fix(deps): Sync requirements.txt with pyproject.toml (P0 MCP fix)

ROOT CAUSE: HuggingFace Spaces crashed with:
"module 'mcp.types' has no attribute 'ToolUseContent'"

requirements.txt was missing mcp>=1.23.0 pin. Gradio's [mcp] extra
pulled an older MCP version lacking ToolUseContent (added in 2025-11-25 spec).

Changes:
- Add mcp>=1.23.0 to requirements.txt (fixes crash)
- Sync ALL deps with pyproject.toml:
- Add beautifulsoup4>=4.12 (was missing)
- Fix huggingface-hub>=0.24.0 (was 0.20.0)
- Add upper bound to agent-framework-core
- Add sync header with date to requirements.txt
- Document P0 bug in docs/bugs/P0_MCP_TOOLUSECONTENT_MISSING.md
- Update ACTIVE_BUGS.md with resolution
- Update system_registry.md (mark removed tools from PR #130)

+# P0 Bug: mcp.types.ToolUseContent AttributeError on HuggingFace Spaces
+
+**Status**: FIXED
+**Severity**: P0 (App completely broken)
+**Discovered**: 2025-12-04
+**Fixed**: 2025-12-04 (PR TBD)
+
+---
+
+## Symptom
+
+HuggingFace Spaces deployment crashes with:
+
+```
+module 'mcp.types' has no attribute 'ToolUseContent'
+```
+
+The app fails to start entirely. No functionality works.
+
+---
+
+## Root Cause
+
+**Dependency version mismatch between `pyproject.toml` and `requirements.txt`.**
+
+| File | MCP Pin | Result |
+|------|---------|--------|
+| `pyproject.toml` | `mcp>=1.23.0` | Correct - has `ToolUseContent` |
+| `requirements.txt` | (missing) | Pulls old MCP via `gradio[mcp]` transitive dep |
+
+**Background:**
+- `ToolUseContent` was added in MCP spec **2025-11-25** via **SEP-1577 (Sampling With Tools)**
+- Our pyproject.toml correctly pins `mcp>=1.23.0` (for security fix GHSA-9h52-p55h-vw2f)
+- HuggingFace Spaces uses `requirements.txt`, NOT `pyproject.toml`
+- `gradio[mcp]>=6.0.0` pulls in MCP as transitive dependency
+- Without explicit pin, Gradio was pulling an older MCP version lacking `ToolUseContent`
+
+---
+
+## Fix
+
+Added explicit MCP pin to `requirements.txt`:
+
+```diff
+# UI (Gradio with MCP server support - 6.0 required for css in launch())
+gradio[mcp]>=6.0.0
++
++# Security: Pin mcp to fix GHSA-9h52-p55h-vw2f and ensure ToolUseContent exists
++mcp>=1.23.0
+```
+
+Also synced ALL dependencies between `pyproject.toml` and `requirements.txt` to prevent future drift.
+
+---
+
+## Changes Made
+
+**Files modified:**
+- `requirements.txt` - Full sync with `pyproject.toml`:
+  - Added `mcp>=1.23.0` (root cause fix)
+  - Added `beautifulsoup4>=4.12` (was missing)
+  - Fixed `huggingface-hub>=0.24.0` (was 0.20.0)
+  - Added upper bound to `agent-framework-core>=1.0.0b251120,<2.0.0`
+  - Added sync header comment with date
+
+---
+
+## Prevention
+
+1. **Sync header**: `requirements.txt` now has "Last synced: YYYY-MM-DD" comment
+2. **CI check**: Consider adding a pre-commit hook to validate requirements.txt matches pyproject.toml
+

+
+## Verification
+
+After fix:
+1. Deploy to HuggingFace Spaces
+2. Verify app starts without errors
+3. Verify MCP server responds at `/gradio_api/mcp/`
