feat(mcp): add start_recording and stop_recording tools

[sinano1107]

Summary

• Add start_recording and stop_recording MCP tools for controlling simulator screen recording
• Internally delegates to LocalSimulatorUtils which wraps xcrun simctl io recordVideo with proper SIGINT handling via screenrecord.sh
• RecordingManager tracks active recordings per device, preventing duplicate recordings and cleaning up on JVM shutdown
• Optional output_path parameter allows specifying the destination file; defaults to a temp path

Motivation

The MCP server currently has no way to record the simulator screen. Users working with AI agents need to capture screen recordings for documentation, bug reports, or video production workflows. The existing maestro record command is self-contained and cannot run alongside MCP tool calls, so dedicated MCP tools are needed.

Implementation

• RecordingManager: Manages recording lifecycle per device using ConcurrentHashMap with atomic putIfAbsent. Reuses LocalSimulatorUtils.startScreenRecording()/stopScreenRecording() — no new process management code.
• StartRecordingTool: Returns recording_id and output_path on success.
• StopRecordingTool: Accepts recording_id to prevent accidental stops. Returns video_path.
• Registered in McpServer.kt alongside existing tools.

Test plan

• Unit tests for RecordingManager (state management, error cases, output path copying)
• Manual test: start_recording → interact with app → stop_recording → verify MP4 plays correctly

Code review

Found 1 issue:

1. shutdown() bypasses LocalSimulatorUtils.stopScreenRecording() and reimplements process teardown inline. Per screenrecord.sh, closing stdin triggers kill -SIGINT to simctl, and the script then waits for simctl to finish writing the video. The current shutdown() uses destroyForcibly() after a 5-second timeout, which kills the wrapper bash process but may leave simctl mid-write, producing a corrupt/unplayable video file. The canonical stopScreenRecording() method handles this correctly with an unbounded waitFor(). shutdown() should delegate to stopScreenRecording() instead of reimplementing the sequence.
