Net **-650 LOC** by removing duplication and dead noise. All tests pass.
### Duplication & helpers
- Extracted shared slim helpers (`UserLogin`, `UserLogins`, `LabelNames`, `BodyWithAttachments`, `UserDetail`, `Repo`/`Repos`, `Label`/`Labels`) into `pkg/slim`. Deleted the 4 copies that lived in `issue/`, `pull/`, `search/`, `repo/` (plus duplicate `slimUserDetail`/`slimRepo`/`slimLabels` across packages).
- Added `params.GetOptionalBoolPtr` and `params.GetOptionalStringPtr`. Replaced 18 awkward `new(localVar); if !ok { = nil }` patterns across `repo/`, `pull/`, `issue/`, `label/`, `milestone/`, `search/`.
- Extracted `pullRequestReviewerFn` for the 99%-identical `createPullRequestReviewerFn`/`deletePullRequestReviewerFn` pair.
### Dead code & noise
- Deleted **122** `log.Debugf("Called X")` narration lines (`zap.AddCaller` already records the caller) and pruned 19 unused `log` imports.
- Removed the unused `log.Logger` wrapper; the mcp-go server now uses `log.Default().Sugar()` directly (matches `util.Logger`).
- Deleted dead `s.DeleteTools("")` — confirmed no-op in mcp-go.
- Stripped WHAT-narration comments per project guidance.
### Correctness & consistency
- Fixed `log.Errorf(err.Error())` format-string bug in `pkg/to/to.go` — a `%` in the error would have been interpreted as a directive.
- Standardized `to.TextResult`/`to.ErrorResult` usage; `release.go`, `tag.go`, `branch.go` were bypassing the helpers in 9 sites (skipping the wrapper's debug/error logging).
- Made `params.GetString` reject empty strings; dropped 21 redundant `err != nil || x == ""` checks in `operation/actions/`.
- Replaced raw `args["org"].(string)` in `ListOrgReposFn` with `params.GetString` to match the rest of the codebase.
### Performance
- **Cached `*gitea.Client` by host+token via `sync.Map`** + shared `*http.Transport` via `sync.Once` for both SDK and raw REST paths. Eliminates the SDK's `/api/v1/version` preflight on every tool call and enables connection keep-alive across requests.
- Gated `to.TextResult` debug log behind `flag.Debug` to skip the `string(bytes)` allocation when debug is off.
- Hoisted `8192` and `60s` magic numbers in `pkg/gitea/rest.go` into named constants.

- Tool list size reduced by 26.6% (43,032 → 31,599 bytes on the `tools/list` JSON-RPC response).
- Trim redundant tool/param descriptions; shared description constants for `owner`/`repo`/`page`/`per_page`.
- Schemas now use github-mcp-server param names directly: `issue_number` (was `index` on issue tools), `pull_number` (was `index` on PR tools), `path` (was `filePath`), `query` (was `keyword` on user/repo search), `per_page` (was `perPage`).
- New PR read methods `get_files` and `get_status`; new PR write method `update_branch` (update PR branch from base).
- `list_org_repos` now uses `per_page` (was `pageSize`).
- `milestone_write` accepts `update` and `edit`.
- `create_branch` `old_branch` is optional; Gitea defaults to the repo default branch.
- Fix `list_commits` handler to honour optional `page`/`per_page` schema (was erroring out when callers omitted them).

Add MCP `ToolAnnotation` metadata (Title, ReadOnlyHint, DestructiveHint)
to all registered tools so MCP hosts (VS Code, Claude, Cursor) get
accurate per-tool hints. A shared `pkg/annotation` package exposes
`ReadOnly`, `Write`, and `Destructive` helpers for consistency.
Add `close` and `reopen` methods to `pull_request_write` so PR state
can be toggled without going through the generic `update` path.

Add three new read-only tools inspired by the GitHub MCP server:
- `get_commit`: Get details of a specific commit by SHA, branch, or tag
- `get_repository_tree`: Get the file tree of a repository with optional recursive traversal, pagination, and ref support
- `search_issues`: Search issues and pull requests across all accessible repositories with filters for state, type, labels, and owner
