Historically, `accept_elicitation_for_prompt_rule()` was flaky because we were using a notification to update the sandbox followed by a `shell` tool request that we expected to be subject to the new sandbox config, but because [rmcp](https://crates.io/crates/rmcp) MCP servers delegate each incoming message to a new Tokio task, messages are not guaranteed to be processed in order, so sometimes the `shell` tool call would run before the notification was processed. Prior to this PR, we relied on a generous `sleep()` between the notification and the request to reduce the change of the test flaking out. This PR implements a proper fix, which is to use a _request_ instead of a notification for the sandbox update so that we can wait for the response to the sandbox request before sending the request to the `shell` tool call. Previously, `rmcp` did not support custom requests, but I fixed that in https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/rust-sdk/pull/590, which made it into the `0.12.0` release (see #8288). This PR updates `shell-tool-mcp` to expect `"codex/sandbox-state/update"` as a _request_ instead of a notification and sends the appropriate ack. Note this behavior is tied to our custom `codex/sandbox-state` capability, which Codex honors as an MCP client, which is why `core/src/mcp_connection_manager.rs` had to be updated as part of this PR, as well. This PR also updates the docs at `shell-tool-mcp/README.md`.
