fix(arcade-mcp-server): report missing debug stacktraces (#836)
## Summary
- Return an explicit `[DEBUG] stacktrace: unavailable ...` note when the
stacktrace debug flag is enabled but the tool error payload has no
stacktrace.
- Preserve existing behavior for real stacktraces and for developer
messages, including not leaking developer details unless the
developer-message flag is enabled.
- Clarify the toolkit-author docs around when stacktraces exist, such as
unhandled exceptions or chained `raise ... from exc` errors.

## Test plan
- `pre-commit run --files CLAUDE.md
libs/arcade-mcp-server/arcade_mcp_server/_debug_exposure.py
libs/tests/arcade_mcp_server/test_debug_exposure.py
libs/tests/arcade_mcp_server/test_debug_exposure_integration.py`
- `uv run --with pytest --with pytest-asyncio --with pytest-cov pytest
libs/tests/arcade_mcp_server/test_debug_exposure.py
libs/tests/arcade_mcp_server/test_debug_exposure_integration.py -v`
- `ruff format --check
libs/arcade-mcp-server/arcade_mcp_server/_debug_exposure.py
libs/tests/arcade_mcp_server/test_debug_exposure.py
libs/tests/arcade_mcp_server/test_debug_exposure_integration.py`
- `ruff check
libs/arcade-mcp-server/arcade_mcp_server/_debug_exposure.py
libs/tests/arcade_mcp_server/test_debug_exposure.py
libs/tests/arcade_mcp_server/test_debug_exposure_integration.py`

<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---

> [!NOTE]
> **Low Risk**
> Low risk: changes are limited to debug-only error-message augmentation
when an explicit env flag is enabled; default runtime behavior is
unchanged. Main risk is only in local debugging scenarios where the new
note could affect log parsing or expected error text.
> 
> **Overview**
> When `ARCADE_DEBUG_EXPOSE_STACKTRACE_IN_TOOL_ERROR_RESPONSES` is
enabled, tool error messages now **always include a stacktrace debug
section**: either the actual stacktrace (when present) or an explicit
`[DEBUG] stacktrace: unavailable ...` note when the tool error payload
had no stacktrace.
> 
> Adds/updates unit + integration coverage for the missing-stacktrace
case and adjusts expectations around “flag enabled but no content.”
Updates toolkit-author docs to clarify when stacktraces exist, and bumps
`arcade-mcp-server` patch version to `1.21.2`.

Analytics & Privacy

Arcade MCP Server collects anonymous usage data to help us improve the service and debug issues. We track "MCP server start" events to understand server usage patterns and reliability.

What We Track

When the server starts, we collect the following information:

  • Server configuration: transport type (http or stdio), host, port
  • Server metadata: tool count, server version
  • Runtime environment: Python version, OS type and release
  • Timing: device timestamp
  • Errors: error messages (if startup fails)

Privacy

  • For anonymous users: Events are tracked with an anonymous ID and no user profile is created
  • For authenticated users: Events are linked to your account to help us provide better support
  • No sensitive data (credentials, tool inputs/outputs, or personal information) is ever collected

Opt Out

To disable usage tracking, set the environment variable ARCADE_USAGE_TRACKING to 0.
