Common safe-placement patterns

Discovery first: always call GetMcpCapabilities and McpSelfTest before anything else in a new session.
State before action: ListAccounts, GetConnections, ListPositions, ListOrders, GetAccountSummary, GetWatermarks before any write.
Compile before write: CompileNinjaScript(in_memory: true) before WriteNinjaScriptFile.
Backtest before deploy: RunStrategyBacktest before DeployStrategy.
Verify after deploy: GetDeployedStrategyState after DeployStrategy.
Confirm before order: explicit user confirmation before PlaceOrder, Cancel*, Flatten*, Reverse*.
