator.spec.ts
• npx tsc --noEmit
• cd ui && npx tsc -b
• pnpm test — 358 files passed, 1 skipped; 3391 tests passed, 9 skipped
• pnpm -F open-alice-ui build:demo
• real pnpm -F open-alice-ui dev:demo browser walkthrough:
  • confirmed four tool groups render in Dev Panel
  • opened searchBars and confirmed the AAPL example is prefilled
  • executed it and confirmed the recorded-result note and broker/vendor candidates render
  • toggled searchBars in Settings and confirmed the active-session disabled state updates
